District Legion Farley
Hears Keenan, AssaiI
Stain as War Criminal

A good case could be made
against Premier Stain as a war
criminal on a par with TOTO and
Hitler. an American Legion gath
ering was told last night.
Joseph B. keenan,, Washington
attorney, who was the chief prose-
cutor at the japanese war crimi-
nal trials, termed Stain an "in-
ternational gangster" in an ad-
dress at a conference on SUBJ
versive activities held by the Le-
gion at the Washington Hotel. .
Mr.. keenan, said two Of the
three international "gangster
groups" the German Nazis and
the japanese militarists, had been
eliminated. But, the third, Rus
sia's Communist high command,
is still in existence.
Called Malignant Character.
'It isn't good old joe" Mr..
Keenan, declared. "He is a wick
ed, malignant character. 1t is
high time we recognize we are
dealing with malignancies."
The conference, with Legion
representatives from IL Eastern
States in attendance, opened yes
terday.I
Speakers on today's program in
clude Edward P. Morgan. attorney
and former administrative as
sistant to j. Edgar Hoover, FBI
head and Vincent w. Hartnett,
author and lecturer.
Miss Edna Lonigan, former
Treasury economist, told the group
yesterday that many American
women have weakness for COM
munist propaganda about world
peace and full employment.
Communists, she said, have had
considerable success in getting
control of key positions in women's
organizations. Where they do not
actually make club policy they
often influence members unwit-
tingly to pass resolutions in line
with Soviet aims, she said. Com
munist planting" of propaganda
has been especially active in small
towns, she said.
Urges Counter Offensive"
Miss Lonigan urged that the
Legion and other groups plan q
counter offensive" by arranging
for lecturers, writer's and others
to assist women's organizations in
counteracting left-wing speakers
and propaganda.
A new kind of war" developed
by Communists in recent years,
she explained, is to enter wherever
possible into peacetime civilian
organization activities and pro-
grams.
Women in particular must be
constantly on their guard so that
their natural wish for world peace
and good employment conditions
is not distorted by Communists,
she declared.
Priest Raps Roosevelts.
The Rev. John F. Cronin, spe-
cialist with the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, cited exam
pies OF the actions of persons he
said are unfamiliar with COM
munism. These included:
"The pathetic utterances of
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in regard
to the Hiss case s. Surprise ex-
pressed by many when Prof. KLAUS
Fuchs of England turned out to
be q Communist Mistakes
made by the late President Roose-
velt at Yalta."
Father Cronin declared that he
was being kind in his use Of the
word mistakes. 'They were tragic
blunders," he said, were made
only because he (Mr. Roosevelt)
didn't understand Communism.
Mr.. Roosevelt made concession
after concession. He gave them
(Russia) Asia-almost gave them
Europe, He thought with 10Th
century diplomacy he could win
over Communism"

Hundred Children
Have No Money
For School Lunch

Already there are 100 children
going without lunch at school.
And this is only the beginning.
In most of the. schools the sur
vey of the number of children
without money to buy lunch at
school or from homes unable to
provide them with even a slim
substitute for the nourishing meal
they should have is incomplete.
But with the figure reaching the
l00-hnark at this early date, indi-
cations are it will soar far above
as school days pass.
These 100 children are real
hardship cases. The county vel
fare department is familiar with
the family of nearly every one.
In each instance either the head
of the family IS willing and
anxious to work but unable TO :
find employment or else illness
keeps the wage Garner from
bringing home . pay check.
And because of something that
is not their fault these children
are hungry.
This year the Kiwanis Club in
Pascagoula Is joining the Chron-
icle Star and Advertiser in efforts
to provide lunch money for these
boys and girls. R. NJ. Lucas, chair
man of the underprivileged chill
dren's committee. announced that
the club will contribute $3.50 to
the fund and will have a speaker
at meeting of each organization
to solicit cooperation in bringing
these children to the lunch table.
This is the third year the
Chronicle Star and Advertiser has
waged this drive and each year
1t has been successful with re-
spGnse from Jackson county cit
izens and groups and also from a
few persons who live elsewhere
One man sends check for SIS each

Either lump sum may be
contributed to the fund or an

City May Get Ownership
Of Pascagoula Schools
CoImer Leads
Fight In House

Pascagoula stands to gain
title to $435,000 in school
buildings erected here by the
federal government during
the war years through action
of the Federal House yester-
day.
In floor fight led by Cong.
w. M. Colmer. the House over
rode action of a joint commit
tee which would have cut Sll.S
from the s23-million bill for
aid to cities affected by federal
building or activities.
Both Pascagoula and Moss
Point also stand to gain substan-
tial federal funds for operation
and maintenance of their school
systems.
In addition Moss Point would
be eligible for a sum in excess of
100000 for classroom or lunch
room construction under the
building aid phase of the bill,
Luther w. Tanner, superintend-
ent of schools, previously esti-
mated.
Expects $4,000 This Year
Last year Pascagoula received
$86, ,802 in federal school aid funds
for operation, and has set up in
this years budget $4,000 from
the same source. Total Pascagou-
la school budget for 1950-51 is
$254. .561. 40.
Moss Point last year received
$4,000 IN federal aid funds. This
years budget sets up no antici-
pated federal aid but does carry
an item of $4,000 as "antici-
pated revenue from OF he r
sources" Total Moss Point budget
for this year is $165, ,889.
Thomas II. Wells. PascaqouIa
superintendent of schools. who
is In Washington. told the
Chronicle Advertiser Thursday
morning thsf these bills pro-
vide funds for maintenance Of
schools in the first case and for
school buildings In the second
bill.
"The bills also provide author
ization on a permanent basis for
aid to schools having children liv-
ing on federal property" he said.
"This aid is provided for with >
four-year program for residual
populations.
Immediate effect from the
building bill is to give title to
Pascagoula on four buildings con-
structed by the federal govern
ment at cost of $435, 900.
Colmer Answers Plea
Substantial cash grants will
follow based on complicated
formula. Cong. Colrher returned
to Washington Monday morning
at request of local school officials
to organize the successful fight" /"
The four buildings referred to
are South, Lake and Beach ele-
