LONDON, Mar. 4.-American
Evangelist Billy Graham said
last night he is amazed at the
stupendous success" of his reli-
gious crusade in London.
The. 12,O0O-seat auditorium of
Harringay Arena has been
packed despite bad weather
since he opened his revival
meetings Monday night.
1T is more, much more than
we anticipated" Mr.. Graham

All the statements from the

In dealing with Communists
and all the comments by the
critics Of Senator Mccarthy
cannot erase the simple fact
that DR.. Irving PeresS, known
to the Army as a Communist.
was promoted to be a major
and received from the United
States Army a certificate of
honorable service. He received
that certificate despite the fact
that he refused to tell his own
Government the full facts
about his behavior during his
period of service in the Army.
Thus have red tape and Army
negligence been responsible
once more for one of the tragic
distortions of American honor.
For it is military red tape
which has kept all the facts
from being known as to why
the proper orders were not
transmitted promptly enough
so as to alert our military
forces at Pearl Harbor on De-
cember z, 1941. Why we're the
requests of Admiral Kimmel
and Gen. Short for a court

It is Army red tape which to
this day keeps all the facts
from being known as to why
the anguished appeal of Gen.
Van Fleet for ammunition to
supply our troops in Korea was
disregarded and who were the
persons responsible.
It is Army red tape which to
this day prevents a congress

Lowell MeNett-
Correction Due From President
1t Was He Who First Spread Misleading Figure Alleged
Subversves in Government, Now Officially Discounted

It may be that the President
could not have said any more
than he did at his press con-
ference yesterday. It was not
really to be expected that he
would get tough with McCar-
thy. That would have pleased
an enormous number of peo-
pie, but it is doubtful that it
would have accomplished
much more than that. On the
other hand, he would have
risked offending Congress, the
equal and separate branch Of
Government which alone has
the power to discipline the Wis
consin political terrorist, and
would have made less likely
any corrective action within
that body. He probably went as
far as he could go when he
intimated the need for i'm
proved procedures on the part
of investigating committees,
basing this on his desire that
the personnel of the executive
departments be treated with
proper courtesy. Such Is the
delicate relationship between
the White House and the Hill.
But there is one thing in
this same general field that
the President. has full power
to do and a duty to do. That
is the obliteration Of McCar-
thyisrn within his own branch
Of the Government. It may be
a duty too painful to contem-
plate, for it involves a confess
sion of guilt, his own personal
guilt and the guilt of several
members of his official family.
