ON TE Washington Merry-Go-Round 1 WITH DREW PEARSON ASHINGTON-Under the new anti- Communist law, any newspaperman can. be put in jail for publishing secret docu- ments. Neverthless, I am going to publish - a confidential State Department instruction which happens to be one of the most im- portant issued in five years. The secret memo is an instruction to American delegates at the current U.N. General Assembly, and it states: tThe aim of this critical session is to lift GA (abbreviation for General Assembly) out of the debating society class and make it an effective action agency when collective defense through SC (abbreviation for Se- curity Council) is frustrated ... to organize GA effectively to deter further aggression." In those 38 words is sunmed up the most important reversal of American pol- icy in years. In those 38 words is also spell- ed out -the hopes for future peace in the world. It is a reversal because at San Francisco, where the United Nations was founded in 1945, American delegates insisted that the new organization be dominated by the big powers on the Security Council. At that time we were just as strong for the veto as the Russians. So were the British and French; The veto was our joint and mutual baby. V* .. BIG VS. LITTLE NATIONS At that time also, the smaller nations, led by dynamic, farsighted foreign minister Evatt of Australia, tried to curtail the veto; tried to increase the power of the Geneli Assembly.. New Zealand, Greece, Belgium, the Scan- dinavian countries all fought for this prin- ciple. They know what the veto meant. They realized that when the big powers sat down in the Security Council, they would be just as deadlocked as on the Council of the old League of Nations. However, the United States, at that time, .sided with Russia, and the Security Council with its veto was made all-powerful com- pared with the democratic General Assem- bly where majority ruled. This is what the State Department is trying to reverse in New York right now. For the American people saw what the U.N. could do when Russia was absent from the Security Council; also how sty- mied the Security Council was when Rus- sia returned. But believe it or not, the countries now dragging their feet are our best friends, the French and British. With far less to lose than we, they are proposing "constructive criticism" which actually has the effect of helping to pull the Russian chestnuts out of the fire. * * * ANTI-COMMUNIST BILL MANY Republicans didn't know this when they voted for the new Communist con- trol law, but under it the Justice Depart- ment has the complete and unchallengeable power to investigate such GOP senators as Taft of Ohio, Jenner of Indiana, Wherry of Nebraska and Watkins of Utah on the ground that their voting records coincide with left-wing Congressman Marcantonio of New York. NEW AMBASSADOR TO LONDON President Truman has decided to appoint Walter Gifford, former head of American Telephone and Telegraph company, as American ambassador to Great Britain. Mr. Gifford was a member of Governor Dewey's finance committee in 1948, and was chairman of Herbert Hoover's unem- ployment committee during the darkest days of the depression, 1931-32, at which time he was subject to considerable criti- cism for inadequate proposals to alleviate the breadlines. Gifford has been an active money raiser for the Red Cross, and is close to General Marshall, the 'new 'Secretary of Defense and former head of the Red Cross. In politi- cal circles, it is reported that Gifford's ap- pointment was inspired by Marshall. Word of the Gifford appointment came about when James Bruce, former ambassa- dor to Argentina, who has long been prom- ised :the London embassy, called at the White House this week. Bruce, an active money raiser for Mr.'Truman at a time when Truman money was hard to raise, had received a personal commitment from the President some time ago that he would be appointed as Ambassador to Great Britain when Lewis Douglas, present am- bassador, resigned. During the interim, he served as ambassador to Argentina and as head of the arms program under the North Atlantic pact. When Bruce called at the White House this week, the President broke the news of the Gifford appointment. "A terrible thing has happened, Jim," said Mr. Truman. "The truth is, I've been outmaneuvered. It's a terrible thing to ask you, but I think I've got to ask you to release me from my commitment." "You're in charge of foreign policy, Mr. President. "They've handed me someone I sponsibility, and the most important one you have. If you've found a better man for this job, that's enough for me." "No, that isn't exactly it," replied the President. They've handed me someone I don't know. He's- a fellow who's president of the telephone company." "Is it Walter Gifford?" "Yes," said Mr. Truman. "This is something that's got out of my control," continued the President. "And the real trouble is that you're suffering from having been so loyal