so Organizations Join
AT Legion Conference
To Fight Communism
BY the Asseeiaied Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Repre-
sentatives of so national organiza-
tlons, claiming a combined men,
bership of 50.000,000, have laid
the groundwork for permanent
organization to combat commu-
nism in the United States.
The action was taken on the
closing session yesterday of two
day "All American Conference"
sponsored by the American
Legion.
The $50 delegates voted at the
Hotel Astor to form "a united
front against a common enemy
world communism"
The American Legion's COM
mander, George N. Craig, stressed
the role of religion in the battle
against communism, and invited
all loyal Americans to join the
fight. He named a 17-member
national steering committee to
direct the anti-communist drive.
Mundt Warns of A-Bomb.
The conference heard Senator
Mundt. Republican. Of South Da-
kota state yesterday that Russia
now has a stockpile of atomic
bombs which could knock out
the United States in 80 seconds
If war started.
The delegates voted to hold a
second conference within 80 days
to establish a permanent pro-
American, anti-C Communist, uni
fled and cohesive organization"
A resolution adopted unani-
mously declared: "World commu-
nism is the greatest present threat
to domestic security and peace on
earth, and its No. l targets are
God and our American way of
life in the United States ="
Many Groups Represented.
The delegates included repre-
sentatives of patriotic, religious,
labor, business, civic, service, pro-
fessional, educational, fraternal,
veterans and social organizations
The committee appointed by
Mr.. Craig on authorization by the
delegates was instructed to "act
as a clearing house and informa-
tion center" on fighting commu-
nism. 1t also was instructed to
coordinate the work of the va
rious organizations in the cam
paign and to enlist public sup
port, without attempting to "con-
troll or supervise" the co-operat-
ing groups.
One of the resolutions adopted
by the delegates said:
Communism as practiced in
the United States is not an eco
nomic or political philosophy.
but is in fact a deliberate revo-
lutionary conspiracy inspired, di~
rected and financed by an alien
power"

On the Other Hand
Twenty-Eight Democrats Making
Life Bit Harder for President

time has anything less welcome
reached the Presidents desk. The
bill spells politics with q capital
P. but most confusing politics.
1t is not an issue the President
can take to the country with any
comfort. this being a Congress
sional and not a Presidential cleo
ton year. If he follows his nat
ural inclination and vetoes the
bill he will repudiate the votes
of % Democratic Senators and
indorse the votes of % Republi-
cans. Some of the % Democrats
carry considerable weight in the
party and have been helpful to
the President on many issues.
Some of the % Republicans are
consistent enemies of his general
policies.
The broad issue would be COM
pletely to the Presidents liking
if the votes were reversed. 1t Of
fers a battle for the little people
against the big corporate inter-
ests, one he could make under
standable in the brief time al
lowed at the whistle stops. But
explaining why a majority of the
Democrats voted for the gas pro-
dusers and a majority of the
Republicans voted for the gas
users will not be easy, even at the
places where the train stops
longer.
Opposition Made Clear.
What the President will do,
nobody knows. He made it clear
to the authors that he opposed
the bill as it came from the Sem
ate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee last summer. But the
authors hint that changes in the
language have made it satisfac-
tory to him. This is denied by
the Presidents closest advisors,
who say he has not indicated
approval or made any commit
ment. Chairman Boyle of the
Democratic National Committee
is quoted as saying the President
is still fatty opposed to the
measure.
Meantime feelings are fairly
raw. as evidenced by an amusing
exchange, in the closing hour of
debate, between Senators Douglas
and Connolly. Senator Douglas
had said the issue was between
IL million housewives and the sort
of people who entertain the Duke
and Duchess Of Windsor on 100
acre ranches.

NMU Begins Election
After Judge vacates
Restraining Order
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, April AFTER a
close legal scrape that almost
forced a postponement. the CIO
National Maritime Union today
begins it's biennial election.
The voting will last until June
80 to give all members, many of
whom are at sea or at far-f1ung
ports, a chance to vote. NMU
President Joseph Curran is run
ming for reelection against Rob-
ert McElroy.
Early yesterday the anti-Cur-
ran United Rank and File" Com
mittee won a court order restrain
ing NMU officers from starting
the election. The complaint said
that improper ballots had been
prepared.
Details of the charge were not
available.
However, after hearing attor-
neys from both sides at his home
last night, State Supreme Court
Justice Morris Elder vacated the
order he had signed earlier. and
thus allowed the election to start.
But he ordered a further hear
ing in court Monday, and directed
that ballots used be impounded
until the dispute is settled.
Mr.. Curran said his opponents
were interested only in disrupt
ing the organization of the NMU

