New Client

Executives of the Communist-pumped World Committee of the Defenders of Peace met in London last week, but were unable to maintain peace within their own family. A row broke out between the two chief U.S. delegates, Party-Liner Paul Robeson and Manhattan Lawyer O. John Rogge, onetime (1943-46) special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, a non-Communist who has been an advocate of Red causes and until lately a darling of the world Communist press.

Rogge offered a resolution in behalf of Communist Dictator Tito of Yugoslavia; it would have readmitted the Yugoslav delegates, whom the Defenders of Peace kicked out last year. Robeson, leading the majority faction in behalf of Communist Dictator Stalin of Russia, succeeded in having Rogge's resolution pigeonholed and Rogge barred from making a speech.

Afterwards, the pair met the press. Said Baritone Robeson: "Yugoslavia has tied itself firmly to the capitalist camp which, at the behest of the Du Fonts and Wall Street, is preparing for a new war." He accused Rogge of being a paid agent of Tito.

Rogge admitted that he was a paid representative of Tito, adding that he only accepted those clients in whose cause he believed. Said he: "I am proud of my association . . . [I am trying] to organize a 'Third Force' to ease the tensions of the cold war."
