On Communist Trend
AT Flag Day Rally

Fraternal and veterans organiza-
lions today had challenge from
Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries to lead in
the fight against Communist ele-
ments by seeking more extensive
teaching of The history and prin-
ciples of democratic government in

are not being taught the ideals of
our country" he declared last night
in a Flag Day address during exer-
cises sponsored by the Elks' Wash

of atom bombs to intimate family
relations and even of the COMPARE

Current legal rights of labor
unions constitute "class legislation
which, if not curbed, will eventually
lead to dictatorship" Gen. Fries

mented:
1T is a travesty on our civiliza-
ton that two men could even
threaten to call a world srtike

No Communist, whether foreign
or native-born, should be per-
mitted to hold United States citi-
zenship. Gen. Fries declared.

Wechsler, resigning bureau chief
said.

of the Harvard Law School, the
arbitrator, ruled yesterday that PM
was acting in good faith in dis

reasons and said it had offered to
transfer the three employees in the
case to New York, but they had re-
fused. Mr.. Murray said they first
were told they were to be dismissed
and commended the subsequent offer

faith.
