Policy Criticism

Therefore, last Tuesday
night I discussed our failure
to clean up one of the foulest
situations which we inherited
from the Democratic adminis-
tration.
I pointed out that on Sep
tember 10 of this year the
Army announced that some
900 American young men
known to have been living
prisoners of the Communists
in Korea were still unaccount-
ed for and that on September
IL of this year the Chinese
Communists announced that
they would not treat as pris-
oners of war American flyers
who were shot down during
the Korean war over Manchu-
ria. I pointed out that my
party was not responsible for
this Situation-that we had
inherited it from the corrupt,
CommuniSt-ridden Truman
Acheson regime, but that it is
now our duty properly to pro-
tect those young men.
The course of action which
I recommended was that we
refuse to give any American
dollars to any nation shipping

tinue to discuss the matter at

Secretary Dulles to reappraise

gard.

New Fireworks Seen
In Justice Denial Of
Denver Case Laxity
By Robert K. Welsh

A Justice Department denial
of laxity in a jury -tampering
case in Colorado and of political
haste in firing the United States
attorney who successfully prose-
cuted it seemed likely to draw
further Democratic fire today.
Assistant Attorney General
Warren Olney III, declared that
19 FBI agents took a prominent
part in the investigation that
led to the conviction of four men
last october on charges of trying
to influence jurors for a tax
evasion trial of a Denver gang
ster, Eugene Smaldone.
The statement, issued by the
head of the departments crimi-
nal division instead of by At
torney General BrownelI, also
declared that Charles S. Vigil,
a Democrat, knew several months
ago that he was to be replaced
by Donald E. Kelley, a Republi-
can, as United States attorney.
Says Vigil Changed Mind.
Mr.. Olney said the dismissal
OF Mr.. Vigil had nothing to do
with his successful handling of
the Smaldone jury tampering
case. He asserted that Mr.. Vigil
had indicated a willingness" to
resign after the trial but later
changed his mind" and had to
be fired.
Mr.. Olney said he made the
statement because of charges
lin the course of a program of
political discussion" that the case
in Federal Court in Denver had
been miShandled by the depart
ment.
He did not mention the name
of Clayton Fritchey, deputy
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, who in a tele-
vision program cited complaints
that Mr.. Brownell refused to
send FBI agents to help Mr..
Vigil in the jury-tampering in
vestigation. Mr.. Fritchey also
mentioned what he called JUS
tice Department failure to pro-
vide similar FBI assistance in
a grand-jury investigation of la
bor-union racketeering in St.
Louis.
Disputes Judge Ritter.
Dealing solely with the Den
yer situation, the Olney state
ment apparently disputed Fed
eral Judge Willis w. Ritter of
Denver. Judge Ritter declared
from the bench last month that

fused Mr.. Vigil's request last

McC Corthy Reply toPresident

Republicans retain control Of
Congress.
8. The new administration
has already rid itself of 1,456
security risks inherited from
the Truman administration
practically all of whom were
removed beause of Communist
activities or connections or
perverSion. This is a fine rec
ord and a real contrast to the
Communist-ridden Truman
AcheSon regime.
4 I believe that the question
of communism will be an i'm
portant issue in 1854, because
the facts have proved that the
Democrats represent the party
Of the left, the party which is
soft on communism. This will
become more and more ap-
parent as the full facts about
the Truman cover-up of Com
munists becomes known. This
Nation must stand as the lead
ing bulwark against commu-
nism in the world and on the
subject of communism the diff
ference in attitude between the
Republicans and Democrats
will be the most important po-
litical issue for many years
to come.
This should make it clear
once and for all that will
continue to give my utmost
support to the Republican
Party now and in the future.
This does not mean that 1
will refrain from criticizing
my party when I think it is
making mistakes.

