Mrs. Lee Calls on Women Voters
To Recopture Pioneering Spirit

The young mother, acquiring
an interest in government while
her children are young, could
be persuaded-or pushed out
later into public life," she sug-
geSted.
The mother of four and grand
mother OF one, Mrs. Lee, herself,
has been active in the league for
number Of years.
But her ability to accept the
national presidency and still
maintain her home is due to her
Irish housekeeper, who. with her
family Of three. is part of the
household.
The Lee home near Farming
ton. Conn.,, is a 12-acre country
place where Mrs. Lee likes to gar
den. She doesn't like to cook,
however. So about % years ago
she obtained the help Of a young
Irish immigrant-Mary Branneck.
When the Lees moved into a
large house. Mary got married and
her husband started working for
the family. too. Just before the
arrival of Mary's only child, her
sister came over from Ireland to
"see us through the crisis" Mrs.
Lee continued. And we've had
husband, wife. sister and child
ever SINCE" she laughed.
Mary. incidentally, takes an &C.
tive part in the Democratic party
of the community although Mrs.
Lee is registered Republican.
At present, Mrs. Lee spends a
week at home and the next in
Washington, a schedule that prob
ably will be changed to allow more
time in the Capital later on. She
is living in an apartment in
Georgetown obtained by the league
as a residence for its president.
It's the first time the league has
had such quarters, since Mrs. Lee
is the first housewife to head the
organization and the others have
made their homes here.
All Of the Lee children will be
away at school next year. And
MIR. Lee, a research official with an
aircraft company. often has busi-
ness here so he probably will be
a frequent visitor in Washington.

preservation Of the American way
Of life, and are needed as much
in peace as in war.
"They serve as patriotic me-
diums to build in the hearts and
minds Of Americans an under
standing Of the principles Of free
dom that have made America. !"
she said.
This in itself will create en-
thusiasm for our way Of life which
is the surest barrier to the infil-
tration of foreign ideologies,
whether these be Fascist or Com
munist," she added.
Mrs. Bolton paid tribute to Mrs.
Emma Jones of Sunnyside, Calf. .,
founder of the first Navy Mothers
Club in McAllen, Tex, and honor
delegate at the convention.
The Navy Mothers Club also
received praise from Gen. Kerr.
Pointing out that their members
operate in more than half Of the
Veterans Administration hospi-
tails, Gen. Kerr declared: "You
can contribute what no paid en-
ployee can contribute. You can't
measure it in figures or dollars.
You're part of the medical team
of doctor. nurse and volunteer.
and your job is q continuous one
that isn't going to be finished In

Womans Club Editor

Mrs. John G. Lee, president o.
the League of Women Voters o.
the United States, would like tt
see the organization recapture
some of the pioneering spirit that
in years past developed real ex.
perts in various fields Of govern.
ment.
Meeting the Washington press
yesterday for the first time as heaC
Of the SO, ,000-member organization
Mrs. Lee was asked what her per.
sonal objectives would be, beyond
carrying out league policies as de-
termined by the membership anc
board.
fIn recent years." she said
we've succeeded in getting a lot
of people to know a little about
government. And I think we
should maintain that program
and keep working hard at it.
But I'd like to see the league
60 back and re-establish some OF
its old ability to do a substantial
job in having some women know
a great deal in different govern
ment fields"
Such experts. she pointed out
could make a contribution in
public life. In addition, they
would be helpful in preparing
materials for the league member
ship on subjects under study
The principal purpose OF the
League of Women Voters is to
promote political responsibility
through informed and active par.
ticipation of citizens in govern
ment. Mrs. Lee pointed out yes
terday that the emphasis on
reaching large number of people
came about in the war years.
The new league president also
thinks that the organization af-
fordS an excellent training ground
for young mothers who might
take an active part in public life
when their children are older. The
leagues program. she said, is
geared to include women who can
give only an hour or so a week. as
we'll as to those who have more
time for it's activities.

China because the Communists seized that bank when they con- quered China. When that event happened, the legitimate officers of that bank were declared to be war criminals and the Communists ap- pointed their own officials. The object of the appointment of Fred erick V. Field was to take over the property and deposits held by the Bank of China in the United States.
 Several banks in the United Stat es were notified of the intentions of Soviet China. As the govern ment of the United States recog.' nizes Nationalist China and re- fuses recognition to Soviet China, banks generally have ignored the Communist notice and have contin- led to do business with the duly authorized officials Of the Bank of China.
 inc well Fargo Bank and Union Trust Co.,, in California, however, wanted a judicial decision before they would turn over funds depos- tied with them in good faith, to those who made the deposit.
 Therefore, suit was brought by the Soviet-seized Bank of China against the Wells Fargo Bank. The

Joe also has a record which has aroused comment for granting "quiche" divorces for his political friends or their clients.
 In Wisconsin, divorces are not supposed to be filed in two separ- ate jurisdictions. But when Me- Carthy was a judge in Appleton, Wis, his political friends, Con- gressman Kersten and Arlo Me Kinnon, suddenly brought the di- vorce case of Kordas vs. Kordas before him, even though it was al- ready filed in Milwaukee. They got alrloss in mediate action. The com- plaint was tiled on Sept. 3, 1946 and the divorce was granted Sep tember 5.
 The two attorneys, Kersten and McKinnon both contributed to Me- Carthy's political campaign.
 Mccarthy also granted dlvorces at about that time to two other Milwaukee residents, Chester J.. Roberts and Eileen Roberts, who were represented by Max Litow, prominent Republican who also contributed to McCarthy's cam paign. The divorce was granted in about two days.
 During his 1946 campaign against Senator Bob La Toilette, Mccarthy not only failed to resign from the bench, but swapped circuits with other judges so as to campaign in various parts of the state, with the result that the board of bar commissioners recommended to the Wisconsin Supreme Court that he be disbarred. The Supreme Court stated that the Senator had vio- lated the state constitution and the code of ethics of the American Bar Association, but failed to dis bar him.
 That's the record of the man who now so vigorously challenges the records of State Department em- ployees

