It was an address which reflected great credit and honor on the Democratic Party, on North Carolina, on the nation and* also on the statesmanship of the speaker. because Willis Smith is an honest man and has the coij£a&e to speak his convictions and tell the truth, a few of the State’s radical politicians (who-really aren’t real Democrats) and one or two of the left-wing newspapers yelled, loudly and branded it a Republican speech. Those same individuals and those same newspapers yell ed“sust as loudly, misrepresented the truth just as reck “ lessly and abused Willis Smith just as bitterly and vigor „ ously during his campaign. But the people—the real Dem ~©qSJs—sent him to the Senate. ; -sPteose same individuals and those same newspapers had -IflOffTluence then—they have even less influence today. * -All-Willis Smith is doing is trying to warn the Demo ■■ erfits of his State and thfe South that the party is in danger ■the election this fall if there isn’t a good house ay loyal Democrat, he believes the time to air ’s differences is before the convention so that the a close ranks after the convention and win the md continued confidence of the people next fall, ognizes that it’s up to the Democrats to clean » House.

The Committee’s repert stated: .. .“It is not the committee's pun pose to destroy this investment. It must be remembered, however, that the American public also has an investment in Hollywood for, prior to the advent of television, the American public relied almost sole ly upon Hollywood motion pic tures for visual, dramatic presen tation. It must be realii*d that moving pictures have a tremendous emotional effect upon the audience which views them. The same is true of television shows. The committee hopes that its investi gation of Hollywood will have a far-reaching effect and prevent a large-scale future Communist In filtration of the television indus try...” Two points of view have long existed in the motion picture in dustry: 1. That every disclosure of Com munist activities in Hollywood hurts the industry. Therefore any one who raises this issue is an enemy of the industry. In keeping with this concept, so-called Holly wood statesmen—that is, some lawyers, public relations counsel and front men for the industry have opposed such organizations as the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals which since 1944 has actively been fighting the activities of the Com munists in Hollywood. The general industry attitude has been that the anti-Communists were a greater nuisance than the Communists. The reds have taken full advantage of that. The House Committee on Un- American Activities calls attention to this undeniable fact: „ “The need for remedial action was amply demonstrated when it was found that four Communist front organizations, bad op erated in the state of ,-CaJlfOrnla, received approximately 91.- >from ——-a— tea u. 1 motion-picture had long been known that Holly wood was one of the principal sources of funds for the Commu nist Party of the United States?” 2. Some companies have, on their own, cleaned house, often at con siderable cost. It can be Mid that Republic. RKO, and Warner Bro thers have done mqst to keep their studios clean. It is a tough job be cause Communists do not readily expose themselves and the bast technique for their discovery is an unpleasant one, namely, the search ing of records of activity and tht assumption of guilt by association. The latter method of exposure Is particularly pupela table, even td violent anti-Communists, but it has been the net that has caught most of the fish. Such companies as Paramount, Columbia, and Twentieth Century- Fox have, in recent months, been facing the issue practically, on the sound business assumption that pictures in which Communists or “Fronters” have been writer*, pro ducers. directors, actors encounter unusual sales resistance and there fore an detective product*. The process of ellminatia* Com munists meets many impediments, including tome decisions of the courts. I shall list some of the ma jor impediments: 1. The general ignorance cm the part of leading men in this indus try of political ideas and activities, tiki meaning of CoopoiiiiiMH and the violent rejection of It by most Americans. 2. The alleged box-office appeal of certain writers and actors. The allegation has not been sustained by receipts during 1960 and 1951. 2. The natural dcsira to protect property values in already manu factured pictures, In “Mg names” which cost huge sums to build lip, and in investments in pictures cur rently being shown. 4.

