a "fundamental contradiction of initiate a campaign to defeat the
the basic tenets of the vegetarian Callahan Act which is appearing

The Controversial Callahan Act
provides that vaguely defined
"foreign agents" and persons and
organizations sympathetic to for-
eign countries must register with
the Attorney General. Opposition
arose to the bill because of its
loosely-drawn and vague charac-
ter and its duplication of powers
confined to the Federal govern-
ment. Under -the Callahan Act it
has been charged that any relig-
ious organization, foreign relief
group, fraternal organization,
foreign-language society, or labor
union would be liable to persecu-
tion and public defamation of its
character.
