Show THE 10 COMMUNIST COMPANY is presenting himself m Henry the country as a sort of spiritual reincarnaWallace tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt. But ne cannot bring himself to repudiate Communist support, as the late President did. On this point, in fact, he stands in direct opposition to Mr. Roosevelts views. Mr. Wallace says he has seen no evidence to support the charge that Communists advocate the violent overthrow of our government. In view of the Communist literature available and ihe past utterances of American Communists, it must be that Mr. Wallace chooses to shut his eyes io the evidence. Th;s aspect of the association may not seem too important. America appears no closer to a Communist-lirevolution today than Mr. Wallace does to the presidency. But Mr. Wallace is shutting his eyes to more than the evidence of the goal which Communists have been working toward since Karl Marx pointed it out a hundred years ago. If Mr. Wallace's public statements represent his true feelings, he is also shutting his eyes to the Communist embrace. Any Communists who support the independent ticket, he says, will be supporting our program, not ihe Communist program. That is a remarkably guileless statement from a man who has been n national politics for the last 15 years. The third party candidate may dismiss the Frankenstein stcry as a fable. But can he dismiss the exncriences of some of his contemporaries Sidney Hillman and John L. Lewis, for inWallace-Communi- st d world-revolutio- n stance? Mr. Hillman was instrumental in "orming the American Labor Party in New York State. It started out as genuinely American and genuinely liberal. But the Communists, who had officially disbanded their own political party for the duration, moved in The Washington on Powerful Stuff!

Frankly, I think it isn't strong enough, he barked after Gossett read Clark's resolutoin which by then had been adopted by the steering committee. In the end, only one slight change was made in Clarks resolution. NOTE During the closed-doo- r session, no one suggested bolting the democratic party and entering a southern candidate for President, though one Alabama congressman did suggest that Governor Jim Folsom, already an avowed candidate, could poll more votes than Truman.

It's impossible for an American newsman to visit Japan and write what he wants about MacArthurs rub of the Japanese. And at Fort Riley, Kansas, the other day, Gen. I. D.

Instead of leaving the report to his staff to write, he called in the three major press services and im vited their help. United Press could not spare a ma,n, but Brewster was able to borrow Jim Strebig from Associated Press and Leon Shloss from International New Service, They are expected to give him a big publicity break. Brewster's committee will recommend: 1. A huge aviation program, building U. S. air power to such a peak it should obviate the necessity for universal military training. Old planes will be brought out of mothballs until a new build Ing program produces new planes. 2. Coordination between military and commercial air systems; untangling and coordinating the coun trys air routes; establishing an independent agency to control air safety; unification of armed sen ices aviation. The congressional committee will blast both the army and navy for failure to achieve air unification.
