Rebels Plan
Own Regime
In Lebanon
Blasts and Shots
Cause Beirut to
Close Tightly
BEIRUT. Lebanon, June 10
l/P). —A member of the national
front oppoetUon group disclosed
today that Lebanese opposition
loaders are discussing forma
tion of a rebel government as
a rival to the regime of Presi
dent Camille Chamoun. The
informant told reporters no
decision had been finally
reached.
Meanwhile, a series of ex
plosions amid sporadic shooting
shook Beirut today as Lett
anon’s capital closed down
tighter than at any time since
the general strike began 37
days ago.
No pitched battles were re
ported in this city. However,
after a violent week end the
imputation is intimidated and
scattered disturbances fright
ened most people off the streets.
Shops closed in districts
normally quiet. Offices which
had maintained business as
usual were closing and sending
their employes home. In some
districts no sign of life was
visible. Even private residences,
were tightly shuttered.
Blast Near University
During the morning a bomb
exploded near the American
University, and another wept
off near the Finance Ministry.
An outbreak of shooting was
reported from the Moslem
quarter where followers of
Rebel Leader Saeb Salam hold
the area.
Over the entire city hung an
atmosphere of tension as though
the population expected a ma
jor new outbreak. In everyone's
mind was the possibility of
religious civil war In a nation j
half Moslem and half Christian.
While Moslem bands con
trolled one sector of the city
Christians armed with machine
guns and rifles patrolled the
streets of the port region.
This was the Lebanese atmos
phere as the country awaited

Ruling Bars Refusal
Os Passports for Reds
State Department Lacks Authority,
54 Supreme Court Decision Says
* By HOWARD L. DUTKIN
Slav Was Writer
The Supreme Court today held that the Secretary of
State is fiSt authorised to withhold a passport because he
believes the applicant may be a Communist. *
The ruling came in the case of Artist Rockwell Kent and
Dr. Briehl, a Los Angeles psychiatrist. Both had refused to
sign affidavits that they have
never been members of the
Communist Party.
Today’s opinion, in which
the court divided 5-4, held the
men were entitled to passport*.
It strikes out the affidavit re
quirement.
The court majority, while
citing the constitutional right
of cltlsens to travel, made
clear the issue was not settled
on constitutional grounds.
Lacks Authority
The court said laws cited by
the Secretary of State as basis
for denial of passoprts to per
sons believed going abroad to
promote Communism did not
give him that authority.
The majority opinion, writ
ten by Justice Ddgulas de
clared:
*‘We only conclude that (the
congressional enactments)„ do
not delegate to the Secretary
the kind of authority exercised
here.
“We. deal with beliefs, with
Ideological matters. We must
remember that we are dealing
here with citizens who have
neither been accused of crimes
nor found guilty. They are
being denied their freedom of
movemen t solely because of
their refusal to be subjected to
Inquiry into their beliefs and
associations. . . ,

the law nor to violate it. They
may or may not be Commu

Rogers Raps Congress'
Inaction on Judges
By MIRIAM OTTENBERG
ntsr SUB Writer
Attorney General Rogers today directly attacked Con
gress for faUing to provide the additional Federal judges
Reeded to curb the rising spiral of delays in the administra
tion of Justice.
Addressing more than 150 judges, leaders of the bar
and court administrators gathered for the Attorney General’s
j Conference on Court Conges-
I tion, Mr. Rogers declared:
"I think it Is disgraceful that
there has been no action ana,
in fact, so little apparent Inter
est in this legislation, which
directly affects the individual
rights and liberties of so many
of our people.”
He referred to recommenda
tions pending before Congress
since 1955 for 45 more Federal
judges. He also referred to
recommended legislation that
would reUeve chief judges of
Federal courts of their admin
istrative responsibilities after
they reach the age of 70.
i
Justice Only Product
"Our profession has just one
product —Justice for Indivi
duals.” he told the judicial and
bar leaders. "We must expedite
the administration of justice
so the right result Is obtained
at the right time for the per
isons involved.”
The Attorney General warned
that "we are going to be con
stantly under attack” because
of delays In getting cases to
trial because the administra
tion of justice "is so vital to
our way of life.”
Mr. Rogers said there is no
justification for stalling in pro
viding the needed additional
judges because of economy. He
said delays in getting Govern
ment cases to trial are costing
the Government millions of dol
lars a year in Interest pay.

