THE SOUTHERN. CONSERVATIVE
-To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. 5 Fort Worth, Texas, April, 1954 No.4
The Fight on McCarthy Develops Into a Test
Of Communist Strength in the United States
U.N. Officials Enjoy Immunity From Punishment
For All Crimes Including Murder and Treason
According to a strict interpretation
of the United Nations Charter, any
person connected with that world
group can commit any crime including
murder and treason and they will
have immunity from arrest or punishment
by the authorities in the country
where such crime may be committed.
In granting immunity to members
of Congrc>ss, the American Constitution
snys that such members ''shall in
o 11 cases except Treason, Felony and
Breach o.f the Peace, be privileged
frmn arres t."
But in the case of the United Na t
ions, there a1·e no exceptions and it
is clearly provided that all officials
"together with their spouses a nd relatives''
shall enjoy total immunity "in
accordance with international law.''
In other words, the sky is the limit
and the lid is off.
A delegate to the United Nations
from one of the Iron Curtain coun~
t ries, for instance, could bring in a
time·bomb in his suit case since the
Charter provides not only immunity
from personal arrest for U. N. of·
f icials, "their spouses and rel atives' '
but also gives them immunity f rom
';seizure of the ir personal baggage.''
While he was holding forth in the
United Nations and calling the United
States every d irty name in the calen·
dar, his old lady could take the bomb
down to Washington and plant it
under the Capitol and it would be
just one on us. Nothing could be done
about it.
In the meantime Cousin Igor Sonovawitch
could slip out and blow up
the Brooklyn Bridge and thumb his
nose at the cops who tried to arrest
him.
What fools we mortals be.
During one year, three hundred
and seventeen witnesses before in~
vestigating committees of Con4
gress probing Communist activities.
have refused to answer ques~
tions and have taken refuge behind
the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution.
The Experts Will Get You
If You Don't Watch Out
At the prospect of· the orgat1ization
of the new "Pacific Group of
Nations'' hatched up by Dulles, in
co11aboration with other sla~J-hap~
py internationalists, we can just
see the world experts twil.ching
like a cow's tail flicking o. heel fly,
as they contemplate the potential
rich pickings in the South Seas.
Although the actual Organiza~
tion is still just a gleam in a diplomat's
eye, these experts probably
already have their brief cases
packed and are all set for ac tion.
The happy island people out
there who have been left free i.o
live their own care-free lives as
they see fit, don't know what
they're in for.
They are blissfully ignorant of
the hordes of humanitarians and
do-gooders who will swarm over
them in the wake of a miniature
United Nations a nd who will undertake
to make them over from
stem to stern.
If they know what's good for
them, they will take to the tallest
cocoanut tree they can find and
h ide in its branches where the professional
reformers can't find
them.
It Looks Like Lattimore
Will Slip Through the Net
Nothing has been heard lately of
the trial of Owen Lattimore indicted
for lying under oath to an investigating
committee of Congress con4
cerning his activities in connection
with his State Department mission in
China.
His trial was postponed once but
it was not our understanding that
it was put off indefinitely, and it
seems high time that something was
done about it.
This slippery character has a lot
of pull in a lot of places and perhaps
the idea is that it will drag on and
on and the American people will forget
it. And they probably will.
The objectives of committee probes into subversion have
been all but forgotten and considerations involving national
security have been tossed overboard as the enemies of
America's ace defender close in for the k ill. With a determined
and coordina ted e ffort which sends thrills of joy
coursing t hrough the Kremlin, o rganized subversive forces
in this co untry a re demonstra ting that their sole interest
lies in d estroying the Wisconsin senator and that the safety
of the Republic is of minor concern.
It isn 't too important now whether any American, individually, does
or does not like Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and even criticism of his
"methods" is beside the point.
We are face to face with a situation not of our choosing which known
enemies of Americanism have built up with the lines clearly drawn
and where there is no middle-ground or half-way station in which the
faint-hearted may take refuge.
On the one side is a duly elected United States senator and his associa
tes who have been mercilessly delving in to Communist pene tration
of the government, the army and defense plants where Russia's interests
are effectively served by t he planting ef her agents in strategic
posts.
On the other side are organized a nti-American forces whose sym4
pathy toward the Soviet system as opposed to the American form of
government. is a matter of record in the form of pronouncements, res4
elutions, political action and affiliation with Communist fronts.
These domestic subversives, in tacit· collaboration with alien conspirators,
have maneuvered a situation made to order where the Wisconsin
senator must either be supported or repudiated by the American
people and the result will accurately measure the strength or weakness
of Communist influence in the United States. ·
It is plainly and indisputably an issue of Communism versus Americanism
and an ideological victory for the Soviets will give direction and
meaning to their long-range plans for the ultimate conquest of a
country they half fear , partially envy and wholly despise.
The fo rces to which we refer as- spearheading the attack on McCarthy
and serving as an uno1fficial liaison with Moscow in the fight against
him are a group of super-liberals, a little to the Left of Lenin, known
as Americans for Democratic Action who have long served, collectively,
as a transmission belt for the dissemination of anti-American sentiment
in the United States and whose individual names are liberally sprinkled
among the files of the committees of Congress investigating Communist
activities in this country.
On every occasion when Communist ideologies have come in conflict
with established American ideals and traditions, ADA has, without •
exception, unhesitatingly lined up on the side of their Soviet soul
mates, including a strong denunciation of attempts to outlaw the Communist
P arty, designation of the un-American Activities Committee of
Congress as 11a threat to freedom of political opinion", opposition to
loyalty tests and advocacy of the teaching of Communism in American
schools.
Closely allied with ADA and supporting its program are minority
group organizations whose smear operations and terrorist tactics closely
parallel those of the Sicilian Maffia and the Corsican Camorra; subversive
church councils, labor union leaders, fifth-amendment Americans,
Socialist college professors, left-wing preachers and other do4
mestic Quislings who constitute the fifth column in this country dedicated
to the peaceful overthrow of the American form of government.

