“GARLAND FUND” ACTIVITIES
We agree, along with a great majority of good
Americans, that steps should be taken to curb the
activities of organizations such as the "Garland
Fund.”
Not only do these groups contribute to the sup
port of newspapers and organizations who are pledged
to bring about the violent overthrow of our gov
ernment, but they frequently cause acute embarrass
ment to innocent citizens by unauthorized use of
their names.
It has been brought to our attention that the
"American Fund For Public Service," better known
as the “Garland Fund,” is an offender on both
counts.
The “Garland Fund,” as has been previously re
ported in this newspaper, is a source of revenue for
the "Daily Worker,” the "Young Communist League”
and other revolutionary organizations and has been
so described by the House Committee on Un-American
Activities of the U. S. Congress and the Fact-Finding
Committee on Un-American Activities of the Cali
fornia State Senate.
In addition to its active support of revolutionary
bodies, the Fund also takes it upon itself to use the
I names of prominent and respected citizens, W ithout
their knowledge or consent, and list them as officers
and directors of the Fund. This practice has brought
undeserved censure uopn a number of well known
"liberals.’’
Several of these upstanding citizens, upon learn
ing that their names were being used in connection
with this subversive organization, expressed surprise
and promptly disclaimed any knowledge of, or asso
ciation with, the "Garland Fund.” None, however,
have sought remedy in the courts.
Were it not for alert newspapers, some of these
persons might still be unaware that t!hey had been
linked with the Fund, although reports were published
in 1948 listing their names.
We hope that these Commie front outfits will
be forced to discontinue both their revolutionary
activities and their reprehensible practice of name
borrowing.
SHOULD WATCH FOREIGN
REPRESENTATIVES
Communi.st embassies in Washington “have be
come a huge funnel, channeling spies and saboteurs
into this country,” declares a Senate sub-commiltce,
headed by Senator Patrick McCarran, of Nevada.
There is no reason to doubt that the Communist
countries have taken advantage ot diplomatic courtesy
and overstaffed their embassies in this country, roi
ls there any similarity in the freedom accorded lor
eign diplomats in this country and that accorded
American diplomats in Communist areas.
One should not overlook, in this connection, the
opportunity that the location of United Nations head
quarters in this country gives to the Communist na
tions. They must be allowed to send their represen
tatives to the international organization, if they are
to participate in its functioning. Many of these rep
resentatives enjoy diplomatic or • semi-diplomat;c
status. The personnel involved can easily include
s.ties and saboteurs.
OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR
“For obnoxious behavior, repulsive to public
morals,” an 18-year-old sailor was recently fined by
a court in Stockholm, Sweden.
It seems that the young man, walking on a down
town street, put Ills arm around a girl and kissed
her in view of a motorist, who promptly filed a
complaint.
We call this judicial ruling to the. attention of
people, who may practice, in public or in private, this
"obnoxious behavior, repulsive to public morals,” j
without realizing the enormity of' the offense.
However, we have no idea that kissing will be
abated by the Swedish jurists’s decree or that those
who indulge in this practice will seriously contemplate
its discontinuance.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
Carthy, though not a member of
the committee, demanded the right
to dlos.s-oxamine nBStfWTi&xl AtfW
eriean officers as if they, not the
Nazis, were the war criminals.
When Col. Burton F. Ellis, chief
prosecutor in the Malmedy trial,
took the witness stand. McCarthy
interupted after only one minute
of testinVony and proceeded to
denounce him. Finally, Senator
Hunt of Wyoming, not given to
extravagant statements, interven
ed.
“HILARIOUS” MURDER
"This is not a prosecution," he
said. "What we are trying to do1
is just to get the witnesses’ state
ments, and then we will be the
judge of whether they did things
in the right manner.”
"I entirely disagree," shouted
McCarthy. “If that is the purpose
I am wasting my time.”
McCarthy then oharged Ken
neth F. Ahrens of Erie, Pa., one of
the few survivors of the massacre,
with "inflaming the public” and
trying to "create a Roman holiday"
when Ahrens stated that the Nazi
SS men had been in a hilarious
mood when they shot down 150
GI's in cold blood.
