What Is a Communist?
What is a Communist?
We ought to ask again, because this label is
being pinned on some people in this country more
than at any time since the McCarthy era of the
1950s.
Controversy over civil rights, economics, poli
tics, welfare programs,
easily end up with somebody shouting at some
body else:
"What are you, a Communist or something?"
TO ANSWER THE question: What is a Com-miimct?
You can begin, of course, by citing avowed
members of the Communist party.
You may presume

professional spies working for the soviet Union
By the very nature of their purposes, they are not
likely to wear red light
You can add identifiable persons who, while
avoiding party memberships, nevertheless un
mistakably serve the party s goals as dictated
by Moscow.
, Beyond these levels, identification becomes
tricky and presumption dangerous.
FOR EXAMPLE, the Reds often try to adopt
as their own a flock of foreign and do
mestic proposals which may accord roughly with
programs advanced by legitimate political parties
in the free democracies.
As practiced under Moscow's guidance, this
device is a conscious fraud. Its aim is to gain for
Communism an identity

You don't prove a man is a Communist be
cause he says he favors six or eight or ten American-born
programs the Communist Party also pre
tends it wants for the country.
Programs in the Communist world are mere
stratagems.
IT IS MORE fundamental to remember that a

he is a man who :

Federal Employment

this out.
As Congresswoman Edith Green points out
in a recent newsletter to her constituents, the
number of Federal employers is actually declin
ing in relation to the nation's population. Where
there were 1.6 Federal civilian employes for each
100 Americans in 1952, there are now 1.3 now or
a decline of almost 19 per cent.
And they are not widely spread. Of the 2.5
million Federal civilian employes, 1.8 million are
in one of three agencies Defense Department,
Post Office, and Veterans Administration. The
0.7 million remaining in all other government
activities are fewer than the total employment in
the telephone industry alone. Capital Press,
Salem.
Safe Boating
Neglect of elementary rules of safe boating
contribute to the annual loss of 1,300 lives in
boating accidents. This is a heavy toll for the
nation s No. 1 family sport, which lures 40 mil
lion Americans onto waterways each year.
The $2.5 billion recreational craft industry in
the United States now services a civilian navy of
almost 7.5 million boats of all kinds, including
483,000 sailboats, 795,000 inboard motorboats,
and 2,105,000 canoes, rowboats and miscellane
ous craft. There are 6,250,000 outboard motors
in use, of which 372,000 were sold in 1962. Last
year about one out of every five persons in the
United States went boating at one time or an
other.

To the Editor: Are we going
to belong all to the colpred
race? Are we, in a few gen
erations, going to look into
old photographic-albums, and
then look at one another and
remark: "Mahl how we have
all changed!"
At first the Negro popu-
larized his garish art (Gay
Ninety's), his noisy music
(jazz: -1920's(, and his amor
al literature (pornographic
realism: 1930's) among us.
Now he Is beginning to in-
breed with us, demanding full
social and political equality.
But witness the words of
Abraham Lincoln, the Great
Emancipator, from a speech
delivered at Charleston, 111.,
in the year 1858:
'I am not now, or ever
have been in favor of bring
ing about in any way the so
cial or political equality of
the white and black races . . .
There is a physical difference
between the white and black
races which will forever for
bid the two races living to
gether In social or political
equality. There must be a po
sition of superior and Inferior,
and I am in favor of assign
ing the superior position to
the white man.
But the difference Is more
than physical. For instance,
most Negro arts seem degen
erate and revolting to the un
initiated, sensitive taste of a
Caucasian. Next, If we are to
sanction full civil and re
ligious liberty, we must en
tertain voodooism among us,
and, when we have succumb
ed to barbaric promiscuous
ness and lasciviousness engen
dered of the above mentioned
arts and religion, the uninhib
ited, Irresponsible, strongly
sexed. Inferior-feeling Negro
male will aggressvlely propa
gate, and accelerate the proc
ess of "de-Caucasianization"-
even as our central govern
ment is today accelerating
"de-Segregation."
From the same book as the
above quotation, "Meet Gen
eral Grant" by W. E. Wood
ward, we read: "The experi
ence of mankind shows that
in all slave civilizations the
master eventually succumbs,
morally and spiritually, to
those held in bondage . . .
Slavery . . . did the Negro no
permanent harm . . . But it
did the Southern White Man
a great deal of harm . . .
(though) the terrific shock of
the Civil War tore the two
races apart and created a new
and sharp antagonism". Also,
"The American NeRroes are
the only people in the history
ot the world, as far as I know,
that ever became free without
any effort of their own." Can
it be, as one Negro expressed
it, that the Negro is a "guilt"
of the white man - which he
must atone for?

