Four George Sokolsky A A I I PETER EDSON'S Iowa, Monday, April IT. 1150 Washington News Notebook Liberty Bell Replicas From France Will Ring Up Sales in Bond Drive RECAPITULATION The attack on Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin, so far, seems to be focussed upon one point: He is being accused not of sav ing too much but of being il 1 loud aud exaggerative. He is being accused of overstatement, of employing eucn a term as "top spy" when nobody can know actually -who the "top spy" ever is. Maybe so! Joe McCarthy, I am Rure, would rot advertise himself as a delicate powder-puff. He is both Irish and a Marine end that in- Tolves a man in a pattern of life.

My old friend, SOKOLSKY Smedley Butler, was a Quaker. Yet he became a Marines general. 1 once heard him deliver an address to his Marines which had they known about it, have made our State department hilus not only blush but positively crimson. Now, let us see what Senator foe McCarthy's noise has so far accomplished: 1. It forced Deputy Undersecretary Peurifoy to admit that the State department had become a nest of homosexuals and that he had fired 91 of them all subject, because of their vice, to blackmail.

Mr. Peurifoy can probably In truth say that he did it before he heard Joe's bellow, but he kept whatever he did strictly to himself and nobody has yet assured us that these unfortunates have not got jobs elsewhere in the government. 2. He established, through th. Washington (D.

police force that this is only a segment of tL colony of perverts in government 3. He reopened interest in th "Amerasia" case, which is the kej to espionage in the State, Treas iiry, Army, Navy departments and the OSS. WASHINGTON (NEA)--Those 51 full-scale, 1- ton, exact replicas of the Liberty Bell, which will be used in the coming "Independence" Savings Bond drive, had to be made in France because there wasn't any American company that would take the order. There is one U. S.

bell-caster, the Manley company of Troy, N. but it was unable to take the contract and deliver on time. So the order went to the 156-year-old Pecard plant, main industry in the little town of Annecy-le-Vieux, Haute Savoie, in the Alps country. The bells will be cast in an ancient foundry where nearly all the operations in the bell-maker's art are still done by hand. This is the biggest order the town's had in years, and it's booming.

Total cost will be about $108,000, or $2,000 a bell. Six U. S. copper companies furnished the metal, U. S.

Steel and Ford companies are donating the mountings, so the whole promotion stunt won't cost the Treasury a cent. First bells are due in New York today, which happens to be the eve of the 175 anniversary of Paul Revere's ride. All bells will be delivered by mid-May. After the bond drive, one bell will be given to each state and the District of Columbia. Only 49 bells were ordered at first.

Then it was decided bells should be ordered for Hawaii and Alaska, too, since they soon may be states. The Savings Bond people could have ordered iron replicas for around $50 each, but decided it wanted bells that would really ring. Being SO percent copper, they won't crack, and they won't be cast with imitation cracks in them, either. They'll be hand to have around, of course, to ring out and rouse the people to arms against any possible invasion of men from Mars in their flying saucers, although nobody thought of anything like that when the bells were ordered.

Workers, and "Brother" everybody else, all over the place. You never did see so much brotherly love as when the AFL and CIO threw their luncheon in honor of J. H. Oldenbroeck of The Netherlands. He's the secretary-general of the new International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, formed last year in London as a rival of the Communist World Federation of Trade Unions.

Main dish of the cocktails, three-course and salad luncheon was two big lamb chops. Said 'Brother" Oldenbroeck. a round, merry little blue- eyed Dutchman who speaks perfect English, "I suppose one chop was furnished by the AFL and the other by the CIO." Cracked a reporter: "Gravy courtesy of United Mine Workers." AT THE SHIRTSLEEVE LEVEL DEPARTMENT of State diplomacy isn't always conducted at the minister plenipotentiary and ambassador extraordinary level. A South Pacific conference to be held at Suva. Fiji Islands, late in April, lists as one of the American advisers, "High stooges by objecting to a full, impartial, bipartisan investigation into the perils of espionage at a time when espionage has been proved in the Alger Hiss and the Fuchs cases; 5.

He exposed Senator Tyding; as capable of misquoting J. Edya Hoover and of giving a false im pression that the FBI clears persons as though it were a court and not a police department; 6. He blew the top off the State department Far Eastern policy, In this regard: A. He forced Owen Lattimore to give publicity to his own recommendations which many Americans, including myself, will regard as harmful to the United States. B.

He frightened Dean Acheson Ir.to a publicity campaign to separate himself from Lattimore. C. He reopened interest in the Institute of Pacific Relations. D. He reopened interest in 'The Pacific Story," a series of 181 NBC broadcasts to our troops during and after the war.

E. He ended the trickery of the Bangcock conference by which the State department sought a way to recognize Soviet China by indirection. F. He knocked the spots out of the smart trick of bringing Soviet China into the United Nations by majority vote. Much of this Senator Joe McCarthy accomplished by indirection, just as he had nothing to do personally with Dean Acheson's Talking Chief" M.

T. Tuiaososopo. He Is speaker of the Samoan Fono, or legislature, and he learned his law by taking American home correspondence school courses for eight years. Chief U. S.

adviser will be V. p. Home, a mere Navy lieutenant in the Judge Advocate's department, who has a way with the natives. The conference will be mainly about island health and village schools. CIGARET MONEY TO THE BIG BOYS WHEN Judge Leon W.

Miller of Michigan appeared before a Senate committee to testify on rural electrification benefits, he said he got a salary of $95 a month for representing tho co-op in his area. Commented Sen. Homer Ferguson of Michigan, "We are accustomed to retainers of thousands of dollars in the power business, and you kind of shock us with only $95 a month." XEW KIND OP TALBXT-HUNT? MONTGOMERY County, which adjoins District of Columbia, is being troubled by too many squirrels. Washington's unusually open winter is partly to blame. The authorities are therefore setting live traps in the more "squlrrelly" areas, and deporting the excess population to rural areas, to restock the hills for hunters next fall.

When squirrel traps were set on the lawn at the home of Charles G-. Ross, White House press assistant, it was too much for some of his Republican neighbors. They started a gag that "Charlie's trying to catch some new talent for the Fair Deal HIJACKING A HIGHWAY THE Russian generals in Austria have thought up some weird ideas on what constituted a German asset. During the war, the Nazis built an autobahn, or express motor highway across Austria. The Russians conceded that the road itself belonged to tho Austrian people.

But the land under the roadbed, and alongside it on the right- of-way, had been seized by the Nazis, argued the Russians. Therefore this land belonged to the Russians as reparations.

Burma or some other border area. Warfare in this region is now all of the guerrilla variety. It involves mostly small arms, grenades, mines and small bore mortars or mountain artillery that can be carried on human backs or pack animls over trails. NO QUARTER CHARACTER of anti-Communist warfare in Asia is now best indicated by the type of fighting along the 3Sth parallel in Korea. A band of say 200 Communists will cross the line from Russia" Korea in the north, and set up a strong point for raiding operations.

Against this center some 2 000 Southern Korean police and troops have to be concentrated. They surround the area and then close in, beating the bush as though they were after big game, till every commie is wiped" out. DID OU HEAR THAT?