McCarthy called the U. S. judg
es who condemned the Nazis "mor
ons," and demanded a lie-detector
test for the U. S. oificers who had 1
obtained the confessions. Senator
Baldwin, a fellow Republican, sug
gested that if American officers j
had to suffer the humility of tak
ing a lie test, then a lie test should
also be given to the convicted SS
men whose word McCarthy ac
cepted.
As a result, the committee ac
tually voted on the use of a lie
detector and turned the idea down.
Shortly thereafter, McCarthy walk
ed out of the hearings denounc
ing them as a “shameful farce"
and a "deliberate and clever at
tempt to whitewash the American
military."
DUCK SOUP FOR COMMIES
Naturally, his speeches were
cabled daily to Germany, played
up in the German press, and used
by Communists to inilame the
public.
Finally, McCarthy delivered a
full-dress attack on the Senate
Iloor, charging a "whitewash" and
accusing his GOP colleague. Sen
ator Baldwin, of being “criminally
responsible.” Again thAe charges
made headlines in Germany, in
fact around the world. The Com
munist press was gleeful in its re
action.
McCarthy’s charges were so vio
lent that every member of the
Armed Services committee signed
a statement praising the "integ
rity” of Senator Baldwin and
condemning McCarthy’s “unfair
and utterly undeserved comments.”
This of course did not get a play
in the German and Communist
press. Meanwhile, German public
opinion was so enraged that the
death sentences were commuted.
The military war criminals have
not hanged for their cold-blood
ed, hilarious murder of 150 Ameri
can prisoners, and in a few short
weeks the precedent which the U.
S. military leaders hoped to create
to discourage future war crimes
was out the window.”
r* i >t q vft ’ qi i
G. I. CftOW
While investigating our military
bases in Europe with a group of
House colleagues, hard-working
Congressman Walter Norblad of
Oregon decided to get some first
hand information ahout the
“chow" being fed our overseas
troops.
Norblad. an Air Force intelli
gence olficer in the last war, ate
in the enlisted men's mess hall
at a U. S. base at Chateauroux,
France, and questioned a group of
GI’s at some length.
"I see you boys have chicken
today and it tastes mighty good,”
began Norblad. “Is this a regular
thing or are they putting on a
display here to impress us Cong
ressmen?”
“No, we always have chicken on
Sunday,” replied a soldier.
“Well, how is the food the rest
of the week?” asked the Congress
man.
"Swell,” he was assured. “Al
ways first-rate. The fellows here
have no complaints about the
chow.”
Norblad still wasn’t convinced.
“How about the preparation?”
he asked. “Is it cooked well?”
“Couldn't be better,” he was
again assured.
Satisfied at last, the Oregon
Cond'essman drained his ifjffee
cup and got up to leave. He shook
hands with his dinner companions
and asked them in parting: “By
the way, what do you fellows do
around here?”
“We're the cooks.”

WASHINGTON PIPELINE
Secretary of Labor Tobin is
nursing a wounded ego—because
he wasn't asked to be Democratic"
National Chairman. He didn’t
really want the job, but at least
he wanted to asked. . Wire record
ings in a notorious tax-fix case
are now missing. The Bureau of
Internal Revenue can't locate the
recordings, which are important
ev:dence in the Gertrude Jenkins
case. Mrs. Jenkins has charged
that she paid $5,000 to Reno Col
lector Pat Mooney to fix her tax
fraud case. T-Men recorded the
fix oifer, which was made by M.
M Hartmann, a San Francisco at
torney. But when House investi
gators asked for the recordings, the
Bureau said it couldn't find them.
. White House aide Don Dawson
is quietly paving the way for his
pal, Don Smith, to be personnel
director for the Federal Security
Agency. This is the same Don
Smith whose RFC job was abolish
ed because Daw'son and Smith were
part of a ring influencing RFC
loan... More recently, when Daw
son started pulling wires to find
■his friend another top govern
ment job, the Civil Service Com
mission's trouble shooter, Joseph
Winslow, protested. Dawson merely
shrugged his shoulders, said his
friend had to eat.
