their names have been kept
confidential.
The McCarran Internal Sc
curity Committee of the Senate
has gone deeply into the rela-
tions of the "Amerasia" clique
with the Institute of Pacific Re-
lationS and the Government.
More will doubtless be brought
out in subsequent hearings. But
it is important now for a dis
tinction to be made between the
facts on which the Loyalty Re-
view Board based its findings
and the oft-repeated charge
that not one of the persons in
volved is a Communist, either
card-carrying OF otherwise as
if that were the sole criterion.
What is involved in many of
these diSloyalty cases is contact
with, association with, intimacy
with persons who have been
mentioned in congressional
testimony as part of a Soviet
espionage ring by witnesses who
are ex-CommuniStS. Mr.. Service
admits he asked a friend after
his first meeting on April 20.
1945. if Philip Jaffe was Com
munist. He was told by a Naval
Intelligence officer that Mr..
Jaffe was extremely sympa-
thetic to the Communists. Yet,
though Mr.. Jaffe was a man
that Mr.. Service professed not
to know intimately, he went to
his hotel room and met with him
several times thereafter and
loaned him his own confidential
reports that reflected on Chang
Kai-shek's regime and spoke ia
vorably of the Reds in China.
The FBI raided the "Amerasia" /"
offices and found many State
Department documents that
had been obtained from him
and from persons other than
Mr.. Service. Some were highly
secret.
This can't be excused on the
ground that State Department
officers were in the habit of
'briefing" the press. Brooks At
kinson, reputable correspondent
of the New York Times, testified
that he couldn't get information
from Mr.. Service. The clandes-
tine meetings in which Mr..
Service and Mr.. Jaffe partici-
pated and the nature of the con-
versations recorded by the FBI
and the evidence all point clearly
to the fact that, at best, Mr..
Service may have been duped, or
may have been carried away by
his partisanship for the Chinese

There Is much talk about the
effect of the tax and influence
scandals on the 1852 presiden-
tial election.
Republicans are counting
heavily on them. some even 60
ing SO far as to claim that they,
alone, will be enough to drive
Democrats from Office.
On the other hand. such DEM
ocratic leaders as President
Truman, himself; National
Chairman Frank E., Mckinney
and Senator Clinton P. Ander-
son, chairman of the Senatorial
Campaign Committee, are say
ing blithely that all win be
cleaned up soon and will be for
gotten by election time. That,
of course, must be taken with
several grains of political salt.
What else can Democrats say?
They don't feel that way pri-
vately. @
The truth perhaps lies some
where in between the strictly
partisan ratings. It is the opin-
ion of most experienced politi-
cal observers that the scandals
will have considerable impact
on the elections, which are less
than a year hence-and Repub-
licans will continue meanwhile
to dig eagerly. They may not.
however, be enough to win an
election for the Republicans.
There are other factors which
necessarily must be considered
in any realistic analysis.

In their message the Directors

ahead.
The new president of The Mother
Church for the coming year, it was

Rathvon said that never was the
need more urgent to look beyond
the material sense of life, to ''see

lis made with three coats of shell
lac, rubbed down between coats
with steel wool. The frame OF
the table and the legs are stained
to simulate mahogany or any
other wood desired.
Most Of the success of such q
job rests upon the care with which
the wood is cut and with the
amount of sanding done to in
sure tight joints and meticulous
workmanship. Nails should be
Icountersunk and the holes filled
with plastic wood before the stain
ing.
There are several ways OF
finishing the edge Of the top. The
easy way is to set a half or quarter
round molding all around. Another
method is to set a beveled molding
which will present a rim, and a
third method is to carry the STAIN
ing and scoring down over the
edge.
The decorating of the table
opens a hundred opportunities to
do the unusual. The frame and
legs may be enameled in black or
Chinese red with a painted or
papered top covered with a sheet
of glass. Some Of the Chinese wall
paper patterns, glued to the top,

vide a striking effect.
