National Lawyers Guild To Face Inquiry by Subversives Board fa By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The Na tional Lawyers Guild; which seemed always to be too hot for the Roosevelt or Truman ad m i nistrations to handle, is about to come to judgment. The guild has not .been judged yet or, of course, con v i c t e d. But Lyi c tvuson there is soaa evidence that the organization was whomped up nearly 20 years ago to serve the purposes of the Communist Party. It may have changed stripes since. If so. the guild has nothing to fear from the inquiry to which it now is subject by the Subversive Activ ities Control Board. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. ordered the guild in 1953 to register as a Commu nist - dominated organization. The guild's appeal against that order was in the courts until this week when the Supreme Court threw it out. Was Overlooked Regularly Attorneys general under former- Presidents' Roosevelt and Truman did cite a large number of organizations as Communist fronts. But the guild consistent ly was overlooked although its record of Communist-front ac tivities was notorious. A. A. Berle Jr., Justice Ferdi nand .Pecora, both of New York City, were among the organiz ers of the guild. Another was the late Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson. Berle, Pecora, Jackson and many others got out quickly when they discovered the Com munist taint "The National Lawyers Guild was formed," said Berle in his letter of resignation, "in the hope that expression might be given to the liberal sentiment in the American bar. "It is now obvious that the present management of the guild is -: not prepared to . take any stand which conflicts with the Communist Party line. I have no further interest in : it" Elct4 Guild President Pecora had been elected guild president before he got the word and quit. The guild was a slickly disguised outfit with - enough muscle to prevent a citation dur ing the Roosevelt and Truman administrations despite its public record. , J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI have been prime guild targets since its ' organization. Hoover has eaused the Communist Party a great deal of trouble and the party line always has been to get rid of him and the FBI,; too, if possible. The guild nibbles away on that one but without doing much damage. . The House Committee on Un American Activities took a long look at the guild during World War II, and reported: "The National Lawyers Guild was founded on Feb. 19-22, 1937 at a convention held in the Wash ington Hotel in Washington, D. C. Although originally pro moted as a professional organi sation ef liberal lawyers, Its record hat proven that it actual ly is just one more highly de ceptive Communist - operated front organization, primarily in tended to serve the interests of the Communist Party of the United States."
