Radio Undermining Monroe Doctrine
European Fascist Stations Broadcast Programs That Erode
Our Poicy-But There's No Violation

Centralized control" economic ex-
,pansion for the state" and the like.
One unonacial authority in WASH
ington, who Is in position to analyze
flrst-hand reports from South America,
puts 1t like this:
THE fact Is that the South Ameri-
can nations commonly labeled Fascist
are not Fascist in the italian sense
nor is the Latin American group that
bears the Communist stamp Com
munistic in the Russian sense. South
American dictatorships now are what
they always were-minority groups OF
strong-arm leaders controlling nations
with the aid Of armies
Here's where the rub comes:
United States of1icials-and many
business men, for that matter-fear
that the constant use Of political Ian
guage and labels of Europe ultimately
may lead South American nations and
the world at large to believe Com
munism and Fascism Of the European
variety actually have taken root right
at our own doorstep.
If that should occur, then these
ticklish question would have to be
answered:
Would European Fascist and Com
munist nations be able to gain an
economic perch in South America ut
the expense Of the great democracies?
And, more important, would such q
movement finally force the United
States either to defend the Monroe
Doctrine or cease to consider 1t Is q
matter Of foreign policy?
Only the future can tell, but for
the time being it can be said on reliable
authority that the economic ties be-
tween the United States and South
America are holding fast. Brazil, the
latest South American nation that
has reverted to dictatorship, has taken
great pains to assure the United States

TINE news that Brazil has Joined

home to ofncial Washington
generally q fact that has long har-

Radio waves are constantly under

time-honored barrier against Euro

(1n case you've forgotten, President
Monroe told European nations ia
years ago that We would keep hands
off Europe, and expected, in return,
that they would keep their colonizers
and their political systems out Of the
Western Hemisphere.)
But here is what has been happen
ing:
l. European radio stations-espe-
cially German. Italian and Russian
have been broadcasting news and
entertainment programs to Latin
Americans in their own languages for
several years.
2. These broadcasts naturally re-
nect Fascist and Communistic sys-
TENS in a highly favorable light and
constantly use labels and terms that
60 with those SYSTEMS.
3. Some South American newspapers
pick up this information daily and re-
distribute 1t in printed form.
All of this means that the Monroe
Doctrine Is daily suffering erosion
from Europe, and yet the doctrine is
not being violated. Any nation may
broadcast information and entertain
ment.
Meanwhile. South Americans are
growing more and more familiar with
Fascist and Communist ideas and
labels. such as the cooperative state"

The United States has five short-wave

b[ACKMA|L TRIAL
BRINGS ACQU|TTAL
Mrs. Krieger and Attorney
Frooks Cleared of
All CharueS.

Mrs. Mary Krieger, former Okla
homa school teacher, and Samuel l..
Frooks, New York attorney, today
were free of all charges that they
blackmailed the late Carroll Pierce,
Alexandria banker.
A jury in District Court exonerated
the pair late yesterday after deliberat-
ing more than 25 hours
The jury acquitted the defendants
on both counts of an indictment
charging blackmail and conspiracy to
blackmail.
Efforts Held Legitimate.
BY the verdict, the jury held that
EFFORTS OF the pair to collect $2,500
from Pierce were legitimate and in
tended solely to compel him to pay
damages for his failure to employ
Mrs. Krieger in his bank.
The Government contended the
"breach of contract" claim was
subterfuge employed to frighten the
banker into paying money under
threat of exposing alleged intimacies
with Mrs. Krieger.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's inter-
rupted another case yesterday to hear
the jury's verdict. Mrs. Krieger shook
hands jublantly with the jurors as
they left the court room and then
telephoned the news to her 16-year-
old daughter Rosemary, who had been
defense witness.
Attorney Explains Part.
The 38-year-old woman did not
take the witness stand. Frooks testi-
fed in his own behalf, explaining he
was employed by Mrs Krieger to press
her claim against the banker. He
denied knowledge of the intimate re-
lationships between Mrs. Krieger and
Pierce alleged by the Government.
Mrs. Krieger was represented by
John j. McGinnis and Frooks by Will
liam r. Berkson and Henry Gross
man. The case was prosecuted by
United States Attorney Leslie C. Gar
nett and his assistant, Roger Robb.
