Man Threatens To
Shoot Woman; Is
Told Toe Ahead

NEW .YORK.-tP.-The war
between men and women has
produced no heroine more mill
tant than Senorita Minerva Ber-
nardii1o of the Dominican Re-
public. Senorita Bernardifla be-
lieves in equal rights and she's
willing to take the consequences.
incidentally, she was one of
the four women who signed the
original United Nations charter.
For her part in UN. work shd
was honored by that regiment of
feminists, the National Council
of Women.
Senorita Bernardino herself
revealed what she means by
equal rights, telling q story of an
incident at the Paris assembly of
the U.N. She said one of the dele
Gates was enraged because she
had defeated one of his resolu-
tons. In his anger he said to
Senorita Bernardino: IF you
were a man 1 would shoot you!"
She said: Within the terms of
the United Nations charter there
is no discrimination against wo-
men. Go ahead and shoot"
However; the fellow turned
out to be a cad. He refused to
shoot. So the work goes on.

ton in various countries, to make
it my business first and foremost
to find out exactly where the score
stood. I have tried to find out and
to state publicity not only the
weaknesses of the communists po-
sition in Asia, but also the points
that might increase the danger
that they will make progress with
the people of that part of the
world. All of the peoples Of Asia,
in my opinion. would benefit by
democratic evolution in ways that
are impossible under communist
revolution. But before democratic
policies can be evolved and put
into operation, it is absolutely vital
to know what the score is. Sound
conclusions cannot be built on
ignorance, wishful thinking or un-
derestimating the adversary.
Files Open to U. S. Agencies.
For many years, I have made
every effort to keep in touch with
as many people as possible who
are informed about the Far East,
and I have obtained as much in
formation as I could from such
persons. whether they were Com
munists. nti-Communists, lib
erals. conservatives. businessmen,
politicians. Army officers. or schol-
ars. Everything that I have been
able to learn has been published
in my books. and hundreds of
magazines and newspaper articles.
It is and has been freely available
to scholars, Government officials,
and anyone interested in reading
about the subjects that are con-
cerned. My attorneys have offered
all of my files including my per-
sonal correspondence to the Tyd-
ings Committee. My files are also
available. and have always been,
to the FBI. State Department,
and all other agencies of Govern
ment.
If anybody has sworn that I
have been or am a member of the
Communist Party, he is a perjurer.
He should be prosecuted to the
limit of the law.
The fact of the matter is that
I and my writings have been de-
nounced by Soviet, Mongol, jap

Department.
Senator Bridges, who had said
earlier that a master spy" must
have loaded the State Depart

replied that the President was
charging him with sabotaging a
bipartisan policy that just doesn't t
exist, especially with reference
to the Far East.
He said that in the past he has
supported administration foreign

that the President is using bi-
partisan foreign policy as a slo.

Senator Smith said he hope:
something can be worked Out
with the help of Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, Of Michigan
which will bring a large number
of Republicans back in line be-
hind bipartisan policies.
He said, however. that If tn.

port, it will have to take the Re
publicans into it's confidence ir

help form the policies they are
expected to back.

Mr.. Lattimore's name had been
given to the subcommittee as
being Russia's master spy in the

Mrs. baltimore, who has gray
ing hair and a quick, bright
smile, said she was perfectly
appalled," when she learned by
telephone call from a Wash

husband had been accused of be-
ing a spy.
That was week ago last
Thursday. two days after Senator
Mccarthy gave Mr.. baltimore S

days before it was used in the
newspapers. Within a few hours
after the name had been given
the committee in secret it was

Mrs. baltimore said the Wash

telephoned, asked If she had
heard the charges against her
husband.
Goodness, I've heard nothing
else for two weeks" Mrs. Latti-

he was referred to the earlier

there because this one Of the key
areas to the political problems of
Asia.
1t is my personal and deep con-
viction that political or economic
collapse in any nation in this area
would expose the whole area to
Communist inundation and con-
troll.
If anyone thinks that Americans
can represent democratic interests
in such countries as AfghaniStan,
while hit-and-run politicians like
Joe Mccarthy snipe from the
Washington sidelines, he's sadly
mistaken. McCarthy's vicious at
tacks on the highest officials Of
our State Department are ac-
complishing results for Russia
which exceed their widest hopes.
Do you think that any anti-Soviet
nation in the world could possibly
feel comfortable dealing with our
State Department when one OF
our own Senators accuses it of
harboring 81 card-carrying Com
munists? The Soviet Union ought
to decorate Mccarthy for telling
the kind of lies about the United
States that Russian propagandists
couldn't invent.
Denies Ever Being Communist.
AS for myself, I OF course Bit
terly resent this nonsense. No
one likes to be splattered with
mud. even by a madman., After a
lifetime of work, devoted to the
interests Of his country. no man
likes to be called disloyal. My own
published works, about II books
and IS or a hundred magazine
articles and hundreds of news

of my constant efforts to develop
a program which would promote
the independence OF Far Eastern
nations and protect legitimate
United States interests.
I am not and never have been
a member of the Communist Party

of communism either within the
