a report from a secret agent Of
an important Government Sc
curity Service-it is not Speci-
fed whether American or
Canadian-the FBI learned in
February 1910 that Norman
was a member of the Com
munist Party of Canada.
Also in February 1912 Nor
man approached the FBI in
Boston on behalf of his close
friend Tsuru Shigeto. Japanese
instructor at Harvard, who had
been informed. Norman wanted
to get custody of some of
Shigeto's papers and told the
FBI he was on official and
highly confidential business for
the Canadian government. Not
long afterw wards, Norman
changed his story and told the
FBI 1t was only a personal in
terest on his part and that he
was not representing the Ca
madam government. Tsuru
Shigeto admitted recently in
testimony before the Senate
subcommittee that he had
Communist associations but
said he was not a member of
the Communist Party. His
papers, however. convinced the
authorities here that he was
strongly sympathetic at the
time to the Communist cause.
He now says that he is
ashamed Of those Communist
associations.
Norman. in l946, was in the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES corps at
MacArthur's headquarters in
Tokyo representing the Cana
dian government. The FBI
was informed that he was re-
called from Japan on the
advice of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police who discovered
certain Communist connec-
tons on the part of Norman.
He was linked with Israel
Halperin. a Canadian Of Rus
sian parentage who was one
of the principals implicated
in the exposed Soviet mill
tary intelligence operations in
Canada as disclosed through
the detection of Igor Gou-
zenko.
There we're other factors in
the background and Counsel
Robert Morris read to the Sen
ate subcommittee on March
IL last a paraphrase of one
of the reports of a United
States security agency dealing
with those aspects. Mr.. Morris
then added to the record this
very significant remark:
This is all in connection
with an inquiry that there was
an effort being made to have
Norman given the assignment
of being a liaison between
Canada and the United States
intelligence"
This raised some interesting
questions for the Senate sub
committee:
/. Who inside the American
Government was sponsoring
such a set-up in 1850 just after
the Korean War began?
2. What blocked it and what
part did a letter from the FBI
to the United States Army In
telligence play in preventing
Norman from getting into such
a key post in the United
States?
8. Isn't it the duty of a
congressional committee to in
vestigate administrative weak
nesses which occur inside our
Government here and with
which suspected persons from
abroad make contact?

DAVID LAWRENCE

Many Canadians are having
second thoughts about the case
Of E. Herbert Norman, Cana
dian Ambassador to Cairo who
committed suicide recently. At
first the charges that Norman
had Communist connections
were vehemently denounced as
Islander" and it was an
nounced at Ottawa that the
Canadian government had
cleared" Norman in 1851. In
deed, a note of protest was sent
to the United States Govern
ment a few days ago deprecat-
ing the hearings of the Senate
Subcommittee on Internal Sc
curity which had revealed
some "derogatory information"
about Norman.
Now it turns out that there
is a great deal of doubt as to
what was really covered by the
Canadian governments denial
as uttered by Lester Pearson.
Secretary of State for External
Affairs, and the mystery is as
big as ever.
Last Friday certain queS-
tons were put to Mr.. Pearson
in the House Of Commons at
Ottawa but for some unex-
planned reason what was said
there was not transmitted very
fully by the press services or
else it was ignored on Satur-
day by those Eastern news
papers hereabouts which have
been denouncing the State De-
partment and the Senate sub
committee.
For it develops that despite
the early dispatches saying the
Canadian government had
found the charges against
Norman to be baseless. and
despite the later revelation by
Mr.. Pearson that Norman had
had certain Communist asso-
Citations" the Canadian Sec
rotary of State refused to
answer last Friday a direct
question on this point by John
Diefenbaker, the leader of the
Progressive Conservative" OPP
position. Here was the ques-
ton:
will the Minister say that
the allegations before the SUBJ
committee Of the United States
Senate on March IL and 81
specifically were untrue, un-
justified and had no basis in
fact?"
Mr.. Pearson in his speech
dealt only with Norman's as
sociationS with Communists
in his student days at Column
bia. But he added that as a
result Of a security checkup
on Norman and a personal
examination of the reports the
government was left in 1851
with no doubt as to the loyalty
of Norman and his suitability
for important posts.
Notwithstanding this. Mr..
Diefenbaker challenged Mr..
Pearson to answer the question
he had propounded and re-
peated it. demanding to know if
the Senate subcommittee
charges were untrue. unjusti-
fed and had no basis in fact. :"
Mr.. Pearson, however. said
he had made his statement
and would stand upon it. Mr..
Diefenbaker retorted that "the
answer is an equivocal one"
and went on to say that Mr..
Pearson had not denied the
charges of the Senate sub
committee.
What were those charges? In

