orleans nstinctly to their Red Cross-but peoples
memories faden days of peace, the organization has
tough time collecting its funds"
In adopting the slogan Mobilize for Mercy" for
its March 1851 fund campaign the Red Cross asks the
help of every American not only in supplying badly
needed funds for its expanded work for the armed
forces and civil defense but recruiting volunteers
to make this work possible.
In addition to continuing its regular work, the
American Red Cross has been asked to expand its
activities follows:
l. THE BLOOD PROGRAM. The Secretary of De-
tense last summer asked the American Red Cross to
be the official blood agency for the needs
of the Armed Forces The National Security Resources
Board also has requested that the Red Cross coordinate
a nationwide blood program for civil defense There
FORE including its regular peacetme program the Red
Cross will be responsible for procuring large quanCtes
of blood by the end of this fiscal year
2. FIRST AID The National Security Resources
Board has asked the Red to undertake the train
ing of as many as 20 million persons in first aid m
Guiding all civil defense workers This is short-time
ob and in accepting it, the Red Cross looks to the
public both to fill classes and to help instruct those
classes
g. NURSES AIDS AND HOME NURSING: In an
emerency hundreds of thousands of women will nave
to give nursing to their families and their neigh
bors More hundreds of thousands will be needed to
serve as aids in hospitals at blood centers ana
emergency shelters The Red Cross has accepted from
The NSRB the responsibility for recruiting and train
ing these women home nursing courses and as nurses
aids.
To do its regular job as well as an emergency
one the Red Cross will need millions of volunteers
as blood donors nonprofessional workers IN nos
pitfalls as drivers for Service and other work
ers in connection with all local chapter needs. The
Red Cross has a long history of trained volunteer
service
How much can you give to help make Red Cross
know-how count in 1851?

ling"
One step in McCarthys cam

tempt to shut off his news sour
ces. Ev demanding { probe OF the
Pearson Spies" in tie pentagon,
Mccarthy h2s tried tc intimidate
news sources.
However, the boss will keep on
digging out the plumbers that
bureaucrats classify as secret" and
the hidden facts that the public
should know The record will show
the loss puts security ahead of
the news, and withholds stories
upon the advice CT the pentagon.
Secretary of the army Pace
stated the boss did not violate
code security in publishing secret
cables that Mccarthy is bowling
about. In fact, the boss was warned
in advance that the only security
risk would be revealing the aocu-
ment number and date OF the Sc
cret message. Mccarthy couldn't re-
sist showing off his spy system to
Grove that he could get secret
cables too. So he unwisely revealed
both the document number and the
date on the Senate floor.
Thus, ironically, Mccarthy made
himself a target of his own inves-
tigation, and the Justice depart
ment is checking Mccarthy for
revealing the only dangerous part
of the document-the key to the
secret message.
Drew is not the first newspaper
man Mccarthy has tried to silence.
He used similar tactics against
others. including the conservative
Saturday Evening Post. Mccarthy
classified the Pest in the same
category with the Daily Worker
for publishing critical article
about him.
ut is disturbing to find that this
article is almost 100 per cent in
line with the official instructions

Secretary of the Communist Party"
Mccarthy wrote to the editors al

jonal Record, thus protecting him.
self from libel.
Mccarthy would have us believe
that anyone who criticizes him is
following the Communist line. We
do not accept that doctrine. Free
dom of speech means freedom to
differ, even with Mccarthy. Pub
lie discussion is a political duty
and criticism is essential to good
government.
We would he just as quick to de-
fend McCarthy's right to crluclze
Drew-if the Senator would stop
hiding behind his Senatorial i'm
munity just as the Chinese Com
munists hide behind the ManchT-
ian border.
Note-the boss exposed the Com
munist spy ring that stole secret
B-29 blueprints. and also warned
the State Department against Al
ger Hiss, long before Mccarthy
| discovered there was a gold mine
of publicity in being a professional
Communist.

Of speeches attacking the boss and
has mailed them under his frank,
at the taxpayers expense, to 1909
newspapers. These speeches again
urge a boycott of the Pearson col
umn and ask newspaper editors
to drop it. Furthermore, copies CT
these speeches have been put in
the hands of rival newspaper syn
dicate salesman for discreet use in
efforts to sell rival columns. This
again makes use of Senatorial i'm
munity in a manner never heard
of before in the entire history OF
the United States.
The boss cannot sue Mccarthy
for libel because Mccarthy has
Senatorial immunity and when has
answered Mccarthy in print some
newspapers = feel it is a personal
argument and blue-pencil it,,
though meanwhile giving Mccarthy
full play for his libelproof attacks.
Furthermore, the boss can't sue
any of his columnist competitors
who pick up McCarthy's diatribes
and republish them because re-
prints of Senate speeches are libel
proof, too.
Che funny thing is that, while
Mccarthy has been calling Drew
a Communist, the Daily Worker
in New York official spokesman
fer the Communist party-has been
hitting him just as hard. One

Immunity fer Peoples Protection
However, the boss has done some
studying of the resolutions intro
ducsd by Senator Hunt Of Wyo-
ming which propose changes in a
senator's right to libel private
Senate floor. Senator Hunt did
considerable research into this
question and history shows that
Senatorial immunity arose in the
early days OF the English Parlia-
ment in order to protect legisla-
tor from the King. Kings in those
days had a habit of chopping off
heads or falling members of Par
lament who got too critical and
immunity was devised as means
of protecting them from unfair
persecution. Members of Parlia-
merit and senator's therefore got
INN unity to help them in the job
of ,5.otecting the people, not for
.he purpose Of using immunity to
perseeute the people.
. s. the boss lawyers have de-
viaed 2 plan to protect him against
McCarthy's boycott and abuse-not
under the libel laws hut under the
fair trade practices act, which
prohibits f9ycotts. The Taft Hart
lev Act for which. incidentally,
Mccarthy voted, also prohibits
Eoycotts. In fact, the whole prin-
ciple OF a boycott is contrary to
the American system. This case
testing a senator's right to con-
duct a boycott, undoubtedly will GO
to the Supreme Court and Will
make history as far as Senatorial
immunity is concerned.
