ATLANTIC CITY. May 49,
CIO President Philip Murray

In his three main points, Mr.

American employers are CON

Il think that we. (the CIO) are
the only organization in the
United States of American that
has taken practical steps to erad-
icate communism from our move
ment-the only one," he said.
Mr.. Murray said the congress
sional approach to the Communist
issue is "a mess of confusion" and
lis distasteful and discouraging. "
He said the CIO had been toll

All Described as Spies.
All American diplomats, repre-
sentatives of religious denomina-
tions and businessmen are de-
scribed as spies by all the satellite
governments and are subjected at
best to deportation and at worst
to long periods of Imprisonment.
The American Ambassador saw
no reason for subjecting his per-
sonnel either to tragic hardship or
to indignities and ordered his men
to rush their preparations to get
out Of Czechoslovakia as quickly
as they can. They are leaving in
the Ambassadors plane or by car,
provided that the Czech govern
ment is generous enough to let
them take their automobiles out
of the country.
There is actually no precedent
in history for such a denial of in
ternational courtesy. When re.

broken their representatives are
given every facility to get out OF
the country. and they are never
rushed or threatened. The gov

your poor old grandmother. You
naturally deny it, as soon as you
have recovered from the shock.
The papers report accurately
what you have to say and the
headline reads:

Grandmother"
Effect on Readers.
The effect on all readers will
not be the same. Some will say
to themselves that Smiths denial
should be accepted until it is
proved false. Others, including
some who may not have seen the
original accusation, will say.
why, the dirty skunk! Imagine
a guy numbering his own grand
mother! There out to be a .law!"
and pass on to the sports pages
And from that time on they will
remember Smith as the man who
, denied" numbering his grand
mother-or, as the human mind
works, the man who probably did
murder his grandmother. This
latter reaction is certainly as COM
mon as that of the reader who
says. Let's hear the evidence"
There's nothing much you can
do about it. You had three
choices: To admit the crime, to
deny it, or refuse to talk. You
took the best of the three, but it
is a bad best. For, while it is
natural to assume that q man
making an accusation is sincere,
the man forced to make a denial
seldom gets the benefit of that
assumption.
Nobody understands this un-
fortunate quirk in our habits of
thought better than the average
practicing politician. Taking .ad-
vantage Of it is one of the routine
tricks of the trade. But none. in
our time-no American, at least
has shown such mastery of the
trick as has Jumping Joe Nc
Carthy, the Wisconsin Senator. He
has been demonstrating now for
two months. Unless his Republi-
can colleagues call him of, he will
continue to demonstrate until
election day in November. With a
few exceptions. such as Senators
Lodge and Flanders, said coll
leagues seem disposed to let him
keep it up. AS they see it. he
has the administration on the
defensive, unable to do more than
deny.

Serves As Propaganda.
It is obvious, of course, that
the exit orders were intended tc
serve as propaganda ammunition
in countries behind the Iron
Curtain. The shameful treatment
accorded to representatives of the
American Government will be used
to show the satellite people that
they do not need to hope for
assistance from America, since
that "imperialist nation" cannot
even protect its diplomats.
Besides the propaganda element
in this unprecedented action by
the Czech government there is a
more important motive. CZecho-
slovakia is an important strategic
center in Europe. In recent
months the Russian missions"
have been greatly increased. A
number of top-ranking generals
and engineers also have arrived
in that country lately.
Although a number of areas
have been declared restricted, that
is to say inaccessible to outsiders,
and the local population is not
allowed to move without special
passes issued by the state police,
there is always danger that news
of Communist developments would
reach the American Embassy.
In Czechoslovakia the bulk of
the population-except for the
Moscow-selected members of the
government and a handful of their
followers who enjoy an easy life
serving the Kremlin-is hostile to
Russia. Many Czechs would be
willing to risk their lives to tell
us about war preparations in their
country.
At one time our embassy in
Prague consisted of So officials
diplomatic, consular and infor-
nation service). This number
was reduced to 60 at the request
of the Prague government. Now
the handful of men and women
left in the embassy will have
to deal with a mass of routine
work and will not be able to
maintain communications with
any one, except on rare occasions,
with the head of the American
desk in the Foreign Office.
In this way Moscow expected to
be fully safeguarded against any
indiscretions regarding its mill
tary moves in Czechoslovakia.
