MR EISLER

Comment By His Sister

London, June 12-Miss Ruth Fischer of New York, a sister of Communist Gerhard Eisler, stated here tonight that she could not understand the British treatment of her brother, whom she described as one of the most important and dangerous agents of the Soviet secret police and the Cominform.

Miss Fischer, for many years a leading German Communist and member of the Executive of the Comintern, has broken with Communism and is now one of its most active opponents. She has been attending the Labour Party Conference at Blackpool and is going to the Continent of Europe to collect information for a further volume of her book "Stalin and German Commumism.”.

British Govt Leaders "Have Touch Of Forrestal's Disease"

Declares Konni Zilliacus

London, June 12-Mr Konni. Zilliacus, the "rebel" Member of Parliament who was recently expelled from the Labour Party, said tonight that the Government leaders had "more than a touch of Forrestal's disease," which had become "epidemic among Anglo- American politicians."

Speaking at the Congress of Peace, Trade and Friendship with the Soviet Union, Mr Zilliacus said of the suicide of Mr James Forrestal, former United. States Defence Secretary: "The fact that the all- powerful United States Defence Secretary has been half off his head while still in office, and went stark, staring mad within 10 days of resigning, because of what was officially called occupational fatigue, is a matter of the greatest importance, the full implica- tions of which should be faced by public opinion.
