EDITOR'S NOTE:
The Effect of Crowley's Testimony
Upon the 'Bored' American Public
By DIANE AUWERTER
THE surprising reversal of testimony by Francis
Crowley, former University student, did not
drastically reverse the course of many lives.
For the people named before the House Un-
American Activities committee, it will mean a
changed way of living, perhaps. They may suffer
economic difficulties as a result of it, and many
of them, even those who were specifically men-
tioned as former Communists, will carry a so-
cial stigma with them for a long time.
People who read the story in this morning's pa-
pers, however, probably did not even comment
upon it. In fact, they may not have read beyond
the headlines.
To most of them, former Communists, Inves-
tigating committees and the Fifth Amendment
are such old stories that they do not need nor
deserve comment.
This is partially a good situation. It means
that the national hysteria which threatened sev-
eral years ago is a thing of the past, although its
remants hang on, particularly in the academic
community.
It is also a very dangerous situation. As long
as people are not carefully watching the tactics
of these investigators, and are allowing them to
continue making a mockery of the Bill of Rights
and the traditional American freedoms, men who
are more interested in power than in morality can
proceed pretty much as they please.
Moreover, there is a danger that the lack of
interest in present day abuse of civil liberties
is not only a result of boredom but also of con-
fusion.
The average American is faced with a Jekyll-
Hyde dilemma. If he thinks about the problem at
all, he despises a Crowley for turning informer in
order to save his own skin. At the same time, he
wonders if perhaps Crowley and in turn, Velde,
Clardy, McCarthy and others, are not fighting
Communism with the best tools available. So he
has pushed the problem to the back of his mind
and refuses to think about it at all.
The solution to the problem is too often ennu-
merated to be mentioned here. It calls for closed
hearings, FBI investigation and regular court pro-
cedures in dealing with men whom the evidence
shows are interested in violent overthrow of the
country and alignment with a foreign power.
The way to achieve this solution is not by run-
ning away from the situation. Such a national
retreat can lead only to further stifling of free
expression, increased international tension and
allowing the investigating committees to run
roughshod over whomsoever they choose.
Instead, the present problem demands clear
thinking and direct action from every American.
A congressional election is coming up this fall.
Turning those congressmen who have expressed
approval of the present investigating program out
of office would afford the Administration with
positive proof that people have had enough of
publicity-minded "Red" hunters. Public expression
of disapproval from those who are not afraid of
injury from the Committee is certainly needed.
But most important of all is that people not
simply forget about nor ignore the unpleasant
drama which the Committee hearings afford, lest
they wake up to find they are sleeping the sleep
of prisoners.

