BEHIND THE SCENES. A New
York friend tells us he went to a
party the other night at which a mod
est little man with a heavy foreign
accent was introduced as ''Mr. Won
Something or Other from the United
Nations"
Immediately the guests knotted
around him, asking what Mr.. Malik.
the new Russian delegate, was like,
and what would be done about Pal
estine. The UN gentleman seemed
to be pretty flustered by the whole
affair.
Later on our friend happened to
sit next to him and asked, by the
way, just what do you do up at Lake

expression, Il work on the air-condi-

ing.
The members will be asked wheth-
er they believe the branch should
conform to the national bylaws, as
interpreted by a national "clarifica-
ton committee" or stand on its
contention that the branch bylaws
do not conflict and that branches
have the right to select their own
members.
Expected to Back Branch.
Mr.. Croghan said he believed the
members will thoroughly indorse'
the branch position, since this issue
has come to vote of the member
ship several times previously.
He said the Washington branch
also is contending that the question
is so serious that the national board
should have waited until the asso-
ciation's national convention next
year before voting to take de-
cisive step. The conflict over inter-
probation of membership bylaws
he said, affects many branches out
side of Washington.
Mr.. Croghan said he will press fol

$4,000 in Property Also Owned.
The branch, according to the suit,
also owns $4,000 worth of furni-
ture, chinaware. rugs and other
property in the clubhouse. If it had
to sell this property because of the
national groups action, the suit
argued, it would lose more than
$4,000.
The suit contended that the
branch has always complied with
the national bylaws. Notwithstand-
ing that, the suit added, the ma
tional group now "unlaWfully
threatens" to exclude the branch.
The branch, in its suit, said it was
making the legal move to test the
validity of the action taken by the
national organization. 1t asked the
court to determine whether the &C
tion represents a valid exercise of
authority" 1t also asked that en-

there are numerous indications
that the Communists and left-Wing
Liberals will endeavor to sabotage
the inter-American conference in
order to embarraSS the Columbian
government and create difficulties
among the American republics"
This message also reported that a
recently resigned Minister of For
eign Affairs of Colombia had twice
been pelted with eggs in previous
weeks and that a 'riotous group"
had attacked the presidential auto
mobile in which the Ecuadorian
Ambassador was riding after pre-
senting his credentials.
The warning was also given that
replacement of coalition Conserva-
tive-Liberal cabinet by an all-Con-
servative cabinet might have the
effect of increasing opposition to
the Colombian government and ef-
forts to sabotage the conference.
Plot Charged by Press.
On March "a, Mr.. Beaulac advised
the State Department that the
Conservative press charges a Cal
tanista Communist alliance in a
plot to sabotage the ninth Pan
American Conference"
Mr.. Beaulac cited quotations from
various conservative publications.
One of them, the newspaper FL
Siglo. quoted a Conservative radio
commentator as saying Gaitanista
mobs are preparing genuine riots
and violent disturbances to try to
bring pressure to bear against the
members of the Pan American Con-
ference, making the country appear
as decided adversary of any meas
ure that may be taken toward the
formation of a united front of the
American nations against commu-
niSm."
On March "a Mr. Beaulac sent the
State Department a denial by Mr..
Gaitan printed in the Liberal news
paper El TEMPO. that the Liberals
we're behind the alleged sabotage
plans.
Preventive Measures Taken.
Mr.. Gaitan was quoted as say
Ing he had heard from various
sources of plans for hostile acts
against delegates to the conference
Evening star., 1948-04-16

