The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON yright. 1851. py Bell Syndicate, In

WASHINGTON. = It's hard to write about a man who is dead and cannot defend himself However, l should like to write about Andrew Older, listed recently by an FBl undercover agent as a member o1 the Communist party.
 Older worked for me for a brief period after the war and it became my unpleasant duty to fire him. During the course of firing him, l got to know little bit about wha' makes Communist tick.
 If we are going to cure Commun- ism in the American body polite, then it's important that we know what turns a man into a Commun- ist and how he can be cured. Here is one case history in point.
 Older worked for group ot conservative trade journals-a paint and varnish magazine, a bakery journal, a poultry monthly, togeth- CT with the film and radio dailies and the Hollywood Reporter. During the tail end of the war when man. power was short he also worked

took the vessel during the war. Foss returned her to her original status as a pleasure craft several years ago.
 Aboard are the Foss' daughters, Miss Christina Foss and Mrs. Pa- tricia Peterson, and a friend, Miss Carolyn Schustrom. Mrs. Peterson's son Eric is also along.
 The party took off this afternoon for Skagway, to return in several days. MT. and Mrs. Charles Sabin of Juneau are on board for the short junket.
 Two of the five-man crew are well known here. They are Capt. Russell w. Gross and Chief Engin- ger Maurice "Whitey" Pixley. Gross, who once commanded the City Of Anacortes in local waters, was last here Is years ago. Pixley was aboard army vessels here during World War II.
 Thea Foss, mother of the vessels owner and his two brothers, H.O. and Wedell Foss, died before the war. She and her husband Andrew started the company with a row. boat in Tacoma, Wash. With her business acumen and his ability as a ships carpenter, they built the company to one of the largest tug boat fleets on the Pacific Coast.
 Author of the "Tugboat Annie series once worked aboard the Foss tugs and when he became writer used his former employer as his famous heroine.

Juneau's Glow, Hottest in r Years, Broken

The "glow" carried by Juneauites because of the heat the past 10 days nearly equals that of the hot spell in July, 1884.
 It was the hottest it's been for IT years, but as stretch of sunny weather, it's nothing so unusual.
 The highest recorded temperature in-town during the dry spell start ing July and ending this morn ing with a trace of rain was on July with the reading at 84 de- grees.
 The highest temperature recorded in 1884 was 35 degrees on July 23. The last long dry spell was from June to Is, 1850.

Judge Ryan Frees 15
 Communists

NEW YORK, July l3, LR - Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan today complied with a U. s. Ap- peals court ruling and ordered re- lease of Is Communist leaders un- der bail previously supplied by the Civil Rights Congress Bail Fund.
 Judge Ryan previously had re- voked the bail, totalling $l75,0oo, on the ground trustees of the bail fund were unworthy of trust"
 He had sentenced three of them to jail for contempt of court for refusing to reveal identities of con- tributors to the fund.
 The 15 Communists are charged with conspiring to teach and advo- cate violent overthrow of the Uni ted States government and are awaiting trial.
 Ryan jailed them Wednesday with instructions to obtain bail from another source.
 U.S. Appeals Court Judge Learn ed Hand yesterday ordered the bail from the Civil Rights Congress re- instated.
 Hand held the full, three-member appeals court previously had ruled bail from the Congress as accept able.
 The Congress is listed by the De- partment of Justice as subversive.
 Ryan's decision today was made in the presence of the 15 defend- ants, who had been kept in Jail be- cause of legal technicalities since Judge Hands ruling.

Commander Down } Demands
 Get Armed Guards
 Out, Allow Free
 Moves

SEOUL, Korea, July 13 --tR-The Allied command told the Reds to- day: Korean war cease-fire talks will be resumed only when LIN dele gates have unrestricted movement in an area free of armed guards.
 Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway sent that virtual ultimatum to top Com munist commanders after the Reds rejected an Allied demand that news correspondents be accepted as part of LIN personnel in the conference area.
 The supreme commander de- manded that.
 1. The Reds get their armed guards out of Kaesong = original site of armistice talks = or agree to meet somewhere else.
 2. End unreasonable ard un- necessary restrictions" on his nego- tiators and let them move freely.
 3. Accept anyone he names as part of the LIN delegation.
 Ridgway's message was broadcast just two hours and 20 minutes after the Reds rejected the third point, originally made yesterday by Adm. c. Turner Joy. chief LIN negotiator.
 The rejection came. from North Korean Gen. Nam Il. chief Red cease-fire delegate, in reply to Joy.
 Nam suggested the delegates meet at 1 pm. Friday t8 pm. Thursday, PDT) for further discussions.
 Must Agree
 The LIN answer came at l:15 pm. in Ridgeway's expanded demands.
 Joy said Thursday that negotia- tions would be resumed as soon as the Communists agreed to pass any LIN personnel designated by the AL lied command, including newspaper men.
 Nam replied: "Neither sides news reporters or news representatives can come into the area [. until both sides have agreed.
 This reply was delivered to LIN iiaison officer at 1o:55 am. but the Allied command did not announce It until 12 hours later-after Nams message had been broadcast by both the Red Peiping and Pyongyang radios. The delay was not explained.
 General Ridgway's headquarters in Tokyo said.
 No Settlement"
 This reply offered no settlement of the issues contained in General Ridgways massage to Generals Kim Il Sung and Peng Teh-Huai. which vas then in preparation and later broadcast at 1915 hours u'l5 p.mo today. ~
 No reply to General Ridgways message has been received
 Kim is the North Korean pre- mier. Peng is the commander ol Chinese troops in Korea.
 By going directly to them, General Ridgway took the issues out of the hands of the cease-fire delegates.

