'Fund for the Republic Interested In Investigating Probing of Reds By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON--The "fund for the republic" has been given a grant of $15,000,000 from the Ford Foundation "to support activities directed toward the etrictions elimination of freedom on re- of thought, inquiry and expression in the United States." But, judging from its annual report just issued, the "fund for the republic" is primarily interested in investigating the investigators the persons and i i tutions who recognize Com- con- has that a munist spiracy existed in the United States Lawrence Nowhere in and ists. the still ex- report is any mention of the most Serious restriction indeed, discrimination--practiced by the congress of the United States in prohibiting corporations and labor unibns from using their funds to engage in political discussions. Nor can corporations deduct for tax purposes any expenses they may incur to engage in political activity or political expression directly necessary to defend their companies from being wiped out by socialism j- or communism. The "fund for the republic," en the other hand, enjoys a tax-free status. It pays no income taxes at all on the income from the funds it has been granted.

Thus far it has spent only $2,514,738, while the balance of the $15,000,000 can be invested in securities and the income can be piled up without paying any taxes to the federal government. If foundations can engage in politics--and there is. no reason why they shouldn't--corporations and labor unions should enjoy the same right. Robert M. Hutchins, president of the fund, engages in the usual doubletalk about not taking sides.

He says: "The fund for the republic takes no position on these matters, beyond affirming its faith in the principles upon which our government is founded, as set forth in the Declaration of Independence end the Constitution. The fund does believe, however, that the American people, who must take a position on these matters, should pay attention to them and be adequately informed about them. The object of the fund is to help supply the requisite information." Then Mr. Hutchins not only proceeds to take sides but to make sure, so far as he can persuade others to follow him, that the public takes his particular side. He has no hesitancy in saying what he thinks the American people should believe.

Thus he declares: "A political party in this country has been identified with the Those associated with this party have therefore come under suspicion as an imminent danger to the state it has appeared that the peril to the country could be dealt with only by methods that drastically departed from those which have characterized Anglo-American jurisprudence." It could be assumed from this that the courts have stopped functioning and that the supreme court of the United States was departing from Anglo-Saxon principles when it said the state didn't have to wait for a conspiracy to be consummated but could act HI self-protection when there was a "clear and present danger." Mr. Hutchins seems to imply that the Communist party is a "political party" in the accepted sense and is entitled to rights as such. The Communists have long held that view. Yet the evidence shows that its members refuse to disclose all the facts about themselves and their membership. Neither Republicans nor Democrats refuse to answer about party affiliation and plead the Fifth amendment if the subject is under inquiry by congress.

Nor does either major party get help from any foreign government. Mr. Hutchins goes on to say: "The range of suspected persons has been enormously extended by resort to guilt by association. The evidence offered to show that a man is a danger to American institutions has often been farcically remote." If the fund for the republic is going to get a reputation for being fair and 'impartial, it ought to be able to prove that the principle of "guilt by association" has been abused in any court procedure where the suspected person has been convicted or acquitted and likewise ought to be able to state why the "evidence" offered to show that a man is a danger has "often" been "farcically remote." Where is the comprehensive showing of evidence and facts and cross-examination to bear out any such blanket verdict? As for "guilt by association" and its abuse, the late Robert H. Jackson, supreme court justice, Dealer and a onetime New Roosevelt appointee to the bench, had this to say in May 1950 in a concurring decision upholding the oath required of labor-union officers under the Taft-Hartley act: "The conspiracy principle has traditionally been employed against concerted action in violation of its laws.

No term passes that the court does not sustain convictions based on that doctrine for violations of the antitrust laws or other statutes. 'Guilt by association' is an epithet frequently used and little explained except that it is generally accompanied by another slogan, 'guilt is per- to protect society all 'ganging-up' or but in- Of course It is; personal guilt may be curred by joining a conspiracy. That act of association makes one responsible for of others committed in pursuance of the association." The fund for the republic, for some strange reason, didn't include the Jackson declaration in its statement about the "requisite information" it was furnishing so that the American people could be "adequately informed."

Wtukerfu Daily Fraeouif Wednetday, AuguH 24, 1955 Stress Need of H-Bomb Work WASHINGTON W-- members of the senate-house atomic energy committee are urging the atomic energy commission to speed work on harnessing the H-bonib peaceful purposes.

Anderson (D-NM), committee chairman, and Rep. Price (D-I11), head of its research and development subcommittee, said Tuesday they believe the a atoms for peace conference should give impetus to this project. They were part of a corn- committee delegation which returned Tuesday from the conference. Anderson said, "We know we are in a race for this type of development," and added there were clear indications at Geneva that Russia, Great Britain and India also were working at the problem. He said "only a handful" of American scientists are assigned to this research.

