URGENT APPEAL:
GAN EDITORIAL)

Dayton has been asked to open it's great big heart
and give generously to the Red Cross appeal for special
funds to aid victims of the recent floods in Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Oklahoma. Dayton and Montgomery
County will seek to raise $4,000 Monday and Tuesday,
our share of the SIS, 10000 emergency fund which Red
Cross is raising throughout the nation. This appeal should
strike a familiar tone for those who remember the severe
Dayton flood of 1913. And it is expected that all of us
will dig deep into our pockets and give, and give enough
so that the individuals and families of the recent flood
area may have a chance to rebuild happy homes and con-
tinue to raise their families in an atmosphere of neighbour
illness demonstrated by their "neighbors" throughout the
United States. Don't wait; give today!

Jessup Calls Charges
Mixture OF 'FaIsehoods
And Distortions
MeCurthy's Accusations
Answered at Hearing in
42-Poee Statement
By L. Edqor Primo

Ambassador at Large Philip G.
Jessup today vigorously denied he
is pro- Communist-a charge made
by Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin-and branded the
Senator's alleged proof" a mix
ture of "barefaced falsehoods,
distortions and misrepresenta-
tions."
In a hearing before a Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee.
which is considering his nomina-
ton as delegate to the United
Nations. DR.. Jessup read a AZ
page statement designed to meet
each of Senator McCarthy's
accusations.
Senator Mccarthy in two days
of opposition testimony charged
that the Ambassador was affiliated
with these six Subversive groups:
National Emergency Conference
flor Democratic Rights, American
Russian Institute. Co-ordinating
Committee to Lift the Spanish
Embargo, China Aid Council,
American Law Students Associa-
| ton and the Institute of Pacific
Relations.
Denies Link to Four Groups.
DR.. Jessup's answer today was
that he had never been affiliated
with the first four groups men
toned: that the American Law
students Association. with which
he was affiliated, had never been
cited as a front. and that the
IPR, "in my judgment" had not
shown a Communist bias.
The IPR was cited by the Cali
fornia Committee on Un-American
Activities as subversive. but neither
the Attorney General nor the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities has made such a finding.
At the outset, the Ambassador
made this statement to the Sena-
tors:
"I will submit evidence that will
demonstrate to the committee that
I do not have, and have not had,
an unusual affinity for Communist
causes and that I have not been
a follower of the Communist
Party line.
st will introduce evidence that
the Communists have attacked me
with a violence equal to that dis
played by the Senator from Wis
consin and with far greater
Justification"
In connection with charges by
ISenator Mccarthy that he had
followed the Communist line in
his opposition to the sending OF
arms to Great Britain in 1889,
DR.. Jessup said:
"The fact is. Mr.. Chairman,
that prior to December z, 1941, I
was an active member of the
America First Committee. That
committee never deviated in
its uncompromising opposition to
any action by the United States
Government which did not adhere
Ito a strict hands-off policy,
whether it involved arms to
Britain, to France or to Timbuc-
too"

out that the Communist Party
