Bill Outlawing Reds Passes State Senate
Proposal Approved
By 46-0 Vote;
House to Get Bill
HARRISBURG, Nov. 27—(W)—
A bill outlawing the Communist
party in Pennsylvania by name
was passed unanimously tonight
by the Senate.
The measure, submitted under
bi-partisan sponsorship, went
back to the House for •action on
Senate amendments.
The bill was introduced in the
General Assembly with the back
ing of state supreme court justice
elect, Mich a - e 1 A. Musmanno
(D-Pit).
The anti-Communist bill would
impose a maximum jail sentence
of 20 years or a maximum fine of
$lO,OOO on anyone "who partici
pates in the revolutionary activi
ties
of the Communist party."
Merely Police Action
Sen. Hugh J. McMenamin (D-
Lackawanna) termed the bill "the
landmark of the 1951 , General
Assembly."
"This bill is merely a. police
action," he told the Senate. "It
is not the final step to eliminate
Communism but it is certainly
a necessary one."
Musmanno, in a statement, said
the measure, if • finally enacted
"will ring down the curtain on
the Communist party in Pennsyl
vania." •
"It is utterly fantastic'," he said,
"that while Communists are kill
ing our boys in Korea we have
been permitting Communists in
Pennsylvania to maintain head
quarters and use our facilities
to help in that murdering busi
ness.", _
Called Unconstitutional
The bill was revised in the
Senate to meet objections raised
by the State Justice Department.
The Department claimed the
measure in its original state was
"unconstitutional."
The bill would•
1. -Make it unlawful for the
Communist party to receive any
of the privileges of an incorpor
ated body in the state.
2. Prohibit membership in the
party in Pennsylvania.
3. Prohibit anyone from taking
part in the "revolutionary activi
ties" of the Communist party.
4. Make it illegal to be a mem
ber of -any 'organization whose
purpose is •to overthrow the
United States government.

Subversives
PARIS, Nov. 27—(JP)—The UN
steering committee tonight recom
mended a General Assembly
hearing of Russia's charge that
the United States is financing
subversive activity in Commu
nist states through the 1951 mu
tual security act.
The 'United States urged the
hearing, saying it "has nothing to
hide, has had nothing to. hide,
and will have nothing to hide."
There was no record vote in
the 14-member committee.
However U.S. Ambassador Er
nest A. Gross and Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
dueled briefly over Vishinsky's
declaration that the security act
finances subversive action in the
-Russian bloc and thus constitutes
aggression.

News. Bias Blamed
In MacArthur Firing
NEW YORK, Nov. 27—(JP)—"Biased, prejudiced and inaccurate"
news coverage of the Korean war contributed to the firing of Gen.
Douglas Mac Arthur, his former chief of intelligence asserted today.
The charge was made by retired Major-Gen. Charles Willoughby
in the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
He accused,six newspapermen and three news magazines of
reporting which "created an at
mosphere of tension, uneasiness
and distrust between Tokyo and
Washington. This is believed to
have 'been a major cause for the
MacArthur-Truman split."
' Willoughby said the six cor
respondents also gave "aid and
comfort to the enemy." The men
he named were•
Deny Charges
Joseph Alsop, syndicate colum
nist; Hanson Baldwin, military
correspondent of the New York
Times; Homer Bigart, war cor
respondent of the New York Her
ald Tribune; Hal Boyle, war, cor
respondent- and columnist of the
Associated Press; Drew Pearson,
syndicate columnist; and Christo
pher Rand, former member of
the Herald Tribune staff in Korea,
since resigned.
( They denied Willoughby's
charges, and reiterated their be
liefs that faulty intelligence re
ports by him preceded the UN
surprise setback in Northern
Korea last year.

Allies, Communists Split
On Two Truce Issues
MUNSAN, Korea; Wednesday, Nov. 28—(W)—Allied and Com
munist negotiators were divided today on two major issues in their
attempt to work out a plan for supervising a Korean armistice.
At stake were United Nations proposals for (1) joint truce in
spection teams free to roam Korea from the Manchurian border to
the southern tip of the peninsula
and (2) a ban against military
buildups.
The Communists did not im
mediately reject the seven-point
UN plan which included these
provisions but their chief dele
gate, Maj. Gen. Nim 11, said his
side thought they were matters
that should be settled by a high
level conference after an armis
tice is arranged.
Cease-Fire
Gen. Nam. Il
Week, and U.S. News and World
Report of having "appeared to
go out of their way to 'create de
featist thought patterns, and to
belittle the country's-armed
forces."
Berates Tribune
As against these accusations,
Willoughby said the press as
sociations were "generally ao,
curate and balanced." But the
ex-intelligence chief said "the en
tire' Herald Tribune crowd, with
the possible exception of th e
beauteous Marguerite H i g gin s,
seemed. bent on castigating their
own army."
Correspondents, replying to Wil
loughby, said they had criticized
Willoughby's work as an intelli
gence officer in Korea last year.
And they said they had attacked
MacArthur for his strategic
moves, which preceded the sud
den withdrawal from the Yalu
river region, last year.
'But they denied having criti
cized the UN army, as such, or
the actions of th e individual
soldiers.
