Bulitt Warns Of Red Threat

government is based on the military
estimate that it is not yet strong
enough to attack the United States
successfully, but must seize addition
al strategic areas and bring more
races and resources under its con-
troll before attacking u.s."
Bullitt Tointed out that Soviet Rus
sia already has clutched 120 100000
Europeans into it's power since the
end of World War II.
Today, he said, it is attempting to-:
Conquer Italy and France by in
ternal action of it's fifth columns.
Conquer China, using the Chinese
Communists, so that it may even
tually mobilize the 450,000.0oO Chi
nese for war against us.
Control all Asia through control
of China.
1--WE must give immediate econo-
mic aid both to China and to Eu-
rope" Bullitt said. eve shall not
find it easy to do. Every dollars
worth Of food, goods or machines
that we send to the menaced coun-
tries must be paid for by the tax
payers of America.
MUST PROTECT ECONOMY
"The capitalist economy of the
United States is today the only
goose that is laying golden eggs
for the entire world.
eff we try to squeeze too many
golden eggs out Of it we shall kill
it.
"We are obliged to draw a fine
line between the maximum. that we
should like to give to foreign coun-
tries and the maximum that we can
give without wrecking our own eco
nomy
"Gen. Marshall, as chief of staff
during the war, faced the same prob
lem in the military field. He was
then obliged to establish military
priorities. Now he will be obliged
to establish economic and financial
priorities. Even so, each one of US
will feel the burden of helping the
free peoples of the world to sur
vive."

Glass warfare, or revolution with

Conquest by the Soviet Union of

Directing it's forces "as the gen.

as offensive weapons not only the
enormous military, political and the
economic power of the Soviet Union,
but also fifth columns in all nations

Bullitt amplified.
Only the United States is still
strong enough to resist the armed
assaults of Soviet imperialism, the
former ambassador asserted.

And if ''we try to srueeze too

These warnings today were SCUM
ded by William c. Bullitt, former
ambassador to Russia, at the Ameri-

"Stalin, like Hitler, will not stop

from the lips of Lenin and Stain.

'The supreme end, the Commu-

it's achievement, including war, murv

By Hsrmun ?. Schoden

The all-American, all-weathe,
topic Of baseball caught up with
the Oldest Inhabitants last night
proving once again that no matter
where you are, or how hot it is
you can still talk baseball.
1t was pretty hot at the Old
Union Engine House when the as
sociation gathered for its August
meeting. But the heat rolled bach
to those summer days years age
when a dinky hit past an inept
second baseman was sheer JOY and
looping double to center field was
q masterpiece in ecstasy.
They had 4 real old timer to lead
of the discussion-W. j. Tights
Madigan, a youngish- looking stall
wart Of 10 who pitched for the
Washingtons back in '86, when "the
game wasn't 30 fast, but the men
were big"
That was about the time, l.
Perry West remembered, when the
catcher-protected only by = face
mask-backed UP to the stands
catching the ball on the second hon
the fIst two strikes. While this
was going on the lone umpire stood
behind the pitcher for protection.
Baltimore Rival Of Mats.
For the third strike the catcher
summoned enough courage to move
in under the bat and the umpire,
with equal disdain for his life, am
bled in to crouch behind the catcher
for the crucial decision.
Those were the he-men days when
1t was coarse" for women to attend
the games, and even some of the
men kept an eye focused on the So
ciai register. Those were the days
when the Mats were National
Leaguers. and Baltimore was q
rival.
Mr.. West flashed back to one aft
ernoon when Tim Hurst was umpir-
ing q game here between the all
conquering Baltimore Orioles and
the Nat ensembue Of that era. It
WAS close game and Mr.. Hurst
had his work fashioned for him
Ed Cartwright, the Washington
first baseman, was called safe ut