Millions of Americans Think It--The Southern Conservative Says It
Pogo 2 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Apra, 1954
Addled Adolescents Do Their Stuff
As the Puppets of Mature Liberals
Some soft-headed sophomores at
the University of Texas, performing
in the typical manner of Marxinfested
adolescents, got together
quite a number of names of students
on a petition protesting the
appearance of Senator Joseph R.
McCarthy as guest speaker at San
Jacinto Day ceremonies in Houston
April21.
A couple of the youngsters
trotted over to Houston and presented
the petition to Mr. H. R.
Cullen, Houston's leading citizen
who, in collaboration with a patriotic
group, invited Senator McCarthy
to make the address.
Mr. Cullen, displaying a kindly
tolerance and understanding of
misguided, groping and con_fused
youthful minds, gently but firmly
informed the boys that Senator
McCarthy would speak as scheduled
and courteously dismissed the
lads who meekly journeyed back
to Austin to report to wh'oever it
was that was directing their ac~
tivities.
Nobody Is Surprised That
Chavez Is Not Tossed Out
The gesture toward the investigation
of irregularities in connection
with the election of Senator Dennis
Chavez ot New Mexico and the subsequent
motions which the Senate
went through in deciding whether or
not to allow him to hold his seat,
constituted one of those big jokes
which periodically occur on the floor
of the Upper House.
According to the Constitution, of
course, the Senate is the final judge
in such matters and while they solemnly
appear to weigh the evidence in
cases of irregular and corrupt elections
the senator involved seldom, if
ever, gets tossed out.
In 1948, for example, a Texas Senator
was seated with practically no
opposition even though he had lost
the election in a fair contest and was
only enabled to win through postelection
manipulation of a notorious
South Texas political boss who came
up !ive days later with enough votes
of dead men to put the senator over.
It was claimed that in the case of
Senator Chavez, he had no knowledge
of the crookedness which went on in
the New Mexico election in his behaJf
although this is difficult to believe.
But the point is not whether Senator
Chavez was or was not a party to
the irregularities at the polls but that
the senator involved always receives
the benefit of the doubt because the
party to which he belongs nee:ls his
vote.
Of course the day will come
when most of these mentally immature
students-who were probably
only being used as messenger
boys by more experienced "liberals"-
will become good and useful
citizens in spite of any handicap
they may suffer in the way of
subversive influence now.

