let us think of the world in which
he lived.

ground plots, runors and con-
spiracies. The Romans found Pal
Sstine hardest Of all their pos
sessions to rule. When Jesus was a
boy there was a terrific uprising
near his home, and the Romans
eTucified 1000 people in reprisals.
Established Church
VAE MUST not think there was
w no religion before Jesus was
born. There was too much of it.
that 10. of the wrong sort. The
established church" of Jesus land
vas the Temple at Jerusalem, with
H. complicated ritual, its countless
beasts roasting on the great altar,
IT. white-robed choirs chanting by
day and night.
The High Priest himself was
appointed by the Roman over
lords; chosen for his skill In
rabble-soothing. he held Office
q condition that he could hold
Ne masses in check. However,
the jerusalem temple was =
very small part Of the actual
religious life Of the ordinary
citizen.
Even the most religious would
see the place only a few times a
year. Jesus seldom referred to it,
and 1t was finally the leaders OF
the established church who hound
ed him to his death.
The Sects
THEN as now, not all the religion
L Of the people was confined TO
the official priesthood and Officers
of the church" There were other
religious groups, unofficial sects,
ard not all good. There were the
lSa dducee aristocratic and
wealthy, protesting strictly this
worll religion, not believing in any
life after death and rejecting most
of the Scriptures.
The Pharisees were the I'M
official religious leaders Of
Isracl, as the priests were the
OIL cial leaders. They were the
travelling preachers, the Bible
teachers, the ID. DIS of that
time. Closely associated with

publisher of three small newspapers
in Ventura County. has been booked
on suspicion of grand larceny in
connection with an estimated short
age of $4,000 from the Bank of
Hueneme.
The District Attorney said Mrs.
Ruth Cotton, assistant cashier of
the bank, also has been booked on
suspicion of grand larceny. Both
are in the county jail here. Mr.
Waite said he will present the case
to the grand jury next week
Bank examiners today were check
ing the banks books. Mr.. Waite
said the bank is fully covered by in
surance for any losses.

years in church and civic affairs.

Changing Tactics
| Of Red Conspirutors

throughout the world and
throughout all time a prime facet
of Communist conspiracies has been
the utilization of every device and
protection the law of the land pro-
vides to escape detection, to avoid
punishment and to utilize the safe
guards provided to protect the inno-
cent to establish their goddess tyran-
nv to provide a dictatorship for all
but the favored few.
This committee has witnessed the
constantly changing practice OF
these devices of deceit and this mis-
use of constitutional safeguards by
American Communists since its first
inception.
First, Communists sought to defS
the subpoena power of the Fedora
Government as exercised by the
regularly constitute committee Of
the Congress. Then they resortec
to slander, abusive lnvectlve anc
diabolic mistruths about the Con,
gress as a whole and the member,

activities, seeking to protect them
selves by untruthfully describing
themselves as political party"

Responsibility Is Held
| Attorney Generals

The committee again calls upon
the Attorney General of the United
States to vigorously enforce the ex-
isting espionage and other laws
against those who are participating
in the Communist conspiracy. These
laws should be enforced without re-
gard to partisan or political consid-
erations because the very security of
the Nation is at stake. The failure
of the Attorney General to enforce
the laws as vigorously as he should
has been in large part responsible
for the growth and power of the
Communist conspiracy in the United
States.
The committee again calls upon
the Attorney General to forward to
the Congress At the earliest possible
ening the espionage laws so that
they will be adequate to deal with
the Communist conspiracy. AS long
ago as February 3, the Attorney
General appeared before the Legis-
lative Subcommittee of the Un-
American Activities Committee and
declared that amendments to the es
pionage laws were essential in order
TO meet the new techniques which
had been developed by the Com
munists and other foreign agents
He assured the committee that his
recommendations would be for
warded to the Congress at an early
date. Members of this committee
have repeatedly requested the At
torney General since that time to
give the Congress his recommended
tons for needed changes in the es-
plonage laws and as yet have re-
Ceived no response whatever as to
what changes are needed.
The Attorney General has from
time to time inferred that those who
participated in the Bentley spy ring
might be immune from prosecution
under present laws because of the
In3dequaCY OF those laws. This in
vestigation has shown clearly that a
Well-organized and dangerous es-
pIonage ring operated in the Gov
ernment during the war, and if
present laws are inadequate. as the
Attorney General has inferred, to
prosecute the members of this ring,
It is the solemn responsibility of the
Attorney General to forward to the
Congress Immediately his recon-
mendations for needed changes in
the espionage laws so that the ma
tlonal security can be protected.
n is also imperative that the At
torney General proceed promptly to
all the New York special grand jury
back into session to consider his
recommendations on the disposition
Of the evidence he has placed before
it, The public has the clear right
tn have this proceeding concluded
by indictments where indicated, by
a no true bill where warranted. and
hH a full report by the Attorney
General on his disposition of the
case.