This Changing World
McCarthy's Charges Against baltimore
Due to Be Presented to Grand Jury

This Russian was general in
the intelligence branch Of the
MVD (Soviet secret police until
1887, when he was sent to Athens
as Russia's minister. There he
began to worry about his own fu-
ture. News from Moscow indicated
that he might be included in the
purge which Stain was carrying
on against all whom he suspected
Of disloyalty.
Fled to Save Himself.
Wien a Soviet ship put into
Pireaus, seaport for Athens, and
the minister was invited to have
lunch aboard. he knew it was high
time that he take steps to save
himself. He fed from Athens for
healthier lands and finally came
to the United States. where he
was naturalized and has remained
a loyal American citizen ever
since. He is now on the Govern
ment payroll.
Whether he has positive proof
|of Senator McCarthy's charges
against Mr.. baltimore remains to
be seen. He is said by the Wiscon-
sin Republican to have received
information concerning the Johns
Hopkins professor at the time
when the general was one Of Rus
sia's top intelligence men.
The FBI soon will interview this
former top Soviet official, but
what It learns will remain secret
until such time as the Attorney
General orders the information
released. This can happen only
in the event Of a grand jury in
vestigation.
The Tydings subcommittee may
subpoena this former Soviet dip
lomat. For the time being the
subcommittee is not fully prepared
to investigate these charges. Its
chief counsel was appointed some
time ago but until last week he
had not been put on the payroll
because he did not have the
necessary data with which to make
a real cross-examination of wit
neSseS.
Whether the subcommittee will
decide to continue its present pro-
cedure of listening to statements
from those accused by Senator
Mccarthy or will adopt methods
used by other investigating COM
mittees will be decided when Sen
ator Tydings returns from The
Hague, where he is attending the
Atlantic Pact conference with De-
fense Secretary johnson.

Ho Called Mere Figurehead
As Indo-China Red Leader
By the AssociLfed Press

HONG KONG, April 1.-The
China Mail reported today that
the real ruler of the Communist
rebel regime in Indo-China was
Nyugen Khanh Toan, not Ho Chi
Mini.
Quoting unidentified intelligence
sources. the reliable English Ian
guage paper said that Ho, old, all
ing and out of favor with Moscow,
had become a mere f1gurehead.
Nguyen, minister of education
in Hos so-called Republic of
Wet Man," was described as hav-
ing been trained in Moscow from
1929 through 1916, becoming Rus
sia's representative in Indo- China
in the latter year.
The paper said Nguyen and Ho,
accompanied by Lam Due Thu,
identified only as a former con-
sular employe of the French, were
now in Peiping negotiating mill
tary and economic treaties with
the Chinese Communist regime.

in case, make Constantine nr'"n'
as complete a file as possible and
turn the whole matter over to the
criminal division of the Justice
Department, which in turn car
ries it to the Attorney General,
who alone can decide whether to
prosecute.
When a case has important
national or international political
implications other high-ranking
officials, cabinet officers and the
President himself are consulted.
Case Cited as Example.
The case of "Mr. Adams" is
cited as an example. "Mr.
Adams" whose name is known
to very few American agents, was
a Russian sent here to head up
the Soviet espionage apparatus
in this country. He was followed
and when sufficient evidence was
collected a warrant for his arrest
was issued in 1915.
The warrant was never served,
however. "Mr. Adams" was per-
mitted to leave the country un-
molested because the top men Of
the Manhattan District, the atom
ic bomb project, pointed out
that in order to convict him in
formation connected with the
atomic bomb would have to be
presented in court. And at that
time it was believed that nobody
but a handful of Americans,
Britons and Canadians had any
idea of that deadly weapon.
Thus, while the FBI may have
substantial evidence against par
ticular persons who are doubtful
characters, poor security risks or
even foreign agents, it can do no
more than keep a file on them and
present it's information whenever
the Attorney General orders pro-
secution.
The former Soviet general"
mentioned by Senator Mccarthy
as the possessor of certain facts
concerning Mr.. baltimore is not
mystery man insofar as the FBI
is concerned. He also is known In
social and intellectual circles in
Washington and New York.