any basic and fundamental learning
in the American sense of the
term.
Knowledge, understanding and
appreciation of our glorious American
system of governmen~ an~ th_e
imperative need to mamt~m 1t
against efforts of Commumsts to
destroy it, is something they have
not learned from their text books.
Pride of country, allegiance to
the American Flag and loyalty to
the Republic for which it stands
are. unfortunately, not attribu!es
which are conferred along wtth
their diploma and can only be acquired
after their fou~-y~ar period
of infiltration by Socialist college
professors has been ·strick~n from
their memory and passed mto the
limbo Q{ forgotten tl1ings.
To the everlasting shame of
apathetic American parents who
have permitted subversive teac~ers
and ministers to shape their
children's econoll)ic and social
thinking, we are producing a
generation of youn~ste.rs .who
automatically and mstmchvely
line up on the side of Communism
when this ideology comes in conflict
with Americanism, just as
the Austin students did.
"It is a strange situation that
we in the Senate should be called
upon to vote upon a treaty which
barters away the inalienable Constitutional
rights of American soldiers
on foreign soil. Of all the
,eople wh~m we ought to protect
in their inalienable rights guaranteed
by the Constitution to all
American citizens, are the men
who wear the uniform of our country
and who are pledged to defend
these principles with their lives.
Yet for the first time so far as I
know, the Senate is asked to barter
away these rights of Americans
in uniform . .,-Senator John W.
Bricker's warning to his colleagues
when NATO was up for ratification
by the Senate.
With the defeat of the Fair Deal
administration Americans hoped that
the people would be told the truth
about Social Security and that this
legalized extortion racket would be
exposed. Instead it is being "broadened"
and more "benefits" voted. Instead
of Truman and Ewing pleading
for this Socialist project, we now have
Eisenhower and Hobby. The words
are the same. The voices are different.
Recommended Reading for Those Who
Have a Couple of Lifetimes to Spare
Some of our readers, understand~
ably enough, found it hard to believe
our assertion last month that ten
thousand executive agreements and
other international agreements, aside
from treaties, have been entered into
with foreign countries between 1945
and the close of 1954.
Ii they want to look it up for them4
selves they can confirm it, but it is a
tough assignment and we don't recom4
mend this procedure to any one unless
they have the patience of Job and the
tenacity of a Boston bull dog.
They will likely be told by any
member of Congress to whom they
appeal, that such member does not
know of any such compilation of the~
records in matters concerning executive
agreements and he will be telling
the truth. He has probably never seen
it or heard of it.
These agreements are compiled into
twenty volumes called "Statutes at
Large" and it required 80,000 pages
to cover them.
They will likely be found in larg,e
libraries or in the library of universi-ties,
and especially "liberal" univer ..
sities.
The vast majority of these agree ..
ments and international commitments
are routine, innocuous and harmless
but buried in among them are many
which are not in this classification
including agreements not known to
exist which could be invoked by the
United Nations when World Government
is finally perfected to the point
where they have us on the hook and
they get ready to crack down.
The point was originally raised by
us to indicate the potential danger of
government by treaty law and executive
agreements when it is finally
established that these agreements
supersede our Constitution, and not
to draw attention to any particular
one of them.
We didn't have the two lifetimes to
spare which would be necessary if
one decided to read them. all and
find out just what commitments the
White House and the Department of
State have made from 1945 up to
now, but they are all there if any one
wants to tackle the job of reading
eighty thousand pages.
FIGHT-
(Continued From Page 1)
Lined up with them also are some new recruits in Wisconsin composed
of shady characters dredged up from the political sewers of that
State to whom ADA is furnishing thousands of <!ollars for the circulation
of reviling and vicious magazines and newspapers prepared express·
ly for the purpose of halting McCarthy's unrelenting fight against
Soviet agents in the United States.
Dovetailing in with the overall conspiracy to get McCarthy are the
planned insults and slights by high administration officials not direct- _
ly affiliated with ADA but who are scorched with jealous resentment
because the Wisconsin senator has come to out-rank them·in the respect,
hearts and affections of millions of the American people.
All in all, the McCarthy opposition presents an imposing array of
hostility, compounded of personalities antagonistic to each other but un·
divided in their animosity toward a champion crusader against saba ..
tage-and all of them subversive so far as their unquestioned loyalty to
the American Republic is concerned.
In fact, a significant circumstance that must be evident to any in ..
formed appraiser of the situation is that among the thousands who are
publicly lined up against McCarthy, there is not one single individual
with undivided allegiance to this country or who has ever once come
out openly, boldly and unreservedly for the safety, security and defense
of the United States without expressing equal concern for the welfare
of the people of foreign lands. . .
All this organized antagonism and disregard of Amencan secu~1ty
must be faced not only by Senator McCarthy but by every respons1ble
American as he lines up on one side or the other.
The personalities involved have ceased to be of moment. . .
This country could well do without Americans for Democratic Action
and the infamous horde of subversives who have drifted to the surface
in its backwash.
It could even survive without the service of Senator McCarthy but
~:~i~~~~~~~ ~!~~0!o1~~g d~~~:~eiti~n~n e~~~~~dt0h~~~ !~~k~~~z~~s d~~:
troy it.
In t~is tragic national crisis, every American must either st~nd with
the Umted States and McCarthy or with its enemies and Amencans for
Democratic Action.
We note that a new column is
appearing in some daily newspapers.
throughout the country but
there 1s not much likelihood that
Americanism will get a shot in the
~rm as a ~esult o~ this late entry
mto the f1eld of JOurnalism. The
column is written by E. Stanley
Jones once cited as a member of
the notorious American League for
Peace and Democracy, described
by the un-American Activities
Committee of Congress as "the
largest of the Communist front
movements in the United States"
and as "nothing more nor less than
a bold advocate of treason". Jones
is also author of many books advocating
the abolishment of the
American Free Enterprise system
in favor of National Socialism. We
need more columnists of that type
like we need two heads.
April, 1954 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Page l
United Nations Is Our 'War Preventer' So What's Tennessean Gives Example We Haven't Got the Votes
Keeping Them From Settling the Indochina Affair? Of Americanism in Action To Outlaw Communist Party
Every American who still thinks
that the United Nations is going
to "combat aggression, prevent
war and insure peace" will now
please stand on his head.
For years, we have had it dinned
into our ears that our only salvation
lay in this world organization
which would swoop down on aggressor
nations like a hawk on a
Plymouth Rock chicken.
What we poor, stupid dupes
didn 't know was that they had
their fingers crossed and they
meant they would check aggression
in every case except
where Communists were the aggressor.
Recently Dag Hammarskjold,
Secretary-General of the United
Nations, made a speech to the N ational
Press Club in Washington in
which he made it clear that the
United Nations was not about to do
anything in Indochina and said
there is no " urgency in the situation
there."
A week later the vice president
of the United States took the microphone.
He didn't point out to
his fellow Americans the utter.
abject and miserable failure of the
United Nations to crack down on
the aggressors in Indochina. He
meekly predicted that the United
States may have to Htake over -the
battle in Indochina if the French
pull out.''
Well. what are we paying the
United Nations for? American taxpayers
have been bleCl white to
keep this treason-ridden gang of
one worlders operating in luxury
rivalin.g that of mediaeval kings
and at the first opportunity to
repel aggression, they calmly announce
they will do nothing.
Good Americans wouldn't mind
even going ragged to pav the taxes
to support an organization which
would prevent war and keep a new
crop of young boys from beint4
killed off every few years but it
is our guess that they are going
to rebel at paying the United Nations
to keep us out of war and,
at the same time. sending their
sons to die in wars the United Nations
didn't even try to prevent.
\Vith eve:rv d:iy's delav in voting
the United s ·tates out of the UnHed
Nations, members of the Senate
are compounding the act of treason
they committed in 1945 when they
voted us into it.
Government officials seem to be
taking every means available to
them for deporting Dick Haymes
and while they are to be commended
for doing their duty, why,
we wonder, were they not
equally aggressive in their efforts
to deport Harry Bridges? From
where we sit, it looks like somebody
who is powerful wanted
Harry Bridges to stay while somebody
equally powerful wants
Haymes to go.
Along with investigations, scandals
and rumors of war the names
of a Dominican playboy and a
Hungarian adventuress have occupied
the headlines. It is rumored
that they will wind up their trip
to Europe by marrying each other
and we hope they do. It would
ser\'e them right.
The Marshall Housewives
May Be Down But Not Out
You can't beat the Marshall
Housewives.
Although t h e y h a v e been
slapped down several times by
Federal judges who see nothing
wrong with a Socialist law on the
statute books of a Constitutional
Republic, they are still undaunted.
They now have a new plan to
suggest to replace the compulsory
old-age benefit program.
Their plan would hroaden the
Social Security act to ccver all
who wish to be covered by social
security insurance but they would
remove the compulsion and let
only those Americans participate
who wanted to and they would let
those persons pay their own tax.
It seems a reasonable demand,
but there is the drawback that
reason and common sense play no
part in legislative enactments in
our modern economy.
They propose to present their
plan to the Ways and Means Committee
of the House and to the Department
of Public Health. Education
and Welfare although it is
clear that they exoect 1itlle encourage::
mE'nt from the latter agency
of which Ovcta Hobby is Secretary.
In a Jetter to Mrs. Hobby they
noted that she had presented a
plan to the Committee for broadening
the Social Security act but
complained that the press story
reportint{ the event carried only a
description of what she wore and
gave only vague reference to what
she advocates.
In other words. they don't care
anything about her hat. They are
interested in what's under it.
The State Department Is
Still Loaded With Reds
Spruillc Braden, former assistant
Secretary of State who tried unsuccessfully
in 1045 to persuade Dean
Acheson to fir' the Reds in that agency,
said in a recent Associated Press
interview that a bunch of young Soviets
are still there and helping to
shape our foreign policies.
This is not exactly news to most
of us but now that an official who
was closely associated with that department
for years had publicly
charged that the agency is still full
of subversives. perhaps action will be
forced on Dulles for their removal.
We have said it so much that it
probably sounds like nagging but we
insist that history will vindicate our
contention that the. only difference
between Acheson and Dulles is a
mustache.
The words "Democracy" and
"Democratic" are nowhere to be
found in the Constitution of the
United States. These terms were
coined by Socialists and were picked
up and repeated by dim-wits
who do not realize that ours is a
Republic and not a Democracy.
Over in Nashville, Tennessee, there
is a grand organization called the
Southern States Industrial Council
which carries on a never-ending and
vigorous fight against National Socialism.