DRAMA
WASHINGTON-Republican and
Democratic congressmen who at-
tended the recent White House
briefing on Far Eastern problems
came away with a depressed feel-
ing. The depression, they said,
was not so much because the situa-
tion was grave but because the
administration didn't seem to know
what to do about it.
The closed-door session gives sig-
nificant insight into how Eisenhow-
er and Dulles were thinking dur-
ing their talks with Churchill.
President Eisenhowr started the
briefing with a short pep talk in
which he called for bipartisan sup-
port. Then he introduced Under-
Secretary of State W. Bedell Smith,
just back from the Geneva con-
ference.
Gloomily, Smith reported t h a t
France is ready to accept an In-
dochina cease-fire at any price,
and we will probably have to go
along with it. Inasmuch as we dic-
tated the armistice terms in Ko-
rea on the ground that our boys
were doing the fighting, the French
are now insisting on fixing the
terms in Indochina for the same
reason.
The United States, the undersec-
retary of state told the senators,
is prepared to draw a "fighting
line" in Indochina, which would
embrace Laos, Cambodia, and part
of Vietnam. And if the Reds cross
that line, the United States would
be willing to fight. Smith left the
impression, however, that the Reds
would demand occupation of all
Vietnam-the wealthiest and most
populated part of Indochina-and
that the French would let them
get away with it.
Secretary Dulles spoke up dur-
ing one part of the briefing to say
that he "thought" India might join
an anti-Communist alliance if the
Reds tried to invade Laos and
Cambodia, because of India's cul-
tural and religious ties with these
two small states. But he quickly
added that he had no positive vi-
dence.
M e a n w h i 1 e, Undersecretary
Smith reported that the Chinese
Communists are already wooing
Laos and Cambodia. He left the
impression that, as soon as the
military offensive is halted, the
Reds would start a political offen-
sive with honeyed words and "sil-
ver bullets" to win over the rest
of Indochina.
Knowland Cross-Examines
Only senator who fired any real-
ly hot questions at Smith and Dul-
les was Knowland of California,
the Republican Senate lader. The
Democrats asked few questions
and there was no apparent desire
to embarrass the administration.
S e n a t o r Knowland, however,
questioned Smith rather sharply
as to where the final "fighting
line" will be drawn in Indochina.
If we draw a fighting line now,
and proclaim that we will fight at
that line, would we not draw an-
other line later, Knowland asked,
and then retreat still farther to
another line: Smith and Secretary
Dulles never gave him a direct
answer. They talked around in
circles.
Undersecretary Smith admitted
that we were getting next to no-
where with the Southeast Asia al-
liance. The key, he said, was In-
dia., and he indicated that England
was taking her cue from India.
The report was so gloomy that
Secretary Dulles flt compelld to
give a little cheery talk and try
to end the conference on an op-
timistic note.
"The Mendes-France government
more nearly expresses the will and
spirit of the French people," Mr.
Dulles beamed. He interpreted this
of the pro-American Laniel govern-
ment.
Dulles told the senators that the
Geneva conference which he once
described as the hope of the world
could not yet be judged a failure
because it wasn't over yet.
As the Congressional group 'filed
out, Congressman Vinson of Geor-
gia snorted: "Hogwash! Pure hog-
wash!"
He was so loud that the states-
men who had brewed the so-called
"hogwash" couldn't help but over-
hear,
He Judged Oppenheimer
Admiral Strauss could well have
been more careful about picking
the judges to pass on Dr. J. Rob-
ert Oppenheimer in the most im-
portant test of a top scientist in
the history of the nation.
It now develops that Strauss
picked as one of the three judges
a man whose company had once
exchanged valuable patents with
Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's
Italy before Pearl Harbor; who
also urged commercial links with
Soviet Russia; and who, when head
of another company, tried to send
airplanes to South America in vio-
lation of the laws of the United
States.
He is Tom Morgan, former head
of Sperry Gyroscope, who voted
that Dr. Oppenheimer, though loy-
al, was a poor security risk and
might leak information to potential
enemies.
Among the charges against Op-
penheimer was that he once had
Communist friends, though it was
stated that he had given no infor-
mation to Communists. However,
the New York Times of Nov. 23,
1934, reports that Tom Morgan was
a featured speaker at a dinner
honoring Peter Bogdanov, head of
the Russian Trading Corporation.
Bogdanov was returning to Russia,
and Mr. Morgan, with other New
York business leaders, met at a
big dinner to say goodbye and pay
him tribute. "Behind the speakers'
table," said the New York Times,"
.hung the red flag of Russia
with its crossed hammer and sick-
kle."
Morgan was then president of
the Curtiss-Wright Aviation Corp.
He was chairman of the Curtiss-
Wright board when, a few months
1 a t e r, March 30, 1935, Curtiss-
Wright tried to ship four bombers
to Bolivia, then engaged in the
Chaco War-in violation of the U.S.
Neutrality Act. As a result, Cur-
tiss-Wright was criminally posecut-
ed and fined $260,000, with two of
its subsidiary executives fined $11,-
000 each.

