By .I. F. TER IIORST
star Special Writer
T h e Warren Commission
Investigating. President Kenne-
dy's assassination may be ,able
to get.off.a political hot seat by
including Norman Redlich, its,
controversial staff consultant, in
a general staff' cutback early
next month.
The idea is being broached
quietly as one way to avoid the
distasteful alternative of "fir-
ing" Mr. Redlich, a New York
University law professor, be-
cause of his affiliation with the
Emergency Civil Liberties
Committee. ,
Republican members of Con-
gress and some conservative
groups have been mounting an
increasing attack on the Warren
panel over Mr. Redlich's' con-
nections with an. organization

Since the commission., has
nearly finished gathering evi-
. dence and testimony from wit-.
tresses, there is a feeling among
some panel members that, a
staff cutback is possible.
Those who . would remain
'under J. Lee Rankin, the . chief
'`counsel, could adequately han-,
;.die the task of writing the final
report. ' .

Whether the'? inclusion of Mr.
Redlich in a : staff reduction
would satisfy critics of the
commission Is anybody's guess.
Up to now, Senator Mundt,
Republican of . South Dakota;
Representative , Bee r m a n n,
Republican of Nebraska and
others have been just as critical
of Mr. Redlich's hiring as they
have been over- his continued

how he came to' be employed in
"Human Oversight" Blamed
The explanation of, at least
one authority in position A o
know can be summed up:.. "Hu-
man oversight." .
Here is his account: '
Early. in Its proceedings, the
seven-man commission .. infor-
mally adopted a rule that no
one would be employed for staff
work if he were affiliated . or
aligned with either the extreme
left or extreme right. '
The theory was that the
commission could thus' best
insure, public trust In its even-
tual findings about the Kennedy
,assassination. '
Chief Justice Warren and.the
panel members selected by Mr.
Johnson have discreetly avoided
public moves that would reflect
upon the commission's work.
So ' scrupulously did the
commission. set. out to hire its
staff that it insisted on review-'
-ing the entire background of
every applicant for. work under
Mr. Rankin, who was ' United
States Solicitor General- during
the Eisenhower administration.

on it the ECLC 'affiliation which
now has ruffled Congress.

Redlich,". a source said. . .11
-Yet for : a, reason nobody can

Form 57 was - not ..physically
examined by, ' the commission
members.
As : best as It ' can be recon-
structed, Mr. Redlich's name
was brought up by Mr. Rankin;
together with recommendations
from others as. to his extraor-
dinary abilities in the field of
legal research. That, apparent-
ly, satisfied the panel members.
They, gave Mr. ' Rankin the go-
ahead sign to hire him.-
There has- been no criticism
within the commission over Mr.
Redlich's' work. There, is, in
fact, considerable praise for the
way he - has handled what

In ", addition;, the FBI field

have' come up with no evidence
that might support. the "securi+

But Mr. Redlich for many,
years has felt strongly that the,,

authority-and he. hasn't hesi-
tated to say so publicly. The'

The Commission, headed by Chief
Justice Warren, which is investIgatin
.the assassination of President Kennedy
is in a jam of its own making. But it
is not enough simply to say this and
sign off..
Surely through Inadvertence, the
Commission employed as a consultant
a Professor Norman Redlich, of the New
York University Law School. On his
application 'orln Professor, Redlich
-stated that he was a member of the
Emergency Civil Liberties Committee.
This group has been named as a Com-
munist-froirt organization by the House
Un-American Activities Committee. Row
his application was -approved is un-
explained and hard to understand.
Even so, it would not be too iiu-
portant if it, were not for the wild
rumors floating around to the effect
that the murder of the late President
by Lee Harvey Oswald was tied in with
some kind of Communist conspiracy.
Unfortunately there are people who
believe this. And when the word reaches
them, primarily through a few Repub-
lican speeches, that the Warren Com-
mission hired a consultant with Coin-
munist sympathies (Professor Redlich
.denies that he is a sympathizer) there
is no doubt that public confidence in
the Commission's report will, to some
degree, be impaired.
The Commission is expected to meet
,next week to decide what to do about
'Professor Redlich. That is its problem,
not ours. We think it is important to
-emphasize, however, that the report,
z Shen it is published, will be the Co:n-
;mission's report. And even if one wishes
Ito assume the worst about Professor
~iRedlich, which we do not, he isn't going
4o lead the knowledgeabietimembervof

;body's primrose path.

EXCERPT FROM THE STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
ADOPTED BY THE CIVIL LIBERTIES COMMITTEE
IN 1954.
The threat to civil liberties in the United States today is the most seri-
ous in the history of our country. Combining to create this crisis of free-
dom are the following:
? Repressive administrative orders and loyalty purges on the part
of the Federal, State and City Governments;
? A number of laws which undermine the. Bill of Rights such as the
Smith Act, The Internal Security Act and the Walter-McCarran
Immigration Act;
? The veritable inquisition established by the Congressional in-
vestigating committees;
? The activity of private vigilante groups in setting up blacklists
and acting to repress freedom of speech, assembly and press;
?' The' spread of censorship and purges to education, the arts, science
had cultural enterprise in general; -
? The use of arbitrary lists of "subversive" organizations by both
governmental authorities and private institutions;
The imposition of loyalty oaths by private organizations,,
? Current procedures and proposed legislation interfering with free.
elections in trade unions, and the denial of the right to work, f
to engage in business and to practice professions on the basis of
political beliefs or associations;
? The continuation of racial discrimination, segregation and perse-
cution;
? The widespread state of fear and alarm among large sections of
the population.
All persons of whatever views, race, national origin and religion prop.
erly share in our constitutional liberties, whether as individuals or as col-
lectively grouped in organizations of one kind or another. Those who
make exceptions to the Bill of Rights undermine democracy. Civil liberties
are indivisible.
THE program of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee is simple.,
It is to reverse sueh trends as noted above and to re-establish in full
the traditional freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution and Bill
of Rights. The meaning of American democracy has always been that
these freedoms should extend to all individuals and groups in the
United States. We stand uncompromisingly for civil liberties for every-
one: businessmen and workers, Socialists and Trotskyites, Communists
and anti-Communists, Catholics, Protestants, Jews and atheists, and
every variety of dissenter.
