largely Of old material contributed to
other committees by Elizabeth Bentley
and Whitaker Chambers. There was
one new detail, conspicuous by it's alb
sence from the report. It was the testi-
mony of Prof. Gideonese, regarded as
friendly witness" for the committee.
He testified that the Communist Party
reached its peak in 1947 and has been
declining steadily ever since. Other
students of American Communism con-
cur, and go further by saying that the
party is now a wreck. CThiS must have
been dreary testimony to the Red
hunterso The first great break away
from the American Communist Party
came at the conclusion of the pact be-
tween the Russian Communists and the
German FaSciSts in 1889. Also, as the
economic status of "the forgotten man"
improved under the New Deal, Fair-Deal
creeping socialism the Communists
had more and more barren ground to
hoe. For these reasons, I cannot agree
with The Star that 1858 marks the
end of an era. Nor does the Jenner
report agree with The Stars view either,
though for entirely different reasons.
The Jenner report implies that the
'era" is still on. It says that Communist
penetration of the Government "has not
fully been exposed, and that policies
and programs laid down by members of
the Communist conspiracy are still in
effect in our Government. What pol
icies? What programs? Are the Nc
Carthyites getting ready to accuse Ike
OF being soft on Communism" as they
did his Democratic predecessors?
What worry about is the air defense
we haven't got. and the hydrogen bomb
that the Russians have got. But the
Red hunters seem too busy making the
headlines to worry about this vital prob
lem to America.

approximately 1888 pm. to arrive at
the West Broad street terminal in time
to make connections with the bus which
leaves for Vienna and Fairfax. At least
once a week, good weather or bad
people using that particular bus arrive
at the terminal to find that the Vienna
Fairfax bus has already departed. The
run from West Broad street to Fairfax
takes comparatively little time, but if
the connection is missed through no
fault of the passengers, then the pas
sengers must wait for approximately
one hour and 25 minutes before the
next one leaves. That means late dental
and doctor appointments, arriving too
late for the stores and post Office or
just having the trip from downtown
Washington take two hours and 38
minutes instead of one hour and 81
minutes
The bus lines should be forced to
hold any bus with an infrequent sched-
ule, similar to the Vienna Fairfax bus,
until the arrival of the bus from the
downtown area. The bus lines are
supposed to operate for the conven-
ience of the public, at price, but the
8 or 10 or Is people should not have to
wait around one hour and Is minutes
because the driver of the second bus
is anxious to make the trip and get to
his home on time The people riding
the buses have homes, too, and want
to get to them.
The above incident is one of the
many reasons why people are forming
car pools, driving their own cars, or
even hitchhiking-anythi to avoid
having to put up with present-day
public transportation.

Will Mossodeqh's Party Survive?

Iterating that his was the first true
peoples government, the Prime Minis
ter charged that preceding regimes had
been corrupted by the British, who felt
they had to interfere all along the line
in order to protect their huge invest
ments in Iran. But no one, not even
his most bitter critics, he asserted,
could accuse him or his administration
of graft.
DR.. MoSsadegh said that, while the
present Shah'S father spent oil royal
ties on obSolescent armamentS supplied
by the British, it was his plan to use
such monies for improving and extend
ing health and educational facilities,
paying off the national debt, raising
salaries of civil servants, building more
housing and undermining industry and
agriculture. He disclosed that some 500
young Iranian college men were abroad
studying in technical fields and that
that was just beginning.
When asked what he considered to
be his greatest task, DR.. Mossadegh de-
clared quickly: THE elimination of
British power in Iran, as exerted for
so years through the Anglo -Iranian Oil
Company" Then he smiled and said:
Tran and the United States have one
great thing in common. You won your
independence from Britain ITS years
ago. We have come to learn from you
how to deal with the British"
The Prime Minister hoped, he con-
tinued, that after Iran had settled its
problem with the British that his peo-
pies real friendship for the British
people would deepen.
Many British and American observers
had predicted an early collapse of his
administration because of financial
trouble accentuated by loss of oil reve-
nues. The Iranian leaders dark, beady
eyes were all but lost in the smile which
covered his face when reminded of
these predictions. Then he turned
serious and declared:
Because of greedy and corrupt lead
ers in the past, the standard of living
OF the mass of Iranians has been very
low. And the people temporarily may
have to endure further hardship. But
do not be misled. They will endure it.
My government draws its strength from
broad baSe-the people"
Continuing on this theme, he said
it would be ShortSighted and foolish to
follow British desires and withhold fl
nancial aid because of belief his ad-
ministration could not stand.
In the end, DR.. Mossadegh was proved
wrong. The people endured for much
longer than most foreign observers
thought likely, but he offered them
little hope for better times. The eco
nomic rather than the political prob
lem turned out to be more urgent.

tional economies, to which we contributed
heavily in grants and loans, demands in turn
the necessary markets to further or to maintain
their current health.
The corrective steps that are needed are
not unilateral responsibility weighing upon
the United States alone. But as the largest
creditor nation in the world today our policies
have the greatest impact upon international
commerce Mr.. Douglas has offered one in
formed line of reasoning on how these policies
should be revised to fit the times.

