U. 5. Steps Up Drive
Against Communists,
BrowneII Declares
To Press Coses Against
Bulky Probe Witnesses,
Attorney General Says
ev fhe As,ocloteei Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 5.
Atty. Gen. Brownell said to-
night that under past admins
trations much of the evidence
uncovered by the FBI in its
drive against Communism has
gathered dust In the Depart
ment of Justice files"
Now the dust is being re-
moved and lawyers in the Grim
inal Division are working long
hours each day to bring action
against those who would destroy
u.s." Mr.. Brownell said.
The Attorney General made
the statement in an address to
the annual convention Of the
American Veterans of World
War II.
Mr.. Brownell also disclosed
that the Justice Department, in
stepped-up campaign against
the Reds. is now engaged in a
study of persons who refuse to
answer questions about Com
muniSt affiliations in appear
anceS before Federal grand juries
and congressional investigating
committees.
Mr.. Brownell did not elabo-
rate, but many persons have re-
fused to answer such questions
in recent years.
Let me assure you," he said,
that we intend to press actions
in every possible field against
those who are engaged in the
great deception"
Mr.. Brownell cited an incident
in the Judy Coplon spy case as
one of many things which
prompted him to propose putting
the National Lawyers Guild in
the Justice Department list of
subversive organizations.
Mr.. Brownell said that when
the Russian spy, Valentin Gubit-
chev, was tried in New York
in 1949 along with ex-govern-
ment girl Judy Coplon, Gubit-
chev was defended by a Guild
member who took promptings
from a Soviet Embassy official.
seated at his side.
The Attorney General further
contended that the Guild was
organized in 1897 under the
direct supervision of the Com
munist Party in the United
States and has served as "the
legal arm of the Communist
Party"
Mr.. Brownell announced to
the American Bar Association
last week that he planned to
put the Guild on the subversive
list. charging it was Communist
dominated and fully committed

Senate Probe Coming
Into Fraud Charges
On StoekpiIing Setup
Bridges Hears Millions
Have Been Spent on
'Shoddy Materials
By Cecil HoIlond

Chairman Bridges of the SEN
ate Appropriations Committee
has ordered a study of COM
plants of possible fraud in the
handling Of the Governments
S. billion stockpiling program.
He said yesterday the COM
mittee has received reports that
millions of dollars have been
spent purchasing inferior ma
terials" while satisfactory ma
terials were available at the
same price.
"If this gross mismanage-
ment of the vast and vital stock
pile program is fact" the New
Hampshire Senator added, "re-
sponsible persons must certainly
be sought out and held account
able.
IF the American taxpayers
have paid S. billion for shoddy
materials, we must certainly find
it out and take steps to correct
the causes"
Involves weapons.
The program is administered
by the General Services Admin
istration. 1t was undertaken in
1916 with the aim of providing
a stockpile of strategic materials
for military needs.
Much of the operation of the
program has been secret since it
involves procurement of mate
rials for weapons.
Senator Bridges indicated a
full-scale investigation may be
undertaken if the reports are
supported by facts. He said the
committees investigative staff
has been directed to make a
preliminary inquiry.
The stockpiling program also
is under scrutiny by the Senate
Permanent Investigations sub
committee headed by Senator
Mccarthy. Republican, of Wis
conSin.
Loose Specifications.
Senator Bridges said the Ap-
preparations Committee also had
received complaints charging
discrimination by the General
Services Administration in buy
ing supplies for Government
agencies.
He said the complaints al
legged that the GSA's procure
ment practices practically elimi-
nate competitive bidding on
some items by specifying de-
tails only one supplier can
furnish. On other items, accord
ing to the complaints, the speci-
f1cations are so loosely drawn
that unsuitable products must be
accepted.

ended on a starkly dramatic
plane.
Among the last Ill Americans
released by the Reds were a

The United States State Depart

the confessions" as obtained by
torture.
Also returned without previous
announcement were the crew

