« t PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MADY 8, 1953 ’ Pupils of The Foster Dance School Carol and Mary Ruth Armfield, who will appear in the Foster School of Dance recital at the Newberry High school auditorium Saturday evening at 8:15 p.m. Their dance number is entitled “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not.” Mrs, Davis Hostess Drayton Rutherford Members of Drayton Rutherford chapter gathered at the home of Mrs. T. E. Davis on Tuesday after noon for the regular monthly meeting, Miss Rosabel Thompson was associate hostess. After the salutes to the three flags and the ritual led by the chaplain, Mrs. H. L». Parr, the minutes of the last meeting were read by Mrs. McCullough. The president, MTs. R. D, Wright, told of the meeting of the General U.D.C. Executive meeting in Charlotte recently with about fifty officers and chairmen in at tendance; of the great disappoint ment to South Carolina U.D.C. by the Governor’s veto of the appro priation for the monument at Get tysburg after the bill had been passed unanimously by both hous’es of the Legislature; of the receipt of an invitation to the chapter to attend the annual pic nic at Oakley Park, the “Red Shirt Shrine” on June 5th; and that the Calvin Crozier chapter has arranged the Memorial Day program this time to be given in the First Baptist church on Sun day night, which the members of Drayton Rutherford chapter are expected to attend. A report from the registrar, Mrs. J. E. Wiseman, was that papers have been sent to the Division Registrar for a new member; from the Treasurer, Mrs. Boyd, of $100 in the treasury. Hospitality chair man reported the June meeting would be with Mrs. Cannon and Mrs. Houseal. During the historical period, Mrs. Houseal Norris gave a most interesting account of the origin of Memorial Day, with descrip tions and details that were new to the members. MRS.

C. Daughters led by the Division Historian, Mrs. Feltham of Edgefield in competition for a handsome prize for the win ning Division. It is hoped that every member of Drayton Ruther ford chapter will contribute sever al of these records, since they will be filed and prove valuable for future proof.

