A Stevenson Shot That Missed
Governor Still Is Apparently Uninormed Loyalty Issue
And Pursues ADAs Attoek Such AGENCIES as the FBI

the criminals. In all this ef-
fort, we have had the faithful
and resourceful work and ma
tional protection Of the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation. I do
not believe that any agency Of
government is infallible and I
think that Of all agencies a
bureau Of detection should get
the most strict and unrelenting
public scrutiny.
"But as far as I can see, the
FBI is doing an excellent in
vestigation job. To tell you
or to imply-as some do for po-
itical reaSonS-that the gov
elnment is crawling with Com
munists today Is to say that
the FBI does not know its busi-
ness"
Now. what are the facts?
First, the FBI hasn't any
right to order Communists out
Of government It only collects
evidence and II. as the State
Department has done time and
again. the evidence Is ignored,
nothing can be done about it
except to raise q fuss In public
as Senator Mccarthy courage
ously did. The FBI and the
State Department for several
years knew about Alger Hiss
because Whitaker Chambers
told them about him. But it was
not until Senator Nixon, then q
member of the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities.
broke the case wide open in
1948 that the Department Of
Justice began to prosecute.
Second, the issue in most in
stances. does not involve the
violation of any laws. Persons
who are disloyal or are bad Sc
curity risks cannot readily be
prosecuted under the existing
laws. especially II they don't
confess their offense or II tho
date Of the offense Is such that
time for prosecution-the stat
ute Of limitations-has expired.
They can only be fired from
their Government jobs and that
is what the loyalty program is
for.
Third. the idea Of subjecting
the FBI or any other investiga-
ton agency to public scrutiny
as Gov. Stevenson advocates, is
one that enemies Of the FBI
have been trying for several
years to foster and It will be
q sad day for America If. should
Gov. Stevenson be elected, he
falls for the idea of undermin-
ing the FBI by the public scru-
tiny" device.
Fourth, the Americans for
Democratic Action. some Of
whose members sic at Gov.
Stevenson's right hand and
presumably help him with
these speeches. have carried on
q campaign of attacking both
the FBI and the present loyalty
program. The work Of the FBI
has been frustrated by admin
istration officials largely be-
cause Of ADA type of influence.
Fifth, the Governor gives the
impression that the Democratic
administration. before Senator
McCarthy's exposures. did Of its
own initiative and sponta-
neously develop the present 10y
atty program In 1947. This
simply isn't true. It was due
to several years Of investiga-
ton and hearings by the House
Committee on Un-American Ae-
tivities and the congression-
al Appropriations committees
which repeatedly pointed the
finger Of suspicion at the
handling Of Communists in the
Government and the job is still
not being done efficiently.

zation to disseminate propa-
ganda.
Security objections to these
and other even more dangerous
developments were rebuffed by
high administrative officials;
and there followed the substi-
tuition of unqualified men for
these competent, highly respect
ed personnel who heretofore
held the intelligence and secur-
ity assignments in the depart
ment. The new chief of controls
is man utterly devoid Of back
ground and experience for the
job. who is. and at the time Of
his appointment was known to
those who appointed him to be,
a cousin and close associate of
q suspected Soviet espionage
agent.
'The next development was the
refusal of the FBI, Ga (Army
military intelligence). ONI (Of-
fee Of Naval Intelligence). and
other Federal investigative
agencies to continue the whole
hearted cooperation they had
for years extended to the State
Department.
ION the file In the DEPART
ment Is q copy Of q prelimi-
nary report of the FBI on So
Wet espionage in the United
States, which involves q large
number Of State Department
employees, some In high official
positions. This report has been
challenged and ignored by
those charged with the respon-
sibility Of administering the
department with the apparent
tacit approval Of Mr.. Acheson.
Should the case break before
the State Department acts, it
will be a national disgrace.
"Voluminous files are on hand
In the department proving the
connection Of the State De-
partment employees and officials
with this Soviet espionage ring.
Despite this, only two persons.
one Of whom is Marzani, were
released under the McCarran
rider because Of their subversive
activity :"
The letter went on to list
some of the names which,
however. were deleted from the
published version but the Sen
ate Subcommittee said these
were "only a few Of the hun
dreds now employed in vary
ing capacities who are pro-
tected and allowed to remain
despite the fact that their pres
ence is an obvious hazard to
national security"
Yet the State Department
still boasts 1t never found q
single Communist In the de-
partment and. though all other
departments have fired an
average Of about 6 per cent
OF their employees on grounds
related to Communist activity
or connections, the State De-
partment says it has none.
Small wonder that there are
McCarthys in the land! For it
was Senator Mccarthy who
pointed to these facts as late
as 1850 when the Presidents
loyalty program. so far as the
State Department is concerned.
was still not ferreting out all
the guilty. Indeed the Presi-
dents loyalty review board so
charged as late as February.
1851.
Gov. Stevenson isn't being
given all the facts on the anti
Communist issue. In his New
Mexico speech he went on to
say:
Where the law has been
violated. the Justice Depart
ment has indicted and convicted

Dovid Lawrence:

