On the Record
Unreliable Accusations by Mccarthy
Viewed as Playing Into Hands of Reds

McCormick, publisher of the Chi

But Miss Kenyon couldn't have
signed such a protest in 1910, un-
less she did it in her sleep! For
She was one Of the founders and
member of the executive COM

as I well remember, on many plat

The Council of American Soviet

ton, including that expressed by
Gen. MacArthur-a well-known
Communist? At that time the
hope Of postwar Soviet-American

Soviet concessions as the perma-

To take associations out of

Play Into Reds Hands.
Such associate accusations play
right into Communist hands, by
making the anti Communist
movement appear ridiculous and
lending support to4he Communist
claim that all opposition to Com
muniSm is a witch hunt"
But to return to the Senator's
charges: How is it possible that
an investigation should go wrong
on a person like Miss Kenyon,
whose views are so we'll known.
articulate and easy to check?
It looks as though the Senator
were allowing himself to be used
for interests not only concerned
with tracking down "subversion"
but also having remarkable
concept Of the meaning of that
word.

Senator has picked up a very hot
potato with which to burn his
fingers. Everybody who knows
Miss Kenyon-and there are very
many who do-knows she is a
vehemently outspoken anti-Com-
munist, and nobody to pick a
fight with!
Morris Ernst. the attorney who
tried to defend Robert A. Vogeler

for the Civil Liberties Union,

very active in ridding that organi-

May Bring Libel Law Revision.
Actually, If such random libels
widely publicized on press and
radio, without more support than
irrelevant associations-continue
to be permitted, there will be a
demand for revision of the libel
laws, which exempt members of
Congress when they attack per-
sons outside Congress.
The irrelevancies in the Sen
|ator's testimony are glaring. Miss
Kenyon was accused of signing a
protest, on February 81, 1910,
issued by the Veterans of the
Abraham Lincoln Brigade, con-
demning the war hysteria
whipped UP by the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration." The implicit ar

Communists; hence. to protest

This Changing World
Early Soviet Attack Upon Yugoslavia
Indicated by Troop Concentrations


may be- encouraged to press their
campaign, further.
Yugoslav3 agents crossing the
border through the many passes
which connect the two countries
keep alive anti-Moscow propa-
ganda. The secret police, who
are commanded by Russians
have discovered a number OF
caches of arms smuggled across
the border by Tito's agents.
The Bulgarian people, who are
becoming increasingly desperate
as conditions grow worse in their
country. are joining underground
movements in droves. When dis
covered they frequently save
themselves by crossing. the border
into Yugoslavia where, after thor
ough screening. they are incor-
porated into bands which are ex-
pected to start guerrilla incursions
into their homeland.
The Bulgarian government says
these conditions exist because the
people have seen the Yugoslavs
successfully defying Stain and
leading their own life under their
own Communist dictator. The
Soviet puppets are, doing every
thing they can to stifie this wind
of rebellion. but they point out
that so long as Marshal Tito is
allowed to 60 unpunished they
can do little to keep their people
down. regardless Of how many
executions and deportations take
place.
Greek Defeat Has Bad Effect.
Information reaching Washing
ton and other Western capitals
from Bulgaria do not mention
whether Moscow has decided what
to do about Tito. It is known,
however, that the Soviet commits
sars in Bulgaria are worried and
are supporting the puppet gov
ernment's contention that every
known terroristic trick is applied
to the citizens of Bulgaria. But
they admit that so long as the
republic has a common border
with a rebellious state. the pres
ent means of repression are not
fully satisfactory.
Similarly, they point out, the
defeat OF the Greek Communists,
at the hands of the loyal Greek
army, has had an equally bad
effect on the rank and file of
Bulgarians, who had been led to
believe that the Greek rebels,
supported by Russia. could not
possibly lose.
The situation may force the
Kremlin to decide on a major op-
GRAFTON against Tito before the
beginning of summer. There are
indications to that effect. such as
new concentrations of Red COM
bat forces in Hungary and Bull

Gas Producers Grab for Millions,
Coming Up in Senate This Week

the field of utility regulation. His

sailable. But, digging deeply into

material he had written long age
for labor newspapers and were
thereby able to caricature him as
a deep-dyed radical. not safe to

Olds. Senators. could register
their shocked indignation and
vote against him, without going
into the real reasons for the at
tack on him. ......
But now there is no Red issue
The Senators from Ohio, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Missouri, Indiana
or any of the 35 States to which
natural gas pipelines have already
been extended, cannot make the
present question one to grow pur-
pie in the face about. Senator
Kerr and the other oil producers
have put them on different kind
of a spot. They are being asked
to give the oil men a free hand
in the exploitation of their own
constituents.
Producers Would Fix Price.
This issue has been made I'M
derstandable back home. The
newspapers in the principal cities
have been spelling it out. Many
mayors have done the same.
1t Is as simple, as this: If the
Kerr amendment is enacted, the
price of gas at the kitchen range
or the factory furnace, no matter
where. will be fixed by the pro-
ducers in those Southwestern
States where the gas is found.
The Federal Power Commission
can regulate the rates of the pipe
line companies and State and
municipal commissions can reg
ulate retail prices, but in doing
so they cannot ignore the price
the distributors are forced to pay
the producers.
Everything that can be said to
confuse the issue will be said this
week. Much will be heard con-
corning the rights of the enter
prising little independent oil COM
panies. The fact that these brave
little fellows include Standard OF
New Jersey, New York and
Indiana may or may not be men,
toned. And no Senator, o1
course, is likely to be rude enough
to name Senator Kerr's own COM
Ipany.

State Department officials were
puzzled today over an apparent
shift in Soviet propaganda tactics
in the Sino-Korean crisis.
Moscow has been supporting
Chinese Communist claims by
publishing Peiping charges that
the United States has plotted all
along to cross the North Korean
border and invade Manchuria.
Departing from this line, the
Soviet news agency Tass came out
Wednesday with an article based
on the contrasting thesis that Gen
Macarthur was taken by surprise
when the Chinese intervened
Tass reported that Gen. MacAr-
thur had told subordinate COM
manders that American troops
were to be withdrawn from Korea
by Christmas.
officials here were tipped off to
the shift through diplomatic chan
nels. They decided tentatively
that only two explanations were
likely:
Russia has decided to tone
down the charge of American ag-
gression, or somebody in Moscow
blundered.
On the latter theory, the Voice
of America started today to needle
Moscow in its overseas broadcasts
One program prepared for foreign
listeners was built around ar
imaginary scene at Soviet propa-
