 He said that he had been trying to get away from the party, hadn't attended meetings since l944 and was fed up with highhanded Com munist tactics. However, he said that it was hard to get away when you were once a member because the comrades blackmailed you by threatening to expose your mem bership.
 He said he gradually had come around to my point of view that Russia was the chief diSrupter of the peace and that her tactics un- der the Kremlin were just as Inn perialistic as under the Czar.

 At first I thought I could wean Older completely away from Com munism and had some talks along this line with J.

ON THE REORGANIZATION ACT'

If the stormy sessions of the new Board of Admin istration are any indication there should be more fireworks forthcoming the highly controversial Reorganization Act.
 Wednesday and Thursday Attorney General J Gerald Williams holding the fort single-handed against the Governor and his new Board
 From the time of it's introduction in the House March G. the Reorganization Act" has been under steady and intense Two major legal points have provided the ammunition.
 First is the question whether members of the legislature (who with the Governor, the Attorney General and the Tax Commissioner, comprise the Board) can legally hold office members of the Board of Administration. The language of Section II of the Organic Act specifically prohibits legislators from holding other offices. We quote Section Il verbatim:
 "Tbat no member of the legislature shall hold or be appointed to any office which has been created or the salary or emoluments of which have been increased, while he was member, during the term for which he elected and for one year after the expiration of such term; and no person holding a commission appointment under the United States shall be a member of the legislature or shall hold any office under the government of said territory" Second point is that both houses of the legisa- tre elected members to the Board of Administration under the provisions of Act which was not yet law - Election of Board members accomplished on March g and the bill authorizing the election was -not-sisaed until March 27.
 Interesting too is the fact that Governor Gruen- ing, staunch supporter of the Reorganization Act apparently had his doubts to the Acts legality At any rate, he requested opinion from the attorney general to its legality He advised by the attorney general that the bill was in conflict

parttime for me, in addition to his other chores.
 Canadian Spy Ring
 Andy was nice boy, worked hard and I never dreamed at first he had any links with the Commun- ists. But as time passed and wrote more and more critical stories about Russia I became suspicious. He frequently argued against the col umns which criticized Russia.
 I recall especially the column I wrote exposing the Russian. spy ring in Canada. At that time-l946 "a great many Americans still were devoted to the idea that we could and must cooperate with Russia, and the critical mail I received calling me a liar and a warmonger was heavy. Older was among those who deprecated this column.
 Later friend reported that he had seen Older with both a member of the Soviet Tass News agency and the editor of the Soviet Infor- nation Service, which was publish ed by the Russian Embassy As a result, I went to J. Edgar Hoover, told him of this report and asked whether he had any information regarding Older and a possible af- filiation with Communism.
 MT. Hoover reported a week or SC later that Older was listed as a member of the Communist party in Washington.
 Next day I called Older in, fig uring that in conformity with standard Communist practice he would deny membership in the par ty. But he didn't. He told the truth
 Dazzling AuthOress
 In a way this made things more difficult. If he had lied, it would have been easy to fire him. Btu when a man tells the truth you cer. tainly owe it to him to listen to hi! story
 So we had a long talk, during which Older said he had joined th' party early in l940 largely through the influence of Ruth McKenny author of My Sister Eileen" anC editor of the New Masses from l93 to l946, who later broke with Com munism. The counsel for the Sen ate Internal Security Committe states that Miss McKenny brok with the party at the same tim Browder had his difficulties.
 Older's father was born in Rus sian Poland. and Andy had bee ardently anxious for peace betweel the United States and Russia. H

with the Organic Act. pointed out above and that the Board illegally constituted. He was further advised to refrain from signing the b thus exercis- ing his veto power However, for reasons best known to himself Governor Gruening chose to ignore this counsel and signed the bill anyway.
 Just why the Governor rejected the advice of the Attorney General is something we may never know We won't hazard guess
 However the events leading up to the signing of the Reorganization Act make us wonder whether Governor Gruenng made his decision solely on the merits of the bill whether political considerations were involved.
 In timetable form, here's what happened: March g = Senate passes HE Al Reorganiza- tion BiD by vote of Il to ,.

