HATE MONGERS LOSING
There have been in the past, and
there will continue to be in the flu
your diversity and make attempts
to divide us. Through their sland-
ers and deceits they create suspicion
and distrust They distort your be-
neficial diversity and try to make it
look subversive and alien. These
people hope o convince others that
to be different is to be alien But
the hate-mongers, I believe deeply

all of us-all AmericanS-cannot
win the war for TRUE brotherhood
unless we are willing to stand up

courage to be courageous and speak

In these days when suspicion and
diStruSt are running amuck like
some angry, ugly political Katzen-
TANNER Kids, we must act with
strength and stop the clamor and
restore order to our political and
our moral house We cannot permit
recklessncss and responsibility to
go unchallenged Because we are
reflective, we cannot become timid;

other voices must not remain silent
We cannot win the cold war against
communism and wind up with a

speech deals with minority groups
1t is with a sense of deep appre-
citation that 1 appear here tonight
This, your 18th Biennial National
Convention, is of great Importance
to all of your delegates and 1 feel
flattered that you have asked me to
appear before you as guest speaker
However, the truth is that there are
areas of human relations that inte-
rest me deeply, and one of these a
reas concerns So-called minority
groups, and so I feel particularly
grateful that you have asked me to
speak on one of my favorite sub
jects.
In my own experience l have
special feeling about the Japanese
Amrican. This special interest was
demonstrated in picture I worked
on with Robert Pirosh which some
of you may have seen called GO
FOR BROKE, and more recently I
have finished film entitled BAD
DAY AT BLACK ROCK, which has
as one of its central themes the fic-
tiOnal murder of japanese Anne
rican which symbolizes the hysteria
that was felt here in late 1941
Much has been said and will be
said in the future concerning the
role of minority groups in American
life and the problems they face. A
merica has functioned always as an
inter- group society, and as we move
along the path of better understand
ing and as we eradicate the obsta-
Giles OF prejudice and ignorance,
there is debate concerning whether
it is wise to continue the identified
ton of minority groups as such
OVER SIMPLIIED TRUTH
1t is argued that it is a mistake
to refer to groups as Japanese-Am-
erican or riSh-American or jewish
American because, after all we are
all Americans. This, of course, is an
er-simplified truth that has some
dangerous shoals. 1t seems to me
that America has remained strong
and triumphant because it has con-
tanned in its society the Individual
ity Of many of its citizens and many
of is groups, while at the same time
establishing a common bond of A
mericanism. Part of Americas
strength is the individual contribu-
ton that groups have made, as
groups, to the American scene, and
l do not believe that the solution to
any remaining problems is based on
the theory that all of us should be-
come standardized into some compo-
site picture of what one particular
group may call American.
l believe that the pressures of
group movements act well on the
body polite of America. l believe
it is healthy for persOnalized
group to state its detectives or to
clarity its sensitivities or to make
heard its special problems think
there is much better opportunity
for true understanding if our vari-
Gus groups retain some identity with
the lands of their origin or with the
basic tenets of their diverse religi-
Gus faiths

MOTIVATION VITAL
Some years ago a Judge Wyzan-
ski pointed out that one of the great
American characteristics was its in

This concept is one we would all do
we'll to keep in mind AS 1 have in
dicated, I do not believe in the stan
darized man from any point of view
political, religious. social or philo-
sophical. I believe that the stand
ardized man diminishes in mind
and in size. 1 believe that the in
curing man and the man who does
not become standardized becomes
larger
ii a man wishes to be underStan-
ding. he must seek informa ton, and
as he seeks information his under

begin to realize that no one group
of people is standardized and that
only evil ideas are standardized. We
learn how to oppose ideas without
necessarily opposing people as
groups. We then come to the final
conclusion that we can hate ideas
without people.
There is much said about the bro
therhood of man, and while a good
deal of effort is being Used to ac-
complish this good and happy state
there is much yet to be done There
is too much of lip service and not
enough of actual devotion In the
field of human relationships it
seems to me that in order to make

must give it The same faith and the

French Keep Up Attacks
On Indo- Chinese Reds
BY the Associated Press

HANOI. Indo-China. Feb. Is.
French and Wet Namese
troops kept trying today to wipe
out Wet Mini forces infesting
the key Red River delta of north
Indo-C China. The French claimed
10 rebels killed and 50 captured.
The French estimate that
some $4,000 regular, regional
and guerrilla fighters of the
Communicated Wet Mimi are
harasing their thickly populated
rice growing section around
Hanoi and the port of Haiphong.
Ambushes and haraSsing at
tacks by the Wet Mini were re-
ported from other delta sectors,
with "some losses" on both sides.

