District VFW Post
Blasts Plan 10 Form
Red Hunting Unit

The Press Post of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars rolled into ac-
ton here last night to oppose a
decision yesterday by the ma
tional VFW to hire a director of
un-American activities.
William Regan, public rela-
tions chairman for the local post,
said several members responded
to the news that the national
Office Of the veterans group is
going to go into the Communist
hunting business by calling for a
poll of members of the Press Post.
1.-THE Norwalk incident brought
enough bad publicity and when
that was finished we thought it
would be dropped" he said, "but
now the national commander is
going to pick the thing up
again"
Poll Shows Opposition.
After the poll, which showed
the members were overwhelm-
ingly opposed to the national
groups. action, the following
statement was released by Mr..
Regan:
"Press Post 4122 feels that the
VFW should pause before going
further in its program to hunt
out loyalty suspects.
"The Norwalk (Conn.) Incl
dent was a serious blow to the
respect for the organization held
by millions of middle-of the
road Americans. This simply is
not a time to stir up another
such fuss.
''NO Field for Amateurs.
"The job of uncovering and
exposing subversive groups
should be left to Government or
ganizations charged with the Job
and doing a good job. This is
no field for amateurs. Hunting
of Communists is best done
without publicity.
THE naming of a special per-
son to the VFW national payroll
for this purpose appears to dupli-
cate work already provided for.
The budget suffers in too many
places to duplicate here. The
organization could well afford to
give more attention to necessary
work in the true field of veterans
affairs.
