Sc je Matuhu Sc zabliskalo, da

Vojaki so ga sedaj prenehali

zili in oba sta jih cato skupila.

da tudi sedaj nj bilo zivega gla-
su liz soda.
sprevod je prisel ma konec
vasi Ia zadnjo hiso Sc je
zacel breg, XII Sc je strmo ma
gibal proti dolini. Prebivalstvo
je morale vstopiti v polkrogu,
sredi katerega je negibno lezal
crni sod. Okrog MEGA so Sc
blescali ma pol mrtvaski obrazi
esesovcev.
Tedaj Sc je eden izmed ese-
sovcev nogo zaletel v sod, ga
odrinil ceste proti bregu in
sod Sc je zacel pocasi kotaliti po
strmini navzdol. S kraja je bill
svet travnat in gladek in sodo-
va pot je bila mirna. Potem so
Sc zacele njive z razori in braz-
dami in sod je kmalu zacel od-
skakovati. CHM nize Sc je sod ko-
tall, tenn wise je tudi odskako-
val. Ko je bill ze sredi brega, So
vojaki zaceli streljati "a sodom,
ko da bi bila to leteca tarca.
Streljali vo vedno hujse, CHM
hujse je sod odskakoval. Neka-
teri vojaki so tudi vpili.
Doll pred dolino je bill visok
neorani rob cd njive. Cez ia rob
Sc je sod zaletel vso silo, od-
skocil visoko v zrak in v veil
KEN loku padel ma cesto, XII je
sla spodaj pod njivo, ter Sc raz-
letel. Toda njegova vsebina je
Sc enkrat odletela v Arak in lju-
die so videli, kako so sfrcale do

dala po zraku Sc neka druga
masa, XII nj bila nicemur po-
dobna in XII je potem, ko je pri-
letela ma zemljo, negibno oble-
zala ma mestu.
Ko so domaci gledali ia pri-
zor, i'm je zastajala kri po Ii
lah. Ker sc pa tista crna gmo-
ia po dolini nj vec ganila, so Sc
pocasi zopet umirili, ker so 81
mislili: "Zdaj je koneano tudi

= Vojaki pa so Sc pri tenn pri-
zoru obnasali kakor obsedeni.
In ko Sc je sod naposled razle-
tel, so zagnali tax huronski

odloeilno zmago.

Pristopil je vojak S pestjo

zacel zabijati zeblje v doge. Sc

gress forthwith bit the dust. 1t was
not in keeping, Senator McGrath
told reporters, with administration
efforts to get bipartisan support
during the current crisis.
This was shrewdly done on sew
eral counts. A major complaint
against ex-Chairman Hannegan's
stand-in, Gael Sullivan, has been
his tendency to sound off against
the Republicans just when their
cooperation was being sought in
crucial matters. Republican Ma
tional Chairman Reece would nat
urally reply and a whole train of
would be set in mo-
ton. On one such occasion. Presi-
dent Truman more or less publicly
spanked Mr.. Sullivan. |
Senator McGrath obviously has a
good memory. Also a Senator him.
self, he knows how Senators Bark
ley. Connally, ct al, feel when party
headquarters blows a cold breeze on
their efforts to WOO Republican CO.
operation.
Welcomes Authority.
The committee, which, of course.
knows the hollow ring of all such
resolutions, didn't care. And it af-
welcomed the sound of
robust authority after more than a
year of uncertainty and drifting
while President Truman and Mr..
Hannegan made up their minds
about the future.
The concession to the. Southern
States by way of increasing their
convention strength was another
tactful gesture for which Senator
McGrath shares credit. The Solid
South has been smarting for years
over the abolition of the two-thirds
rule, which so long enabled it to
exercise veto power over any can
didate before the convention.
The old rule, requiring two
thirds majority to nominate, gave
the forces of Franklin Roosevelt
considerable trouble when he was
first nominated in 80. In SO, at the
height of Roosevelt's power, the then
dominant New Dealers and Eastern
ers killed it so that nomination now
is by simple majority. Senator Nc
Grath is both an fastener and a
New Dealer but he co-operated to
give the conservative South some of
the reward they claim for party
regularity.
Performs In Character.
Not all the liberal wing are happy
about the change which took the
form of an increase In the delegate
bonus granted States which went
Democratic in 1914. AS always, they
are alert to any turn to the right
and they feel President Truman is
making good many, his support of
Senator McGrath being an out
standing exception to the recent
trend of his appointments.

lywood are active members of the
Communist Party, or closely affill-
ated with that party, that is to say,
whether they are fifth columnists
working for a foreign power under
the protection of the American
Constitution.
Communists throughout the world
regardless of their birthplace or
nationality-are subservient tools of
Moscow and are compelled to give
complete allegiance to the head of
the Communist Party in Moscow
Their citizenship in other countries
serves only as cloak for the Krem-
Inns various plans.
A decade or so ago this was not
clearly apparent. Most people be-
lieved that the Communist parties
in the United States, France and
other non-Russian countries were
mere followers of a political and
social doctrine. The war made 1t
clear that this is not the case.
Gold War" Being Waged.
The American Communists and
their fellow travellers were more
vociferous than the America First
ers in their propaganda against this
country becoming involved in the
"capitalistic world war" At that
time Joseph Stain was Hitler's ally
and had given the coup de grace to
the Poles who fought the Nazis with
their backs to the wall
The day after Hitler's attack on
Russia the Communists and fellow
travellers in this country became
violently interventionist. After
Pearl Harbor they became "patri-
otic," but their patriotism" closely
followed the Moscow party line.
They joined in their masters de-
mand for an American invasion of
France as early as 1912, disregard
ing the fact that we were not yet
prepared for such a difficult opera
ton, the success of which required
millions of men and tens of thou
sands Of planes. Such forces were
not available at that time. =

"a second danger is that the pro-
cedure by which the loyalty of ac-
cused Federal employees is deter
mined may not accord with our ira
ditions of due process Of law. An
employe whose loyalty is questioned
is not charged with a crime. But
loss of job and inability to obtain
another is a severe punishment to
impose on any man.
Accordingly, provision should be
made for such traditional pro-
cedural safeguards as the right to a
bill of particular accusations, the
right to subpoena witnesses and
documents where genuine security
considerations permit, the right to
be represented by counsel, the right
to stenographic report of pro-
ceedings, the right to a written de-
cision and the right of appeal.
Right to Speak Freely.
More than the civil rights of Our
1000 900 Federal workers-important
as they are-is involved here. All
Americans are bound to be affected
by what is done. The Federal Gov
ernment must maintain loyalty
program which adequately protects
the civil rights of its employees.
Otherwise private employers and
and local governments may not pro-
tect the rights of their personnel,
and in fact they may actually be en-
couraged to infringe these rights.
1T is a severe penalty to be dis
charged from the Government for
disloyalty, as the Supreme Court
pointed out in 1916 in United States
versus Lovett. Our system of demo-
cratic justice has proved again and
again its ability to protect us in
peace and in war. To make con-
spicuous departure from it against
Government workers would surely
weaken the safeguards of the right
of all citizens to speak freely and 10
organize in furtherance of their
opinions"
It is a good report and it Is hereby
recommended to the attention Of the
un-American Activities Committee
and to the author of the President s
Loyalty Order.
