Marshall Committed
Bad Error on Russia
BY The Asseeiossd Prsss

Norman Thomas said today
that Secretary of State Marshall
committed serious error In
policy" in the recent American
interchange of notes with Mos
COW.
Mr.. Thomas, white-haired Social
ist PARTY nominee for President.
said "our State Department is
handing Communist propagandists
an unnecessary victory" :
He told the House Foreign Affairs
Committee: &c
1T is very unconvincing and dis-c
appointing that man capable Of
Mr.. Marshallrs proposals for Euro
pean economic recovery should faH
back on technicalities for not taking
advantage of the opportunity Soviet
Foreign Minister Molotov has Of

The peoples of the world DO not
follow Secretary Marshalfs techn-
cal explanations" -.
Would Capitalize on Move.
Mr.. Thomas said Mr.. MolotoV's
recent note, replying to a note by
American Ambassador Walter Be-,
dell Smith, had placed Mr.. Molotov-
before the world lin more reason,
able and realistic light than Tor
many months" e..
He said the JOY with which it was
welcomed was highly significant. He
added: o.,
I'VE Americans owe it to ourselves.
and to the world to capitalize on it,,
The way in which the Russian
action has been received by our
State Department may have some
excuse in the technical points Sec
retary Marshall has raised, but 1t is
nevertheless a serious error in poll,

Mr.. Thomas appeared to testify
in support of resolution by Repre-
sentative Judd, Republican, of Min
nesota for President Truman to call
a conference to revise the United :
Nations Charter -
The purpose OF such q conference
would be to eliminate the big power
veto in cases of aggression. -
Marshall's Arguments Assailed. =
Gen. Marshall, supported by Mr..
Truman, has opposed the move. The
Secretary has said showdown with
Moscow NV might drive Russia out
of the U. N. and split the world into
two armed camps.
There is no escaping the fact
that the limitation of veto power
is an absolute essential" Mr..
Thomas said.
There is no more dangerous fall
lacy than the notion that the U. N.
can serve the peace or pave the way
for ultimate democratic world gov.

tinued unchecked.
THE argument that an attempt
to improve the United Nations, If
unsuccessful, will destroy that body.

When the pickets did not comply,
Sheriff Norman Dieter. Chief Of

Chief Fuller said he would not try
further to open the line when he
had so few men.
Later 200 men and women, identi-
flying themselves as both union and
nonunion employees, called on Gov
Youngdahl at the Capitol in St
Paul. They said they wanted to
return to work and asked what he
intended to do about the violence
The Governor said he would not
permit violence to continue and that

Gen, Adler Advocates
Cufbs on Communists
To Guard Freedoms
by fhs Associated Press

NEW YORK. May H.--Maj. Gen.
Julius. Ochs Adler, vice president
and general manager of the New
York Times, professed mounting
sympathy" yesterday for those per-
sons demanding Affirmative action
against the Communists in the
United States.
Addressing the closing session OF
the four-day 17th annual conference
Of the Chaplains Association of the
Army and Navy of the United States,
he presented arguments on the ques-
ton of outlawing the Communist
Party in this country.
Gen. Adler. who discussed alter
natives to outlawing the party,
said:
None Of our freedom is absolute,
nor could it and long survive. Free
dom of the press does not include
the right to print the libelous or
obscene.
Freedoms Restricted.
"All of our freedoms are restricted
at the point where their abuse
might imperil the rights, comfort
or safety of the community as a
whole. Why, then, should we alb
solve from restrictions a group
whose loyalty is not to this Nation
or its flag, whose demonstrated
creed Is the extinction of freedom
wherever they get power?"
Perhaps we should act toward
the Communist Party as we would
toward any other proved danger
which hinders US in our prepared
ness for peace"
Maintaining that the word
party" Is not to be applied legiti-
mately to American Communists,
Gen. Adler continued:
mo citadel of liberty is likely to
fall if we deprive the Communists
OF the franchise we traditionally ac-
cord to legitimate political parties.
On the contrary, perhaps our lib
erty would thereby become stronger
and more secure"
Always Underground,
Replying to those who contend
that outlawing the Communists
would drive them underground, Gen.
Adler said they always have been
underground. He declared:
"Infiltration, conspiracy, sabotage,
organized turmoil and agitation all
mask under a hundred innocent
sounding names behind q thousand
unsupported fronts"
The association reelected as
president the Rev. Robert j. White,
retired rear admiral and dean of the
Catholic University law school.

available. There is no need for the
National Guard. The union neither
desires nor will 1t institute violence
on the picket line, but we will not
stand idly by and see our strike
smashed, our union wrecked and
our working conditions set back q
100 years
Six carloads of office workers, pre-
viously admitted daily, were turned
back at the main Cudahy gate this
morning when they attempted to
report for work. A force of 80
pickets was on duty at this point.
In addition to pickets thrown
across the gate entry, the union is
maintaining two watchhouses beside
the road to the plant, so feet from
the entrance. Newspapermen and
photographers are among those
halted at these advance stations.
The Minneapolis Tribune reported
pickets seized the camera OF one
of its photographers when he at
tempted to take picture of their
line.
Six Treated at Plant.
H. w. Reister, Cudahy superin-
tendent, said many of the raiders
carried clubs and lengths Of pipe.
DR.. William j. Watson, Newport
physician called to the plant shortly
after the raid, said he had treated
six injured men in the company's
administration building. He said
one of them was seriously hurt.
Sheriff Granquist said his depu-
ties were concentrating efforts on
finding the remainder Of the men
taken away by the raiders.
At 4 am. the sheriff said five of
the missing men had made their
way back into the plant, one Of
them an unidentified engineer,
badly hurt. The other four were
upharmed, the sheriff reported. All
refused to talk, he said.
The sheriff said plant workers had
recognized some of the raiding
party members and that warrants
for those members would probably
be issued today.
Leonard johnson, Minnesota labor
conciliator, and William Sampson,
his assistant, were allowed to enter
the plant tos make an inspection,
also at am.
In Plant Half an Hour.
Sheriff Granquist, whose head
quarters are at Saltwater about Is
miles away. said the invaders had
left the property before he and q
deputy arrived here on q summons
from Mr.. Reister.
Mr.. Reisteg ssatd4hAra adingsRaatus
was in the plant about q half hour
He said damage was evident in
every department" Of the plant.
Employees of Cudahy, along with
the Swift and Armour plants, mem
bers Of the CIO- Packing House
Workers, have been out since the
strike over wages began March l6.
Union spokesnen at South st.
Paul, contacted shortly after the
raid, disclaimed any knowledge Of
the incident.
Mr.. Reister said the raiders broke
locks on feeding pens adjoining the
plant and freed the 200 hogs to roam
the countryside.
He said machinery had been
smashed electric and telephone
wires torn out and the Offices "left a
wreck" with desks and filing cases
and their contents spilled almost
100 per cent"
1T was complete mob rule for
about half hour" he said.
THE watchman never had q
chance. The invaders, split up into
groups, rushed the gates from all
sides and quickly overpowered them.

schedule, the various groups again

jority Of employees were apparently
well satisfied with the much
maligned Federal efficiency rating
system. Most of those answering
the QUESTIONABLE said they thought
their efficiency rating marks were
correct.
The overwhelming majority of
employees favored Government en-
ployes' unions-which is little
paradoxical, since the majority OF
Federal workers do not belong to
unions. This. perhaps, is an indict-
ment of the organizing methods Of
Federal employees unions, who ap-
parently can obtain far larger MEM
bership by an intensive organizing
drive.
