The President's Veto

PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S courageous veto
of H.R. 5678, an offensive anthology of
hatreds, fears and prejudices in the realm
of immigration, deserves the applause of his
fellow Americans. Unfortunately, because it
was Harry S. Truman who wielded the pow-
er, the veto proclamation may not receive
the support it merits when the bill is re-
turned to Congress next week.
In its more abusive provisions the leg-
islation mirrors the anti-democratic lean-
ings of its renegade Democrat sponsor,
Sen. Pat McCarran, of Nevada, who eu-
phemistically titles his codification of
existing and proposed immigration sta-
tutes an "Immigration and Nationality
Act." Actually it is nothing of the sort; a
more accurate name was provided in yes-
terday's New York Times, which referred
to it as the "McCarran anti-immigration
act."
The legislation has its good features, but
these the President noted with regret, do not
begin to outweigh its continuing sanction of
the many existing inequities in our immi-
gration and naturalization programs, and
the authorization of several new infringe-
ments upon the civil liberties of American
citizens.
Perhaps the strongest point in its favor
is a long-awaited provision for the entrance
of minute numbers of Asians into this coun-
try. And of course, not the least of its good
features is the simple fact that, as an omni-
bus bill, it at last compiles and synchronizes
within a single legal frame the hodgepodge
of statutes dealing with the entry of for-
eign nationals into the United States.
But the anti-immigration bill also con-
tinues the discriminatory and basically
unworkable quota system-based on 1920
figures-which has required in recent
years continual bickering over additional
legislation to meet the crying needs of
today's troubled world. Sen. McCarran's
measure, in effect, grants refuge to na-
tionals who neither need nor very much
want it; the measure virtually bars those
to whom entry is a matter of life and
death.
A succinct and precise recitation of the
Editorials printed in The Michigan Daily
are written by members of The Daily staff
and represent the views of the writer only.
This must be noted in all reprints.
NIGHT EDITOR: MIKE WOLFF

McCarran bill's sins is to be found on the
editorial page of yesterday's Times:
"... it continues and in some cases ac-
centuates distinctions founded solely on
race; it runs counter to fundamental Am-
erican concepts of justice; it emphasizes
the differentiation between naturalized and
native-born citizens; it witlessly plays
straight into the hands of our Communist
enemies."
And as the President pointed out in
what was an exceptionally well written
veto message, the bill makes a fundamen-
tal assumption that most Americans will
find repugnant, "... that Americans with
English or Irish names were better people
and better citizens than Americans with
Italian or Greek or Polish names,,... that
people of West European origin made bet-
ter citizens than Rumanians or Yugoslavs
or Ukrainians or Balts or Austrians."
"Such a concept," the President said, "is
utterly unworthy of our traditions and our
ideals."
Passage of the anti-immigration measure
in the face of the President's veto message
would give a decisive and irrevocable lie to
the announced purposes of American for-
eign policy. It would, almost parenthetically,
officially sanction the despair settling over
the displaced millions courageous enough to
flee Communist oppression in eastern and
southern Europe.
If this tragedy is to be avoided it will
take immediate realization by Adminis-
tration supporters that their presence on
Capitol Hill is urgent next week. Political
fence-mending and just plain shirking of
responsibility have produced more than
this one legislative Frankenstein in re-
cent weeks, but no other measure has yet
reached the President's desk. If the re-
presentatives and senators of the Ameri-
can people do not prevent the McCarran
anti-immigration bill from disgracing this
country's legal processes this second time,
they will have made a mockery of the
United States, democracy, and simple jus-
tice.
If this bill, on the other hand, becomes
the law of this land over the President's
veto, it might appropriately include a rider
to the effect that Sen. Patrick McCarran be
empowered to destroy symbolically what he
will have destroyed legally. In brief, the
Senator should be deputized to saw the
torch-bearing arm off the Statue of Liberty
and abrade, with sulphuric acid, the drivel
about "huddled masses" at the base.

