12 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tues., Oct. 18, 1949 United States Aid To France Being Sabotaged By Communist Propaganda By DOUGLAS LARSEN (NEA Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. (NEA) Congress has received several reports this summer on the effectiveness and size of the Communist propaganda effort in France and how It is sabotaging American aid efforts there. It poses the problem of whether to make American propaganda ' efforts in France as rough and tumble and expensive as those of the commies, or whether to continue the present dignified and scrupulously honest efforts to sell the French on the virtues of democracy. There are many specific ex amples of Just how the French Reds have operated. When a mi nor dispute between the U. S. and England over aluminum pur chases with ECA funds develop ed, the Communist propagandists put out the following line: "Behold capitalism and capita lists. Behold the titans of Indus try with no honor, ethics, or hon esty, even when one (America) Is allegedly bailing out another In order to preserve the solidar ity of International capitalism. Even here these ruthless, instinc tively competitive capitalists try to cheat each other. No, my friends, only in the communist faith is there true brotherhood, true selflessness, true Identity of Interests between countries.' The day after the French gov ernment announced a proposal to improve the tax program, the Red press said: 'The Marshall Plan gauleiters yesterday cracked the whip anJ the government quislings went through their paces. Our 'lead ers' have surrendered the sover eign y of France to the carpet naggers from Wall street." T' pical Red Comment This is the typical Communist Vresa line on the suojeci oi tasi tVent trade: "American expansionists have found a new trick to prevent trade between East and West. The 'Marshalllzed' countries are forbidden to send goods to Eas tern Europe on the flimsy ground that it might Increase the mili tary potential of the Soviet Union. This policy has dealt a severe blow to France, which has thui lost Its historic eastern European markets." Ineffective as these words ap pear to the average American, Congress has been told that Hie average Frenchman even the non Communist Is impressed with them. A parliamentary deputy who Is leader of one of an Important non-Communist party makes this frank statement in a report: "A mass of people, certainly 60 per cent, has heard abort the Marshall Plan and has a scram bled, vague knowledge that It In volves American Rifts which must be viewed with great sus picion. Deicrediti U. S. Faith "If there is one categorlcul statement to be made on this subject it Is that not one French man In 500 believes that there Is anv element of good faith In volved In this thing. They're suie that America is motivated only by' its own economic needs. "Another point: Pcspile the ad mirable effurt of ECA to explain the objectives the basic Ideas of the Marshall Plan the French man's awareness of It stems from Red publicity. Volumewlso It Is all one-sided. Incidentally, I do not believe that there ate 20 deputies among my colleagues in the chamber who have a know ledge of the principal provisions of the Marshall Plan. From the standpoint of its successes this may be a good thing." It is reported that "there is not a single department of France without communist news paper." And where the commu nity can't support daily, a weekly Is put out. In addition, one of the most influential typos of press propa ganda used by the commies are the trade ncwspaers. The line is put out In the language of a mi ner, for Instance, or a maritime worker. U. S. efforts have been noticeably shy in matching this device. Chance Given Bride To Lift Ban Of Church ";-'" YORK, Oct. 18.-f.?t A pvrt'.v r .ciety bride, excommu nicaied from the Roman Cath olio church, may, if she wishes, seek to have the ban lifted. A chancery official of the Cath olic archdiocese of New York, headed by Francis Cardinal Spell man, says the next move is up to her. She is the former Claire Eliza beth McGlnnls of San Francisco, who was married Monday to Ivan Obolcnsky, son of a former Rus sian Prince and an heir to the John Jacob Astor fortune. The Catholic church declared her excommunicated Thursday because she had gone through a wedding In the bridegroom's church, the Russian orthodox, fol lowing a Roman Catholic cere mony. If she wishes to remain a Cath olic, a chancery official said, she must confer with church officials to find out what penance she must do to have the ban remov ed. Friends of the bride said she was too upset to make any com ment immediately. The excommunication announ ment said the couple had agreed in writing the. c would be only the Catholic marriage ceremony.

Phone 242 Senator Morse Not Influenced By CIO Criticism WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 P Senator Morse told the Senate that he wants the CIO to know he does not intend to sacrifice his personal convictions for a po litical imure. He said CIO leaders In Oregon were withholding endorsement of him for re-election next year be cause of his stand on C.V.A, leg islation. "I have never made a com mitment to a labor organization, to a business organization or to any other political pressure group, and I don't Intend to start with Ihe CIO," Morse said. "There is nothing about this Job that would cause me to sacrifice my Independence of Judgment," he added. Morse said he had been advised that the Oregon CIO convention failed to come out for him be cause, among other thnigs, he has opposed a pending hill to set up a Columbia River Valley au thority. "This type of attack on me In my state isn't going to strike the political pay dirt that Democrat ic leaders within the CIO think they are going to strike with this type of snide attack on me," Morse aaserted. He said no labor organization "ever succeeded in conditioning Its endorsement of me." Morse has battled in the Sen ate for repeal of the labor-hated Taft-Hartley law. He said he had been told by a Washington repre sentative of the CIO that the at titude of the Oregon convention did not mean that eventually he would not win CIO endorsement. The Oregon lawmaker said he was informed that because of cer tain crltickjm of him at the state convention, it was felt best that there be no action with respect to endorsement until he returns to Oregon for a conference. "Endorsement of me will have to be on my record," Morse said, adding that any conference In the state would contribute nothing If he were expected to make a com mitment. CIO Will Decide On Continuing With WFT Union SEATTLE, Oct. 18.-.T) Offi cials of the International Long shoremen and Warehousemen's union I CIO)) said a special com mittee would be sent to the na tional CIO convention at Cleve land to attempt to keep the un ion within the parent organiza tion. They said the union faces pos sible outsing at the convention over Its affiliation with the World Federation of Trade unions and the Maritime Federation of the World. Harry Bridges Is president of both the Longshoremen's union and the Maritime federation, an affiliate of the WFTU. The CIO withdrew from the latter group, charging It was communist-dominated.