Levee Break in Indiana

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 1
16 (ff).—A 30-foot stretch of
the Sugar Creek levee broke at
Terre Haute early today, flood
ing about 20 per cent of West
Terre Haute and forcing some i
1,000 persons to flee their

Civil Defense officials said

Sugar Creek is a tributary
to the Wabash River. The
break was about a mile up
stream from where the creek
empties into the Wabash River.
Authorities said most of the
water was backwater and there
was no strong current. 1

Union Curbs
Plea Renewed
Senate Debate
In Final Stage
By I. A. O’LEARY
SUr SUIT Writer
Senator Qoldwater, Repub
lican of Arizona, today renewed
his charge that the pending
labor-cbntrol bill falls to give
adequate protection to the
rights of the rank-and-file
members of unions.
Taking the floor as the Sen
ate began what may be the last
day of debate. Senator Gold
! water listed only two provisions
of the bill as meeting recom
mendations of the McClellan
i committee, which investigated
improper labor activities.
The Arizona Republican said
some Senators have been too
much concerned with not in
fringing on the power “of cer
tain power-mad union bosses."
“No, the man this bill was
supposed to help has become
the forgotten man,” Senator
Goldwater added.
Plus and Minus Sections
On the plus side, he placed
only the sections requiring the
filing of financial reports, and
the controls placed on national
unions in establishing trustee
ships over locals.
On'the minus side, he said,
the Senate has failed to impose
fiduciary responsibilities on
union officers or to guarantee
democratic processes in election
of union officers or changing
union constitutions.
Basic Provisions Intact
Despite all the argument that
has swirled about the bill, its
basic provisions remain intact.
It is designed to help drive
racketeers and other crooks
out of the labor movement and
to give rank and file members
more control over union affairs.
It also would make a number
of changes in the IM7 Taft-
Hartley Labor Relations Act.

Cleanup of Teamsters
Sought by Monitors
Steps Taken by Panel to Oust
Ex-Convicts as Union Officials
By LEE M. COHN
Star stall Writer
Monitors trying to clean up the Teamsters are working
with the Senate Rackets Committee to kick criminals out of
; union office, The Star learned today.
Martin F. O'Donoghue, new chairman of the union’s
! court-appointed Board of Monitors, disclosed that the watch
dog panel has asked the committee for a list of ex-convicts
now holding office in the Mg
truckers’ union.
Armed with the list, Mr. ,
O'Donoghue will try to enforce
a provision of the union’s con
stitution that has been ignored
for a long time.
According to his interpreta
| tion, the constitution requires l
that union officers must be eli
gible for fidelity bonding.
Not Eligible for Bond ,
"Obviously,” he said, "an ex
convict could not get a bond :
and so would- be ineligible to
hold office.”

as public hearings were re.
turned in an Inquiry involving
Mr. Adams, Mr. Goldfine, and
the Federal Trade Commission
and the Securities and Ex
change Commission.
Francis X. McLaughlin, a
subcommittee staff member,
testified that Mr. Ooidflne paid
hotel bills totaling 8266.85 for
Mr. Adams’ visits to the Wal
dorf-Astoria in January and
February, 1954. During this
period, it was brought out. one
of Mr. Goldflne's textile com
panies was in difficulties with
the FTC over alleged mislabel- '
Ing of the contents of material

Mr. McLaughlin said records
subpoeaned from the hotel

He said that the bill totaling
8219.65 waa transfered to the
Goldfine account for a visit

In a letter last week to Sub
committee Chairman Harris,
Democrat of Arkansas, Mr.
Adams acknowledged staying at
the Boston hotel at the ex
pense of Mr. Goldfine and said
that he understood that tha
New England industrialist
"maintained this apartment on
a continuing basis" and when
ever he was in that city he "ac
cepted the hospitality thus
preferred by my friend.” How
ever, the committee records in
dicated that Mr. Adams had
stared in different single rooms
and suites over the 4-year