The Guatemalan struggle seems
now to have deteriorated into a
familiar pattern of Latin American
politics.
For the time being at least the
original objective of the Guatemal-
an army and the invading rebels
against the Communist-backed Ar-
benz regime has been accomplish-
ed, to the great satisfaction of the
United States, and now what seem-
ingly is a third force has entered
the contest for control of the coun-
try.
Everybody is calling everybody
else who doesn't support his fac-
tion a Communist. The real Com-
munists, pursuing the traditional
Lenin tactic, having run into a time
of setback, have retired to lick
their wounds and regroup.
First reports of the coup upon a
coup which ousted the new army
junta before it had time to turn
around suggested formation of a
faction in Guatemala City which
either represented invading rebels
under Col. Castillo Armas or could
come to terms with him for organ-
ization of the government.
Exact word of what was happen-
ing was lacking. The situation was
so vague that the Interamerican
Peace Commission first called off
its investigative trip from Wash-
ington and then called it on again.
Of first interest, of course, were
the reports that the latest group
in control at Guatemala City had
begun cease-fire negotiations with
Castillo Armas.
When that has been settled, the
next thing will be for the United
States, acting both diplomatically
and through the Organization of
American States, to see what can
be done to prevent the Guatemalan
Communists from repeating the in-
filtration of the government which
produced the present crisis.
Korean
Attitudes
IT IS WITH satisfaction that we
note a moderate and realistic
tone in the statements coming from
President Rhee and his Govern-
ment in Korea. They give an as-
surance that there will not be, at
this time, any unilateral Korean
action that might forfeit United
Nations support and jeopardize the
chance of a future settlement.
There is need for patience in Seoul
no less than here and one can ap-
plaud the long-suffering Koreans
for any evidence of that further
patience.
The Koreans made no secret
of the fact that they approached
the Geneva conference in an at-
titude of complete disillusion and
complete skepticism. They did not
expect the conference to produce
a just and honorable formula for
the unification of a free Korea,
and their judgment in this respect
-shared by many non-Koreans-
has been justified. The conference'
defined the issues and made it
plain that the Communists had no
wish for a free and united Korea.
It did not, and could not, go fa'rther
than that.
There is a suggestion in the news
dispatches that the present mod-
erate line that is being taken in
Seoul is linked in part to the re-
quest for further firm pledges of
military support. The Korean at-
titude toward that support seems
reasonable enough. The United
Nations, and the United States,
have been sponsors for the free
Government in the Republic of
Korea. That free Government is
still in danger, and for this reason
the renewed request for substan-
tial aid and substantial assuranc-
es should be received sympatheti-
cally in this country. It is in our
own interest that a free Korea be
defended. It is in the interest of
humanity that free Koreans be as-
sisted to rebuild their ravaged
country.
There will not be a quick and
easy solution in Korea. Geneva
showed that more plainly than
ever. So Korea must be patient
and we can assist to that end by
being sympathetic and continuingly
helpful.

M. MENDES-FRANCE is an in-
tellectual and as such is painfully
aware of the inevitable disparity
between thought and action, es-
pecially in politics. He seems to
believe it is easier to serve his
country as Mayor of the small town
of Louviers than as a member of
the National Assembly. He once
remarked that as Mayor he could
see real results of his labors-
better roads, schools, gas and
electrical installations-but that as
a Deputy about all he could take
credit for was a law about rabbits,
which, when passed, had quite
ceased to resemble what he had
proposed.

is not the best place to acquire
faith in the translation of ideas
into facts. France has perhaps an
over-supply of intellectuals, but in

lished merit of the group. Coward's play about a
divorced couple who never see eye to eye but who
manage to patch things up is the kind of show
which requires crispness and spirit, and the four
players selected to do it come very near to being
exactly what it needs.
The situation, briefly, involves two gaily emo-
tional people, Amanda and Elyot Chase, who meet
five years after their divorce while both are honey-
mooning with new spouses. They run off together,
leaving their most recent mates at a honeymoon
resort, and escape to Paris to find that they are as
incompatible as ever. The other couple cry on each
other's shoulders to the point of being a pair unto
themselves, and the whole thing ends in as neat a
package as it began.
Nancy Born, no stranger to Ann Arbor aud-
iences, portrays ultra-sophisticated Amanda with
dashes of Bette Davis and Tallulah Bankhead,
but is basically herself throughout the play. She
is a fine comedienne, and has shown it before.
She has the poise and timing necessary for her
role, and adds a rather fleshy slink that makes
outstanding) but she is able to make this un-
important by her excellent acting.'
Elyot Chase, Amanda's erstwhile husband, is
played by Ted Heusel, who also directs the produc-
tion. Mr. Heusel is a better director than actor, but
after the first act he warms up to his role until
he at least holds his own during the splenetic out-
bursts which comprise the major portion of the
dialogue between him and Amanda.
Florence Rupert is cast as Chase's second wife,
Sibyl, left waiting at the resort. She plays her
part well, and rarely falls into the fiery sophisti-
cation reserved for Amanda. Mrs. Rupert is given
the opportunity to show the widest range of
character within the play, and she takes full
advantage of it-even seems on the point of out-
Amanda-ing Miss Born in the explosion which
brings the show to a close.
Perhaps one of the funniest characters in this
production is Victor Prynne, Amanda's other hus-
band, as he is interpreted by Gene Rupert. Mr.
Rupert gives him all the elephant-hunting stuffi-
ness of a British sporting gentleman. One of the
best scenes in the play is the final argument be-
tween Prynne and Sibyl.
Technically the production fares just as well.
The set is imaginatively constructed and, al-
though it does not make the most of arena stag-
I.
