He added. that McCarthy had made the job of our foreign diplo- mats “doubly difficult,” because they are afraid to be seen talking to anyone who might be accused of pro-Communist leanings in France, Italy and other countries, even in the course of their duties. As a result, the President said, our embassies and legations in some countries had become “virtually isolated” and our foreign-service personnel in in these places serious- ly demoralized. ‘ Things most people don't know about alleged “Commies” m gov- ernment—Chairman of the State Department’s loyalty review board charged with weeding out Commun- ists is a Republican—Gen. Conrad Snow of New Hampshire. He was appointed on the recommendation of GOP Sen. Styles Bridges, a backstage brain-truster for Sen McCarthy's attacks. .Chairman ot the top loyalty review board is also a Republican, Sethi Richardson, who served under Hoover. Most ot the lawyers under him are also Republican. Neither Truman nor anyone else can overrule them— only the courts. . .Actually, Ache- son has fired more State Depart- ment employees than any other Secretary of State. McCarthy's attacks have been almost as vit- riolic as Moscow's. Here is its lat- ect diatribe against Acheson: 'This Fascist-like diplomat. . .A truly in- corrigible liar. . .Swindler. . .A hired lackey of the instigators of war who spent his scanty brains to belie truth, freedom and peace. . . Acheson’s true masters are the banks and concerns who dream of looting the globe.”. . .Acheson’s family is worried over his terrific strain. He is wondering whether he has not become a liability, that for the good of U. . foreign policy he should’ resign. . Wules another Secretary of State, Henry L. Stim- son, in the Hoover Cabinet, about Senator McCarthy: ‘The man who seeks to gain political advantage from personal attack on,a Secre- tary of State is a man who' seeks political advantage from damage to his country. . This is no time to let the noisy antics of a few upset the steady purposes of our country or distract our leaders from their proper tasks.” 1‘ Harassed over fly saucers, the Air Force now refers queries to the first chapter of the prophet Ezekiel who saw a living wheel in the heavens, Airmen are not argu- ing with Ezekiel and cast no doubt upon what he saw. But they do cast doubt on modern prophets. They say they have tracked down every flying-saucer pepwt, and there ain’t no such animal. . The Broth- erhood of Railroad Trainmen,; slightly gleeful at Presidential sea- | sickness, remind him: “Mr. Presi- dent, modern streamliners, manned | by competent union crews, run daily between Washington and Flor- | Freedom of the press has been | teen-agers and produced shocking sag in the morals | of the nation. Further, the Langer bill leads toward the use of | bans on advertising of still other commodities than liquor. If the precedent of the Langer bill were to stand, the way would be open to legislative attacks on many other commodities and industr by the | roundabout method of forbidding the interstate adver- | tising of such goods. . . . | Already the commerce clause of the constitution has been used too often to impose barriers on the | tree flow of goods and of ideas across state lines. That provision of the constitution was not so intended. | It was meant to insure the right of the government to foster trade and commerce in our whole national domain. And it would be a perversion of the con- Har- | stitution if that clause were used to mask an attack jon on the freedom of advertising or a new attempt to thrust on the country the countless evils of prohibition. >UBLICANS be congratulated in Juneau. the entire s publican bgnquet pened a new era The average kid these days can simultaneously read a comic book and listen to a blood-curdling story over the radio.
