Red Cleanout Demanded for Armed Forces WASHINGTON VFt Sen. Fergu son R-Mich urged the armed forces Saturday to "purge their ranks" of known and suspected Communists. . Ferguson, a member of the Sen ate Internal Security Subcommit tee, said subcommittee members "are of the opinion and have some knowledge that there are, many Communists among the commis sioned grades m active service and in the reserve."" He mentioned no names in the prepared statement, designed orig inally as a series of six articles plugging for extension of the Bed- hunting subcommittee. Ferguson is its senior Republi can member and presumably will head the" group if it is continued. Its authority now is scheduled to expire Jan. 1, when it would have to return to the treasury unex pended balances of the more than S300.000 Congress put up to finance its work. A serialized news "handout" is a device new to Capitol Hill, and in response to newsmen's urging, 'Ferguson's office linally released all six chapters in a batch, for immediate publication in Sunday editions, instead of ' the originally planned one-a-day schedule. The lead - off article argued that "if subversive elements in the Uni ted States can be discovered and controlled, there need be no fear of a shooting war in America." "From everything I can learn," it said, "I believe that the Red Army will never go to war with any nation until the Kremlin is satisfied that nation is sufficiently penetrated with Communists and other subversives who will func tion as an effective fifth column in the target country to weaken its internal strength and assure the success of the Red military forces." "It is obvious that further in quiry will be necessary;" he said. "During the next two years we should like to show how the Com munist menace can be destroyed, how and why some Communist penetration efforts have failed, and what success has attended efforts of some organizations to break away from Communist domina tion." He listed these as some of the fields needing more study: The United Nations, the armed forces, labor unions, the schools. ! ! - Bytch?

Shifting Cargo Causes List In Steamship COOS BAY UP) The steamship Karen Olson, which called for help after heeling over in a 50 degree list earlier Saturday, was out of danger and proceeding south un der its own power, Capt. Anton Brix radioed Saturday night. The list was cut to 20 degrees when a deck cargo of 600,000 board feet of lumber broke loose. radio and television, and youth or ganizations, all of which he said the Communists have tried to use for. their own ends. Brix reported. He said that one of the ship's two boilers had stopped operating and that water had flooded the engine room. A sister ship, the Barbara Ol son, which was near Bandon a few miles to the south on the Oregon Coast, joined the Karen and stood by until it got underway again. Besides the 600,000 feet of lum ber on the deck the Karen was loaded with 1,200,000 feet in the hold. The Karen sailed from Coos Bay earlier Saturday. The list devel oped a short time after it had left the harbor.
