J. Edgar Hoover. not to join organiza-

Fisher joined the National Lawyers
Guild in 1947 and remained q member
for three years-not few months as
Mr.. WEIGH stated.
If there are any scars on Mr.. Fisher,

Jerking. one-act play. uttered these

This has never been debatable

am slowly recovering from my
amazement at the astounding charge
Of the Attorney General Of the United
States in his pronouncement that
Senator Mccarthy "usurped" the re-
sponsibility of the President to enforce
"our laws and presidential orders"
Mr.. Brownell couples laws enacted
by Congress with presidential orders.
thereby inferring that the latter have
the full force and effect Of the former.
If SO, then the President, as well as the
Supreme Court. has uSurped the law
making power which the people have
delegated exclusively to Congress in
the Constitution. However. as matter
of fact, a presidential order is merely
an administrative directive, deemed
necessary by the President for the
proper operation of the executive
departments.
Old ReactiOnary.
Army tactics have prevailed. In
brief: Senator Mccarthy smokes out
an Army Communist, embarraSSeS
general, is about to expose more Com
munists when Secretary Stevens. with
his Job at stake, gives his backing to
trumped-up fake charges against Sen
ator Mccarthy and thereby starts
strategic diversion.
Now-inStead of the Army personnel
being thoroughly probed for aiding.
promoting and honorably discharg1ng
a known Communist, Senator McCar-
thy and his men are being questioned
like criminals.
For justice to prevail. Senator Nc
Carthy should be given unrestricted
opportunity to finish the job Of estab-
fishing who was responsible for Com
munist Peress' promotion. All Con-
gress should support him.

The attack on Mr.. Fisher, an inno-
cent byStander, is an exact copy OF
methods used by Communists when
cornered. It is deplorable that a man
as highly placed as the Junior Senator
from Wisconsin has no conjunction
about using his position to further his
personal interests and betray the public
trust by dragging us to new low in
our history. If the Senator believes he
has the support Of the public in these
actions, he is sadly mistaken. The
majority of the public is neither d1-
verted nor amused by his tactics.

After the devilish display of Senator
Mccarthy on Tuesday, one wonders
how a person of his caliber can sur
vive in the United States Senate. I
wept with Mr.. WEIGH, as am sure
many Americans did, at the shocking
spectacle of McCarthyism in action.

81 I was certainly shocked last Monday
when read the article by Dorothy
Thompson in which she compared
Senator Mccarthy, the men around
him, his methods of mass appeal, and
the national situation with the forces
that taken together produced Adolf
Hitler"
was not so surprised at Miss
THOMPSON for writing it, for sad to say
she has been slipping for long time
II was surprised that The Star would
print the article.
The offensive passage was in para
graph 9 which will not quote here.
Needless to say, there are great many
people who admire Senator Mccarthy,
and the printing of this article by The
Star certainly was offensive to them.

Senator Mccarthy is quite right. We
did see on June 9 just how low an al
legged man can sink. And the name OF
that alleged man was Mccarthy.
It was thoroughly deSpicable thing

there was a malicious and vicious Smirk

deed. Cohn, a smarter and more eau
tious man, bit his lip and shook his
head in dismay as Mccarthy so disas-
trouSly revealed himself.

On Wednesday, June 10, some 20 mil
lion TV viewers got f1rSt-hand view
of "McCarthyism." Even the most
hardened pro-McC arthyites discovered
that the term "McCarthyism" was real
and not just Pigment of the imagina-
ton of ex-President Truman.