Recentll, ~,ftc:- a t!irPc ~ h:t O'l 1 \• A
by Mr. Sensing, George Dempster
president of Dempster Brothers of
Knoxville publicly announced that he
was taking his membership out of
The Southern States Industrial Council
because of Mr. Sensing's attack
on TVA.
Incidentally, Dempster is president
of an outfit called Citizens for TVA,
a public power lobby whose objective
is to cover up the fact that TVA
is losing millions of dollars for American
taxpayers and to promote the
fantastic idea that this Socialist project
provides cheaper power
At this 'point, Mr. A. G. Heinsohn,
Jr., president of Cherokee Mills of
Knoxville, and one of the most outstanding
industrialists in the Volunteer
State entered the picture.
He informed the Southern Stales
Industrial Council that he would pay
that organization four times the
amount of the loss suf{ercd by the
withdrawal of Dempster's membership
in the Council.
For good measUt·e, he added:
"This incident gives me the opportunity
to prove that those politicians
who crawl on thCir bellies to Wa~hington
and cravenly beg Cor special
favors, do not represent all the citizens
of this area.
"Some of us, including the undersigned
of Southern birth and Confederate
ancestry, refuse to sell our
souls for a cut-rate power bill. Some
of us still believe in God. in the Constitution
as it was originally written
and in our own efforts.
"We do not want to depend on the
ability of local politicians to pick the
pockets o( citizens of othrr States in
order to give us cheap power. We
prefer to stand on our own feet and to
maintain our sell-respect as decent
Americans.
'·I( you will be kind enough to let
me know the do1lars and cents loss
that your association will suffer because
o[ the withdrawal of Dempster
Brothers, I will be delighted to send
you a check for four limes that
amount. Permit me to double and redouble
for the sake of separating the
sheep from the goals, the boys from
the men and the New Deal rats (rom
real Americans."
Any comment on Mr. Heinsohn's
fine gesture o! Americanism would
be canying coal to Pittsburgh.
We learn from a responsible
source that a vigorous and organized
effort is to be made in Dallas
to return control of Southern
Methodist University to the Methodists.
However, in view of official
Methodist policy which is so
completely in accord with that of
the group now directing affairs of
the school, we do not anticipate
that any great difference in its administration
will be noted.
There is a lot of discussion pe-rennially
going on as to whether
or not Congress should pass a bill
to outlaw the Communist Party in
this country.
Any such conjecture is merely
academic and a waste of valuable
time on the part of those who indulge
in it.
The cold-blooded truth is that
it is not possible for any measure
to be passed by our national lawmaking
body outlawing Commu4
nists or to any great extent throt4
tling their activities in this country.
The Soviets have too many
powerful groups in this country
who are in sympathy with their
ideologies to permit any such legislation
to be passed and we had as
well admit it.
Any serious attempt to pass a
measure through Congress which
would make that party illegal
would cause Americans for Democratic
Action, the National Council
of Churches, Labor leaders,
minority group smear organizations,
ministers, college professors,
fifth-amendment Americans and
other various and sundry subversives
swarming into Washington
like the seven-year locusts to protest
and scream to high heaven
against violation of Constitutional
right~ and suppression of freedom
of speech.
Already more than two hundred
anti- Communist bills have
been introduced in Congress this
session and, with the exception
of a measure permitting wire-tapping
by the FBI, they have no
more chance of passage than a onelegged
man has of winning a foot
race.
The very number of bills introduced
will work against the
passage of any. It is one of the
favorite tricks of Communists to
have confusing. conflicting and
contradictory measureS introduced
on subjects ·to which they are opposed
which usually results in no
legislation being passed.
This is not only true of Congress
but of every State legi slature in
the nation for Communist infiltration
of leaders has become so
general that opposition to antisubversive
bills will spring up instantly
in any State in the Union.
Rank and file Americans are
violently opposed to the vile Communist
conspiracy to abolish the
American form of government but
they can't do much about it so long
as those who formulate American
policy throw in with the enemy.
The answer would seem to be
to either quit talking about outlawing
the Communist Party or
get a new set of leaders from the
bottom up.
The United States has spent
$3,500,000,000 in aid to Italy since
the end of the second world war
and Russia has not spent one red
cent in that country, but it is
generally conceded that the Italians
are fast turning Communist.
All of which should prove to our
soft-headed diplomats that you
can't purchase friendship with
dollars,

THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES:
The powers not delegated to the United
Statu by the Constitution, nor prohibited
bv itto theStatesarereserved to the
Statu rupedively, or to the people,
Back to the Pulpit
With Political Preachers
In furtherance of the theo1ogical
policy of defending subversives from
exposure by investigating Committees
of Congress, the Very Reverend Francis
B. Sayres, dean of the Washington
Cathedral and the Very Reverend
James A, Pike, dean of St. J ohn the
Divine in New York, exchanged pulpits
recently.
In blistering attacks on Senator
Joseph R. McCarthy for exposing
Communists in high positions, these
political pulpiteers whose time and
efiorts are devoted to practically
every contemporary subject except
religion, discarded all semblance of
ministerial dignity and descended to
the level o! gutter snipes prosecuting
a back-street gang brawl.
By implication, they defended Communists,
saboteurs, homosexuals and
other subversives routed out of the
government, the army, defense plants
and other critical positions by the
timely action ol the McCarthy Com-mittce
of the Senate.
For good measure one o! them
even denounced the church to w}lich
Senator McCarthy belongs which, to
our mind, is a disgrace to the cloth
since no person who holds another
man's religion up to scorn has any
vestige of Christianity in his own
heart.
Such infamous clerical behavior
would seem to indicate that there is
a crying need for a housecleaning in
some ot the churches and that it is
high time political preachers were
driven back to the pulpit.
Whenever announcement is made
of the holding o! a "seminar or
"workshop," such project will bear
close watching. Formerly these two
words had a perfectly respectable
meaning but in recent years, the
terms have been so frequently employed

THE SOUTHERN CONSER VAT IVE April, 1954
Investigators Ignore Our Suggestion That Mothers Are Given War
Casualty Statistics Alger Hiss Be Made Committee Counsel
Because he was reported to have
once expressed opposition to Communists
taking over the American government
and to have, in the process,
uttered appreciation of Senator McCarthy's
efforts to prevent it, Attorney
Sears of Boston was found
objectionable to members of Americans
for Democratic Action and accordingly
forced to resign as Counsel
for the Senate Committee investigating
the Cohn-Adams feud.
After combing the nation's attorneys
to find one suitable to ADA, the
committee finally decided on Mr. Ray
H. Jenkins, reputed to be an impec~
cable member of the legal fraternity,
" without bias or prejudice" concerning
the Wisconsin senator although it
is difficult to believe that any good
American does not have definite convictions
in the matter.
We tried to help the committee out
when it seemed that they were hopelessly
deadlocked after Mr. Sears be~
came disgusted and resigned, but they
didn 't pay any attention to us and
went right ahead and ignored our
well-intentioned suggestions. In
air mail letter to them, we said:
"In order to prevent further
delay in the proceedings, perhaps
it would be well to make an efIort
to get a temporary parole !or
Alger Hiss in order that he may
act as Committee Counsel.
''This action would meet the
wholehearted approval of Americans
for Democratic Action and
would allow the hearing to get
under way,
"Otherwise, these delaying tactics
initiated by Communists and
their cohorts in this country will
continue and the American people
will not be permitted to know
the facts in the dispute under investigation.
"Anyway, the selection of Committee
Counsel would seem to be
relatively unimportant in comparison
to the truth about what
actually happened and we imagine
that McCarthy can take care
of himsel! regardless of who asks
tf1e questions."
J. J. McCormack of Houston, in a
letter to the Chronicle of that city
has presented some thought-provoking
figures on modern wars in which
Americans have engaged and has
named the presidents during whose
administrations these wars occur red.

