premiership.
An Aleppo broadcast heard in
Baghdad. Iraq. described Col.
Hammond as military commander
of the Syrian army garrison in
Aleppo. 1t said the rebels had
promised the nation a return to
constitutional government and
have appealed to their brothers
in arms" to support the revolt.
0n Washington, a Middle
East diplomat said he had
heard that President Shislekly
left Damascus to avoid blood
shed. Another report circu-
lating in diplomatic circles
there was that rebel forces had
surrounded Damascus. There
also was speculation that Gen.
ShiShekly had gone to Egypt.)
Former President Put Forward.
The rebels smuggled into Bel
rut statement calling for recog-
milton of aged former President
Hachem Attassi as Gen. Shishek-
ly's successor.
Reports brought here from
Damascus with the statement
said the rebellion began last
night after an agreement be-

WHEELCHAIR TRIP.
(P. P. p, Washington


To the lady who asked the
advisability of taking a trip
abroad in a wheel chair. you
did not say who would ac-
company you, and as YOU have
to be lifted to and from the
chair it would have to be
some one strong enough to
do this. The trip by yourself
would be difficult if not i'm
possible, but with a compan-
ion, fairly easy. OF course.
sightseeing would be restrict
ed, but it would be interest
ing, stimulating and a big up
lift for the morale. Here's a
bravo and all good luck If
you want to attempt it.
I was in a wheelchair for
months and took many trips
to New York for Christ
mas, Atlantic City for the sum-
mer and Ashville for the au-
luminosity in a car with
my daughter and her hus-
band. Also I could stand and
step from car to chair. The
airlines are most obliging about
a wheelchair so if you fly over
they will put it in the baggage
compartment. But it must be
included in the pound allow
ance and it weighs about 10
pounds. Railroads are most
accommodating, too. They
merely fold the chair and
set it in the vestibule. The
conductor usually has it out,
open and waiting for you to
step in.
Atlantic City is the most
convenient place for wheelchair
patients, as everything is on a
ramp. You can settle in the
chair in your room, ride down
the elevator and out the front
door of the hotel flush with the
boardwalk; then every shop,
restaurant and theater has a
ramp. You may ride yourself
to shop dine or see a show and
back to your hotel room with
no help whatever.
England seems to have out
done us in improved Wheel
chairs. We noticed in London
this summer many chairs with
tiny motors, occupants riding
along at a lively clip. Also we
saw some hand pedals which
seemed to work with ease. One
never knows how kind this
old world is until one goes on
the street in a wheelchair.
Never think that New Yorkers
are selfish, dashing madly on
their way, for I never found
more helpful, kinder people
than on the streets of that
city.
Here's the best luck in the
world to a brave and spirited
lady. And if you cannot make
it abroad, try Atlantic City.

VIC REINEMER*

In CHARLOTTE On. c. DAILY NEWS
A confused young man appeared before
House committee this week His story illus
trates very real problem for the govern
ment, particularly the congressional commit
tees which created the problem.
The fellows name is Harvey Matusow. Only
27 he Joined the Communist Party in October,
1947 and was expelled from it in January,
1851 after having furnished information to
the FIJI for about year. He then became
professional anti-CommunSt. He was staff
investigator for the Ohio un-American Actlv
tiles Committee, an associate editor OF COUN-
TERATTACK. He sold articles about his eX
perience in the party. He testified before con-
gressional committees regarding infiltraton
of youth groups, unions, and the Institute of
Public Relations. He testified as a government
witness in the trial of Is Communist leaders,
who were convicted And he spoke on commu-
nism in several western states during the 1852
campaign.
He was in a new role, however, when he
appeared before the House Committee on un-
American Activities recently. The committee
counsel had information that MatusoW had
twice sought out Methodist Bishop G.. Bromley
Oman and apologized for lies he had told
about the bishop before congressional groups.
Matusow, said the bishop, told him he had
undergone religious experience and wanted
TO undo all the lies have told"
The House committee, having accepted
good deal of Matusow testimony in the past,
understandable wanted to know If Matusow
had been lying. Apparently not feeling con-
trte Monday, he assured the committee that
he had not.
Oxnams recent experience with Matu-
sow iibes with that Sen. James Murray of
Montana recently had with the young fell
low. Matusow had toured Montana during
the 1852 campaign making wild charges
This summer he went to Sen. Murray's Of

eat the words he had uttered two years
ago. (He was brusquely turned DOWN.

