Wouldn't Spy for West,
Czech Says on Red Radio
BY the Assecioted Press


VIENNA, Sept. 30.-Commu-
mist Czechoslovakia today un-
yelled an alleged former en-
ploye of Radio Free Europe who
said he had been assigned to
return to Czechoslovakia as q
spy.
Bruno Folta, Unidentified as a
former Czech news announcer
for the privately financed, anti
Communist American network,
said on Prague radio he fed
his country in 1851. When he
returned on his espionage mis-
sion" via West Berlin. he said,
he was taken by remorse after
seeing the high standard of

senator on defensive.
There is no immediate way of
ascertaining Senator McCarthy's
vote appeal in Wisconsin-and
there will be none until he comes
up for reelection in 1858. But
the opinion was expressed by
one Republican leader today that
Senator Mccarthy would have
difficulty winning denomination
if he were running this fall, and
probably considerable difficulty
winning reelection.
One keen political observer
says Senator Mccarthy has fin
ally been placed on the defen-
sive-and that this would make
it difficult for him to survive po-
litically. One of the Democratic
leaders insisted that, after four
months campaigning. he had
found that Senator McCarthy's
name was rarely mentioned in
the farm areas he covered, and
that at political rallies, The audi
ences quickly turned their atten-
ton to economic problems, even
II the name of the Senator was
brought into discussions.
"Smokescreen" Charged.
Senator Mccarthy has his sup
porters among the newspapers
as well as his detractors. The
Milwaukee Sentinel, for example,
editorially declared that the
Watkins committee report is
mot a verdict: that there is
nothing final about the commit
tee action. It wound up saying
that the Flanders charges and
the Watkins investigation "have
been part of the smokescreen,
whether by design or not, but
certainly to the glee and salts
faction Of all the forces which
do not want to see the Commu-
mist conspiracy exposed and
rooted out"
The Chicago Tribune, which
circulates in Wisconsin, takes a
similar view of the Mccarthy
censure report. It said editori-
ally: There Is, a lot that is
impolite about Senator Mccarthy
but all this fuss about him would
not have occurred, in our opinion,
1t he had not been crusading
against communism. From the
time Of DR.. Writ and Representa-
tive Dies to this day, every effort
to expose the Communist con-
spiracy in America has been met
with abuse and obstruction, no
matter how gently the witnesses
were treated. The more deter
mined the investigator. the more
savage the abuse and the more
relentless the pursuit Of him."

John Roosevelt Joins
6. 0. P. Drive, but
Won't Fight Brothers

John Roosevelt. youngest son
OF the late President, said yester-
day that he will not campaign in
behalf Of a Republican Congress
for President Eisenhower in
areas where two Of his brothers
are running for public Office.
Mr.. Roosevelt told reporters
at a press conference held to
announce his acceptance as vice
chairman Of a National Citizens
for Eisenhower Congressional
Committee that he will not cam
paign in New York or Los An
geles. His brother. Franklin, jr.
is a candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket for attorney gen.
eral in New York State, and his
brother James is a Democratic
candidate for Congress in Cali
fornia.
Calls Voting Private.
Asked If he will vote for his
brother Franklin in New York,
he said voting is private
matter.
He said he considers it i'm
perative that President Eisen-
hover have a Republican Con-
gress to work with next year. He
said he plans to campaign for
this goal in Ohio, Illinois.
Michigan, Colorado. Maryland,
West Virginia.
"If President Eisenhower
doesn't have a Republican Con-
gress next year." he said, I'VE
will have chaos and politics run
wild"
Welcomed by Murphy.
James L. Murphy, chairman
OF the Eisenhower committee,
released a statement at the
press conference welcoming Mr..
Roosevelt Into the ranks of the
citizenry engaged in the fight
against creeping socialism, cor
ruption and super-centralized
government. :"
Both Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Roosevelt said they believed the
creeping socialism, corruption
and super-centralized govern
ment" developed under the Tru-
man administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that during
his fathers administration there
had been no charges of corrup-
ton in high Office and while