The Communist-clogged New

ter was revoked by the American
•Federation of Labor on the ground
that it was Communist-dominated
and which was repudiated by the
New York City Board of Education
for the same reason, held its
annual meeting r~cently.
A feature of its program was
the presentation of its annual
award for "unswerving defense of
intellectual freedom" which is its
way of showing appreciation of
the most outstanding defender of
the rights of educators to teach
Communism in the schools of this
country.
Appropriately en o u g h, this
award was voted to Rober t M.
Hutchins, former president of the
University of Chicago and now
head of the $500,000 ,000 Ford
Foundation which uses its funds
not to expose Communists in government
but to expose_ those who
expose Communists.
However, this public recogni~
tion by the notorious and discre d it~
ed New York Teachers Union of
the service rendered their cause
by Hutchins was too much even
for the Ford Foundation management
whose directors instructed
Hutchins to refuse the award.
This he did but it must have
practically broken his heart to be
forced to turn down an award
which he had earned and merited.

We Are Traveling Fast
In the Wrong Direction
From the Summer White House on
the Augusta golf course, lhe P resident
recently issued an official ultimatum
pledging that American troops will
remain in Europe indefinitely.
The President, in taking this authority,
is secure in the knowledge
that the American Constitution is
largely inoperative in official government
circles and that we no longer
have a Supreme Court which will enforce
its provisions except when it
suits its ends to do so.
Otherwise, it would not be possible
for the President, in peace time, to
issue orders from a clubhouse committing
our armed forces to the defense
of foreign nations except as a
result of an o!!icial Declaration of
War by the Congress of the United
States.
Secretary of State Dulles had
earlier practically declared war in
Indochina and then Vice President
Nixon got into the act and indicated
that the job of defending that country
would fall to the United States.
We believe that a re-appraisal of
our foreign policy by Congress cannot
be avoided and the authority for
plunging this country into armed conflict
definitely settled unless we are
ready to concede officially that the
Constitution is invalid and that just
anybody can declare war when they
feel like it Or when they run 0ut of
something else to do.
The fai lure of the Bricker
amendment to pass the Senate is
hailed as a victory for the administration.
It is also recognized as
a definite loss to the securitv of
the Republic.

We Forecast United States' Interference in Indo-China
And Communist China's Admission to the United Nations
We have not the slightest desire to
emulate columnists who make predictions
of things to come but we do
want to forecast two events w_h ich. we
believe inevitable.
PACK OF SOVIET DEFENDERS
READY TO AID OPPENHEIMER
First, we think this country will be
dragged into the Indonesian war within
the next few months, and that
American boys will be sacrificed there
as in the Korean farce.
It requires no great acumen or foresight
to arrive at this conclusion as
Secretary of State Dulles practically
declared war in his recent public
statement on the situation there. His
words were vague, involved and ambiguous
but there was no mistaking
his warning that we are being herded
into the French-Chinese brawl.
Also, in December, one hundred
American pl anes were shipped from
J apan to Manila where the American
insigne was removed and that of
France substituted. The planes were
then sh ipped to Indo-China. Also
many members of the Air Force are
receiving sealed orders to report to
the South Pacific and since we are
not at war, that can mean only that
we are soon going to get into one.
Second, we predict that the Chinese
Communists will be seated in the
United Nations within a year and that
this will be taken care of at the
Geneva Conference, although the
world may not be advised of it.
We have always mainta ined, how·
ever, that it is not important whether
or not the Chinese Communists are
alloWed in the United Nations. What
is important is that the United States
get out of the United Nations before
it is too late.
The Chinese Communists would be
right at home in the United Nations
a nd rightfully belong there among
their own kind while the United States
is an alien entity in the group.
The United Nations is the medium
through which the world conspiracy
against this country is to be realized
and, aside !rom a few small a1_1d un~
mportant nations,, we have no allies
m that group.

We believe they will find, as we
did, that while very few publications
who champion Americanism are to be
found in these periodical rooms, there
are three which are a lmost invariably
to be had.
These three are the Nation, the New
Republic and the New York Times.
Of the two former publications, the
Nation and the New Republic, the
California Un- American Activities
Committee said in its fifth report in
1949, on page 621:
''The Nation and the New Republic
have long records as liberal publications.
They cannot be described as
Communist, but they are so infiltrated
with the Communist Party policy that
they serve the interests of the Communists
and confuse liberals on many
issues, much more than do some of
the Communist publications."
The New York Times while not

know, in the same classification as
the Nation and the New Republic, in
its ideological and ed itorial policy.
No copies of the Da ily Worker will
probably be fou nd in these periodical
rooms but it would be better perhaps
for the students if they were.
That publication is widely known
as the official organ of the Americ;m

little damage.

Mrs. Jones became alarmed at subversive
teaching in the Tenafly High
School and at the amazing number of
books and publications by Communists
and Fellow Travelers in the
school's library.
Like any good American, she proceeded
to try to do something · about
it by calling public attention to the
effort of Communists to undermine
children's faith in the institutions of
this country and in religion and pointed
to the literature in the school readw

As a result, she was asked to resign

A piece of legislation has been
passed by the New York assembly
which will bear watching because
t here is danger of it spreading to
other states, like the smallpox.
The bill was an administration
measure and is called a "code of

It is a type of legislation which
only a Pi nk like Dewey could sponsor

It is claimed that the Central
I ntelligence Agency of which
brother Allen Dulles is head, has
from eight thousand to thirty
thousand employes, although the
actual number is a deep, dark
secret. It is also said to occupy
thirty buildings in Washington
and to cost the American taxpayers
$500,000,000 per year to
maintain. Since we have never
heard of this agency exposing a
Communist in government or doing
anything else for that matter,
we wonder what is done with all

