ty" manifesto our new foreign policy appointment
of Blk special investigator of alleged oil company
maefactions in the middle eastand in retrospect the
Wheeler opposition to the United Nations, to perma
nent FEPC ETC.. the Smith ''mouthing' to take
on considerable significance.
Certain ramfcations of the much heralded loyalty"
test have not been too widely pubcized. These in
cude l. The attorney general shall have the final word
to what constitutes "subversive" organization;
2. Informers encouragement to testify, shall have
their identity kept secret from the accused disloya
government employee.
These two points are selfexplanatory Under point
the attorney general for all practical purposes be-
the Heinrich Himmler of the coming American
dictatorship. Under point 2 the constitutionay of
which is to be questioned when takes into consd-
GRAFTON Bill of Rights the accused employe would
be denied the right of crosexaminaton of his
1t follows also that said would be presumed
guilty until he proved otherwse-and here again
find radical departure from traditional American
concept of law that :" man is innocent until
proved guilty :"
Our foreign policy of bolsterng reactionary
government wherever found, despite the overwhelming
objections of Americas people, further points up the
need for having Gerald L. K. Smith "choice" at the
head of the Department of Justice and the number
overload the Federal Bureau of Investigation
You can't effectively big stick in corner
of the world unless you have solidarity the home
front To ensure this solidarity" it then follows that
all dssdents must be sienced made Intellectual How
better do than to have the attorney general stg
Matte all opposing groups 'subversve". After last
July's primary you not dear reader gain graphic
picture of the organizations and individuals here in
Montana who would be designated ''un-American,
should the Hon. Burton Kendall become the attorney
general? Certainly if you reflect the implications
of the Wheeler 'whtewash" senate hearings in Helena,
you gain all too vivid picture of his honor in
such a position.
What has his appointment special investigator
middle east oil affairs to do with the Smith proposal
Reflect back almost quarter of century. Remember
what good job this astute senator did in exposing the
Tea Pot Dome-Sincair Oil-Harry Daugherty scandal?
ct makes mind that shortly after the principal
maleacors of the Harding hierarchy discredited
that Standard Oil slipped quietly in and took the
Tea Pot Dome reserves) Anyway, in the decade fol
lowing Tea Pot Dome, Blk frequently popped into the
news lmeght the FACE" investigating senator But
more recently, because of his prewar America First
activities, his untmey outbursts during the etc,
the public has kind of forgotten his earlier accomplish
nents'. How better could he bouncing back
middle eastern oil? In his role he can disclose
many Startling" Developments hit the banner lines, and
once again prove to and all that there mi
Iuous activities too secret for his sensitive that
is the most perfectly equipped in the country
ferret out those terrible reds and again make
America and the world safe for democracy.
Does it not become abundantly apparent why your
Olumnist is gravey concerned the possibility of
such appointment?
