BEIRUT NEA - The over-rid-ing
fear of many Lebanese to
whom I have talked is that a
premature withdrawal of Ameri

their nation at the mercy of the
Communists.
No one here doubts that a left

chain around the neck of her 12-year-old
son were freed on proba

uncontrollable.
William Gutherie, 72 and his
wife Myrtle. 4S, climaxed their
hearing yesterday by testifying
her son William Gerald Jones had
been expelled from school for
holding a knife against a girl's
back.
Municipal Judge Ray Baugh
said, "You have a real problem.
The greatest good that can be ac
complished in this case is that the
;boy be taken from the custody
rot his parents."
He made the boy a ward of the
court and sent him to a mental

He placed the parents on pro-

and leave only an inadequate U.N.

But that would be only the first
step in the Communist subversion.

conflicting claims of rival politi

forces that the Communists are all
but ignored which suits them
perlectly.
Outlawing the party actually has
favored it. making its memhars

levels of the rebel ranks, working
quietly so as not to embarrass the
rebel chiefs.

are the facts about Ihe party that

Lebanese and Syrian Commu

The leader is a Moscow-trained
Syrian, Kalid Bakdash. the wiliest

wealthy family, became' the first
Communist elected to an Arab
parliament when he polled 17.000
votes in the 1954 Syrian elections.
Bakdash makes frequent trips to
Moscow for instructions. He is the
No. 1 man and Ihe most feared
by non-Communists.
Another able leader is Antoine
Tabet, lawyer and architect, but
best known for his editorship of a
Beirut Communist Magazine which
once won for him a Stalin Peace
Prize.
Rebel chief Raschid Karame.
who controls the northern port
city of Tripoli, has a Communist
brother. Raschid complains pri
vately that his brother, Maan Kar
ame, is trying to run the show.
The Communist leaders in Leb
anon and Syria are mostly law
yers, doctor, teacher and engi
neers. The party membership of
20.000 divided roughly half-and-half
between the two nations
may not seem large, but no other
political party has as many mili
tant adherents.
And it is well to remember that
Russia's Bolsheviks numbered only
23.000 on the eve of the 1917 revolution.
In the present Lebanese crisis,
the Communist are equally at
home on the barricades or in the
salons of such millionaire politi
cians a former premier Hussein
Oueini.
In Oueini's miniature Versailles
Palace overlooking the Mediterra
nean, the Reds quote the Koran to
allay the fears of the middle class
politicians.
But to the masses, they preach
hatred of the West and friendship
for the Soviet Union and Nasser.