Mccarthy Quoted
AS Having No Plans
To Seek Presidency
.AP Photo.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-News-
week Magazine quotes Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin as saying he has no in
tention or desire to be a candi-
date for President and that he
is not challenging President
Eisenhower's leadership.
The magazine said it inter-
viewed the Senator in Wisconsin
latter his Nationwide television
speech (November 24) had stirred
both his Democratic opponents
and those within his own party
who saw it as an attack on Pres
ident Eisenhower"
Newsweek quoted these ques-
tionS and answers:
"1S your speech the opening
gun in campaign for the presi-
dency in 1852"
Definitely not. I have neither
any intention nor desire to be a
candidate for anything else than
the United States Senate"
Not Challenging Leadership.
"Are you challenging the Pres
ident's leadership of the Repub-
lican Party?"
mo. Definitely not. He has
done a good job. I think his
batting average has been good.
don't think it is any favor to
the President, however, and cer-
tainly no favor to the country,
for the Republicans to wear
blinkers in the small percentage
OF cases where he is not batting
so well. :"
Asked why he included his own
party in criticism of the way the
Communist issue has been han
died, Senator Mccarthy said he
"felt very strongly that a party
makes an awful mistake when it
doesn't indulge in self-criticism
where necessary"
To a question of whether he
would consider tying himself to
a third party if the administra-
tion refuses to make communism
the issue, he replied in part:
mo. Because I think this ad-
ministration is willing and
anxious to clean out Commu-
nists."
Will Support All Republicans.
He was asked whether he
would support all Republican
candidates or just those who
supported his efforts to clean
Communists out of Government.
Senator Mccarthy said he will
feel "duty-bound to support all
Republican candidates for the
House or Senate" because a close
contest lies ahead, with party
control of Congress in the bal
ance.
IF the control of the House
and Senate did not hang by such
thin thread there would be
certain Republicans whom
would refuse to support" he
said. IF the Democrats gain
control it would mean the Dem
ocrats would control every COM
mittee and every investigation. /"
In his November "a speech
Senator Mccarthy differed with
President Eisenhower's expressed
hope that the problem of COM
munism in Government would be
resolved before the 1854 elec-
tionS. Senator Mccarthy said it
was an unpleasant fact" that
communism is an issue and will
be an issue in 1854.

appraisal may result in a change
of policy in this respect"
After reading his statement
for the TV cameras, Senator
Mccarthy was asked if his state
ment was "a perfumed note" to
the administration. He had
used those words in his address
last week in attacking the ad-
ministration's foreign policy.
The Senator said he had issued
a statement and there would be
no questions and no answers.
Discounts Basic Split.
Senator Mccarthy appeared to
discount any basic split with
the administration. He took oc-
casion to praise President Eisen-
hover, saying he has "a great
deal Of admiration for the Pres
ident," and thinks he has IAN
excellent record for the time
he has been in Office"
But the Senator stood by his
previously expressed view that
communism will be an impor-
tant issue in 1854. Gen. Eisen-
hover said yesterday that he
expected the administrations
cleanup campaign to be so sue
cesSful that "the fear of Com
muniSts in the Government"
would not be an issue in next
years election.
Senator Mccarthy expressed
the opinion that communism
will be an issue because "the
facts have proved that the
Democrats represent the party
of the left. the party which is
soft on communism.
Gen. Eisenhower moved per-
sonally into the controversy yes
'terday in telling a news con-
ference that he was Gin full &C
cord' with the statements made
Tuesday by Secretary Dulles.
Comments Vary.
The Presidents statement
drew varying comments even
from members of his own party.
House Speaker Martin said
Gen. Eisenhower "heartens the
American people in his state
ment that the Communists
in Government, a problem
inherited from the previous
administration, will be cleaned
up before the congressional elec-
tionS." He added that this
would be an achievement the
people will not forget.
Mr.. Martin also predicted that
before the 1854 session ends Con-
gress will enact "the Republican
program under the leadership of
President Eisenhower" He add
ed it will give the people 80
much courage and confidence
that the election of a Repub-
Ican Congress will follow"
On the other hand, Senator
Butler, Republican, of Maryland
said that Gen. Eisenhower ex-
pressed "a very fine hope but I
just don't think it possible"
He explained that there are
indications of spying operations
continuing in the Government
and said that fresh efforts to-
ward inf1ltration are a continu-
ing problem.
A similar view was expressed
by Senator Welker, Republican,
of Idaho, who said:
II can't agree with the Presi-
dent. In my firm opinion, Com
muniSm will be an issue in 1854;
yes, in 1856. The American
people are entitled to know what
administration brought the Com
muniSts in and what adminstra-
ton rooted them out"

expressed By President Eisen-

Dulles:
On November "a I discussed
how Communist agents were
protected, coddled and pro-
NOTED under the Truman
Democrat regime. I then
pointed out a few mistakes
made by my own Republican
Party. At that time I said:
Before looking at some of
the cases in which our batting
average is zero, let me make it
clear that this Republican ad-
ministration is doing a job so
infinitely better than the Tru-.
man-Acheson regime that there,
is absolutely no comparison. "

time as any other man last

pie to elect President EiSen-
hover. I would do the same
again. as 1 have a great deal
of admiration for the Presi-
dent and think he has an ex-
cellent record for the time he
has been in Office. However,
errors by Democrats or Re-
publicans are equally bad. One
of the reasons that the DEM
ocrats were removed from Of
fee was their refusal to rec
ognize their own errors and I
feel that if Republicans do
likewise it may be fatal to our
great political party and to
our country.

