Justice Jackson said.
At another meeting yesterday
held by the tax section of the
American Bar Association, the
group voted to urge a law which
would permit the Government to
dip into the pay checks Of Fed
eral workers to collect delinquent
taxes.
Under the present law, the Gov
ernment has that power with
privately employed citizens, but
not with Federal workers. The
proposal, adopted unanimously,
would give the agency employing
the delinquent worker the right
to withhold 10 per cent of his
salary until the tax debt was paid
of. For workers earning more
than $4,000 a year, Is per cent
Of the salary over $4,000 could
be withheld under the proposed
law.
The recommendations Of the
section will be passed on to the
full House Of Delegates Of the
ABA for final action.
Hotels throughout the city were

Justice Jackson, who served as
Attorney General at the begin

a lucky thing that the Nazis had

that the NaZiS took Communists

As 10 Reds, McGrath
Tells Women Of Bar

Attorney General McGrath last
night assured the National Asso-

the Federal Bureau of Investiga-

munist situation in this country.
In their annual convention at
the Hotel Statler. the women read
the Attorney Generals speech in
copies delivered to the member
ship because he was unable to
attend. They also heard Deputy
Attorney General Peyton Ford
reiterate Mr.. McGrath's assur-
ances.
II can emphatically assure you,
that. though the Communists
might feel that through decep-
ton and stealth they are evading
detection. they are badly mis-
taken" Mr.. McGrath's speech said.
Details of Strategy Known.
"The FBI. as the governmental
agency charged with the protec-
ton Of the internal security of
the United States, is right on top
of the situation. The most mi
mute details of Communist STRAIT
egy-details destined only for the
partys secret and inner councils
are known to the FBI.
"Mr. ]. Edgar Hoover, drawing
from his successful experiences in
combating Fascists' subversion,
has established an effective 'cov-
erage' Of Communist activities.
This requires hard work, constant
vigilance and eternal patience.
But it is being done-and in a
democratic manner. The FBI, in
its Investigations, is operating
completely under the mantle of
law. This is the great strength
of democratic government-that
free society, acting completely
within the authority of law. can
protect itself against the minions
Of dictatorship who are using our
freedom as a guise to utterly de-
stroy it,"

went on:
Bar associations throughout thu
country are now convinced that

BY the Associoted Press

INTERNATIONAL FALLS,
Mimi. Sept. 16.-Charges of un-
warranted and unjustif1ed censor
ship by the Federal Government
of news relating to production of
war material were made before
the Minnesota Associated Press
at the fall conference here today.
The group. composed of editors
and publishers Of 27 daily news
papers in the State, Endorsed a
resolution to appoint a committee
to investigate the charges.
Gordon c. CloSway. executive
editor of the Winona Republican,
Herald and William P. Steven, as
siStant executive editor of the

were named by o. B. Augustson

Editors Association.
Tine national group is headed by

of the Washington Post and form
erly managing editor Of the St.
Paul Dispatch-Pioneer Press.
1t was reported to the confer
ence that the Government has
specified that, as a condition OF
contract entered into with a
producer of war materials, there
shall be mo publicity because OF
security reasons"
Closway declared that "if the
Government doesn't have enough
confidence in the press. we should
protest and take it up with the
proper authorities"
Mr.. Stevens said that the De-
fense Department has no control
whatsoever over such publicity ma
terial, adding:
This Is just plain foolishness
that goes on in the Army under
the guise of security. We must
not permit ourselves to fall prey
to such censorship by Govern
ment agencies" ~
The newsmen agreed that, they
will not print stories that would
give aid and comfort to the
enemy" but contended that many
of the orders by Government
agencies to suppress news for Sc
curity reasons are "unwarranted
and unjuStified."

last night he will call a hearing

Hershey to Be First Witness.
Directing his ire at the Army's
new mental-qualification tests, Mr..
Vinson said he planned to call
Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey as his first witness
to "get all the figures"
Then We'll call on the Army
and see why the tests are SO
high" he added. "They are too
high, and those people act as If
they want men to have a Ph.D.
to pass"
Army officials insist there is
nothing wrong with either the
tests or the high general rejection
rates. With the idea of building
highly capable training" force
during partial mobilization, they
argue, the tests were set up SO as
to funk about 13 per cent Of the
general population. In addition,
they say, high rejection is to be
expected from the present pool
of available manpower, riddled by
voluntary enlistments, deferments
and previous reflections from mill
tary service.
So Per Cent Rejected in June.
In its first tabulations, the
Army said, So per cent of the men
examined during July were re-
jected for all causes. A total of
1872 per cent were rejected solely
for f1unking the mental tests, and
another 93 per cent failed the
tests but also were rejected for
physical reasons.
In the Districts so per cent
overall rejection rate, nearly 20
per cent of those examined were
refused for flunking the mental
test. But the vast majority of
these failures -2 262 - came from
the Oil colored men sent to exam
ination. Of SOB white men exam
ined, 20-only per cent-were
rejected for mental qualification"
reasons.
District officials said the num-
ber of Negroes sent for examina-
ton was large because there were
relatively few deferments for prior
service and other causes in the
age groups called (23, "a and Is
