 Tn the first place. of the six-man committee that drafted the resolu- ei0n. two religiotisly follow the Communist party line. and one is mn open member of the National Committee of the Communist Party Under these circumstances, Mr. Murray. Is t surprising to you that your resolution was hailed by the Daily Worker7 As were you personality Do you think the Daily Worker would praise you if you were really attacking the Comfnunists7
