partment until l949."

meyer wrote, based on his re-

Mr.. Arens gave the principal
address at the annual national
defense evening of the OAR S

which also featured preSenta-
tion of the society's award for
patriotic service to Gen. Albert
c. Wedemeyer, USA (retO.
Declaring that the Commu-
mist conspiracy in the United
States 'is today more deadly
and more powerful than in any
previous era of the country's
history" Mr.. Arens told the
OARS not to be misled by the
reduction in size of this for
NAL enemy" because of the
membership requirement to
register in the American Com
munist Party. Those that re-
main, he pointed out are
maintaining themselves as a
monolithic force in this coun-
try's most vital nerve centers." 4"
Describes Operations
Illustrating how actively
they are engaged in subversion,
Mr.. ArenS said American Com
munists sponsor radio pro-
grams, write articles for ma
tionally circulated magazines,
monitor top-secret messages
going out on Pentagon COM
munications lines and main
tain four Communist-controlled
union lobby groups in Wash
ington.
He deplored Defense De-
partment policy that docs not
preclude employment of Com
munistS provided they have
no access to secret files"
Another speaker of the eve
ming also called upon the OAR
to man the ramparts in this
theological war" Recalling
that yesterday marked the an
niversary of the Battle of Lex
ington, Mrs. Wilson K. Barnes,
chairman of the OAR national
defense committee. called on
OAR members to devote our
selves, our fortunes and our
sacred honor to the protection
and spread of the ideas of the
American Revolution which
proclaimed no coexistence with
tyranny"

Society.
Voting Proposal Hit
The Daughters also voted
today to call on Congress moi
to usurp the right of the States
by controlling voting within
their jurisdiction. The resolu-
ton noted that a congressional
amendment has been proposed
which would impose a reduced
voting age upon all States.
The anti-Communist daugh-
ter of Leo Tolstoy, the famed
Russian novelist. told the
Daughters of the American
Revolution today she favors
cultural exchange between the
United States and Russia, in
the face Of OAR opposition
to it.
THE wider the door is open
into the countries behind the
Iron Curtain the better" Alex
andra Tolstoy said.
Miss Tolstoy was not making
a point of diSagreeing with the
Daughters.
But where the OAR reSolu-
ton saw cultural exchange as
a weapon of Soviet psyche
logical warfare and espionage
the speaker saw it as a threat
to Russia instead.
Best Anti-Red Agents
She said the Russians sent
home some boys she tried to
talk to at the Soviet exhibition
in New York City last year,
apparently because they feared
the effect Of such contact on
the youths.
Miss TolStoy is a founder of
the Tolstoy Foundation. She
said the foundation has helped
reSettle 10000 people here.
THE refugees brought over
to this country are our best
agents of anti Communist
propaganda" she declared.
Miss Tolstoy told the OAR
she has always admired their
understanding of the danger of
communism, "the evil that can
destroy not only our freedom,
but the freedom of the entire
world" She is now an Ameri-
can citizen.

local and county candidates

Backed by Conservatives
Mr.. Morris, who finished
third in a three-way Senate
primary in 1858, got strong
conservative backing in his
campaign against Senator Case
Some G. o. P. leaders thought
he had a chance to score an
upset.
But Senator Case piled up
a quick lead in the returns
and won going away.
The liberal-conservative con-
test had drawn some attention
as a possible weathervane for

Mr.. Morris conceded his de-
feat at 1l:13 pm. long after
Senator Case had an insur-
mountable lead. He issued
this terse statement:
I'VE fought this campaign on
principles. We lost. We're going
to keep on fighting for the
same principles"
He refused to say whether he
would back Senator Case
against Mr.. Lord.
Senator Case, who spent q