Happy Ending
To the Editor: In June all
the world seems to be in love.
And the newspapers carry
many announcements of hap
py engagements and weddings
. . . And sometimes proud
mammas, perhaps recalling
their own romances, get their
metaphors slightly mixed
when they compose the an
nouncement of their daugh
ter's engagement.
This unforgettable classic
appeared in the column "A
line-o-type or two" in the
Chicago Tribune some years
ago:
"Mr. and Mrs. Roy Gillett
take groat pleasure in an
nouncing the engagement of
their daughter Gloria to Mr.
Robert Bottomfeldt. Every

Hatchet Man And Patriot
To the Editor: Yes, Mr. Ed
itor, Senator Kuchel did lash
out on the Senate floor at his
conservative constituents (M.
T. Editorial 7-4-83). And too
few of our citizens grasped
the meaning of this startling,
vitriolic outburst.
The left wing has become
bit frantic because, in spite of
our controlled and managed
news, two many alarmed
Americans are waking up too
rapidly. So you might say that
the big life and struggle is
now on. The traitors, the mind
washers, the appeasers, and
the vote hungry demagogues
have decided to destroy and
annihilate the fearless Con
servatives who have dared to
expose their satanlc machin
ations. From all appearances U. S.
Senator Thomas Kuchel of
California has been chosen as
'hatchet man" for the "left."
Intentionally or not, he has
certainly laid his hand upon
the dagger of smear and drove
it straight into the back of
the right wing patriot. He has
labeled us fright peddlers"
who are more dangerous than
the Communists (the current,
phony, Red "line"). He con
fessed his own panic by re
vealing that inundation ot
mail from his right wing con
stituents had overwhelmed
him.
The blow that brought the
most pain to the Kuchel crowd
and the entire Kennedy ad
ministration was the multi
plied thousands of letters to
Congress exposing and pro
testing the proposed disarm
ament ("treason") treaty
which would transfer all U.S.
Armed Forces to the United,
Nations. I ciety senator tvu
chel to prove that , this pro
posed treaty does not exist.
Another dagger pointing at
the heart of America which
the right wing has exposed,
infuriating Mr. Kuchel into
trying to brand it as an out
right falsehood, is that the fol
lowing representatives of the
Soviet Union have consecu
tively held the position of
head of the military affairs
committee of the United Na
tions: Arkady Sobelov (1946 to
1949), Konstantine Zynchenko
(1930 to 1953), lllya Tcherny-
shev (1953 to 1957), A. Dobry-
nln (1957 to 1960), Georgy
Arkadev (1960 to 1962), Eu
geny Kiseliv (1962 till now).
In other words there has
never been anybody but a So
viet red at the head of the
UN military secretariat. I
challenge Senator Kuchel to
prove that this is not so. He
can't do it. The UN records
stand in his way. This explains
why even Congress is fright
ened by the plan in Publica
tion 7277, which is nothing
less than the surrender of our
military forces to the enemy.

attending as an interested

the august Board Chambers
(a sixth grade classroom dur
ing daylight), when I was ap
proached by a once-young
lady in a black velveteen
evening gown, false eyelashes
and a feather boa.
"Honey," she whispered in
a husky voice as she stroked
my cheek and looked deep in
to my eyes, "buy Katzenbach

go with it."
Thank you, I said, but I
didn't happen to need any

Was she herself, I ask

happily. "Honey, I will tell
you the story of my life for

undercutting weaknesses.
Let's consider Joe, who
owns the new restaurant in
town. He hires, or "exploits,"
15 workers. Was it luck that
put Joe in his position? And
what about Mack, who works
in Joe's kitchen. Is it luck that
keeps him there?
Joe is in a profit-making
position because of his own
ambition and yearning. Mack,
on the other hand, works in
the kitchen because he has
felt no urgent need to preson
and on into a position which
would satisfy more than just
his essential needs. It would
be wrong to say Mack has
failed-that Is for Mack to de
termine. But it must also be
wrong to call Joe an exploiter
of humanlty-a parasite-simp-ly
because he has had a yearn
ing to spend his time on earth
pursuing more than bread and
wine. He has longed for and
finally obtained the owner
ship of his restaurant. Perhaps
his hunger will drive him on
to more restaurants-m ore
buildings and stools and tables
and chairs which he can call
his own. Doesn't Joe's spirit,
that something that drives
him harder than others, merit
a profit for it's labor?
"Profit does not add one whit
to value . . ." Mr. Wirth states.
Perhaps the profit Joe makes
from each bowl of soup does
not add value to the dinner.
It does add value to the effort
Joe has put forth in building
his restaurant. It increases in
the eyes of Joe and others the
worth of personal ambition
and sheer Yankee guts.

