Witgh- Hunting Unwittingly !
“Inspired. by- Murphy and _ FDR. Boomerangs.
‘By LUDWELL DENNY. : Times Special Writer ASHI AON Oct. 30.—The Administration’s belated fight for civil liberties during the emergency coincides with the discovery that the: chief “Red” victims to be a SN. purged by the conservatives - are not Communists but New Dealers. Paradox of the
situation endangering some of the President's pet \ advisers and proj-
wittingly by Mr. Roosevelt and AtMr. Deany > torney General Frank’ Murphy themselves. Their unguarded statements about subversive activities at the beginning of the war handed a patrioteering cléak to New Deal enemies. Naturally the anti-New Deal majority: of the: Dies Committee and others have been taking full ad-| vantage of that Administration opening. For a month Mr. Murphy, who has a long record as a defender of civil liberties and who also once was victimized by ‘the Dies Committee, ‘has been ft to undo the damage of the Administration’s ° September patrioteering. #° "New Dealers on List ~But the President waited until Friday to “declare himself against the heresy- purgers. Then he. described as “sordid procedure” the action - of the "Dies: Committee in publishing an "alleged Federal employee membership and mailing list of the American League for Peace and Democracy. Of course several well-known New Dealers were on the list—most of them, incidentally, not’ members. “In addition to smearing the New : Déal, the conservative tactics also bave the effect of obscuring real law violations... As Rep.. HI Jerry Voorhis of California, the liberal member. of the Dies Committee, laments: “It casts doubt on the findfrigs of the committee” even when they are of the most substantial and friportant sort.” It is now rather generally agreed that, while the Dies Committee has been swinging wild for the headlines and the Administration has been husy holier-than-thouing the comttee, actual law. violators have been neglected... .

The U. S. Army's highest ranking officer, Gen. George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, had returned to Washington today after telling Hoosier reserve officers that “potentially, the United States is the most powerful military nation in the world.” In his first visit to Indianapolis since he was elevated to rank of full general and chief of the General Staff, Gen.

He added that the "last Congress “treated the Army more kindly than it ever before has been treated in time of peace.”
