Reds' Subversive Activities
In U. S. Higher Than In Second
World War, FBI Chief Says
WASHINGTON, i) J. Edgar Hoover hai told Congress that U. S.
Communists are going underground, and that there are more sub
versive activities in this country than "at any period during the last
world war."
"Communism today is at a
greater height in the United States
than either Nazism or Fascism
was" during world war II, the FBI
director said. What's more, he
added, it is centered in strategic
areas and in strategic industries.
In testimony before a congressional
committee, Hoover said:
"Forty-eight percent of the mem
bership of the Communist party is
in the basic industry of this coun
try. In this manner they would be
able to sabotage essential industry
in vital defense areas in the event
of a national emergency.
"Our investigations disclose that
Communist activities are most pro
nounced in such strategic industrial
areas as New York, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, California and
Michigan.
"Communist efforts toward infil
tration have been intensified in
basic industries vital to our se
curity such as steel, heavy machin
ery, mining, communications, the
electrical industry, transportation
and the maritime industry."
He said that the recent trial of 11
Communist party leaders in New
York prompted party members to
institute a security program of
their own even including an in
vestigation of the party's own
executive committee.
"The trend has been toward the
perfection of a highly-developed
underground apparatus and decen
tralization of Communist party
operations," Hoover said.
Records Destroyed Or Hidden
"As a security measure, no Com
munist party membership cards
were issued in 1949. The main
tenance of membership records has
been discontinued. Members speak
in a jargon of double talk and use
codes in correspondence.
"A courier system has been sub
stituted to prptect confidential
party communications. Public
meetings are maintained at an ab
solute minimum. Party records
have been destroyed c r removed to
clandestine hiding places. I
"Secret printing facilities and
supplies have been secreted for
future underground operations.
transfers of party members from
one district to another are now
controlled through the use of an
elaborate identification system.
"The party today is in the pro.
cess of selecting individuals for
secret leadership of its under
ground apparatus."
All this, Hoover said, has made
it more difficult for the FBI to slip
its own operatives into high Com
munist party positions.
in his testimony, which was
taken by the committee several
weeks ago, Hoover linked Ameri
can Communism with foreign ea
pionage.
FBI investigations, he said, show
that foreign spy activity has some
very aeunite oDjecuves, including:
information on atomic re
search: identities of atomic scion
tists in the United States: radar:
jet propulsion; topographical maps
ot tne united Mates coastal areas.
including airports and military
landing fields; data on biological
warfare; our industrial and mili
tary resources; and biographical
data concerning leading personal!'
ties in the United States."
Hoover put the number of actual
Indictee Resigns
His Position In
Commerce Dept.
WASHINGTON, June 10. UP)
William W, Remington Friday
resigned his J10,000-a-year com
merce department job to devote
"full time to proving in the court
that I am innocent of the charge
that I have ever been a Communist."
The 32-year-old economist was
indicted by a New York grand jury
Thursday on a charge of lying
when he denied ever having been
a Communist.
Ten days earlier Secretary of
Commerce Sawyer had asked for
his resignation, but said the re
quest was without any reflection on
Remington's loyalty.
At that time, Remington had said
he would refuse to resign.
Friday, in a 1,100-word letter to
Sawyer, he said he was leaving to
devote his time to proving his in
nocence of the grand jury's charge.
"I have no funds at my disposal
for one proceeding, much less for
several," his letter said. "What
ever I will be able to raise, will be
needed for my (courtroom) de
fense." This was a reference to proceed
ings instituted by Sawyer Monday
to force Remington's dismissal
from his job on grounds of "malad
ministration." Sawyer also had brought ouster
proceedings against another $10,-000-a-year
official, Michael E. Lee.
Lee has refused to resign. He
protested today that the depart
ment "is unwilling to give me the
slightest chance to dispel the cloud
of unfounded suspicion surround
ing me." '
L I i If
Communist party members in this
country at 54,174. However, he
said:
"The fact remains that the par
ty leaders themselves boast that
for every party member there are
1C others who follow the party line
and who are ready, willing and
able to do the party's work.
"In other words, there is a po
tential fifth column of 540,000 peo
ple dedicated to this philosophy."

Russian Demands
Antarctic Rights
WASHINGTON, UP) Russia
has notified the United States that
it wants a voice in any interna
tional discussions which might de
velop over the future of Antarc
tica.
