He l&sbed out with &n angry diatribe in growling

the president of the assembly., General Carlo• Romulo of

Vishlnsky he was out of order.

ignored the
ruling, and went on shouting.

He instructed the interpreters to stop

banged the gavel.
Pretty soon, as Vishinsky
roared on, the gavel rapped out again.
Which meant
that the remainder of the Vishinsky oration was not
interpreted - and could be understood only by those
delegates who knew Russian.

Bo now Yugoslavia will sit on the Becur1t7

What will
happen!
That question will be answered after January

places.
It 1s no, believed that the Soviets will
withdraw from the Security Council altogether. The

opinion at the U. •· 1• that they will stage

Attorney General McGrath states definitely
that the conviction of the eleven red leaders last
Friday does not outlaw the Communist party.
Bolding
that tt was a trial of individuals, and not of a
political party, he put the matter in these precise
words:
•The verdict did no~ more than convict these
eleven men of conspiring to overthrow the government by
force and violence.•
The statement waa made in
a.n
&ddresa to the
lat1onal
Preas
Club today, and
·
means that the Communiat
Party
11
free to run candidates in elections, hold
ma11
meetings, and conduct political oupalgns. However,
to the citizen on the sidelines, the question
1amediately suggests itself• if the eleven leaders
were
found g
·
111lty, wouldn't any other leaders 1:n the operation
of the Communist party be equally liable to prosecution!
They'd be doing pretty much the same thing as the onea
who were co~vict•d.

That waa the oaee at
