OF the senate, where he was
immune from libel charges.
The Farmers Union then charged
that McManus had prepared the
speech and that it. was pure politics.
Called to the witness stand during
the Utah libel suit trial in the jury's
absence, McManus testified under
oath that he had outlined the speech,
''documented" it and then "I-I mean
we wrote the final draft"
BOASTS OF SMEARS
The witness was almost boastful
about his part in efforts to smear the
Farmers Union. He told of writing
an article Communist Beachhead In
Agriculture" for the Farm Journal,
published by Joe Pew of Sun Oil and
Shipbuilding wealth Several thous-
and dollars of which found it's way
in to Montana Republican Golfers in
the 1916 campaign-PV Editor), and
another for Alfred Kolelberg's
Freeman magazine He showed some
resentment because Louis Bromfield

in another Freeman article.
McManus said he was writing a
book on Communist infiltration in
agriculture when an unnamed
friend at his home in Hopewell,
NJ, suggested that he write a
speech for a US. Senator to deli9-
err against Farmers Union. 1t was
at this point that McManus told the
court that frankly" politics was
involved in the matter.
McManus and the unnamed friend
went to Washington, DC, and sold
their idea to Senator Bridges who
just happens to have been a former
county agent, former secretary of
the New Hampshire Farm Bureau and
currently is listed as director of a
New Hampshire Farm Bureau NUT
ual insurance company.
McManus denied that he had work
ed for the American Farm Bureau
Federation until his employment in
February to prepare for the trial of
the Utah libel suit.
BIG FIGURE AT TRIAL
The writer was a major figure in
the trial.
Under the rules of courts, witness
ses may be excluded from the court
room during the trial of case. When
the Farmers Union called for appli-
cation of the rule, the Farm Bureaus
lawyers asked that McManus be made
an exception. They explained that
he had charge of files of their ma
terials and was needed by counsel
to aid them.
Federal Judge Willis Ritter ruled,
however, that McManus must either
leave the room or he could not be |
used as a witness. He left the room.
A little later, however, the Farm
Bureau attorneys again requested |
that McManus be permitted to come |
to the counsel table. This time, it !
was stipulated that McManus might
stay in the courtroom and be used as
g witness for the identification of
documents only.
From that point on, the writer
sat with the Farm Bureaus coun-
sci and was repeatedly consulted
by the lawyers.
McManus went to the witness
stand during a debate over the admis-
sibility of the Bridges speech into
evidence to mitigate damages" but
not to prove truth. Farmers Union
had objected to the admission of the
Bridges speech because it was hear

opening of the service known as
"Ha Lachma" in which all who
are hungry are asked to come and
partake of the feast. The selection
is in the true spirit of Judaism
which t e a c h that the hungry
shall be fed. The passage is writ
ten not in Hebrew, but in Aram-
aic, the mass language of the
Jews in the centuries Immediately
preceding and following the be-
ginning of the Christian era.
The language, which in its day
had the same popularity as Yid-
dish in the Modern era. had its
source in Babylonia where ma
teria1ly and spiritually prosperous
Jewish community developed
during those centuries. A strong
contention is that the ''Ha Lach-
ma" was written in the sixth CEN
tury before the common era, dur
ing the days of the Captivity, fol-
lowing the destruction Of the first
Temple and the exile of the Jews
from their homeland by the
Babylonians.

"On all other nights we eat our

query is now replaced with the
one about leaning.
AS already indicated, the basic
ideas found in the modern Seder
have been continuously observed
by Jews since the days Of the in

Mason Leaving Job With No Grudges

as Commissioner. Mr.. Mason did
not resign. He stuck to his guns,
fighting to keep the city's public
health institutions in operating
condition. despite the wartime
shortage Of qualified doctors.
The recommended custer got
nowhere. but for months, Con-
gress turned an equally cold
shoulder on Mr.. Mason's recon-
mendations for strengthening the
Gallinger staff.
Mr.. MaSon's health broke un-
der the strain, however. He suf-
fered a mild stroke in June, 1914.
But that summer he was reap
pointed for a three-year term, and
he was confirmed by. the Senate
after a bitter debate. One Sena-
tor observed that if anybody had
neglected Gallinger Hospital. it
was not Mr.. Mason, but Congress
Came Here in 1904.
Besides his troubles over Gal
linger, Mr.. Mason encountered
differences with some devotees of
public welfare who considered his
attitude reactionary. He did, gen.
orally. look with suspicion at pro-
posals to increase the sphere of
government and reduce the field
of individual responsibility.
Mr.. Mason was born in Pier
ston, Ind. He came to Washing
ton in 1904 after his military serv-
ice. Here, he tried out for the
Washington Nationals at shortstop
and second base. But "it was too
fast company for me-" he said.
Later he went into newspaper
work, and, studying after hours
at National University, took a law
degree. He stopped practicing law
to go to the. District Building.

ator Kefauver, Democrat, of Ten
nessee had appealed to the White
House for the appointment of
Gerhard P. Van Arkel, counsel
to the District Committee and
former general counsel to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board.
They were naturally disappointed
over the failure of the candidacy
of their man, but both have indi-
Gated they had no reason to OBJ

Donohue.
Kefauver Predicts Confirmation.
In fact, Senator Kefauver last
night predicted that the nom

yer, now enforcement chief for
the Office of Price Sterilization,
will be confirmed.
One of the most solid state
ments of approval of the Donohue
nomination came from the man
he will replace-Commissioner
Mason. He said he considered the
selection "a wonderful appoint
ment."
Mr.. Mason added that he had
known Mr.. Donohue for a long
time and considered him a good
choice.
The appointment aroused con-
siderable interest among District
organizations, although there was
not the customary flood of COM
ments that normally follows any
major change in the management
OF the city government.
Gratified by Statement.
Mrs. Donald c. Beatty, presi-
dent of the District League of
Women Voters, said:
Wnlle we nad not anticipated
this appointment, we were very
gratified by Mr.. Donohue's forth

Mr.. Donohue, asked by report
ers as to his stand on the home
rule question, had said this was
best stated in the words of Presi-
dent Truman in his civil-rights
message to Congress several years
