= wage ’ P a jesatoosevenr, personally, conducted neg 4 oscil tia manner to indicnte symoathy with those under inquiry and followed that demon stration by inviting a bunch of them to the While House. At the chicken salad orpy in the White House, following the fourth inauturation, the guests inchided William-Galilmor, originally Alargotis, a wellknown thief whose notoriety and yise from the status of obsacute and petiy knave in the police records of New York was due to his consistent preaching of the poidcies, or line, of the Stalinis{ machine in the United States. Many inuubitable Communists were turned up in many departments of the Roosevelt Govern: ment, but in not oue single case wos there any acknowledgement from the White House or the Roosevelt party that their presence was at all regrettable or explanation of how they got there. The Gécision of the Supreme Court in the Jarrs“Rridces deportation case seems to frus- trate hope of pinning communism on anyobdy. Bridges was given a Jong and fair hearing by Judge Charles B. Sears, a distinguished Jurist, under an unchallanred act of Congress. As the mintrity opinion ef the Supreme Court said, Judte Sears recommended that he be deported on two grounds (a) That he was a member of the Communist party and (b) that he was “al- fillated"’ with bolh the parity and the Marine Workers’ Industria! Union ‘ebich was a part of the Corununist party.” The Board of Immigration Appeals of the Department of Justice, a body by no means comparable to Judec Sears in prestice but more comparable to ony bureaucratic croup ef clerks. reversed the judce. Francis Biddle, the Altorney Generai, and certainly no Red-saiter, reversed the Board and ordered Bridres’ deportation. The ease then went to the Supreme Court and the majority ruled for Gridces, reversing Sears, the Couri of Appeals and Biddle, in 2 long and wispy discussion of the meaning of the word ‘aftitiation.” In fine, however, & man could assist and co-operate with @ violent, anti-Ameri- ean group in its lesitimate activities without becoming guilly of its Iliclt purposes, Chief Justice Slone wrote a minority opinion for himself, Frankfurter and Roberts which de- molished the evil rubbish of the niatority opin- fon. But that was only in the mature of a wail of repret for. by this decision, Bridges was welcomed to our midst and eventually to citizen- ship, in which status, of course, he may, if he desires, openiy demand the violent destruction tha ft of the ‘Gaverninent, 4s a citizen, he may advo cate the illictt alins of the party, it he would, A resolution is new pending by Contressman MeDonourh of California, which unmistakably damns coinnmunism as an internativnil con- spiracy against our Government and a Commu- nist as anyone who expounds communism as rn enemy of the country “lo be dcait with accardingly.” (Ceprright, 7317, by King Poatutea Syndicate, Teed — woh WASHINGTON mies HERALD 3 MORNING EDITION DATE.
