suggestion that the United Staten lenve the United Nations Organisation is not a new one and it is highly improbable that it will meet with deep con- aldemtion except in certain quarters. it is easy, how- ever, to understand his feelings as he has denit with the Communists both in Europe and the Far East and experienced the frustra- tion of the eternal negative. For a fighting mas it must be gailing to listen to sense»/ less arguments, having fo concedo ground with only u. verbal battle. He remembers | only too well the protracted Korean truco negotiations and the months of endleas talk when, according to the military leaders, including himself, the Anal battle for Korea should have been in] progress. He has also urged: the United States to sever diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and hor satellites and forming anj anti - Communist United
Nations. Any such move in this direction would achieve, nothing, but there are many who will agree with the General, thinking it is the Folution to all the problems facing the Western world. However, it is unlikely that any of his suggestions will meet with universal proval, either in the United States or other countries.

Senate's Snap Bill To
Outlaw Party
Washington, Aug. 12.
In a completely unexpected action, the Senate today passed and sent to the House of Representa- tives a bill outlawing the Communist Party.
The bill, carried unanimously by 85 votes to nil, provides that persons who wilfully join or remain members of the Communist Party and commit any act designed to carry out Communist Party purposes will be subject to penalties of up to five years' imprisonment and 10,000 dollars (£3,570 sterling) fine.
The bill would also make it illegal for any Communist Party member to hold office in a labour union.
The bill was put forward by Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota as a substitute for a measure which had been backed by President Eisenhower and was aimed at eliminating Communist domination of
/ certain labour unions.
Included Amendment
Senator Humphrey's proposal, as passed by the Senate, included the Administration-backed proposal as an amendment.
The Attorney-General, Mr Herbert Brownell, with President Eisenhower's approval, had recom- mended to Congress about a dozen bills aimed at limiting the power of the Communist Party.
But legislation to outlaw the Communist James Ryan of the Federal Party was not among them.—Reuter.
