On the Other Hand
Interesting Sidelight on Thinking
Of Folks Supporting Propasandists

the truth that strikes are un-
justified in q civilized society?"
The Paul Revere Letters gallop
out of committee headquarters
every other week. An earlier one,
No. IS. contains this paragraph:
1.-THE probabilities are that we
could greatly improve the quality
of our legislation were we to sacri-
flee the privilege of knowing how
our Representative votes"
Edward A. Rumely, executive
secretary of the CO committee,
does not think the House Special
Committee on Lobbying is en-
titled to know the names of his
contributors or book buyers, not
even those who buy in large guam
titles for their own distribution. He
is now seeking a Federal injunc-
ton to prevent the House commit
tee from enforcing its demand for
this information. For its part, the
House committee is trying to make
up its mind whether or not to cite
Rumely for contempt of Congress.
Not First Conflict.
It is not Rumely's first conflict
with Congress. He was cited by
the House Investigation Commit
tee in 1914 for Withholding infor-
nation. The first trial resulted in
a miStrial. the second in acquittal.
1r the present instance there
seems to be a division of opinion
within the House committee as
to Rumely's behavior, Represen-
tative Clarence Brown, Ohio Re-
publican. being inclined to defend
1t to some extent.
In the course of one shouting ex-
change with Representative Hem
derson Larham, Georgia Demo-
crat. Brown declared the House
committee might be jeopardizing
freedom of the press. Representa-
tive Clare Hoffman, Michigan Re-
publican. offered in the House a
resolution to Investigate the COM
mittee's Investigator
During the first World War
Rumely was charged with buying
and operating the New York Mail
for German owners. Convicted I'M
der the Trading with the Enemy
Act, he was pardoned after a
short period in prison.

This Changing World
Handful of Subversives Broke Down

persons was denounced by the
gullible Liberals and Socialists as
tyranny or a takeof on Hitler
totalitarianism. France collapsed
as much under the blows of the
Nazi military machine as under
the treachery of the fifth column
which was carefully prepared by
Frances erstwhile friend and
ally-Russia. ...
These thoughts, based on proved
historical facts, will weigh, it is
hoped. in the minds of American
officials who in recent years have
been alerted to the dangers Of the
fifth column in this country. They
may duly impress the members of
the Tydings subcommittee, which
for the last four months has been
engaged in a vital investigation
net only of Senator McCarthy's
charges but also of the CLOSED
over" Amerasia case. So far this
committee has been churning
water to make butter.
The fact that some of the cases
are concerned with matters of the
past makes no difference. 1t is
the pattern of the fifth column in
this country which must be UNI
raveled if the present heavy sacri-
fees being demanded of the
American taxpayer to support the
fight against RuSSia's aggreSsions
here and abroad are to produce
results. BY and large we are a
nation of optimists who are loath
to suspect men in public Office of
misdeeds. except an occasional
lapse of financial ethics.
Assurances Believed.
When sour top men assure the
country that there are no subver-
sives in the Government they nat
urally-and necessarily-are be-
lieved. Occasionally we get a
shock, as was the case with Will
liam w. Remington, who was in
dicted Thursday by a grand jury
for perjury in connection with his
statement that he is not now and
never has been a Communist.
The shock was caused princi-
pally by the fact that the Loyalty
Review Board went thoroughly
into his case after he was re-
moved from his position in the
Commerce Department as a poor
security risk and cleared him.
Mr.. Hoover feels duty-bound,
by the nature of his position, to
make understatements, but he has
been emphatic before the Senate
Appropriations subcommittee in
his warning about the seriousness
of the small but highly dangerous
fifth column in this country.
The fact that there are only
half a million such persons in
America means nothing. They
can paralyze this country's most
vital efforts at a critical time. The
job OF unearthing and neutraliz-
ing them is not technically diff
cult. The difficulty comes in mis-
guided political thinking among
officials in the executive and legis-
lative branches of the Govern
ment.

