On Refusal To Testify
U. S. Senator Willis Smith is exactly right in his con
tention that the courts have gone too far in protecting
witnesses’ rights to refuse to answer questions on the
grounds that thev might incriminate themselves:
Mr. Smith was referring to those sordid characters
suspected of being Communists who won't even answer
simple questions for the Senatorial Committee investiga
ting subversives in the United Nations.
“We have had witnesses refuse to acknowledge their
own signatures on passports," pointed out Senator Smith.
“And they have refused to state whether or not a cer
tain person may be their brother or otherwise related."
“I know,” continued Senator Smith, "that the lound
ing fathers wanted to protect citizens from having to tes
ify against themselves, but I don’t think they intended
that this constitutional protecion should be carried as far
\as some cf our courts have done.”
Among those who have refused to cooperate at these
hearings are some proven Communists.
It is absurd for these enemies of America to openly
flaunt higher authority. They're standing cn rights grant
cd them by a Constitution which they arc trying to des
troy. It doesn’t make sense.
The U. S. government can throw you hr jail for not
reporting a crime if you know about it; you can be jail
ed for giving aid to a common garden variety thief.
But these traitors are given all the protection in the
world. It seems we need a law to enforce suspected sub
versives to cooperate with our government officials'.
Senator Smith is doing an excellent job in fighting
and trying to weed out the Communists. He sees the great
menace and dangers of Communism.
North Carolina's junior Senator attended the famed
Nurenburg trials as an official representative of his gov
ernment, twice in the past two years he has gone to Europe
to see firsthand the situation fcrhimself.
The other day in New York Senator Smith lost his
patience with the pinks.
Angry at the attitude of some witnesses, Senator
Smith snapped at the close of the all-day hearing that it is
up to the U. N.. “to help us purge it of spies and sabo
teurs.”
“If that cannot be done,” lie said, “the U. N. ought
not to be allowed to sit in America."
To that, we add a hearty “Amen."

Most important perhaps, from
the viewpoint of the turista, is the
fact that neither of us contracted

many an expatriate American non

A CRY FOR UNITY
The genius of the American peo
ple is progress through differences.
It has been the constant interplay
11 individual responses to the chal
lenges of. problems that has made
it possible for our people to achieve
so much in the atmosphere of
freedom.
Tyrants demand unity of thought
and attitude, and when they achieve
it. us Hitler and Stalin did. they
teduce a people to physical or
spiritual slavery, or both. Unity is
tltv antithesis of liberty. It can
only produce an intellectual smog.
We are now witnessing a not un
usual phenomenon, for our country,
of a strong effort on the part of
Nev, Dealers, professional interna
tionalists. gay do-gooders and even
Communists muscling into the Re
publican Party. Their cry is l'oi'
unity. Let all the smart boys who
made the mistakes that wrecked
us in Asia and lost for us a war
we had won in Europe, continue to
have a good time despoiling the
United States and all in the name
of unity! -
Even if it were possible that the
Eisenhower victory could be twisted
Tito nothing more serious than a
toned-down A.ehesonism. it would
be harmful to the coilntrv to lessen
debate, to avoid investigations in
to the errors made over a 20 year
period and their causes. The temper
cf the country would not permit
a pall of orchids over the nice
people who have caused such con
fusion. Nice ..people can do fright
ful mischief sometimes as, for in
stance, the activities of Alger Hiss,
to say nothing of Frederick Van
derbilt Field, who is the nicest of
them all.
The opposite of unity, politically
in America, is not disunity; it is
intellectual and spiritual freedom;
ft is difference ol opinion, con
stantly expressed: it is the in
vestigation of cause and effect in
public affairs. The opposite of unity
is tlie two-party system, a whole
some political mechanism which
prevents the Tns" from becoming
flatulent and corrupt and proud
of place, and keeps the “outs"
hammering away at the facts of
life not only. in search for tile
truth, but as a justification lor
throwing Ilic "ins" out.
When the Republicans were eat
ing thistles in tile desert for 20
years, they were ardent supporters
of the two-party system, making a
l tisli ot it. Already some of them
are shouting. Unity! And by that
the mean that everybody should
get behind them blindly and should
criticize nothing. In the intoxica
tion of a long-delayed victory, they
are not thinking clearly.

WASHINGTON— Premier Pinay
Pinay of France has thrown out
feelers lor an early if not im
mediate visit to the United
States for a conference with Gen
eral Eisenhower and or President
Truman .
At stake ill this visit is tile ou
tre structure of our carefully built
up Western European defense. We
have been so busy with our own
elections that the public doesn't
realize that this now hangs in the
balance.
This was the reason why Presi
dent Truman sent a special eou», -r
10 Eisenhower last week carrying
a secret communication.
Briefly, here are the reasons for
Premier Pinny's proposed pilgrim
age and the vital factors awaiting
decision in West Europe:
1 The French are sore as blazes
over our discussion of the Arab
demands for North African inde
pendence at the U. S. .They even
threaten to pull out of NATO if
we don’t back them up against the
Arabs.
2. Tlie French feel they hove
been bled white in liido-China and
are about ready to dump this in
our lap in the same way the British
dumped Greece.
3. The Pinay government is in
danger of being voted out of of
fice. Yet. it's one of the most cfli
ci< lit govern men ts France has had
and definitely pro - American. It
will nerd political support from
tlie U. S. A. 10 Stay in power, ami •
that political support will have to
come either in regard to tlie Arabs
or liido-China.
4. A huge Chinese Communist
army is reported poised on the
Indo-Chinese border. If there's
peace in Korea, more troops and
more materiel can feed the Com
munist "rev.lt" against the French.
Perhaps worst of all. and hang
ing over it all. is the growing anti-
Americanism, growing isolationism
of the French. 111 the same way
that .many Americans are getting
more isolationist, so are tire French.
They are increasingly suspicious of
Germany, are bucking the 1 United
European Army, and it looks as
if the great strides toward peace
and unity might go down the
drain.
Divide and rule is the Kremlin's
strategy, arid it will take .super
human.steps by an inspiring leas
der to weld us together again with
our Allies,
This is the greatest problem the
new president will have to face
for. whereas Korea- is a very small
war. what's happening in Europe
is planting the definite seeds of
another World War.

