WRITER OBJECTS TO UNITED STATES BEING CALLED A
 LAUNDERING DEMOCRACY"
Waterbury, Conn.
 June l, 1946

Waterbury, Conn.
 June 1, 1946
 Editor of The Democrat:
 From a newspaper story of May 22":: Here we had community of 75,000 persons living under mill itary rule, and with no voice in tpeir city's management or in operation of it's local government. Everybody was happy. From a social stand point it was a complete success"
 This man wasn't talking about life in an ant-hill, nor city in Rus sia: he was talking about Oak Ridge, Tenn, United States of America. He was Samuel s. Baxter, Philadel- phia engineer, who helped plan the city that built the atomic bomb.
 The main wrong with this kind of social success is that it leaves out the most essential thing: DEM OCRACY.
 During the war 1t was perhaps necessary that Oak Ridge be a mil- itary controlled community. What every person, who believes in the democratic way of life, objects to is that a community so governed should be held tip as an example of social success. ,r
 On the other hand, I cannot, agree with local newspaper that has said during peace times the United States is or should be, a "blundsr- ing democracy. a.a TT'7 Our community living rests upon controls: self-control and group control. Group control operates through the forces of public opinion and of government. Democracy is based on the principle that the peo- pie control their governments, and make their governments serve their needs for what they feel is good and useful life for all. ''.-',
 As a practical matter, the actual business of running the government is best handled by men who are trained for that kind of work; and one of our biggest failing is that we often elect second-rate men to operate our most important busi- ness. But here, 1t is the people themselves, and not the democratic system, who are to blame.
 Some people, seeing and sorryine over the mass that politicians have made of things, have the idea that it may be best for all concerned ii we turn the governments over en- tirely to the experts. Experts ruled Oak Ridge and on all of them has called the result a social success.
 The main hitch to this type oi government is: What will the ex. perts do with the government; ir whose interest will they run it?' They will run things as they see fit they will control the business of tht

WASHINGTON, June s-Members of the Ku Klux Klan have been sending me anonymous letters threatening all sorts of dire punishment if continue to report on their fy-by-night activity They seem to be aboring under the impression that not only they strike terror into the hearts of defenseess minority groups, but also enjoy torturing others without even being written up in the newspapers. At their Stone Mountain cross-burning, these brazen boys of the cotton nightshirt actually set themselves up sole arbters as to who should take news photos, and manhandled all photographers except those working for Henry Luce's Life Magazine This kind of choosiness to what Is going to be writ ten or published about organization is preroga- tive reserved for John L. Lewis.
 So long as this typewriter has ribbon it will continue to expose the nghtshir boys despite threats to bump off the operator. Here is more inside news on the Ku KIlK Klan's revival
 ATLANTA GA.-Biggest meeting since the war was staged by Chapter No. 1, Atlanta, immediately after the May Stone Mountain cross-burning 25O members present Some were pretty sore over the ufavorable publicity but gloated fact that they had signed up Ransrnen from Atlanta firemen and police
 C9ATTANOOGAzKlan recently burned cross in front of Jewish drug store in the middle of town, warning that Jews must pack up and get out. J. B. Stoner, head of the Elan there continues to peddle copies of the anti-semitc book, Protocols of the Elders of .Zion."
 KNOXVILLE, TENN.-An open meeting of the Klan was held May 18 at the tabernacle of Evan- gelist T. Wesley Hills. Principal speaker was Rev. A. A. Haggard of Maryville, Tenn. This Klan meet ing had something of emotional, almost fanatical lervor The crowd was whipped with the idea that the Klan and God all had the same goals and ideas This is the latest and most dangerous line taken by Klan leaders.
 ASHEvILLE, N. C.-Klansmen now whisper that it was knight of the XXX who shipped the wires during the broadcast of William Green president of the American Federation of Labor, as Green was about to announce an A.F.L. drive to organize the South. This illustrates another XXX. line save America from organized labor and Communism
 In most cities leading ministers and newspapers have been strong in their denunciation of the Klan The Southern Baptist Convention also went on record vigorously against the nightshir boys Despite this they seem to be making headway.
 Only three people knew about it. but last week President Truman was just about convinced that he should withdraw his request for drastic legislation to curb strikes This before the Senate voted to reject the work-or-draft clause in the emergency labor bill
 You've got something there" Truman told Sen- ators Joe OMahoney of Wyoming and Burt Wheeler of Montana, who urged that he withdraw his de- mands of the previous week.
 Your arguments make sense and will give them very earnest consideration" the rresident added.
 The two Western Senators had pointed out that the two major strikes-coal and railroads-were already just about settled, and that the maritime

 THE BITTER TRUTH Oh eggs require but trice, As all can say who try 'em; A little instant should suffice To poach or boil or fry 'em. The fact is generally known The product of the biddies

SUMMER THEATERS
 (Roston Post)

Vacationists here are assuIed of plenty of good entertainment this summer, following the announce ment that 2l seashore and country 'playhouses will be open throughout New England. This area is the pioneer in this form of summer en- tertainment and 1t is pleasing to see that the lead is taken again in the first postwar summer vacation. New Englanders, as well as visitors here, will be looking forward to an influx of Hollywood and legitimate theater stars in the next few months. It should be an enjoyable summer in the entertainment field.
