UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JF) The Soviet Union proposed
Tuesday the United Nations set up a Korean Peace Conference made

One paper which has been rid
ing Joe McCarthy hard is the
New York Post whose editor,
James Wechsler, in his callow
days was a Young Communist.
Long ago he recanted and has
been fighting Communism Stung
by the Post's jibes at his inquisi
torial methods, McCarthy called
Wechsler before his committee to
interrogate him about some fo his
books which, had been found in
U. S. overseas libraries. Only Joe
really never got around to asking
about the books because he didn't
know what they were, whether
they were books written during
WechslerV Communist days or
afterwards. But McCarthy soon
found he had tried to bell a bob
cat Before he got through he was
the one who was scratched.
Contending that he was called
not because of bis authorship of
some books that got into the over
seas libraries but for the purpose
of intimidating him as Post edi

Society, of Newspaper Editors to
read the transcript and see if the
McCarthy interrogation wasnl 'a
threat to freedom of the press.
The eleven-man committee named
to study the case couldn't agree
on such a conclusion, and "re
manded" the transcript to the at
tention of all editors. Four com
mitteemen however, Bill Tugman
of the Eugene Register-Guard
among them, signed a separate
report stating they regarded the
