REPORT FROM WASHINGTON Un-Americans retaliate against report's outhor T= UN-AMERICAN Activi- ties Committee has retali- ated against one of its recent critics—John Cogley, former executive editor of Common- weal, Catholic lay magazine. Cogley is the author of a report on blacklisting in the U.S. entertainment industry made public last week. The report details how entertain- ers named before the commit- tee as alleged Communists were subsequently fired by the movie industry and _ other media. The report was prepared under auspices of the Fund for the Republic, a Ford Founda- tion agency. The Fund has long. been a target by the commit- tee. Committee chairman Francis E. Walter said~he wanted to quiz Cogley at a closed ses- sion, July 10 to determine the “purpose” of-the Fund and the report. In a formal statement Walter insinuated that sub- versive “influences” were at work in the Ford agency. Fund officials said the re- port simply presented facts on black listing in the entertain- ment industry and did not level any charges or express any opim.ons. The committee had been scheduled to hold public hear- ings on the Fund’s activities last week to determine, as Walter expressed it, whether the Fund is “friend or foe” in the struggle against “com- A week before the were scheduled to munism.” hearings start, Walter postponed them indefinitely. By HAZEL WIGDOR Duplessis even robbed lea of opposition party of vo T happened on June 20, in Montreal, during the Quebec elections. And if such a brazen act could succeed in the case of Therese Casgrain, it’s not hard to imagine how much more ditry stuff was pulled to make possible the sweeping re-election of Premier Maurice Duplessis and his Union Na- tionale, even though they got only about half the popular vote. : It was early in the day, about 9 a.m. Mme. Casgrain went to her polling place in her home constituency of Notre-Dame-de-Grace. Some- thing must have been expect- ed, which points to a rum deal being well prepared, because television cameramen were al- ready on the spot. There was no ballot for Mme. Casgrain. Two women scrutineers told her she could not vote. “Why?” asked Mme. Cas- grain, when she found her name had been struck off the voters’ list. : “Have you lived in Quebec for four years?” the scrutin- eers countered. She laughed. It seemed like such a ridiculous question. She is the widow of the former Judge Pierre Casgrain, and she herself has been well known in her own right for many years. Besides being one of Quebec’s champions for the women’s suffrage which was won in 1940, she is also the leader of the Social Demo- cratic Party (CCF) in Quebec, and was a candidate herself in the suburban constituency of Jacques Cartier. Ridiculous as it sounds, that must have been precisely why her opponents saw to it that she should have no vote. It is an action tinged with revenge. I feel it is a blow in the face to every Canadian Woman, and especially to the women of Quebec, as if it were saying: “There, see.what you ge : THERESE CASGRAIN get for fighting, for the right to vote!” Is this an exaggeration? Was she but one of thousands who were cheated in one way or another of their right to vote? I can easily believe that there might have .been thousands, but I do not think it exagger- ation to say hers was a special case, specially prepared. A. W. R. Moxon, the re- turning officer for her con- stituency said, “Her right to vote was questioned because she is a candidate in Jacques Cartier.” ‘ Mme. Casgrain replied, “By law I am obliged to vote in the constituency in which I live, ana not where I am contesting an election.” ; Certainly any returnif ficer must know that, ? should be released frol office as incompetent. # came up with another @ He claimed that the bol revisors for Notre-Dal Grace had sent Mme: C -notice by registered mall ing her to appear but tice was returned undelif In such cases, he said, no alternative but to str name from ‘the list.

Casgrain “a ed, “I don’t think that actly the right word for? man who is leading 25 ¢ dates in the election and candidate herself.” It’s more likely the sign® wishful thinking of the! who want her retired. They would like to tired the rising spirit 0 -men’s militancy.

May they heat? ‘ you too? 2 became the lords of crea- tion, the most terrible flesh and bone engines of des- truction nature has ever created. Yet they perished because they could not con- trol their changing environ- ment. The twilight of the Age ‘ of Reptiles was at once the dawn of the Age of Mam- mals, whose highest pro- duct, Homo Sapiens, has filled the earth with his kind and established him- self as the lord of creation. Unlike the dinosaurs, he has acquired the ability to control his environment, al- though as yet he has ap- plied his knowledge only on a limited scale. In far Hal Griffin : qass AGO, the last of the dinosours | vanished from their last stronghold | on the North American continent. For untold thousands of years their kind had dominated the, land, the sea and the air. The great flesh-eating lizards too many parts of his vast domain millions still suf- fer from drought, flood, starvation and disease as they have done from earli- est time. Yet all these things are now within his ability to control. Beyond that, he has delv- ed into the very substance of the universe and gained for himself the limitless powers of the atom. Now indeed, he can become. the lord of creation, for he holds the power to master is environment or _ so 5 oe it as to doom his species to certain extinc- tion. * * * If you ask the man at the machine, the teacher in the schoolroom, the mother in the kitchen for an opinion it will come without hesitation. In ef- fect it will be, outlaw war, ban all hydrogen and atom- bomb tests and control all atomic experiments by in- ternational agreement. The worker, the teacher, the student and the housewife are ordinary people who see in the power of the atom a new weapon against disease, the means to a new higher standard of living. They don’t control the use of atomic power but they can — and must — control those that do. In the high circles of our capitalist society we seem to have developed another extraordinary type with a human brain and the mentality of a dinosaur. At least, that’s the only con- clusion I can, come to when I read that the U.S. Army estimates an H-bomb attack on the socialist world would kill “several hundred mil- lion people.” « 5 According to evyiden given before a U.S. Sen { sub-committee, the win would determine whethel™ the greatest death toll wait eastward into Asia or we ward into Europe.