MATUs0W'S STORY POINTS UP a PROBLEM

whether not MatusoW is liar. On Oct 8,
1852 he swore before the Internal Security
Subcommittee that 'In New York City today
there are approximately 500 dues-paying
Communists working in the newspaper in
dustry. The NEW YORK TIMES has we'll
over 100 dues-paying members. TIME, INC
has 76 Communist Party members, working
in editorial and research, and just a few
months ago the Communist caucus regained
control of that unit of the (American) News
paper Guild" The subcommittee (Sen. Pat
McCarran was in the chair) took that tripe
without even questioning it. One week later
Matusow had ''found' many more Reds "The
Sunday section of the NEW YORK TIMES
alone" he said, ''has 1875 dues-paying Com
munists . The New York bureau of the
Associated Press has 25." (The total number
of NEW YORK TIMES Sunday section en-
ployes at that time, including two part-time
copy boys, was 3D.
In this instance, then, as in other cases in
voving imaginative informers, an irrespon-
sible congressional group originally permitted
injustice to be done. False impressions were
Created people and organizations unjustly
accused. The decision of the House Committee
on un-Amercan Activities to question Matus-
ow indicates that the committee may be be-
coming more aware OIL It's responsibility.
But is it enough merely to guard against
future injustices caused by reckless witnesses?
Do not these committees and the Justice De-
partment, several of whose professional in
formers are now under investigation by the
department ITSELF have a responsibility to |
re-evauate the testimoney of the unstable
witnesses they used, to prosecute the liars
and make amends to unjustly accused per-
sons and groups?
Surely, if the government is to have the
confidence of the American people, these
further steps must be taken.

Quad cities of Illinois and Iowa where
most of this nations farm machinery
is manufactured, you'll find shut
down factories with row after row of
farm machinery that is waiting to be
sold. You'll also find, or could few
weeks ago, some 1900 men looking
for jobs.
FARMER DOESN'T HAVE MONEY
Farmers ust didn't have the mon
ey to buy this new farm machinery.
They may have needed it, but instead
they decided to make the old one do
another year.
"But this story also works two
ways What about the 1900 fami-
lies whose breadwinners have no
jobs? Are they buying as much food
and as many clothes as they did? Of
course not.
They're cutting back on their
groceries as far as the human stomach
can stand it. They're not buying the
food stuffs the farmer grows, and the
farmer has lost an important custo-
mer when the worker gets laid off his
job.
That's why the farmer is con-
cerned about the growing unemploy-
ment in this country, and that is why
the average worker should be con-
cerned about falling farm prices.
''To achieve mutual prosperity,
both farmers and workers have to
be prosperous. Neither can go it
alone in our economy any more
than this nation can go it alone in
its international dealings"
POLITICAL CLIMATE 'UNSAVORY'
Characterizing the present political
climate as decidedly unsavory," Pat
ton declared:
at reeks of slush fund politics and
politicians 1t reeks, too, of smear and
fear. It's time of grab and giveaway,
and what big business politicians of
this administration will do in the four
years they are in office will take the
next administration 40 years to undo.
Right now the only major OBJ
stacle confronting those who would
turn this country into kind of cor
porate socialism is the obstacle formed
by the nations small I'd" democrats
the farmers and the workers. They
have a vitality important stake in the
democratic and economic future of
the United States, and they are the
ones who, by working together, can
make this country of ours fulfill it's
potentialities.
ARE GRIM
''The alternatives to such a stand
are grim indeed. For unless we =
farmers and workers together-fight
back with every resource at our COM
mand, predict that the United States
as we have known it, and as our par
ents have known it, will be thing of
the past.
'The National Farmers Union is
in the fight to the finish. We will
not limit ourselves to the farm
scene, although that is our major
concern. We will fight on every
legislative front where we think
inroads."
