Of organizations which have been cited
by the Committee or the Attorney
General.
Mere mention of a person in the
Communist press is enough to put his
name in the files The listing would

comments about him appearing in the
Daily Peoples World, West Coast
Communist newspaper, were not con-
tanned in his file, whereas favorable
references were. A spokesman said the
Committee gets only one edition of some
80 Red publications and therefore may
have missed some references. He added
that If the man concerned could produce
additional references they would be made
part of his f1le)
These items also are recorded: Names
OF witnesses and persons named by
witnesses at Committee hearings or at
such pertinent court trials at that which
involved Alger Hiss.
If a person belonged to an organiza-
ton cited as subversive, resigned and
later denounced the group. his file card
would show it, Thus, Adolph A. Berle,
jr., former Assistant Secretary of State,
was at one time a member of the
National Lawyers Guild, which has been
cited by the Committee. He quit after
issuing blistering statement.
The House unit also will place in a
persons file any statement he may wish
to make in his own behalf and even
give him an official notwithstanding
or public-to make such statement This
assumes, of course, that the person in
question knows his name is in the files.
Edward G. Robinson, the screen star,
Josh White, Negro ballad singer, and
Hazel Scott pianist wife of Represen-
tative Adam Powell, Democrat, of New
York, made such statements at special
hearings
The Committees public files are be-
yond all doubt the most complete COL
lection OF material on subversive activ-
tiles in the country. Last year &C
credited representatives of Government
agencies made $500 visits to check on
more than half million persons. The
FBI and the Civil Service Commission
each have several investigators assigned
permanently to check the files.
Members of Congress made $500 re-
quests in 1850 for data on 5,167 indi-
viduals and 1877 organizations. One
request was turned down. A Congress-
man wanted to know what was in the
files on another Congressman.
The files continue to swell. Last year
$4,000 cards were added And with
several hundred thousands former men,
bers of Nazi parties outside Germany

cabinets will be needed in the months
ahead.

AGE and Income Restrictions

So Secretary Tobin sees a manpower

production this year as result Of full
scale mobilization and suggests that in

ton is wonderful, but it doesn't make
sense
In the first place. the Government

efficient you are) under the Government
If You are over IS. Why should industry
be expected to employ women over IS

Trucks and the Highway

The Shirley Highway was built with
the idea that it could be used for truck
traffic, so why all this fuss now to the
end that the trucks be kept off it?
The original thought was that the
Shirley Highway would ease the heavy
truck traffic going through the City Of
Alexandria. It was necessary step, con-

sidering how congested Alexandria has
become.
AS every one knows, the majority of
houses in the Alexandria areas are
built right up to the streets. When trucks
are passing, they shake everything in
ones home. They are a danger to prop
erty, life and limb.
A group of selfish people and interests
are now demanding that trucks be kept
of the Shirley highway. They have
obtained help from their influential
friends at the Pentagon. Let the trucks
take this logical route when it is COM
pleted.

turned to take the stand. From there,

had directed a full and Satisfac-
tory investigation of communism

In a speech at Baltimore, Sem
ator Butler delivered his first pub
lie reply to a Senate committee
which denounced the Republican
election tactics as a "despicable,
back street type" of campaign.
Senator Butler asserted that all
money contributed to his CAM
Ipaign was spent legitimately and
that he complied with all State
and Federal laws regulating po-
litical contests.
Campaign Chief Convicted.
Senator Buffers camp a g n
manager, Jon M. Jonkel of Chi

failing to report all campaign con-
tributionS as required by Mary

Senator Butler declared that
Mr.. Tydings was retired because
the voters of Maryland were
aroused to an understanding OF
his record.
"If Mr.. Millard Tydings had
conducted a full and satisfactory
investigation of communism in the
State Department, he would still
be the senior Senator from Mary
land today" Mr.. Butler said. "1r
that case, would be practicine

photograph purporting to show
Mr.. Tydings in intimate associa-
ton with Earl Browder, former
Communist leader.
Senator Butler said today that
he did not know the contents OF
the publication until he wa:
handed a printed copy, but that
he saw nothing wrong with it
He said the tabloid was con-

financial aspects of his campaign,
the Senator conceded he had in

was confident they were carefully
handled through the campaign

He also said he told William

Chances Diminished?

