Make Proven Reds
Smith Act VioIators,
House Unit Urges
By [. Edeor Primo

The House Un-American Ac-
/ tivities Committee wants proven
! membership in the Communist
Party to constitute prima facie
evidence of a Smith Act viola
ton, the penalty for which
could be 10 years in Jail and a
$4,000 fine.
This is the principal recon-
mendation the committee will
make to Congress on the basis
of it's Investigations and hear
ings last year. an announcement
revealed yesterday.
The Smith Act of 1910 pro-
hibits any person from know
ingly and willfully participant
ing either individually OF with
a group, in activities aimed at
overthrowing the Government
by force or violence.
IL Convicted Under Act.
1t was under the Smith Act
that the Government convicted
the II top United States Com
munist Party leaders. In that
case, however. the Government
had to present elaborate proof
of conspiracy. The new pro-
posal would simplify the task of
/. prosecution. .....
"Since the Subversive Activi-
ties Control Board has found
that the Communist Party is a
subversive organization and the
testimony before this committee
has also definitely established
the oenSpiratorial nature Of the
Communist Party. the commit
tee recommends that the Smith
Act be amended" the state
ment read.
The committee also urged the
immediate revocation of an Of
ficer's commission in the armed
forces if an officer refuses to
answer questions by a duly au-
thorized body concerning his
present or past membership IN
the Communist Party.
| Would Utilize Wire Tapping.
Among other things. the COM
mittee also recommended that:
J l. Wire-tap evidence be admis-
sible in cases affecting the ma
tional security.
2. Legislation be enacted to
prevent the abuse and misuse of
the Fifth Amendment by wit
nesSes, which in the past has
"thwarted the uncovering of sub
versive activities"
3. A study of the non- Commu-
mist oath provision Of the Taft
Hartley Act be made. with view
to strengthening it so Red in
filtration of labor unions might
be effectively combatted.
4. 1t be made a crime for any
person to transport. without au-
thorization, any classified Gov
eminent document in interstate
commerce.

Men Of Little Minds
Create Red Issue,
Carthy Declares

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Sen-
ator Mccarthy. Republican OF
Wisconsin. said today that "men
Of little minds elevated to high
position" are trying to make
Communism a political issue.
There is no reason on Gods
EARTH" Senator Mccarthy told
a Legion group. "why this con-
test between Americanism and
atheistic communism should
form the basis for a contest be-
tween the two great American
parties"
Senator Mccarthy recently
disagreed with President Eisen-
hover and other leading mem
bers Of his party on whether the
Communist issue would be ma
jor one in the 1854 elections.
While the President and others
expressed the hope that it would
not, Senator Mccarthy said he
believed it would be the main
issue.
To Test Amendment.
Senator Mccarthy said also
that a test would be made soon
of the right of witnesses before
congressional committees to in
woke the Fifth Amendment in
refusing to answer questions.
Should the right be over
thrown. he said. "a sizeable
number" Of Communists will be
jailed.
quite a few Of them have
been seeing how far they could
get away with using the Fifth
Amendment to cover a conspir-
acy against the United States. "
he said.
He said. however, that he does
not favor repeal of the Fifth
Amendment even though it is
abused"
Refers to Trade Issue.
Earlier in today's speech Sena-
tor Mccarthy called for defeat
of any Congressional candidate
who is not on record as opposing
aid to any friendly nation which
trades with "our enemies"
Senator Mccarthy spoke at a
luncheon of the Theodore Roose-
welt, jr., American Legion post
after a morning session of his
Senate permanent Investigations
subcommittee he had questioned
a man he described as an Army
major who was a Communist.
Senator Mccarthy sat as a
one-man committee. and later
said the unidentified Army ma jor
had refused to answer a number
Of questions on grounds of self
determination.

Court evidence for the Govern
ment II Congress grants the ad-
ministration's request for wire
tap authority this session.
Evidence based on wire tapping
can't be introduced in Federal
courts. But bills to change this
have been offered in both houses.
They're scheduled for early de-
bate in the House. Senate action
is expected to follow before adj
journment.
Proponents and opponen is
alike agree that they're repug-
nant to tradition, dangerous to
democracy and violate individual
freedom. But they also agree
that some form Of wire tapping
may be necessity to safeguard
the national safety in the face
of the Communist conspiracy.
The hard choice between what
instinct says shouldn't be done
and security says has to be done
has produced several alternative
proposals. They range from one
by Representative Clardy, Re-
publican, of Michigan. which
would permit the Government
to bring to court wire-tap evil
dence obtained lin the course of
an investigation Of any matter
which concerns or affects the
national security" to one by
Representative Heating, Repub-
lican, of New York, which would
permit wire tapping in cases in
volving subverSion. treason or
espionage with the express ap-
prevail of the Attorney General,
but would permit introduction
of Wire-tap evidence in court

