 Harris said he was a former communist and had worked on many newspapers. He listed them as the San Diego Sun circulation department, Pasadena Star News, Santa Cruz Sentinel News, Union Sun and Journal of Lockport N. Y, Peoples World of San Fran cisco, and the Erie Dispatch.
 He said he resigned his position as public relations director of the Erie paper last Friday.
 Harris declared he left the San Diego Sun in 1892, quitting the paper to become a full-fledged functionary of the communist party.
 He asserted he had attended a communist party caucus in San Diego in 1885 at which Bridges and Schmidt were present.
 The meeting, he said, was held at 18th and B Streets and was held to set up a progressive slate of officers for the state fed eration of labor, then in conven- ton in the southern California city.

Pravda Asks Tighter
State DISCIPLINE
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The Mos
COW newspaper Pravda demanded
a tightening Of "state discipline"
throughout Russia yesterday.
It did so after reporting that
some factory managers are taking
statistics to make themselves look
good and others are "conniving"
against the state. It's editorial was
broadcast by Moscow radio.
Pravda Is the newspaper Of the
Soviet Communist Party.
After recounting abuses of the
"state discipline" Pravda de-
clared:

ing Of the fulfillment Of the in
structions of the party and the

him for the enemies he made. And
they valued him as a symbol OF
what they mean by democracy.
But they found him personally
smaller than the things he stood
for. The departing chairman Is
too often Intellectually arrogant

treated friendly Senators who

At the same time they noted
that he played politics for himself
to the point Of attempted ap-
tpeasement of his critics by naming
them to various commissions and
boards. etc. 1t did not work, OF
course. and he remained a figure

not venture this year to attempt

Senator Hickenlooper's charge Of
incredible mismanagement."
That verdict has just been un-
derscored in Iowa. The veteran
Iowa editor. Pulitzer prize winner
and ex-AEC Commissioner, w. w.
Waymack, has so strongly rebuked
Senator Hickenlooper for insist
ing upon his Lilienthal charges
that doubt is expressed whether
the Senator can succeed himself
next year.
It is recalled that Mr.. Lilienthal
recently had to appeal to Presi-
dent Hutchins of the University
of Chicago for help in soothing
atomic scientists at Chicago who
have been protesting Acc security
rulings. Finally, it is suggested
that the chairman might well
have been ruf1led by President
Truman's "old stuff" label on an
Acc report about Washington's
vulnerability to atomic bombs.
Life Easier for Successor.
Altogether. Mr.. Lilienthal may
have felt it was time to 60. In
a sense, he has died in the
trenches for the principle Of civil
ian control of atomic energy. Life
will be easier for his successor just
as it is easier for the successors
OF all men who carry a contro-
versial project past a transition
period.
The immediate Communist line
on the Lilienthal resignation was
that he was sacrificed to advocates
of preventive war against Russia.
This is nonsense. Mr.. Lilienthal
enjoyed the unqualified support
of the President, Secretary Of
State Acheson and Generals Brad
ley and Eisenhower plus that Of
the principal atomic scientists.

Long Debate on PRINCIPLE
It was well received. but in

The fact is that the Governors
of the poorer Southern States
don't really fool themselves on
the question Of federal benefits
versus the cost to their constitu-
ents. They know that when to
general benefits, such as the ma

the special grants in aid and

States, the per capita advantage
goes to their citizens, not to the

in addition to maintaining their
present chapels.
Last month the Greek Ortho-
dox Catholics, which have never
had a place of worship because
their number was so small. have
received authorization to build
a church. Because Of religious
persecution of some Of the Greek
Orthodox churches behind the
Iron Curtain the number of
followers OF that religion in Spain
now has reached several hundreds.
So long as Roman Catholicism
remains the state religion in this
country other faiths will not have
equality. But this does not mean
that active persecution, even re-
motely resembling that behind
the Iron Curtain, Is in progress
or is likely to occur in Spain.
:. Only ~ Nom Catholic.
The Spanish Catholics are
devout in their faith. The number
of Spaniards who profess other
beliefs is so small. however-less
than / per .cent-that they are
hardly noticeable.
It is difficult for any Spaniard
who is conversant with inter-
national affairs-regardless OF
whether he is a follower or op-
ponent of the regime-to under
stand what makes the wheels Of
diplomacy move.
The Spaniards try to rationalize
the situation. How is it," they
ask, that you have full-fledged
ambassadors in Russia, Czechoslo-
vakia and Poland. where all re-
ligions are prosecuted and op-
pressed? Why has your ambassador
in Moscow not been withdrawn
since the Soviet government has
never lived up to the formal
agreement regarding religious
freedom contained in the 1884
agreement under which you re-
sumed diplomatic relations with
the u. s. S. R.?
"And what about Tito? You
are helping him with loans and
war materials and would be
willing to accept him in the
Marshall Plan and possibly the
Atlantic pact If he decides to ask
for such advantages.
"Is there any freedom OF re-
ligion in Yugoslavia? Has he had
the courtesy even to give consider
alton to your request to iberate
Archbishop Stepinac, whom he
threw into jail at Moscow's sug-
gestion in 1912"
Such questions can be en-
barrassing for anyone who is not

makers.

The Spanish government has
taken some strong measures 70
guarantee its internal security. In
order to make its laws and orders
effective and to avoid creating
among the people the impression
that the law of the land can be
taken lightly it must enforce all
of them strictly. And this applies
to the provisions Of Article vi
regarding religious freedom.
Number Of interpretations.
It happens, however, that the
words, private exercise" are SUD-
ject to a number Of interpretations
by the all-powerful Catholic hier-
archy, which, according to some.
does not always follow the Vati-
cans newly liberalized policy with
respect to other creeds.
Since 30 per cent Of the inhabit-
ants of Spain are Catholic, the
government is compelled. in spite
Of external political considera-
tions, to wink at some Of the In
terpretations of the Catholic
bishops. But in the last IL
months it has been able to con-
vince the hierarchy that 1t must
approach the question Of religious
freedom more literally than In
the past.
There have been no known re-
cent outbreaks by the fanatical
Carlist youths against non-Cath-
olics. Religious services IN Span
ish Protestant chapels have not
been disturbed. The Spanish Jews
recently have been permitted to

this manner: 1.-THE spenders while
deploring deficit spending, assert
as an excuse that there was deficit
spending during the Roosevelt
administration" Then he said
"but who can forget" etc. That
was his justification for the
spending in the '30s.

Of today's prosperity, he followed
it with this comment: IT the
Government cannot now live
