The stripping of the investigating powers Of Congress in the whole field of subversion is another of the byproducts of the distortions in which the Court has indulged. The denial of the right of the Federal C avernment to make itself free of security tisks in the socalled nonsensitive employment classifications totally disregards the gravest of national dangers. The shielding of deportable aliens against questions concerning their guilty associations makes the whole Nation defenseless against those who would destroy it. For utter idiocy. what is so far afield from judicial wisdom than the Courts interpretation that the Congress did not intend. in its enactment of the Smith Act. to prohibit the advocacy and teaching of the overthrow of the American Government by force and violence? Granting all the needs for the safeguards of traditional rights. the committee said the greater need still remains for turning back the enemies at our gates.