Although it is generally agreed that the tension between Russia and the West is materially reduced, by comparison with conditions of year or two ago, the fact remains that the Iron Curtain is becoming mere formidable barrier.
 Following the arrest of Robert Vogeler late last year, private American travel in Hungary was for bidden by the American Government. Now, close on the heels of our rupture of diplomatic relations with Bulgaria all private travel by Americans there is stopped It seems quite likely that the same thing will happen in other areas notably Romania

Problems of Representation

Problems of Representation
 Frederick " Field is busy man who now, among other things, is the President of the Americana Chinese Export Company, which has been organized to engage in trade with Soviet China. He is also a Con- munist editor and one of the mainstays of many Communist front organizations.
 Frederick Vanderbilt Field is an- other example of the native Am erican of old-family stock in rad ical movements. I am particularly anxious to call attention to this group because, in the Hiss case, the Eoint was often made that 1t is unbelievable that person with Hisss background could be Con- munist. Fields background is of the very best-including Harvard.
 So, all of a sudden he becomes the representative of the bank Of

United States District Court for Northern California will have to decide which is the rightful ruler of China, Chiang kai-Shek or Mao tze-Tung.
 Frederick V. Field has retain ed Wolf, Pepper, Ross and Wolf as counsel and they have advised him ". That he is the only per son legally authorized to act on behalf of the Bank of China. :" in the United States.
 It would seem that as only Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, can determine, on authority of the Pre- sident of the United States, which government the United States re- cognizeS and who is entitled to speak for that government in any of it's capacities, Messrs. Wolf, Pop per, Ross and Wolf therefore have usurped MT. Acheson's authority Fields relations with the Bank of China stem from the American council of the institute of Pacific relations. Field used to be Secre- tary of the American council of the institute of Pacific relations and also it's angel and there he met Chi chao-Ting, in 1886, who is now assistant general manager of the Soviet-seized bank. Since then Chi has been in and out of the United States-in 1888, he went back to China; in 1889, he returned to the United States; in 1941, he went back to China; in 1945, he came here and returned to China.
 A busy commuter, this pr. Chi, and now he has landed a job with Soviet China. Maybe he belonged to them right along; do not know
 The way the Communists seized the Bank of China was to declare certain Chinese as war criminals and then to confiscate their invest ments in the bank without any process of law. It is mixed gov ernmsnt and privately owned bank '.
 Why Americans should represent a regime which the government of the United States does not re cognize is difficult to understand, although I assume that 1t is quite legal The law has proved itself a hulwark in the United States for the Communists; they seem always to find a law to use and they go ahead doing as they please III our country, even stealing our atom bomb
 Yet it would seem reasonable to assume that when this country is in a state of permanent war with Soviet Russia, no American would serve our enemy or any of it's satellites. Maybe Congress needs to pass a law about that, too.

1TcCattbv's Witch rnckfires

Last year, likable young Sen- ator Joe Mccarthy of Wisconsin asked some friends for advice on what he could do to ensure ms reelection in 1853. He wanted to start early. he confided, to build a record that would make certain lis return to the Senate.
 One friend urged that he push the St. Lawrence Seaway which would benefit the Great Lakes and bring new business to Wisconsin. $ Il was also urged that he work for closer industrial cooperation between ueighboring Canada and the Great Lake states. Finally 1t wss suggested that any Senator who consistently attacked Con- murism would have a great appeaI for the voters.
 Tcday the man who urged this latter advice, Father Edmund A. walsh of Georgetown University is not happy at the outcome; while Republican leaders are getting un- happier by the minute at the an- ties of the Junior Senator from Wisconsin.
 h the first place, McCarthy's $ witch hunt for Communists inside tie State Department has dis rueted our entire foreign service at a time when our foreign rela- tions are more delicately balanced than ever. Sincere Republicans consider this a calamity.
 Second, politically minded Repub- lisans hitherto could make broad charges about Communists in the stlte Department and get away with it. But now the harem-scarem Senator from Wisconsin has re- dueed it all to cold figures. He started by claiming there were 2Oi Communists or pro-Communlsts ln the State Department, then reduc- cd it to 57. But so far, any oi the real pro-Communists he's men, toned had already been kicked out
 Finally some of the Republican Senators who really know the gentleman from Wisconsin and the situation in his state are afraid the Democrats will raise the cry: Lock who's talking"
 For Joe Mccarthy had some troubles back home which don't bear too much inspection including an income tax argument and a move for his disbarment.

His tax troubles occurred in l943, when the State of Wisconsin claim cd he failed to disclose an income of s42C00. Joe explained that he had made some money speculatlng in stocks while he was out of the limited States and not citizen of Wisconsin; therefore, he didn't have to pay state income tax. How ever. Mccarthy still held office as a state judge at the same time he claimed he was not citizen Of Wisconsin, and in the end, tax authorities accepted a compromise .ayment.
 Joe also managed to compro-

of giving proper protection to Americans travelling
 living there And this creates obstacles for those whose business curiosity leads them to China.
 It is difficul to quarrel with any one of the new restrictions placed by the State Department the travel of private American citizens There is plausible reason each of those restrictions And yet the net result is to exaggerate the barriers between the two worlds Never even during the extreme tension pre- ceding World War H. has so much of the world been out of bounds to American travellers.
