Facing The Communist Issue
CBy Maurice r. Franks, President

ment Foundation and Editor of its
official publication, PARTNERS.)
Americans who love this coun-
try and its institutions appreciate
the danger Of the Communist con-
spuacy and wish no stones left
untumed in exposing it. Ameri-
cans who are Americans will have
no truck with Communism and
want it's poisonous coral snakes re-
moved from our midst.
We viii not tolerate them in our
labor unions, in our business or
CARNATIONS. on the teaching staffs
Of our schools and colleges, or in
any other positions of public in
fluencc. We particularly will not
allow them to hang on to wires, to
pull them and to start things in
motion that start other things in
motion, and in the end, get re-
eponsible officers Of government to
chasing their own tails-and each
other instead Of tracking down
conspirators.
And, as Americans who respect
ourselves and the social system we
have sweated plenty of good salt
sweat to develop. we rate Com
munism's fcllow-travellers as not
one whit less dangerous. And to
us a fellow-traveller is a character
who won't, when the question is
put to him squarely, stand up ON
his own hind legs and shout to the
high heavens that he despises
Communism and its conspiracy
fully as much as we do.
This doesn't by any means indi-
cate that our hostility extends to

but they had both brains and
CUTS enough to recognize it before
1t was too Iate-and to come clean
with us about where they had been.
That being that, they now have
every right to enjoy our present
and continuous esteem.
Perhaps in an theological sense,
as well as in a religious, it is bet
ter to have been a sinner and re-

By Ted Keaasf

Spor smen in every state of
the Union have been demanding
to know what has happened to
the S35 million collected since the
origin Of the Duck Stamp in 1884
SO Sports Afield asked Clcvland
van Dresser to find out
He reports that the Fish and
Wildhfe Service has never spent
Duck Stamp funds in any way
that was not legal The Act clear
ly states that funds collected BY
the Duck Stamp tax are to be
used for acquisition. development
and maintenance Of waterfowl
refuge areas The Fish and Wild
life service did Just that but
did considerably more develop
ment and maintenance than ac-
quisition Never has the Service
spent Duck Stamp money on &C
quiring and developing any re-
fuge areas other than those di
rectly concerned with waterfowl.
GAS a matter Of fact. through
land transfers and other types
of purchases, the Service has
obtained a total of 2,l67 1926 acres
Of land suitable for waterfowl
management without spending
single cent of Duck Stamp mo-
ney.D
But the Service is in a difficult
situation. Whenever an admins
tration goes economy minded. the
first agencies TO receive cuts are
those dealing with our natural
resources. The present admins
tration is certainly no exception.
This year the Bureau Of the
Budget made cuts in refuge main
tenance. law enforcement and
wlldlife research; Congress made
more cuts. The Post office de-
par ment got into the act by
raising the price of printing Duck
Stamps from $50 900 to more
than Sl55 900.
Every time slash is handed
down to the fish and wildlife
Service, comes the recommnda-
ton. Take It out of Duck Stamp
money These recommendations
are endorsed by the Secretary of
the Interior, and amount to di-
rect orders
Sportsmen thought that Duck
Stamp money would be used as
an ertrd fund to buy and main
tain more refuge areas. But this
money had to be used to finance
activities that previously had
been paid for by Congressional
appropriations from the general
tax fund.
1t is absolutely impossible for
the Fish and Wildlife Service to
limit Duck Stamp money TO re-
fuge programs alone and still do
the other things 1t is supposed
to do.
The Fish and Wldlife Service,
on Duck Stamp money alone
simply can't follow the directives

The Army report quoted Conn
on several occasions as predicting
trouble for the Army unless Schine
received special treatment.
And 1t said that a meeting Jan.
q in McCarthy's apartment, TIE
senator several times said he dAd
not see why the Army could not

The report continued:
"Sen. Mccarthy pointed out that
the Army was walking into a long
range fight with Mr.. Cnhn and
that even If Mr.. Cohn resigned
or was fired from the committee
staff, he would carry On his cam

from outside Washington.
"Sen. Mccarthy suggested that
Mr.. Cohn, through the medium Of
connections with various news
paper elements, would begin get
ting published articles alleging
favoritism On the part Of the Army
In numerous other cases."
The report said that Coin was
told last October that the national
interest required that Schine be

and 1t added:
"Mr. Cotn replied THAT n tins

wrecked if Schine were giver

basic training.
Although Mccarthy was quoted
as telling officials repeatedly t.
treat Schine as it would any other
private, he was also pictured az
trying TO have the Army assign
him to the New York area. The
senator was quoted as suggesting
that Schine be assigned to check
West Point textbooks for subver.
Sive material.
The Army report, a sort Oh
diary, covered the period from
mid-July OF last year to Feb. 16,
1854, thus coming up to the eve
of a fierce conflict between Nc.
Carthy and Stevens over another
issue.
This was McCarthy's question

Inundated and abused. In the en-
suing uproar President Eisen1ow-
err denounced disregard for fair

Before the Army report on the
Schine matter was made available
by Senate sources last night,
Republican spokesman, asking MOI
to be quoted, had said they hoped
10 induce Mccarthy to ease Coin
out before Democratic members
Of the Investigations subcommittee
could make an issue Of the dis,
closures.
Mccarthy, however, said Cohr
was pretty much indispensable
to the subcommittee. And he said
before the contents of the report
became available, that he had sug.
gested in vain to Secretary of De.
tense Wilson and Asst. Secretary
Fred A. Seaton that they "ged
both sides" and not take only the
version of John G. Adams, coun.

case.
The senator said he plans Be