MATTER OF FACT
By JOSEPH and STEWART ALSOP

(duie 1/te
By LEONARD GREENBAUM
MOST OF THE drama (and the melo-
drama) of the University's fight with
Academic freedom will be missing from cam-
pus this summer because of the absence of
the prime movers of all college administra-
tions, the social action clubs. The "Young
Politicians" and the "Young Liberals" per-
haps wiser than the rest of us, have retired
until the cooler days of the fall semester. Be-
hind them they have left the musicians, the
painters, and the actors, not to mention that
unique group that wanders from one seminar
to another.
Along with the "Young Politicians" the
University's Lecture Committee, the five
man body that decides who and what may
speak at the University, has also departed
for cooler spots, not to be disturbed un-
less a potentially embarrassing situation
arises.
From the vantage point of schedules of
lecturer and student activities, it appears
that no such situation is in the offing. The
only speakers coming are those being brought
by the various departments and specialized
programs. Though these summer programs
offer a wide variety of individuals with, we
hope, a wide diversity of opinion, there are
none of the suspect type, the Howard Fasts
the Paul Robesons' and the Diego Riveras'
not to mention the relatively innocuous peo-
ple who visited campus this past year.
With such a peaceful summer ahead of us,
direct, personal controversy will be lacking.
The problems of liberties and freedoms will
be voiced only on the academic level. But
before these issues become totally intangible
and are forgotten (until the fall) there is
one tribute that must be paid, though be-
latedly-and that is to the faculty mem-
bers of the Literary College who publicly
voiced their opposition to the Lecture Com-
mittee.
In our present day, the man who is
willing to speak for his ideals without bow-
ing to the pressures of practicality and in-
fancy is becoming the most recent of the
vanishing Americans. It was therefore
heartening to see a large section of the
faculty go on record against the censor-
ship of ideas.
Unfortunately, their action came too late
to achieve a maximum of its small practi-
cal effect. The faculty meeting at which
their motion was passed occurred after the
school year had closed, and after The Daily
had ceased publication. Too many students,
who during the year had become accustomed
to a policy of suppression and intimidation,
never learned that their teachers had finally
stood up for the "American tradition of in-
tellectual freedom."
As an instrument of pressure to bring
about a change in the Regent's rule that
authorizes the Lecture Committee, the fac-
ulty resolution will not be effective. Many
of the faculty members realized this only
too well. For once having passed the resolu-
tion they have no future plans for either
its promulgation or transformation into a
direct action.
The main value of the faculty resolution
is in its service as a signpost that teachers
are as concerned with the policies of the
University as are administrators and Re-
gents. Though the faculty are the least
powerful of these groups, they are the
main source of the University's reputa-
tion. The knowledge that they can be prod-
ded into action by persistent and flag-
rant bans such as were experienced this
past year might serve as a check for any
future extension of the present restrictive

measures.
But before any changes for the better will
be made in the present rules, there will have
to be a change in the opinion of what is
perhaps the most influential of all groups,
the mythical "public." Before that can hap-
pen there will have to be an even greater
change in the press and radio that so
greatly influence the "public."
At present we are in a dormant period,
waiting for the next restrictions, the next
bans. If more of the respected groups in
society, such as the faculty members of the
Literary College, join in the protests, the
legitimacy of the complaints will become
more established in the minds of outside
observers.
Similar action by the faculties of the
other schools and colleges would give firm-
er backing to the position of the Literary
College group. But this will have to wait
until the fall when the Lecture Committee
and the Young Politicians return for an-
other and perhaps more conclusive fight
over academic freedom.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

I

j

WASHINGTON-A significant story is told
by two allied, but in some ways con-
trasting, orders recently issued by the Amer-
lcan gofernment. The first is an order that
was secretly issued to take effect June 1. It
limits the use of our ports and the Panama
Canal by Soviet and satellite shipping. And
the limitations are so severe that, in effect,
the major ports and the Canal have now been
closed to all vessels from the Soviet sphere.
The need for such an order has long been
obvious. The Canal and the ports are al-
most certainly the weakest links in our
whole defensive system. Let the Canal be
blocked, and our naval strategy will be
knocked galley west. Let the ports be put
out of commission, and it will become im-
possible for use to supply our allies and
sustain our own forces overseas. Moreover,
the Canal can be blocked, and any of our
major harbors can be rendered useless, by
the explosion of a single atomic bomb,
which any seemingly innocent freighter
can sconceal in its hold.
This danger has long been debated in
the National Security Council and else-
where in the higher reaches of the govern-
ment. The question was resolved this spring,
when the Coast Guard was told -to safe-
guard the ports while the guardianship of
the Canal was confided to the Navy. En-
forcement of the order has not yet been
necessary, since almost no Soviet or satel-
lite vessels nowadays cross either the Atlan-
tic or Pacific. For the same reason, con-
cealment of the order has been possible.
And the purpose of concealment was to
avoid stirring people up, here or abroad.
* * *
ORDER NUMBER TWO is more recent
and Is non-secret. It inaugurated the
twenty-four hour air watch of our great
urban and industrial centers. It has been
much criticized, just as the order for clos-
ing the ports would no doubt be criticized if
it conflicted with the interests, or even with
the comfort, of any large group in this
country. In the case of this second order,
what has been concealed is the real motive
for it.
The motive is all too simple. Six months
ago, the Soviet strategic air force occu-
pied its forward bases closest to this coun-
try, in Kamchatka. Since then, active Sov-
iet air reconnaissance of this continent has
been detected on several occasions.
Anyone can purchase aerial photographs

