CONGRESS
ROUNDUP
(Continued from Page One)
would hike the nation’s military
payroll about $406,000,000 a year.
The increase would average about
14 per cent, with top ranking offi
cers getting the biggest pay raises.
It would apply to all services.
Two Senate committees gave
lot of attention to spies and com
munists.
The appropriations sub-com
mittee was set to hear chairman
David E. Lilienthal of the atomic
energy commission testify on the
need of his agency for $1,090,000,
000 to carry on its work for the
year beginning July 1.
The commission is currently
under Congressional fire for
awarding a communist a $1,600
fellowship with which to study
science. Senator O’Mahoney (D.
wyo.‘ already has announced he
wants Congress to have a closer
check on atomic spending, and to
put a stop to awarding AEC fel
lowships to communists from now
on.
■ Yesterday the committee talked
| to the young communist in ques
j tion—23-year-old Hans Friestadt.
; now attending the Unviersity of
| North Carolina. He said if Russia
attacked the United States, he
would defend this country, but if
this country attacked Russia, he
! “would not support such a war.”
The Senate judiciary sub-com
mittee called witnesses to testify
on proposed bills that would re
quire registration of communists
' and their organizations, and which
would deny passports and federal
jobs to communists.
Friday. May 20. 1949
WASHINGTOxN. (/P)—Commun
ists and economy were headline
topics in Congress today.
Three committees studied legis
lative ways to raise new safe
guards against infiltration of Reds
into the nation’s government and
economic life.
I
Evidence given a Senate appro
priations sub-committee disclosed
that a young medical student do
ing research work at a Boston
hospital holds a $3,750 atomic
energy commission scholarship, al
though he has been denied clear
ance on security grounds, for ac
cess to secret information.
AEC chairman David Lilienthal
said the scholar had denied that
he was a communist. He said,
however, that security clearance
was withheld because of “deroga
tory information” against him.
A House judiciary sub-commit
tee studying anti-subversive legis
lation got a letter from attorney
general Clark disclosing that the
justice department is investigat
! ing or taking action against 833
suspected subversive aliens.
Meanwhile a Senate sub-com
mittee, also working on anti-Red
bills, heard a communist party
leader testify that the party will
“go underground” if Congress
passes a bill requiring communists
and communist front organizations
to register.
“You would force us into the
position of being outlaws and you
would force us underground,” Ar
nold Johnson, secretary of the
comm unist party’s legislative
committee, told the Senators.
The big money measure which
came up in the Senate today is
technically known as the army
civil functions bill. It provides
funds for development in dozens
of states The House already has
•approved it.
Economy-minded Senators who
have been beaten three straight
times in their drive to cut govern
nent spending warned in advance
they would try to trim this appro
priation, too.
Democratic Senator Douglas of
Illinois sponsored an amendment |
that would reduce the total $300,
000,000. The Senate also had be-;
fore it the now-standard amend- (
ment by Republican Senators Fer-1
guson (Mich.- and Bridges (N. H.),
to cut the bill by five per cent.
Yesterday, economy advocates i
failed in their fight to trim the
$1,465,000,000 agriculture depart
ment bill; the Senate passed it,
and sent it back to the House
which had approved a similar bill.
The House was talking money,
too: the bill to raise military pay
an average of 14 per cent was up
| for debate. Biggest increases
| would go to top officers.
The Senate armed services sub- J
committee investigating the Mal
medy trials was attacked in bitter
statements by Senator McCarthy
(R.-Wis.). The group is trying to
find out if the nazis charged with
killing American prisonei's of war
had been given fair trials.
Senator McCarthy claims they
were not. He says many were beat
en and tricked into confessions.
Although not a member of the
armed services committee, he was
appointed to the investigating
group because he was one of those
' who urged the probe.
! Today, however, he angrily
. quit the committee because he
! said it was “attempting to white
! wash a shameful episode.” He
called the investigation now under
1 way a “shameful farce.”
