THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1955 Communist Bibliography Revision Interpreted By AL KLIMCKE The bibliography on the Communist problem in the United States is not being revised because of any wave of public opinion, nor in cognizance of the legitimacy of any of the criticisms directed against it, according to Clinton Rossiter, dirleor of the long range study on Communism which produced the publication. Rather, the work is• being revised and expanded, Rossiter said prior to his lecture in the Liberal Arts series Tuesday night, because its original plan called for such a revision. The bibliography, a collection of dissertations for and against Communism, has been accused, in Rossiter's own words of, "slanting in behalf of Communism" because of the omis sion of what some critics consider some of the most damaging antiXommunist material pub- • lished. The 474 page work is part of the $550,000 study of, Communism being promotedby the contro versial fund the Republic . .cre-. ated , by the ForkFoundationlo • OM Pr the puTpoOdd'of advahcing the etude Of civil liberties in: the United States. . Bonner stated' emphatically that the bibliography was del tined fog revision _ even before its present eminence. This, he said, was to allow for the• nat .ural margin of error to be ex pected in - any work of such • scope. When asked which of the criti, cisms thus far directed against the publication he considered un founded and unwarrented, the di minutive by dynamic political sci entist replied with a curt and emphatic, "All of them!" "If the charges leveled at the bibliography, reflecting as they do on the security . of men of such obvious integrity and rep utation as those who helped compile it, were not completely ridiculous." Rossiter said, "they would certainly be libelous.'". Actually, he said, there have been only three formal criticisms of the -bibliography,. only one of which was in published form. The other two, he said, were contained in letters to hhn which "should have been sent to someone else." The most persistent current critic of the 'fund for the Re public is the Washington news commentator, Fulton Lewis Jr., who ' has termed it, "an ill-dis guised slush fund . . . dedicated to the lighting of any or all at tempts to ferret out Communist intrigues and espionage agents." Lewis has been particularly concerned with the fund's Com munist study directed by Ros siter, whom he has called, "an extreme liberal." Lewis does nit like the fact that in study ing Communist influence in the United States, Rossiter inter viewed Earl Browder, former head of the Communist party in the United States, and paid Browder for the interviews. Rossiter described Browder sim ply as "a man paid to comment on issues placed before him." "My only contact with Browder," Ros siter said, "has been in those in terviews. We are - not 'buddies'!" Rossiter said he interviewed Browder simply because he was the most obvious source of in formation •on Communism in the United Steles, and. that he paid Browder. !'becaule he asked for pay."

As an Example of an international interest of NSA, Smoot mentioned that it is dis cussing a student exchange pro gram with Russia and the McCar ran-W alt e r Immigration Act which, he claims; does not allow foreign students to re-enter the country if they leave.