Members Of the Truman Cabinet,
such as the ineffahle Mr.. Maurice
Tobin and others. whose continuance
in office depend on Mr. Truman. con
tinue repetitiously to rave about how
much the American people love him
and how sure it is the near-septu-
agenarian ticket Of Truman and
Barley will triumph in 1852 How
ever, the fact is that the number of
those who do not believe Mr.. Tru-
man will run again has been consider
ably augmented by recent develop
ments.
Chief among these can be listed G)
the scandal Of the crooked internal
revenue collectors Coming on top of
the RFC and other scandalous expo
sures), which has given added sub
stance to the change of Administra-
tion corruption; (2) the recent APP
pointment of Gen. Mark Clark as
Ambassador from this country to the
Vatican, which has aroused a wide
spread protest from Protestant min
listers and strong resentment in Con-
gress. There are, Of course, other
reasons for the conviction that much
as Mr.. Truman enjoys promoting the
mystery as to his intentions, there
really is no mystery.
1t is worth noting that in the past
week three usually wcll-informed
Washington political writers have
gone on record as holding his view.
One of these is a Fair Dealer and 4
personal friend Of the President. Both
the others have revived the idea that
Mr.. Truman is now determined to
nominate his friend, Chief Justice
Vinson as his successor. Perhaps they
may turn out to be mistaken and Mr..
Truman find himself forced to make
the fight, but more feel the other way
now than before the Vatican incident.
1t seems to have changed the minds
of quite a few.
1t is easy to sustain the Presidents
argument that we, along with 40
other nations, should have full diplo-
matte representation at the Vatican.
1t also is easy to sustain the argu-
ment that this conflicts with the
separation of church-and-state policy

strongly supported by a great many
people, including some exceedingly
important Catholics. What is not
easy to reconcile with reason is the
timing and manner of Mr.. Humans
performance. There seems pretty
general agreement that in this he
made every possible mistake.
From the diplomatic, the political
and personal viewpoints he appears
to have alienated a considerable num-
Der Of persons; managed the situation
about as badly as possible. These
things appear inconsistent with an in
tended candidacy. If he is q candidate
it Just makes no sense. H. fact, the
way he did it makes very little sense,
no matter what he is. With slight
chance of accomplishing anything
useful, he quite needlessly raises a
deeply controversial issue about which
many will become excited and con-
fused. This creates embarrassment in
many directions and tends to obscure
really vital questions in the cam
paign.
In the second place, it seems estab-
lished that in reaching his decision
Mr.. Truman consulted with no one in
the Cabinet except Secretary of State
Dean Acheson. Secretary of Defense
Lovett knew nothing about it until
after the appointment had gone to
the Senate Saturday afternoon. There
was no consultation by the President
with Democratic leaders, or with emil
nent Catholic prelates or laymen or
with Secretary of the Army, who is
General Clark's immediate superior.
Exactly who had his confidence in
this business and who inspired him
to act with such suddenneess and
secrecy is uncertain. No one seems to
know.
1t is resented in the Senate because
the appointment was thrown into its
lap just before adjournment when
there was time neither to act nor de-

For IndgCiSi0n
In Near East

LONDON, (JTA)-The United
Nations indecision in settling Is
rael's boundaries and the future
of Jerusalem was severely critic
lied here by Lord Herbert Sam
uel, the first British High Com
missioner for Palestine, speaking
at a dinner which marked the
launching of the Joint Palestine
Appeal in England.
Gas a strong partisan of the
United Nations" he said, "I am
bound to say that their handling
of the problem of the Middle East
with so much hesitation and con-
tinuous delay does not do any
credit to the Organization. He
intends to visit Israel within a
few weeks as a member of a
British Parliamentary delegation.
Lauding the Government of Is
rael (which proved stable despite
attacks from both right and left, "
he called for the fullest support
of the governments efforts to
overcome the financial difficulties
caused by continued mass immi-
grafton.
ISraels Finance Minister Ellie
zer Kaplan, a speaker at the din
ner, told the audience that the
world situation make it impera-
tive to transfer to Israel immedi-
ately as many Jews as possible
from Moslem lands and Eastern
European countries. ''Not months,
but days, count" he warned. He
said that Israel itself has already
contributed 100000 pounds to-
wards the absorption of immi-
grants. Israel has spent $50 more
on immigration than it received
from all foreign funds contrib
uted.

WZO Wants
Partners Status

NEW YORK, (JTA) = The
World Zionist Organization will
seek moral and legal" status
as a partner of the government
of Israel in the task of building
the Jewish state, DR.. Goldman,
chairman of the American section
of the Jewish Agency said.
"The Zionist movement can
only be revitalized if Israel rec
ognizes it as representative of the
Jewish people in matters deal
ing with the Jewish state, and if
it is given moral and legal status
as a partner of Israel in upbuild-
ing the state. Such recognition
would not limit in any way the
sovereignty Of Israel. 1t would
be rather, status given volun-
tarily by the people and the gov
ernment of Israel. 1t would not
imply in any way the political al
legiance to Israel of Jews of other
nations" DR.. Goldman pointed
out.
