Wednesday, February 27. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Menon Becomes Issue In India Elections; Defended by Nehru New Delhi, India (U.RJV. K Krishna Menon, India's chief United Nations delegate and Premier Jawaharlal Nehru's per sonal envoy abroad, has become an election issue back home. Nehru has personally inter vened to defend Menon in the 18-day parliamentary elections which began last Sunday. Although Menon has lived mainly abroad for the past 30 years, a district for him to repre sent was found in industrial North Bombay. Nehru's ruling Congress party made the issue there a test case a vote against Nehru himself. Menon is expected to win his seat despite the criticism of his handling of the Hungarian and Kashmir issues before the Unit ed Nations. Menon came under fire on grounds that, at the time he was Communists Said Losing Prestige Washington U.R The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee said today the Communist party lost prestige but not power last year. The subcommittee made the statement in the first section of its annual report, released today. Eleven other sections will follow. "Soviet activity in the United States has continued without abatement in many forms during the past year," the report said. It said.it learned of "few if any important defections" from the Communist party and "no noticeable impairment of their power," even though the pres tige of Communism in the Unit ed States and the world slipped badly after Soviet suppression of the Hungarion revolt. "Strategic labor unions astride the vitals of our national defense remain firmly in the clutches of unregenerate Communists," the subcommittee said without iden tifying the unions.

Accused of 'Utter Mess' M. R. Dandavate, secretary of the Socialist party which is op posing the Congress party in the elections, has accused Menon of making an "utter mess" of the Kashmir issue. D. F. Karaka, a leading journ alist, has lambasted Menon in bitter terms and said, "Let Men cn wipe out the stains of Hun gary" and then ask for votes. Nehru's brother-in-law, Raja Hutheesingh, has demanded that Menon be fired for "pro-Communist leanings." He has said that Menon "is a wrong man in the wrong place," Is short-tempered and full of vanity and has "shocked the conscience" of the Indian people, A. D. Gorwala, a former civil service officer, has argued that Menon has a "widespread repu tation as a Soviet partisan, high ly detrimental to the interests of India." Brilliant Performance Nehru has stood behind Men on, speaking of Menon's "bril liant performance" in the United Nations and endorsing Menon for integrity, honesty and abil ity. The Commuists officially op pose Menon, but many political observers believe that a number of Reds will actually vote for him. In addition, Menon's foe, Socialist Peter Alvares, is con sidered a weak candidate. Menon,. 59, collapsed while speaking in the United Nations last week, but resumed speaking a few hours later. His doctor said Menon had a "coronary insufficiency."
