PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN McCarthy "Sm. McCarthy" ANSWERS Q. Senator McCarthy, your Committee has been investigating the manipulation of the Austrian Schilling in 1949. Why is your Committee interested in what went on in Austria? A. At that time the United States was pouring a great amount of money into Austria. Witnesses have testified that in connection with the revaluation of the Austrian Schilling the Inter national Monetary Fund was being used to help the Soviets and in jure both the interest of Austria and the United States. One of the witnesses was Gabriel T. Kerekes, former U. S. Chief of Trade and Finance in Austria. Q. How did the U. S. come to be involved In the first place in the revaluation of Austrian mon ey? A. The United States became obligated when it became a mem ber of the International Monetary Fund. This Fund is an organiza tion—now composed of 54 mem ber nations—which was born at the San Francisco United Nations Conference, approved at the Bret- ton Woods Conference, and legal ized by the 79th Congress. The money available to this organiza tion totals between 8 and 9 bil lion dollars, a large amount of which was furnished by the United States. Frank Coe, a former teacher, was appointed Secretary of the Interivational Monetary Fund in ,1946 at $20,000 a year. He held that position until very recently. The testimony before the Com mittee was that while Coe was Secretary of the International Monetary Firtid, the Fund was used to the advantage of Soviet Russia and to the detriment of the United States. Q. Was Coe either a Com munist or an espionage agent while he headed the International Monetary Fund? A- The sworn testimony taken before a number of Committees is to the effect that Coe was an espionage agent and part of Eliza beth Bentley’s spy ring at the time It was operating. Coe was asked whether he was a member of the Communist Party when he appeared before the Committee on Friday, June 5th. He refused to answer on the ground that a truthful answer might tend to in criminate him. When asked whe ther he was a Communist espion age agent while Avorking for the Government and while heading the International Monetary Fund, he again refused to answer on the ground that if he were to tell the truth it might tend to incriminate him. Incidentally, Coe also refused to answer whether he was a mem ber of the Communist Party and whether he had recruited mem bers into the Communist Party when he held high-salaried jobs in the Treasury Department, the Joint War Production Board, the Board of Economic Warfare, the Foreign Economic Administration and the International Monetary Fund. He also refused to tell the Com mittee whether or not, while he was teaching in various colleges, he had attempted to induce his students to join the Communist Party. He refused to answer on the ground that the answer might tend to incriminate him. Q. Did you give the Tydings Committee any information on Frank Coe? A. Yes. In that connection, let me quote from the hearings on June 5th of this year: “Senator McCarthy: Mr. Coe, in 1950 I named you before the Tyd ings Committee. I pointed out that while you technically were not in the State Department, you had been in the Foreign Economic Administration, closely related to Kg: Save $40 to $50 We are moving* tc new location 1309 Main Street on July 1.

Decoded InfefligffcM •saag—oi ‘.xouounnoD—6 ‘8—8 pueiO - -f. Matron—9 —5 'jraajBui-MOJJV—f *sju®H Z 'H Z PIO I By TED KESTING In plug casting the reel is much the most important piece of equip ment. It may be taken as axio matic that the best reel for any given purpose is the one having the lightest spool that will not prove too fragile for it. We can take it as a second axiom that a spodl works most efficiently when it has the most line that it will hold without brushing the pillars. However, when choosing a reel theories must be modified by that most unpredictable of all factors, “the personal equation.” Manual dexterity, including the ability to learn delicate thumbing, varies greatly with individuals. Some anglers get much more practice than others. And no one can learn to cast with perfect, ma chinelike efficiency. In practice the ordinary angler would find that with the reel theoretically most perfect he could do nothing but backlash; it would be too fast for him. He must slow It down. So, for those who don’t get to fish a great deal there has been developed the anti backlash, which greatly reduces and sometimes almost eliminates the tendency to backlash. The man who fishes a good deal or who is long on manual dex- State; that you were holding a tremendously Important position at that time. And after that, the Tydings Committee found you simon - pure — found that my charges against you and others were a ‘fraud and a hoax.' I would like to ask you whether or not in 1950 you were engaged in espionage?” “Mr. Coe: The answer is that under advice of counsel and under the protection of the Fifth Amend ment, I decline to answer the ques tion.” “Senator McCarthy: One other question. Last fall, I publicly re ferred to you as an espionage agent during some of my speeches, and some of my questionable friends of the press referred to that as ‘another wild McCarthy chargeand as ‘an irresponsible charge.’ Was that statement I made that you were an espionage agent true or false?” “Mr. Coe: Mr. Chairman, on ad vice of counsel, and under the pro tection of the Fifth Amendment, I will respectfully decline to answer.” “Senator Mundt: Mr. Coe, if you think it is an irresponsible state ment, you are missing a wonder ful opportunity, with all the mem bers of the press here, to sub stantiate your position by denying under oath that you were an espi onage agent. You have the privil ege of making that denial now, if you care to.” However, Coe still refused to answer or. the ground of self- incrimination. It is interesting to note that Coe fregly admitted knowing a number of non-Communists In Government. But when questioned about Owen Lattimore, Dean Ache- son’s Far Eastern expert, now under indictment for perjury, and Philip Jessup, former Ambassa dor at - Large under Harry Truman, he refused to even tell whether he knew thfcm on the ground that his answer might tend to incriminate him. Even though Coe has been de nied a passport, he has recently travelled to Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Nassau. When asked wheth er while ifa Mexico he discussed with any member of the Commun ist Party the smuggling of arms into Central America, he again refused to answer on the ground that his answer might tend to in criminate him. Thus we have a picture of another of the Government experts who was “smeared” by McCarthy- ism. terity should learn to cast with out this device to get greatest accuracy, distance and ease in casting; he should learn to use a free-running reel. (According to Jason Lucas, a free-running reel does not mean a free-spool but a regular one with the antibacklash device not in operation and the end caps so loose that one can feel a s.’ight click when the spool is shaken sidewise.) The average angler who doesn’t get to fish nearly as much as he’d like to should by all means use his antibacklash. But he should realize before buying a reel that the less the total-spool-and-crank- weight, the lighter he can set the antibacklash to counteract inertia —so the more accuracy, the farth er, and with the least effort he can cast. The usual way to set an anti backlash is first to tighten it, and then to loosen it gradually until the plug slides down slowly from the tip with the rod held about horizontal, and perhaps shaken a trifle. For one who casts roughly or jerkily, the setting must be tighter; as smoothness increases with practice, it can be determin ed only by experimenting—but re member that if you never back lash, the setting is too heavy and will hinder your casting. SUNDAY'S SERMON Rev. Robert n. znurper Tbs Practice of Christian Liberty. Lesson for June 21: Galatians 5: 11-18; 5: 22-6: 5. Golden Text: Galatums 5: 13. Christian liberty is not merely a subject for theological discus sion. It is a blessed experience to be enjoyed every day. Thus we flnH Paul urging the Galatians to enjoy Christian liberty, but not to use it as license for not doing things required of them hi the way of living and service. Faith in Christ does not cancel the law of righteousness, but it establishes the law. James writes that faith without works is dead. So faith should be the beginning and the continuing support of a life of godliness. And faith should lead men to depend upon the Holy Spirit to guide them into the way of all truth. As many as are led by the Spirit of God win not fail to reach the light. So Paul in conclusion stresses the power of the Spirit as the in spiration and support of Christian living. By the Spirit, a man will be loving, forgiving, and marked by self-control. In such living by the Spirit there will be no place for vain-glory, but humility, and sympathy toward others will have an important place. MRS.

Modern Soil And Water Conservation By SHIRLEY RINGER (Newberry High 4-H Club) Now, for the first time, conser- .vation of land, water, woodland, grass, cultivated crops and wild life are being t\ed together and protected according to the nature of the ’and and its needs. This is the basis of modern soil and water conservation. Through soil erosion ,we are losing close to five billion tons of soil materials from fields, past ures, abandoned areas, and wood land each year. Not all of this ma terial is carried into the sea. Much of it is deposited on lower slopes, over alluvial flood plains, and in ditches, canals, harbors, and res ervoirs.' Drainage of fertile land is an important part of soil and water conservation. Open ditches, deep and shallow, and tile drains are most commonly used on potential ly productive cropland that is waterlogged. During the past few years * farmers cooperating with soil conservation districts have drained more than five miL lion acres of farm land. Good woodland management means cutting for lumber, pulp- wood, fuel and other purposes and at the same time keeping a stand of growing trees. Farmers in soil conservation districts have properly managed and protected more than fifteen million acres of woodland since the first district was organized in 1937. The greatest of all conservers is grass. Hundreds of thousands of acres of our rolling and hill side agricultural lands should be taken cut of cultivation and put into permanent pasture. Grass preserves the soil from erosion by wind and rain. A good crop rotation is a basic requirement for soil and. water conservation on cultivated land. It consists of different crops in a regular system that will reduce erosion and keep the land produc tive.