 Sometime after this meeting and before 600 PM Governor signed HB Al.

 day
 However, Ridgway warned that the negotiators still had many dit- ferences to reconcile. He added that the differences were largely technical, and agreement seemed certain on basic points.
 It would seem apparent from this cable that Ridgway has sur mounted the most important point he was instructed to make with the Communists; namely, that U. N. truce observers were to patrol both north Korea and south Korea to lprevent any further import of troops and arms.
 Both Secretary or State Acheson and Secretary of Defense Marshall had cabled Ridgway that a truce not supervised by U. N. observers would not be worth the paper it is written on. They did not want a huge Communist army to be built up in north Korea during subse- quent long drawn out talks for per manent peace.
 U. N. supervision on Communist territory was expected to be quite hurdle, inasInuch as Moscow for long time vetoed the Baruch plan whereby international obser- vers would inspect arms plants in Russia, the United States, and other countries to report on atom ic defense.

Joint Senate-HouSe Committee Probing Omnibus Bills
Calls Recess On Hearings on Immigration until Apr9

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 20
In a surprise move. the joint Sc
nate-House committee studying ON
nibus immigration and naturaliza-
ton legislation has recessed its hear
ings until April 9. according to the
JACL Anti-Discrimination Com
mittes today.
The committee originally intend
ed to conclude hearings following
the testimony of the Association of
immigration and Nationality Law
yers last Thursday.
1t was almost pm. Thursday be-
fore association witnesses appeared
20 comment on 31-page report they
had prepared analyzing the COM
olex omnibus bills.
The report, which questions many
provisions of the bills, was offered
by Gustav Lazarus. association pre-
sident. Richard Arens, staff direc-
tor for the Senate subcommittee,
said he wished to cross examine the
witness ON many of the statements
in the report
This led TO a general conference
between committee members with
the upshot that the joint committee
refused to accept the report for the
record until Arens could cross exa-
mine the witness.
After an informal poll of the COM
mittee, Rep. Louis E. Graham (R.,
Pa), presiding at Thursdays session,
scheduled another meeting of the
joint committee on April 9. follow
ing House recess for Easter, to
permit thorough study of the asso-
citation report.
Earlier, the joint committee heard
Read Lewis, executive director for
the Common Council for American
Unity
Lewis offered technical analy-
sis of the omnibus bills with the
hope they will prove helpful
to the maintenance of the humani-
tartan traditions which have made
America what she is today-the lea
der of the free world.
He said one of the dominant fac

said he was pleased to see the bills

step of doing away in part with ra'
cial discrimination"

very harmful.
Arens asked Lewis II he realized
how many persons of Asian ancestry
live in South America and could en-
ter this country with the same quo
ta-free status of other Latin Anne
ricans unless those of Asian ancestry
we're placed under some type of quo
ia
Lewis II realize perfectly well
how many there are. but this
bill is not only reflection on A
slams, but a reflection on South A
merican countries and divides their
peoples into two groups
Later, when Lewis said it would be
more realistic to revise quota per-
centages every ten years according
to census figures rather than basing
immigration percentages upon the
year 1920. Arens asked whether Lew
is realized that since 1920 dispro-
portionate number of immigrants
have come here from eastern and
southern Europe.
Lewis: What do you mean by
disproportionate'?. Was 1920
a year of perfection?"
He added that it was his hope
mot that we will freeze what we are,
but preserve the processes which
have made us great.
Simon H. Rifkind, former United
States district judge, testifying on
behalf OF several Jewish organiza-
lions, termed that provision good
which takes out racial conceptions
In immigration and naturalization
in line with the principles of huma-
nifty and brotherhood.
He, too, though, argued against
the special quota for Asians living
outside of the Asian nations
The JACL Anti-Discrimination
Committee also has urged that such
Asians be admitted to this country
under the general immigration re-
gulations governing other nations
of those countries, rather than be-
ing treated as a special category of
immigrants
Judge Rifkin urged the joint COM
mittee to recognize that through
| the great freshening stream of i'm
migration for more than 300 years
America has grown great and
strong, and not to assume that i'm
migration is a source Of weakness
J rather than strength.
