Spy Inquiry Should Not Ask
Rejection of U. S. Constitution
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.
WASHINGTON.—When a man has a strong constitution he
doesn’t have to think much about it.
It works about the same with a nation. Especially when both are
young and vigorous. But as they get more mature, they may discover
a few organs here and there which have to be mended or a few articles
that have to be amended just because of a changing environment.
In any case it isn’t a good idea
to lock your constitution up and
never take it out and dust it off and
see if it is still there.
This is the month when what Ben
Franklin referred to as “the
Baukhage
'
grossed it was signed by all but
Gov. Edmund Randolph and Col.
George Mason of Virginia and
Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts.
“The business being thus
closed,” as Washington ,wrote in
his diary, “the members ad¬
journed to the City Tavern, dined
together and took a cordial leave
of each other . .
Many people at the time thought
the Constitution was pretty good as
it was, and yet the part which is
probably most familiar to the pres¬
ent generation is the part which
our founding fathers recognized as
the first thing lacking in the orig¬
inal draft—the first amendment:
“Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion or prohibiting the free ex¬
ercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the
press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a
redress of grievances.”
This amendment and the nine
which followed, making up the Bill
of Rights, were all introduced in
the first congress, as the Beards
in their “Basic History of the Unit¬
ed States” put it, “in response to
a popular demand” but involving
“no alteration in the form of gov¬
ernment.” Congress passed the Bill
of Rights on to the states, which, in
convention, ratified them in 1791,
Establishment of these funda¬
mental rights, says Carl Van Dor
en in “The Great Rehearsal,” may
be regarded as the “contribution of
the people” to the Constitution.
They represent the crystallization
of those desires for human dignity
in the souls of civilized men—de¬
sires which reveal his innate pos¬
session of a spirituality that dif¬
ferentiates him from the beasts.
The maintenance of those
rights, as .opposed to the attain¬
ment and safeguarding of purely
material possessions, has brought
about the clash of ideologies
which threatens a crisis in the
world today.
Spy Probe
Presses Point
During the spy-ring investigations
by the house un-American activities
committee, there was much talk
about the violation of the Bill of
Rights, The President himself, when
asked a categorical question on that
subject, said he believed that this
committee had, in the course of its
hearings, infringed these rights. He
did not specify which of the rights
had been infringed but from his pre¬
vious expressions it would seem he
was referring to the fifth amend¬
ment which says in part:
“No person shall be held to an¬
swer for a capital, or otherwise in¬
famous crime, unless on a present¬
ment or indictment of a grand
jury. ...”
The President said some of the
testimony made public had done
irreparable harm to certain per¬
sons, had slandered a lot of people
who didn’t deserve it.
He explained that all the evidence
of alleged guilt concerning these
persons had already been presented
to the grand jury and that the
grand jury had not considered it
sufficient grounds for indictment.
The jury, protecting the rights of
the individual, had not made the
names public. But the un-Ameri¬
can activities committee, present¬
ing the same evidence, had made
the names public and in so doing
had, according to the implication
of the President, infringed the Bill
of Rights.
From the mail I get and the tele¬
phone calls I receive, I know that
many people disagree with the
criticisms of the committee, fully
approving of its actions.
These people, I am sure, do not
believe in the infringement of
anyone’s constitutional rights.
They believe in the American
legal principle that a person is
innocent until he is proved guilty.
But they appear to have con¬

victed the accused in their own
minds, feel they are guilty, and
also have the feeling that anyone
who objects to what the com¬
mittee has done is guilty of tak¬
ing sides with a traitorous per¬
son and, therefore, is himself in¬
directly guilty of treason.*
Before me I have a letter. It is
written in good English, emotional
it is true, but obviously from ah
intelligent and educated person. It
says in part:
“Why not be fair in your broad¬
casts? It is scandalous and near
criminal to murder a man’s repu¬
tation on mere suspicion as is
being done by certain commit¬
tees investigating communism..
So far so good. With that start I
expected a strong defense of the
Bill of Rights to follow. But no in¬
deed! Listen to this “but”—
“You know perfectly well the
necessity of the publicity against
communism because there is no
other way to arouse the electo¬
rate. You know there are Bene¬
dict Arnolds by the score in the
administration’s set up.”
Wait a minute! Is it necessary to
violate the Constitution to arouse
the electorate? If you believe that,
you believe in revolution. It’s revo¬
lution if you do not use legal means
in exercising your right to change
the Constitution. But do you want to
change the Constitution so the Bill
of Rights is infringed? Not if you
really mean what you say in the
first paragraph of your letter.
Who’s Selling U. S.
Down the River?
As to whether there are “Bene¬
dict Arnolds” in the government, I
have no doubt there may be for¬
eign spies in the government, and
I would be in favor of dealing with
them much more drastically than
persent laws permit. I hope strong¬
er laws will be drafted. So does
congress. The department of jus¬
tice has been working on such a
law for some time. But to say the
government is full of traitors is
either utter nonsense or else the
FBI is a lot of morons. Now let’s
read further from my listener’s
letter:
“Canada has officials in their
government who are loyal to the
country and cleared out the rats
on their own initiative. We have
men who are selling us down the
river night and day.”
Well, as to Canada, no one was
publicly accused until the court
had decided there was legal proof
of his guilt. The names of those who
had been accused and declared in¬
nocent never were revealed.
As to men “selling us down the
river night and day,” I will take
the word of General Eisenhower if,
in a political year the President’s
word can’t be taken. The general
said: “This country keeps its major
secrets pretty well.”
Now the writer of this letter is
obviously sincere, believes, accord¬
ing to his own word, in the fifth
amendment, on both legal and
moral grounds. Yet on the same
page, speaking with natural but il¬
logical indignation he asks that the
Bill of Rights be abrogated.
I understand this psychologically.
I have found myself privately con¬
victing at least one of the persons
who was accused by a witness be¬
fore the un-American activities
committee although I know that in¬
vestigation by the FBI and hearings
by the grand jury failed to find
this person guilty. Perhaps more
evidence will be introduced with
which the accused can be convicted
under the law, but as long as we
pretend to be loyal Americans, we
have to hold our tempers and with¬
hold our judgments.
Perhaps before forming opin¬
ions on this subject, certainly be¬
fore expressing them, instead of
just counting 10, it might be well
to count the 10 amendments com¬
posing the Bill of Rights and
while counting, read them over
carefully.
And maybe, as a birthday pres¬
ent to the Constitution which has
given us the best government we
know about, read the rest of the
document over, too. If enough peo¬
ple did that, there might be a hap¬
pier birthday all around.

