it, or name his choice as Team

Blow to Government
The acquittal which climaxed

publican of New York, said he
felt the verdict was "a mis-
carriage of justice"
Committee Counsel Robert

was going ahead with "our
investigation of Hoffa." Sem
ator Mcclellan said Mr.. Hoffas
name will figure in the COM

the fact 1t was not until last
week that Mr.. Pearson admitted
that Mr.. Norman. as q student,
associated quite openly in uni
versity circles with persons who
were thought to be Communists

piecemeal. thereby leaving the
impression that the public is
to be told only what, in the
opinion of the cabinet, 1t Is good
fnY- II IN ry,ou
1T would have been far better
to have begun when the charges
first cropped UP in 1881 by stat
ing that Mr.. Norman did indeed
have these associations in his
early years. but that the govern
ment, after double security
check, was satisfied that they
had no Importance. AS things
now are, people are left with the
notion. erroneous though 1t may
be, that there was. or perhaps
even that there is, something to
hide"
"Appeasement" Charged
The Toronto Globe and Mail
said the suspicion is widespread
that Mr.. Parsons department
has a heavy share Of the respon-
sibility-that it did not defend
Mr.. Norman soon enough or Wig
orously enough.
Had he published the results
of his investigation to Parla-
ment an dthe nation in 1851 ;.
and nailed the lies specifically
one by one" the newspaper said.
1T is quite possible that the
slanderers would have been de-
TERED from pursuing the subject
further.
"One cannot avoid the suspi-
cion that In this instance a dis
tinguished public servant fell
victim to the st. Laurent govern
ment's policy of appeaSing the

better coordination. Then they are given the first
exercises that will develop the nerve centers in
their finger tips
I'VE help them learn self-reliance" Mrs.
Maginnis says AT the same time, we give them
