Great Atlantic Storm
due 10 Miss Bermuda
BY The Assceiafed Press

MIAMI, Fla. Sept. THE
resort island Of Bermuda was
alerted today for a great storm
moving up the Atlantic, while
Northeast Florida and Southeast
Georgia felt the last gasps of q
Gulf hurricane.
The storm, inching in the gen.
eral direction of Bermuda, had
winds up to $50 miles per hour
near the center and hurricane
force winds CTS miles per hour or
more) extended outward 100 miles
in all directions.
It was due to pass west Of the
island resort, but gales were fore
cast there and the Weather
Bureau said a slight change in
direction would bring much higher
winds.
The hurricane was moving
northward at about 6 miles an
hour, which would bring the CEN
ter opposite Bermuda tonight.
The Gulf storm lost force as
it whirled northeastward across
Florida from the Tampa Bay
area, where it caused widespread
property damage along the
beaches.
1t had moved offshore up the
Florida Gulf coast since Sunday,
halting near the fishing village
of Cedar Key, 80 miles north of
Tampa. to give that area a ter
rife pounding.
Then it made a hairpin turn
to the Tampa area before losing
force and swinging northeastward
across the citrus belt. Moisture
from the storm was expected to
offset any losses to the States
orange and grapefruit crop.
The storm left three dead in
Florida, all killed when they came
in contact with fallen electric
wires.

Watch Repairman,
Who Is Also Nurse,
Faces Abortion Count

A 56-year- old watch repairman,
who told police he is also a male
nurse, today was held on a charge
of performing an abortion on a
22-year-old typist.
Walter j. Quantz of the 1900
block of Twentieth street NV,
denied the charge in all police
questioning thus far and when he
was brought before United States
Commissioner Cyril S. Lawrence
yesterday. His bond was set at
$500 and the case continued
until September 13.
She Seeks Divorce.
The woman, married to a SOL
dier now stationed in Japan and
the mother of his three-year- -old
child, told police she is seeking
a divorce from him and that the
father of the unborn child is
another soldier now stationed in
Alaska.
She gave Quantz's name to Ar
lington authorities after she was
admitted to Arlington Hospital in
serious condition from hemor-
rhages. She has since recovered.
Instruments Reported.
Quantz was arrested at his
home, where police found a num-
ber of watch repair instruments
and others they described as
abortion instruments" At the
time of his arrest. and in answer
to their queries about the instru-
ments in a little black bag, he
said he was male nurse.
Police today denied reports that
he was of the most active abor-
tionists in the city. He has lived

The resolution calls on the
Budget Bureau to use the trans
fer system as much as possible
and to see to it that the total
Federal employment next year
isn't any greater than it is now.
The resolution was referred to
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee. The Senate's Democratic
leadership is strongly opposed to
it, and indications are the COM
mittee will turn thumbs down on
the resolution.
NO DROP "A survey of the
Governments so-called non-sen-
sitive agencies indicates that few
of the employees in these bureaus
will lose their jobs as a result of
budget cuts.
While some bureaus took a cut
in funds, most of the money re-
ductions were small enough to
permit absorption of the slashes
without the necessity of firing
employees.
The big break for employees in
these non-military agencies was
Congress rejection of the Taber-
Thomas and Byrd-Bridges econ
omy amendments, which would
have resulted in sizable personnel
cuts. The final version approved
by Congress gives these agencies
enough leeway to keep dismissals
down to minimum.

President Truman has said Il
is true-and j. Edgar Hoover has
publicly testified to it-but to
lawyers of the Justice Department
there is no proof" that American
Communists are allied with any
foreign government or politica,
party.
This was admitted today by q
Justice Department spokesman.
For reporters. the spokesman
answered a question asked by Sen
ator Ferguson. Republican, ot
Michigan: Why has the Justice
Department failed to prosecute
Communists for refusing to divulge
organizational and financial Sc
crets under the 10-year-old Voor-
his Act?
Legal Technically.
The Departments answer is:
Although, of course, every one
knows 1t to be true, it Is techni-
|cally impossible to prove that the
American Communist Party is al
lied with Moscow and internation-
al communism.
The same legal technicality, the
Justice spokesman admitted, ap-
piled to the McCarran Communist
control bill, now being debated by
the Senate; even if Congress
passes it, any enforcement would
be dubious" because of the con-
tinued legal inability to prove
what every one knows"
Senator Ferguson stumbled on
what may become new Republi-
can evidence" as to administra-
ton restraint in acting against
Communists when he speculated
as to why the White House OBJ
jects to his and Senator McCar-
rams idea of requiring registra-
ton of all Communist Party and
Communist front" members.
Act Of 1910 Recalled.
THE Voorhis Act, passed by a
Democratic Congress in 1910, al
ready seems to require that the
Communists reveal full details as
to their organization and finan-
|ces," he noted and then added
land, incidentally, I wonder why
that act-has never been enforced?" ?"
A reporter first checked the act,
and then the Justice Department.
The Voorhis Act, aimed in 1910
at Fascist" organizations, re-
quires registration of any organi-
cation. "if its policies, or any OF
them, are determined by, or a:
the suggestion of. or in collab-
grafton with, a foreign govern
nent or political subdivision there
Of, or an agent, agency, or
lnstrumentality of a foreign gov
ernment, or political party in
a foreign country. or an interna-
tional political organization"
The Justice spokesman, a top
lawyer VINO Would o1rect any Sucn
prosecutions, said the Voorhis
Act had never been used.
I'm the three-month interval
between passage of the act and its
effective date" he recalled. "the
American Communist Party an
nounced its official disassociation
from the Communist Interna-
tionale and Earl Browder speci-
f1cally stated the action was
taken to avoid prosecution under
the Voorhis Act"
No proof" of Reaffiliation.
Since then, he added, there had
been no proof" Of any reaffilia-
ton between American Commu-
niStS and Moscow.

