Reds Invade
Several U. S.
Religious Groups
Washington, Nov. 23 liftTwo
clergymen and two religious or
ganizations were branded commu
nist today by the house un-American
activities committee.'
It also listed the magazine "The
Protestant" as onewhich "fanat
ically spreads communist propa
ganda." And it said, without elab
oration, that the reds have made
inroads into some units of the
YMCA, YWCA. the Ed worth
league and other church organiza
tions.
The statements were made In a
committee pamphlet warning that
communists would move at once
to stamp out religion If they come
into power here. It was entitled
"100 things you should know
about communism and religion."
- ' Enemy No. 1
"In all their plans and actions,"
the pamphlet said, "the commu
nists mark down religion as en
emy No. 1."
the Methodist Federation for
Social Action, with headquarters
in New York, was one of the two
organizations on the committee's
list. While it is not an official
church unit, the pamphlet said, "it
is trying, to use the prestige of the
Methodist church to promote the
line of the communist party."
It also put the communist tag
on the People's Institute of Ap
plied Religion, Birmingham, Ala.,
which it said has been declared
subversive by the justice depart
ment. Describing the institute as
"one of the most vicious" of com
munist groups, the pamphlet said
"Jt preaches communist ideas,
pretending they are Christian
ideas."
The committee named the Rev.
Claude C. Williams, director of
the institute and a Presbyterian,
as an "open type" of communist.
It .gave the same description to
the, Rev. Eliot White, a retired
Episcopal minister who, it said,
has served as a delegate to a com
munist convention.
Used Church Publication
The booklet also said that com
munists once "sneaked" their
propaganda into the "Christian
Register," official Unitarian pub
lication. The pamphlet is one of a series
of five planned by the commit
tee. It issued "100 things you
should know about communism
in the U. S. A." last June. Others
dealing 'With communism and edu
cation, labor and government will
be issued before the end of the
year.
The committee said it was '
tainly not" investigating religion Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 23 lPi
Rather, It said, the pamphlet was
being issued to "help you protect
your religion and faith from com
munist attack by showing you ex
actly what the communists are
up to."
If the reds take over in this
country, the pamphlet said, they
would destroy all Bibles, take
over all churches and synagogues
vand restrict religious activity.
Meanwhile, It said, they would
work within the captured church
groups to confuse people.

Police said one of the men was

as he called for a r.ew key to a

planted a dummy package con

the -package was wrapped in

The other youth was arrested

Public Works
Branch Studied
Washington, Nov. 23 ilPt The
Hoover commission' calls in the
experts this week to debate the
merits of a suggested new fed
eral department of public works.
It is possibly the most contro
versial problem facing the com
mission headed by former Presl
dent Herbert Hoover. It is study
ing ways of making the executive
branch of government more
streamlined, efficient and eco
nomical.
A report by the committee on
public works, it was disclosed,
proposed the creation of a new de
partment which would centralize
all government construction, in
cluding federal housing, flood
control, and rivers and harbors
engineering projects.
It also would put under the
same tent irrigation and reclama
tion, and absorb the functions and
duties of the U. S. forestry serv
ice. In so doing, the public works
department would take over many
activities now handled by the
army, and the departments of in
terior and agriculture.
Because the proposal is so rad
ical, the commission plans to call
in a proponent, Robert Moses, the
nations number one parks au
thority, and an opponent, prob
ably Prof. Samuel T. Dana, dean
of the school of forestry, Univer
sity of Michigan.
Bridge Building
i&lowed by Strike
Shipping strikes on the east and
west coasts nave slowed down de
livery of supplies for construction
of the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
State engineer C. A. Andrew said
today.
Andrew said the completion
date of the bridge and its cost
were being extended each day the
strike continues. He said the
strikes were costing the state toll
bridge authority $1780 per day in
interest on the bridge bonds.
"We were 60 days ahead of
schedule when' the strike started
Sept. 1. Since then we figure we
have lost 16 of the 60 days," he
said,

So you're driving
to California
Wo hope you have a pleasant trip, with a minimum of
slippery highways, road hogs, and unsolicited advice
from the back seat on how to drive, where to stop for
meals, and where to spend the night.
Of course, you might be a bit more comfortable ir you
went by train and let the engineer do the work. You'd
arrive rested, instead df tired out. And you'd avoid those
persistent "Next time, try the train" billboards which
(we warn you) will make you wish you'd taken their
advice in the first place.
It doesn't cost a great deal to go to California on the
train. Why not call your local railroad agent or write
Southern Pacific and get the dope just in case?
P.S. If you need a car when you get there, you can rent
a good one at low rates. We'll gladly arrange it for you.

MacArthur Will
Rule on Appeals
Tokyo, Nov. 23 IP Headquar
ters said today that Gen. Douglas
MacArthur hoped to render a fin
al judgment on the war crimes
convictions of Japanese wartime
premier Hideki Tojo and his 24
co-defendants at the end of this
week.
A reliable source said MacAr
thur would "pretty much" follow
the rulings handed down by the
international war crimes tribunal
Nov. 12.
These were that Tolo and six
other key leaders of Japanese ag
gression would hang, 16 would
serve life prison terms, another a
20-year term and one a seven-year

decisions on appeals from all the
defendants.
Representatives of 11 allied
nations summoned for consulta
tions on the verdicts by MacAr
thur met with the allied com

A reliable source said they were

U. S. Files Charge
Against Bulgaria
Washington, Nov. 23 tP The
United States Monday charged
Bulgaria with peace treaty viola
tions and with using "the familiar
Iron curtain pattern" against anti
communist Bulgarians. .
The charges were made by the
state department in a formal
statement accompanying a stern
diplomatic note. The note was de
livered Saturday by Donald R.
Heath, American minister to Bul
garia. The American complaints cen
tered on the recent trials of nine
Bulgarians who were members of
the Independent socialist parties.
"After a trial which followed
the familiar iron curtain pattern
and was predicated on the usual
vague charges and 'confessions ,
severe sentences have been meted
out to a small group of indepen
dent socialist deputies led by Mr.
Kosta L.ulcne.v, who constituted
the last parliamentary opposition
to the Bulgarian communist gov
ernment," the state department
said.
It added that the sentences
ranged from life imprisonment
for one defendant tried in absen
tia, to a minimum of 10 years.
Severe fines were Bald to have
accompanied the prison terms,
and Lulchev was sentenced to 15
years in prison.
"In thus terminating the final
pretense of Bulgarian democracy
by eliminating these remaining
elected representatives of the op
position," tne statement contin
ued, "the Bulgarian regime has
again violated its covenated ob
ligation under article II of the
treaty of peace to assure its citi
zens basic fundamental free
doms." ...

Fire Menaces Farms
More Than Cities
St. Poul, Minn, tiwlf you are
a farmer. lire is a ereater poien
tial danger for you than it is for
your cousin in the crowaea city.
At least, that is the story told
by statistics at the University of
Minnesota agricultural extension
service here.
Only about one-fifth of the peo
de in this country live on farms,
yet fully one-third of the number
killed each year Dy lire live on
farms, the statistics show.
In 1947, 11,000 died by fire In
the U. S. Of these, 3,500 were
farm residents. .
Monetarily, fir loss last year
came to $700,000,000. Twelve per
cent of the loss was on farms.
According to extension officials,
the main reason for the. higher
toll on farms is the higher num
ber of fire hazards to be found
there than in cities. Farmers
