BRITISH FEAR We DON'T KNOW What
BREEDS COMMUNISM

+ pressed by the fuss made in Russia
and China over his visit"
Though Britain wouldn't outlaw
the Communist party, no one criti-
cizes the U. S. for doing so, Voorhis
said. But even conservative Eng
lishmen and Scotsmen think McCar-
thyism is alarmingly like Hitlerism,
from which they once suffered so
much"
British co-ops are Every large and
highly respected" Voorhis said. Co.
operative Wholesale Society, Man
chester, handles 81 4 billion worth
of goods a year for 100000 coop
members, including $50 million in
farm supplies. One-third of this comes
from CWS factories. Scottish Co.
operative Wholesale Society, Glas-
gov, has sales of $3.50 million year
to million member families. "Some
complain that their patronage re-
funds only run 6-796."
Big British co-ops usually have
no general manager. Their directors,
through committees, do the mana
gers job. Competition is keener,
however, and this management pat
ern may change, Voorhis thought.
The British economy appears
prosperous. Before World War ii
its farmers raised one-fourth of
al Il Il
raise one-half. But with no re-
sources except land and dwindling
coal reserves, Britain must export
products requiring great technical
skill, like cheap autos and jet
planes.

Contempt of Congress
Conviction Overturned
BY Labor's Daily News Service

WASHINGTON, D. CA new
trial was ordered by the United States
Court of Appeals for Mary Jane Kee-
ney*, convicted last year of contempt
of Congress when she refused to tell
the Senate Internal Security Sub
committee whether anyone in the
State Department had aided her in
getting job with the United Nations.
The three-judge panel, in a unan-
imous decision, reversed the convic-
ticn on grounds that testimony con-
corning the pertinence of the ques-
tions was taken in the presence Of
the jury when it is actually matter
for the judge to decide.

The benefit rates for persons

persons going on the benefit rolls
after July 1, 1856. The social security
deductions on earnings of between
$4,000 and $4,000 a year do not
begin until Jan. 1, 1866.

LONDON. = (CNS) - Without
doubt, Britishers will stand with the
U. S. in any crisis, but they're deeply
concerned at our apparent failure
to see that the only effective bar to
communism is social and economic
democracy.
Jerry Voorhis, the Cooperative
Leagues executive director, sum-
married talks he and IL other top
L. S. coop leaders had with Scottish
and English co-ops, August 1919.
eff we really want to lick COM

every effort to raise living stand

could it be that this defeated leg
islative proposal, which would have
affected the ownership and sound
management of 200 million acres of
national forests and Bankhead-Jones
lands, was not important enough to be
included in the box score?
AN UNLISTED STRIKEOUT
"Many of the leading conservation
lists have been cOntending all along
that the President has been poorly
advised on that special privilege bill,
and that contention is borne out by
the fact that this significant piece of
legislation was not even listed among
the Presidents major 'strikeouts.'
eff the White House had not gone
so far as to write letter of endorse
ment to the members of the Senate
House committee and urged the pas
sage of that rider, which would have
the full consideration
of that grazing rights bill by the
House of Representatives, the nation
al conservation organizations could
disregard the fact that the item was
omitted from the batting average.
"They appreciate that the admins
ration is committed to policy of do
ng something for the not more than
$1,000 grazing permittees that are
to run livestock on the ma
ional forest lands of this country"

Vice President C. R. Gutermuth of
the Wildlife Management Institute
here pointed out in letter to the
WASHINGTON POST and TIMES
HERALD that the President drew a
blank he didn't include in the box
score when he unsuccessfully backed
special privilege" grab by the live
stock grazers on federal forest lands.
The bill would have entitled the
grazers, who use the peoples land by
permit, to compensation for improve
ments they build on the land if their
permit is revoked.
Foes of the measure warned that
this would set up vested interest
in the lands for these permit-holders,
as the first step in campaign aimed
at turning the public lands
over to private interests.
BASE STEAL FAILED
The bill was passed by the Senate,
but was shipped in the House Agri-
culture Committee. It's advocates, try
ing to steal base, hooked it onto
the General Farm Price Support Bill |
as a rider in the Senate.
Mr.. Eisenhower wrote to the con-
'erees urging them to adopt it as part

)ut the House conferees stood firm.
The measure failed to become law.

many conservation leaders opposing
he measure that had the backing of
he grazers and various business or
wrote to the POST that:
"The fact that President Eisen-
lowers advisors are not cognizant of

ional forest grazing rights rider :.

COULD YOU AFFORD A FAIR TRIAL,
Cosstissssd fros's page sesess

that involved a woman who was
accused OF numbering her husband.
Her alibi was that she was ON a bus
going from New York to her home
town at the time her husband was
murdered. But how to prove this
at the trial?
Her bus ticket had been sur
rendered. 1t would be necessary to
hire detectives who would 60 out
of the state and locate the bus
driver. other passengers. taxi driv-
ers, ticket sellers, redcaps or any
one else who might remember the
woman. And then. if located, they
would have to be brought t0New
York and put up in a hotel with all
expenses paid, including whatever
salary they were losing for missing
work.
/ estimated that $1,64O was
needed for this phase of the de-
fense alone. The woman could not
possibly afford such expense so the
search was never made.
But if the prosecutor, with his
vast resources, wanted to locate
such witnesses, how quickly it
could be accomplished!
The R6efSog Case
ONE of the most dramatic of
recent cases is the one that in
volved the fate of a young man
named Paul Pfeffer. Penniless, and
with aprevious prison record, Pfef-
fer had been quickly convicted of
the murder of a sailor named
Edward Bates. He had protested
his innocence, claimed that he had
been with his girl at the time the
murder was committed and main-
tanned that a confession he had
given police had been beaten out
of him. However, he had no funds
with which to hire detectives to
substantiate his alibi, and as
result he got 20 years to life.
Ten months later a murderer
rapist named John Roche stated
that he had killed the sailor, and
he gave details to the police on
how he had beat him with a length
of pipe and then thrown the pipe
in a clump of bushes. The most
amazing aspect of the case was
that at this juncture the District
Evening star., 1954-11-28

Attorney who had convicted Pfef-
fer announced that he was not sat
isfied that Roche's statement was
true. As Ear as he was concerned,
Pfeffer would stay in prison. It
took a newspaper to break the
case open by locating the pipe and
pressuring for justice until Pfeffer
was finally released.
Now, in what looks like a trag-
edy of errors to those of us IN the
legal profession. Pfeffer has been
re-indicted for the same crime. But
regardless of the outcome of this
weird tangle, the fact remains that
Pfeffer IS getting a new trial thanks
to help from outside the regular
machinery available to defendants.
