...favorite McCarthy victim these days is Gustavo Duran. Joe flourishes a picture of Duran taken during the Spanish Civil War in what he says is "the uniform of the S.I.M.-the counterpart of the Russian secret police." He then says that Duran's American citizenship was rushed through, that he was "promoted" by the State Department to the U.N. in 1946. "And what do you think he was doing there today? Unbelievable as it is, his task was to screen displaced persons and decide which would make good, loyal Americans...
...denying Corliss Lamont a passport for European travel, the State Department has begun to draw an iron curtain which is as great a danger as its Russian counterpart to understanding and spreading democracy. This is the curtain of an unofficial "house arrest" which may envelop individuals whose particular brand of "Americanism" conflicts with the preachings of Senators McCarthy and McCarran--State Department critics who spend more time than the Supreme Court in interpreting and defending the Constitution...

Last week the young institution got a generous gift of the one thing it needed...
...smooth exploitation of the West Germans' desire for trade and of the opportunities for smuggling was working so well that occupation authorities were considering stringent measures. As a sample, the U.S. ECA mission to Germany took steps last week to withhold 6,000,000 marks in ECA counterpart funds from a Ruhr steel firm that has been engaging in illegal trade with the Communists. It was the first, but probably not the last, real countermeasure against the Wollweber apparatus...
