Brownell Will Speak Tonight On Red Fight Attorney General On Radio And TV To Nation Tonight WASHINGTON UP — Attorney general Herbert Brownell Jr., goes before the nation tonight to make a first-hand report on the Eisenhower administration’s fight against Communism in the United States. Justice department sources said Brownell is expected to call for new measures to beet up the crack down on domestic Reds by the justice department and the FBI. He is also expected to review what has been done to curb Communist activities since the Republicans came to £ower last year. Brownell’s speech at 9 p.m. EST is billed as a follow-up to President Eisenhower’s report to the nation last Monday night. It will be beamed to the nation by radio and television. Justice department officials said that the speech will be completely non partisan. They warned against any speculation that Brownell would release any sensational revelations such as his last November charge that former President Truman promoted former assistant treasury secretpry Harry Dexter White despite FBI reports he was a Russian spy. Instead, they said, Brownell will describe how the Communist party is now operating—as an open party, underground and through Communist fronts —and how the administration is proceeding against it. He is expected to discuss a ruling by the subversive activities control board last April that the Communist party is a Moscow-di-rected organization that should register with the department under the McCarran Communist control act. Justice sources said Brownell also will discuss other phases of the department’s anti-Communist drive such as the prosecutions, begun by the Truman administration, of top Co'minunists under the Smith act. •, "

Says McCarthy Is Threat To Freedom McCarthy Assailed By;Catholic Bishop CHICAGO (UP) — Bishop Bernard J. Sheil of the Roman Catholic Church said today Sen. Joseph R McCarthy (R-Wis.) is a “city slicker” who is threatening American freedoms. The Most Rev. Sheil. auxiliary bishop of Chicago, aUM Ked ~Mc Carthy,. head of a senate 'idvesHgating subcommittee, in a speech before 2.500 delegates to the CIO United Auto Workers’ education conference here. He said he was not speaking for the Catholic church but for himself as a private citizen. McCarthy himself is a Catholic. The Most Rev. Shiel commented on McCarthy’s activities in investigating Communism in the United States and added that "this kind of ridiculous goings-on is seriously described as antl-Communlsm.” "If you will pardon a very lowbrow comment," he added, “I say ‘phooey’.” “In my view.” he said, “we have been victims in the last few years of a kind of shell game. We have been treated like country rubes taken in by a city slicker from Appleton.” Appleton, Wis., is McCarthy’s home town. The prelate described McCarthy as a “man on horseback” threatening American freedoms through investigating tactics he used. He received a standing ovation at the end of his talk and then CIO President Walter Reuther called for the defeat of McCarthy. The prelate reviewed virtually all the controversies involving McCarthy. “Other Catholics take a more kindly view of the public career of the junior senator from Wisconsin and of the effect he is having on the nation," he said. “That certainly is their privilege as it is my privilege to speak as 1 have.” “But although the church takes no position, and will not, on such a matter of public controversy, the church does take'a position on lies, calumny, the absence of charity and calculated deceit,’’ the bishop said. “These .things are wrong—even if they are mistakenly thought of as a means to a good end.” LAN I EL TELLS (Contlaned From Page One) in order to seek a peaceful solution.” | The phrase “in complete liberty” was ominous for Dulles’ hopes of getting France to agree to any stiffening of policy when he makes his emergency visit to'London and Paris early next week.
