They indicate clearly that any
time anybody wants to investigate
or prosecute them now their
haraSsers can be labelled as war;
mongers.
They have stepped up their
distribution of pamphlets on the
theory that the millions who
watched Mr.. Khrushchev on tele-
vision will be favorably disposed
to reading more about Communist
theology.
From the American Commu-
mist point of view, the timing of
the Khrushchev visit couldn't
have been better. Communist
strongholds across the Nation
were on the eve of celebrating the
10th anniversary of the Commu-
mist Party.
The leaflet advertising the cele-
bration in Los Angeles on October
10 tied it to Mr.. Khrushchev this
way:
Events bf the last few weeks
highlight the purpose of the cele-
bration of the 40th anniversary
Of the Communist Party of the
United States. The visit of Premier
Khrushchev has opened an era
where the struggle for peace may
result in the abolition of war and
the arms race. New millions have
seen and heard the explanation of
socialism and its goals for social
progress In one sector of the
world"
Gus Hall Speech
The leaflet went on to promise
that the anniversary celebration
would "asSess the movement for
socialism and peace in our coun-
try" and would present the Com
munist Party's program "for
united activity of the people
against the monopolists who stand
In the way of peace, democracy
and security for all"

Khrushchev Visit |nvigorates U.S. Reds
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
star stan Writer


Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
American comrades" have par
layed his visit into an ambitious
recruiting campaign for the Com
munist Party, United States Of
America.
Before he was even out of the
country, the party faithful were
getting the word to capitalize on
his visit with drives for new mem
bers and efforts to get former
members back into the fold.
The day after Khrushchev left
California, for instance, the
states party headquarters noti-
fed the individual Communist
clubs or cells that they were each
expected to produce a certain
quota of new members within the
next go days.
Speeches by top functionAries of
the party, leaflets announcing
meetings, editorials in THE
Worker" all sound the same note
that Khrushchev promises peace
in the world and that's what the
American people want.
The rank-and-file have been
told to carry the Khrushchev
message and what it means to the
world into churches, clubs, union
halls and to come out with
sympathizers. If they can't get
new members, they can at least
strive for fellow travellers.
American Communist leaders
give the impression that the
Khrushchev visit has been a tre-
mendouS boost to their morale.
They consider that his courteous
American reception-which they
view as warmly enthusiastic
gives the Communist Party in
America a new air of respectable
ity and legality.

Stewart Quiz
Stirs Debate
Query on Ruling
By Court Hit

Supreme Court Justice Pot
ter Stewart told the Senate
Judiciary Committee today he
agreed "basically" with the
tribunals 1854 decision against
school segregation.
But a committee hassle de-
veloped when he hesitated to
say whether he agreed with
the premise. reasoning, logic,
and philosophy of that ruling.
The question asked by Sem
ator Mcclellan. Democrat Of
Arkansas. caused Senator
Hennings. Democrat of Mis-
souri,. to raise a point of order
that such queries about spe-
ciflc Supreme Court cases were
improper In questioning a NOM
inee for the high court.
Point Overruled
Committee Chairman East
land, Democrat OF Mississippi,
overruled that point Of order
and Senator Hennings APP
pealed. But as a committee
vote was about to be taken on
the issue. the Missouri Senator
withdrew his appeal when as
sured that Justice Stewart
should not be compelled to an
swer questions he thought
might "tie him up" as a justice
in future cases.
Although Justice Stewart
was given a recess appointment
to the Supreme Court last Oc-
tober by President. Eisenhower
and his formal nomination SUBJ
mitted to the Senate last jan
uary. the judiciary Commit
tee only today got around to
a hearing on the question of
confirmation. The 44-year old
jurist is a former judge on the
United States Court of APP
peals in Cincinnati. Ohio.
/ When Senator Mcclellan
asked Justice Stewart whether
he agreed with the 1854 deci-
sion. the nominee replied:
"Basically, the answer is yes. /"
He added that he could not
give a yes or no answer as to
whether he agreed with all the
f"nicetieS" of that decision or
whether he concurred COM
pletely in the reasoning and
philosophy behind it.
He explained that his only
direct knowledge OF that deei-
sion came from a reading Of
the Supreme Court opinion it,
self and not from a detailed
study of the records in the sew
eral cases involved in that de-
ciSion.
But the basic decision did
not shock me or seem neces-
sarily wrong to me-"
Hennings Protests
When Senator Hennings pro-
tested against inquiring into
the nominees opinion on spe-
ciflc Supreme Court decisions
and the reasoning behind any
decisions, Chairman Eastland
declared that a ban on such
questions would amount to a
gag" on Senators who have a
duty to determine the quail
fications Of a nominee for the

Senator Kefauver, Democrat
of Tennessee, sided with Sena-
tor Hennings, as did several
other committee members from
States outside of the South.

ever. that he believed commit
tee members should be given
the greatest latitude in asking
questions and that it should be
