The fact that proper aid to
veterans is a paramount issue In
the post war period was illus

of the Seattle School Board to

men and women standing ON the
threshould Of life are drafted and
carted off to war. that every

for their aid, future development
and rehabilitation should be grant

to civil life.
While the Broadway High
School decision by the School
Board is highly controversial and
brought forth storm OF pro-

district. with all things considered,
II we chose to be fair. the School
Board should be complimented,
While the school is landmark

aside from its use for veterans,
it is practically In the heart of

General Statements
The most dangerous threat to
the American form of government
is the rapidly increasing power of
pressure groups. one Of which, the
CLIO Political Action Committee,
has overshadowed the present adj
pinistration in debating or veto.
ing legislation and matters of ma
tional and international policy. I
am definitely opposed to domi-
nation of the PAC or any other
pressure group. be it communistic,
business, veteran. racial or reli-
Eious. that attempts to divide the
American public into political
blocks. whose primary objective is
that of organizational or indiyid-
nal benefit rather than PUBLIC
In character. We are ONE nation
and ONE people indivisible.
There is no such thing as fair
competition between government
and business. Government must be
taken out of the legitimate field
of private business as rapidly as
is possible. Our government must,
of course, exercise the power to
regulate the public welfare, BUT
indiscriminate RECOMMENDATION and
regulation of either business or,
labor Is national suicide.
The FREEDOM of the individ-
ual is still the strongest and the
most enduring force in the world
today. We are in danger Of losing
that freedom.

The postwar era Of confusion
throughout the world can be
viewed as nothing but a specific
plan to supplant Christianity with
Goddess Materialistic Communism.
From global concept the sin
lister Red Fascist Forces are
reaching down to the "plenums,
cadres and cells" of the state and
city governments of our own be-
loved country.
Small but vocative subyersive
groups with able leadership, and
strong propaganda agencies at
their command are now busy try
Ing to upset our moral and eco
nomic balance by pitting class
against class-religions against re-
ligions-and labor against bust
ness.
To the ordinary American citi-
zen the election of a State Legis-
iature is unimportant. but to the
Communist it is SO important that
he doesn't pay much attention to
City Comptrollers, County Asses
sors, Treasurers. coroners, etc.
who only administrate laws. The
Communist knows that the State
Senators and Representatives can
make laws at Olympia, which
could put restrictions on labor, tax
people out of business and-bank
rupt the State of Washington.
These enemies of the American
way of life could then very well
say that free enterprise and the
profit system is a failure and
State Socialism is the answer.
In several Legislative Districts
they are out to defeat those who
do not agree with their commu-'
nistic philosophy.
Their strategy to divide and
rule is very evident to many in
cur own 37th Legislative District.
knowing this to be a Democratic
District at the present time they
feel that they must defeat SEN
ATOR kelvin HYNEHAN in the
Primary Election.
Because one of their fellow
travellers had a Catholic back
ground at one time they had him
file against HENEHAN.
It's up to you'll you have not
yet registered to vote in the cleo
ton this July-DO 1T NOW-The

ing the comptroller to proceed to
obtain plans and specifications for
a building to house the Rex Brasil
er collection Of paintings of birds
of North America. This has been
de- DTibed as probably the finest os
cD.h collections. not excepting the
Audubon paintings. l. was acquired
by the state a few years ago, and
has been In storage. because there
is no place In which to display It.
Now that the war is over, and peo-
pie are reSuming their normal ways
OF life, the state is moving to pro-
vide a home for the collection.
Even before the state bought
these paintings it had been pro-
posed that a building be erected
at Kent Falls park TO house them.
That site was suggested because
it is one OF the most beautiful Of
the state parks, in the Litchfield
Hills, the haunt Of birds and ami
mails and visited each year by thou
sands Of nature lovers. II also had
been proposed that It be shown IN
the State Library Building.
Now the finance commission tells
the comptroller to 60 ahead With
plans for a building on property
owned by the state between wal
lingford and Meriden on the Wilbur
Cross parkway. The site Is recon-
mended by the special commission
which has the Brasher collection in
charge. Of which Publisher william

After the comptroller has prepared
the plans and specifications It viii

for the building from the General
Assembly. Considering the immense
value Of the project to the educa-

tie state, there should not be much
difficulty about getting the sppro-
priation. The Brasher Collection
deserves the best possibly display.
