expeditions to the New World
and Roanoke Island.
Unlike Paul Green and other
contemporary writers, Tracy
does not use Eleanor Dare as his
heroine, nor John Borden as his
hero. Chief Manteo, the Indian
who befriended the Raleigh
colonists, takes second place to
Wanchese, the second chieftain
who accompanied the Barlowe
and Amadas expedition back to
England. Wanchese in Tracy's
book was not the turncoat Indian
that Manteo turned out to be. y
Other characters in Roanoke
Renegade include Dion Harvie,
Margeay Hollis, staggering Sir
Francis Drake, and Rycko, a
"doe-eyed" Roanoke maid who
teaches Dion that love is not
confined to civilized" women.
Through the pages of Roanoke
Renegade, the reader meets 9TH
er characters, historical and
otherwise, including Sir Richard
Granville, Captain Ralph Lane,
Guy Goven, John White, the art
ist governor, Lord Wslsingham,
Mary, Queen of Scots, and many
others.
While this is the first histori-
cal novel with a North Carolina
setting, Tracy has two others to
his credit, chesapeake Cava-
lier" and Crimson is the Eastern
Shore. Previously however for
Saturday Evening Post and other
nationally circulated slick paper
magazines, he has written such
stories as Island Feud," about
Ocracoke; Trouble at Kinna-
keet", about Avon; and "The
Duck that Flew Backwards"
about the famous wildfowl hunt
ing grounds of the Outer Banks.
Tracy is charter member of
Honorary Tar Heels, a very ex-
elusive organization founded by
Bill Sharpe when he headed the
State News Bureau during Gov
ernor Gregg Cherry's admins
tration in North Carolina.

who demanded that this Ache
son leftover" be fired. Mr..
Lourie complied. He made up
a list of four names-all ex-
perienced security men-and
asked j. Edgar Hoover's ad-
vice about them. The FBI
chief found fault with none.
OF the four, only Mcleod
agreed to tackle a dynamite
loaded position. The others
were either unavailable be-
cause they had better posi-
tons, or preferred blessed
anonymity.
Senator Bridges reluctantly
agreed to part with Mcleod,
his executive assistant. when
he was told that he must show
his interest in the cleaning up
of the State Department by
making the personal sacrifice.
AS far as I know, Senator
Mccarthy knew nothing of this
appointment. In any event, he
never carried sufficient weight
with the Secretary of State to
have even a clerk appointed
on his recommendation. AS a
matter Of fact. Mr.. Dulles was
pleased with the Mcleod ap-
pointment because he believed
that his new security and per-
sonnet chief might have a re-
straining influence on the Wis
consin Senator.

Mcleod Called Victim Of Critics
Clipping OF His Wings Is Blamed on Clique Of Accusers
Inside and Outside Department Who Demanded Scalp
Constantine Brown

Scott Mcleod, the contro-
versial former FBI man who
was placed in the State De-
partment by the Republican
administration for house
cleaning purposes, has been
shorn> of his control over per-
sonnet. It is my belief that
this action was taken to satisfy
his critics inside, and particu-
larly outside, the department.
Soon after his appointment
Mcleod became a marked man.
He was never given a margin
for error" by his critics and the
slightest slips were checked
strongly against him. He was
attacked as a violent Republic
can partisan because of the
speeches he made last month
at the demand of a number of
Senators and especially Chair
man Hall of the Republican
National Committee.
Yet Mcleod was not a blind
partisan. Last June he spoke
before the Rock Greek Repub-
licarl Club. an organization Of
nearly thousand women from
Maryland and the District of
Columbia. He f1abbergasted his
audience by answering a ques-
ton as to why he had not
ousted more appointees of the
previous administration. He
informed the women that my
job is to clean UP the de-
partment of undesirables. The
fact that an individual is a
New Dealer or a Fair Dealer
does not make him a bad
security risk"
There was the rumor that
Mcleod had been rammed
down the throat of the Secre-
tary of State by Senator
Bridges and a stooge of Sena-
tor Mccarthy. Nothing is fur
ther from the truth. Neither
man had anything to do with
his appointment. When Mr..

the Democratic members of
the Senate who participated
in as vicious q case of public
abuse as has been written into
the public records in the men,
ory Of this correspondent.
A presidential appointee was
accused of lying. His integrity
was assailed and his name
besmirched. The oft-raised
cry that a man Is innocent
until proved guilty was fla
gravity disregarded. Because
q few Democratic Senators
chose to misinterpret facts to
their own liking, they put into
the record a charge of falsi-
fication which they have not
withdrawn.
The American people in the
last few days have been told
that q general in the United
States Army was 'browbeat-
en-" and Inundated" by one
Republican Senator. The
comments made by that Sena-
tor, with one single exception
which was indefensible -
were mild and tame compared
to the accusations heaped on
Albert Beeson, who was nomi-
mated and later confirmed by
the margin of one vote to be

Labor Relations Board
No such 'browbeating" has
ever been put into the Con-
gressional Record. Eighteen
pages of the Record Of Feb

based on the fiimsiest pre-
texts. Anybody who reads
those pages effectively cannot
but be impressed with q be-

Noguib Could Not Be Replaced
The Temporary Deposition of the Egyptian President
Served at Least This One Purpose, if Nothino Else

