1948-05-28 Counterattack

A victory for Counterattack is proclaimed when the readership succeeds in inducing Secretary of State Marshall to refuse an award from a newsletter called The Churchman, which reportedly had communist connections.  The upcoming Communist Party endorsement of Progressive candidate George Wallace is also noted with trepidation, as is the near-takeover of a medical society in New York City.  A communist plan to create dissension between the United States and Great Britain is denounced.  Other topics include: a strike by United Farm Equipment Workers, an address by William Z. Foster to the American Youth for Democracy, the merger of the Progressive Citizens of America with the Progressive Party, the "Voice of Freedom" Committee and Arthur Gaeth, a program on ABC on Communist intentions in America, and the expulsion of a communist leader in a non-communist local.