Gov. Stevenson at Albuquer-
que, N. NJ, vigorously denounced
external and internal commu-
nism and in that respect his
speech was q welcome empha-
sis on some of the things he
CLOSED over in his American
Legion speech In New York.
But the Democratic nominee
still reveals an astonishing un-
familiarity with the issue Of
communism and anti-commu-
nism in America and Of some
of the basic factors which gave
Senator Mccarthy his sweeping
victory in the Wisconsin pri-
mary. The governor swallows,
perhaps unwittingly. the line Of
attack which the Americans for
Democratic action has been fol-
lowing.
It's one thing to denounce
communism. as Gov. Stevenson
now does and as President Tru-
man did, but it's another thing
to do something about it spon-
taneously and without the
needing and prodding Of a Nc
Carthy or q McCarran or o Dies
or q Ferguson, all Of whom
through congressional commit
tees have uncovered laxity and
carelesSness in the handling of
Communists by our government.
Gov. Stevenson IN his New
Mexico speech says in part:
I'VE have frightened up our
espionage and security legisla-
ton. We have instituted a Fed
eral loyalty system-and we did
so, I should add. In 1947-thrce
years before the Senator from
Wisconsin made his shrill dis
covery Of the Communist men

It was on November IA, 1947.
that President Truman an
nounced the present loyalty pro-
gram. But it was much ear
lier the same year-and after
considerable crusading by the
Republicans In the congress
sional campaign in the autumn
of 1946-that attention was
being repeatedly called to negli-
gence In the handling Of Com
munists by the Federal Gov
eminent.
Here is q letter, confidential
at the time, which describes
what was happening in 1916
and 1947. It was written under
date Of June 10. 1947. to Sec
retary Of State Marshall, by the
Senate Subcommittee on APP
preparations and reads as fol-
lows:
"It becomes necessary due to
the gravity of the situation to
call your attention to o condi-
ton that developed and still
flourishes in the State Depart
ment under the Administration
of Dean Acheson (Undersecre-
tary of State at the time).
"It is evident that there is q
deliberate, calculated program
being carried out not only to
protect Communist personnel
in high places, but to reduce
security and intelligence pro-
lection to q nullity.
Regarding the much-publi-
cized Marzani case. the evidence
brought out at his trial was well
known to State Department off,
GERS who ignored 1t and refused
to act for q full year.
"Marzani and several other de-
partment officials. with full
knowledge Of the State Depart
ment and with Government

TWO CITY C0UNCILMEN RESIGN WHEELER
 EASTAUGH APPOINTED

Due to being absent from the city during the summer, City Coun- cilman Harry Coulter and Charles Early rendered their resignations at Tuesday nights Council meeting and former Mayor and Councilman E. J. Wheeler and William East augh were named to fill out their terms.
 In accepting the resignations, the Council expressed appreciation for the services the two men had given the city. Both victims of the recent fire disaster, the Council appointed in their stead two men almost re- presentatiye of the fire area. The uneXpired terms are until the Oct ober election when the positions are filled by popular vote.
 Reject Housing
 On grounds of too great cost, the Council turned down the proposal of housing units for the community under the Presidents disaster re- lief program, proposing to use the money in some other way. It was brought out that the town did not have the funds to provide sewers lighting and other services requir- ed in setting up housing unit
 Melvin Frazer and D. B. Wiley, of the Housing and Home Finance agency in Seattle, through which the Presidents $49,OOO emergency fund is forthcoming, met with the Council and explained the purposes for which the money can be u5ad. Under the allotment, $20,00G is ear-marked for a city warehouse to replace the old Columbia Northern building which was destroyed in the fire; $15,OOO for equipment lost and $14 900 for emergency housing. The housing men express ed the belief that the $14.0O0 could be diverted to some other purpose for the town in view of the city's financial inability to go ahead with the housing plan at this time.
 The Council took action to ac- quire a steel pre-fab structure for a warehouse, ordering a building from the Fentron Steel Co.,, of Bal lard. It purchased the Barnes lot next to Grants Grocery for $1,000 on which to erect the building. Cost of the building is approxim- ately $12,00O with the company sending up it's own men to erect it. City will be required to pay the freight costs. Present plan is to lay a concrete floor and raise the steel frame over it.

LABOR DISPUTE
 HALTS SAILING OF ALASKA VESSELS

SEATTLE - Members of two AFL union refused yesterday and today to sign aboard three ships of the Alaska Steamship Company. The ships are the Aleutian and Coastal Monarch, scheduled to sail for AL aska today and the Victoria, sched- uled to leave tomorrow.
 Both the Sailors Union of the Pacific and the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union ordered its mem bers not to sign on until their de- mands were met.
 Union officials contended the company was not following the re- cent NLRB order and is hiring a proportionately greater number of men than it should from the rival independent Marine Cooks a n d Stewards Union.
 D. E. Skinner, general manager of the steamship company, said the independent union has the support of the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen' Union which is also independent. Skinner said that while the company seems fac ed with an impossible situation, ev- cry avenue is being explored to find methods of averting complete disruption of Pacific coast ship ping

COLD STORAGE WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS REACH WORKING AGREEMENT

JUNEAU IAP)- The dispute between Southeastern Alaska cold storage workers and their employ CTS was settled today with repre- sentatives on both sides agreeing to 10 cents across the board wage in crease retroactive to April 1. Op- orators and marine warehousemen of the ILWU jointly asked approv- al of adjusted wage scale by the Wage Stabilization Board. Wage examiner Richard Cooley said the decision must be made in Seattle and may not be announced for a week or more.
 Both sides also dissolved legal actions against each other.