These lines are from that hardy per-
ennial of nearby Maryland Postmaster
Wilton j. Boswell of the famous old
Brookeville post Office.
We would amend Postmaster Bos-
well in one respect. No one need try
to get his job away from him, even to
see birds.
All one has to do is wake up at
a m, real time, and listen.
Even in the suburbs there are many
birds seldom heard except in the early
morning hours.
Bird music begins to die out, how
ever in August.
Early morning trips bring to light
many small animals, too; a skunk may
start across the road, or an opoSSum
leisurely wend its way.
Early travelling dogs must not be
forgotten. These fellows build up
routes of their own, being great crea-
lures of habit.
If an old dog finds plate of salmon
put out for some wandering cat, he
never forgets the treat, but goes back
to the same place every night in the
hopes of finding more.

Vatican Bitterly Criticizes
Archbishop Of Canterbury

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 23.-In
a bitter comment, the Vatican
radio said yesterday the Arch
bishop of Canterbury had "lost
a chance to be counted among
the defenders of Stefan Cardinal
WySzynski'S innocence.
The Vatican radio speaker, the
Rev. Francesca Pellegrino, was
replying to DR.. Godfrey F. Fish
er'S October IA criticism of the
Catholic church as being intran-
sigent and intolerant in the face
of state authorities.
Cardinal Wyszynski. Catholic
primate of Poland, was recently
removed from his Warsaw arch
bishopric by the Communist
rulers of his country.
CDR. Fisher" declared the
Vatican radio speaker, said, in
effect. that Cardinal Wyszynski
is guilty of having followed in
transigent and intolerant prac-
tees of the Catholic church,
which demands more of the state
than she is entitled to, and tries
to obtain it by political pressure. u

Rev. c. Gresham Marmion, jr.,
rector of Dallas Episcopal
Church of the Incarnation, an
nounced today he will become

AS plant operation increased,
the incidental problem Of full In
tegration of Negro labor became
more complex. Mr.. Horn, who had
given far more time to this parti-
cular phase of employment than
he could afford, insisted upon
deIegating the responsibility Of
the development of the program
to the writer, who had advised
with him from the beginning Of
the project.
Assigned first as a personnel
technician to the Industrial rela-
tions staff, the writer took over
the increasing problems associated
with the full integration of Ne
gro labor. AS a representative Of
the corporations president, efforts
were directed towards organizing
a department which would serve
the various divisions in the huge
plant as a liaison and resource
agency in all matters affecting
Negro personnel.
Presence of a Negro in an i'm
portant administrative capacity
stepped up noticeably the place
ments of Negro applicants in both
general production and skilled
Jobs. Tactful contacts with super
visory department personnel, es-
pecially those whose sections were
devoid Of Negro employees, re-
suited in a widespread visible in
crease of Negro production work.
ers. Negro workers showing un-
usual ability were sought out and
referred to the plant training de-
partment which in turn sent them
to a school at the corporations
expense during which time the
trainees' wages continued. At the
end of their course the trainees
were assigned to various machine
shops in the plant as machinist
helpers, and later upgraded to
machinists, millwrights, etc, as
their skills increased. One Of the
plant trained men Is the acknowl-
edged top man in the precision
machine shop work.
There were 100 Negro employ
ees concentrated in five depart
ments at the time of the writer's
appearance at the plant as a per-
sonnel technician. This number
grew rapidly to about 1000 at the
peak of employment, when Negro
men and women could be found
working in eleven departments, in
32 different job classifications,
viz, accountants, adjusters, bal
listicians, cafeteria workers, car
washers, clerks, custodial direct
ors, custodians, department direct

well prepared to perform such a
task because Of its paid staff and
its knowledge Of the persons who
made up the local Negro labor
market.
Social Agency Cooperation
The Importance Of contractor
social agency cooperation should
be understood when It Is realized
that Twin City employers had pre-
viously offered as excuses for fail
ure TO employ Negroes: their In
efficiency, alleged immortality, pre-
valence Of social disease, laziness,
interracial romances, pay day lay
offs, tardiness, poor personal hy-
gience and the oft-repeated, and
many times true, charge that
whites would not work with Me-
groes.
First Placements Set Stage
The Leagues Of both the Twin
Cities took their jobs seriously.
They referred for the first place
ments only those workers who had
good previous work records. This
process began with the construc-
tion stage Of the developing plant.
Recognizing that first impress
sions are usually lasting, the or
ganization combed the police civil
service eligible rolls to find Negro
applicants who could qualify for
plant guards. This first employ
ment move toward obtaining Ne
gro guards was purposeful. The
contractor felt that the appearance
Of Negroes in uniform In a semi
military organization would both
establish a precedent and prepare
the workers for the proposed pat
tern of full participation by Negro
employees.
This action brought the para
doxical opinions Of top ranking
Minnesota figures into sharp focus.
On the one hand. Negroes were
refused admission in the Minnesota
Home Defense force to drill with
out pay while on the other hand
Twin Cities Ordnance Plant en-
ployed five handsome, intelligent,
Negro guards as a part Of It's
newly organized plant protection
military unit which at that time
numbered sixty men. Each guard
was assigned without designation
Of race or color to perform his
respective police-military tasks.
Early in the experiment a visit
ing official from another plant was
taken completely by surprise when
a fine black guard with handsome
physique and firm courtesy in
spected his credentials along with
those Of hundreds Of others who
had business on the plant area.
How the people would submit to
Negro exercising such authority
could not be understood by this
official. The demeanor OF the first
five guard employees so set the
die that the proposed plan, to
place Negroes in each department
was made additionally secure.
Plant Improved Community Health
During the period from October
1941 to May 1912 the applications
Of approximately $500 Negroes liv-
ing in the Twin Cities were
screened by the two Urban
Leagues. Residents OF either city
