HESE DAY S
IN THE WEB

GEORGE X. SUKC1SKY

ANOTHER TANGLE IN THE WEB
1t would seem that no more is
the question of loyalty raised than
up comes a tangled web of intrigue
to keep things quiet and off the
record. The Tydings Committee was
used for that purpose in spite OF
the fact that Senator Tydings and
his counsel. Edward Morgan, had
all the facts of the Amerssia case.
happen to be a lover OF the
Navy, and, as such, want to pro-
test against the utilization of the
fire name and great character q
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz as a
cover-up for disloyalty. 1t must be
obvious from what will follow that
the Presidents Commission on IN
ternal security and individual rights
is doing Just that. And l shall
quote from Admiral Nimitz estao-
fishing the fact.
am quoting from a report IN
the New York Herald Iibune py
one of its Washington coerespond-
ents. Robert j. Donovan. It seems
that the Herald Tribune Washing
ton Bureau telephoned to Admiral
Nimitz, who was in California, to
inquire about this new commission
which was organized to run inter-
ference with the McCarran Com
mittee OF Congress.
Now, it appears from what ADJ
miral Nimitz said that Donald s.
Dawson, assistant to the President,
is really in charge of this COM
mission, hiring the staff, including
I assume. the counsel There arc
rumors afoot that it is intended to
employ as counsel, Edward Morgan,
who served the Tydings Committee,
which did such an outrageous white
washing job that Senator Tydings
was defeated in his campaign for
reelection last November on that
issue alone. Edward Morgan was
also related to the whitewash OF
those realls responsible iUr Pearl
Harbor
Donald S. Dawson is in 3 lot Of
trouble, having been named as one
of the operators in the use OF
undue influence in relation to the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
which Senator Fulbright is inyesti-
gating.l while he is in the .Presi4
dents office, his wife, Ava Dawson,
is acting as in charge Of the general
files of the RFC. The Fulbright
Committee deals with this develop
ment in the RFC since Jesse Jones
was forced. out of there after Pping
magnificent service for his country
It is to be recalled that Jesse
Jones advocated the abolition OF the
RFC.
About Sen1tor Fulbright's in
yestigatita mich viii be said, but
it is to lie expected that a govern
ment employee is loyal not to Harry
Truman or to the Democratic Party
but to the United States Of America.
When the name of Admiral Nimitz
was used to give this commission
good front its was suspected in
many quarters that the President
feared the consequences of a first
rate investigation by Senator Nc
Carran
But nobody assumed that the or
ganizing of the commission was
being done in the White House and
ty Donald S. Dawson, who is HIM
self under investigation by the Pull
bright Committee.
Admiral Nimitz was apparently
informed over the telephone OF the
various suspicious concerning his
commission. OF this, he said:
THAT is outside my field. I as
sumo that something like this en-
deavor is necessary because it was
ordered. If I am given a job 30
do, I go ahead and do it,
That might be all right for a
shavetail it is not a correct posi-
ton for a man of Admiral Ninlitz's
stature Millions of Americans be-
lieve in him, as they believe in
General Ike Eisenhower. They trust
these men because they have sacri-
feed themselves and risked much
for their country. 1t is assumed that
they are, BY nature and vocation,
non-rclitieai and that they have no
pcreonal ambitions other than to
serve their country
The, efore. when such a man is
used to front for a job that is
actually being done by Donald S.
Dawson, who is being accused by
Senator Fulbright'S Committee of
bringing politics and favor into the
RFC, it is not in the public interest.
