These included the statement

who expressed confidence that

.suo1a~ liking Officers See
Il ar Threat, But Boom
erang Later

WASHINGTON, Oct. ~ -W.D-
High-r anking officers of the
armed forces believe that re-
vival of the Communist Inter
national is another step toward
war and that, in the long run,
it will boomerang against the
Russians.
Questioned about the military
aspects of the maneuver, Army
and Airforce officers who wish
ed to remain anonymous, said
the move may weaken the Com
munist position because it will
tend to arouse worldwide op-
position to a Moscow organiza-
ton trying to control the gov
ernments of other countries.
They said that when Premier
Josef Stain proclaimed the
death of the Comintern in 1913,
Communist agitators merely
went underground and kept
right on working. The resurrec-
ton, they said, definitely brings
the CT into the open as a foe
of the Marshall Europen re-
Mobilization plan.
Backing Needed
One general staff officer said
the development means that the
Marshall plan must be backed
to the hilt because it involves
a showdown conflict between
two basic ways of life. He pre-
dlcted further that the Ameri-
can people would now be more
aroused against Communist
agents.
He said there was no doubt
that the Russians want to con-
troll all Of Europe politely and
economically, then concentra ate
on penetrating the Western
Hemisphere to undermine tn e
United States position.
Another officer said it is well
known that the Communists are
organizing a branch Of the
Comintern in this hemisphere,
with cells in every South Amer
lean country Brazil and Uru-
quay.
Declares War
Still another said the Soviet
Union had, in effect, "declared
war" and ''if we won't watch
out the bombs will soon start
falling.
Several officers thought that
the Russian move would result
in much tighter controls on
this country and those seeking
to come here with State De
partment approval.

The first person in America to bag 100 of the vermin will
be given $10G by the veterans organization.
To keep the count straight, the rats must be taken to a
local county clerks office, where a receipt will be made out
stating the date and time of day of each kill.
The drive will be directed by Capt. George H. Names of
Flint, head of the Army and Navy Unions food conservation
committee.
