residents in Imperial Friday night
They must, he declared, overcome
the indifference to the danger
which surrounds them.
Chief Davis said he had no quar-
rel with other types of government
because they had no international
system for the destruction OF all
other governmental forms while
the Communists do have that sys-
tenn now working.
The Imperial County Peace Of
ficers association invited Chief Da-
vis' and Captain William Hynes,
commander of the radical squad of
the Los Angeles police department,
to address members of the organ
ization and as many residents as
could be accommodated in the I'm
perial American Legion hall.
Captain Hynes described a mass
of Communistic newspapers. maga-
zines and posters confiscated by the
red squad. The display included
membership cards, books and
pamphlets used in furthering the
Communistic idea in the Los An
geles area, Hynes declared.
The display was explained before
and after the formal speaking pro-
gram by Hynes and txo of his as
SiStants from the Los Angeles po-
lice department.
Bunco Men
THE master bunco men of the
age with a greed for power" was
the manner in which Davis charac-
terized the Communists. "They are
making every attempt to create a
contempt and hatred of the gov
ernment," he continued, land are
entering our lives from every pos
sible angle"
He described the various fronts
upon which the Communists are
advancing upon this nation, the
youth, the pastorate, the racial, the
industrial and the political The
whole nation has been divided by
the Communists into districts with
California, Nevada and Arizona
comprising the thirteenth district.
Communists make their strongest
appeal to the gullible and to the
intellectuais who crave the power
they think they could command
under a Communistic government
and which they cannot get under
the present competitive system, the
speaker said.
Both classes are so weak that
they are willing to compromise
everything to gain a dream of life
without work and undeserved pow
er. They are willing to trade their
present freedom for the surfdom
they would have if the Communists
gained control.
"A wonderful life of ease is the
bait held out to the gullible and
the indifference of the strong mind
ed plays into the hands of the Com
muniSts. Law enforcement officers
who have come to know and un-
derstand what is happening, must
provide the protection needed.
Should the Communistic forces go
into power the workers would find
their present capitalistic employers
succeeded by taskmasters worse
than the ancient Egyptians, more
driving, more cruel, more ruthless.

YDNEY. Australia.-There will

Youdale, who twice managed
Australian Davis Cup squads in

The Americans, he thinks. will
be all through after they encounter
Jack Crawford, Vivian McGrath

zone final at Philadelphia. Then
the Australian trio will wade right
on through Germany, probably, and
wind up by trimming the British in
the challenge round at Wimbledon,
says he.

l. 1.-THE dizziest pitcher in the

are reunited again, as you probably
detected If you were in the wide-eyed
mob of 10000 who watched Buck New
som make the Red Sox roll over and
play dead yesterday at Mr.. Grifhth's

Back a couple Of months ago, it may
be recalled, Manager Bucky Harris
advised the goofy but gallant Mr..
Newsom to take his dippy .wind-up,
throw it in the ash can and make
sure the lid was put on tight.
The theory was that Newsom
would have better control, and
1t sounded like q very good
theory.
For a while 1t worked wonderfully.
Bashful Buck breezed home in all ex-
hibition games, and won his first three
starts in the American League cham
pionship campaign.
Then, suddenly and without
warning, Buck discovered he
no longer was held In awe by
opposing batters. They slammed
him to inflict three straight
defeats, and sent MIR. Newsom
TO pondering.
