American Activities says the Amer-! lean Youth for Democracy is a! i “training school in lawlessness" with1 “Communist connections.” Through the American youth i group, the committee asserted in a report to the House yesterday, “the specter of Communism stalks our college campuses.” it aaaea tnere is a "growing con viction that the Communist Party: and the American Youth for De-j mocracy are part of an international \ | conspiracy seeking to undermine j 1 and destroy democratic countries throughout the world in the inter- j ests of Soviet aggrandizement.” The committee said an investiga tion of the organization, which j operates out of New York, convinced it that the group is “neither Amer ican nor democratic' in its origin or purposes.” Urges States to Expose Group. It called on Governors, State leg islatures and educators to “thor oughly expose the Communist con nections of the American Youth for Democracy.” One of the organization’s objec tives, the committee asserted, is to “disaffect our youth and to turn them against religion, the American home, against the college authori ties, and against the American Gov ernment itself.” The report added: “Its methods are underhanded and devious, in line with the Trojan horse policy initiated at the seventh congress of the Communist Inter ational. • • • Seeks to Exploit College Youth. “Manipulated by shrewd and spe cially trained organizers operating in a narrow circle behind the scenes, it endeavors to exploit to the ad vantage of a foreign power the ideal ism, the inexperience and the crav ing to join which is so character istic to our college youth.” The committee said that "gracing various American Youth entertain ments, meetings and campaigns, or contributing to its magazine, Spot light, is the usual list of sponsors which are invariably found support ing the Communist Party and its front organizations.” It said the list includes such names as Paul Robeson, Edward G. Robin son, Col. Evans P. Carlson, Zero ; Mostel, Lt. Comdr. Charles S. Seely, | U. S. N. (retired), and Joseph E. Davies. In Chicago, Comedian Mostel, j currently appearing in "Beggar’s Holiday,” said he had never seen any evidence “the American Youth was a communistic group,” and 1 added, "I’m not a Communist.” May Be Few Communists. “There may be one or two, or maybe three Communists in the group,” he said. “I believe it is made up of youngsters of all kind of beliefs, and what they believe is their own business.” The organization seeks to “deny and conceal the Communist char I acter” of its makeup, the committee said, but "the interlocking table of officers of the American Youth for Democracy, the Communist Party, and the Young Communist League shows the close identity of the inner core of the American youth group and the Young Communist League.” Actually, the cohnnittee said, the "Young Communist League official ly transformed itself into the Amer ican Youth for Democracy” at a convention in New York in Octo ber, 1943.

The President presented the 75 year-old "elder statesman” with the Medal for Merit and Oak Leaf Clus ter—the equivalent of two awards. One was for his services from the outbreak of war in Europe until Pearl Harbor, and the other from this country’s entry into the war until Mr. Hull’s resignation on No vember 30, 1944. Mr. Hull, recuperating from a stroke suffered last September, sat in a chair in a sunroom while Mr. Truman read the two citations to him. "I am overwhelmed,” Mr. Hull said in thanking the President. Referring to the lormer Secretary as the "father of the United Na ....■- - tions,’* one .of. the citations said he “made diplomacy a powerful weapon in support of our armed strength” and also a "potent instrument in laying the foundations of a stable and peaceful world order in the postwar era.” The other said that “during the years of crises and difficulties” pre ceding Pearl Harbor, he “labored unceasingly" to “create conditions for peace” and at the same time “endeavored to prepare the United States to meet the rising dangers from abroad." It added that he “contributed im mensely to the good neighbor policy, which was to bear rich fruit in a tragic hour.” Mrs. Hull was with her husband when the President and his party arrived for the brief ceremony. Mr. Truman was accompanied by Ad-"* miral William D. Leahy, his chief of staff; Acting Secretary of State Acheson, Maj. Gen.- Harry H. Vaughan and Rear Admiral James H. Foskett, the President’s military and haval aides, and Assistant Press Secretary Eben Ayers. - ^_-I Book and Bake Sale Planned ^book and bake sale will be held iron 10 am. until 5 pm.
