c. I. o. We picked up a lot Of com.
munists In one unit after another
rs We grew including Harry
Bridges But II had not resigned
the Craftsmanship and left the G.
I. o. in 1910, 7 can tell you the
communists would have been weed
ed out Of the G. I. o. long before
now.
Instead, as anyone might expect
who has seen them throw their
weight around inside labor organi-
zations, the communists dominate
the O. I. o. today. Today Philip
Murray Is the prisoner Of the COM
ntunists In his own union. They
control him and the G. /. o,
through their seats on his execu-
tive committee. And there isn't q
blessed thing he can do about 1t,
Sidney Hillman Is just as badly
of. They have got to play ball
with communists now--or die.
This Is the way communism
takes hold. This Is the way 1t en-
dangers the labor movement, and
our country. For the same thing
happens to governments. Comlnun-
ism has an anti-natural and basi-
cally anti-economic quality. History
shows that communism Is only COM
patible with primitive and under
nourished economic surroundings
In Its control and destruction II
does not distinguish error from
truth, good from evil, justice from
Injustice. It does not care for his
tory or the experience Of humanity
for freedom or for the dignity Of
man. And the last thing on earth
the American communists are in-
tereSted In Is the American way
Of life.

Poll Tax Bill Debate
Opens May9, but Vote
Is Believed Blocked

Senate leaders today decided to
begin debate May on the poll tax
repeal BILL but all signs indicated
that advocates of the measure will
be unable to bring it to final
vote.
The decision to move for consid-
Grafton of the measure week from
next Tuesday was reached at con-
ference in the Office of Majority
Leader Barkley, attended by Sem
ators on both sides of the fight.
Among those present were Chair
man McCarran of the judiciary
Committee, which recommended the
bill; Senator Mcfarland, Democrat,
of Arizona, who reported it, and
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York who probably will make the
motion to take it up.
Among opponents of the bill pres
ent were Senators Mcclellan, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee; Eastland, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, and Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia.
With Southern Senators ready to
filibuster against final vote on the
bill, the only chance of passage
hinges on move to invoke the
rarely-used cloture rule, which
would limit each Senator to one hour
of debate. Cloture, however, re-
quires two-thirds, and unofficial
polls indicate less than a majority
IN favor of cloture. Some Senators
believe AZ votes will be cast for
cloture, but one well-informed
source predicted not more than 38.
If cloture is proposed and beaten,
the bill probably will be laid aside
for the rest of this year, to make
way for appropriation bills.

Navy Cites Three Rules
On Clearing Critical News
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy said today "the gen.
eral policy" of it's Bureau of Pub
lie Relations" is to clear any crit
ical information providing the
criticism does not endanger pres
ent or future naval operations.
This statement of policy which
Capt. Leland P. Lovette, public re-
lationS director, said has been in
effect since the war started, was
contained in instructions sent to
public relations officers responsible
for clearing news stories written
by correspondents in the field.
Three rules were given:
"(A) If the facts are false, or II
the author is not acquainted with
the full facts, explain the full sit
uation to him, leaving it to his dis
cretion as to whether or not he
will publish the critical informa-
ton. Do not delete criticism.
"(B) If the facts are true. and
no security is involved, clear the
article.
.(C) If the facts, whether true
or false, are used to justify criti-
'cism in matters Of high policy
which the individual officer may
feel Is beyond his authority to ham
die, forward the article to this Of
flee for final decision"

broadcaSts, owl said, in attempts
to worry men at lonely outposts
about the fidelity of wives or sweet
hearts.
Other leaflets lampoon both po-
litical and military leaders, some
suggesting that G. I. Joe is a
sucker to fight for the higher-ups.
Some of the leaflets attempt to
persuade the American soldier that
life would be far easier in a jap
anese prison camp. It's apparent
that the Nipponese poster artists
have yet to see an American soldier
of this war, since they depict him
as wearing campaign hat that
was G. I. before 1918.
A favorite leaf1et trick is to
have two pictures surmounting one
printed suggestion. For instance,
one inscription attacking Secretary
of War Stinson and Secretary of
the Navy Knox-collectively referred
to as "the honorable colonel'-shows
a soldier above a desolated battle
field and a white tie and evening
gown group at home clinking cham

complaints brought against the seller
and purchaser, upholding the con-
ltention of defense counsel, Alfred
A. Albert of the Civil Liberties Union,
that those complaints were brought
under an obsolete law that made it
a criminal offense to sell, possess or
purchase literature containing inde-
cent or obscene passages. He agreed
current law made it necessary to
judge complete publication, rather
than part of it.
Police Sergt. Joseph Breen, who
brought the original complaints,
then conferred with Attorney Albert
and obtained complaints under the
revised law and Judge Stone gave
the new complaints immediate hear
ing.
The court said there was no law
against purchasing an obscene book,
and dismissed charges against Mr..

Hitch-Hiking Gunman
Gets 12-Year Sentence

Floyd Junior Madison, 18, Still

years in the Maryland Penitentiary
in Prince Georges County Circuit
Court at Upper Marlboro yesterday
after he pleaded guilty to charges
of robbery and assault with intent
to kill. He received five years on
the robbery charge, and seven years
on the assault charge.
Madison was arrested last Oc-
tober after he robbed 1t. q. g.
David L. Seidel, 25, Takoma Park,
on road near Greenbelt, and then
shot him in the neck. 1t. Seidel
had picked up Madison at Bladens-
burg. When arrested, police said,
Madison told them he shot to death
James E. Long, an Oklahoma high
way patrolman, in 1912.
Oklahoma authorities recently
came to Marlboro to question
Madison, but LETT without him. It
was reported later that the youth
was in a cell at the Oklahoma State
Reformatory at the time of the