information had been confirmed
that Communist-inspir agitators'
would try to humiliate Gen. Mar
shall and other delegates on their
arrival by manifestation and pos
sible personal molestation."
But Mr.. White, who gave newsmen
the State Departments own version
of its advance warnings, described
Mr.. Libert as very Junior" en-
ploye with duties more or less OF
housekeeping nature.
Mr.. White said it seemed incon-
ceivable that Mr.. Libert would have
had jurisdiction to tell the CIA that
a message sbhould be withheld.
Furthermore, the press officer en-
phasized that the department was
getting its own reports and passing
them along to CIA.
Tells of Messages.
Admiral Hillenkoetter confined his
testimony largely to information he
said his agency gave to the State
Department.
He told of message after message
detailing Communist plans to make
trouble. Among them:
/. A March 10 report that an OH
cial of a Latin American country II
Bogota had helped bring contra
band arms into Colombia for rev.
olutionary coup against the incum-
bent government This ottlcla
urged that the blow be struck "a!
soon as possible"
2. AS early as January 2 agents
messaged that the Communist Party
in Colombia was preparing to Start
vigorous anti-imperialist campaign
shortly before the Pan American
Conference began in March.
3. On January 20, CIA was told g
leading Colombian Communist as
signed to overthrow the government
boasts that he can count on planes
and artillery when necessary The
report said arms, explosives ano
uniforms allegedly had been stored
in II conveniently located houses.
4. A March message said Baran-
ouilla, Colombia, Communists view
recent political events as the in
itiation of plans to sabotage the
Pan American Conference"
Advised of Agitation Plans.
5. A message on March 80 advised
that the Colombian Communist
Party has agreed upon a program
of agitation and molestation against
the United States, Chilean. Brazilian
and Argentinian delegations.
Afterward, the State Department
broke out it's own secret files of'pre-
conference warnings. Mr.. White
read to reporters series of tele-
grams sent to the department by
Amba ssador Beaulac from March q
through Mach %. The name Of the
assassinated Liberal leader, Gaitan
figured prominently in the messages
He denied the Liberals were behind
the trouble making plans.

ing and sacking of Bogota with
hundreds killed.
State Department Press Officer
Lincoln White said last night a
series of messages came to the de-
partment late in March from Am
bassador Willard L. Beaulac in
Bogota warning of alleged Com
munist preparations to try to dis
rupt the conference and perhaps
molest some delegates.
Mr.. White said all these reports
were brought to the attention OF
Gen. Marshall and other high Off
cials preparing to attend the Bogota
meeting. Copies also were sent to
the Central Intelligence Agency.
Mr. White added:
Gen. Marshall had some very
salty remarks on the subject-Which
if l may paraphrase them roughly
were to this general effect:
He thought it was absolutely
ridiculous that the 81 American
republics should even consider being
intimidated by protestations of one
kind or another from the Com
munists or anybody else.
He thought that if they were
to be intimidated by any such fore
casts of demonstrations there would
be no more conferences.
He grew particularly salty on
The idea that a handful of Com
munists with a few posters, or even
bricks or rotten eggs, could prevent
the representatives of sovereign
States meeting anywhere at any
time to do what they and the over
whelming majority of their people
wanted done"
After Admiral Hillenkoetter's COM
parison of condition in Colombia
to those in this country, the House
itself heard an outright warning
from one of its own members.
Can Happen in U. s.. Jackson Says.
Representative Jackson, Republi-
can, of California, an observer for
Congress who flew back from the
Bogota conference to report to his
COlleagQeS, QecldreQ.
The uprising in Bogota was not
something that just happened. 1t
represents additional stitches in the
cloth of violence.
1T can and will happen in New
York, Chicago and San Francisco
unless the march of COM
munism is halted.
The Red tide has touched the
shores of the Western Hemisphere. y
Mr.. Jackson said Congress should
pass a law to curb communism.
Mr.. Jackson, speaking from notes
penciled on his flight to Washing
ton, gave the House dramatic cor
roboration of the Communist part
in the rioting.
His voice tense with emotion and
fatigue, the Marine Corps combat
veteran told of seeing red flags in
profuSion and hammer and sickle
flags" waving above the rioters who
sacked and burned buildings and
spread death throughout the noun
tain capital.
He told of making his own escape
from the burning building where
the conference was held-of a flight
through surging mobs armed with
clubs and machetes.
The House gave him a standing
ovation. He is flying back to Bogota
today to resume his work as con-
gressional observer at the conference
In his testimony before Mr..
Browns committee, Admiral Hillen-
koetter said one report from CIA
agents in Colombia was withheld
from the department at the request
of its own advance agent in Bogota,
O. j. Libert, who did not want to
alarm delegates unduly"

before the conference started. said

Workmen started back to their jobs

The labor unions appealed to the
workers to cooperate with the
government in cleaning up the
capital and other cities damaged

off by the assassination of Jorge
Fliecter Gaitan, Liberal Party
leader
Workmen using bulldozers work

charred buildings. In Bogota,
1000 street cleaners attacked the
debris-littered streets.
The city still is patrolled by the
army, but there are increasing signs
of returning normally. Some ad-
ditionAl stores and Offices reopened.
Banks were open again, with long
lines outside. Some suburban buses
were operating and rail service was
almost normal. Trolley service,
however, has been smashed almost
beyond repair.
