"Smear Tactics" Charged
The committee said it had
concluded after examining a

mony that she "chose her words
in such q way as to create in
the public mind q clear and I'M
mistakable impression that

and unsubstantiated. She used
smear tactics to discuss local
affairs before q Federal body.
She implied subversive activity
in the school administration"
A printed statement which
the committee said was a copy
Of Mrs. Lanes testimony, was
distributed by the schools COM
mittee at the meeting. In it,
she is quoted as commenting
on how to recognize commu-
nism in schools. Among the
points attributed to Mrs. Lane
IN the statement are textbooks

FORGOTTEN Remembered

1t is noteworthy that Congress,
while voting pay benefits for civilian
and military personnel, has not forgot
ten those forgotten veterans" of the
civil service, the 100000 retired Federal
employees. The retired workers, hard hit
by the rising cost of living, had been too
long neglected at the Capitol. Many of
them have been waging losing fight
to keep abreast of inflationary prices.
Relief was overdue.
The legislation sent to the White
House will give these former public serv-
ants 10 per cent increase in annuities.
Moreover, Congress has dispensed with
the $4,104 ceiling on extra benefits, so
that all annuitantS will be eligible for
the increases. And the widows and
widoWers of retireeS who died prior to
February 20, 1948, will-for the first
time-be granted annuities not in excess
of $3.50 year. Although the admins
tration, for budgetary reasons, had not
favored the annuity raise, the President
can hardly refuse to sign the bill now
in view of the benefits already voted
active personnel of the civilian and
military departments.

Peace Referendum

Let's all get behind Rep

give the people the oppor-
tunity to vote for peace or
war by referendum. On May

House Resolution 584 calling
upon the President to pro-
pose to the Soviet Union that
before either of our two
countries takes military &C
ton beyond our borders, OUT
side the context of the United
Nations, the Soviet and
American people be given the
opportunity to vote on the
issues involved. If this OPP
portunity were given to the
people there would be no war
between our two countries.
All of us have a duty to
our consciences. to our fam
lilies, and to society and hui
mainly as a whole to do all
within our power to make
the world a better place in
which to live. l urge you to
write to your Congressman,
Senators. and the President
of the United States in sup
port of H. Res. 584, which
may be just one step toward
bringing the peoples of the
world closer together.
