Carlson Says Catholic
Paper 'Smeared' Him
In Story Of Assault
BY fhe Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. n-John Roy
Carlson, 81, author Of Under Cover
and The Plotters." said today that
the Tablet, official organ of the
Brooklyn Catholic Diocese, had made
q smear attack" on him In Its
comment on report to police by
Carlson, that he was beaten on q
Brooklyn street by three men after
leaving a meeting.
The Tablet said today that "no
one saw the fight, not even the in
habitants Of the house on the busy
street where the supposed slugging
took place"
The publication added that doc
tor at Holy Family Hospital who
examined Carlson said he found
three bumps on his head but there
was no discoloration, no scratch, no
scar, no black and blue mark on
any of them"
Told Police He was Beaten.
Carlson told police he was beaten
early last Saturday after attending
meeting of the Women for the
United States of America, Inc
The author declared that the Tab
let and others had been attacking
him because of my democratic
views for nearly four years." He is
sued this statement:
THE hospitals diagnosis of a
slight conclusion which was made
to reporters on the night of the at
tack. is amazingly contradicted by
the Tablets allegations. The story
is false and distorted in many re-
spects. The original report was
given to newsmen by a hospital ply
sician and no one else.
Unfortunately, I was assaulted
about the head and face and lay
dazed and unconscious until I re-
covered. The injection of befuddling
issues will only provoke passions and
hamper police in apprehending the
criminals"
Says He Isn't Surprised.
The statement continued:
"The Tablet and others have at
tackled me for my democratic views
for nearly four years. Some have
now stopped calling me Communist
because of my expressed opposition
to it (communism in my new book
(The Plotters). am not at all sur
prised at the new smear attack"
Carlson, whose real name is Arthur
A. Derounian, visited the Brooklyn
meeting in search for materials.
He said the three men struck him
by surprise. When he regained con-
sciousness he was lying in door,
way. He had not been robbed.
The physician who treated Carl
son asked that his name be with
held but said in comment on the
article in the Tablet that Carlson
had not suffered conclusion and
did not have bruises or lacerations.
He said Carlson returned on We'd
nesday, complaining of headaches,
and still had three bumps on his
head which were present at the
time of the first examination.

Poppies are being made for the
Auxiliary in veterans hospitals and
convalescent workshops in every
part of the country, said Mrs. Ster-

little red flowers of remembrance
are expected to be completed before
Poppy day, May "a. The peoples
which will be distributed here are
being made by disabled veterans at
Fort Harrison.
Veterans are paid by the Auxil-
for their work as fast as the
poppies are completed. The money
not only enables the disabled men
to contribute to the support of their
but also gives the men the
encouraging experience of being
to do productive work again.
The work itself is valuable to them
as occupational therapy.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIHT - / have been watching
the goings on among the rank and

these many years and have noted
their varying reactions to different
conditions and circumstances with
which the average persons come

rank and file Parish Streeter, be
it he or she, is when strutting
down the Ole Avenue in new
suit out-and-out especially after
having sojourned in front of a
mirror somewhere along the line
to acquire that degree of self
satisfaction which one is able to
get from time to time with ones
own self. Up to a few days
ago I had come to the. opinion
that I never would see a Parish
Streeter exhibiting greater pride
but l learn better as we
gathered around our Fish and Beer
and the subject comes up about
who had paid their poll tax and
when ever a fellow reached back
in his pocket and brought out
his poll tax receipt and when he
said he had paid his poll tax
and registered there was a look
of pride in his eye that even
7 had never seen before, and when
a fellow said that he had regis
tered there was a pride of man
hood some fleeing moment in his
eyes that was beyond describing
and I believe that the only was
you feel such pride is to register
which you can still do even
though the time for paying poll
tax is passed.