to me." Bruce replied that he had ample to keep him busy, with his own work in New York and Baltimore, and that he had not been looking for a job in the first place. The two men parted good friends. THbMAS L. STOKES: Soviet Sweet Talk WASHINGTON-Our government is clear- ly aware of the meaning of the currnt "sweet" talk of the Russians at the U.N. Assembly, which is exemplified by the trans- formation of Jacob A. Malik into a chirping Pollyanna from the villain role he played only so recently in the U.. Security Coun- cil for a wide television audience. Russia's purpose, plainly, is to end as quickly as possible the mess into which she got herself in Korea and to press, under the beguiling mantle of "peace" lovers, for a settlement which will leave her still in control in North Korea just as if nothing had happened. This we do not intend to permit, nor can the United Nations, if it is to live up to its commitments on Korea, which are for a uni- fied government free of outside influence and interference, Russia's or anybody else's. ** * ]0PAT AND patent have been Russia's gestures, as, for example, the way Mr. Malik grabbed at the first straw offered. This was the visit of a delegation from the Maryland Committee for Peace with its tai- lormade questionnaire. In prompt and easy "yes" replies to this questionnaire, Mr. Malik came out blandly for a top-level meeting be- tween U.S. and Russian officials to nego- tiate on all differences and offered a pledge that Russia would not use the atom bomb first. Then he personally telephoned the Associated Press to tell that far-flung news agency all about it, an unprecedented action. For hitherto it has been almost impossible to get any Russian official to comment even on the time of day or the state of the weather. Since Mr. Malik went through his act before the U.N. Security Council in August when he was its presiding officer, things have happened, and happened quickly- chiefly General Douglas MacArthur's land- ing and advance across middle Korea: in a pincer movement to cut off the North Korean army and crush it between the two United Nations forces. It may be significant that Mr. Malik's "peace" stunt with the Marylanders came just a few hours before the capture of Seoul was announced formally by General MacAr- thur. Our State Department has expected some Russian maneuver and deduced ,that it was not far off when, at the very outset of this U.N. Assembly session, Andrei A. Vishinsky and his associates, adopted a studied con- ciliatory attitude. We were prepared for it. Secretary of State Acheson seized the first opportunity to present to the Assembly his bold pro- posal that it clothe itself with authority to act promply to cdeck any future aggres- sion, and replace the U.N. Security Coun- ci, which again is impeded by the Rus- sian veto. Coupled with this were his bristling in- dictment of the "new Russian imperialism" and his brusque challenge to the Soviets. All this was designed to rally the free nations of the world and call Russia to account. This obviously it has done, as shown by the greatly stepped-up arms program for our- selves and our allies, and now the bad news for Russia from Korea. * * *, SECRETARY OF STATE Acheson now is seeking to enlist the free nations to counter in the U.N. Assembly, Russia's at- tempt to wash out her North Korean ad- venture with a quick "peaceful" settlement that would settle nothing. The future of Korea is to be a U.N. de- cision. President Truman has adopted that attitude,andwisely. Our aim now is to see that Russia does not blithely get off the hook by restoring the status quo. Korea must be unified and Independent. Whether this will mean that U.N. armies eventually , will cross the 38th parallel to take control'. of North Korea is not -decided; but that is being urged., The U.N.'s task is not simple. Peace, how- ever arrived at, carries a magic appeal, and Russia is playing that harmony on all strings. Furthermore, we must necessarily proceed with delicacy because of Russia's in- fluence in the Orient and the tensions she promotes. It is fortunate that we have projected this' whole drama that so affects all of us into the open in the U.N. Assembly. (Copyright 1950, by United Feature Syndicate, .re.) The .Best Memorial The United States has properly and promptly expressed its profound regret over the unintentional bombing of British troops on the Songju heights by units of the Ameri- can air force. And the British are sufficiently and sadly versed in the history of warfare to realize that such things do happen in the confusion of battle and to accept the re- grets at face value. There was, a particular difficulty present in the Songju incident. The ground troops and the airmen involved belonged to dif- ferent nations as well as to different services. They speak the same language, but with marre rifferentac centA Their militr v PubUcation in The Daily Official Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.

