Anderson said also that, despite "a tremendous war scare apparent in Washington, D.C, congres sional hearings on such proposals as Atlantic Union, to unite on democratic front, are .showing progress. A director for the local AU com mittee, he attended some of the hearings and talked with former supreme court Justice Owen J. Roberts, a backer of the move ment. He quoted Roberts as say ing "Actually, I have very little fear of war right now. Russia would be downrght foolsh to get into shooting war when by her present tactics she is so success fully getting everything she wants." Anderson also found two top state department officials who were favorable to the AU propos al, at variance with state depart ment policies. After talking with several re publican leaders in Washington and New York, the Salem man. past president of the Oregon Young Republican federation, said some members of congress are in cluded in the push for new repub lican leadership.