The temporary deposition of
the Egyptian President. Gen.
Naguib served at least one
purpose. It demonstrated
where the authority of the
Egyptian regime lies.
Gen. Naguib was a creation
Of the revolutionary council Of
young army officers who made
the coup d'etat that replaced
the King and Parliament.
When, for whatever reason,
he fell afoul of the more dy-
manic leaders, they who
created him. thought they
could easily replace him.
Obviously they found in a
few hours that they were
wrong-that If Gen. Naguib
did not exist. some one like
him would have to be found.
No one of the council would
do His removal split the revo-
lutionary council. split the
army. and split the country.
There are strong counter
revolutionary forces in Egypt.
No ong-established ruling
oligarchy relinquishes power
without striving, however de-
viously, to regain it. It is inn
possible to cut off the heads
of all who have been waiting
to see regime fail, for which
a division in its own ranks
would be the signal.
Nor does the regime repre-
sent the only revolutionary
forces in Egypt.
Egyptian Communists look
upon the 1852 revolution as
merely an opening phase. and
they have never been adverse
to joining hands with the
more radical elements Of the
Moslem brotherhood. These.
too. have been waiting for o
split in the regimes ranks.
Thus, should the regime dis

integrate, forces both right
and left are waiting to be its
heirs.
The reaction Of Egyptian
university students is of high
importance. In Egypt, stu
dents are often the surest
barometer Of political devel-
opments. With the stepping
aside of Naguib, that barom-
eter Immediately registered
stormy weather.
The two difficulties of every
regime that suppresSes open
criticism are that it has no
accurate gauge of its own pop
ularity. and that it rests on
no principles of legitimacy.
The Egyptian incident"
demonstrated that the popu-
larlty and stability of the re-
gime rest on the person of
President General Naguib.
And since its only legitimacy is
popular consent. he also rep
resents its right to rule.
The regime initially declared

scanty-fell out of favor for
demanding more responsible
procedures rather than in

Senate Committee stating that
the misunderstanding had been
satisfactorily explained and
that there was no lack Of in
tegrity involved. It was a case
in which confusion had oc-
Cured.
One phase Of the Senate de-
bate turned on the exact words
used-whether Mr.. Beeson had
put in a resignation in a for
NAL sense. which, of course, he
had not as yet done.
But man who quits his job
three weeks before an appoint
ment and goes off the payroll
has a right to say he has "re-
signed" and has severed con-
nections. The De m o cratic
Senators, however. were un-
merciful in their attack. They
referred to the fact that Paul
Davies, the employer. had -tes-
tified-several days after the
appointment was announced
that he considered Mr.. Beeson
on ''leave of absence" This
was construed as a contradic-
ton. Yet Mr.. Davies had clear
ly explained that he did this
on his own without advising
Mr.. Beeson of how he had
himself decided to construe in
a technical sense the separa-
ton Of Mr.. Beeson from the
company's employ. But even
this was ignored by the Demo-
cratic senatorial group. who
refused to take the common
sense explanation that the
employer was adopting the
technical attitude necessary to
preserve an employees pension
rights and that there was no
purpose to impose any obliga-
ton whatsoever on Mr.. Beeson
to return to the company if he
desired not to do so.
The pages in the Congress
sional Record stand as a black
mark on those same Demo-
cratic Senators. who denounce
so-called "McCarthyism" one
day and embrace 1t enthusiast
tically another day for politi-
cal reasons. Senator Enowland,
Republican leader. realistically
said to the Senate:
How are we to get persons

AS chief Of staff to the for
mer Republican minority lead
er and the senior Republican
Senator, Mcleod was on
friendly terms with a large
number of Senators from Goth
sides. It was the idea of I'm
dersecretary Lourie, probably
Endorsed by Mr.. Dulles. that
Mcleod should be the "unof-
fetal liaison" with Mccarthy
to slow down, whenever pos
sible. his attacks on Foreign
Service and State Department
personnel.
Mcleod went to the State
Department preceded by a
reputation of being a tough
guy" which incidentally he is
not. His refusal to clear
Charles Bohlen for an ambas-
sadorship supported this touch
guy" myth. He became within
"A hours one of the most
controversial figures in WASH
ington and decided to resign.
He was urged to stay on for
the sake of party harmony by
people high in the Republican
hierarchy. such as Gen. Will
ton Persons, one of President
EiSenhower's assistants, and
a number Of Senators. But
from that day on he became,
in the eyes of some news
papers and commentators, a
devil with horns second only
to Senator Mccarthy.
Although operating directly
under control of Secretary
Dulles. he was accused of
having caused a disruption
Of morale of the Foreign Serv-
ice and State Department per-
sonnet. This accusation, I be-
lieve. was accepted as a fact by
his superiors who in the end
decided to shear him of his
limited jurisdiction over per-
sonnet without which security

on they produced three uuib-
bles on which they built their
attack. reversing their earlier
position.
What were Mr.. Beeson's So
called "falsehoods"? First. he
said he had resigned" or
severed" his connections with
his company. Anybody who
quits a job and. goes of the
payroll has resigned and has
severed his connections. But
the Democratic Senators in
sisted that Mr.. BeeSon lied be-
cause he informally used the
word resigned" Few persons
accused Of crime would ever
get q fair trial in America If
that kind of quibbling became
an integral part of the Ameri-
can system of justice.
The next so-calied false
hood" was with respect to
pension rights. Mr.. Beeson
said he had lost" those rights.
He meant. Of course. his future
pension rights If ne didn't go
back to the company. He
couldn't lose his past rights.
because the money reserved
for him in the pension fund
out Of his own past payments
and the money reserved for
him out of company contribu-
tons IN past years was in
the hands of an insurance
company trustee. The COM
pany had no control over the
spending Of those funds. But
the Democratic Senators in
sisted that Mr.. Beeson lied
when he said he lost his pen
sion rights and they claimed
he had a "pecuniary interest"
in his company when they dis
covered he would have money
coming to HIM later on. as is
the case with all accumulated
pensions.
