Better Late Than Never When Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin was pressing his charges of Communism in got eminent many responsible men in and out of Congress urged that the inquiry be transferred from a Senate committee to an independent non partisan commission Many months later President Truman has now created such a commission a nine member board to be headed by Adm Chester Nimitz The delay is not surpris ing since the President seldom yields to pressure demands while the heat is on The American concerned for the safety of his country and the inviolability of his rights surely may wish his commission had been at Work long ago or much damage has been done in recent years by reckless ill founded charges against individuals And one can only guess at the undermining of security hich may be taking place constantly as result of our ineffective hceks on spying and subversion Mr grant of authority to the new commission appears broad enough to enable it to do a competent job The group to be composed of qualified educators lawyers and others with exper ience in security and civil rights will can vass nil our laws against treason egc sabotage and other matters affecting internal security Where they are not ade quate the commission is called upon to recommend new laws to give us proper protection Had such a study boon made a year or two back Congress could have acted to combat subversion much more wisely than it seems to have done in the Anti subver sion act sponsored by Senator McCarran and others The commission also will examine the security and loyalty pro grams to measure their value and fairness Here the group will be invading the field explored so vigorously last year by Mc Carthy To do its chore thoroughly Mr Truman will allow the commission to delve into individual case files held secret by loyally and security officials Since the members presumably will be high minded patriotic citizens their re port on this phase of security may well prove to be the final definitive one on the extent of disloyalty and espionage in government departments It is significant too that their work is not to be one sided Security means rctric tions and restrictions impinge upon per: sonal liberties We must strive always to maintain the necessary balance between security and freedom if we are not to lose our reason for fighting tyranny The commission is asked to consider the need for individuals from un warranted attacks and unwarranted' in fringement of their rights and liberties in tb name of No group of Americans ever had a more delicate task than guiding us toward an attainment of that vital balance May it undertake its work completely sensible of its heavy responsibilities Others Say EXPANDING ENGINEERING TRAINING Alfred Sloan has made another gift to Massa chusetts Institute of Technology the nation's greater engineering school He will make avail able $5250000 for a new School of Industrial Management Part of the grant will he used to purchase the former headquarters in Cambridge of Lever Broth ers company near the main building There beginning in the autumn of 1052 will be Offered a program designed to prepare young men to the fullest possible extent for the complex de mands of modern industry Many men have succeeded as manager of indus try without formal training and many engineers equipped only with a scientific education have achieved distinction as executives But learning by experience takes time In contrast with the great university schools for preparing managers of business enterprises no en gineering college has had the facilties for teaching industrial management on the comprehensive scale which the Sloan grant coptemplates Dr Karl Kompton MIT chairman in announc ing the gift recalled that industrial 'Management has been described as America's powerful secret This is not an overstatement The United States has been pre eminent in this field But production miracles have multiplied produc tion problems to the point where industry must have engineers with management training and managers with engineering training Helena Independent Record EISENHOWER ONCE A HERO TO THE REDS NOW A HEEL The Communist newspapers on both sides of the iron curtain are putting on an all out propaganda drive Gen Dwight Eisenhower who is in Europe to survey the possibilities of raising an army to resist the spread of communism General Eisenhower once was decorated by the Soviet government and he was widely praised in Soviet newspapers for his brave leadership during World War II But all this has been forgotten Communist papers in Paris in eastern Europe and in Moscow are assailing him in the bitterest terms rench Communists are circulating petitions against him and trying to work up protest strikes The first blasts were printed just before Christ mas when the Soviet youth newspaper in Moscow and the Literary Gazette there assailed him as "a true serf of Wall and sergeant major of Wall The Cominform weekly printed in Bucharest called him a Now papers in Prague and Paris have taken up the cudgels The trade union paper Prace in Prague called him a of The rench Communist organ began its campaign by

wounded in the Korean fighting says he saw the bullet in the instant before it hit him in the chest and as it came out his back His expla nation is that sunlight struck the bullet and gave it a split second refleeion of light just before he was struck The force of the bullet spun him around so that he saw the bullet hit a rock behind him splattering blood Captain Grucnther is expected to recover

A bill increasing the pay of Montana legislators to a flat $1000 a year instead of the present $10 a day during sessions has been introduced by Rep Leo Graybill of Great alls Since the 1951 legislative leaders are economy minded because of the heavy drain that is to be caused by much higher federal taxes the measure will probably be defeated And economy is needed at this time However there is sound reason for an increase in legislative pay Our stale senators and representatives pos sibly get by on the present $10 a day they receive while in Helena so they serve us at a considerable sacrifice Also though they are busiest during the legis lative session theirs to a lesser extent is a year around job as they ere being called on from time to time during the entire 12 months to serve the people in many ways Maybe this the year to consider it but legislators do deserve more money This is espe cially true in Montana where they are near the bottom of the list so far as pay is concerned Lewistown News Q's and A's What part of the United States is popularly called Egypt?
