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

the Michigan senator, he had
given the information about
Judith Coplon to Clark, and
: now he demanded an investiga
tion. Furthermore, he put all this
1 in black and white.
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

Lobbying for Peace
Senate GOP leader, Arthur
Vandenberg, backed colleague
Owen Brewster, of Mains, in a
corner, glanced furtively for
evesdroppers and whispered:
“You’d better lay off that
EGA fund to the Dutch that
! you’ve been raising such, a fuss
about. 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.