Nixon Sees Congress
Ruled by Left Wing
II Republicans Lose
by The Associated Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 3d.
Vice President Nixon says that
II the Republicans lose control
Of Congress in November. it will
be ruled by cleft wing" Demo-
cratic forces headed by 'tfree
men on a horse riding back
ward"
Mr.. Nixon, addressing a G. o. p
rally at nearby Averill Park last
night, lashed out at Adlai
Stevenson. unsuccessful Demo-
cratic candidate for President in
1852; Stephen A. Mitchell, DEM
ocratic national chairman, and
Senator Wayne Morse, Independ-
ent, Of Oregon.
why do I say riding back
ward?" he asked. Because from
Stevenson all we hear are quips
and criticisms: from Mitchell,
smear and fear: and from Morse
well. he just acts like Morse. "
Sees Republicans Ahead.
Mr.. Nixon, on a 33-State tour
to drum up Republican votes in
the forthcoming congressional
elections, told newsmen on his
arrival here that the G. o. p.
faces "an uphill fight" to retain
control of the House.
But he said Republican can
didates were running ahead in
nine of the 10 Senate races he
looked over during his tour.
Mr.. Nixon said that, while
Democratic Senator Hubert
Humphrey appeared to be lead
ing Republican Val Bjornson in
Minnesota, the G. o. P. was by
no means conceding the seat.
He said he was VERY much i'm
pressed" with Mr.. Bjornson's
campaign.
The Vice President also is
sued a standing invitation to
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to Join
the Republican administration

airport. has declined to run for
a fourth term and will leave the

TN my opinion" Mr.. Nixon
said. there is no position in the
Federal Government today that
Gov. Dewey could not handle
superbly."
He added that he knew of no
plans for Gov. Dewey to take a
Federal post.
Cites "New Climate"
Mr.. Nixon told an audience of
about 1000 Republicans that
there is a new climate in Wash
ington."
"This is an administration" !"
he said. that is cleaning up
and not covering up"
Mr.. Nixon asked the audience
to consider what would happen
II the Democrats rather than
the Republicans controlled the
next Congress"
Those calling the signals. he
said, would be the ADA (Amer-
leans for Democratic Action) left
wing elements who ruthlessly
ran the Chicago convention and
from whose ranks most of the
gains the Democrats make in
the House and Senate will in
evitably come"
He said Mr.. Stevenson. Mr.
Mitchell and Senator Morse were
united in their opposition to
President Eisenhower, in their
advocacy of the election of an
anti-Eisenhower Congress, in
their dedication to the philoso-
ply OF the ADA left wing of the
Democratic Party, and in their
desire to return to the policies

Cut Into G. O. p. Margin.
Maine Democrats elected a
Governor for the first time in 20
years. They also cut deep into
traditionally wide Republican
margins in congressional races.
Chief interest in Massachusetts
centers in the races for the gov
ernorship and a seat in the
United States Senate. Both now
are held by Republicans. The
G. Q. P. has an 8-6 edge in the
House of Representatives. A
Democratic leader would 60 no
further than to say his party
will make it TT this fall.

Congressman, Foster Furcolo.

Hit Trail Eearly.
Salty" as they call the SEN
ator in his home State, hit the
trail early. Campaigning through
the small towns, he often simply
stood on the sidewalk, chatting
with the citizens. He talked
mainly of his nearly 10-year Sen
ate record and the record of the
Eisenhower administration.
Before coming to the Senate
he was a three-term Governor.
He has a dry, down-east humor
and homespun manner that ap-
peals to Massachusetts, voters.

