Legion Chiefs
Here Demand
Call for Jailings And Trials Follows
N. Y. Convictions By JOHN V. WILSON National and state leaders of the American Legion thumped the drum here last night for the immediate arrest and trial of all known Communists in the United States.
Proposals to ferret out Communists and to review all subversive elements in the nation reached a high pitch on the eve of the final meeting of the Leglon’s Indiana commanders today. Alex Campbell, assistant United States Attorney General and today's speaker at a Legion post dedication, refused to comment on the Legion's communism stand.
Mr. Campbell, who supervised the prosecution of the 11 Communist leaders, pointed out that the convictions would not launch a nationwide “witch hunt.”
‘No Witch Hunts’ “These cases were handled in the same routine manner as in any other criminal case,” said Mr. Campbell. “In the subversive investigations directed by the Attorney General, there have been no witch hunts and there will be no witch hunts.” Angered by the defiance of Ben Cohen, secretary of the Marion County Communist Party, both national and state Legion officials asserted they would call for Mr. Cohen's arrest “first.” Yesterday Mr. Cohen defied Legion officials who called for his arrest as the result of the conviction of 11 Communist leaders in 8 federal trial. He said the Marion| County Communist Party would! ‘tight for its rights as a legal political party.” Craig's Statement George . Craig of Braz, American Legion national commander, told The Times last! night: “We call for the arrest of all Communists who seek to destroy the principles of government for which in two wars American soldiers fought and died.” He described the Communists’
of what the American Legion has been fighting for for 31 years." “It is a great victory for the people, Mr. Craig said. 8. Kaplan, Gary attorney and chairman of the : 's Un-American Activities “Committee, fired back at Mr. Cohen,
“Cohen's attitude,” he said, is exactly what we expected. It is the attitude of all Communists.” In an interview at the Athletic Club, Mr. Campbell termed the Communist convictions as “one of the most important” of the cent Communist cases, ranking it with the Judy Coplon prosecution. He declined to comment on how the convictions would affect Communist newspapers, particularly the Dally Worker in New York City. “We still have and will always have freedom of the press as guaranteed by the Constitution,” he said.
