              STOOL-PIGEON HARVEY MATUSOW
Exposes Frame-upi Sy in US
The confession of a fornaer E BI
*'Btar mtness" has exploded like a
, bombshell o n the whole system ot
f r a m e - u p s a n d w i t c l r - h u n t i n g of the
last decade. The man who bore false
witness against 180 prominent Ame­r
i c a n liberals a n d radicals over a pe-riod
of three years i a now i n f o r i n i ng
o n his own benefactors, and has
bared the rotten and corrupt false-hoods
behind the persecution a n d i m -
priscmnent of. innocent people.
T h e Story of Harvey M . Matusow.
28-year-old F B I informer who has
now revealed htaiself as a false wlt-
. n e i s , i n a seriea of affidavits and in
the pages of a booic has caused a
major political . s s n s a t l on that now
threatens to break open the whole
conspiracy against freedom i n the
U S A ,
As an.obscure member of the C o m -
munist P a r t y i n the U.S.. Matusow
began supplylng i n f o r m a t i o n to the
F B I i n 1950. The party Soon u n -
covered this shabby police informer
and expelled h i m.
He joined the UJS. airforce, but
soon t u m e d to the safer activltles of
a n "expert on communism" for the
U . S. department of justice, f o r $25 a
day and expenses;
T h e publicity was balm for his
v a n i t y . He appeared on television,
, addressed . busine3smen's luncheons,
a n d was featured as a ;Worthy exam-iple
to A m e r i c a n youth at h i g h schooI
and college fonuns. In the f a l l of
1952, Senator Joseph M c C a r t h y e v en
placed a plane a t Matu£OW's disposal
(it was paid for by the R e p u b l i c an
p a r t y s n a t i o n a l committee so t h a t he
could campaign for M c C a r t h y ' s re-
•election i n Wisconsin.")
iMatiisow bscama an intimate of
Roy Cphn, M c C a r t h y ' s assistant and
the government attorney who boasted
of his role i n the murder of the
Rosenbergs. There was even a (tem-poraryj
marrlage into the " s n i a r t s e t"
that travelled toetvveen Texas and
Waf0.iingtdn. . :• *
Matusövv was aupposed to know
overything about everybody. He ac-cused
the prominent Protestant
B i s h o p Bromley Oxnam, of, C o m m u -
nist sympathies. He t o l d the Senate
committee that Owen L a t t i m o r e was
" a follower of the communist l i n e ",
the very grounds on w h i c h the go-vernment
is b r i n g i n g s u i t to i m p r i s on
Lattimore.. • .
O n Matusöw's word, C l i n t o n Jencks,
' Organizer for the Independent M i n e -
M i l l lunion waa sentenced to five
years; four of t h e 13 UJS. Communist
leaders have j u s t gone to j a i l.
Scorea of individuals a n d groups
were subjected to tne same falsehoods,
at trials and before the Senate and
House committees. He explains how
Roy C o h n conspired to fabricate. h is

J u s t whx Mabusow became bored
or frightened by his career should'
become clear when his book. "Paise

Shortly before press time word

the Yritys hockey team has won a
play-off spot in the T H L Inter-mediatc

did not indicate what chances the
club ha.s, but judffins from the
record of past years wlth a little
luck the team should emergenear
the top.
For several years now the team
has got into the play-offs but has
not played consistently enoagh
to emerge on top. Last year was
probably the best year for the
club when they were placed In the
senior play-offs.

W h l t e f i s h . — The s k i committee of
the F C A S P which is cömposed of
representatives of the Sudbury Dis
t r i c t clubs has h a d a busy season t h is
year. Perhaps one of the biggest
tasks undertaken by the committee
was g e t t i n g l o c a l skiers a t t i r e d i n a
d i s t i n c t i v e s k i s u i t.
I n the last w h i l e the committee
has been plagued w l t h f l n a n c i a l wor-ries
ärising out of the heavy costs of
s e n d i n g r r . i e r s to the C a n a d i a n c h a m -
pionship meets. Because of the h i gh
costs of travelling the ski committee
has f e l t that i n d i v l d u a l clubs should
not alone bear the f l n a n c i a l burden
when F C A S P skiers are sent to C a n ­a
d i a n championship meets. A n d some
of the clubs are i n no position to
meet such expenses. The committee
has already c i r c u l a t e d collectlon lists
a n d the response has been good, but
more money is needed.
A Special ski dance Is being held
