IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory Of our dear son. father
and brother. Leon Jones, who died one
year ago, February s, 1916:
Softly the stars are cleaning
Upon n pleasant grave.
Where slcspeth without dreaming
One we love but could not save:
He bid no one n last farewell,
He said goodbye 10 none
And when the evening shades are falling
And | am sitting all alone,
In my heart comes . longing.
II you could only come back home
Oft and oft my thoughts do wander
To your grave not far away,
Where In sorrow We laid you
Just one year ago to-day.
Sadly missed by Mrs. Martha Jones.

Mcclellan Declares
LiIienthaI Ran IVA
On Dictator Pattern
By the Associated Press

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, o1
Tennessee declared today that David
E. Lilienthal had exercised dicta-
torial control over the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
Opposing Mr.. Lilienthal's nomina-
ton for chairman of the Atomic
Control Commission, Senator Nc
Kellar sought to prove by questions
lin a Senate Atomic Committee
hearing that the former IVA ad-
ministrator believes in "one-mar
government"
Mr.. Lilienthal, seated nearby
vigorously denied holding any such
views.
You don't believe in government
by law, do you?" the Tennessee SEN
ator asked. ..
Mr.. Lilienthal replied that he die
not know any other kind of gov
eminent. He thinks the right kind
of men are needed to run any gov
ernmept, he added.
! Senator Mcclellan read a quota
ton from Current Biography OF
1914" in which Mr.. Lilienthal was
represented as saying: Our gov
ernment, and every government, is
and must be government of men
and not of law"
Mr.. Lilienthal said this quotation
had been taken from the text of
some of his writings. 1t was his
view, he said, that the mere passage
of laws would not fulfill the require
ments of god government unless
there were good men available to
administer them.
do you know any difference be-
tween those views and the views OF
Premier Stain of Russia?" Senator
McKellar demanded. "He believes
in government of men-one man
and don't you?"
NO." Lihenthal replied.
That's the kind of government
you had in IVA, wasn't it?" Senator
McKellar said.

Communists Friends
InfiIiraie Staffs on
Hill, La Toilette Writes

Communist sympathizers have
4infiltrated' into the stats of at
least five congressional committees,
Robert M. La Toilette. jr. former
Senator from Wisconsin, charged in
an article printed in the current
issue Of Golfers magazine.
He said the Civil Service Commits
sion has 100000 names of suspected
Communist sympathizers but only
enough funds to investigate 1,500
cases this fiscal year. Congress, he
stated, has pursued a persistent but
futile" course against Government
employed Communists and fellow
travellers.
The following committees were
listed by the former Senator as
those who filled staff jobs with fell
low travellers:
Senator Civil Liberties Commit
tee Gas of few years ago., sub
committee of the Senate Commit
tee on Education and Labor; the
Pepper Subcommittee on Wartime
Health and Education, the Kilgore
Subcommittee on War Mobilization
and the Murray Special Committee
on Small business.
Gain Access to Files.
BY getting on committee stats,
Communists and their sympathizers
are admitted to executive meetings
Of the committees and have access
to the files, he said, adding:
ION several occasions 7 have had
the revealing experience of receiv-
ing prompt protests and advice from
strange and remote sources the day
after I had voiced anti-C Communist
sentiments or voted contrary to the
prevailing Communist Party line in
executive sessions that were wholly
unreported in the press. Such re-
actions could lot occur without an
effective grapevine"
Urges Constant Exposure.
Mr.. La Toilette also said trade
unions are by no means uniformly
infested" but added the following
'left wing unions of the CIO are
sympathetic 10 the Communist
Party line:
United Electrical, Radio and Ma
chine Workers, Fur and Leather
Workers, Transport Workers, Inter