gious and there is grave danger of
the contagion spreading to other
heads of state and especially in
heavily congested parts of the
country w~ere anti-American sen·
timent is running wild.
The Methodists are going to have
to look to their laurels. The Episcopalians
seem to be running them a
close second in the cover-up of subversives
in the schools and churches.
Thoughtful Americans are becoming
more and more aware of
the fact that wars don't happen
any more but are carefully planned.
Unfortunately those who
negotiate these wars can't be put
in the front lines and shot but
remain well inside safety zones so
they will live to plan other wars.
The Oppenheimer case is unfolding
the information that Commu·
nists and Communist sympathizers
were thickly clustered around the
atomic energy projects from the
beginning of the experiments and
probably explains Russia's ability
to keep abreast of the United
States in development of atomic
weapons.
It turns out that Oppenheimer's
background and his association
with Communists has been known
to authorities since 1949 but the
matter was handled in the usual
manner where such cases were in·
volved. The information was kept
secret and he was allowed to con·
tinue his work in atomic laboratories.
It probably would have never
been disclosed if authorities had
not had Senator McCarthy breathing
down their necks.
Now all the pack of liberal scientists,
fifth-Amendment Americans,
and the usual contingent of Soviet
defenders are rallying to Oppenheimer's
defense without knowing,
or caring, whether he's guilty or
not.
U.N. Experts Plan to Tear Up
The Calendar and Start Over
The United Nations set up for
" combating aggression , preventing
wars and insuring peace'' is about to
engage in a new project through Hs
Economic and Social Council and any
normal, sane and well-balanced person
could make a thousand guesses
without hitting on the right answer
as to what it is.
Having run out o! things to reform,
they are now about to embark on a
program of Calendar Reform.
Under a plan which India has subw
milled, the Gre,::orian Ca lendar which
has been in use since the 16th Century
would be abandoned and a new
World Calendar adopted in its p lace
which would contain only four months
of 91 days each, in place of the twelve4
month calendar.
The experts found , after launching
this plan, that there would be one day
left over so they decided ttiey would
make this a World Holiday.
And any one whose impulse is to
engage in side-splitting laughter at
the idea had just as well hold their
fire. The United Nations bunch is just
nutty enough to try it.
If they are successful, there are a
lot of things that are taken care o! on
a monthly basis which will have to be
revised to conform to a four times
per annum schedule, but no doubt the
experts can figure that out, too.
Young boys who have not yet lived
are forced into battle with enemies
of whom they have never heard
and compelled to sacrifice their
lives in a "cause" which they do
not understand. It's a great life
for every one except those who do
the fighting and dying.

Dr. Matthews Revises Estimate on Number The Truth About Who Long Over-Due Probe
Of Communist Preachers in United States Had MacArthur Fired Is Now Under Way
Ill-Founded Report Sends
Americans Into Spasms of Fear
A statement in the United Nations
Bulletin of March first caused wide·
spread alarm and consternation among
responsible Americans who read it or
had it called to their attention.
This article was to the effect that
the Genocide Pact had been signed by
the United States and left the impression
among many that this heinous
plot had been ratified by Executive
agreeme:1t.
TJ.e fact that hundreds of secret
agreements are in effect which commit
the United States to government
by treaty instead of by the Constitution,
lent credence to the report.
However, we are informed in a
personal letter from a member of the
United States Senate that this report
is untrue, and that the conclusions
drawn from the United Nations Bulletin
are misleading
H is true that the Genocide Convention
was signed in 1949 either by the
President or the Secretary of State
who, at that time were Harry Truman
and Dean Acheson, respectively. But
their signature to it was only the
lirst step and this Genocide thing docs
not become elfcctive until ratified by
the United States Senate which, God
willing. will never happen.
This Pact is in a pigeon hole in the
files o( the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee where it has reposed for
morr than four YNlrs. An:v ~ttempt by
the SrnatC' to 1·alify it would bring
forlh a storm of protest from good
Amrricans which would make the Bikini
explosion seem like the pop of a
!irecr.-.ckCJ".
The history of this dangerous proposal
known as the Genocide Convention
and about whose potentialities
and implications few Americans
are aware, is one of deceit, confusion
and misrepresentation brought about
by orricials in government who know
that it will never be ratified but who
fear to inform its sponsors to this
c!fcd.

Sometime ago, Dr. J. B. Matthews
while serving as counsel to a Senate
Committee investigating Communist
activities, startled the American people
with the announcement that there
were seven thousand Protestant ministers
serving the Communist cause in
this country.
Since that time, Dr. Matthews has
been doing further research in the
matter, checking his figures and revising
his estimates and he now announces
that he was mistaken in his
assertion that there were seven thousand
subversive preachers occupying
American pulpits
He says the figure should have been
8,079.
Communist conspirators have established
a strong beachhead in the
American church pulpit, Dr. Matthews

and added that "at least 12,000 American
clergymen became susceptible to

the petition to save the Communist
spies, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg.

There was a lot of hogwash about

At the Lontlon meeting of the United
Nations Preparatory Commission
in London following the setting up of
the international conspiracy against
the United States at San Francisco in
1945, the Russians put their cards on
the table and flat told the delegates
present that unless a Communist were
given the post of Minister of War,

from the world organization.

people would be well advised to keep
constantly on the alert and make sure
that they are not hoodwinked in the
matter of the most dangerous proposal
ever evolved by vicious, un·
principled and scheming intcrnalion4
alisls.
The passage of the Bricker amend4
ment would afford protection in such
situations and would obviate the necessity
for the American people to be
forever on guard against plots such
as this to destroy the precious freedoms
bequ<'athed them by the
founders of this Republic.
Information of the United Nations
who ordered Truman to fire him.
To conclude otherwise, is to admit
to a degree of stupidity of which even
the Russians think us incapable.
The Army ordered A~nie Lee
Moss, a Negro woman employed in
the Signal Corps, to return to duty
after she was suspended following
her appearance before the McCarthy
Committee. Reliable witnesses
swore under oath that the woman
had been a Communist but the Army
took the position that she should be
allowed to continue working while
the investigation was completed.
Looks like we always give suspected
subversives the benefit of the doubt
and if the security of .j.he country
is involved, that's just too bad.
A committee of Congress, under
the chairmanship of Congressman
Carroll Reece of Tennessee is conducting
one of the most important
investigations ever undertaken by
memqers of that body.
They are going into the subject
of large Foundations set up as taxexempt
organizations for charitable
and philanthropic purposes
supposedly, but whose money is
known to be spent in subversive
causes.
The Committee would get much
valuable information from the
files of the old McCarren Committee
which conducted the investigation
into the Institute of Pacific
Relations which was largely instrumental
in the sell-out of China
to the Communists.
The present owners of the Ford,
Rockefeller, Carne.gie and other
large fortunes, who never had anything
whatever to do with amassing
these fortunes, seem to have
been converted to World Socialism
and worse during the New Deal
and Fair Deal administrations,
and, as a result, have financed
many queer operations.
They should be made to stop
giving grants to subversives and
stick to the objectives they enumerated
when they secured taxexemption
privileges. or the privileges
should be taken away from
them.
So far as we know, they have
never financed any activity in behalf
of Americanism and it is well
known that in order to get their
support, any individual or movement
must lean heavily to the left,
~t it mildly_.-----
Tax Reduction Should Come
Before Buildirrg Programs
The bill before the Texas Senate
appropriating $3,500,000 for new
buildings at Southern Methodist University
at Dallas was passed by a
vote of 25 to 1.
Senator Jimmy Phillips, with
whose views we do not often agree,
took a very sound position in opposing
the appropriation. He contended
that anticipated surplus funds in
the Slate treasury should be used
in bringing about tax reduction instead
of being devoted to building
programs.
That is a good sound argument regardless
of who advances it and one
with which hard·pressed taxpayers
will agree.
At least, they should have tacked
on an amendment to the bill before
tossing over $3,500,000, providing
that no school could receive state
money which is clogged with Pinks
and which permits the teaching of.
Socialism by its instructors.
The sum of $3,500,000 is big money
in anybody's language and very little,
it any, of this sum was contributed
by those who so casually voted
on giving it away.

