H a rd e r EDITORIALS 5 - FREE PALAVER * 7 Poul Hönbach • SEWER EXPANSION GOOD The county court’» presentation of the »ewer expansion plan» we« approvingly w e ll received in Central Point on June 14th. The Rogue V a lle y is a compact area and steadily increasing population has for many years made apparent the need for an adequate sanitary system. This is the kind of thing that w ill 4ot be brushed off by one or more citizens who may say "M y ■taation is satisfactory; it is no concern of m ine. " Every rttisen in the Rogue V a lle y is affected right now, whether hb is concerned or not. Concentration of people brings on a problem of sanitation. An adequate disposal system is pro vided today, allowing for future growth, or tomorrow bring, ufasanltary conditions that are unbearable. • It is costly. Most good and necessary things are costly. But neglect is much more costly. Planning has been done in a very comprehensive way. Now it is up to the people as a whole to bring about the construction and operation of a mutually beneficial sanitary system in our valley. Some in dividuals w ill no doubt be inconvenienced more than others. In these cases we can only trust to the good w ill and honest efficiency of our officials for an administration of equity for the common good. We believe they w ill do their best. „ A new s- paper story, a radio comment, a T V news flash, and espe c ia lly Washington officials reporting "welcome indications" that the Communist leadership i , mellowing. We exchange tourists with Russia. But insiders know that the Russian tour ists are carefully selected for American visits; each knows he has a job to do and few there are who return to their without vital technical information. Americans who go to Russia find themselves closely restricted; hut they do leant without fail how miserably backward and restrained is the life of Russian people— the few whom they are allowed to contact. From reliable sources we know that the Russian masses are still in dire poverty as measured by our standards. O fficial Washington begs and begs and begs for consulta tions and agreements with o fficial Communism, and periodi c a lly the Com m ie chiefs w ill "give indications" of assenting to our proposals for mutual this or mutual that. And like the cessation of bomb tests, we know that hty cessation of bomb tests, we know that . icy continue to keep no promise. They w ill agree to anything that w ill rob us or put us on the defensive and dissipate our wealth of resources. But you might note that the iron and bamboo curtains are s till drawn; the Berlin w a ll stands; they fish where they want to; they call us a ll kinds of names, while Offending phrases on the pert of any of our officials are apologised for most ef- fusiyely by our state department. That is the reason we cannot believe our state department h e a i and a ll other policy-m aking Washington officials are simply naive. Our description of what their game is would only be scoffed at, so we w ill forego the pleasure. We are told that we are uninformed. Y et through the months and yeaas enough reliable and responsible information has leaked through to a ll of us common folks who care to be concerned, to dlshearteningly assure us that the Communist objective ha, not changed one iota. Only one thing about his objective tim etable ha, changed: He is getting to much more to much faster through cold war than he ever expected. He is utterly aghgrt at the ease with which im perialirt America is giving in to him . We, too, are aghast at the abandon with which our elected officials are yielding to Communist intrigue and dishonest de sign upon our cherished freedom. Our supreme court takes a ll the retrain in g wraps off American communists and they are elatedly preparing for a great political convention next month, openly assuring us they had rather take us over po litic a lly than by force of arms. J. Edgar Hoover 1, still on our side, but he is an old fuddyduddy and must expect the curtain before long. On his FORUM recently Dean Clarence Manion interviewed Rev. Richard Wurmbrand, a Lutheran minister who spent 14 year, in a Rumanian Communist prison. A few week, ago he appeared before the Internal Security Subcommittee of the United State, Senate and told that body how unchanged today are the horrible ta c tic , of the Communists. Dean Manion asked him to te ll of his release after the long imprisonments REVEREND WURMBRAND: I have been re leased a year and a half ago. At that time a delegation of our Rumanian Government came t( the States to ask for loans, and in order to win the sympathy of the public opinion they r e leased nearly all the political prisoners of Rumania. Those who have been in Rumanian prisons for the sake of faith have always been considered as political prisoners, so they also fell under this amnesty. Is a well- known fact that Rumania sells its citizens, it sells the Jew s—over 600,000 Jews have been sold. TTie Communists mock the Nazis—they say, "the Nazis were stupid, they killed the we sell them ." Exactly as we read in the Old’ Testament that the brothers of Joseph wished to kill him but one of them said, why shojild we kill him, we can win money by selling him. And, that is their mentality, they sell the Jews, they sell German national minorities ‘i te rm £ i X s r e s t h (»«“ m h* r The> “"" ah iw ’r COMPLETE BEVERAGE LINE FRUITS A PRODUCE DELICATESSEN v hamburger, w ild bird seed • • • This lx a fallacy, he points out.

