1948-12-10 Counterattack

This newsletter begins by questioning who is responsible for the weakening position of the Nationalist forces in China.  The answer, for Counterattack, is highly placed communists in the State Department.  The moves of the CIO in response to the communist threat are again a subject for discussion, as are communist calls to deride its leader, Philip Murray.  The author picks up a campaign by Prudential Insurance Company against the United Office & Professional Workers of America, due to communist leanings among the leadership.  Muriel Draper and Paul Draper, a tap dancer, are described as important communists, as are Norman Corwin and Ring Lardner, Jr.
