AS I'VE noted before, when

pours.
Take killer Mccoy" another
in the cycle of boxing films:
it's about as ludicrous and far
fetched as anything that ever
was supposed to happen on the
screen or off.
Our hero is Tommy Mccoy,
Mickey Rooney, who comes up
from the slums and gets en-
broiled with some evil gamblers.
At the last minute, in a scene
strictly from hunger, Mickey's
drunken father engages in gun
duel with a couple of thugs and
gives his own life to let our
hero's beloved flee. In one of
those scenes you've seen at least
500 times before, she races to his
Side-flash of her in the cab,
twisting her hands; then dissolve
to the ring where our hero is
getting the living daylights
knocked out of him-and he

guy.

make one appreciate the class of
things like Body and Soul"

Woman IN White

r DON'T know much about
Wilkie Collins except that
he's been dead for about so years
and wrote the classic horror
story, woman in White
He has my sympathy though.
He deserved a better fate than
to have his novel put on the
screen by Warner Brothers in a
film called (a1though I don't
quite know Why Woman in
White" It's been quite while
since 1 read the book, but as I
recall, it had terror, suspense
and kept me shivering and look
ing over my shoulder for several
weeks. 1t may be that I was
more impressionable then.
The film version of Collins
novel is-for all its wraiths, Sc
cret passages, and dark, misty
forests-as suspenseful as an I'M
American committee hearing and
as frightening as an evening at
Grandma'S.
It's story about a suave Ital-
ian con man who fleeces his vic
TINS after first driving them nuts.
It's dated: there's not psychia--
trist in sight. The acting and
direction are among the hammiest
I've seen in quite while; the
film lacks the pace and style
which are all-important in set
ting and sustaining a mood.
It's an inept job-the kind
that makes you squirm in en-
barrassment for the cast and the
producers.

many of the slaves brought in
chains to America were innatelY
superior TO their capfors.
1t may be surprising to learn
that the wise fabulist Aesop was
a Negro. So was Terence, the
master of Roman comedy. An
tar, the Arab father of heroes,
was, Bontemps points out, ''the
son of black slave woman"
Naturally, a good portion of
this entertaining and enlighten-
ing book is devoted to the
achievements of the Negro since
Emancipation. All of the fam
iliar names in the roster of great
Negro Americans are here, as
well as others undeservedly OBJ
scure.
The lucid and lively quality of
Story of the Negro" is apt to
make one unconscious of the
fact that he is inbibing store
of valuable information along
with engrossing entertainment.
And that's the way history
ought to be written. The con-
ventional historian usually man
ages to make an unpalatable
dish of the most exciting events.
Bontemps serves his history
with paprika, mustard, and spice
to enhance the natural flavor of
the solid and nourishing meat.

sentimentally protected battleship

Unhappy Over Review.
Members of the Senate Armed

they will have to review the whole
question of unification and they
are not too happy about it. The
subject is complex and technical;
overlooking 1t all are strong and
warning personalities who must be

or be banished from the scene.

On the Record
Innocent, Loyal and Trusting Persons
Essential to Communist Conspiracy

demonstrated by the record of the
Communist Party throughout the
world.
Americans have little understand.
ing of how such conspiracies ope-
rate. Invariably the conspiracies
involve perfectly innocent persons
in fact, the innocent, loyal and
trusting personality is essential to
them.
Operators in a Communist con-
spiracy do not present themselves
as Communists, but often as anti
Communists.
They find myriad ways Of exer-
cising pressures. One Of these Is
Dlackmail. Let there have been a
single slip in a mans life, of how
ever private a nature, and they will
use it to compel him to their serv-
ice or drive him out OF the picture.
Lie Is Their Instrument.
The lie is their conscious instru-
ment and they lie without bad con-
science. In their theory, it is not
they who are on trial but the whole
of existing society against which
they are waging a dangerous war,
for the purpose Of establishing a
wordy utopia. In this war neither
loyalty, friendship, nor bourgeois"
ethics are binding.
They lie to their closest friends
and exploit the most intimate rela-
tionships and condolences.
I unwittingly have trusted and
aided at least five persons IN my
life whom I now know to have been
Communists. One of them was in
my employ for four years, and en-
joyed my complete confidence.
Yet I am not a fool. I am merely
another American who once could
not believe that a person can dis
simulate his beliefs and feelings
for years, or that human beings
otherwise highly civilized can feign
the most affectionate friendship for
persons they would either use for
their cause or liquidate without q
qualm.
The Communist conspiracy. which
exploits the worst instincts Of peo-
pie, also exploits the best motives
of generosity, confidence and trust.
Therein lies its greatest wickedness
and danger.
Therefore, a complete revelation
Of this conspiracy inevitably will
involve the innocent as well as the
guilty.
The innocent can best serve
themselves and their country by
telling the exact truth.

