Americans Back Stand
In Ber|ih Congress
Groip Tells Gen. Clay
BY the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-A group Of
visiting Congressman said today
that American lawmakers land the
American people" are solidly behind
the American Governments deter
mination to remain in Berlin.
Representative Bates, Republican,
of Massachusetts told Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, American commander in
Germany, after a three-day visit:
We're behind you 100 per cent.
And Congress is behind you because
the people want it that way
Mr.. Bates spoke for five colleagues
after the group met with Gen. Clay
in his military government offices.
The general hurried back from Paris
to greet the six members OF the
House Armed Services Committee
who are touring Germany and Aus
tria.
Clay Talks With Marshall.
Gen. Clay conferred in Paris all
morning with Secretary of State
Marshall The general and his po-
litical adviser, Ambassador Robert
Murphy, gave Gen. Marshall a COM
plete picture of the situation here
prior to the Secretary's return to
Washington to review world prob
lens with President Truman Mon
day.
The lawmakers delayed their de-
parture for Vienna until tomorrow
so they would have a chance to dis
cuss the German problem with Gen.
Clay. Most of their questions dealt
with the Berlin airlift. The general
assured them it would work
throughout the winter.
Representative Price, Democrat,
of Illinois said the delegation was
convinced that America has to
stick it out here and not let Berlin
become another Munich" Mr.. Price
said the group had been impressed
with the work of the airlift and
what it has done TO lift the morale
of the blockaded people of Western
Berlin in their fight against Com
munist domination"
The Russians, meanwhile, de-
clared in their official press that the
elected government of Berlin had
ceased to exist. All major Commu-
mist newspapers appeared with big
headlines and editorials proclaim
ing Berlin is without government"
This was seen as an indication
that the Russians were nearly ready
to install a hand-picked Communist
regime in their sector of the city.

Some of the Nations most staunc

Some Of the Nations most staunch
citizens are up in arms today about
what they consider a vicious sub
versive attack" on the basic Amer
ican traditions.
The alarmed citizens are members
of the Society of Mayflower Descen-
dants-all of whom claim ancestors
who came over on the Mayflower.
The object Of their wrath is book
called Saints and Strangers"-an
account of the Founding Fathers
far different from the schoolbooks.
The Mayf1ower descendants said
Saints and Strangers" claimed the
Pilgrims were not the saints" pic
tured in the textbooks, were all
pretty lowbrow, some may have
committed murder, and probably
none of them ever set foot on Plym-
outh Rock.
If that isn't enough to outrage
any ancestors, the Descendants want
to know the reason why-and they
aren't the least concerned that it's
taken them three years to set about
doing something about it. (The
book, by George Finley Wilson,
was published in l945.)