Eisenhower Enjoying Rare Immunity;
Reaction to Goldwoter's Attack Is Mild

To anyone who has watched
a number Of Presidents here
from a front-row seat, the lat
est news conference Of our cur
rent Chief Executive offered a
most interesting aspect that is
easily overlooked.
1t was simply this-one of
the questioners brought up the
fact that. UP until very re-
Gently, President Eisenhower
had escaped criticism almost
entirely. The inquisitor wanted
to know. now that criticism is
beginning. how the President
felt about it.
This brought into the open.
and for the first time in these
news sessions, what often is
noted by anyone who has seen
other Presidents come and go.
1t dramatized just how unique
has been the Eisenhower ex-
perience and how much of a
contrast it Is to the ordeal Of
most any other President, all
the way back. that you can
name.
In fact, you have to go no
further back than his two
Democratic predecessors.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Harry S. Truman. and you
could include the one before
that, the last Republican Pres
ident before Mr.. Eisenhower,
meaning Herbert Hoover.
Those three were pilloried
day after day. and at times
almost numerically. and not
only by the opposite political
party, but by newspapers and
magazines. President Essen
hover has been spared any
thing Of that sort. He has en-
joyed an immunity from criti-
cism that is rare in our demo-
cratic society,
To the suggestion that he
has been protected by his staff
from finding out about criti-
cism because of its possible ef-
feet on his health. he pleaded
however, that he is unaware OF
anything of that sort.
He said he felt criticism of
public officials was a good
thing. though adding with a
grin that this did not mean
he always agreed with what is
said about him. Nor has criti-
cism hurt his health, he added

posed in the last few weeks

The mornings are too quiet around our house now.
Several weeks ago We had bedam with Annis
Lillian and Billy Jr, plus their friends, romping in and
out the door demanding something or to drink,
wanting To know whore this doll that pistol was
fussing and fighting because or the other wouldn't
snare toys.
Then Anns Lillian went off to Glenwood School.
and Billy Jr stayed home
He was lonely at first. and We were continually
asked to let him out the door let him in the door, give
him a cookie pour him some orange juice. When he
wasn't under feet became suspicious to what
he might be up to among Annis Lillian's cherished
toys whether he putting modelling clay in her tea
pot spout grinding crayons chalk in her toy meat
chopper. When he in the back yard walked to
the window every ten minutes TO if he had
dered off into the woods filling up the tile drain
pipe with gravel and sand and sticks.
Then, Tuesday morning of this week Billy Jr.
went off to the Little Red Schoohouse, leaving the
Missus and at home alone. Facetiously, had said

called to tell US to and get him if she couldn't
do anything with him.
But, honestly, wanted to be home to share the
loneliness with the Missus Because, have no chill

Fletcher, to Mrs Cook to other children whose names
don't know, to the world. Already they're
developing neH oyalties.
Of course well still be loved by them But already

Yes, it's too quiet around our house now As one

known that the ripenng moved from south
To north. We just hadn't thought about it. We
used to hearing about Georgia peaches and Of
North Carolina peaches (Which make OF
the largest peach crops in the counry) that it had
occurred to that peaches grown in north
states.
The Columbia Encyclopedia says peaches "are
widely cultivated in the United States for example in
California Georgia, Michigan Arkansas North and
South Carolina Pennsylvania, and Texas" That "fOr
example" that these are only some not all, Of
the peach growing states Notice that Florida Virginia.
Maryland Delaware and New Jersey are not mention
ed, yet surely the traveller through these states will
flnd at the night season, abundance Of peaches.
If they grow as far north Michigan don't see why
they shouldn't grow in every state in the Union Unless
maybe in the northern New England states the frost
Smltes before they have chance to ripen.
After had talked of peaches questioned Mr.
Fowler about apples. remembered that several years
ago told by our Qr0cers that some Of the apples
they sold me had come from far away Oregon and
Washington and that the nearest source was the Byrd
orchards in northwest Virginia. This despite the fact
that apples grown IN western North Carolina were
surpassed anywhere for appearance and flavor.
we used to get nothing but culls when we bought
North Carolina apples" said Mr. Fowler That was
because growers didn't grade their apples for the
market. But now they have grading system and we
can get plenty Of hRhqualty apples from North Caro-
lima orchards.'
Virginia is still an important sourceJof apples for
'hape ltlll as the season Later in the fall
the stores may be having to get apples from the
Pacific coast.
1t used to be that when was asked what my wish
was about the color of anything to be placed in our
home, curtains or linoleum anything else, would
answer Amy color you like, just so it's green" Year
after year was INDUCED in this taste In the
OF time began to realize that was being selfish in
debating our color scheme Now when am asked what
color want anything to be answer Anything you
say is all right with me-"