For me the money has been paid by church authorities. ’Tie conditions of imprisonment have been horrible with us in Rumania. The Christians and the others were tortured, beaten and starved. We had times when we had one slice of bread a week. And then, the mockery, things which are hardly believable for W esterners, I know, but, we must say the truth as it happened. I can say before God that I say much less than the truth because the whole truth you could not bear to hear. Christian prisoners have been tied to crosses for four days and four nights. The crosses were put on the floor twice a day and a hundred other prisoners beaten and tortured and made to fulfill their necessities upon the faces and the bodies of the crucified ones. And then the crosses were erected again with the Commu nists standing around jeering and mocking: Look, your Christ, look, your Christ, how beautiful He is, adore Him, worship Him, He brings you fragrances from Heaven. " Christian p riests were forced to use the dirt of a hundred other prisoners, with excrem ents. One was urine given into their hands and they were obliged to say the Holy Mass over these elements and they did it. They were half mad, they didn't know any more what they did, they had been tortured so. I asked one of them, f ather, why have you not preferred to die than to do this thing?" He answered, "Brother don't judge me, I have suffered more than Christ " I could say without end these atrocities and cruelties committed against the Christians, with the complicity of the West which speaks about peaceful coexistence with such men who commit such crim es. DEAN MANION: I suppose many of these m inisters of all religions died in the prison under these punishments, didn't they? R E V E R E N D W U R M B R A N D : Many died. Nearly all Catholic oishops died. Monks, nuns —my wife has been in prison with Catholic nuns—she is a Protestant—but she told me that these nuns were like angels. Imagine these virgins, these Holy beings, in the hands of these brutes. Horrible things have happened. Many, many died in prison. But not only clergymen, we had hundreds of peasants in prison for their faith. The Greek Catholic Church with us has been forbidden and peasants who did not wish to leave this Greek Catholic Church died in prison. Many of them. DEAN MANION: Reverend Wurmbrand, you mentioned "peaceful coexistence." What do you think about the possibilities of peaceful coexist ence with any Communist government? REVEREND WURMBRAND: I am not a man of politics and from the political point of view I can't express my opinion If It is right or not. But, as a representative of the church—the church can never have peaceful coexistence with militant atheifim—with those who kill and to r ture Christians. Everyone would laugh If he would say the church can peacefully coexist (from page 1) these BB gun carrying brats. The neighborhood youngsters brought her to me thinking she had a broken wing. On examination we found she had been shot through the wing and was unable to fly. We doctored her up, fed her 5 5 .0C ogps *,,,,, and supplied her with water until the wing haalad, which fortunately It did. She was able to fly away after a few days, but we w ill always y te a rd a y . A l l girl and a Uttla 3-yaar old boy walked hand hi hand up nraer, permit, le /. to the front door.

Now, there are some clergymen who speak about peace with those who kill the souls and bodies of Christians. Our children, our youth, are poisoned with atheism and not only with atheism, because atheism means simply not to believe in God, but they are taught to hate the notion of God, to hate the notion of Christ and all the Christian values. The church can never have peaceful coexistence with Communism. DEAN MANION: In the publicity about your appearance before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee you told of the guards addressing the prisoners about their foolish e x p e c ta tio n« of the Americans coming to rescue them. How did that go? REVEREND WURMBRAND: The last time in prison was the hardest one. It was a time of brainwashing. We were no more beaten but were submitted to the scientific suggestion to leave our faith. Sitting in the prison of Sherla, all the prisoners were gathered, and the com mandant of the prison, Major Alexandrescu, delivered a speech. He was a very enthusi astic and convinced Communist. He told us: You f ools , you sit in prison ten , fifteen, twenty years expecting the Americans to come to release you. You have loved America, you have praised it, you have appreciated it, now we give you the news that the Americans come. But, they don't come to release you—they come to help us* to do business with us, to give us loans. — -------- "The A m ericans, if you love them , If you praise them, if you suffer for them , will never give you anything. But, if you mock them, if you hate them , if you fight against them, if you spit in their face, they im mediately open their pockets and give you money- You have been fools. we have been the wise ones. " DEAN MANION: In view of what you have said, what do you think about Senator Fulbright's approach to this question? REVEREND WURMBRAND: I have read one of his interviews in which he says that there exists a bad Communism—Stalinist Communism —and a good Communism, the Yugoslavian Communism, for example. Now you have a proverb in English: "The proof of the pudding is in the eating. •' How does Mr. Fulbright know if the pudding is good or not unless he tastes it? I would propose him to taste the good Yugo slavian Communism, to go to Yugoslavia and to criticize there in Yugoslavia, what Tito does. If he will, he will see how good this Yugoslavian Communism is.
