Communist Keynoter
Praises Wallace and
Russia at Convention
•y th« AueciaOd frm
NEW YORK, Aug. 3—Ameri
can Communists Jammed into
Madison Square Garden last
night for a noisy, demonstrative
national convention of their
own—high lighted by censure of
both the Democrats and Repub
licans and praise for both Rus
sia and Henry A. Wallace.
Speakers at the opening session of
the convention, the first to be held
by the group since 1945, were high
party chieftains, all of whom are
under Pederal Indictment on charges
of advocating the overthrow of the
United States Government by vio
lence and force.
William Z. Poster, national chair
man of the party in this country
and the top leader of the group of
13 arrested two weeks ago on grand
Jury’s charges, was the convention
keynoter.
29,000 Persons Attend.
He tokl the estimated 20,000 per
sons, in a fiery speech that bristled
with attacks on ’Pascist. Wall Street
imperialists." that a vote for either
President Truman or Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey, Republican presidential
candidate, “means a vote for event
ual fascism or war."
Of Mr Wallace, the Progressive
Party’s presidential candidate, Fos
ter said that his group "offers the
opportunity for the forces fighting
for peace and against inflation and
fascism, to organize and express
their strength.”
He said the Progressive Party “is
in no sense a Communist party," but
added that its national ticket, head
ed by Mr. Wallace and Senator
Taylor, "will rally hosts of workers,
Negroes, farmers, veterans, women,
youth, intellectuals and other patri
otic Americans who are determined
that our people shall not be butch
ered for the profit and glory of Wall
Street."
Foster described both Mr. Truman
and Gw. Dewey as "brazen liars
who charge that the Communist
Party is trying to dominate the new
party or to claim the credit for its
formation.”
Wall Street Aiiarneti.
He said the Democratic and Re
publican parties "are both domi
nated by Wall Street, their candi
dates and platforms were dictated
by big business, and both are com
mitted to American imperialism's
policy of world conquest.”
Russia was described by Foster as
a peace-loving nation threatened by
warmongers from the Western pow
ers. and he added;
"The Trumans. Deweys. Dulleses,
Hoovers and Marshalls, Vanden
bergs and other men of the trusts
who are running our government
could readily secure a democratic
agreement with the USSR, as Roose
velt did. But they don't want, it.
They are fighting for Wall Street s
world control.
Others in the array of convention
speakers included l^igene Dennis,
general secretary of the party; John
Williamson, trade union organizer
for the party; Henry Winston, or
ganization secretary of the party,
and Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., also a
member of the party's National
Council.
All of them were named in the
indictments. They now are free on
bail.
Backing of Violence Denied.
Dennis referred to the indictments
and asserted that "despite all fables
and falsehoods, we Communists do
not advocate force and violence. As
Marxists, we are opposed in princi
ple to adventurism, terror, assassi
nation, conspiracies and coup d'etat.”
Foster said that while "support
ing" the Progressive Party's "pro
gram of people's demands, we Com
munists have many points of dif
ference with it * • *. The most im
portant is that while many leaders
in the Progressive Party believe
that the badly crippled world cap
italist system can be saved and
transformed into 'progressive cap
italism.' we Marxist-Leninists do
not. Capitalism historically is on
its way oft the world stage.”
It was announced that the con
venton had received messages of
support of the American Communist,
movement from Communist Parties
in several foreign nations, includ
ing Bulgaria, Italy and Czecho
slovakia No message was an
nounced as coming from Marshal
Tito's Yugoslav Communist move
ment. _
State Department Cleared
Of Reds, Jonkman Reports
The State Department now is
free of "known or reasonably sus
pected subversives. Communists and
fellov travelers," the House was told
yesterday.
Representative Jonkman. Repub
lican, of Michigan reported that 134
State Department employes re
garded as security risks have been
dismissed since John E. Peurifoy
became Assistant Secretary of State
in charge of administration on Jan
uary 23. 1947.
"The Department of State,” Mr.
Jonkman added, "is now free from
persons of whom it is known or
there is reasonable cause to believe
that they are security risks."
Mr. Jonkman has been working
as a one-man subcommittee of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
for the past two years to investi
gate subversive influences in the
department.
He said house-cleaning proce
dures were made effective after Sec
retary of State Marshall assumed
office early last year and made Mr
Peurifoy Assistant Secret dVy, giving
him responsibility for ridding the
department of any employe regard
ed a* a security risk.

yielding.

the Senate caucus room, the group

“Senate" against the encroachments
of communism and Communist
doctrine, the Illinois Senator called
on his listeners to “beware the
teachings of false and untried phi
losophies by fuzzy intellectuals who,
through a misguided conception
of liberalism are spreading foreign
doctrines dangerous to our system.”

Senator May bank's talk consisted
of a welcome and congratulations to
the group on having been designated
to come to Washington.
Before its discussion of the
Mundt-Nixon Act, which the group
passed, officers were elected. In

was chosen minority leader; "Sen
ator’ Robert G. Hansel, 17, of Du
buque, Iowa, was named president
pro tern, and Howard D. Hermans
dorfer, 17, of Huntington, W. Va.,