ambition which brought about
a place for the 15 employees

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As this is written, the Na
tional Safety Council is hop
ing it can scrap its gloomy
prediction of a possible new
all-time record for highway
deaths in the U. S. A. over
the 1963 Independence Day
week end.
It had estimated that from
Wednesday evening until mid
night Sunday the total for the
five nights and four days
might run from a minimum of
550 to a maximum of 650 traf
fic deaths.
QUESTION;
Do you reckon we Amer
icans MIGHT be getting a lit
tle more sensible in our holi
day driving habits?
Let's hope so.
INCIDENTALLY
The all time record for
traffic deaths for a summer
holiday week end was set on
Memorial Day of this year
when 525 traffic fatalities
were counted.
The high mark for an Inde
pendence Day long week end
was set in 1961, when 509 peo
ple died in highway crashes.
FROM Moscow:
The Soviet Union fired
two blasts at Red China on
the eve of peace talks between
the two feuding communist
powers In Moscow. The Rus
sian communist party central
committee issued a statement
accusing the Chinese of slan
der, meddling and "aggravat
ing relations."
The Soviet Foreign Ministry
later issued a sharp statement
rejecting Red China's "tenden
tious lecture" over the expul
sion last week of five Chinese
from Moscow for distributing
an attack on Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's leadership of
the world communist move
ment. 1
The broadcasts said Com
munist China would reply to
the latest Soviet blasts later
when it meets the Russians
face to face In the big pow
wow. It termed the Russian
charges "distortions of -the
truth."

You ought to be ashamed
of
yourselves, fighting and
of the French position inter

her relationship with the At
lantic alliance.
No Hope '
Moscow dispatches now are
referring to the "almost hope
less" attempt to salvage any
thing from the once monolith
ic Communist bloc that strech-
ed from the Pacific to the
Adriatic. In fact they-are say
ine that the exchange of in
sults between the Soviet
Union and Red China make
it almost impossible for the
two Communist giants to
agree even on the simplest
matters of normal diplomatic
protocol. Moscow observers
are predicting a complete
Soviet ideological, political
and strategic reorientation
which may have its effect on
the tri-power nuclear test
talks to begin, in Moscow July
15. U. S. delegate Averell Har
riman is expected to arrive in
Moscow at the end of this
week for preliminary sound
ings on what appears to be
a reasonable chance to break
the nuclear deadlock and
achieve at least a partial test
ban agreement.
Boisterous Youth
For the last two weeks,
rowdy tactics of the minority
Socialists have kept the Japa
nese Diet in an uproar. Op
posed to them is a cynical and
faction - ridden majority of
Conservatives which can ram
bills through at any time it
wishes. Apologists for this
sorry state point out that real
parliamentary government in
Japan is only 11 years old.
Before that, the American oc
cupiers and the emperor, re
spectively, held the ultimate
control. Moreover, the mi
nority Socialists have no
chance of winning power in
the near future, and this
makes them irresponsible.

munist line turned inside out;
it was also that his attitudes
and reactions were the same
as theirs, only "right-handed"
instead of "left-handed."
He had what mother used
to call "a plaster for every
sore." His conversation was
made up of a vast supply of
cliches and labels and sero
types to cover all situations.
There was no doubt, no
modifications, no qualifica
tions, no admitting that
problems are difficult and
good men may not agree.
Like the Communists, his
world was divided into
black and white; the "loyal
Americans" and the "trai
tors," conscious or uncon
scious. He would yield not
an Inch, for he possessed the
absolute gospel truth. Those
who could not see it were
fools or dupes or rogues.
It is an interesting psych'
ological fact the sealots on
opposite sides of questions
are more alike than they aia
different; they differ in ab
stract principles, but their
motivations and attitudes
are quite similar. Fascism
and Communism are ugly
twins, for they share the
same deformation of the
human spirit, only curved in
opposite directions.
And it is no accident that
the official title of the Nazi
party was "National Social-ist"-for
Hitler was shrewd
enough to appeal to both ex
tremes of fanatical thought in
Germany; to those who be
lieved in "Germany Over
All," and to those who wanted
a collectivist society on a na
tional level.
Nor was is any more an
accident that the Communists
in Germany combined with
the Fascists to vote against
the Social Democrats and
other moderate forces; for
both extremes recognize that
their true enemy is the hu
mane spirit, and they despise
the man in the middle mora
than they hate each other.
The man in the middle is
tentative, wary of generaliza
tions, suspicious of slogans
and rigid systems of thought,
unwilling to condemn blocs
of people for the faults of
some in the group, and trust
ing the essential decency of
men rather than forces or re
pression. In these basic re
spects, the zealots on both ex
tremes have more in common
with each other than they
have with the rest of us.
