Why Tell Us? (Cincinnati Enquirer) In a sensational disclosure, well timed to arouse the nation’s fears, a subcommittee of the Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee has accused an outstanding sclentist in the public service of being “one of the weakest links” in ‘the country’s security respecting atomic energy and weapons. This is an extraordinary rave charge to make, and one which a responsible individual or body will not make unless there is abundant and persuasive evidence. Dr. Edward Condon is the head of the Bureau of Standards, has direct charge of its atomic section, and was an important observer of the Bikini atom bomb- tests. If he is disloyal to the United States and s releasing information to the Soviet Union, as the Congressional subcommittee suggests, he should be in prison, not in the Department of Commerce in a key post. The evidence made public to prove the charges against Dr. Condon is circumstantial. So far as it has been disclosed, it does not make a case. But it is question, therefore, is just what purpose the sub- closure. 3 o] 1f the FBI has any proof of Dr. Condon’s dlS-‘} loyalty, indictment and prosecution should follow, without any needless publicity. If the evidence is 1ot adequate, there certainly should not be any publicity, but, rather, a quiet effort by the proper persons to! obtain sufficient evidence. In any case, there I nothing to be gained by airing unproved chaiges. We have gone a long way, in this country, toward breaking down the standards of freedom. We have in some Congressional committees a new sort of tech- nique. When a man cannot be proved a criminal, it becoming the custom to smear him with unproved accusation, trusting that he will be made so un- comfortable as to resign, or trusting that his em- ployers will be made so uncomfortable as to fire him. That has not been the American way of doing| things in the past. It ought not to be encouraged now. It is quite possible that Dr. Condon 1s an un- trustworthy person to have in the key place he now occupies. If so, the evidence should be given, un- ostentatiously and without flaming accusations, to | the Presdent, who can fire the offender, or to a grand jury, which can indict him. In any case, there is no reason whatever to at- | tempt, as the Un-American Activities Subcommittee is attempting, to put a public official -on trial before pyblic opinion. That is persecution, not prosecution. s | lfie V-iasl;inglon 7 | why we're not worrying about Wal- | lace and his commie supporters.” ((OL.

S8ome South- ern states already had répealed the pell tax. Others, including Virginia, were preparing to do so. In Aldabama, Southern spokes- men said, colored workers were paid the same wage scale as Whites in many industries. In North Carolima, white and colored teach- ers get the same salaries. McGrath said he was well aware of these strides, therefore under- stood the criticism leveled at the Aaministration’s program. That however, he contended, the 1944 party platform. All Presi- c¢on1d not be directed personally dent Truman did was ask Congress' to put into law something to which the Demdcratic party already is committed.” McGrath went on to point out that Truman’s message was mis- understood by many people, espec- ‘at the President, who was only !carrying out party policy, laid | down by Franklin Roosevelt.

Rivers explained that probate claims against the estates of perSons who had received Territorial assis- tance are routine. He explained that the Territory always files a claim against the estate of ahy person who has received welfare funds or who has been a resident of the Pioneer’s Home.
