Aug. 11 -AJP)- A communist trial defendant today admitted teaching that a working-class dictatorship cannot arise until a capitalist state's govern ment, army and police force are smashed. ' And such a dictatorship, model ed after Russia's, can happen here, said Robert C. Thompson, communist chairman in New York state. Thompson, a witness in his own defense, was asked by Govern ment Attorney Frank H. Gordon: "Did you or do you now teach that the dictatorship of the pro letarian cannot arise as a result of the peaceful development of bourgeois society and bourgeois democracy, and can arise only by the smashing of the bourgeois state machine, the bourgeois army, the bourgeois bureaucratic ma chine and the bourgeois police?" Before answering. Thompson said the communist party under stands that historically the ruling class of this country "is very un apt to give up control of industry and the police power." Moreover, he said, the ruling class is apt to meet every move for social progress with violence. Communists feel that no people's front coalition could take over a ready-made government machine, Thompson said.
