Zany, But Crackpot Can Be Dangerous
(By George Dixon


 WASHINGTON-Isn'ti it about time we realized that Henry Wallace is merely out of date?-That in oden days he would have spent his time hopping around on live coas putting his head against stone pillar, all the while shriekng mad gbberish?
 Anyone who ever observed him closely here in Wash ington when he upholding the dignity of the vice. presidency by running wild fgureeights in the snow and babbling ncoherences should have tabbed him Mad Mullah-just as fantastc-and just dangerous
 The of all crack-pot zealos is that they hove lucid moments in which they can plot their serpenne Most of them also have the gift of exhortng he muttudes; their very zaniness being taken for bazn sincerity.
 Everyone who has had any dealings with American Communists has been struck by this that staggering percentage of them defectiveS
 jThe normal and healthy rarity in the rank and file. The leaders, of course, smart-but they these defectves carry the orders passed from Moscow.
 To dreadful extent, American Communism is ~ef uge of the disgruntled and railing agains+ fate because the potters hand slipped in the making
 Maybe what need is an amendment to the bill now pending in COngress-to treat alcoholics as hospital Maybe should establish some hospital wards for our homegrown Reds?
 Wallace has got a lot of our statesmen all worked LID his latest erupton his speech urging Britain side with this country against Russia In balanced mind this would be pretty close to treason.
