Move to outlaw communists gains momentum in Congress
Washington March 12 UP A drive to outlaw the Communist party gained momentum in Congress while the Chamber of Commerce of the United States urged help to stamp out the Red menace in labor. Chairman Fred A Hartley Jr backs the drive after Labor Secretary Schwellenbach urged banning all Communist activities. Attorney General Clark supports outlawing groups seeking to overthrow the government. Bills were introduced by Representatives Rankin and Sheppard. Hearings will be held soon by the House Un American Activities Committee. The Chamber branded Communist controlled unions as a fifth column and urged employers to help workers remove party members from labor. It warned of a cleansing of Communists improving labor relations and crippling party members in their Moscow-directed conspiracy. The chamber said Communists are skilled at power struggles in unions and may use women members to seduce opponents.

Senator Bridges said Truman's 400 million dollar Greece Turkey aid knocked budget plans off track as Congress weighs spending cuts and a proposed 20 percent individual income tax reduction.