Institute of Pacific Relations. >
Gen. Taylor declared: Such
puerile attacks on our represen-
tatives abroad are most damag-
ing because they undermine oul
prestige and rob our policies OF
!. deXibility."
Senator Welker, Republican
of Idaho, in a recent Senate
speech accused Mr.. Dean OF
spreading propaganda apparently
designed to favor appeasement
of Red China and mentioned his
former connection with the in
stitute. This private reseach
group has been criticized by some
congressional investigators as
Communist-influenced or infil-
trated in the past.
Nixon Speaks Today.
Dwight Lawrence. president OF
the City College of New York
Chapter of the NAACP, ad-

zenShip and the responsibilities
of Negro youth. He was followed
by DR.. William Hale. head OF
the department of social sciences
at Atlanta University, who spoke
on ending segregation in South

fore or hereafter" providing the
evidence was to be used In Fed
eral prosecutions for treason,
espionage or any other crime
involving the national security"
Approved by subcommittee.
Mr.. Keating's- bill recently won
unanimous approval from a
House Judiciary subcommittee.
The House leadership hopes to
have it or some similar measure,
through the full committee and
ready for floor action in two or
three weeks. Although the meas
ure will not move so fast in the
Senate. where several members
have expressed grave doubts con-
corning it's dangers, the admin
istration still believes a bill will
be ready for the Presidents sig
nature by the time Congress goes
home this summer.
If this is done. the FB1 will
then be able to bring to court
the vast accumulation of evil
dence it already has in its files.
Also the Government will then
have the right to put tap on
the individual citizens privacy
whenever national security can
be shown.
This may prove to be just what
is needed to defeat communism,
or it may prove to be just the
self-weakening of democracy
which the Communists want.
Balancing the dangers against
the necessity. the administration
and MANY legislators believe
there is no choice but to take
the gamble and hope 1t works
out for the best.

Gen. Taylor Rips Mccarthy,
Bockers for ugly Tactics

Retired Brig. Gen. Telford
Taylor last night blasted Senator
Mccarthy. Republican. of Wis
consin. for actions nothing
short of contemplate"
The former war crimes prose-
cutor. who recently has engaged
in a running dispute with the
Senator. also loosed a broadside
at "discreditable groups" that
support the practices of certain
Congre sSiona investigating
groups.
Gen. Taylor did not name any
Of his targets. but left little
doubt about the man he was at
lacking. He and Senator Nc
Carthy have had previous ex-
changes. Only the vehemence
of Gen. Taylor's remarks could
have come as a surprise to his
audlence-a National Youth
Legislative Conference sponsored
by the National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored
People. The meeting was at
Howard University.
Nothing Short of Contemplate.
In an obvious reference to
Senator Mccarthy, Gen. Taylor
said:
"A particularly strident sena-
torial voice has been demanding
not only a world trade embargo
on all trade with Communist
countries. but also that we should
cut off all American aid to coun-
tries that continue to trade with
Red China.
The means used to support
the argument were to call for a
public demonstration by tele-
grams to President Eisenhower
Anxious concern for the
prisoners is not the private pre-
serve OF any one politician. and
it is nothing short of contempt
BILE that their misery should be
exploited in this manner
In every nation there are in
dividuals and groups that pursue
their selfish purposes by ugly
and arrogant methods. So far
the United States has been more
successful than most other ma
tions in keeping these discredit-
able groups within bounds"
Gen. Taylor said that during
the present cold war. Americans
have found their enemy elusive
"A citizenry that cannot finc
a point of contact with real
perils." he said, lis ripe to be sci
failing at those that are greatly
magnifled or wholly imaginary.
THE demagogue points an &C
cusing finger of fear or hate at
some individual. or institution
or idea, and all too many of us
like Stampeded sheep, take ul
the cry that we are gravely i'm
periled by traitors in our schools
and colleges, in our great en-
dowed foundations, or even
among our ministers of the
gospel.
1T has even been a matter OF
national concern whether a GER
tain harmonica player should be
allowed to perform in a certain
Connecticut town. In such an
atmosphere, the ambitious and
INSCRIPTIONS politician can rise
to great power, borne on waves
Of hysteria.
Defends Arthur Dean.
Again without mentioning the
name of the lawmaker involved,
Gen. Taylor spoke out against
criticism of Arthur Dean, special
United States envoy for the Ko-
rean peace negotiations. Gen.
Taylor said he was not passing
judgment on Mr.. Deans ability
as a diplomat, But I do not
think that his diplomacy should
be condemned-as it was recently
by a leading Republican Sena-
tor-on the ground that Mr..
Dean has been a trustee of the
