One Out Of Every Ten StoIinfs Slave?
By Arthur H. Koonce

A CHARGE that Stain holds 10 per
\ cent OF Russia'S population In
slavery has been made with supporting
accommodation by a labor organization
which has spearheaded drive for
United Nations investigation. Stalin's
double aim. the labor group says. Is
suppression Of all opposition and quick
expansion Of Russia industrially and
miiitarily.
The International Confederation Of
Free Trade Unions, with 70 million
members In so countries, has from its
inception in 1949 carried on the cam
paign begun two years earlier by the
American Federation Of Labor for
U. N. inquiry.
From its headquarters in Brussels, the
confederation has issued a 1O0-page
booklet detailing its accusation Of human
slavery. which 1t declares has spread
with lightning rapidity to every country
which has fallen to Russia.
The cover Of this volume, "Stalin,s
Slave Camps" bears O map of the
U. 8. s. r. pin-pointing In red ITS camps
which the AFL charges the Soviet gov
ernment Is operating. The AFL offers
$1,000 reward to any one who can
disprove its evidence.
Andrei Gromyko. Soviet deputy for
eign minister. obviously Is not interested
In this reward. During the japanese
peace treaty conference in San Francisco
last month he brushed aside such a map
which Representative Armstrong. Re-
publican. OF Missouri placed in his lap.
The confederation publication charges
tnat stain has enslaved many millions
OF men and women since 1884 and that
at any one time the total will run from
10 to 20 million persons These are
recruited from a population Of less than
zoo million. Thus almost one in every
10 is IN slave labor camp. OF adult
males the proportion would run as high
as Is to 20 per cent.
Last March the Economic and Social
Council Of the United Nations. meeting
IN Santiago, Chile. finally decided to set
up O commission to investigate. ONLY
Russia. Poland and Czechoslovakia voted
In opposition. Fifteen free nations are
represented on the investigating council.
1t Is expected hearings viii begin soon.
The confederation's booklet relates
that thousands Of slaves have escaped
because 1t is impossible to completely
isolate 10 million persons even behind
the iron curtain. Tests were made to
prove the reliability Of witnesses. Their
stories Of brutal arrest and separation
OF families systematic police terror and
tortures and mass transportation in
cattle cars to distant places tailed in
detail.
Other details were obtained from
Soviet Consular and Embassy officials,
military officers. purchasing agents and
even secret police operatives who were

Mr.. McGroth Sounds Off

The spectacle of United States Attorney
General describing statements by a Federal
Judge as "damnable and contemplate lies"
comes as something of a jolt. And the situation
certainly is not helped when it appears that
Mr. McGraths incorporate language was in
spired in part at least, by mistake of fact
on his part.
As matters stand, the Attorney General has
conveyed his apologies to Judge George II. Moore
in st. Louis. Mr. McGrath said originally that
to the best of his recollection he had never talked
by telephone with Judge Moore. After the damn
able-and- contemplate comment however,
q search of Justice Department files revealed
that there had been such a conversation. It
might be said that the Attorney General should
have checked before sounding off. But these
have been harasSing days for official Washing
ton With one scandal after another exploding
before their eyes, it is not surprising that nerves
should be frayed and tempers short. 1t is at
least possible to understand why the Attorney
General used such unbecoming language, and,
to his credit, he has not attempted to dodge
responsibility for it. That phase of the matter
presumably has been closed by the profered
apology and by Judge Moore's acceptance of it.
But the questions raised by the subject mat
ter of the conversation between Judge Moore
and the Attorney General remain unsettled and
wide open.
Judge Moore had impaneled grand jury
which investigated the activities of James P.
Finnegan, St. Louis collector of internal revenue,
and which subsequently indicted that resigned
official, Back in February or March the United
States District Attorney complained that he
could not get authority from the Department OF
Justice for the investigation. The district attor-
ney according TO Judge Moore, said the depart
ment wanted the names Of cases to be presented

Investigate Investigators?

Many taxpayers are wondering why
Maj. Barrett has not been relieved Of his
duties as superintendent Of police. In
light Of the recent revelations concerning
the use Of District-owned automobiles
to transport labor to the Barrett farm
in Frederick County, Md. This omis-
sion on the part Of Police Commissioner
Young is objectionable and shows that
his office needs investigation along with
an investigation of the Police Depart
ment.
