School Official Hits Report.
In Seattle, Bert MacLeech, edu-
cational director of the Seattle La
Dor School, said, "The position OF
the school has been clear from the
outset. 1t was organized by and
for unions interested in the demo-
cratic, cooperative and scientific ap-
proach to the problems of labor
and the community"
He denounced Mr.. Clarks action
as IAN example of the alarming and
increasing trend toward thought
control by the use of fear and smear
tactics"
Regional CIO Director Roy w.
Atkinson said the school has need
ed to be called for its radical activi-
ties for long time"
Under President Truman's execu-
tive order of last March, the Justice
Department was required TO furnish
the board with "the name of each
foreign or domestic organization. as
sociation, movement, group or COM
bination of persons which the At
torney General, after appropriate
investigation and determination,
designates as totalitarian, Fascist.
Communist, or subversive, or as hav-
| ing adopted a policy of advocating
or approving the commission of acts
| of force or violence to deny others
their rights under the Constitution
of the United States, or as seeking
to alter the form of Government of
the United States by unconstitu-
tional means"
The Attorney General said the list
was prepared with the aid of FBI
files.
Mr.. Clark wrote the board:
I'm connection with the designa-
ton of these organizations I wish
to reiterate, as the President has
pointed out, that it is entirely pos
sible that many persons belonging to
such organizations may be loyal to
the United States: that membership
in, affliation with or sympathetic
association with, any organization
designated, is simply one piece of
evidence which may or may not be
helpful in arriving at conclusion
as to the action which is to be taken
in a particular case.
"'Guilt by association has never
been one of the principles of our
American Jurisprudence. We must
be satisfied that reasonable grounds
exist for concluding that an indi-
vidual is disloyal. That must be the
guide.
"The organizations named in this
letter do not represent complete
or final compilation. For example,
number Of small and local organ
izations are not listed. AS to many
organizations not named, the pres
emily available information is in
sufficient to warrant a final deter
mination as to their character.
Others, presently innocuous. may
become the victims of dangerous
infiltrating forces and, as conse-
quence, become proper subjects for
designation. New organizations may
come into existence whose purposes
and activities are in conflict with
loyalty to the United States.
Other Names in Prospect.
From time to time, therefore, as
contemplated and directed by the
executive order, there will be fur
nished to the board the names Of
those additional organizations and
groups as to which the information
received by this department, result
ing from continued investigation,
indicates similar designations are
required"
The Attorney General recalled
that under the executive order of
February S, 1943, the Justice De-
partment named number Of
organizations as subversive" He
said it included these organizations:
American League Against War
and Fascism
