Arbitrary and unclear restrictions on civil liberties in this country reflect a lessening of faith in democracy and tarnish the image of the U.S. Government.
Restrictions on Civil Liberties Harmful to U.S.
By Karl Koch
This is the thesis of Donald McCoy, associate professor of history, who spoke yesterday at the Faculty Forum.
OUR JUDICIARY'S SYSTEM OF using the criteria of "clear and present danger" or "a bad tendency" as a basis for ruling on subversion and treason are part of the "chipping away at the civil liberties of everyone." Prof. McCov said.
He asserted that these two criteria allow a court to say in essence, "He looks bad to me; we'd better throw him in jail."
Indefinite standards for determining violations of legislative acts have led to a "violation of the spirit and letter of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution," he said.
AS EXAMPLES, Prof. McCoy listed the Smith Act of 1940 against groups advocating violent overthrow of the government; investigations of legislative committees which do not have clear objectives, and state loyalty oaths for civil service jobs.
He cited the Registration Act of 1951 (which provides for registering of Communists) as one of the unclear acts which corrode civil liberty. He also mentioned the rounding up of aliens in World War II and the "infamous" Japanese relocation camps.
THUS, LABELS LIKE "right" or "left" or "radical" don't make a great deal of difference.
Prof. McCoy said that all major political movements have contributed to restrictions on civil liberties. He added that these same movements have at times contributed to the defense of civil liberties.

"They overlap into commonly shared impulses." Prof. McCoy said.
Regardless of who pushes the purported legislation to protect the government, "it is not applied equally across the board. When this legislation is used only against certain groups, it shouldn't be on the books," he said.

A lack of faith in democracy causes the profuse legislation attempting to protect it.
"Beware not of the extreme right and left, but beware of ourselves and our lack of faith in liberty and democracy." Prof. McCoy warned.

LOS ANGELES - (UPI)—Americans should be allowed to witness nuclear tests so they will understand what could happen during a nuclear holocaust, a high Red Cross official believes.
US Must See Bomb Tests
Frank B. Ellis, director of the office of emergency planning, said that the government hopes to begin mass distribution before January 1 of two pamphlets giving information about nuclear war and fallout protection.
Robert F. Shea, national vice president of the Red Cross, told delegates to the 10th annual U.S. Civil Defense Council Conference yesterday that a ringside seat at such tests might make people realize that "fear of fear itself" is an important factor in human behavior.
In other remarks at the conference, the nation's top civil defense official said the federal government has not committed itself to one type of shelter but has set up standards for shelter construction.
"By watching tests, the American people would not only realize what they would have to face, but the mysterious aspect of the explosion itself would disappear and people would be able to see the situation more realistically," Shea said.

Local Weather Will Determine Fallout Extent
How much radioactive fallout Lawrence will receive from Russia's explosion of a huge bomb Monday will be determined by weather conditions here. Frank E. Hoecker, professor of radiation biophysics, said yesterday.
"If we have a rain or a snow we could have a heavy fallout." Prof. Hoecker said. "But the effects, if there are any, will persist over some time."
THE RADIATION Biophysics department, which conducts measurement of fallout here, will know by Thursday or Friday just what effect the Russian blast will cause, Prof. Hoecker said.
"It will take several days before
the radioactive cloud gets here," he said.
Prior to the Russian blast fallout had maintained an average level of about seven or eight micro-micro-curies per cubic meter of air. The latest reading was 1.34. On Oct. 17 the reading was 21.24 micro-micro-curies per cubic meter of air.
SINCE THE RESUMPTION of nuclear tests by the Soviet Union Sept. 1, the radioactive fallout here has increased four or five times, Prof. Hoecker said.
The type of fallout Lawrence will get from the Russian test will be essentially the same material as recorded from previous Soviet testing, Prof. Hoecker continued.
