Blow AT Civil
Liberty In
America

New York, July 26 - She Civil
Rights Congress today issued the
following statement in connection
with the Indictment of leaders of
the Communist Party of the I'M
tied States. The statement signed
by George Marshall, Chairman of
the Board of Directors and Len
Goldsmith, National Director, said
that 'the indictments issued by
the lame duck grand jury against
leaders of the Communist Party
represents a severe blow to civil
liberties in America. The UMPIRE
cedented step of SURPRISING the
cause of indictment of a large
number of men and women SIM
ultaneously, proves that the sole
purpose of the Grand Jury is to-
suppress the Communist Party of
the United States. This political
persecution is contrary ad re-
pugnant to American law and de-
mocratic tradition.
THE shoddy character Of these
prosecutions is revealed by the
suspicious timing of a series of
leaks to newspapers by this
Grand Jury. A close perusal of
the records will indicate that
whenever the administration was
faced with foreign policy cri-
sis, this Grand Jury and the
leak technique was used to
create with hunt atmosphere.

And to all those In this country

where who love freedom and look
to us for aid and leadership let me
make this very clear: So far as I

fundamental freedom of choice of

Tyranny on March.
We live in a world in which
tyranny is on the march. The evil
idea is on the march that man
is not destined to be free, but to
be enslaved. That idea is backed
by mobilization of enormous force.
Millions of families who have known

our country stands like beacon
of hope to iall the world. Our mag
nificent America is the end result
of the deep convictions of a great
people devoted above everything
else to faith in their God and the
liberty and precious Importance of
every human being.
We believe in freedom for our
neighbors across the street or across
the seas-the same freedom We ex-
pect for ourselves. We believe in
honesty, loyalty, fair play, concern
for our neighbors, the innate ability
of men to achieve; these convic-
tions, arched over by our faith in
God, are the inner meaning of the
American way of life. That is why
the eyes of freedom-loving people
everywhere in this troubled world
are turned with hope to us. That
is our America for which we can
not and will not fail.

time when these convictions are
doubled and sneered at and denied.

! The truth about America seeps
through every obstacle Of iron and
steel. In millions Of hearts the
hope that Is America Is flaming
That is why we in America have
such a solemn obligation to love
and cherish all of the freedoms we
enjoy. We are the last, best hope
of earth. Neither barbed wire nor
bayonet have been able to suppress
the will of men and women to
cross from tyranny to freedom.
Let us call up some Of them as
witnesses. Let them testify. Call
up Jan Masaryk Of Czechoslovakia
the heroic son of a heroic father.
We may never know. whether he took
mis- life or was murdered. We do
know this, that however it came. he
preferred death to life cut of from
freedom. Jan Masaryk Is our wit
ness.
Martyrs to Cause.
Call up Archbishop Stepinac who
lies today in a Communist prison,
living martyr to the cause of free
dom of religion Call up Nicola
Petkov, the executed leader Of the
free forces of Bulgaria. Call up
Gen. Bor-K and Stanislaw
Mikola jczyk the great exiled leaders
of Poland vino gladly brushed elbows
with death to escape from tyranny.
All these are our witnesses.
Call up the athletes who came out
from behind the Iron Curtain to
compete in the Olympics only last
month ard refused to return. Call
up Oksana Kasenkina, the Russian
school teacher. She was picked by
the secret police to come to our
country to teach the children Of
Soviet diplomats. She could not
even understand the language Of
America but in her heart she came
to understand America. When she
jumped to death or freedom from
the window of her diplomatic pri-
son, she gave her testimony. That
was the day-the very same tragic
day-that the American people were
told that the exposure of ccmmu-
nism in our own Government is
"red herring"
With mankind as our witness this
Is no time for doubling the right
ness OF free government. This is
a time-aboye all times-for great
American animation. Our faith
reafdrmed holds our destiny and the
hope Of the world.
AS we look around US we can
count our blessings and be humbly
proud and happy we are Americans.
Our fathers came from an old
world in which few men knew the
of liberty. Yet they dared
to found nation and stake its fu-
ture on their belief in what men
could do if only they were free. The
America of today is the living, tow
ering symbol of the eternal right
ness of that faith.
Faith to Go Forward.
We have sometimes failed In our
faith and often fallen short Of it.
But in our hearts we believe and
know that every man has some of
the divine in him, that every single
individual is of priceless Importance
and that free men against whatever
odds have an unbeatable quality.
That faith Is my faith. 1t is the
faith of our people. 1t is the faith
in which we will 60 forward.
