Seattle, Wash. Alaska Newspapers, 1411 ANOTHER ILLUSTRATIO To those who were only amused by the stir created by pumpkins filled with microfilm during the recent Communist spy ring inquiry in Washington we com- mend a thorough reading of the U. S. Army's report on the Soviet spy organizations in Japan and China. As released by Gen. Douglas MacArthur's intelligence have the familiar problem of determining just how: guilty any of the named personages may be. It is axicmatic, of course, that those who “love the cause” so much that they serve it with an obedience blind | to all ties of patriotism are usually very vociferous in | denying any part in it when exposed. We may disbelieve any or all of the reports which | concern Communist spy ring operations. But the re- | sults speak for themselves. The Kremlin never seems without some friends—and informants—in the places where it needs them. The Army report on the spy | \rh)g which operated so effectively in Japan and “some | ‘nf the implications are frightening.” witli that. Remember the furore created by that book | “It Can Happen Here?” Where igence activity is concerned, quite obviously it can’| happen anywhere. | Social Security (Washington Post) The Administration's social security program is | tripartite: (1) extension and liberalization of o!d-age insurance, (2) disability insurance, and (3) a liberal- | ized system of Federal grants to supplement State | outlays for the needy. The important thing to re-‘ member is that the welfare and insuranse bills de- | signed to carry out the Administration’s proposals are intimately related. Further increases in the size of | Federal aid contributions and use of Federal funds for | general tance purposes can be defended much more effectivelv if the Federal old-age insurance sys- |tem is at the same time extended to cover millions of uninsured workers and if insurance benefits are increased to reasonable levels. For, given an adequate |system of social insurance covering most employed | workers, the great majority of the people will be protected by their insurance benefits from becoming public charges. Comprehensive insurance coverage would reduce permanently and progressively the finan- cial burdens of caring for the needy. And the Fed- | eral Government could, as a result, gradually withdraw responsibility for ‘e care of the needy. We can agree | ® lo Communist intelli- | o from the field and let the States assume full financial ¢t !terncon.

They refer to the weekly calls on hospitalized veterans—a service for which those visited have expressed heartfelt appreciation. For more than three months now, Harold Fennel and William C. Jack- son, sometimes by themselves, and matimes post members, have appeared at St. Ann’s hospital promptly on the roke of 3 o'clock every Sunday af- accompanied by other staff, the report asserts that a 20-member spy ring | operating in Japan prior to the war was “incredibly succesful” in keeping Russia advised of Axis plans and | intentions. & The report says that the activity of this group, all but cne of whom were described as working “for the love of the cause,” cost the Russians less than a thousand dollars a month. If the report is true—and it seems well detailed and documented—this spy ring was an avenue of information to Moscow on German plans for attacking Russia in June of 1941 and of | Japanese plans for conquest of the Southwest Pacific.

A total of 293 Congressmen voted expel him. Among those take the North Atlantic Pact lying down. They are more than likely to move—and may mcve in the op- posite direction. That is behind feverish plans to fortify Iran, also behind U. S. Am- bassador John Wiley's frantic cables from Teheran. He seems con- vinced that the Russiahs will move there next.

Mondell, urging that Blanton be expelled, | said: “Anyone uttering in public anywhere the words placed in the Congressional Record by the met ber from Texas should be subject to fine and imprisonment. While we cannot repeat the words which form the basis of this charge, it can be said that they are unspeakably foul, vile, filthy, profane, blasphe- mous, and obscene.” After the resolution of censure was voted, Blanton was called be- fore the Speaker's rostrum, where Speaker Fred Gillett stated: “I have been directed to censure ycu because, when you had been al- lowed by the courtesy of the House to print a speech, you inserted mJ it foul and obscene matter . And that disgusting matter was transmitted as part of the proceed- ings of the House to thousands of homes and libraries throughout the ccuntry to be read by men and women, and, worst u: all, by chil- | dren. In accordance with the in- | structions of the House and its rep- resentatives, I pronounce upon you its censure. As Blanton left the floor of the House he collapsed in the corridor, struck his head on the marble floor | and had to be assisted to his office. w0 in Congress at ithe time were such close friends of President Truman as James F. | Byrnes, later Truman’s Secretary f State; Tom Connally of Texa now Chairman of the Senate For- eign Relations Committee; Speak- er Sam Rayburn, and Vice Pre: dent Barkley.
