(By Dorothy Thompson)
 TENS OF THOUSANDS of American youths are in their graves because they fought to keep this country free.
 Now we are asked to weep crocodile tears because four Communist aliens who entered this country illegal y to further the aim of destroying America are detained without bail Ellis Island pending their deportation or sentencing
