RED UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT
SEEN GROWING IN EUROPE


(NIEA Service Military Writer)
Washington, Jan. 19-The ',secret
war; which Communists long have
been waging beneath the surface Of
German dominated Europe now
may break into the open at widely
scattered points.
Reports of revolt and rioting In
Bulgaria are regarded here as In
dication that the Communist move
ment at last has become strong
enough to burn through its UNDER
ground channels.
The Communists are conceded to
be the most potent Of all the lln-
foreground societies thrusting up
ward against Killers New Order in
the occupied countries. The Com
munist movement is stronger and
better. organized than any Of the
underground movements directed
from London by the exiled govern
ments, Is is believed.
In France the Communists I'M

In Bulgaria, whose people are so
Russian the government has not

VETS, Communism Is SO strong
that any day the occupying Ger
mans may have to face not only
riots and strikes, as now, but out
right revolution.
In Rumania the Communist
movement rivals the Iron Guard,
and Is stimulated by heavy Ru-
manian losses in Russia.
CANTOUFLAGED REDS,
In Germany, Republicans and
Liberals have turned to the Com
munists for leadership in under
cover work.
Another aspect Of this secret
struggle is the fact that there IS
conflict between the various under
ground movements.
In Poland the underground coah-
ton warning against the Nazis
refuses to ally itself with a Com
munist party that Is camoouflaged
to resemble the popular Socialist
Party. This Communist organiza-
including distributors Of an under

ground newspaper which doesn't
mention Communism but uses all
the Communist arguments. Some
times these teachings are not too
favorable to the western democra-

It is startling. but apparently
true that two radio stations send
ing Communist propaganda into
the Balkan and Baltic States some
times warn their hearers against
British and American "exploita-
tions," while assuring them that the
Russians are their real friends.
These stations-called ironically the
Kosciusko-S Sender and the Chris
tian Sender--are said to be not
necessarily in Russia, perhaps IN
Turkey.
In Yugoslavia, Communists aided
by planes from Russia, were until

passed by the Senate and sent to
the House.
The bill would authorize Tempo

port explained that many small
command groups were involved in
the present war. not of sufficient
magnitude to warrant their being
commanded by rear admiral, yet
such that a flag officer should be in
command.

ton Of the war and six months

to reduce to three years the course

Senator Smith Seeks
Reasons for Increase
In Prices Of Foods
Agriculture Choirmun
Sees Costs 'Sky-Hootine'
Under OPA City Boys
By the Associated Press.

Senator Cotton Ed Smith,
Democrat. of South Carolina was
fixing today to subpoena a mess
of black-eyed peas, hominy grits
and cabbage before Senate
committee to support his con-
tention that grocery prices have
gone "sky-hooting way up out
of proportion to what the
farmer gets for these products.
Those city boys down at the
Office of Price Administration can
wear their pencils out clean up to
the erasers, but they can't deny
that foods getting so high that be-
fore long the poor man won't be able
to touch it with 10-foot pole un-
less something's done.' he said.
AS chairman of Senate Agricul-
ture Subcommittee looking into the
spread between the farm and retail
prices of food, Senator Smith fig
ures the Senators ought to have
definite evidence of what victuals
are selling for-the trace back to
find out what the producer was paid
for them.
So Cotton Ed said he was going
to send out some of his girl clerks
next week to buy groceries and
bring back sales slips showing Just
what they paid for them They
won't order anything fancy-iust
plain old turnips and sweet potatoes
and cabbage.
I'm going to tell 'em to be sure
and get some cabbage" said the
rugged South Carolinian who owns
a farm himself down in Lee County.
And I'm pleased to tell you why.
The other evening Mrs. Smith
wanted halt a head of cabbage to
make some of that cole slaW. Just
enough for her and me. So the
grocery store sent that half a head
OF cabbage up and your eyes will
bug out when I tell you what they
charged for it. TWenty-fiv cents!
And the other day she bought one
OF those little -bitty rock fsh-some
people call them striped bass. 1t was
dollar and a half, and Id like to
bet the man that caught it didn't
get more than a dime.
We're going to see about some OF
those things. The farmer is right in
the smackdab middle of a bad fix,
with hired help hard to get and hav-
ing to fix his wagons and harrows
with baling wire because there aren't
enough spare parts. He's entitled to
enough to live on"
Although the resolution under
which the committee started it's in
vesugation covers. for convenience.
only prices in the District, the mem
bers are seeking to establish the
existence of what they believe to be
a Nation wide trend.
