Fronts for Red Fronts
Set Up TO Foil Alien
Act, Senate Aide Says
By l. Edgar Primo

A special counsel of the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
says that the Communist Party
has set up fronts in front OF
Communist fronts in an effort to
destroy the Mccarran Immigra-
ton and Nationality Act.
Richard Arens Of the subcon-
mittee made this observation IN
the form of q question put to
Abner Green, executive secre-
tary of the American Committee
for Protection of Foreign Born,
an organization cited by the
Attorney General as subversive.
Mr.. Green's testimony taken
in executive session June ~,
was made public today.
Mr.. Arens tried many APP
proaches, but Mr.. Green TOOK
refuge in the fifth amendment
to all significant questions on
Communist activities.
Refuses Answer.
"You and other Communists
formed the National Committee
to Repeal the McCarran Acts as
a front for dupes and do-gooders
in the country to come along
with the Communist Party line
to destroy these acts. isn't that
true?" the counsel asked.
Mr.. Green replied that to an
swer the question truthfully
might incriminate him. Mr..
Arens persisted:
1.-THE American Committee Tor
Protection of Foreign Born and
the Communist Party are also
organizing fronts in front OF the
fronts, are they not, in order
to repeal or emasculate with
weakening amendments this I'M
migration and Nationality Act?"
Again, Mr.. Green claimed his
constitutional privilege.
Mr.. Green would not acknowl-
edge any connection with the
Committee for Protection OF For
eign Born, though it's literature
bears his name as executive d.
rector and though he was served
with a subpoena at the commit
tees offices.
Opposes, McCarran Act.
Mr.. Green did testify that he
was opposed to the provisions of
the McCarran Act which in the
subcommittee words protect
this country from the influx of
Communists, saboteurs and espio-
mage agents" He said the law
discriminates against Commu-
niSts.
At the end of the hearings,
Senator Welker, Republican, of
Idaho, said he was "astounded"
at the bulk of propaganda ma
terial introduced into the record.
Mr.. Arens replied that 1t was
only sampling of Red literature
being spread all over the United
States "by Communist organi-
cations, by Communist fronts.
and by Communist-front fronts
which are being organized to de-
stroy the immigration and Ma
tiona1ity Act by such persons as
the witness who Is currently be-
fore u.s."

Q PKOr ERrY Sci TLEMENI

Upon granting divorce, the
court is required to distribute Sc
parate and community property to
one or the other of the spouses as
is Just and equitable
If. through failure of the parties
to bring their property to the at
tention of the court, or ignorance
of the parties of the existence of
the property. the court makes no
division, the parties are tenants
in common to the former commu-
nifty property. Each has an undi-
vided interest in it. Such arran-
cement is rather unsatisfactory
for divorced couples who later
may not wish to join together for
the purpose of sale, protection,
renting or care of the property.
In a divorce action, the judge is
required to make suitable provi-
sion for the support of the minor
children of the parties. having due
consideration for their needs and
ability of the parties to support
them.
BY virtue of the powers of pro-
perty distribution in a divorce, the
court can take the separate pro-
perty of one spouse and give it to
the other spouse. That is a rather
unusual grant of authority, which
means that by the act of maria
ge, the property previously earned
or owned by one spouse or that he
or she acquired after marriage by
gift, inheritance, etc. is actually
subject to the possibility of being
given to the other spouse
Divorce DEGREES usually provide
for the payment of debts, frequent
ly by the husband Such order, of
course, does not bind the creditors
who are not parties to the divorce
action and whose right to hold
both parties cannot be changed by
the decree. Consequently. if the
wife has been personally liable be-
for the divorce the creditors may
still force payment from her. and
she in turn may be able to collect
from her former husband, but
meanwhile must pay the creditors