They had been interned in Red
China.
Details were lacking on the

Murray Snyder, assistant t

asked at a news conference
about a story this morning by

reporter.
The story said it had been
learned from an authoritative
source that Gen. Eisenhower
was "gravely concerned" and
"displeased" about Mr.. Dulles
statements this week on foreign
issues.
The statements touched OF
angry reaction in West Ger
many, India and Italy. and ap-
peared to have ruffled officials
in a Fourth foreign government
Japan.
Mr.. Snyder said he did not
know what the Presidents reac-
tions were to the Tully story. but
that it was completely untrue" I"
Mr.. Snyder made the statement
to newsmen after comforting
with Gen Eisenhower. and he
said the President had read the
story.
Hasn't Expressed View.
The Dulles statements which
got him in hot water abroad
were made in speech to the
American Legion convention
Wednesday and at a Washington
news conference Thursday.
The fact is" said Mr.. Snyder.
"that Mr.. Dulles appointment
with the President) was re-
quested by Mr.. Dulles-and made
here-prior to his Thursday press
conference"
Mr.. Snyder said he believed
the engagement was made on
Monday.
Mr.. Snyder said there was
nothing unusual about Mr.. Dulles
coming to Denver. He recalled
that the secretary stopped here
August 10 on his way back to
Washington from Korea and
Japan, and that Mr.. Dulles sees
Gen. Eisenhower two or three
times a week when they both
are in Washington.
After clearing his desk of work
today, the President went to
Cherry Hills Country Club for a
round of golf. Tomorrow morn

Egyptian. Since foreigners de-
mand less in pay and privileges
than our citizens, it is a much
cheaper way to put a point
across. and in many cases, the
only way.
SkiIIfuI use of native popuIa-
tons is one reason why Soviet
Russia has been winning the
propaganda war in many parts
of the world. They transmit their
points mainly through the Com
munist party, but also through
Pan Slavists and idealists who do
not understand the true nature
of Soviet communism.
But when all this is said, the
fact remains that Americas big
trouble in Europe is due to a
basic attitude on the part of the
key countries there, such as Brit
ain and France. They simply
don't share the United Statess
sense Of urgency about the
Soviet menace. In Britain and
France this lack of alarm about
a potential enemy till it's almost
too late has become a national
characteristic.
Today a great many Euro
peans would like to think that
we are exaggerating the Com
munist danger for this would
justify their longing to cOncen-
trate ON vintage wines and straw
berries and cream rather than on
guns and discipline. They are
looking for a good excuse torelax.
SsilI Unpop1lAx
HE Democratic administra-
ton found out that concessions
to French and British criticisms
did nothing to increase our So
called popularity, abroad.
Pressure from France and Brit
ain, for example, caused the
United States in October. 1851,
to call off quite against our
better judgment successful
offensive in Korea and order a
virtual cease-fire in Difference to
European opinion that this would
appease the Communists into a
truce. The result was that we got
neither the truce nor an inn
provement in British and French
public opinion, which found other
reasons to dislike US.
One way for America to be-
come popular with many Euro
peans would be for President
Eisenhower to tell that continent
Evening star., 1953-04-12

to forget about the spinach and
the need for strength and con-
centrate on those cheese souff1es
that they contrive 30 artfully.
But he has already announced
that he viii ask more. rather
than fewer, sacrifices from the
American people and more rather
than fewer efforts from our Allies.
AS he starts to put his policies
into operation, President Eisen-
hover inevitably viii draw new
torrents of criticism. There win
be renewed ''hate campaigns"
from the Communists and do It
without us" campaigns from the
liberals and neutralists.
Mutual Salf.inAoxest
LEADERSHIP is a many-sided
process. It involves the capacity
to inspire Others. II requires the
ability to convey sincerity of
purpose and to find a common
denominator. Eisenhower s great
task is to demonstrate to our
Allies that It IS mutual self
interest that brings us all into
the great effort TO repel Soviet
imperialism, and that they have
as much at stake as we.
Fortunately for the United
States, President Eisenhower
does have great gifts of persua-
sion and compromise. But as
Adenauer wisely said, a lot of.
prodding is going to be necessary
torouse our Allies to the urgency
and action necessary to counter
the Red threat. And people don't
like to be prodded.
President EiscnhOwer has
the advantageo Of a bfand-neys
mandate from ls impressive
even to the Europeans. A sure
footed, strong America under his
leadership can't expect to be
popular but at least it can hope
to be respected.
If the American people under
stand why our. rich nation viii
inevitably be the target Of criti-
cism, if they refuse to be guided
by bitterness at the so-called
''ingratitude' of our Allies, they
will aid Eisenhower in his task of
Strengthening and uniting the
free world against Stain.
And nobody would deny that
it's more important to win the
struggle for the world than to
win an international popularity
contest. The End