OVER HIS HEARTSICK REAC
TION
DEAR MARY HAWORTH: My
husband, whom I shall call Bill,
has a buoyantly cheerful person
ality and until recently he was al
most always in good spirits. Now
days he is so saddened that it
breaks my heart. The children and
I miss his old mood very much and
maybe you can say how to comfort
him.
His father died a year ago and
recently his mother died also. To
add to the grief of his bereavement,
he was rejected by them in his
will. All their considerable estate
went to his younger brother Na
than. In a letter left to Bill, his
mother explained it was because
Nathan needed the money more;
and she asked Bill not to let me
talk him into challenging her last
wishes an idea that wouldn't
occur to me. I am not concerned
about the property but about Bill's
deep hurt and chagrin.
When Bill was 16 he began sub
substantially to pay his own way
and at 21 became entirely self
supporting. We met that year and
married when he was 23. Honors
were heaped on him as a student
and he was always trying to please
his parents, who never praised
him. They were always critical, h.*,
mother in particular but he
thought they loved him. Today he
is a professional man, outstanding
in his field. What more could his
parents have asked?
Nathan, now 25, has never had
a job. He has a . college degree,
having taken eight years to com
plete the course,' meanwhile de
voting a good deal of time to the
social whirl. He always lived at
home, lavishly provided for by his
parents. Apparently he ruled then
hearts completely and, although he
deceived them at times, they never
knew it. Where is the justice in
this situation? Can you help me
remove the sting? C. L.

REASONS VS. EXCUSES
Men grumble and complain a
boUt doing many good things which
are logical and right.
Their grumbling is just on gen
eral principles, and belongs in the
same category as a child s ai guing
about washing behind his ears or
brushing his teeth.
An intelligent wife must soon
learn, like the star salesman, to
distinguish between "excuses" ver
sus "reasons.”
A husband's grumbling is usually
illogical. It represents his physical
and psychological incrita. He lazily
wants to stay put or continue with
the status quo.
Ingore such "excuses” as your
husband. may put up, and smile
sweetly but keep prodding him. '\
Remember, a man never retains
dislike for his mother because she
made him do things that were
right and proper.
You wives must thus learn to jog
your husband into correct be
havior. Don't let down and take
the easy rout of agreeing with a
man's illogic.
RELIGION IN WIFE’S NAME
You are familiar with the old
saying that men often try to car
ry their religion in their wife’s,
name.
They also expect her to stand
for other cultural and altruistic
enterprises in society. They like to
sec her shed tears of sympathy for
unfortunate children. They respect
her for her prayers.
True, they make light of her
being so sympathetic and tender
hearted, or cveii complain about
her wasting her time in Church
Work, but NEVER take such coin-,, .

and morality. ,

anced the scales unwittingly in
"giving’’ to their sons. Judging by
your picture of Bill's qualities ver
sus Nathan’s, it appears that Bill
got the finer legacy, even though
Nathan gets the property.
In struggling to earn his par
ents approval, or rather say, in
trying to overcome his insecurityL
rating in their affections, Bill de
veloped extraordinary social com
petence. He learned at an early
age to make his own way, finan
cially. He invaded the field of
scholarship with resolute ambition,
taking many honors in stride and
today he is doing distinguished
work in his chosen profession.
In addition, he has attracted a
wealth of true love and warm de
votion to himself in his married
life, wherein he is “the big cheeses
with wife and children. All this'
he was wrought from the stuff of
self—from his own inborn or God
given resources. And in climbing
the upward path strictly on his
own he has retained a buoyantly
cheerful disposition, you say
until staggered by the triple blow
of his parents' death and the "re
jecting” last testament.

It is rather ato Bill's credit, V
think proof of wholesome sen
sibilities that he is heartsick
over this crowning evidence of par
ental favoritism cf the lesser bro
ther. It indicates that he isn’t a
hardened, closed, embittered per
sonality who hides vindictiveness
behin dimpassivity. On the con
trary he shows himself spontan
eously receptive to life as it is
capable of feeling pain, shock,
grief and disappointment, and rejrf"
istering the repercussions in his
w'hole behavior. This is the hall
mark of humane chartcer, gen
uinely love-worthy.
It is Bill’s inalienable good for
tune to be fully a man in terms of
experience, though a saddened
man, in the wake of his parents’
death. Whereas Nathan is still a
child, comparatively, at 25, pos
sibly dependent on dole from trust
funds. Or at any rate, dependent
on parental arrangements madf~
towards the last when they dimly’'
realized their mistakes in relation
to both sons, probably, and the in
trinsically ruinous effects on him.
As between the two, Bill is far
better equipped for satisfactory
living. But if he wishes to contest
his parents’ will, seeking a fair
slice of patrominy, he has my bles
sing on the venture. M.H.
