My answers to your questions are
as follows:
/. The bill adopts the basic philos-
Ophy of publicity and disclosure of
groups proved to be connected with
a foreign power The bill defines
very carefully that no organization
will be required to register as Com
munist organization unless il is estab-
lished that it is under the control of
a foreign Communist government or
is controlled by any organization
which is under the control of foreign
Communist government. This act
cannot be applied to any organization
in this country if it is not connected
with a political power in a foreign
country. The only thing it outlaws
is conspiracy to overthrow the
American government or an attempt
to set up a tOtalitarian dictatorship
in the United States if such dictator
ship were under foreign control. This
bill is not aimed at all Americans who
refuse to bow to the status quo as you
state because, as you know, on the
basis of my record, | have consistent
ly worked for the welfare of the peo-
pie of my state and nation. That
means, better housing, better social
security, cheaper power, raising the
minimum wage, etc.

Am E:RICs.z5 MUST
fight FOR CIVIL
Liberties
By ARTHUR GARFIELD HAYS
General Counsel, American Civil
Liberties Union

All Americans do lip service
Ito the Bill of Rights. Most
Americans, however, believe
not in freedom of speech, but
rather in freedom of speech,
BUT The attacks on our
civil liberties today arouse the
indignation of those who be-
lieve in civil liberties without
the BUT.
The present situation is somewhat
less discouraging to those who recall
instances in American history which
presented a like pattern and find the
hysteria which led to violation of civil
liberties was later replaced by a de-
cent devotion to the Bill of Rights.
HISTORY MAY REPEAT
We may start at the beginning of
our history, when the JeffersOnians
were called Jacobins and generally
regarded as a group acting under in
structions from an alien power,
France. This spirit led to the alien
and seditfon act. Excuses of those
days were largely responsible for the
election of Jefferson as President and
repeal of the. alien and sedition act.
In the middle of the century the
Catholics were the target. In the
1SS0's it was the anarchists and the
knights of Labor Then the attack
was directed against the AFL, which
at the beginning was a radical Organi-
cation. Then came the passage of
criminal syndicalist laws all over the
country aimed at the Industrial Work
ers of the World and the failing of
many of it's members. In the early
1920's came the attacks on the Social
lists, who were accused of being a for
eign movement conspiring against the
U. S. government. Feeling was SO in
tense that in the cosmopolitan state of
New York five Socialist members of
the legislature were expelled. The
Lusk committee of New York was a
forerunner of the Thomas committee.
It's methods were the same and its re-
ports not dissimilar.
Then the CLIO, with which it was
said the Communists were connected !

9, U. S. Constitution.
The Constitution Be Damned
Two years ago in Turkey a peoples
movement was muttering against a
fascist oligarchy. To sustain this fas-
cist clique against the rising tide of
democracy, our congress voted one
hundred million dollars to arm Tur-
key This morning Memorial Day.
the Montana Standard quotes General
MacBride as saying that our eXpend1-
lures in Turkey already are one thous-
and million dollars. The Army has
spent this unauthorized nine hundred
million dollars. The Army is indie
pendent of, and superior to, the civil
power" 1t has scorned the Constitu-
ton by nine hundred million dollars.
But the Army is dependent on, and
subordinate to Monopoly capital
The Westerners Be Damned
In Utah, at cost near one billion
dollars, the government built during
the war the Geneva Steel plant. When
peace came, this was declared surplus
property, to be sold by War Assets
Administration, manned by Army of
ficers. United States Steel Corpora
ton bid less than 4S million dollars
for the plant. A group from Los An
geles bid 200 million dollars for the
plant. The smaller bid was accepted.
One hundred, fifty-two million dollars
of taxpayers money was thus openly,
brazenly, in daylight filched from the
U. S. Treasury; largess to the U. S.
Steel stockholders. No headline OF
this embezzlement appeared in any
paper seen in Butte. Mr. Truman
permitted this. But no Republican,
campaigner for president condemns
it. A Juror of applause would have
greeted Dewey here last week if he
had condemned this act of the Demo
Gratis GU. If he had told of it. to the
people, his chance of being the Re
publican nominee would have been
zero in an hour; no better than Stas-
sens, who lives west of Chicago and
therefore ineligible.

not grimly related facts of biology. 1t is not
charts, diagrams and coldly marshaled facts about
sperms and ova and fertilization Even gardening
would be drab indeed if we spoke only of pistis,
stamens and anthers, forgetting about the miracle
which makes flower grow and the beauty of its
bloom.
New sex education treats, rather of the total
relationship of man and woman - spiritual, dy
namic creative. 1t deals with love and maturity.
1t is idealistic yes. But it enters realistically,
too, into the arena of social living where the
breakup of families is one of the most dire
problems of today. 1t does not by any means
seek to minimize the family or the church in train
ing young people for life. But, in time when
church and family influence has broken down in
many quarters educators feel that schools must be
prepared to carry an increasing share of the load
Part Of Every Course
ONE day, many educators hope sex education
will be diffused throughout our school curriculum

education for honesty. it will not be course set
apart; it will be part Of esery course.

us few hints on how this can be done When

making the fine, united. afectionate families
portrayed in these books!'
The study of history is full of chances to
stress family life, home building, attitudes
between the sexes. Home economics while
dwelling on cookery and needlework can lay en-
phass upon the wholesome family life without
which even the most expert souffle is meaningless.
Even mathematics, suggests the A.S.H.A.,
can base its arithmetic problems on household
budgeting to show that AL the family share the
responsibility for the business of living in family

Well-Rounded Program
WITH this basic orientation, the facts of human
reproduction find their place in biology class,
along with plant and animal reproduction. Bodily
care fits naturally into hygiene class, along with
toothbrushing. Venereal disease is logical part
of the science class in which tuberculosis chicken
pox and other communicable diseases are dis
cussed
In such a roundabout program there is no
need at all for special. earmarked course in sex
education. Twenty-Five years ago we SHE'D away
from sex education altogether. In the last decade

something apart and special. In the next decade.

was very complete with true figures
and statements quoted Senator
Murray stated he had been in Wash

Gently, and would do all he could
to help our community. This was
Left Erickson's second visit to the

very sincere. The Association and
all the community hopes, with the
help of these two men, Eureka will
not sing the swan song as has been
predicted.
