THE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Liberty Lobby Has Friends In High Places By DREW PEARSON AND JACK ANDERSON of the most interesting groups scheduled to testify against the Soviet-American consular treaty is the Liberty Lobby, whose founder, Willis Carto, has maintained: "Hitler's defeat Was the defeat of Europe; and America." Sen Karl Mundt, R-S. the most vigorous opponent of treaty ratification who has been insistent that the Liberty I-obby testify, once appeared on the Liberty Lobby's radio series, "Congress Calling." Join- Ing him on this series were Sen. Everett Dirksen, and Frank Lausche, D-Ohio, both members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee and both critics of the consular pact. These senators may not be fully aware of the Liberty Lobby's background; therefore should be interested in certain private correspondence exchanged between the top Liberty lobbyists. The Liberty Lobby, incidentally, has brought suit in the U.

S. District Court to prevent our publication of these documents, but was overruled. The chairman of the Liberty Lobby, Curtis B. Dall, former son-in- law of the late Franklin Roosevelt, also brought a libel suit for $2 million against this column when we described his Senate testimony opposing another trade treaty, the Trade Expansion Act, as anti- Semitic. Dall lost the libel suit both in the lower court, the U.

S. Court Appeals, and on appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. RULES OF LIBERTY LOBBY On the Liberty Lobby's policy board are such ultra right-wingers ffs Joseph P.

Kamp of Westport, founder of the Constitutional Education League; Tyler Kent, imprisoned in the Tower of London during the war for having given information to the enemy which a member of the American embassy staff; R. G. Johnson of Rogers, author of "Patriots of Northern Karl Prussion of San Diego, the famous Red baiter; Lt. Col. Frederick A.

Kibbe, founder of the Florida Minutemen; Major Arch E. Roberts of Ft. Collins, author of Gen. Edwin Walker's pro-blue program; Lt. Gen.

George E. Stratemeyer, the right-wing retired Air Force general, and Lt. Gen Sumter L. Lowery of Tampa, who once ran for governor of Florida. On the secret board which controls the Liberty Lobby is Kenneth Goff, a former Communist who later teamed up with rabble-rousing anti-semitic Gerald L.

K. Smith. But the founder, mainspring, and brains of the Liberty Lobby 5s Willis Carto, who has written a series of secret letters which this column has obtained. In one letter to Norris Holt, a right-whig leader of Sausalito, Carto wrote: "There are six hundred million Chinese and about two hundred million Russians. All united in a determination to desctroy the West.

And we have been so misled that we live in a dream world- far away from reality. Hitler's defeat was the defeat of Europe; and America. "How could we have been so blind? The blame, seems, must be laid at the door of the international Jews. If Satan himself with all of his superhuman genius and diabolical ingenuity at his command, had tried to create a permannt disintegration and force for the destruction of the nations, he could have done no better than to invent the Jews." RUSSIAN CONSPIRACY According to the Liberty Lobby, the Johnson administration does not want to win the war in Vietnam and is part of a Russian conspiracy, not to win. "Liberty Letter," described as a "confidential Washington report supplied only to Liberty Lobby pledgers," recently wrote to those who had contributed money to the Lobby: "Our government does not want to win Liberty Lobby has in its possession a report on the existence ot a secret agreement between the Washington regime and the Kremlin which has never been ratified by the which indeed is not even known to the vast majority of officials in Washington, but which explains perfectly the reason why he cannot win." These are some of the nice people which Senators Mundt, Dirksen, and Lausche indirectly supported when they appeared on the Liberty Lobby's radio program.

These senators should read the amazin correspondence which Liberty Lobby founder Carto has carried on with such people as Robert B. Patterson, secretary of the White Citizens' Council of Mississippi, Judge Tom Brady of the Supreme Court Of Mississippi, and Archbishop C. C. Addison, a Black Muslim leader. In some of the correspondence Carto projected the "Joint Council for Repatriation of Negroes Mack to also blamed the Jews for stirring up racial problems.

He stated: "The strangest of all things and the most unfair of all the unfair things brought on by Jewish control of American politics concerns the alleged recipient of buckets and buckets of hypocritical Jewish concern and American Negro! "Jewish control over so-called Negro organizations like the NAACP and the Urban League is so complete that only few white Americans realize the truth about the fantastic trickery which brought this about." The fact that Carto had influence with influential people is indicated Junior Editors Quiz on- TREE SAP WHEN TIME TO "SUGA1? OFF" WATER EVAPORATES PROM LEAVES QUESTIONS Since -water runs downhill, how does sap flow upward in trees? ANSWER! Although we do not sea It, a great deal of moisture is constantly being evaporated Into the air from the leaves of ees. This evaporation acts to pull up sap through the outer, soft sapwood of the tree trunk. The water molecules are attracted to each other. As water is lost frrm the leaves, there is a kind of chain movement in which more water molecules are lifted up. It is said that an apple tree can lift up four gallons of water an hour in this way, overcoming the force of gravity as it does so.

You might question this explanation by pointing out that there are no leaves to evaporate water in early spring. Yet it is in the spring that the sap starts running up the trunks of the maple trees, which workers in states such as Vermont gather for raak- ing maple syrup, Our reply is that there are other ways in which water is forced up inside trees besides evaporation from leaves. The one which works particularly in spring is called root pressure, in which water is sucked in by the roots and forced up. This is what is sending the maple sap up inside the Holes are drilled in the the cap drips out into buckets, (Cindy Coot of BtffttngtoH, Vt. wlnt tito wetKi grand prize of a 15-volumt tet of Corny ton's Pictured Encyclopedia for this question.

Editorial (Comment NO UTOPIA FOR TERMITE It is probable that no living creature has more reason to crave privacy than the termite. Once a termite's activities become unclassified, he's in trouble. A sawdust pile by the woodwork, the homeowner panics, calls the exter minator, and You can imagine, then, how the termite must feel now that his privacy has been invaded, and invaded but good. The invader is Dr.

Alastair M. Stuart, a zoologist at North Carolina State University. Stuart lias bored into termitian affairs until he knows their social behavior, their government, their communications system. He has also learned that termites not only recognize their friends, hut know their enemies as well. "Termites," he reports, "live in a sort of democracy.

They even have what amounts to a military draft." "When danger threatens the nest, a general decision is made as to how many and which termites will be sent out to combat that danger." If any termite draftees have burned their draft cards, did not report it. He does, however, have a word of consolation for some husbands. Termites, he says, live under petticoat rule, too. They are governed by a queen termite who stands for no nonsense, back talk or hanky- panky. All in all, Stuart makes life in termiteland sound well-organized and even exciting.

Even at that, things can't be too Utopian for the termite. Not only has his privacy now been invaded, but his steady job of eating up woodwork just has to be boring and gnawseous. SPRINGHILL By MRS.
