Canadian Spy Ring Andy was a nice boy, worked hard and I never dreamed at first he had any links with the Commun- ists. But as time passed and I wrote more and more critical stories about Russia I became suspicious. He frequently argued against the col- umns which criticized Russia. I recall especially the column I! wrote exposing the Russian spy ring in Canada. At that time—1946 still were devoted to the idea that we could and must cooperate with Russia, and the critical mail I received calling me a liar and a warmonger was heavy. Older was among those who aeprecated this column. Later a friend reported that he had seen Older with both a member of the Soviet Tass News agency and the editor of the Soviet Infor- mation Service, which was publish- ed by the Russian Embassy. As a result, I went to J. Edgar Hoover, told him of this report and asked whether he had any information regarding Older and a possible af- filiation with Communism. Mr. Hoover reported a week or so later that Older was listed as a member of the Communist party in Washington Next day I called Older uring that in conformity with standard Commur, practice he would deny membership in the par- ty. But he didn't. He told the truth. Dazzling Authoress In a way this made things more difficult. If he had lied, it would have been easy to fire him. But when a man tells the truth you cer- tainly owe it to him to listen to his story S0 we had a I talk, during which Older said he had joined the party early in 1940 largely through the influence of Ruth McKenny, author of “My Sister Eileen,” and editor of the New Masses from 1937 to 1946, who later broke with Com- munism. The counsel the Sen- ate Internal Security Committee states that Miss McKen broke with the party ame time Browder had his difficulties Older’s father was born in Rus- sian Poland, and Andy had been in, fig- for at the | sudden party switch to all-out pre- |at a time when Stalin and Hitler were allies in 1939, and later the paredness. He said that he had been trying to get away from the party, hadn't attended meetings since 1944 and was fed up with highhanded Com- munist tactics. However, he said that it was hard to get away when you were once a member because the comrades blackmailed you by threatening to expose your mem- bership. He said he gradually had come around to my point of view that the peace and that her tactics un- der the Kremlin were just as Im- perialistic as under the Czar. Lippmann Had Communist Secre- | tary At first I thought I could wean Older completely away from Com- munism and had some talks along this line Wwith J. Edgar Hoover. I figured that if I could get Older to do a budenz and take a militant stand against the party, he would become a highly useful citizen. However, I also had heard that the Communists had planted a sec- retary on Walter Lippmann and| that it was standard Communist practice. to put men in key spots where they could influence public opinion. So, figuring there was no| use making life difficult by sitting on a continual keg of dynamite, I let Older go. !

In fact, he bacame some- thing of a small-scale capitalist, and in addition to his trade journ-| als, operated a laundry. 1 And since he cannot be here to| defend himself, I would like to say | that Andy Older was one of those unfortunate youngsters who, thru | the influence of persuasive person- alities, got off to a bad start, but! who saw things in a far clearer light, before he died | “Stop Eisenhower” A full scale “Stop Eisenhower campaign is being cooked up bac stage by the Chicago Tribune and backers of Senator Taft.
