Presidents Freeing Of Reds Re-
 YeaIS New Attitude

Washington. Jan. 3.-As far as the White House and the State Depart mont are concerned, the open sea son on the Reds seems 10 be over,
 Even the Department of Labor appears 10 have adopted q more lib- eraI policy in considering the admis- sion or deportation Of persons hold ing radical political beliefs.
 Various states and municipalities enjoy dragging Communists 10 jail as soon as they open their mouths often imprisoning them for long terms, but Washington no longer sets the example.
 Alarming the Patriots
 This fact has been giving the pro fesSional super patriots here q pain in the neck. For the first time they are in the same position as the Reds that is, they become group Of malcontents dissatisfied with the government. In order to raise money they must sell the idea that presi dent Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson aren't as patriotic as they are.
 Hoover in his time has hollered as loudly about the 'BolShcvill men- acc" as anyone. but the other day when he had 50 or 40 young folks ! who had staged a Communist dem ! onstration near the White House ! turned loose by the police he indi- | cated $ change Of policy toward such ! demonstrations. Gal Coolidge sat in | the White House time and again when participants in them were cart 1 cd off to the hoose~oW, without ever d word.
 Of course. the thing was Ovcrdonc. i In announcing th" presidential attl- tudc, Secrctary Gcorgo Akcrson, with his customary air of unctuous super iority. felt called upon 10 lower the White House dignity with contempt | uous references 10 "disCourtoSy' and 1 "chcap martyrdom' The poor nin- nics at the jail undoubtedly thrilled at the thought that they were con | sidorcd worthy Of this outburSt. Ncv- crtheless, if thcr" are no more such parades near tho White House it will indicate that the Communists are disappointed at being neither jailed nor fined. In the past they have often put the White House reporters and photographers in their debt by cnlivoning dull days.
 The more liberal attitude which has become apparent here doesn mean that the government IS getting soft or that the country is going tc the dogs. It seems rather 10 mean that Hoover and Stimson are tired of having the country made ridicu' lous by such actions as gave Secre' tary of State kellogg, the nickname of Nervous Nellic.'
 The decision 10 admit the Coun and Countess KaroIyi into the coun try is the most significant indicator 10 date. The KarOlyis are Socialists and Kellogg and his predecesSo Hughes insisted that they mustn' come in. Np roacon wac ever SiNel % everyone assumed il was just be