Jacksonville, secretary of the Boys'
Division of W. M. U. explained that
black and white delegates will "eat,
sleep, work and play" together at
the meeting which will run two days.
This all f igures and is right in line
with the interracial plan originated
in Moscow in October of 1928 when
the Comintern mapped plans for
bringing about these conditions in
the South as the first step in the
mongrelization of the white race in
the United States.
The next step will be to bring
white and colored girls together in
close contact. After that, it will be
white girls and Negro boys brought
into intimate association to finally
complete the overall program of
racial degeneracy.
We hope that this practice is
checked before it spreads and that
the ranks of Southern Baptists will
suffer no further infiltration by
subversive propaganda.
The president appointed one of the
White House ushers government secretary
of the Virgin Islands, the No.

five hundred seventy five Americans
were killed or wounded and
eight American battleships, eighty
Navy planes and ninety seven

No advance information was
furnished to American Army and
Navy officers in Honolulu although
Washington had this information
well in advance of the attack.
In the "investigation" which followed
the reputations of two innocent
men were smeared and
Roosevelt emerged unscathed.
All this is disclosed by Rear
Admiral Robert A. Theobold of the
United States Navy, retired, who
was present in Honolulu at the
time and who has spent the intervening
dozen years in research and
study of the records and who has
incorporated the documented evidence
in a book just released titled
"The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor".
Horrified Americans who read
it will either gasp, weep or swear
according to their personal reaction.
William Z. Foster
Enjoys. Immunity
In 1948 when the Communists
in New York were indicted and
charged with conspiring to violate
the Smith Act, William Z. Foster,
former head of the Communist
Party, was among the number.
When the other eleven Communists
were brought to t r ial
F oster was not among them, h is
physician having testified that he
was p hysically unable to appear.
As late as last May, the government
again moved for the trial
of Foster but the Court made a
ruling that Foster was still physically
unfit to stand trial.
In the meantime, Foster visited
the West Coast and with Harry
Bridges helped to organize Communist
Unions in that area. Also
he was active in trying to prevent
the execution of Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg as spies against this
country.
Although he was too ill to be
brought to trial for treason, he
was able to prosecute his treasonable
activities from coast to coast.
There's no.thing like having a
drag in high places.
"At the risk of being labeled a
rabble rouser, or a demagogue. or
a reactionary or what-have-you, I
am going to say that our constitutional
processes are under real
and immediate danger of being
destroyed-not by some predatory
enemy from without or by foreign
agents from within; but rather, at
the hands of the highest Court in
the land, whose sworn duty is to
guard zealously those processes"
Congressman John Bell Williams
of Mississippi.
pointed in such positions. However,
the press dispatch announcing this ap~
pointment, following the modern custom
o:f refusing to call a Negro a
Negro, does not state if the new appointee
is red, white, black or yellow.
We do not undertake to give book
reviews.
In the first place, we don't have
the space. In the second place, we do
not feel we are a qualified book reviewer
and in the third place we have
always regarded book reviewing as a
silly procedure.
No one could read a book for example
and give an interpretation of
it that would influence our opinion
of it in the least. We could only evaluate
it after we had read it ourself
and we accord this right ot individual
opinion to all others.
That is the reason why we are'\lnable
to discuss the merits of all the
wonderful books that come to us
through publishers who graciously
send us review copies.
There are two books which have
come to our attention in recent
months, however, which we highly
recommend as informative reading
for Americans who are hard put to
keep up with the fast curves and
crooked deals constantly put over by
enemies of the American Republic.
One is The Turning of the Tides by
Paul W. Shafer, member of Congress
from Michigan, with John Howland
Snow of New York, economist, worldtraveler
and all·around informed
American as co·author.
This book is a documented narrative
of the slow, steady and irisidious
infiltration of American schools, colleges
and universities by Communist
doctrines and an eye-opener to those
who are constantly baHled by the
flood of young subversives who
emerge from our educational institut
ions each year.
The other is Operation Nightmare
by Pat Barham, Paci!ic Coast newspaper
woman and war correspondent,
with Frank Cunningham of Santa
Monica, California, with a long string
of degrees to his credit, writer of
syndicated articles, author of prizewinning
books and one of the best
card-carrying Americans in the United
States as co-author.
While The Turning of the Tides a~
he;es to a discussion of Communist
infiltration of schools with such fidelity
that it would be invaluable as a
text-book in educational institutions,
Operation Nightmare covers many
subjects, all interesting. Perhaps it
could be best described as discussing
principally what goes on behind the
scenes during modern wars and police
actions, with enlightening contributions
to the sell·out of the Orient
bY: the American State Department
and the effective spread of syphillis
among American combat troops
through the Army's racial "integration"
program.
The fact that the two co-authors,
John Howland Snow and Frank Cunningham
are our personal friends
added to our appreciation of the books
of course but our thorough enjoyment
of them was not influenced by this
consideration.
Federal Government Took Away Rights of States i!nd ow the
United Nations Is Taking Away Rights of Government
How the rights o£ the American
people are subtly taken away from
them without their knowledge is
hinted at in an amazing report called
"Review of the United Nations Charter"
put out by a sub-committee of
the Untted States Senate Foregn Re~
lations Committee.
In this report known as Senate
Document 87, the views of John Foster
Dulles are given on pages 288-289
concerning the "Domestic Jurisdiction
Clause" of the United Nations Charter.
Now the Domestic Jurisdiction
Clause of the U. N. Charter defies explanation
unless one has a thousand
pages and several months time to elaborate
on it. Briefly it takes in everything
in the way of "social and economic"
problems including the right
of the World Government to supervise
every individual's activities with the
possible exception of brushing his
teeth.
This report quotes Dulles a$_ feeling
that this Domestic Jurisdictional
Clause ''engendered special problems"
in his country and suggested that we
probably would not let the World
Court, for instance, "determine the
limitations of domestic justice" and
that we probably "would not accept
the compulsory jurisdiction clause."
While he "stressed the virtue of the
principle" he expressed doubt that
the United Nations would be allowed
to "intervene in the domestic life of
the member states."
At the same time, he gave
subtle encouragement to One Worlder~
by reminding them that when the
Federal Government jn the United
States was first set up, it had practically
no power while today "the
Federal Government of the United
States exercises an authority undreamed
of when the Constitution was
formed."
Now if we can understand an im.
plication that is not spelled out in so
many words, Mr. Dulles was saying to
the One Worlders, in effect:
"The Federal government of the
United States gradually usurped the
rights of the States and while the
people squawked at first, they were ~ .
gradually whipped down. If the
World Government handles the mat-ter
the right way, the rights of the
Federal Government of the United
States can be taken over the same
way."
Anybody else is welcome to their
own interpretation of the matter but
that's ours.
It is too bad that Richard Nixon
is being rapidly whipped into line
because he was a good American
to start with and was not only
aware of the CommUnist menace
but helped to do something about
it in the case of Alger Hiss. In a
recent Detroit speech, however, he
took an oblique slap at Senator
McCarthy when he referred to the
administration's effort to protect
America from those who would
destroy freedom "without endangering
freedom in the process". •
Adlai Stevenson, or any other
ADA'er or even a Fifth Amendment
Communist could not have
said it any better.

