Tactics that are at the rights of workers—strike: become inexcusable when they are used as instruments of pressure to compel the government to do scmething in unrelated fields.

We may be quite sure that the idea of havi against Franco originated with the Communist element. And if Hillman, who has been called Communistic at various times but actually seems to have no love whatever for dictation from the Kremlin, would permit it, the Political Action Committee would soon become the tail on the Soviet foreign policy kite. And whereas many workers may find it easy to agree with the Soviet on Spain, they would find it stultifying in the highest Ifie Washinglon Merry-Go-Round (Continued ]mm Page One) could tell you| The same whereby Adjutant Generai in 1944 which officers had workea as bricklayers before the war, but could not tell who had been over- seas.

Cronin, an official of the National Catholic Welfare Council, Ccmmunists have penetrated so deep- ly into the Federal Gevenment that a public investiga- tion of the situation “would shake the country.” It might very well do if the investigation substan- tiated the charges Father Cronin has made. But there has been a continuing investigation of the situation for nearly a decade. And it has produced nothing more substantial than the buckshot allezations of the Dies Committee which Father Cronin seemed to be echoing and which, naturally enough, were promptly reechoed on the floor of the House by Representative Rankin. Father Cronin said that some 2000 active Commun- ists now hold Federal jobs in Wa ngton &nd that 130 of them are in k positions from which they can influence the policies of the involved departments. |He named the State Department, the Treasury De | partment and the Budget Bureau as the agencies most ricusly affected.

That prospect need not be too discour- SU1 aging. Among these small colleges are some which offer just about everything to be desired in a general under- graduate curriculum. Unencumbered by research pro- rams, they develop better personal relations between teacher and student than is often found on larger campuses. And prinkled through the faculties of these schools are some real scholars who are there by choice and not There are advantages, too, in the informality simplicity of student life in the small school and in the mall ccmmunity. For the returning veteran who may be concerned about his ability to readjust to civilian ways and to pick up good habits of study, a year or |two at a small college may be just what he needs to | get his feet on the ground and make a leisurely survey of the various routes along which he may set his; course.