Political Kettle Boils
T'HE long-simmering political ket
A tie has reached the boiling point.
On the national stage, the cooking
started when Harry Truman and
Thomas Dewey formally squared off
before Labor Day audiences. Simul¬
taneously, a number of equally ex¬
iting and significant state contests
svere joined. local
To the smart politicoes, these
battles are second in importance
only to the “big top” melee. For
the politicoes know that what hap¬
pens in these state arenas will pro¬
foundly affect not only the national
contest but also the shape of things
afterward.
The control of congress, of
powerful organizations in key
states, and in the event Mr.
Truman loses, of the national
Democratic machinery, are at
stake in these tests.
Intensifying the concern of the po¬
litical generalissimos are two fac¬
tors: The great body of “undecided”
voters, manifest in every important
poll; and the spectacular upset of
Memphis Boss Crump by crusading
Rep. Estes Kefauver. To the profes¬
sional politicoes, these two items
spell uncertainty. Anything can hap¬
pen. The general public is itchy and
new and fresher-sounding voices
have a strong appeal.
Bank Surprise
High-ranking officers are in for
a surprise when the report of
the advisory commission on serv¬
ice pay is published.
The commission will recom¬
mend increases for enlisted men
and junior officers, but none for
the top grades. In fact, they ac¬
tually may face a pay cut in the
recommended elimination of tax
deductions and certain allow¬
ances.
A previous committee of gen¬
erals and admirals had recom¬
mended pay boosts for all ranks,
with the top echelons getting the
biggest increases. Defense Secre¬
tary Forrestal didn’t even both¬
er to send this report to con¬
gress. Instead he appointed the
civilian commission to make a
new study.
Shipping Ban Violated
The U. S. still is shipping vital
war material to countries behind
the iron curtain. v
And these shipments still are be¬
ing made with approval of the com¬
merce department’s office of inter¬
national trade. This is the agency
that formerly was headed by Wil¬
liam Remington, leading figure in
the Russian “spy” disclosures of
the house un-American activities
committee.
This astounding trade still is
going on despite the administra¬
tion’s announced policy of ban¬
ning it, despite the warlike ag¬
gressions and provocations of
Russia and also despite the
world-wide furor over the con¬
gressional revelations and their
attending fantastic ramifica¬
tions.
This column definitely has es¬
tablished the following facts re¬
garding the continued export of war
potentials to Communist-ruled coun¬
tries :
The OIT has secretly issued a li¬
cense for export of a large quan¬
tity of ball bearings and steel balls
(for the manufacture of bearings)
to Czechoslovakia. This license was
issued to the Overseas Mercantile
company, N. Y.
Satellite Czechoslovakia is today
one of Russia’s major munitions
producers. The great Skoda plant
has been converted entirely to mil¬
itary output.
Further, ball bearings are a key
essential in the making of war
goods. Two of the most costly air
force raids into Germany during
the recent war were for the pur¬
pose of knocking out ball-bearing
plants.
An official of the Overseas Mer¬
cantile company admitted that the
ball bearings being shipped to
Czechoslovakia could be used in waj
preparations.

Eye Poppers in Budget
Preliminary budget estimates
submitted by the army and navy
for next year are eye-poppers.
The two services are asking foi
approximately five billion dollars
more than the 16 billion dollars
congress voted them this year. Ths
navy wants more than 11 billion
dollars and the army more than
10 billion dollars.
This stupendous 21 billion dol¬
lar total does not include air
force estimates. They are still
to come and are sure to be not
less than 7 billion dollars.
The 1949 budget is already ir
preparation. It will be submitted
to the new congress in January by
President Truman, whether he is
re-elected or not. If they win, G.O.P
leaders privately are planning tc
demand a voice in preparation oi
the budget.
