This means, the government forecasters said, the income of wheat farmers will be down some Of all the men In high govern- ment security posts, J, Edgar Hoover, director of the F.B.I., possibly commands more respect than any other. For that reason, his statement that the Communists have a potential fifth column of 540,000 people in the United States, made public some four months after he testified before a senate committee, gave Red conscious Americans a shock. He was explicit on two points: (1) Communists Nts When pinions art (EdIUr'a la Ihos eslamns, they express art these t Western andNewspaper net ass Union's news analysts ossnrlly of this newspaper.) el of Wisconsin, in convention assembled, that we do most heartily commend and encourage the and untiring efforts of Senator McCarthy to expose, root out and destroy the treasonable, $400,000,000. elements disloyal The government predicts a har- Communistic, vest o' 944,514,000 bushels as the now playing such a dominant role, admin-stratioresult of voluntary reductions in n the present Democratic plantings under the governments Jailed acreage allotment program, Amerand indus- H.

Hoover also reported, To coun- teract the F.B.I.s penetration of the Communist party, Its leaders have established a and vigorous loyalty program of its own, calling for establishment of investigating committees in each state and a thorough investigation of each member of the part as to personal history, activities, far-reachi- associations, contacts, of membership." ng and length SENATOR TAFT: War if Necessary John Howard Lawson (left) and Dalton Trumbo (right) are shown on the way to jail to las approximately $4,000,000,000 inIn farm surpluses. vested start a years Imprisonment The agriculture department said for contempt of congress.

S. foreign policy. The main points: (1) The United States should go to war if Russia moves into western Europe; (2) He doubts there ever can be a complete bipartisan foreign policy to cover all areas of the world. The senator, however, did not entirely abandon the music of isolationism with which he has often been associated. He added that he believed the U. S. can contribute most to meeting the challenge (of Russia) if it maintains "a free hand" and avoids any committments, such as arms aid, now or land-mas- s fighting in Europe" if fighting' breaks out. On the bipartisan foreign policy problem, Taft was not Jumping completely to either side of the fence. He wanted it understood he believed a bipartisan policy could be achieved on specific projects" when there is advance consultation with elected Republicans in i ; . V congress."
