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."

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.

1946 the Army averaged 2.6 ac

measures which the Army has
found effective in offsetting
fatigue and drowsiness:

open, breathe deeply.
2. Drink coffee or other alert
ness beverage every two hours.
3. Stop vehicle, get out and
exercise.
4. Where possible, change

For the driver who finds him

driving, the army has a sure
fire remedy: Pull off the road
and rest until physically fit to
continue. -
