American Youths Claimed Lured Into Communist Organizations To Learn Destruction Methods "Washington (U.KT Senate investigators charged Wednes day the Communists have lured thousands of American youths into Red organizations in an ef forts to teach them how to "de stroy their government." ' In a report to the Senate, a "task force" of the Senate In ternal Security subcommittee de scribed in detail how the Com munist youth movement operat ed during and after World War II first through the Young Communist League and then through American Youth for Democracy- The A YD, it said, was 'dissolv ed in 1948 in order to form two basic , Communist - controlled youth organizations Young Progressives of America and La bor .Youth League. It said the former serves as a broad youth front, getting in many young people who don't know what Communism is. The latter, it said, is openly Marxist and has a much narrower membership. Both organizations, it said, are "affiliated with Communist-controlled international youth or ganizations which are in an arm of the Cominform." It added that at one time, the Communists tried unsuccessfully to destroy the Boy Scouts of America by setting up a rival or ganizations, the Young Pioneers. "Since their failure, it said, the Communists have been trying to infiltrate the Boy Scouts. To back up its conclusions, the subcommittee made public a 306 page transcript of hearings the task force held on the Commun ist youth movement both here and in New York last spring. The sessions were not open to the public. Noting that Communist - con trolled organizations try to in fluence youth in high school other segments of American life. rthe subcommittee recommended Dr Robert L. Stephens, Optometrist formerly located at 213 East Main Street in Medford, has opened his new office at 430 S. W. 6th Street in Grants Pass. . . that its report be given "the widest "possible circulation among youth leaders, youth or ganizations, schools and colleges in this country." ' Subcommittee Chairman . Pat McCarran, (D-Nev.), said he could "conceive of few greater crimes than the attempted de struction of the faith, security and pride of our youth in their country." Pickin' Pears News, Gossip, Comment From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH Alaska is being strengthened more from a military standpoint than we in the states are aware, according to a Camp White vet eran who worked there with the railroad for 10 years. He, is Charles V. Smith and at the present time he is run ning the library while Dorothea Glass, librarian, is in Alaska checking up on all the stories he told her. "Especially is this true in air bases," he says, adding that one of the largest and most com pletely equipped airports is lo cated there. Charley does not think Alaska will ever be largely populated due to the inaccessibility of the interior and some agricultural disadvantages with high moun tains dominating the scene. "Hay grows higher' than a man's head but it doesn't cure properly," he cites. Great work has been done in the education of the' Indians or "natives" as they are called, and this population will remain and multiply to provide the neces sary nucleu8'for civil and indus trial activity. Notwithstanding its somewhat rugged . way of life, Charley Smith , wants to return there as soon as possible. High wages for a short working period are paid. About the., only ' thing that would alter his prediction about retarded settlement is another gold rush, or maybe another war.