Paysinger, Distributor "Sea. McCarthy" ANSWERS Q. Senator, you called the Edi tor of the N. Y. Post before your Committee. What right do you have to investigate newspapers? A. At this time the Committee is hot investigating newspapers. However, we have asked various Government Departments to give us a report on the amounts of tax payers’ money given to any news paper, magazine, etc., as a subsidy. The editor of the N. Y. Post, J. Wechsler, was called on April 24 not because of his connection with the newspaper, but as part of the investigation of the State Depart ment’s Information Program which was set up by the previous Administration. Our investigation has disclosed that the State Department under Acheson purchased thousands of books by authors who had records of Communist activities, and placed those books in libraries throughout the world. This includ ed some of Wechsler’s books, the exact number of which has not yet been determined. Wechsler admitted active par ticipation in the Communist move ment, including a Communist- sponsored trip to Moscow. Under cross-examination, he admitted that two of his books were slanted to follow the Communist Party line. Q. By calling newsmen before your Committee, don’t you think you are endangering freedom of press? A. Nowhere in the history of criminal cases do I find a case of a crooked lawyer using as his de fense the cry that to expose him would endanger the freedom of the legal profession, nor do I find a single case of a crooked banker who was exposed and brought to justice claiming as a defense that his conviction would endanger the freedom of bankers. In fact, honest bankers and lawyers gen erally applaud efforts to clean out their own profession. However, the Communists, left-wingers and mis guided liberals argue that if you expose a crook, a liar, or Com munist in the newspaper profes sion that you are endangering freedom of the press. In my book there is no privileged profession or class of people. A traitor is a traitor regardless of his profession. Q. The N. Y. Post editor claim ed you were trying to intimidate newspapermen. Is that true? A. That claim comes with rath er bad grace from the N. Y. Post editor, in view of the fact that in the first few minutes of the hearing he threatened me with re prisals from the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Even though the N. Y. Post has been waging a smear campaign against me ever since ‘I started to expose Communists in Government — a smear campaign exceeded only by the Communist Daily Worker— % Wechsler was asked no questions whatsoever about those activi ties on his part. I recognize and defend the right of any editor to criticize me or any public official. Q. The testimony of the N. Y. Post editor was taken in executive session. Will it be released to the public? A. Wechsler has been ordered to give the Committee a list of all those whom he knew who were engaged in Communist activities while he was active in the Com munist movement. When this list is received his evidence will be complete, at which time I intend to ask the Committee to make his testimony available to the public. Q. If you are only interested in Wechsler as an author of books which were purchased by the old State Department, why did you question him as to Communists or former Communists working on his paper? And why did you ask him about the N. Y. Post's attacks on those who are fighting Com munism? A. According to Wechsler’s own admission, both he and his wife were active in the Communist movement while he was writing books and editing Communist pub lications. Wechsler now says he has reformed, but the N. Y. Post which he edits attacks the FBI, Congressional Committees now exposing Communists, genuine ex- Communists who take the witness stand for their government, and almost every individual who ex poses Communists. He admitted having on his payroll four people who were either Communist of ficials or followed the Communist line for a period of years. It was necessary, therefore. Mrs. Elliott Gets Director s Award Mrs. Leonard O. Page of Char leston, past vice-president and the new president of S. C. F. W. C. announced at its convention in Charleston, April 30-May 2, North ern District as the winner of the Lila Stanton Lynch Cup, which was awarded to the district hav ing gained Ihe greatest percent age of new federated Clubs dur ing the year. Mrs. F.. Scott El- 1 liott, director of Northern Dist rict, was given a beautiful piece of silver as the director’s award. This is the first time in the avail able history of the district that it has won a cup. Mrs. Elliott became district di rector in Auguat, filling out the unexpired term of Dr. Mamie Sum mer. Mrs. Elliott personally pro moted the organization of the new Literary Study club with the Wo man’s club as the sponsor. That Newberry is federated minded and is interested in help ing to promote through SOFWC objects for the welfare of South Carolina can be seen through the number of clubs belonging to the federation. These and the Civic League, the Woman’s club, The Literary Study club. The Marion Davis club, Mother's club group 1, and Mother’s club, group 2. Mrs. Elliott has contributed gen erously ' of her time and ability since coming to Newberry six and one-half years ago. She has served as president of the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary, unit 24, president of the Woman’s club, and is active in the Calvin Crozier chapter of the UDC rep resenting it as a member of the S. C. Division’s historical commit tee. In her church, the Central Methodist, she serves as presi dent of the WSCS, as student secretary of the Greenwood Dist rict and teacher of the McCullough Bible Class. She is also serving the SCFWC as Epsilon Sigma Omicron chair man. The charter of this sorority was presented on May 1, at the SCFWC convention in Charles ton. . ' for our Subcommittee to examine his activities up to the present time to determine whether or not this man whose books were pur chased by Dean Acheson’s State Department witri taxpayers’ money really has reformed sincie the days when he was a Communist leader. I have been unable ta find much difference in his writ ing from the time he admits he was an officer of the Young Com-< munist League .and his writing in 1953. He condemned those who exposed Communists while he was a Communist. Toclay his main hatred still seems directed against those who are exposing Moscow's fifth column. Q. Harvey Matusow, a former undercover agent for the FBI, testified on October 8, 1952 that there were over one hundred Com munists working on the New York Times. Why haven't you called some of them before your Commit tee? A. As stated above, this partic ular * investigation is concerned with the Information Program set up under the Truman-Acheson ad ministration. I do not have the names of any Communists on the New York Times whose books were distributed by the Informa tion Program. ATTENDS CARtLEDGE- JOHNSTON WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Long, J. B.

MARKING DEVICES for yowv husians and private NEWBERRY SUN Harries, Cottage Cheese, and Cold Cuts JT’ BY DOROTHY MADDOX ’S spring in the kitchen! An attractive platter of cold cuts not only perks up appetites but makes kitchen labor easy and pleasant these firsf balmy days. A good buying guide is to select at least one meat from each of the three “classes” of table-ready meats. Meat Ipaves are some what mild in flavor, often have other ingredients added, such as pickle and pimiento loaf. Sausages include favorites, such as Bologna and Braunschweiger. Dry sausages such as salami are zesty and highly seasoned and the sure choice of most men. For utmost flavor and freshness, buy these meats from refrigerated cases. If the meats are pre-packaged, store them in the refrigerator in their original cello-wrapping. Otherwise, wrap them loosely in waxed paper or foil for refrigerator storage and plan to use them at least within a week of purchase for best flavor and goodness. Although these meats are used more frequently as cold cuts, they are delicious in many cooked dishes, too. Try the following twa recipes in your spring luncheon menus.