He suggested the number be increased. Price said the announcement of hitherto secret programs looking toward a controlled thermonuclear hydrogen reaction was "the most important event" at the Geneva meeting. "The mere fact that this American program has been declassified should speed up research on it," he said, adding it had been so deeply secret many AEC scientists did not even know of it. However, R'ep. Hinshaw (R- Calif), another committee member who was at Geneva, said he felt U.S.

progress on this work had been "as fast as could be expected" considering the extreme difficulties. AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss disclosed at Geneva that this country had been engaged in a "moderate program" of research in harnessing the H-bomb and had made some progess. Anderson, Price and Hinshaw agreed that the Geneva parley had shown Russia is not ahead of the United States in peacetime development of the atom. Rep.

Holifield (D Calif), another committee member who attended the Geneva meeting, said the first impression is that American scientists learned nothing new from a multitude of papers presented at the meeting but that Russian experts probably acquired fresh technical data. He said the United States gave away more hitherto secret nuclear information than any other nation at the meeting. He added it is too early to determine whether this country gave away too much. Waukesha Symphony to Perform in Milwaukee The Waukesha Symphony Orchestra will open its coming season November 22, with the most demanding assignment it has ever assumed -Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. On November 23, the night following the Waukesha performance of the Ninth, the orchestra will repeat the performance at the Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee.

This will be the first time the orchestra has appeared before a Milwaukee audience. The Ninth Symphony, which has been called "the greatest manifestation of the human mind," has not been performed in this area since the Chicago Symphony performed it in Milwaukee in 1940, with the Arion singers of Milwaukee providing' the chorus. When the Waukesha Symphony performs the great work in November, the Milwaukee A Capella Choristers will provide the chorus. This group of singers, founded in 1933, has been directed by Donald Mohr since 1946. Four soloists are required for the symphony, and a quartet of nationally famous singers has been engaged for both the Waukesha and Milwaukee Lois Marshall one of the finest voices of our time, who has earned a rare "bravissima" from Toscanini, and who was soloist this summer at the Peninsula Festival in Door County, under Thor Johnson-; Alto Rosemary Kuhlmann who created the role of the Mother in "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and played in "The Saint of Bleecker Street" on TV and on Broadway; Wesley Dalton a member of the New York City Center Opera Co; and Donald Gramm, the Milwaukee baritone who sang in the Ninth symphony in Ravinia this summer under Monteux and again at the Berkshire Festival under Munch a few weeks ago.

Probably no other city in the United States (or even in Europe) with a population under 25,000 has ever presented the Ninth Symphony. Waukesha is likewise unique in having its orchestra play every one of the Beethoven symphonies. When the orchestra gave its first concert, less than a decade ago, ven's First Symphony was the major work offered. In this, its ninth season, the Ninth Symphony will be offered, with a galaxy of distinguished soloists. Over the intervening years every other Beethoven symphony has been performed (some of them more than once.) Rehearsals for the new season, 1955-56 and the important November performance of the Ninth will begin early in September.

Rosemary Kuhlmann Frown Upon Diving Priest CHICAGO The Roman Catholic archdiocese of Chicago has objected to a French priest's plan to raise money for his parish by giving high diving exhibitions. The Rev. Robert Simon, who made 35 110-foot dives at water shows in Europe, expressed surprise at the Chicago church's decision in an interview Tuesday night. In Europe, he said, no one objected. His exhibitions in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Morocco provided funds to rebuild his church at Saone, France, build a dispensary and finance two local industries for his parishioners.

Father Simon, 42, arrived in Chicago a week ago, seeking money to help pay for a cooperative housing project in his parish. He hoped to raise enough money for the villagers' share in constructing their own homes under a French government program. The parish loaned him his plane fare. "I did not expect any difficulty," he said. "I asked for permission from the church authorities and was refused.

I won't push the matter here. Maybe I undertook it in the wrong way." Doesn't Like Shorts KERNERSVILLE, N. C. UP) The Rev. P.

Ellender (D-La) plans to ask congress to send a group of senators and representatives on a tour of the Union. He said it would promote understanding like the trip of American farmers to Russia this summer.

Interviewed Tuesday night at a party given by the Romanian Embassy, EUender, who is visiting here, said the "interchange of Russian and American farmers the best thing yet for international understanding. "The next thing should be sending over here a joint congressional committee really to see this country." also said: "I am not convinced everything here is right, but if people actually saw countries like the Soviet Union, Poland and others they would see things in a different light." Then he added: "I may be dreaming when I say this." There was a series of questions from an American reporter. "Do you conside.r that these! Soviet people are a threat to the United States?" asked. His reply: "No doubt about it, no question about it. But this is what I knew before I came abroad." "Can we trust these Russian people?" Ellender's answer: "I don't know." "Can we get to the point where we can trust them?" "I think we can.

It can't be done today or tomorrow. It will be a long pull. We have to exchange people and visits and we can do it." Expanding on this, he said, "We have got to come to an understanding with them." One reporter asked, "What would Sen. McCarthy say if he could see and hear you here tonight?" Ellender snapped, "I don't know and I don't give a damn." Bleed to Death ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