loudly as they wish about the
misuse of dollar help by European
governments. Nobody will get Of

SO it seems at least, from the
experience here this week of SEN
ator Benton. Connecticut ex-
advertising tycoon, former assist
ant secretary of state for public
affairs and publisher OF the En-
cyclopedia Britannica.
Senator Benten made a soaring
public attack Wednesday on the
Italian governments failure to
bring up the land reform law"
and failure to modernize the
tax system" He deplored the in
dividualist attitude of Italian big
business and declared that if
communism is a threat in Italy
it Is because capitalism is not
working here.
Senator Benton's attack. de-
uvered before the American
Chamber of Commerce with many
Italians present, was flashed fully
to the United States. doubtless
bringing cheer to reformists of
the aid nropram
When the Marshall plan au-
thorities distributed Senator Ben
tons speech to 10 Italian agencies
and newspapers. however. his
fiery words were quenched in
silence.
The rightist newspapers ignored
his jabs, evidently because they
showed dissatisfaction with the
De Gasperi governments tagging
reforms. The Communists appar-
emily buried Senator Benton's
remarks because they showed that
Americans were hitting the in
ertias which the Communists often
hammer, thus undermining their
program.

Men high in the French govern

his true Communist colors only
after the war when he became a
Red member of Parliament-did

COntTlUutIUIlo
Representative Andy Biemiller
of Wisconsin has been delving into
the literature distributed by the
Committee for CO and thinks he
has q line on the answer. The
supporters of the elaborate edu-
cational operation, he finds, in
clude citizens who do not believe
in the income tax or collective
bargaining or labor's right to
strike. And some who think the
voters shouldn't be told how their
congressman vote.
From a pamphlet written by
Prof. H. L. Lutz of Princeton, tax
expert for the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers. and dis
tributed by the well-heeled CG
committee, Biemiller quotes this
passage:
when a future Edward Glib
bon writes a history of the de-
cline and fall of the American
Republic, the date he will use to
mark the beginning of the decline
will be March /, 1918. On that
date the people sanctioned Fed

pitchfork over his shoulder and a
whistle on his lips.
Once out Of sight Of the house,
the whistle died. The ache and
misery in his heart just wouldn't
let it go on. Still, he was going to
see the parade anyway, and pop

were happy.

and began to shake out the hay
as pop had asked him to do.

told himself, because il he did
pop wouldn't think him very
grateful for the half-dollar.
Jackie turned the hay in one
windrow and started on the next.
But all the while his heart fairly
sobbed with misery. And then alb
ruptly that same heart almost
ceased to beat. Jackie stared and
stared at something round and
shiny that lay in the stubbles un-
der the forkful of hay he'd just
picked up. After a long time, it
seemed, his heart began to thump
again. He felt goose pimples
breaking out all over his body. He
wanted to cry and shout and do all

And then Jackie remembered
that he'd been working here on the
afternoon before, and the half-dol-
lar must have slipped out Of his
pocket. He picked up the coin,
squeezed it lovingly and, holding
it tightly in his clenched fist, went
to shaking out the hay again. The
best nom and the best pop in the
world, he told himself joyfully.

x PICTURE may or may not be

Chinese proverb claims, but It GER

if published in a newspaper. In addi-

Editors appreciate the interest
shown when readers suggest pub

fies them as news and means they
should be selected for their news
value. Unless a photograph is Of
someone or some event currently
in the news, publication has little
or no meaning.
Assuming that a picture has news
value, it then must be of such quail
ity it will reproduce well in the
paper. Many photographs which are
entirely satisfactory for an album
cannot be reproduced distinctly
enough to be recognizable in a news
paper. Publishing such pictures is
a disappointing waste of space, eff
fort and money.
There are other factors, too, such
as permission of those in the pic
ture for its publication, its news
value or the amount of interest in
it among the papers readers, and
whether there is time to make a cut.