Olney, asked for FBI agents to
question and investigate all
members of the panel from which
a jury would be selected for a
second trial of Smaldone on in
come tax evasion charges. The
first trial in June ended in a
hung jury.
"Mr. Vigil was advised by a
representative of this division
that it would be improper for
the FBI to interrogate and in
veStigate prospective jurors con-
corning case upon which it
was contemplated they might
sit," Mr.. Olney said. 1T was
suggested that it would be more
appropriate for the judge to ask
the jurors in open court at the
time they appeared whether any
approaches had been made to
them. Of course, if this had been
done they could have been dis
qualified by the court and then
been interrogated by the FBI.
Mr.. Vigil expressed his concur
renee in this view and stated he
would recommend this course to
Judge Ritter.
"The only other request was
discussed with Mr.. Vigil on the
telephone three days later. At
that time he stated that he
wanted the FBI to investigate
the background and financial
status of all members of the
petit jury panel that had been
slated to try the Smaldone tax
case in September.
"He stated that all of these
jurors were to be summoned and
examined before the grand jury
in connection with the alleged
jury tampering and that he
wanted the information in order
to croSs-eXamine them since he
believed the jurors who did not
have much money would be more
suspect of having accepted a
bribe. He was advised that
juror should not be subjected
to suspicion simply because he
was mot well-to-do and that
such an Investigation was not
proper"
Denies Failure in Case.
Mr.. Olney insisted that the
Justice Department never failed
at any point to press for the
speedy convictions secured in this
case" He reported that the
FBI, when informed of jury
tampering attempts in mid
September, Immediately pro-
ceeded with the investigation
with it's customary speed and
thoroughneSs."
He noted that Treasury agents
"also played an extremely i'm
portant part in the investiga-
ton" He said Treasury agents
obtained information as early as
last June 80 that there had been
possible corruption in connection
with the jury which failed to
agree on a verdict in the first
trial of Smaldone.
In Denver Mr.. Vigil said today
that mo one is disputing" that
the FBI took part in a jury tam
pering investigation here.
He qualified previous state
ments he had made to reporters
that the Justice Department
brushed off his request for FBI
assistance in investigating the
case.
"I don't know how many
agents were on the case, ">he said.
But there is no doubt of FBI
participation. Just where FBI
help started and stopped, I can't
say now"

Parry Leaders Back
President in Dispute,
Leonard Hall Says
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

Leonard w. Hall. Republican
national chairman. said at the
White House today that TOP.
congressional and State leaders
with whom he has talked are
completely in accord" with
President Eisenhower's state
ment taking issue with Senator
Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
consin.
Mr.. Hall talked with newsmen
after having breakfast with Gen.
Eisenhower.
In reply to a question, the
G. Oh chairman said that "of
course" he and the President
discussed the controversy over
Senator McCarthy's speech last
week.
In that speech, the Wisconsin
Senator was critical of admins
tration foreign policy. He con-
tended the administration has
been too soft, for example, with
respect to some nations trade
with Communist China.
Cites Support for President.
On Tuesday Secretary of State
Dulles said such criticism as
Senator McCarthy's struck at
"the very heart of United States
foreign policy" of cooperation
with allies rather than domina-
ton. Gen. Eisenhower told his
news conference yesterday that
he was in full accord with Mr..
Dulles.
Mr.. Hall was asked today
whether he thought Gen. Eisen-
hover was right and Senator
Mccarthy wrong. Mr.. Hall re-
piled:
1.-THE leaders of Congress and
those in the States to whom
have talked have stated they are
completely in accord with the
President in his statement at his
news conference. and they are
very happy with the statement"
Mr.. Hall said he got in touch
with quite a few" G. o. P. con-
gressional and State leaders after
Gen. Eisenhower's news confer
ence. o..
II think the President once
again has shown his dynamic
leadership of our country" Mr..
Hall declared.
"Tough Policy" Pledged.
He noted that Gen. Eisenhower
called the struggle against COM
muniSm "the battle of the ages"
and Mr.. Hall added:
1--WE are going to be as tough
with CommieS who have crept
into our Government as we are
firm with communism as a world
ISSUE"
Gen. Eisenhower repeated yes
terday that he is convinced the
Communists-in-government con-
troverSy won't figure Importantly
as an issue in next years con-
gressional elections, Senator
Mccarthy had stated it would
be a main issue.
Asked whether he looks for
Republicans to make an issue of
the matter, Mr.. Hall said:
I'm my opinion the people are
not going to forget who allowed
the Commies to get into our
Government and who ousted
them. Naturally, in that way it
will be discussed in the cam
paign."
President Wants Facts.
Mr.. Hall also expressed the
opinion that Gen. Eisenhower
sees it that way himself.
"The President said the peo-
pie want the facts and will get
them" Mr.. Hall remarked, add
ing that he was referring to Gen.
Eisenhower'S statement yester-
day.
Mr.. Hall said that when a
real effort is made not to let the
Commies in (the Government)
they won't be-" He added:
Certainly the Eisenhower ad-
ministration won't leave any
gates open or put out any red
carpets for .Commies to come in
to our Government"

points perfectly clear:

louS and untrue.
