House Study of Foundations Starting on Shaky Ground It may surprise some people to learn there is more than one investigation un der way in Congress these days, but it is a fact.

And one of by Rep. Carroll Reece of Tennessee, seems to have gotten off to a very unpromising start. Reece heads a special House set up last summer to study operation of the nation's tax-free educaion- al and philanthropic foundations. Since then the committee staff has in research in preparation for the public hearings currently in progress. This is the second time the foundations have been examined in the past two years.

In 1952 a committee headed by the late Representative Cox of Georgia eyed these organizations suspiciously but concluded by urging that there be more of them. Reece disapproved of the verdict, and served notice of intent to reopen the inquiry. It was natural that when Reece proposed a new committee he would voice doubts about the wisdom of foundation programs and policies. Without some such complaint, he could hardly hope to win his point that a fresh look was required. As it turned out, however, Reece went to extremes, suggesting the foundations were in a "diabolical conspiracy" to further socialism in the United States.

What is even more astonishing, his staff research director, Norman Dodd, has led off the new hearings by presenting publicly a staff report which offers "tentative conclusions" before any open testimony has been taken. If any committee has ever previously restored to this baffling tactic, it escapes memory. One would imagine that, as with most committees, the preliminary staff report would be for the priyate guidance of the inquiring lawmakers, to enable them to direct the public questioning pointedly. Dodd did not rest with that. He stated conclusions which, though often couched in fuzzy language, appeared to support in a general way Chairman Recce's "indicment" of last summer.

He suggested that the foundations, in financing educational, social and other experiments, were operating in violation of "public interest." A umpk: "ft latins incredible that the trui- of typically American, fortune- craaUd foundations should hava permitted them to be used to finance idaaa and practices incompatible with tha fundamental concapti of our is he enlarged his approach Dodd disclosed that it is perhaps the mere fact of social change in the past 50 years that may be troubling him. The country's outlook has altered markedly toward wider acceptance of internationalism and of a magnified role for government in domestic affairs. Dodd complained the foundations have both "taken advantage" of this change and contributed to it. Is he thereby suggesting they should have helped instead to freeze the nation's thought and action in the patterns of the past? In a country proud of constant change, is some sort of sin. And it may be even harder to show that foundations like Carnegie, Rockefeller and Ford, which have poured out copious funds to advance our understanding and our welfare, are engaged in a devilish and subversive plot against the American people.

Senator Hoey The late Sen. Clyde Hoey, North Carolina Democrat, won deserved plaudits for the fairness and vigor with which he pursued his investigative chores in the Senate. It was he who headed the Senate Investigating Committee when it dug into the "five precenter" scandals a few years back. Though a loyal party supporter, he did not hesitate to plow up dirt against a Democratic regime. At the same time, he kept his inquiry within constitutional bounds, never trying to invade the prerogatives of the Executive Branch, In fact, he upheld them.

A story book senator who was the very picture of the courtly southern gentleman, he will be missed for the contribution he made to orderly, vigilant government. Views of Others Let Arguing Wax Hot Boys and girls of today seem to be runniing smack into a problem that has plagued boys and girls, and men and women; since the dawn of time. The problem is how to argue without getting mad. Nearly half of 1,000 youths answering a questionnaire sent out by the Young Women's Christian Association listed the matter of angry arguing as one of their prime problems of citizenship. They wanted to know what to do about their tempers.

We doubt that the YWCA can supply a formula-like answer for the young people. We know we can't. We would say only this: Every individual, young or old, eventually to the realization that while all of us are much alike, we are also much different. That is, no two people ever see anything eye to eye. If the two people, witnessing the same incident can not go into court and testify to it exactly the same way, then it should be easy to see how much more difficult it is for two people to see abstract principles or philosophical topics exactly alike.

Every young person should learn early that what may appear to be completely logical to him may seem absurd to a rriend. And, following that, he should learn that it is possible for people to remain friends even though they disagree on many things. Friendship probably would be rather dull if no animated discussions ever developed, just as marriage would be dull without a husband-and-wife argument now and then. Our world is interesting because of its contrasts, not because of its similarities. Comformity is for dictator countries, not democracies.

Americans pride themselves on getting along together, despite their individual differences. Nobody tells us we must think alike, worship alike, or part our hair alike. Nor does anyone say we must argue alike. Fret about something else, kids. These arguments of yours are they are good.

Now Then, All Together Erskine Johnson IN HOLLYWOOD HOLLYWOOD the Screens: Theater lobby sign reading "Audiences Will Please Refrain From Looking Incredu lous" may be necessary when a filmusical titled "The Girl to be filmed this summer in Las Vegas, opens at the theaters. The Rosalind Russell movie fans don't-know a singing, dancing clowning Rosalind Russell will be the star. Even Rosalind, the screen's "Sister Kenny," and the maniacal murderess of "Mourning Becomes Electra," 'is amazed about it despite 503 performances as a musical comedy queen in Broadway's smash footlight hit, "Wonderful Town." Back in Hollywood for the first time in three years, Roz confided "I sing like a crow with a throat condition. Doing a musical show was as remote to me as swimming the English Channel.

