US Communist Taken By FBI In New York
Washington, Feb. 10.—(UP)The justice department announced the arrest in New York today of John Williamson, national labor secretary of the Communist party of the United States.
Williamson, the department said, will be held for deportation to his native Scotland. A department spokesman referred to the arrest as "the most important Communist arrest so far."
Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been watching Williamson for some time, the Justice department said, and picked him up "on upper broadway." Immigration agents participated in the arrest.
Williamson, who sometimes uses a couple of middle names, too—"Blake" and "Beattie"-was arrested under the Act of 1918 which bans immigrants hostile to the United States government and those who plan its overthrow by violence. He is being held without bail at Ellis island pending an appearance before an immigration inspector in deportation proceedings.
Want Wallace On Ballot
Topeka, Feb. 10.—(UP) Statewide support of Henry Wallace for President was sought in Kansas today following a mass meeting for the third party presidential candidate attended by approximately 100 persons.
George Lurie, attorney taking graduate work at the University of Kansas, predicted success in the circulation of petitions to get Wallace's name on the Kansas presidential ballot. To accomplish that, 2,500 names must be obtained for each of the state's eight presidential electors.
Lurie told the gathering in the Topeka Municipal auditorium that Wallace should be supported because the two-party system was currently a myth in this country, with the Democrats and Republicans "without a basic difference of opinion."
Other speakers championed Wallace and asserted that the Communist sympathies attributed to him were smears unfounded in fact.