N. a MISTER BREGER “There he goes —a born leader of men!” 1 l wsoKioT $®l*RIW-60- ROUND »f OtlW MAHON SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO —The U. S. Sedate has now heard charges from three different senators that Puerto Rico's Georgetown Univer sity-educated Governor Luis Munoz Marin is dictator of that land. The accusing senators are Brewster of Maine, Butter of Maryland, both Republicans, and Johnston of South Carolina, a Democrat. 4 Their charges illustrate a new technique in what is supposed to be the most illustrious legislative body in the world—the U./S. Sen ate. For what the public doesn’t realize when it listens to these speeches is that the man behind them is a South Carolina contractor who owes 91,000,000 in beck taxes to the Puerto Rican government. The Puerto Rican ' public cjoes realize this, however, and reactions here have been highly prejudicial to the prestige of he U. S. Con gress. Whereas Congress is supposed to set the highest moral and legis lative standards for the Western hemisphere, actually the speeches of these three senators are regarded in Puerto Rico as little-more than blackmail. In brief, if the Puerto Ricgwi government doesn't forgive lljjoO.OOO in taxes owed by L. D. UM g. South CarNang .contractor,, then the U. S. Senatewill investi gate Puerto Rico. At a time when we are trying to encourage clean government throughout Pan-America this does not go down well in the Caribbean. HOUSING PROJECTS Meanwhile. L. D. Long of Charles ton, S. C, becomes one of the most famous characters in Puerto Rico. It is doubtful whether Franklin D. Roosevelt or Harry S. Truman are better known, though their reputa tions here are more favorable. L. D. Long is a likable, hustling contractor who has put up more FHA housing projects in Puerto Rico than any other man in his tory-housing plat was badly need ed though opinion differ regarding its durability. Long and 'his family have been staunch supporters and contributors to the campaigns of 1 Senator OHn Johnston, whi), aside from his cur rent proposal to probe alleged ty ranny In Puerto Rico, has been a notarized, or to the House Com mittee or to the Motion Picture Alliance. He cfn always arrange to have a copy of the record cir culated to tebet of the active anti communist groups in the country. He.needs no lawyer, no public re lations counsel no “clearer.” Many who would like to clear themselves resist the temptation to go straight for one of three rea sons: 1. The unwillingness to appear to have been foolish: 2. They do not. (ike to name others; 3. The tear that the industry itself wU| dot give them employ ment. ’ . - CUTtCS , "< t| I fcj j *«1: - Ijt tg | : L Wrt I ; -v i ’ W y 11 1 1 hard - working and conscientious senator. Shortly after he began operations in Puerto Rico, Long started to apply northern political techniques to the island and' dropped in on Munoz Marin, then a candidate for governor, with a large wad of greenbacks bulging from his pockets totaling $25,000. These he offered 'to Munoz as a campaign contribu tion for the Popular Democratic party Munoz declined. "Our campaigns do not cost that much,” he said. "Besides, if I ac cepted that much money from one man the voters might hold it against me and I would be defeated.” Long, however, insisted. Finally Munoz told him to take the money to the secretary of- the Popular Democratic party, get a receipt, and they would use the money if they needed it. If not, it would be re turned. Long did so. At the end of the campaign—which incidentally elected a native, Munoz, for the first time in Puerto Rico’s history— the money was returned. TAX TROUBLE The trouble over Long's taxes arose when former Governor Jesus * ttrttMLong tlmt^his^pethfon^^for stax 5 tax exemption would be favorably con sidered. Ex-Governor Pinero has now gone to work for Long. But even, sb the ex-govemor does not state that Long was promised tax exemption but rather that his pe tition would be considered favor ably. Since then the question of Long’s taxes have gone before the U. S. District Court and the U. S. Court ,'of Appeals in Boston. Each decided against him. Though these first ap peals were taken to U. S. courts, • Long has now gone back to try his hand in the Puerto Rican courts, where the case now stands. Whether he is right or wrong, Long certainly has been given every right of’judicial appeal not usuaUy available in a dictatorship, which he and his Senate friends now claim exists in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile he has gone over the heads of the courts as dictators sometimes do to try his case in the U. S. Senate—which has left a de cidedly bad taste in Puerto Rico. Furthermore, be has employed ■' certain other techniques not con sidered good practice in democra cies to promote FHA housing in the island. i ' * Those techniques recently caused the Federal Housing Administration ■ in Washington to fire its FHA rep i resentative in Puerto Rico, Fred erick D’A. Carpenter. FHA OKAYS Long ’has now financed a total Os $51.90(X000 worth of houses and apartments through FHA hi Puerto Rico , and has’ exhibited a surpris ing (acuity for getting FHA okays. It is interesting that FHA Repre sentative Carpenter informed the Walter Wlnehell ln wt New York By JACK LAIT * Substituting for Winchel! The month of March derives its name from Mars, the god of war; from it stems also the military verb, to march. .' . , The third month was so'denominated (Mar tins) in the ancient Roman calen dar, which divided the year into a dozen periods. In designating days of the months, the Romans reckoned backwards from three fix ed points—the calends, the nones and the ides. The calends were the first day: the ides fell on the fif-' teenth in March, May. July and October, and on the thirteenth In ether months. The nones fell on the eighth day before the nones. The Ides of March, also, never became commonly known, for it was then that .Julius Caesar was killed, and Shak'espeare’s play warned, “Beware the Ides of March!” March was the Romans’ first' month until the Julian calendar was adopted in 46 B. C., and con tinued to be the beginning of the legal s'ear in England until the 18th century. In France it was* the first month Until 1564, when, by edict of Charles IX, January was set td lead off. Scotland followed that system in 1599, but England wtuted until 1752. . . . The Anglo- Saxons called March Hlyd-monath, the ‘ loud (or stormy) month, or Lenqten- monath (or lengthen month) because then the days grew longer. . ... An old saying in the British Isles represents March as borrowihg three days from April (in an adjustment, of an older cal endar) and the last three days of March were known as the “borrow ed days.” I, of course, do not remember all that. I am not quite ancient enough. But I studied up on March, because it has been the decisive period ln my life. ... I was born very close to the ides of March. I was mar ried in March. I began my news paper work in March. My (with Lee Mortimer) Chicago and Washington books were published in March, and “U. S. A. Confidential” will be launched on March 13. X enlisted in the Army (3d Reg.. Hi. Mißtia) 'in 1 March and was mustered out in March. It has been a recurrently eventful month and a lucky one to me. (If I am non-superstitkhji enough to let my book be published ■ on the thirteenth, T am likewise daring enough not to tap wood as I say that) Marches have been my favorite musical' compositions, too, for I am a sucker for vigorous drum accents. The first composition that appealed to me, in my childhood, • was Sousa’s "Washington Post March.” And thereby hangs an anecdote. When I was very young, I was farmed o«t in New Jersey on a 49- acre patch that belonged to Tom Dennis, whose daughter \jas Ruthie, later world-renowned as Ruth St. Denis. Also stashed there was a f beautiful blonde girl named Pearl ' .Worthington, who was being hidden because she was disputed property in a sensational divorce squabble in the rich Worthington (pump and machinery) family. She was known to us kids as “Pearl Plunkett.” I fell fiercely in love with hes (I was about eight years old) And remem bered her well. When Ruthie came ! to our* house In New York, a couple i of years later, my first question was about Pearl.

You see, I am far from being an ideal ’ per son; and in fact have often con sidered suicide, or leaving home, before I met Jerry. As far back as I can remember, my parents have said my life is worthless.