The first- night audience was surprised. You know something? I'm still surprised." How did it happen? As she tells it: I'm always raedy'for a performance at a party. I'm the bore of ail time.

government in particular, and the American people in general, to put up with the disgraceful Army-McCarthy proceedings much longer will require national fortitude of -the highest order. This is a real test of democracy. If it can take this punishment, it can survive anything the world has to offer including Russian H- jombs. This Started out to be a simple investigation by a Senate committee of the charge that undue influence was used by Senator McCarthy and his staff to get an Army commission for G. David Schine, now a drafted police private.

It has since been inflated beyond recognition. Instead of a mere countercharge that Secretary of the Army ert T. Stevens had tried to use the Schine case as blackmail to prevent an investigation of communism at Port Monmouth, N. Senator McCarthy has now broadened his charges to include defiance of President Eisenhower, Attorney General Herbert Brownell and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

This situation has developed from the utterly fantastic conditions under which this probe was set up. There never was any "trial" as Committee Counsel Ray M. Jenkins sometimes calls this. Get the picture: This is probably the only case in legal history in which two conflicting sets of charges were tried at the same time. Each of the plaintiffs is thus also a defendant.

The Senate is also acting as the judges and as prosecuting attorneys. Senator McCarthy, one of the plaintiff-defendants, also sit with the judges and jury when they retire to chambers for consultation or closed deliberations on new issues brought up in the trial. Senator McCarthy also acts interchangeably as witness, prosecuting and defense attorney. Counsel Jenkins, supposed to be acting as prosecuting attorney for both sides in presenting this case to the judges-jury, also advises the chief justice and foreman of the the rulings and interpretations of law he should make. Roy Conn, counsel for Senator McCarthy, is also a cbdefendant in the charges filed' by Secretary Stevens et al.

John Adams, one of the secretary's counsel, is also a codefendant in the charges filed by Senator McCarthy. And as if this situation isn't cockeyed enough, it is further complicated by the ability of Senator McCarthy to change his complaint and enlarge his charges as the trial goes on. It would be impossible for any group of if they had all the wisdom possessed by chief justices of the U. S. Supreme Court from John Marshall to Charles Evans come to any clear decision under these crazy circumstances.

This was obvious at the beginning to several senators who tried to sidetrack the whole proceeding. They were convinced that the investigation would prove nothing and accomplish nothing. But they were not listened to. The honorable committee is now so wound up in its own red tape that it doesn't know how to get out of its predicament. At least five serious attempts end he hearings have bogged down.

There is, perhaps, one as ye untried means to bring this sorry scandal to an end. This is for President Eisenhower himself to call in all parties concerned and demand a quick settlement. He might even dictate something drastic: Send Private Schine to the most remote Army base on the map. Ask both Conn and Adams to resign. Dismiss both sets of charges without- prejudice and without recourse.

And then get on with the business of government. President Eisenhower started to get mad about this situation at his press conference on April 28. A week later he apologized and said he might bar further questions. However, since then he has given some pretty pointed answers to press conference questions. It is only fair to wonder, however, what General of the Armies Dwigbt D.

Eisenhower would have done if his wartime staff at Supreme Headquarters, Allied Forces in Europe, had started quarreling among themselves. General Eisenhower did not hesitate to take disciplinary action against the late Gen. George S. Patton when he slapped an Army private in a hospital tent in Sicily.

Sunday School Lesson- Written for NEA Service In the Israel of long ago there were good kings and evil kings, I think the evil kings were in the majority. And some who began well, even like Solomon, turned out bad. And prophets loomed large in the life of the times. But some were false prophets, as opposed to the true prophets, men of God, who farlessly spoke as they believed and had honest vision.

Kings feared the truj prophets, and even the powerful King Jeroboam sent his wife in disguise to sound out the prophet the King's son was sick (I Kings 14). The power that true prophets exercised led false prophets to prophesies for their own aggrandizement or gain. Here was the difference: The true prophets was as honest as they were fearless, disdaining alike honor and reward. They believed that the Lord revealed certain things to them, and they were concerned only to speak truthfully what they believed to be the word of God (I Kings Elijah and his successor, Elisha, were the greatest prophets of the time, but there were other prophets of the same period who were equally honest, unselfseeking, and sincere. Among these were Ahijah, who prophesied the rise to kingly power, and the downfall, of Jeroboam (I Kings and and Jehu, a prophet in the Kingdom of Judah, to whom references are made in I Kings 16:1, and in Chronicles 19:2, and 20; 34.

And there was Micaiah, a prophet of Israel, who appears in I Kings 22, and the almost identical chapter in Chronicles 18. But if the record concerning Micaiah, is scant, in what a coble! light he appears! King Ahab hated him because his prophecies art pteMing, aod tot waatrt to Ua- ten to 400 pleasant prophets, who assured him of victory against the Syrians. But Jehosophat, his ally, King of Judah, wanted truth instead of the words of prophets who seern only anxious to please, so Ahab has to call Micaiah. Standing against the false 400, Micaiah seemed at first to agree with them, apparently mocking the King. Then Micaiah gave the Kings the "what the Lord-saith," which only he would speak, Though prison awaited him his prophecy was of plain defeat and the scattering of the army of Israel in a battle in which Ahab was mortally wounded, though Jehosophat escaped.