the present congressional and
gubernatorial campaign in Wis
consin. Second, there is no
clamor on the part of Republi-
can candidates for Senator Nc
Carthy to hurry back to the
State to deliver campaign
speeches for them. This does not
mean there are no candidates
who would welcome help from
Senator Mccarthy. Representa-
tive Kertsen of the 5th con-
gressional district, which takes
in part of Milwaukee, has been
a close political associate of
Senator Mccarthy, and the Sen
ator has support in that dis
trict. It is said he would look
with pleasure on Senator Nc
Carthy as a campaigner for him.
Governor Is Reticent.
Gov. Kohler, Republican, who
is running for a third term, has
made no comment on the Wat
kins' committee report-other
than to say he has not read it,
that he is tremendously busy
with his own campaign, and that
Senator Mccarthy is not an issue
in this present Republican,
Democratic fight.
So far, the Republican candi-
dates have been content, for the
most part, to let the Mccarthy
issue lie dormant. Democratic
candidates, including William
Proxmire, the candidate for
Governor, have been critical of
Senator Mccarthy, but more
particularly they have criticized
Gov. Kohler and other Republi-
can candidates for the support
they gave Mccarthy in his fight
for reelection in 1852.
Even so, the Democrats are
not attempting to make Senator
Mccarthy himself and "Mc-
Carthyism" major issues in their
own campaigns. They insist that
the voters are far more interest
ed in milk prices, unemployment,
unemployment and lower
farm prices generally than in
hearing any discussion of Sem
ator Mccarthy and his activities.
The impression they give is that
the voters have become fed up
with reading and hearing about
Senator Mccarthy.
Mccarthy Setback Seen.
Except by very staunch Nc
Carthy followers. the belief is ex-
pressed here that Senator Nc
Carthy has lost considerable
ground politically in his home
State. Some of the Republicans,
some Of the more objective OBJ
servers. and all of the Demo-
Gratis take this view. They con-
tend that the Army-McCar
hearings did the Senator no
good, as they were viewed by
thousands over television. A con-
siderable deterioration, so far as
Senator Mccarthy is concerned,
set in, they say, because of those
hearings. The Democrats point
out that very little has been said
about the relatively poor showing
Senator Mccarthy made in his
race for reelection in 1852. They
contend that, had President Eli
senhower not headed the Repub-
lican ticket that year, Senator
Mccarthy might have been de-
feated. In the 1852 election
General Eisenhower received 81
per cent Of the total vote and
Adlai Stevenson, his Democratic
opponent. 80 per cent; Gov.
Kohler received So per cent of
the total vote in the guberna-
torial contest and William Prox-
mire. Democrat, 38 per cent, and
in the Senate race Senator Nc
Carthy received only 81 per cent
to Is per cent for his Demo-
cratic opponent. To put it in
different form. Gen. Eisenhower

Mr.. Furcolo worked his way
through Yale and the Yale Law
School and still had time for the

resigned from a draft board after
Pearl Harbor, enlisted, and went

While in Washington, MIR. Fur

policy and advocated Federal
scholarships for college students.
He also devised what he called a
peoples lobby" a council COM
posed of his constituents with
whom he conferred.
Mr.. Furcolo is married and has
five children.
Early in the campaign, he
challenged Senator Saltonstall to
debate many issues, Including
labor, foreign policy and Senator
Mccarthy" He said the people
should know about Senator Sal
tonstall's failure to assume jur-
isdiction in Senator McCarthy's

Of Mccarthy versus the Army"
Senator Saltonstall did not re-
ply. Observers generally believe
neither party will inject Senator
Mccarthy further into the cam
paign in Massachusetts,.
Republican Gov. Christian A.
Herter was unopposed for re-
nomination. His Democratic
challenger is Robert F. Murphy,
a former Maiden newspaperman
and veteran of the State Legis-
lature. Va
Gov. Herter, who-like Senator
Saltoristall- comes from old line
New England stock, was elected
Governor In 1852 by 14,456 votes
out OF 100000. He pointed out
that three-fourths of the total
State vote was cast in towns and
cities with more than 5000 popu-
lation. In that bracket, he says,
he ran 100000 votes behind. But
he was 155, 900 ahead in commu-
mites Of less than 5000 people.
Hence, he says, IF there is in
difference in the small towns,
we're going to be licked this
time" ..
Wins on First Try.
Mr.. Murphy won the Demo-
cratic nomination in his first try
at a Statewide Office. He had
the backing of the State conven-
ton. A rugged, energetic man,
he has been campaigning since
last April.
Both list economic conditions
in the State as the top issue of
their campaigns.
The Governor said he intends
to talk about job opportunities,
and his program to enlarge ex-
listing industries and bring new
ones into the State.
Mr.. Murphy asserts the people
are "fretful and worried" He
recently placed Massachusetts
unemployment at $1,000 and said
incomes have shrunk by reduce
ton of the work-week, frequent
shut-downs, particularly in the
Navy yards and the Watertown
arsenal, and loss of overtime
everywhere.
Small Eisenhower Role Seen.
Gov. Herter said he did not
believe President Eisenhower or
national policies would play a
great part in the State election.
Mr.. Murphy, disagreeing, says,
look at the large number of
Massachusetts, Republicans who
are holding important jobs in
Washington. The people are
certainly going to ask what they
have done for the State"
