the season opening this afternoon
friday at 2:30 when they tan
gle with the strong Hallsboro eleV-

Coach S. w. Caruso stated today
that his team is slightly hampereo
by the injury of Fred Soles, vet
eran of last years team and stel'
lar half back. Soles will probably
see some action today but a spraln
ed leg may hinder his top perform
ance.
81 hope we will have a good
clean and scrapping ball club or
the field that will fight from the
beginning to the end," Coach Ca
russo said. "That's all that can be
said about the game today"
HalIsboro was one of the lead
ing teams in this area last year
although the local eleven broke
even for the season with win anc
loss with that aggregation.
Harold Ward, who never played
football before this year, has
shown up we'll in scrimmage ses-
sions and will get the starting as

the creation of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
---or, as most good citizens prefer
to call it. THE WOod-Rankin I'm
American Committee.
THIS incredible committee,
which purports to inquire into
un-American activities, is actual
1y the legalized spearhead of re-
action in America. Again and
again, it has used power given it
by Congress to hound and per-
secute anti-fascists, at the same
time giving clean BID of health
to men like Gerald L. K. Smith.
And anyone who resists the
star-chamber, Nazi-like procedure
of this committee, is cited by
them for contempt of Congress.
Speaking of this un-American
committee, the Washington Post
said editorially:
1T has invited and provoked,
if it has not justified, contempt
as an expression of traditional
American independence and
self-resrect."
1 CAN underline those words.
1 had the honor of being exam
ined by this committees usual,
in closed chamber behind
locked doors: and it was enough
to chill your blood simply to
watch men like Rankin, Wood,
Adams, and Parnell Thomas per-
forming in the same room. Tt
was the breath of Adolf Hitler,
hot on your neck, the close hor-
rOr of the Brown House OF Ber-
lin, and the verbal use of the
rubber truncheon. and the knout-
ed whip. 1t was the technique of
fascism, with all its filth and
rotten inuendo, at work in Wash
ington, D. c., under the guise of
preserving Americanism.
What is Americana and what
is un-American, and since this is
a permanent committee we have
been discussing, word or two
in definition might not be out of

We might start with lexicon
of what is un-American I'M
American in the light of every
thing glorious in our history, UNI
American in the light of the
credo of every great man this
land produced, un-American in
the light of our Declaration of
Independence and our Constitu-
ton, un-American in the light of
the dreams dreamed by the peo-
pie of this land, the hopes they
live by.