New York Governors
Race Will Be Made by
Lynch and Dewey

ALBANY. N. Y, Sept. RE
publicans today nominated Thom-
as E. Dewey for a third terms as
Governor Of New York and Dem
ocrats tapped Representative Wal
ter A. Lynch to oppose him in the
November 2 election.
Gov. Dewey, who only last Mon
day reversed his decision to re-
tire. was nominated by acclama-
/. ton Of shrieking delegates to the
Republican State convention at
Saratoga Springs.
In q dramatic move, Gov.
Oewey's name had been placed
: IN nomination by 1t. Gov. Joe R.
Hanley. who last Saturday re-
linquished his hitherto unopposed
claim on the gubernatorial can
didacy in favor of Gov. Dewey.
Dewey Nominates Hanley.
Minutes before Gov. Dewey was
nominated, he personally had
placed in nomination Mr.. Hanley'S
name for COP candidate for the
Senate. Mr.. Hanley, too, was nomi-
mated by tumultous acclamation.
! The 74-year-old Mr.. Hanley will
oppose the Democratic incumbent,
; 72-year -old Senator Herbert H.
Lehman. slated for unanimous
denomination today at the Dem
ocratic State convention in
Rochester.
At the Rochester convention,
Mr.. Lynch won the Democratic
nomination on the first roll call,
defeating Federal Security Ad-
ministrator Oscar r. Ewing, whose
name had been placed in nomi-
nation by a die-hard Albany
County delegation led by Daniel
P: O'Connell, county chairman.
Heavy Backing for Lynch.
Mr.. Lynch. a New Deal-Fair Deal
Congressman serving his sixth
term in the House, had the back
ing Of the five county leaders of
New York City and State Chair
man Paul E. Fitzpatrick.
Mr.. Lynch's nomination came
amid an air of pessimism in some
rank-and-f1le Democratic quar-
ters. Many delegates felt they
should run a better known candi-
date than the 56-year-old Mr..
Lynch against Gov. Dewey.

Justice Admits 1t Lacks Proof
Of II. S. Red Ties With Moscow

President Truman, both of whom
have publicly called American
communism part of an interna-
tional conspiracy.
"Unquestionably they are right,
he admitted. "but we cannot go
into court and prove our case
by those simple statements.
The reporter asked about the
identity of the American Commu-
mist and Moscow party lines"
"The fact that American Com
muniSts parrot what Moscow says
is, OF course, circumstantial evi-
dence." was the answer. but it
is not enough proof to go to
court"
Then came the matter of the
pending McCarran bill, aimed at
"Communist-controlled organiza-
tions," which it Identifies as "those
substantially dominated or con-
trolled by the foreign government
or political organization control
ling the world Communist move
ment."
Same problem" ruled the Jus
tice lawyer. 1--WE might know it
to be true. but proving it would
be another matter"
Question of COnstitutionality.
There is also big question, ,"
he added. whether the Voorhis
Act is constitutional. It requires
that organizations dedicated to
forceful overthrow of the Govern
ment register as to their full in
tent and how they propose to do
1t. Enforcement Of that would
mean forcing people to reveal evil
dence that would incriminate
them"
Senator Ferguson exploded when
the reporter told him the "official''
answer to his question.
"The courts of the country are
supposed to determine the consti-
tutionally Of law-not the Attor-
ney General" he stated. THE ar
gument used against the Voorhis
Act could also be raised against
a law requiring automobile Ii
censes; I suppose the department
would say that it is illegal to make
a man register his ownership of
an automobile because, If he had
an accident, that might be used
against him"
Senator Ferguson says he is
quite sure that an able prosecu-
tor can prove a connection be-
tween Moscow and American Com
munists."
If this administration cannot
prove that" he suggested. they
are going to have a devil of a
time proving to the United Ma
tions that Joe Stain had a part
In the invasion of Korea"