Gold Trial Witness
Describes How Reds
Train ReyoIutionaries
By Howard [. Dutkin

.
An insight into workings of
the Communist underground
was given today by a Govern
ment witness at the trial of Ben
Gold, president of the Interna-
tional Fur and Leather Workers
Union, charged with. lying in a
non Communist affidavit under
the Taft Hartley Act.
The witness, John Hladun. AZ,
a native of the Ukraine now liv-
ing in Canada. described how he
attended the Lenin Institute in
Moscow in 1880. The institute.
he said. was a school for Com
munist revolutionaries from diff
ferent countries.
Two Levels Described.
Gold was a student there in
1880. Mr.. Hladun testified. He
said the Communist organization
is set up on two levels. One. the
visible" section, he said, is will
ingly exposed and participates
openly in strikes, elections and
similar matters.
But, he said, there is an "in-
visible" section, the membership
Of which is kept secret. This
section, the witness declared.
stands ready to take over if the
visible organization is broken up
through governmental action.
Gold is charged with lying in
the AFFIDAVIT fled August 80, 1850.
He is on trial in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Column
bia.
His attorneys. Vito Marcan-
tonic and David Rein. have as
serted that Gold had quit the
party when he signed the at
fidavit.
Government witness Hladun
said he had been a Communist
Party member from 1927 to 1888.
Communist Party Appendage.
The Lenin school, he said.
was an "appendage' OF, the Rus
sian Communist Party, and stu
dents came from all parts Of the
world.
The instructors. he said, in
cluded a large number of top
ranking Soviet military leaders,
and the students were told Rus
STA was at war with all capital
istic countries.
Either one system or the
other has to 60 down." Mr..
Hladun testified the students
were told. He said they were
Informed they were there Ito
make sure that, when the final
clash comes, we tthe SovietS)
are to be victors."
The witness declared that
among the maps studied with a
view to pin pointing vital centers
to be attacked in a revolutionary
upheaval were those of New York,
Pittsburgh. Gary. Ind; Detroit
and Sault Ste. Marie. Mich.
In reply to a question from
Prosecutor Joseph Lowther. the
witness declared "the teaching
in the school was based on a
general party understanding
that in no case can a member
of the party resign. He may be
thrown out, but he cannot re-
sign"

rection of Col. Mclaughlin, who
was senior officer present. The
colonel gave as another reason
for signing the hope that the
names of the prisoners would
get out and be published"
Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd, jr.,
commandant of the Marine
Corps, made the following state
ment in connection with awards
to five former prisoners for re-
sisting torture:
under no circumstances will
permit a Marine to be recon-
mended fol a decoration if there
is a shadow of doubt that his &C
tions were not Of exceptional
nature and in all respects in
keeping with our highest prin-
cipleS."
He said that one or more of
these criteria must be met TO
obtain an award: Outstanding
leadership Notwithstanding Com
muniSt punishment, rejection of
a Communist philosophy at great
risk of life. outstanding efforts
to alleviate personal persecution
of fellow prisoners. courageous
guidance of fellow prisoners in
escape attempts and moral and
physical courage that actively
encouraged others to resist Red
coercion.
Meanwhile. a Marine-Air
Force squabble was shaping up
over the desire of the court of
inquiry to call five Air Force per-
sonnet for questioning. All have

charges. The Air Force says it
has an inquiry of its own under
way-behind closed doors-leav-
ing the inference that the four
officers and enlisted men are not
available.

for Col. Schwable. said yesterday
that he would scream like a

Roosevelt Climate
NuIrsed Communism,
De Casper Declares
By The As.oeiaisd Pra,s

ROME. Feb. 25.-Former Pre-
mier Alcide de Gasperi said last
night that Italy is not entirely
to blame for failure to uproot
communism because "the evil
plant was born and pros
pered in the Roosevelt climate"
The 72-year-old leader of the
Christian Democrats, writing in
the party's magazine Discussions,
did not amplify what he meant
by Roosevelt climate. The state
ment sounded in line. however.
with the frequent charges of the
United States Republican Party
that Franklin A. Roosevelt was
too tolerant Of Communists and
Russia during his presidency.
The De. Gasperi government,
which held Office from the end
of World War II until last July,
was criticized from all sides when
it proposed outlawing commu-
nism, the former Premier said.
The article was the second
slightly acid one Mr.. De Gasperi
has written on recent American
pressure for Italy to crack down
harder on the Reds. Last month
he said America has inflated
fears about communism in Italy.
The present nliddle-road gov
eminent of Premier Mario Scel-
ba girded itself, meanwhile. for
a crucial contest with its Oppo-
nents of both the far right and
left.
The Premier'S friends brushed
aside Communist claims today
that his pro-Western coalition is
weakening in the face of show
down Senate vote on his pro-
gram. The informantS pre-
dicted that Mr.. Scelba will win
the vote of confidence, expected
tomorrow. by about 10 votes.
Despite his wavering majority.
Mr.. Scelba already is planning
to get his government program
in full swing quickly. If all goes
we'll in the Senate, debate will
shift to the Chamber of Depu-
ties early next week.
A confidence vote in the
Chamber also is necessary before
the government will be fully ap-
proved and ready for action.

Ninth street. The other was a
tempo built in 1917 on a triangle
near the new Interior Depart
ment Building. The late Inte-
rior Secretary Harold Ickes had
that one torn down to improve
his view.
After World War II, tempo
rary bridge connecting the Navy
Department building on Consti-
tuition avenue with tempos back
on the Mall was removed. This
eyesore passed over the Lincoln
Memorial Rejecting Pool.
A section of another tempo
was removed about that same
time. This section had begun
to sag badly and was removed
for safety reasons. The rest of
the building still stands near the
National Guard Armory.

'Now. however, we have been
able to forsee rather definitely
the availability of enough Gov
ernment-owned space to enable
us to remove this eyesore so
close to the Executive Mansion"
Last September it was esti-
mated that it would cost 5000
million to construct new Fed
eral buildings to house the ap-
proximately $4,000 workers in
temporary buildings. This
amounts to some 10 new build
ingS.
The last time any temporary
buildings were torn down in
Washington was in 1887. Two
came down that year.
One was tempo built in 1917
on the Mall, south of Constitu-
ton avenue between Seventh and
