S. passports to sus pected subversives is only beginning to boil. American citizens will learn, as the argument develops, that the United States long has had a tighter grip on their foreign travel than is imposed, for example, by Canada France or Britain.

Americans also will learn that Franklin D. Roosevelt is vigorously on record in this dispute. FDR lined up with those who would deny U. S. passporte to unreliable citizens. He issued an' executive order in the peacetime year of 1938 expressly authorizing the sec retary of state "in his discretion to refuse to issue a passport.” TRinWAN ON RECORD Former President Truman is similarly on record and his secre tary of state, Dean Acheson, made the stringent regulations effective through the pascport division which was headed by the efficient and strong willed Ruth B.
