extend the existing plant capacity

war without undue expansion of

Enter, Cen. DooIittIe

NEVER in so short time in American history has
there been a parade of many great American
heroes through the minds of the people in that period
from Dec 7, 1941. until today-less than six months
There are Gen. Douglas Macarthur, Capt. Colin
Kelly (peace his heroic soul Buckley Wheess, Tom
Jones, Jonathan Wainwright and those thousands of
anonymous men-Americans and Flipinos-who fought
and died the fox holes of Bataan and the helhoe of
Corregidor.
Now into the pantheon of our heroes comes Brgadier
General Jimmie" Dooltte whose whole life symbolizes
THE AMERICAN IN ACTION.

first blow she has ever felt in 1900 years.

The FIRST to fly land plane at more than 300 miles

Traitors to Their Sex

A PRETTY bad precedent established yesterday
"A in recorders court where a complaining witness
refused to testify against his wife because she only shot
him once.
This declaration, striking body blow at what few
shreds of personal security husbands still retain bad
enough in itself But it made douby ominous for
husbands because it really inspired and abeted by
Judge Arthur Gordon who has been generally considered
an outstanding husband and good smart jurst
Judge Gordon knows full well that principle OF
law has been established it will be twisted and revised
and amended until ultimately loses all resemblance to
its original purpose Judge Gordon has tried enough
criminals to realize that when in spot he should
keep his mouth tight.
Yet in spite of all his knowledge and all his experience
the judge reckessy agreed with the complaining husband
that wife entitled to free shot at her husband hit
miss.
EVEN if she is, Judge, (which this newspaper stouy
Z refuses either affirm deny) why did you have to
come out and say SO? Can't you visualize the conse-
quences of your needless crack?
Can't you cunning lawyer arguing that if
In circumstances wife is entitled to single shot at her
husband in circumstances she should be permitted
couple? Can't you the Supreme Court struggling with
the proposition that if wife allowed shot from
standing position that should not dsqualify her from
one shot kneeling and still another prone?
The possibilities gruesome, Judge. Husbands
Keeling around punch-drunk from lodging bullets, and
wives wearing shoulder holsters not to mention passion
ate controversies over closed seasons All we can say,
Judge is that if you yourself should suffer flesh wound
from rcochetting bullet it will be strictly your
fault.

John H. WITHERSPOON, former assistant corporation

commissioner In many ways his job is the toughest

Mr. Witherspoon has fine record in the corporation

a good public servant
This newspaper wishes him every success in his diff
fcult berth He won't far wrong if he follows the
pattern laid down by his predecessor Frank Eaman who

THE deportation order issued
i against Harry Bridges by Attor-
ney General Biddle is of course
subject to appeal, and is therefore
inconclusive.
Mr. Biddle himself says the ave-
nues of appeal open to Bridges make
it possible for final decision to be
delayed at least another year.
And since court decisions can
not be anticipated, and the Bridges
deportation case has been "on again
and off again" almost as often as
the legendary Finnegan, the ultimate
conclusion capnot be foreseen.
But the decision made in the
Bridges case by Attorney General
Biddle is not important alone because
of the deportation order.
1t is probably more important,
and certainly extremely important,
because it gave an authoritative and
official answer to question about
the Communist Party which the
American people have wanted an
SWefed Tor long Time.
THE question is this: Is the Com
1 munist Party of the United
States an organization that believes
in and advocates the overthrow of
the government of the United States
by force and violence?
Here is Mr.. Biddle's answer,
given as the basis of his decision re-
curing the deportation of Mr..
Bridges:
"The Communist Party of the
United States, a section of the So
called Third International was
founded in 1919; and, after it's name
was changed several times, finally
became The Communist Party of the
u. S. A. in 1929.
"The Third international adj
vocated the class struggle, which was
described as entering the phase Of
civil war in America.
Illegal methods were also adj
vocated, where necessary, to carry on
it's work; systematic agitation in the
army; the renouncing of patriotism;
and the revolutionary overthrow of
capitalism.
"The Communist Party teaches
the violent overthrow of existing gov:
ernments, including the United
States. This concept reaches back to
the famous manifesto of Marx and
Engels which declares; THE com
munists disdain to conceal their
views and aims. They openly declare

by the forcible overthrow of all exist
ing social conditions.
NOV, whatever the courts finally
y do about Mr.. Bridges, that
opinion about the Communist Party
delivered by an attorney general of
the United States will always
STAND.
1t is not involved in any appeal:
1t is based on voluminous and
irrefutable evidence.
1t is the stark TRUTH.
The American government may
not conduct itself according to that
truth.
The American Congress may not
enact comprehensive and adequate
legislation embracing it.
The American people may not
demand and insist upon action by
government and Congress conforming
to it.
But it is officially in the nation s
record, now and for all time begin
ming now, that the Communist Party
exists for the purpose of destroying
the American government, has pur-
sued that purpose in the past, is now
pursuing it, and will continue to
pursue it as long as it is permitted to
exist.
MR.. BRIDGES becomes a second
lVl airy figure beside this thing of
greater Importance.
He is involved because as an
alien in the United States he was
accused of affiliation with the Com
munist Party, and was fairly tried on
the charge, and although called guilty
of it by Mr.. Biddle still has free ac-
cess to all democratic American chan
nels of appeal and decision.
But whether Bridges is put out
of the country or permitted to remain,
the Communist Party will still be
here, and will still believe in and adj
vocate forceful and violent overthrow
of the American government as long
as America is content to harbor and
protect an organization with that
sinister purpose.
Attorney General Biddle has put
the American people on their guard
against a great danger. He cannot do
more. What the nation does for its
own protection, and requires of gov
eminent and Congress for its future
welfare and security. is strictly
matter of national action and duty.