of every strategic area in the United States.
Hence the object of this Soviet air recon-
naissance is obviously to test the effective-
ness of our air warning and defense sys-
tem. None of the Soviet aircraft flying over
Alaska and Canada has yet been intercepted.
The main proofs of their presence have been
the vapor trails they left behind. Hence
our air warning and defense system is quite
plainly far from satisfactory.
Under the circumstances, the order for
continuous air watching was, if anything,
rather belated. But the air watch will be
only partly effective, because the true
motive for it has been concealed. For the
same reason, the civil defense program has
been gutted by the Congress. Again, the
purpose of this concealment has been to
avoid stirring people up.
What strikes one in the histories of
these two orders, in fact, is the peculiar
schizophrenia that is revealed. The danger
hanging over us is considered sufficiently
great to justify the orders being issued. But
the impulse to hide this danger from the
country, the impulse to be bland and re-
assuring, is also so strong that in one case
the order itself was muffled, and 'in the
other the easy and natural explanation of
the order was put under wraps.
* * *
N MANY OTHER cases, this schizophrenia
is producing even more unhealthy re-
sults. For example, the fact has trickled
through the rather misty German segment
of the Iron Curtain, that the Kremlin has
placed orders in East Germany for no less
than 6200 microwave transmission towers.
This gigantic order will be sufficient to pro-
vide the whole Soviet empire with a closed
microwave communications system. The cost
of completing such a system will be astron-
omical.
The fact that such an immense invest-
ment is being planned by the Kremlin
in turn reflects the Kremlin's concern
about a very vital matter-namely, the
ease with which all communications sys-
tems except the microwave system can
now be jammed.
The jamming art was still in its infancy
when the Kremlin jammers all but broke
off communications between the battleship
Missouri and the Navy Department, on the
occasion, several years ago, of the Missouri's
mission to the Dardanelles. The jamming
art is in its infancy no longer. Our own
communications, internal as well as trans-
Atlantica n trans-Pacific. are just as vul-

To the Editor:
ON JULY 7th the Republican

their candidate for President of

Dwight D. Eisenhower.
National attention has been
drawn to the fact that the dele-

Convention from Michigan may
well determine the selection of a
candidate by their choice. The im-
portance of registered voters ex-
pressing their preference to their
Convention delegates in terms of
the candidate that should be nom-
inated is very great. The delegates
may not know clearly the prefer-
ence-of the constituents within
their districts.
I would like to suggest that if
you share my earnest belief that
Eisenhower should be the Repub-
lican Party candidate for Presi-
dent in November, that you im-