They are amenable to the laws govern- ing the community as well as to the rules and orders of the Uni- versity and University officials, and they are expected to observe the standards of conduct approved by the University. Whenever a student, group of students, society, fraternity, or other student organization fails to observe either the general standards of conduct as above outlined or any specific rules which may be adopted by the proper University authorities, or conducts himself or itself in such a manne as to make it apparent that he or it is not a desirable member or part of the University, he or it shall be liable to disciplinary ac- tion by the proper University au- thorities. Specific rules of con- duct which must be observed are: Women Guests in Men's Resi- dences.

While guest chaper- ons are not required groups with- out resident house directors must announce these events to the Of- McCarran Act ... To the Editor: PLEASE FORGIVE me if I seem a bit excited. Frankly, I'm scared. I'm scared because of what happened in Congress a few days ago. That was the day that witnessed a mutilation of our Bill of Rights; Congress passed the McCarran-Wood-Kilgore Bill over a Presidential veto. That was the day Langer collapsed and Douglas sobbed. That was the day the Washington wire service was flooded with responses to Sen. Lehman's plea for public support of an eleventh-hour stand against the bill. And when the smoke cleared away, the legal founda- tions of a Police State had been prepared. American Fascism was more than Just an idea by Sinclair Lewis. That horrible bill was law. The organizations that sound- ed the alarm included the CIO, fice of Student Affairs at least one day in advance of the scheduled date. Calling Hours for Women in Men's Residences.

Coming Events Le Cercle Francals: first meet-, mg has been postponed to Mon., Oct. 9, same time, Michigan Lea- gue. the AFL, The American Civil Lib- erties Union, the American As- sociation of University Professors. The list included every liberal and progressive organization in the country. It also seemed as if every important person I respect pro- tested that bill: Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Zachariah Cha. fee( Harvard Law School), Pierre Van Passen, Langston Hughes, Bishop Brashares of Iowa. This is what they said. The bill would, "sweep away traditional American concepts of civil rights. It would place in jeopardy the right of as- sociation and thus would termin- ate freedom of assembly and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances." These were serious charges in- deed! Our President, not a man for hysterics, said of the bill, "it would open a pandora's box of op- Portunities for official condemna- tion of organizations and individ- uals for perfectly honest opinions which happen to be stated also by the Communists ... the next logi- cal step would be to 'burn the books'." The pattern of Fascism is uri- mistakable. That's what Truman is talking about. And when Tru- man talks like that, I'm scared. But fear should lead to activity. The law can and must be declared unconstitutional. All of us who are interested in retaining our vanishing civil liberties must cry out loudly and clearly. I for one would like to see some editorials that don't pull punches. (Is the liquor problem more important) I'd like to read some letters that lash out. To put it squarely, our country has never before been in such peril from within. And it's not the Communist Party that is the real danger. The hysteria that bred and is being born of this law may hit Ann Arbor if we are not alert, informed and vocal. Rumor has it that we are in for a witch-hunt here, ala California. But let us not wait around an watch our democratic structure crumble. There are things to do, telegrams to be written, people to speak to. As Professor David Hab. er of the Yale Law School put it, "Give a little time now, or in a short time you will wish you had given all your time. By then it may be too late. By then such a letter as this may be sufficient to get me Iabled as "Subversive." I'm scared, Mr. Editor and readers. How about you?
