Another Powerful Weapon

Is the United States attitude to-
ward national defense becoming COM
placent because of the false security
created by it's reported exclusive pos
session of the atomic bomb?
Does this nation feel that, because
of this terrifying weapon, it has the
upper hand and will continue to hold it
for several years?
We cannot answer those questions
but we feel, with the country's thoughts
centered N atomic energy as an instru-
ment of destruction, it is overlooking
another weapon held by a great coun-
try which, should we 60 to war again,
could be converted into a most power
full one against us. This danger is the
Communist party in the United States.
Overnight, it could become tho worlds
mightiest Fifth Column. 1t could and

duction. Its damaging tactics could BE-

Astronomers described the BASH

that in the corse Of a normal

the sun appeared to be no more
than 20 or rs per cent obscured by
the marauding moon. The eclipse
occurred here from about II am.

Saturday night while they are

orally regardes as sacreligious and
among everyone present there will
be revealed a type of cynicisn that
is becoming almost everywhere evi
dent among young Negroes as re-
CARDS the preachers and the
churches in general. What's caus-
ing this growing attitude ought to
lie more the concern OF those
whose business it is to preach and
run the churches but ii springs
from the fact that the doings of
the preachers and the church folks
are becoming more and more the
subject OF town gossip seemingly
every day. Up at Parish Street
