Australian Awareness
OF Communism Peril
Reported Spreading

BRISBANE, Australia, Mar. 10
(CDN).-A over Australia, from
governmental inner sanctums to
local pubs, these days come country
wide rumblings attesting the new
public awareness Of the Red men
ace.
Everybody talks about commu-
nism and the extent of its hold on
the nation.
Some wax hysterical, like the un-
shaved laborer who waved his beer
glass angrily and shouted, They
ought to line these bloody CONS
against the bloody wall and bloody
well shoot them!" Others are more
optimistic, like the businessman who
said, This isn't Czechoslovakia.
There is no danger here as long as
we have prosperity
But by and large the conviction
seems to be hardening that the Red
threat has become serious In Aus
trana and that it's about time some
body stopped it.
Red Activity Mounts.
Certainly, there has been consid-
cradle evidence of Communist activ-
ity In certain sections of the coun-
try during recent months.
In the Red-dominated Queens
land railroad strike, now in its Sec
ond month, the Communist tech
nique has unfolded in a matter that
becan as an industrial dispute and
mushrocmed into Red defiance of
both arbitration and the state gov
ernment.
Eight known Communists and
their fellow travellers some from
other states-seiZed control of the
strikers disputes committee. A Com
munist politician harangued strikers
who wanted to return to work
When cracks in the Red front
threatened, frightened men and
women reported threats Of violence
II they refused to toe the party line
Ports Blockaded.
With 10 unions already involved
the Reds succeeded in pulling out
seamen and waterside workers
unions for blockade of Queensland
ports, leaving many towns depend
ent on emergency plane and truck
deliveries for meager food supplies.
So grim was the government po-
sition that Premier Edward M.
Hanlon proclaimed state of emer-
gency and invoked sweeping police
powers. Picketing was banned and
arrest threatened for any one trying
to prevent strikers from returning to
work under Hanlon's return to
work or lose your job" order.
The Queensland Premier also
moved to muffie Communist voices
by requesting state newspapers and
radio stations not to print or broad.
cast statements by strike leaders.
Despite these desperate measures
the Reds persuaded the strikers to
defy the governmnt.
Strikes May Spread.
Furthermore, the Queensland
strikes threaten to spread to other
sections of the country which have
strong Communist influence. In
Victoria and New South Wales, for
example, Red action has brought a
threatened ban by Southern Rail-
road unions on traffic with Queens
land.
Meanwhile, House of Representa-
tatives demands that the Common
wealth government outlaw the Com
munist Party have gotten nowhere
with Australian Prime Minister Jo-
seph B. Chif1ey.
Mr.. Chifey says his Labor Party
will not ban aany class of political
philosophy" although it is entire
ly opposed" to communism. And
he is backed by a labor-controlled
Parliament.
Opposition members want the ban
on the Communist Party, lifted
when Russia became a wartime
ally, reimposed. They also want all
foreign-born Communists deported.

'Church Leaders Urqe
Study Of Age Problem
By staff Correspondent Of The stor

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1.-Two out OF
every 10 persons in the United States
will be over so years old within the
next Is years, the Committee on
Religious Ministry to Older People
said in biennial report to the
Federal Council of Churches meet
ing today.
Older people in the country are
becoming an increasingly larger
group numerically and proportion
ally to the total population OF the
Nation, the report pointed out. In
1910 there were nearly 14,000, 900
persons over go years old. an in
crease from ga per cent in 1900 to
10.5 per cent in 1910. Both the pro-
portion and the numbers are ex-
pected to double by 1878.
This poses serious problem to
the Nation, the report said. More
people are living many years after
their productive days are over, and
few are able to save enough to last
them through their retirement. This
places greater burden on the COM
munity than had been previously
felt, especially since few older peo-
pie are wanted as workers by most
businesses, the statement said.
There are, however. many ways in
which older people may be used in
the economic life Of the Nation II
society will but gear itself to make
use of them. the report said. Such
use would not only tighten the bur-
den on families and taxpayers but
would also add considerably ito the
self-respect, security and happiness
of older people.
Ministers and lay church leaders
were urged by the report to consider
this aspect Of a growing national
problem, and to devise ways OF help
ing meet the situation.

have specific jobs and must brief
the Chief Executive on matters
which are in their province. AS
long as Admiral Leahy was Chief of
Staff to the Commander in Chief
there was no need to have special

Now, however, Mr.. Truman feels
he must have such an assistant, and
while it is uncertain at this time
who the man will be, it Is known
that he must be fully versed in such
matters without being a regular

After he organized the Central

but instead of permitting him
to return to business, asked him