A note to that effect was deliv
ered to the U. S. State department
by Vladimir I. Bazykin, who is in
charge of the Russian embassy
here during the absence of Am
bassador Alexander S. Panyushkin
in Moscow.
Officials assumed that other
western nations which had shown
interest in the frozen south polar
continent were told the same thing
Why the subject was brought
up at this time puzzled state de
partment officials.
There has been little internation
al concern over Antarctica since
the U. !. tried vainly two years
ago to settle clashing territorial
claims through some sort of in
ternational control. Russia was left
out of those talks.

By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK CP)-Why vacate
your home to take a vacation?
Why fight traffic for hundreds of
miles to catch poison ivy in the
mountains or gather a third-degree
sunburn on the beach?
You can have all the discomforts
and inconveniences of an ordinary
vacation and more right in your
own houdoukl and you can end
up just as worn out as if you had
crawled on your hands and knees
to Quebec and back.
All you need is the new patent-not-applied-for
Boyle "vacation
room." It is based on the theory
that people go on holiday jaunts
because they are bored with hav
ing things run right in their own
homes. They don't really want rest
or comfort. They want hardship
and suffering. They want things
to go wrong.
Our vacation room will take
care of that. Simply call our rep
resentative, and turn over one of
the rooms in your house to him
And he'll fix it up so that every
member of the family can have
the kind of vacation he enjoys.
This Is It
This is how our man will fix up
the room:
Two walls will be lined with
bunks containing mattresses
stuffed with dry cement. Anoiher
wall will hold a picture of Waikiki
beach and beneath it will be sand.
orange peelings and empty beer
cans. A powerful sunlamp will
blaze down on this picturesque sea
shore scene.
The wall across the room is plas
tered with a splendid view of the
Alps. The floor below is littered
with pine cones and potted poison
oak and poison ivy plants. And
there is a giant wind machine
in the corner to provide fresh
mountain breeze.
The center of the room is gay
with boulders and scattered nett
les. This, of course, is the picnic
site. And just under the ceiling
runs a network of pierced water
pipes to provide the usual picnic
shower.
Now all is ready for your vaca
tion. You, your wife, and your I
children take off your shoes and
walk barefooted into the room. As
you stand there gawking, our man
quickly opens a series of boxes.
Out tly a barn owl and a Dai. uui
zoom a million angry mosquitoes
and 45 bumblebees. Out slither
four garter snakes. Out crawl a
vast colony of ants, a dozen or so
spiders and twice that number of
beetles.
Locks Door
Our man quickly backs out,
closes and locks the door, and be
gins to turn dials controlling ihe
gadgets in the vacation room. ,The
sunlamp begins to burn, the ceil
ing pipes rain steadily, and the
wind machine sets up a tornadic
blast. The mattresses harden to
concrete.
At the end of three days when
he can no longer hear the yelps
for help inside our man opens the
aoor. me sleepless, oacKsore,
snake frightened, nettle - stung,
mosquito-chawed, bee-bitten, sun
fried, ivy-poisoned, ant-itchy, pneu
monia racked, cobweb - covered
members of the family are then
carried out and put into their own
beds.
Who is there to attend their
aches, pains and ills? Why their
own good old cheerful family doc
tor, in four days he has them all
back on their feet, and they can
go around bragging to friends:
"You think you had a rough va
cation? Let me tell you what hap
pened to us."
And they'll still have a week
before going back to work to won
der why they never appreciated
before how nice it, is just to be
at home, and comfortable.
Couldn't you use a modern vaca
tion room in your house?
4 Men Drown On
Fishing Excursion
PITTSBURGH, June 12 UP)
The raging waters of an Allegheny
river spillway took four lives yes
terdiy but rivermen who refused
to quit rescue efforts in the face
of terrifying odds pulled four oth
ers to safety.
One riverman. 50-year-old Hull
Wright, died a hero.
He tried desperately lo save six
persons who rode over an 11-font
dam in their 25-foot cabin cruiser
15 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
The four who survived a night
of horror were battered and beat
en, inside and out.
They clung to the cruiser as it
bobbed furiously in the foaming.
swirling spillway. For seven hours
they watched scores of rescue at
tempts tan.
A blimp, a seaplane and even
men in a rowboat tried to reach
them.
Just as it seemed their cruiser
would capsize, they were pulled to
safety by the volunteer crew of
a small river towboat piloted oy a
veteran skipper who willingly took
his chance with fate. He won his
gamble and lost his boat ai it
overturned in the maelstrom.