curious because Dorothy Thompson.
Mr.. Duggan's loyalty never was
placed in serious question. He was
mentioned by Isaac Don Levine as
a man whom Whitaker Chambers
had in some way connected with the
spy apparatus in Washington.
Mr.. Duggan's family insists that
his death was accidental-which
would rule out any political cause
The implication that 1t was con-
nected with smear" implies
suicide.
1t seems to us that by this i'm
plication Mr. Duggan's friends are
doing his memory a disservice. A
man with a clear conscience, as we
are convinced Mr.. Duggan had, is
hardly driven to suicide by an in
conclusive smear" If he were,
nearly everyone in public life would
be jumping out windows.
Welles Wanted Probe.
| An intimate friend of MIR. Duggan
rejected, as this columnist rejects,
that his death was accident or sui
eide. No one knows how Mr.. Duggan
died.
But Sumner Wells wanted an in
vestigation. Now Mr.. Welles him
self is in serious condition, appar-
emily having wandered far from
home after midnight and nearly
frozen to death under circumstances
which, in his present condition,
though conscious and rational" he
cannot recall.
The tragedy Of Mr.. Duggan is, 1t
seems to me, tending to divert pub
lie attention from the main point.
If his death was in any way con-
nected with the espionage case, the
guilt falls on that criminal con-
spiracy against American security,
operating through persons in the
State Department. That conspir-
acy exists is certain. That the
State Department files were ri1ed
is unquestionable. And that the
key members of that conspiracy will
commit any crime to prevent the
full facts from coming to light is

cution or transfer to one of the
many labor camps.
All the same, wishful- thinking
Europeans continue to play with the
idea that somehow or other some
thing will happen in the U. S. S. r.
which might change the course of
present Kremlin policies. Lacking
other arguments, they pin these
hopes on the possibility that there
might arise in the Politburo some
men who would like to see change
of direction in the Soviet foreign
policies.
These hopes frequently are COM
municated to American visitors,
such as cabinet members, Congress
men and newspaper writer's. and
are spread in this country as like
lihoods," which sound good partic-
ularly during festive occasions when
everybody is thinking of good will.
Politburo Party" Doubted.
Those officials who have the task
of watching Kremlin trends and OBJ
serving the various moves inside and
outside the U. S. S. r. have grave
doubts that there is any party"
within the Politburo which would
welcome a change of direction in
Russia's domestic and international
affairs. Aud neither Prime Minister
Stain nor his chief lieutenants have
shown the slightest indication that
they think in any other terms than
the destruction Of the Western
world, of which the United States
today is the chief mainStay.
Their policy has been consistent
and answering. 1t was less appar-
ent during the days when the Rus
sian armies we're, hard pressed by
the Nazis and depended so heavily
on American support. But 1t re-
verted to its original character soon
after the war ended. Et
Prime Minister Stains last bla-
tant double cross occurred only in
August, when he approved the
agreement for solution of the Ber-
lin crisis and gave orders secretly
to Marshal VASTLY D. Sokolovsky to
reject it on technical details. The
Kremlin's adamant policy was more
than clearly demonstrated at the
last long meeting of the United Ma
tions In Paris, where the Russians
used their usual obstructionist tao
tics.
It is in this realistic light that our
top Government officials usually ex-
anime the reports which reach them
periodically from Europe, where
people hang on straws in the hope
that their wishes will avert another
cataclysrn.

that they seem slow to recognize.
Experience shows that few ad-
ministrators can survive internal
war in their departments when it
becomes sufficiently well-adver-
tised.
OF the three service arms, the
Navy has lately seemed the quietest
This Is hardly due to inherent vir-
tue; of all who wear the uniform,
the Admirals are least flexible. AS
ex-Secretary Of War Stimson wrote
bitterly, they believe there Is one
true church, seapower, and Ad-
miral Mahan is its prophet. Their
favorite Christmas toast undoubt-
edly was the captain Of the Car
rier Saipan who refused to inter-
rupt his journey to the icecap in
order to confer with the Air Force.
Almost Out of Picture.
But history is against them at the
moment they seem almost out OF
the picture. So they are keep
ing their heads down and working
quietly among the old friends that
years Of the suavest lobbying in
Washington have ranged on their
side. Their secretary, John Sulh-
van, is politically invulnerable. a
long time Democrat who cam
paigned fervently for the President.
Both Secretary of the Army
Royal and Secretary Of the Air
Force Symington dramatized the
part their services are playing
abroad by spending Christmas In
Europe with their troops. In that
battle of propaganda the Air Force
led as usual: it had the dramatic
airlift for which 1t was able to
produce the Observation-Disclosures
Senator Barkley, as well as Bob
Hope. If they could only induce
everybody to forget about that Or
phaned Constellation, it would be
fine, but President Truman just
won't adopt it and give it his
name.
There is no disposition in Wash
ington, for all the cynicism about
some current manifestations, to-
curb national defense too sharply.
Economic thinking here is still con-
ditioned by the recent great depres-
sion; defense thinking is still con-
ditioned by remembrance Of those
dangerous years when the draft
triumphed by only a single vote
shortly before Pearl Harbor. The
WEAKNESS is largely with the in
dividuals concerned.