Parent· Teacher Group
Gets Some Sound Advice
Mrs. Robert E. Meany of Chicago,
retiring head of the regional ParentTeacher
association in the Chicago
area, offered some good ad vice to the
· .,.. women of t hat group as she reli nq
uished her office.
She told them to quit wasting their
t ime on subjects of international and
human relations and warned them
that they were weakening the inf
luence of parents and teachers by
such tactics.
"Our first job is with our children
and the schools and not debating foreign
affairs'' Mrs. Meany said and
added that the "human relations"
subject always turns into a race relations
d iscussion.
The lady is exactly right. All matters
relating to "human rights" "civil
rights" 1'tolerance" and the rest of the
propaganda subjects are all part of ari
international plot, hatched in Moscow,
for mongrelization of the white race
of the United States.
The National Parent·Teacher organization
was one of the first to fall
for this propaganda and has done irreparable
harm to the best interests
or all races in this country by its con·
tinual agitation for mixing and mingling
of whites and blacks.
When Truman took over in 1945 on Roosevelt's death, he continued
the policy of slavish "friendship" for Russia, which was, as always since
the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, plotting the eventual conquest of the
world. Truman began to see the light in 1947, regarding international
Communism. But he could not or would not believe that the Reds who
had penetrated the U. S. Government were plotting its violent overthrow.
Perhaps the climax of the action which produced McCarthyism
was Truman's crack that the Agler Hiss case was a HRed herring," followed
a while later by the conviction of Hiss. Or perhaps it was Truman
's firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur for wanting to win the
Korean War. ·
Anyway, the bulk of the American people have been aware for
several years now that the Red criminal conspiracy in the United States
is real, that it means business, and that the business it means is the enslavement
of this country to Moscow and the murder of millions of
Americans.
Senator McCarthy is what you might call the living, breathing
fighting expression of that American awareness of the nature of the
Communist enemy.
If he fights dirty now and then, it is because we are all up against
the dirtiest foe imaginable.
And if his words and acts sometimes shock the feelings of refined
people, that is because you can't fight a king cobra with a perfume
atomizer.
The fierceness and toughness of McCarthy are the direct reaction
to the softness and blindness of Roosevelt and Truman toward the Communist
enemy. If those Presidents had had more sense, McCarthy would
not have been necessary.
For McCarthyism, then credit or blame-as you choose-the New
and Fair Dealers who are now screaming the loudest about McCarthyism.
They are its legitimate parents, and they look more than foolish
when they try to disown their offspring.
April, 1954
It Sounded All Right but
It Didn't Mean Anything
In a left-handed slap at the McCarthy
Committee lor its excellent work
in exposing Communists in government,
in the Army and in other strategic
positions ol trust, Attorney General
Herbert Brownell said in a teJe ..
vision address:
''The FBI, the Department of
Justice and the courts are your
agents in dealing with this Communist
conspiracy. All are vigilant
in th eir readiness to meet any move
or emergency which the Communist
Party in America might precipitate."
This all sounds very well except
that it doesn' t mean anything.
Eve ry body knows how vigilant the
FBI is and how vigilant it has always
been in flushing out Communists. But
they also know how !utile this has
been when the Department of Justice
has refused to prosecute and the
White House has suppressed the evidence
which the FBI dug up.
They have not forgotten that the
FBI warned time and again aboul
Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White
being enemy agents and the only result
was for these two traitors to be
promoted to higher and more re~ponsible
positions.
Also they have not forgotten that
it was a Federal Court which threw
out part of an indictment against
Owen Lattimore when a Committee ot
the Senate proved him guilty or perjury
in his answers to that group.
The point Brownell was apparently
trying to makC' is that investigating
committees of Congress are not necessary
in combatting the Communist
conspiracy, but we don't believe the
American peoplp will buy his idea.
A good way for the admin ist ration
to prove it is sincere in wanting to
oust Commun ists from their entrenched
positions is to quit playing petty
politics and line up solidly behind the
jnvcstigating committees of the Senate
who are getting the job done while
others in the administration merely
blow off steam.
From a subscriber in Savannah,
Georgia: I do not think you need to
'·eat crow'' concerning your origina l
views on women voters. While there
is a fine minority ol patriotic women
such as those you name, the majority
seem to be on the "liberal" s ide. I
have never seen where the League
of Women Voters have been on anyt
hing but the anti·American side. The
same goes for the American Association
o! University Women. All or the
women librarians Jn the country seem
to be "liberal" and the Federation
o! Womens Clubs vote lor international
anti·American rot. H the women
whose sons are caught like African
slaves and sent to fight useless and
non-sensical wars under a foreign
flag, would rise up in a body, thero
might be some hope."
Ray Carroll, Billings . Montana
news commentator, has his own
p ledge which all Americans worthy
of the name would do well to
make their own: "I pledge my allegiance
to the Flag of the United
States of America and to the Republic
for which it stands; one nation
indivisible with liberty and
justice for all; and I do not now,
nor will I ever. give allegiance to
the Flag of the United Nations, nor
to any other Flag which seeks to
replace the Flag of the United
States of America".
