Adumson Charges
BY the Associated Press

Ernie Adamsbn, chief counsel
for the House Committee on I'm
American Activities, says there
is a conspiracy" afoot to foment
revolution in this country
through general strike or
otherwise.
The matter is dealt with in for
NAL report which Mr.. Adamson has
given the committee. The docu-
ment summarizes information as
senbled by his staff during 1946.
Although printed by the Govern
ment Printing Office, the report has
not yet been approved formally by
the committee.
Besides referring to the revolution
conspiracy" the report (A contains
critical references to representatives
of foreign governments attached to
the. United States, CD claims that
II important labor unions are con-
trolled by Communists and Co calls
the Library of Congress a haven
for aliens and foreign-m minded Amer
leans"
Warns of Foreign Enemies.
OF the general findings, Mr. Adam
son wrote:
This committee cannot emphasize
too strongly to the House and to
the country the danger from this
fifth column within our gates which
follows with blind obedience the
dictates of Moscow. They must be
recognized for what they are-the
agents of foreign government and
enemies of our American system"
:, During the last two years, Mr..
Adamson declared, most of Europe
has succumbed to "a worldwide on
slaught from the totalitarian left"
and England is en- route" thus
leaving the United States "the main
bulwalk against this onslaught"
The chief counsel said deep in
roads" already have been made in
this country by the forces of COM
munism and they have succeeded
in entrenching themselves in Gov
ernment, labor and education"
I'm the opinion of the commit
tee," Mr.. Adamson continued, ''the
most serious penetration has been
within the labor movement, where
the Communists dominate II vital
unions of the CIO-unions so vital
that our very national security is
dependent upon them"
Attend Communist Meetings.
During the last six months, Mr..
Adamson reported, the committee
has found that numerous repre-
sentatives of foreign nations who
are attached to the United Nations
have been attending meetings sporl-
sored by the Communist fronts in
the United States and addressing
the audiences upon matters affect
ing the United Nations.
However, in every instance,
these United Nations representa-
tives are presenting one-sided opin-
ions directed in favor of the Rus
sian foreign policy and the nations
which they themselves represent"
Mr.. Adamson recommended that
the State Department formally pro-
test against such activities.
Excerpts from the report include
these observations by the attorney
investigator for the committee:
l. Many persons accepted for en-
ployment in the reorganized Legis- |
lative Reference Department of the
Library of Congress have had ex-
tensive associations with agencies or
societies who have shown inclina-
ton to change the economy, if not
the Constitution, of the United
States"
2. "The committee feels that a
careful examination of the facts
justifies the assertion that the Com
munist Party of the United States
is a. foreign-inspired conspiracy
masked as a political party
The Communists realize that the
Communist plan of creating unem-
ployment IN the United States is the
only medium through which they
can possibly gain control of the