ON THE
Washington Merry-Go-Round
with DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-Col. Jack Arvey, Democratic boss of Chicago, is
quietly passing out word that "his man," meaning the Governor
of Illinois, has "consented to go" and definitely will be 'a candidate
for the presidency.
This, if true, and Arvey has the reputation of never going back
on his. word, is the most important development in the Democratic
race since President Truman's Jefferson-Jackson dinner statement
that he would not run again.
It means that with the backing of the President, and the
support of such powerful Democratic wheel horses as Gover-
nor Dever in Boston, Mayor David Lawrence of Pittsburgh, and
other big city Democrats, Stevenson can undoubtedly get the
nomination.
But the thing Gov. Stevenson has been worried about and one
reason he has been holding off is just exactly this-the support of
the President and the big city bosses. While he is a close personal
friend of Jack Arvey's, and while he is on the friendliest terms with
the President, he knows it would be political suicide for him to be
stamped as the nominee of the big city machines.
ADLAI'S DILEMMA
HE KNOWS that a large number of independent Democrats this
year will vote with the Republicans for a "change"- if the
Democrats put up a candidate too close to the President Truman
administration. In other words, the Democratic candidate has got to
be completely divorced from even the faintest connection with Tru-
manism in order to win.
That, so far, is one strength of Senator Kefauver, the pub-
lic knows that Truman opposed him, and that Kefauver dared
buck the big city machines. Kefauver's problem is that, while
he could be elected in November more easily than any other
Democrat, he can't be nominated i July without the support of
the President.
Conversely, Adlai Stevenson can have the nomination for the
asking, but he won't be elected if he doesn't oppose the men who
want to hand him the nomination.
TRUMAN'S BATH TUB
PRESIDENT TRUMAN doesn't know it, but if he will remove the
big spread-eagle design at the side of his bathtub he will dis-
cover a secret inscription dedicated to himself and other presidents
who bathe in that tub.
The inscription was carved in a glass panel above the tub
by a workman remodeling the White House and reads:
"In this tub bathes the man whose heart is always clean and
serves the people truthfully."
Needless to say the workman was a registered Democrat and a
Truman admirer.
TIDELANDS DEAL
SENATOR RUSSELL LONG of Louisiana has made a highly sig-
nificant deal o Tidelands Oil with the economy bloc i the Senate.
The deal, which was negotiated with Senator Harry Byrd of Vir-
ginia, is to chop one billion dollars off the military construction pro-
gram in return for enough votes from the economy bloc to override
the President's Tidelands Oil veto.
After Byrd and Long shook hands on the deal, Long sent
Byrd a memo which he read behind closed doors to the Armed
Services Committee. Byrd is acting chairman of this committee
during the absence of Senator Russel of Georgia, now campaign-
ing. Therefore Byrd appointed Long chairman of a subcommittee
to do the military pruning.
But the interesting thing is that Senator Long will have to cut
$84,000,000 of military construction for his own state of Louisiana,
and most senators shy away from slashing anything that spends
federal dollars in their own state.
Senator Long, who is the son of the famed Huey Long, has a
sincere, hard-working record in the Senate, and is respected by his
colleagues. However, they are wondering why is interest in Tide-
lands Oil comes ahead of his normal interst in military construction
for Louisiana.
The answer may be that the Long family owns royalty rights
on oil lands, under the water, off the Louisiana coast. When
questioned regarding this, the Senator said his father had left
him six shares in the "win or lose oil company," each share valued
at $25,000 or a total of $150,000 and that this includes royalty
rights on 40 acres of offshore oil. His mother also owns additional
shares.
He claimed, however, that no oil had been discovered on this
tract and said he had notified the Senate Interior Committe of his
holding so the Senate would know the extent of his personal interest.
ONE MAN RULE
MOST PEOPLE don't realize how, under the Senate's outmoded
seniority system, one man can delay and sometimes control vital
legislation.
However, Senator McKeller of Tennessee is now pressing to
bring Congress back for a summer session August 4, right after
the conventions-and colleagues claim that it's all because he
wants an excuse not to show up in Tennessee for his re-election
campaign,
Eighty-five year old, McKellar knows he can't stage an active
campaign, fears many wouldn't vote for him if they saw his present
condition. So he's holding up several appropriation bills in order to

force Congress to come back. And, under the Senate's seniority sys-
tem, it's difficult for the Appropriations Committee, of which lis
chairman, to function if he doesn't want it to function,
BRITISH IN KOREA
CENERAL MARK CLARK has cabled Washington that he has per-
suaded Field Marshal Alexander to oppose any move to give the
British a bigger voice in Korea.
Lord Alexander visited Korea on instructions from Prime Min-
ister Churchill to demand a change in the U.N. high command. But
Clark has cabled Defense Secretary Lovett saying he has convinced
Alexander that any change at this time would play into Communist
hands.
Alexander, who got along well with Gen. Clark, will tell Churchill
that the Americans are doing a fine job in Korea and that Britain
should not rock the boat.
