Roseda|e Playground
Conference Held

Representatives of 10 organiza-
tions yesterday met with Commits
sioner F. Joseph Donohue to dis
cuSs inter-racial operation of the
Rosedale playground. Seventeenth
and Gales street NE.
Mrs. Helen B. Maddox, secretary
of the Citizens Committee to In

an organization of parents in
the vicinity. expressed the view
that segregation of the play area
creates a problem in the neighbor-
hood.
Colored children. she said, do
not have adequate facilities.
The playground is one of those
to be discussed at a meeting of
the District Recreation Boards
transition committee at 10 am.
tomorrow. Recreation Supt. Milo
Christensen has recommended
that it remain a white playground.
Other organizations represented
at yesterdays conference included
the Federation of Civic Associa-
tions, the Kingman Park Civic
Association. the Catholic Inter-
racial Council, st. Peter Claver
Center, the American Friends
Service Committee, Washington

School Priority Request

The Southwest Citizens Asso-

in requesting higher priority for
the building of a new school in
the area.
The PTA request was to be pre-
sented at a Board of Education
hearing today on the proposed
change from white to colored use
of the Fairbrother Elementary
School, according to Mrs. Allen
Headley. president Of the parents
group.
Mrs. Headley said the change
over Of the Fairbrother School
would increase the need for a new
white school, now given low pri-
ority in proposed school, building
plans. The PTA has no protest
against the change itself, she said.

meeting in the Southwest Branch

But sometimes" he added,

Constantine Brown:
Mccarthy Brave Since War, Too
Different Type Of Courage Is Needed in His Campaign
On Communist Subversves Freedom of thought Is Sofe

Senator Joseph Mccarthy, the
stormy petrol from Wisconsin,
has received the DISTINGUISHED
Flying Cross and the Air Medal
with four stars for "heroism and
extraordinary achievement" as
a Marine in the Pacific during
the last war.
Hundreds of thousands of
other men received similar rec
ognition. Men in the heat Of
combat know that if the worst
happens it will be quickly over.
But Senator McCarthy's bare
knuckle attacks on Communist
subversives call for a different
type Of courage. They require
a continuous fight before a vio-
lent barrage from wel1-organized
groups which have relied in the
past on public apathy toward
Communist dangers within the
United States and now claim to
defend freedom of thought in
this country.
Freedom of thought is in no
way impaired by the uncovering
of individuals who masquerade
as defenders Of freedom while
actually subject to Communist
Party discipline.
The announced investigation
of Communist infiltrations in
schools and colleges by the Com
mittee on Public Expenditures
headed by Senator Mccarthy is
likely to develop into an even
greater fight than the investiga-
tions of subversives and disloyal
persons in the Government. Ac-
cusationS of witch hunting and
suppression of academic freedom
will fly throughout the length
and breadth of the country. And
to the uninitiated these accusa-
tions will appear to have some
foundation.
It is unfortunate that not one
American in 100000 has had the
time or opportunity to read the
recent verbatim reports of the
hearings of the Internal Secu-
rity Committee which investi-
Evening star., 1952-12-31

gated subversive influences in
New York schools. Out of the Al
high school and college teachers
who testified before that sub
committee only one, Harry Al
baum, an associate professor Of
biology at Brooklyn College, ad-
mitted that he had been a mem
ber Of the Communist Party
until 1850. The others offered
specious arguments why they
would not answer this $64 ques-'
ton and eventually ended by
hiding behind the fifth amend
ment to the Constitution by re-
fuSing to answer because Of
possible standardization.
Isadore Rubin, a teacher
ouSted in 1851 by the New York
Board of Education and now
employed by the teachers union
as editor of q house organ,
stated under questioning by
Senator Ferguson that he con-
sidered the Communist Party
as just another political party
in the United States. When
pressed to answer whether he
had studied the theory and
purposes of that party he re-
fused to answer because 1T
might tend to incriminate" him.
Other teachers, after indulg-
ing in violent outbursts against
the activities Of that committee,
found shelter in the fifth
amendment when they were
asked not only whether they
were Communists but also to ex-
press opinions whether Commu-
nists are f1t to teach in schools.
Prof. Harry Albaum, an i'm
migrant from old Russia, alone
told the story of how he was
inveigled into the Communist
conspiracy; how he and other
teachers were then given ficti-
tious names and asked to do
chores for the party such as
spending their Sundays selling
the Sunday edition of the Daily
Worker from house to house.
He refused to do so lest some
body recognize him. But the

Trunnun's Most Serious Error
Some of His Decisions Were Indeed Worthy and Courageous
His Handling of the Macarthur Case Was Appalling

low it to a victorious con-
cluSion.
Such a decision was unfair
to the boys who had already
made the supreme sacrifice and
even more unfair to the 10000
who have been killed or wound
ed since the arnistice negotia-
tions were begun 18 months ago
under circumstances that led
the Communists to believe that
America was ready to surrender
and give up the goals which the
United Nations had announced
in it's 1850 resolutions-to unity
and pacify all of Korea.
Yet, ever since the removal
of Gen. MacArthur-notwith-
standing the long and drawn-out
futile negotiations-Mr. Tru-
man hasn't repented a bit. He
has insisted that what Gen.
Macarthur wanted was to "en-
large the war" Every time MIR.
Truman says that, he confirms
the analysis by the Communists
that the United States did not
dare to press the war in the
Far East to a conclusion and
that America and her allies
were bluffed into an indefinite
stalemate.
History has yet to write the
final chapter in the Far Eastern
war, but the blunder that pub
licly notified the enemy of the
exact limits of American policy
influenced the whole course of
events from the day Secretary
of State Acheson told a Senate
committee in May, 1851. that
the United States would be con-
tent with a truce around the
38th Parallel. When, in the clos
ing days of 1852, Gen. Eisen-
hover sought to recover Ameri-
can leverage by a dramatic trip
to Korea, Mr.. Truman could
only describe the journey as
the "outgrowth of campaign
demagoguery." The next Presi-
dent has the handicap of prov
ing the American purpose of
June, 1850, all over again.
The late Charles Ross, who
was the Presidents secretary,
once confided to this corre-
spondent that Mr.. Truman has
plenty of horse sense" There
is every indication from others
who know him we'll that, left
to himself, Mr.. Truman's in
stincts usually are headed in
the right direction. But he
seems to stand in awe of others
in Government who be mis-
takenly thinks know more about
what public policy ought to be