ing into our churches, and yes,
into the halls of government,
declared Mrs. Barnes.
Hits COexistence
Mr.. ArenS also commented
on the Communist coexistence
theme, declaring that I'VE
can't coeXist with communism
any more than the human
body can co-eXist with cancer. "
The Communists "are win
ming and we are losing" Mr.,
Arens asserted, because the free
worlds leaders equate commu-
nism with being "a popularity
contest or a political opinion
instead of a deadly conspiracy
to destroy and conquer"
AS a typical case of this
thinking in this country, Mr.,
Arens cited the way a high Gov
ernment official reacted when
an exhibit of American art at
last summers Moscow Fair
came under fire.
When suspicion was cast upon
the alleged Communist activi-
ties of some Of the artists, Mr.
Arens quoted a"United States
Information Agency official as
having said I'VE are not con-
cerned with the political opin-
ions of the artists"
Criticizes USIA
Added Mr.. Arens: THE USIA
still doesn't know what a Com
munist is"
Mr.. ArenS was warmly ap-
plauded when he declared that
the invitation to Soviet Premier
Khrushchev to visit this coun-
try last fall was wrong
morally and tactically."
1t was wrong morally he said,
because "in our presumed
struggle with the international
Communist conspiracy, it en-
dowed with an aura of respect
ability a man identified with
movement of bloodshed and
conspiracy"
1t was wrong tactically, he
added. because it gave the ap-
pearance that our differences
can be solved with peripheral
agreements, when in fact it was
a betrayal of our secret allies
held in the bondage of this
conspiracy"

important and potentially most
damaging social crisis in his

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Can
high blood pressure be con-
trolled? I know many new
drugs have been discovered.
but do they really help?
Mr.. D.
MOST DOCTORS agree
that the majority of cases of
high blood pressure can be
controlled If discovered in
their early stages. But salts
factory treatment isn't a hit
or-miss affair. The doctors
job Is to make a complete
evaluation of your physical
condition. And the patients
job is to follow directions for
many years. Treating high
blood pressure is not a short
term proposition.
First, the doctor must rule
out the possibility of trouble
in the adrenal glands, or that
caused by a diseased kidney.
Such rare cases of hyperion
sion can be cured by opera
ton. But most cases of high
blood pressure fall into the
class called essential hyper
tension" eve don't know its
actual cause0 But we do
know what to do to help it.
: The patient should submit
himself for careful studies.
The doctor should examine
his eyegrounds (the back of
his eyes), to learn the condi-
ton of the smaller blood YES
sells. He should take tests to
evaluate the functional ca
pacity of the heart and kid
neys. Blood tests are i'm
portant for other informa-
ton.
Having constructed a basic
picture of the whole patient.
the doctor is now ready to
prescribe treatment. 1t is i'm
portant that you reduce If
you are overweight. That you
lessen. if possible. your job
tensions. That you stick to
your low sodium diet. That
you develop an optimistic
outlook.
Then came such drugs as
reSerpine, Observation-Disclosures
and hydralazine--given sing
ly or together, depending
upon the patients reaction
to these medicines. ! am
happy to say that medicine
has made tremendous ad-
vances in high blood pressure

Study Slated
On Pre-TriaI
Mental Tests

A permanent committee Of
the Districts judicial Confer
ence was set UP today to study
pre-trial mental examination
of those accused Of crimes
here.
In announcing his appoint
ment OF the standing commit
tee, Chief Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman Of the United States
Court Of Appeals said the group
will I'LL q gap that has existed
in research in this field.
The creation Of the 26-mem-
Der committee. which will be
headed by Sidney s. Sachs. a
former assistant United States
attorney, was decided upon last
spring at the annual meeting
of the judicial Conference.
The conference expressed a
desire that private funds and
facilities be applied to help the
research of the committee,
which has been empowered to
seek help from foundations,
hospitals and other interested
groups.
The questions which will be
considered by the committee
have been a matter of con-
troversy for some time. They
relate indirectly to the Dis
trict's legal rule requiring a
verdict Of not guilty by reason
Of insanity for defendants
found to have committed a
crime because they suffered
from a mental disease or de-
feet.
Since this rule was adopted
Dean Charles B. Nuttine Of the
1854. the question Of how q
defendant should be examined
before trial has become one of
major importance.
Questions the committee will
explore probably will include: !:
Can q Judge compel a de-
fendant to submit to a mental
examination? Can a judge
properly accept a plea from a
person he is personally con-
vinced is insane? Are there