Rail Unions Win
Strike Averfed

London (LPA)-With more thar
5000 rail workers on strike, 20,O0C
others engaged in showdown, ano
with 475,000 others ready to stage
a nationwide strike, the British
labor government gave in on Feb
%. 1t granted an increase of $685.
100000, the full amount asked by
the three rail unions.
A breakdown in negotiations was
averted Feb. %, by Aneurin Bevan,
facing his first crisis as Minister
Of Labor. 1t took him 13 hours of
hard talk, but he managed to get
the uinon leaders to agree to meet
again with the National Railway
Executive the next day.
Recently a court of inquiry re-
commeaded an increase, which the
unions rejected. The Executive
upped the offer twice, but the
unions held out for the full amount
they sought. 1t was at that point,
as strikes and slowdOwns began,
that Bevan stepped in. The rail
roads, government-oWned, are los
ing money and are being subsidized
by the national treasury.

BiddIe Calls Fear
Latest Challenge
To US Liberalism

Cleveland (LPA) - The newest
challenge to American liberalism
is fear, Francis Biddle declared in
his keynote address to 700 dele
gates at the fourth annual conven-
tion of Americans for Democratic
Action. Biddle, former US Attor-
ney General, is national chairman
Of ADA.
Fear will confront us for some
time to come, as long as calculat-
ing men find political advantage
in it," he declared.
Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, dean of
the faculty at Union Theological
Seminary, ADA vice-chairman and
one Of the founders of ADA, de-
clared that the liberal movement
has become "the captive of a re-
dictionary opposition. Everyone is
expected to prove his anti-Com-
munism, not by a. wise strategy cal
eulated to defeat Communism, but
by apoplectic rigidity," He added
that the Truman administration is
partly the captive of the reaction
ary opposition.

it was illegal for Senatorial can.
didate to spend more than $2500 OF
his own money.
(6) Perhaps one of the great
est indirect financial contributions
to Buffers campaign" was series
of political" broadcasts by Lewis
Tydings declared. He pointed out
that some of the broadcasts were
on unsponsored time and suggested
that the Mutual Broadcasting Corp
(and the Washington Times-Her-
ald) violated the law barring corp
orations from spending money or
political campaigns. He said the
Chicago Tribune owned 10 percent
of Mutual.
CD Tydings said the criminal
libel law of the District of Colum-
bia may have been violated. In this
connection, he pointed out that the
four-page tabloid was printed in
the District, under the auspices OF
Frank Smith of the Times-HeralC
repeatedly with the knowledge OF
Mrs. Ruth Mccormick Miller. He
noted that Smith later became But
ler's executive assistant at $10,-
600 a year.
Tydings urged the subcommittee
to initiate criminal libel action if
the facts supported such a move
Such action would be against the
Times Herald and Lewis, whose
broadcasts originated in the Dis
trict.
Before Tydings could testify
Butler appeared on a point of spec
ial privilege. He denied the charges
in advance and demanded a bill of
particulars. He said that if the sub
committees previous investigation
produced evidence warranting his
disqualification, 81 should be given
notice of the charges, a list of wit
nesses, an opportunity to prepare
for my defense and the usual rights
accorded in a judicial hearing" In
addition, he questioned the groups
right to hear Tydings at all.
After a three-hour recess de-
clared by Monroney, the subcom-
mittee announced it had decided
unanimously the day before to yield
to all of Buffers demands, except
the right to cross-examine wit
nesses through private counsel.
However, the subcommittee was
also unanimous in it's decision to
hear Tydings' charges because of
its desire to learn whether there
was a basis for contesting the
Maryland elections. Two Republi-
cans, Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine and Robert C. Hendrickson
of New Jersey, participated in the
voting.
Tydings incurred the wrath of
Sen. Mccarthy, Fulton Lewis, Jr.,
and the Hearst and Mccormick
press last year when he headed the
subcommittee which found McCar-
thy's charges of communism in the
State Department baseless. Later,
Margaret Chase Smith authored a
of Conscience denounc-
ing McCarthy's campaign. Hend-
rickson was one of the declarations
signers.

