pre =e, ol, ee Oe oo Oe 1 ky By ELEANO OOSEVELT HY of “Communis Aployes im he et et? ers McCarthy's Charge Against Miss Kenyon One of the Funniest ee DE PARK, Friday—Sen Joseph R. McCarthy, in choosing the name of Miss Dorothy Kenyon for his first “revelation” ie me very i informed——fors of course, in making such accusations" ate Departiient, seems te he would not, f feel sure, allow himself to be partisan. Miss Kenyon has long been well known io many women, nol_only fi New York City but also in other paris of the U.S. As Well as in other countries. She has be- louged to innumerable organiza. tlons; and even if she did _jgin some that turned out to be so- called subversive “ones, ~ every woman Who knows her would be sure that Miss Kenyon's inten. tors” were good.” _ “~The only” possible criticism of Dorothy Kenyon [ can think of would be that she hoped at times to accomplish more good things than L believe can be achicved all at one stroke. But to Imply that she is a Communist, or t Way Subversive, is éne of the tun nlést Things ever _spggesied, Any woman who has served with Miss Kenyon in any organization, or tatked with her at any time, will dismiss this accusation with a smile. If all of the honorable Sen- ators “subversives” are as sub- versive as Miss Kenyon, I think the State Department is entirely safe and the nation will continuc on an even keel HE March winds yesterday blew cold and raw, hut when the sun came out and the sky cleared, you forgot that three minutes earlier a snow squall was sweeping across the field and making you ceiver’ H had a chance wa w the dogs. Se Teas found time to go thru piles of manuscrip!s, maga- —. n any zines and pamphiets which had accumulated beside my desk ever since last summer. Severai friends came in to tea, ene of them somewhat Jate after spending an hour and a half ex- tricating his car from the mud in the woods. That is also a sign that March is really here, with the mud instead of the snow and ice forming the real barrier to motoring over certain roads. In any case, I have no desire these days to motor, I want to use my own legs and fee] the companion- ship of my two litlle dogs, then come back wilh foy to the open flve and a book, Tl * Lt I HAVE. an advance copy of a fascinating volume at the mo, ment; but it is hard to finish ones’ reading, for the days are neve jong enough up here. There is ae much to do and so little tire, even tho I remind myself of the dictum my mother-in-law always used with my children. If they tried to say that they were late, or had not accemplished some thing because there was “no time,” she would alwnys answer: “My dears, my Aunt Laura always said to us: ‘You had al! the time there was.” Alf the time there was is never quite enough for me.
