Oppose Corsi In Stale Dept. Post Carry Nomination To Floor Os House WASHINGTON (INS) — Rep. Francis E. Walter (D Pa.), said today he will carry his fight against state department immigration consultant Edward Corsi to the floor of the house. Walter declared he will speak out on the subject when congress reconvenes after its Easter recess. Walter heads both the house unAmerican activities committee and the judiciary subcommittee on immigration. but declined to say whether he is considering holding hearings on the Corsi case. The Pennsylvanian, has been battling to keep administration of the controversial McCar-ran-Walter immigration act out of Corsi’s hands, leveled new charges at the state department consultant Monday. He accused Corsi of pledging himself to “junk” the Immigration law, and of preferring “to avoid telling the truth where a lie serves his purpose better." Corsi. a long-time New York state official in the administration of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey- has been named a special assistant to secretary of slate John Foster Dulles, reportedly to administer the immigration and naturalize tion law. Walter said today he will tell the house that he does not believe Corsi is qualified for the post be cause of alleged membership in two Commuhist-front organizations and because of Corsi’s opposition to tbs MeCw ran- Walter act. He also will defend himself vigorously against charges that he is anti-It-alian. He noted in a letter to Rep. Peter Rodino (D N.J.), that he has supported a long list of legislation designed to aid Italy and the Italian people. Pointing out also that Corsi has denied membership in the Redfront groups, Waiter asserted: " . . . My files are replete with documentary evidence testifying to the fact that he was an active member of those questionable groups, which he attempted to disassociate himself with by pointing to his ‘mil itary record.’ consisting of a few months service in a college student training program which was not a part of the armed services.” Walter urged that Corsi not be allowed to administer laws “for which he has expressed contumacious disdain and contempt.” He told Rodino that Corsi never would have won senate confirmation, had it been required for his post, because he inferred that leg | islators are “Nazis and candidates , for an insane asylum.” Trade ip a Good Town — Decatur

The party bigwigs also approved the expulsion from the party of Jao Shu Shih, the party's former organizational chief, and took disciplinary action against seven lesser men, all charged with conspiring to overthrow Mao's ruling politburo. The official Communits newspaper. the Peiping Peoples Dally, referred to the national conference of Red party leaders and said it had brought to light many shortcomings and mistakes, and shown how they could be overcome. The official organ admitted that it was not easy to build a socialist state in such a big country as China where there were so many complicated conditions in a backward national economy. The paper said that it probably will take three five-year plans to build a Socialist society. To build a powerful and highly industrialized Socialist country, it added, would take decades.
