Tobin said such persons spoke from what he termed the “priv- ileged sanctuary” of the Senate. The Labor secretary spoke be- fore the 52nd annual encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars now under way in New York. Tobin said the founders of the United States did not intend the Senate to be—as he put it—“a citadel to hide from the libel laws.” Secretary Tobin mentioned no names. But it was evident he referred to the accusations made by some senators that Com- munists have infiltrated the gov- ernment. i quently has voiced this charge. | Tobin told the VFW that, as he put it, they must “polish up the | armor” of democracy and show | he world that the bill of rights | és practiced as well as preached. Said Tobin: | “If a oman nas charges to ;make against one of his country- Rien, he ought to be prepared to stand behind them and produce | the evidence to prove them.” The VFW may act today on a! ew resolution asking President Secretary of State. ‘Navy Will Repair ‘Channel Pipeline n Thursday, August 30, the | U.
