Communist Offensive Calls For Many Years of Tough Resistance By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst America's direct-spoken ambassador to Moscow, Lt. Gon. Walter Bedell Smith, has given us a line which should be chiseled Into every doorstep of Democracy lest we forget. Discussing liusso-Amcrican relations at a press conference In Pittsburgh, the general said he felt things might continue In their present state Indefinitely without worsening or bettering. lie added we can t afford to allow our selves to be lulled into a false sense of security; neither can we afford to become hysterical. . . . We must view this as n long term thing. The Hussian Politburo (core of the Soviet dictatorship) also thinks In terms of years." That puts the thing In a nut shell, not only for the United States but for all the Democra cies, So, leaving the ambassador - out ' of further discussion, let's examine the situation from that standpoint. Constant Alert Needed We are In for a long, hard fight. It might last another generation two generations. There's no gauge by which to make an esti mate. But it could be fatal if we didn't recognize that our creates! rinn. gnr lies in allowing ourselves to be lulled Into a sense of security by any seeming slackening of the Moscow drive. We must beware of Red Trojan horses. Communist espionage long has been going on in America and other nations. The Un-American Activities Committee of the House of Representatives slated a few days ago "the Committee knows . . . that there are Communists In government today." The Red Ism is straining every nerve to gain control of trade unions the world over. It is spread ing Insidious propaganda through schools. It Is overlooking no bets hut It is reconciled to the Idea that it Is committed to a long-range Jlght. Must be Handled as Crime Because of the nature of this Bolshevist offens've It can be dealt with onlv as we would han dle ordinary crime. We've gut to hunt It down and t reat It as we woum any other gangsterism. This doesn't mean that we have to refuse all dealings with Russia. While there Is no hope of making any deal whereby the whole con flict could be called off, there are things on which the Communists might compromise because of self interest. These relatively minor compromises might delay or even avert anoiner world war. The grand strategy of the Bol shevists Is to knock us off one at a time. Therefore our cue, and the cue of all other Democratic coun tries, is to wage unceasing war against the inroads of Commun ism at home, while Joining in the general defense In theaters like western fcurope. Republican Chairman Raps Truman's Program WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-UP) Republican National Chairman Hugh heott Jr.. said yesterday that "If Mr. Truman has his way, uus win De Known as tne grab bag and pay-off Congress." Commenting on the program laid down In Mr. Truman's state of the union message, Scott said: "Mr. Truman Is rolling high dice with the people's money. "He proposes to the Congress unequal distribution of the na tion's wealth to pay off every pressure group in the land." "No one." be said in a state ment, "can disagree with the statement that 'wealth should lie created for the benefit of all,' but Is It required that this wealth be taken away from the Indi vidual in the form of new taxes and sluiced back to him after deduction of federal broketagc fees to support thousands of ad ditional federal employes?"

(P) The man had stayed late at his office, sat alone, scratching moodily on a desk pad. The pencil wrote: "I hereby resolve In the coming new year to ." The man got up, walked across the empty office to the water cooler, pressed the foot pedal The water, as usual, spurted up and nit mm in tne lace. "D n!" the man said absent- mindedly. He walked back to hts desk and began to scribble out his resolutions: "To drink bigger glasses of water and smaller glasses of stuif that isn t water. "To read one good new book and one good old book every momn. 'To quit yelling at my wife. 'To quit veiling at the kids. 'To quit getting to the office late. To take my wife out to dinner and an evening of lun at least once a week. "To quit betting on horses. "To save some money. "To buy my wife a fur coat. "To get eight hours of sleep every night." One Wlah Gratified And so the man wrote on until he had 25 resolutions written down. By then the moodiness had left his face, and he was smiling. He paused and looked over his work, and found It good. "Not a bad list, If I do say so," he said smugly. "This would im press the recording angel himself If I had a way to get lt up to heaven." He looked at the buzzer on his desk and a wild fancy came into his mind. "What if" he mused. Then he made a wish, and pressed the buzzer. Immediately the door opened and in came a tall stern figure robed In white. He held a file of papers In his hands. "Any messages for upstairs Sir?" asked the ghostly figure. "Why, wh - wh - wh - who are you?" stammered the man at the desk. "I'm the angel of truth, now on special assignment as mes senger for the recording angel," lid the f cure. "Didn't vnu lust wish for a messenger?" les, said the man, "hut w don't usually get that kind nf service in this office." What did you want me to de liver?" asked the angel. "My new year's resolutions " said the man. The angel took the list and scanned it quicklv i "Im glad vou broueht thin un " i said the angel. "You've been cans-' ing us a lot of unnecessary book keeping. I have here your pre vlous lists for the last 10 vears. i Please look them over." Reminded of Broken Promises The man, abashed, did so. "You will find. I think" .ild the angel crisply, "that all these He, years you've been making lists promising exactly the same re forms." The man at the desk held up one old list and said defensively: "Well, this one doesn't say any thing about stopping yelling at the kids." "That one was made out before you had any children," said the angel coldly. "But otherwise yeai after year you've taken up a whole page in the golden book making promises you haven't car ried out. "The recording angel is tired of this. He says for you either to start living up to your wordor Just tell him honestly now you don't intend to, so he can Just put in carbon copies to cover you JEor the rest of your life." , "Take up the list Just once more,' said the man. "I'll do my very best this year to keep my resolutions." The angel took It, gave him a golden smile. There was a puff of light and the angel was gone. The man got up from his desk, put on his coat and hat and start. ed for the door. He paused at the water cooler and pushed the foot pedal. The water sDurted un and hit him In the face. The man started to say "D n!" but then he pausicl He remembered that the 19th item on his list of resolutions was to stop saving that word when the water cooler hit him In the face. "Somebody ought to fix that machine." he said mildly, and walked out feeling better. It looked like the start of a good new year. my s f mj r THE OUTDOOR STORE BIG TJr yr T JT T a WITH SAVINGS FOR ALU Add peppercorns, whole cloves, bay leaf, an onion, a carrot and a stalk of celery or a hand ful of celery leaves to the water in which a fresh or smoked beef tongue Is cooked.