Labor Editors Hit
Freeze-Out In
Defense Program

Washington UPA)-The Tru
man Administration was assaileC
by the Eastern Labor Press Con,
ference for unfairness to labor il
defense mobilization and in filling
diplomatic service jobs.
The executive board of the
group, speaking for hundreds OF
labor papers, meeting Feb. 10 de-
clared it shocking" that labor has
not been given a voice equal to
management's in the defense pro-
gram or in appointments at home
and abroad, and that personnel
drawn from management have been
given monopoly of all these posi-
tions of leadership"
The result, said the board is
Illustration and resentment, chased
upon the evidence that the Admin
istration has permitted itself to be
taken into camp by big business.
"The unfair treatment of labor
here at home is being advertised
around the globe. Thus, our coun-
try is placing milestone about its
neck, insofar as winning the hearts
and minds of the ordinary citizens
of the rest of the world is concern
ed.
"Unl less the Administration
moves quickly to repair the situa-
ton, the morale of American labor
will suffer, national unity will be
injured and the interests of no one
will be served except those of our
detested enemies, the brutal, vic
ious Communist leaders"

ment for women take on a special
urgency at the present time, it was
emphasized, because women now
form 20 percent Of the nations
total employed persons and are the
chief reserves for the defense ef-
fort. Obviously, she said, new work
ers must come principally from the
group Of women not now in the
labor force.
Continuing, Miss Miller said:
World War II directed special at
tention to the practical benefits
that are derived from good labor
standards and to the sound basis
on which such laws rest. During its
first half century Of growth, labor
Legislation for women generally
was considered to be an altruistic
effort to improve the lot Of one
group of workers. Today, such
standards receive another emphasis
they are recognized as plain good
business. World War II was a prov
ing ground in this respect, for en-
ployers then realized that the best
results were obtained by employ
ing women for moderate hours and
under desirable conditions. They
learned the relationship between
long hours and substandard work
ing conditions, on the one hand,
and fatigue and unsatisfactory per-
formance, on the other. That ex-
perience constitutes real evidence
that moderate hours and desirable
standards help rather than hinder
production"

TYdings Claims Fraud In
Campaign. Cites Mccarthy

washington (LPA) - One 1857
election campaign that's going tc
\ have a thorough airing is the Mary.
Hand Senatorial race in which Mil.
lard Tydings, Democrat and four.
term veteran, was defeated by Johr
Marshall Butler, a Republican un-
known.
Appearing before Senate Elec-
tions Subcommittee headed by Sen
Mike Monroney Cd, Okla.) Feb. 21
Tydings charged that Butler anC
his aides published "unadorneo
lies" and used "fraud, deceit and
subterfuge" in the campaigns
closing days to influence voters
Tydings emphasized he was testi-
flying as private citizen without
desire for political office.
Tydings' charges involved Sen
Joe Mccarthy Or, Wis.,, radio
commentator Fulton Lewis, Jr., and
the Hearst and Mccormick news
paper chains among others. He
made the charges under seven main
headings.
O A four-page tabloid "news-
paper" called "From the Record
was an Outrageous conglomeration
of lies" Some 100000 copies were
printed by the Washington Times
Herald a Mccormick paper pub
lished by niece of Col. Robert r.
Mccormick, owner of the Chicago
Tribune. The paper contained a
composite photograph of Tydings
and Earl Browder, former leader of
American Communists. The picture
was labeled composite" but Tyd-
ings contended that relatively few
Feaders knew the meaning of the
word. The Times-Herald put out
the tabloid for half it's cost, with
Buffers full knowledge, he said.
In the trick photo" Tydings and
Browder seemed to be chatting.
(2) The Butler campaign com
mittee used the "big lie" technique
in an advertisement printed in the
Baltimore Sunday American, a
Hearst paper, on Nov. 5.
(3) A Chicago Negro. Roscoe
Simmons was repeatedly credited
by Col. Mccormick and Mrs. Ruth
Mccormick Miller, publisher of the
Times-Herald, with a major part in
Buffers victory. Tydings said Sim
mons distributed pamphlets paid
for by the headquarters. He charg-
ed that alleged sponsors of the
pamphlets never authorized use of
their names. presumably Simmons
concentrated on Negro groups.)
(4) Butler headquarters was
guilty of financial irregularities"
amounting to "many thousands of
dollars"
60 William Fedder, a Baltimore
printer, was taken for a ride one
night by an employe of Sen. Nc
Carthy and another man in an at
tempt to obtain a letter in which
Butler personally guaranteed to
pay $4,000 bill for the printing
of campaign material. Tydings said
