ELLIS AIR LINES DAILY TRIPS JUNEAU TO KETCHIKAN via Pelersburg and Wrangell "With connections to Craig, Klawock and Hydaburg Convenient afternoon departures, at.2:30 P. M. FOR RESERVATIONS PHONE 612 “The thinking fellow Calls a YELLOW” THE FBI AND INVESTIGATION¥ Logically, any governmeni estab- lishes ways and means to proteet itself against destruction. Politic- (ally, this may become a dangerous | device, actually leading to tyranny {The American problem is to pro- ;ducc a formula by which the civil rights of citizens, guaranteed by the Constitution, will bé fully pro- tected, while at the same time the |nation is safeguarded from enemies within as well as without. Because often one purpose con- flicts with the other, the devices employed become mired in confus- ion. For the British, it is simpler. {A Royal Commission can have all the information available and no agency of the government can set |itself up as free from investigation. In the United States, the general assumption is that a Congressional |committee possesses similar rights. This is not so. First of all, a Congressional committee is limited by the separation of powers be- tween the.Executive and Legislative branches of government. Secondly, a Congressional committee is limi- ted by the terms of reference ar- ranged in the resolution calling it into being. Often it is limited by the par- ticular interests of those who do the investigating. The FBI is an agency in the Department of Justice controited by the attorney general. In mat- ters political, the policies of the FBI are decided by the President and the attorney general. Because J. Edgar Hoover has served as its director since 1924 and the people | have confidence in him personally, | it is too often forgotten that his is not an independent agency but a bureau in a department. Were someone else at the head of the Bureau, this fact would be more obvious. The FBI functions as a police force, its object being to develop facts which ,under our rules of' evidence, will stand up in a court of law. It does, however, not bring an action in a court. That is done | by the attorney general. FBI op- eratives may appear as witnesses, but they must take the same chances as all other witnesses un- der examination and cross-examin- ation. They are not privileged characters, nor is their information privileged as was established in the Coplon case. The FBI is not a secret police institution such as exists in many European countries. Therefore, J. Edgar Hoover sound- ly states: “The F. B. L is interested in ac- tions, not thoughts; in deeds, not beliefs; what man does, not what he thinks.” THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA i | Screen Actress Ava Gardner flashes a smile at Spanish bullfighter Mario Cabre as she signs a guest book in a Madrid bar. was made pricr to the Thursday crooner Frank Sinatra, with whom Miss Gardner’s name has been linked romantically. Cabra said he Gardner and “upset” over the visit Sinatra is paying at her villa in | the tiny Catalan village of Tossa, on the Mediterranean coast. (P ‘Wirephoto. Were it otherwise, the FBI would be violating the Constitution of the United States. But how do you determine the deeds of a subversive person who is part of a conspiracy to alter the government of the United States in the interest of a foreign powers? This involves a vast knowledge of the nature and purposes of the conspiracy. It has to do as much with thoughts and associations as with deeds. For instance, every- bedy seems to be talking these days i about “card-carrying Communist: There are none. The Communists stopped issuing | cards some time during the Stalin-’ Hitler Alliance, around 1939. There- fore, it is necessary to establish affiliations by other means. Thic is not only difficult to do, bml it is even more difficult to do with- out impairing civil rights. Yet, it Is essential that this country be safeguarded from the activities in which such men as Alger Hiss, Whittaker Chambers, Klaus Fuchs and many others en- gaged. The Russian weapon of war is not the A-bomb but the univer- sal conspiracy concerning funda- mental assumptions which, if de- stroyed, weeken a nation. The FBI does siudy inis prob- lem and has files on the subject. The Civil Service Commission and the various loyalty boards have | files. The House Committee on Un-American Activities and the Army and Navy have files. No- where is there co-ordination; there is even less understanding of the fundamntal nature of the conspir- acy. In spite of at least 30 years of | activity in the United States, no thorough study has yet appeared of the nature and characterist*s of the Communist conspiracy in fie United States. While fragments have, been studied, no one has yet! producd data to explain how very few have been able to do so much, and also why so many who are not Communists are willing to do their work for them.

The amazing disclosures of a world-wide network of intrigue that erupted in Canada with the ex- | posure of a fabulously complex and daring atom bomb plot, brought to ‘tht a story unequalled by any- thing that even E. Phillips Oppen- heim, that old master of spy fic- tion, ever wrote. It proved to be, in fact, the most amazing plot in 3300 | years of recorded espionage. As the couple in “The Iron Cur- tain” who are destined always to live in danger and never to know a quiet moment, the studio chose Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney. Andrews is seen as Gouzenko, the Embassy code clerk, who exposed the spy ring, while Miss Tierney is his wife, Anna, who wanted only that their son be brought up in a country free from fear. Other characters are taken by sev- eral newcomers to the screen al- though June Havoc leads the sup- porting cast. TWO CAP GROUPS MEET WEDNESDAY Emphasis will be on future aciivi- ties in the discussion of Juneau Civil Air Patrol squadron members at | the semi-monthly meeting Wednes- day. Training will be continued for the Cadet Corps which will meet at the same time and place—at 7:30 p.am. in the Engineer’s Office at the Army dock. For the adults in the CAP squad- ron, this will be the last regular meeting until fall. They will outline plans for summer activity, at occa- sional meetings to be called. A work party is in the offing, too, as a building has been made available for Civil Air Patrol units and it must be put in shape and ‘equinped. Details of equipment will be worked out at the Wednesday meeting. Although the senior group will meet irregularly during the next three months, the cadet drill and pre-flight training has been stepped up, this unit now meeting every Wednesday. STRICKEN SERGEANT FLOWN TO KETCHIKAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT A Coast Guard aircraft from An- | nette Island flew to the aid of a stricken Alaska Communications System sergeant on the cable ship Lenoir this morning.
