PAGE 6—THE FRONTIER, O'Neill, Nebr., April 21, 19*9 The Washington-Merry-Go-Round — Secretary of State Acheson Bluntly Declares Communists Are Complete Masters of China Bv DREW PEARSON . . a a • « » _4a Ferguson Jittery GOP Sen. Homer Ferguson must be getting jittery over ftis election probe back in Mich igan. At any rate something has thrown Homer’s balance wheel out of gear. The other day, the Michigan senator, supposed to be a great prosecutor and investigator, let it be known to the press that two years ago he had informed Attorney General Tom Clark about Judith Coplon, the justice department analyst recently caught handing government documents to a Russian diplo mat in New York. The implica tion was that Clark had sat on his hands for two years while Miss Coplon got away with jus tice department secrets. When Attorney General Clark heard of the Ferguson statement, he was, to say the least, flabbergasted, and sent word to the senator that he . would give nun i*» take back his statement. Ferguson was quick to reply. He sat down and wrote Clark a humble longhand note taking back what he had said. The sen ator’s excuse was that he had been misquoted. He never had said he gave information about Judith Coplon to Clark, nor did he state that he had demanded a probe of the matter, Ferguson wrote the attorney general. Next day the attorney general happened to be up on Capitol Hill calling on the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, Pat McCarran of Nevada. “Here's a letter that might in terest you,” remarked Senator McCarran, handing him a type written letter on the stationery of Senator Ferguson. In the letter, Ferguson said exactly what the newspapers quoted him as saying the night before, and which he had denied to Clark. Two years ago, wrote OUR LOWEST PRICE IN YEARS!

The attorney general read the letter with amusement. “Well, here’s a letter he wrote me,” he remarked, pulling out the handwritten note in which Ferguson said he had been mis | quoted. McCarren read the note, then ;observed: "I thought there was some thing funny about Ferguson's phoning me last night. He wanted to know if I had re ceived this letter. Then he said: 'Well, don't give it out. It's confidential'.” » • • Silver Lobby Loves China In a secret report to the sen | ate foreign relations committee j last week, Secretary of State Acheson bluntly announced that the Communists are complete masters of China and it would be folly to send more U. S. arms to the defeated Nationalists. Acheson revealed that nine-tenths of the equipment already furnished by the Unit ed Stales has been surrender ed to the Communists in the past eight months. Today the Communists have the military power to march wherever they please in China—includ ing South China where the Nationalists are still holding out, Acheson reported. Meanwhile, the Nationalists are negotiating frantically for a coalition government. Whether the United States will do busi ness with the new government, Acheson said, will depend on the Communists’ attitude. The secretary of state was called before the foreign rela tions committee to answer a pe tition, signed by 50 senators, de imanding aid for the National ROYAL THEATER O'NEILL ★ ★ ★ THURSDAY - APRIL 21 \ Dane Clark and Geraldine Brooks in Embraceable You Here’s a big story of the Big Town—just the way it happened . . . and just the warm and wonderful way you’d want it happen!

I just learned there’s a ; lobbyist mixed up in this.” Vandenberg probably referred to young Randolph Feltus, a reg istered lobbyist on capitol hill, who h".s been fighting ECA aid to the Neterlands on the grounds that the money will be used to finance Dutch armed imperial ! ism in Indonesia. “Listen Arthur,” grinned Brewster, “have you ever heard of legislation on any subject in congress, of major or minor im portance, that doesn’t have a lob byist for or against it?” Note: Feltus and many others have been talking to senators on the ground that a breakdown of the U. N. regarding Indonesia means a serious undermining of the peace machinery of the world. - I REDBIRD NEWS Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Cihlar were callers in Redbird Saturday eve ning, April 9.
