That was when Secretary Stevens touk the position that as the civilian head ot the Army he, and not General Zwicker, an officer acting under or ders. was accountable to Congress for the handling of the Peress case. Secretary Stevens had already acknowledged that the Peress case showed a condition which re quired corrective action, and he had prom ised to revise the Army regulations. Sena tor McCarthy's examination of General Zwicker took place after the Secretary of the Army had acknowledged his responsibility to act. vv h\r then after that was General Zwicker to bo held accountable to the McCarthv com mittee? The general was not responsible for the regulations, for the orders which were issued to him and.he had no authority to re verse the decision or to revise the regula tions Putting aside the bullying brutality ol the treatment he received, what was the justification for examining him at all? 1 When Secretary Stevens touk the position that he had the authority and the responsi bility and would therefore himself be ac countable, he spoke not only as WAtVad of } honor must but he was upholding loyalty the first principles of good administration. It makes for mere befuddlement to con tend that because the Peress case is a bad one. Secretary Stevens should have thrown his officers to the wolves and undermined the Inundations of responsible administra tion. A good aduMiustration is not one in which no mistakes are made and there is never a bad case it is absurd to think that public men must not stand up to defend good government except when the ease is perfect and beyond criticism. A good ad ministration is one which is at all times willing and able to correct its mistakes. That is all that can be expected. That is all that one has a right to ask. Senator McCarthy, Republican of Wiscon sin. already had a letter from Secretary Stevens admitting that the Peress case was a bad one and undertaking to bring about re forms. What then was the purpose of con tinuing a congressional investigation of this case before the Army had had the chance to institute the reforms which the Secretary promised* Was General Zwicker bullied before flu committee in order to help the Secretary of the Army do what he had promised to do'' Or was the bullying of General Zwicker done to discredit Secretary Stevens ana his officers and to take the Pe ress case away from, the Department of the Army in order to expoR it in the McCarthy s u b co mm it tee? Manifestly, McCarthy’s purpose was not to help but to discredit Secretary Stevens, and by way of association to discredit Mr. Stev ens’ chief, the general of the Army, and the President of the United States. McCarthy’s quite evident purpose was to demonstrate his power to intimidate the Army, to show that he was so powerful that he coulo reach over the head of the Commander in Chief and terrorize individual officers. To suppose that McCarthy’s objective in theso affairs is to protect the Army against Communist infiltration is to be blind and extremely gillible. If that were his object, he would uphold instead of breaking down the authority of the President and of the Secretary of the Army. McCarthy’s object is to show tliat even in the Army he is a bigger man than they are, and thus to ex^ pand his power by making himself feared. Everywhere in the country, and all over the world, men and women are asking one another what is McCarthy’s ambition, and how is the integrity of the Government to be defended against this brutal usurpation, and how are the peace and liberties of the people to be preserved against this essential ly totalitarian assault. For the short run, until and after the presidential election of 1956, McCarthy's purpose is plain enough. He is not. one may fairly assume, himself a candidate for Presi dent. He is a candidate for supreme boss, for the dictatorship, of the Republican Party^ Knowing quite well that he could not be elected, his unconcealed purpose is to break and subdue the President and the executive branch of the Government, the Republican party in Congress, the national organisation of the party. If any Republican still thinks that McCarthy’s primary target is com munism and not Hie capture of the Repub lican Party he will live and learn differ ently. And how does a people preserve its peace and liberties against such an assault? By realising that his strength with the people is a product of their fears. They are afraid of the cold war, which is indeed a mo mentous and dangerous thing, hut never to be mastered except by men who, knowing the danger, have mastered their fears. But the peoplg are becoming afraid not only of the cold war and pot only of McCarthy’s ex ploitation of their fears uf the cold war. Our people are being made afraid oi McCarthy himself, and in such a fear there are the seeds of totalitarianism. This is the totalitarianism of the man: His cold, calculated, sustained and ruthless effort to make himself feared. That is why he has ben staging a series of demonstra tions, each designed to show that he respects nobody, no office, and no institution in the land, and that everyone at whqm he growls will run away. Though it is not flattering to the human race, it is true that there is always a crowd which is impressed by and will follow a man who makes himself feared. That is how McCarthy’s influence has grown as the President has appeased him. He has grown powerful as the administration has acted as if it felt he was too powerful to be resisted. His power will cease to grow and will di minish as and when, but only as and when, he is resisted, and it has been shown to our people that those to whom we look for lead ership and to preserve our institutions are not afraid of him hirst Ann-mimeiil Tenter Denver Post Harvey O'Connor, who is in Denver this week on ins tour of a number of western pities, is making a courageous one-man stand for American civif'Tfbefties. He has been indicted for contempt of congress because he refused, on First Amendment grounds (NOT Fiffh Amendment), to answer Senator McCarthy's question as to whether or not he was a Communist when he wrote certain books McCarthy’s sleuths turned up in an overseas library of the state department The first amendment, of course, is the one that guarantees free speech and freedom of the press. O’Connor makes no bones about denying he is ur ever was a Communist. But, in ef fect, he tuld the investigating senator that it was none of. Congress's business whether he was or not. He is not a government em ployee, received no return from the sale of his books to the government, and is not in terested in any atempt uf McCarthy’s to get something on the state department under thi' Aclu son secretaryship. Nor are the con tents of Ids books or their effect at issue. O'Connor is neither trying to win support for bis case nor otherwise to benefit from Ids speaking tour before it goes to trial. He merely is steamed up over the issue and wants to discuss it with people and let them think about it for themselves. The courts must decide whether he was right or wrong in refusing to answer McCarthy, or whether the senator himself was out of line. And O'Connor hopes his test of the first amend ment in such circumstances will go to the supreme court for the first time. .... It. is an mpr-rlant cait . that could ..affect any American citizen. O’Connor may lose, and he knows it. But he is ready to serve a jail sentence if hp loses, and he figures even so it is worth the fight for a matter of principle. You’ve got to admire a man with such strength of conviction. Not many of us either would or could make such a stand for the sake of what we believe in.
