Full Cooperation With City's
Recreation Commission Urged

The scheduled arrival in Roanoke Rapids today OF
member of the State Recreation Commission sta11
gives us reason to pause.
The man was to be here to make survey OF
the recreation needs Of the city No doubt Chief T. j.
Davis chairman of the Recreation Commission, and
the commission will make public within the very
near future the results of the survey
We have great faith in our neWly-organlzed rec
reation commission and know full we'll that they Will
do the lob which has been assigned to them. 1t is
thankess task which these people have undertaken,
hut one which will greatly benefit our community
the establishment of full time recreation program
in Roanoke Rapids with the facilities to carry out
such program.
Yes, we have great faith in the commsslon but
we wonder what the people of the city will do about
helping the commission meet its goal?
We believe that most people in Roanoke Rapids
are in favor of full time recreation program. We
wonder if when the time comes they'll be willing to
help financially in the undertaking?
A full time recreation program Will cost money
One of the problems confronting the commission
now is where to get the money and how to get the
money? The commission is known to be considering
several plans. All of them have merit. We feel that
the plan which the commission finally decides upon
should have the full and complete backing of every
individual in Roanoke Rapids
Every individual in Roanoke Rapids will bene-
fit in some small measure from the full time recrea-
ton program.
In the youth Of our city, rests the future growth
of our city our state and nation.
In this day and age they need recreation pro-
gram that will enable them to find something
worthwhile, entertaining, yes even instructive rec
reation, during their leisure hours.
The commission is thinking about the problems
of the recreation program for youth and it is
well that we should all begin thinking about the same
problem and be ready to back the commissions plan
when it is announced.

Free Countries Must Continue Search
For World Peace. Security at All Cost

"We live in dangerous tines" declares Dean
Acheson under-secretary of state, because of the
decisions of another power beyond the control of
any or all of us"
Despite the crises and problems that remain,
Mr. Acheson believes that the past three years have
witnessed turn of the tide against Russia. He notes
that the Soviet power does not today extend any,
where beyond the lines it held by its military forces
at the end of the war; and that the mont Communist
nations of Europe have made great strides in eco
nomc recovery and strength
The State Department official does not believe
that the Russians have given up their effort to
tend their power or that the difficulties, dangers and
crises have ended. He believes, nevertheless, that
Communist intrigue and propaganda have failed to
make progress despite the economic plight of West
ern Europe and that in the long run, the people of
the world will thoroughly understand the ruthless
Soviet policy of domination
Facing this situation, the diplomat does not be-
heve that exhortation argument concessions will
nave any effect upon Russia. While the road to
gotlation must be kept open the free countries must
continue their search for security at all COST

course, whether the bosses of
Russia had been the Czar and
his court or Lenin and Trotsky,
who came on to slaughter or

A belief that American justice
should be manipulated for the
ulterior purpose of building
unity" with the government of
another country should disquali-
fly any man from any office re-
quiring the oath. That a Presi-
dent or a justice of the Supreme
Court should express such a be-
lief is the more terrible. Yet
Frankfurter wrote to Theodore
Roosevelt, the ex-President, that
certain American criminal Eases
were incidents which were
made the basis of prejudicial
propaganda against US in Rus
sia," and affected unity of our
Russian ally and the relation Of
Russia to this country"
Suppose it did. What of it?
Are you going to hang Frank
furter-or Pegler-or refrain
from doing so to goose grease
some dictator in another coun-
try?
The time was 10 come when
Roosevelt turned Browder out C.,
Atlanta Penitentiary to promote
unity" between the United
States and Russia, the country
which he was serving when he
committed his crime against our
laws. Then, to make it worse,
he had his State Department is-
sue orders to the consulate in
Montreal to violate the immgra-
ton law by admitting Mrs.

though she was absolutely ineli-
gible on two counts: she was a
Communist and she had pre-
viously entered the United
States illegally.
Robert Stripping, the chief in
vestigator of the Committee on
Un-American Activities, has said
that the committee got testimony
that Eleanor Roosevelt butted
into this case as she did in the
case Of another Communist,
Hams Eisler.
Roosevelt was so immoral, 90
cynical and devoted to expedi-
ency as the law Of conduct that
he may not even have known
that it was wrong to temper jus.
tice for that reason.

The opinion expressed by John

for agreements but actually stri

Though confused by propagan
da emanating from many sources
Soviet policy is clear, The Sow
lets are engaged in a five to
ten years program of expansion
to be achieved initially without
war, while taking account of war
as a calculated risk. This pro
gram is based upon a concept
of world strategy identical with
Hitler's, which Hitler owed to
his geopolitical adviser. Karl
Haushofer who, in turn owed it
to the great British geographer,
Sir Halford Mackinder.

New York, Oct. 12-As we
study the roster of Felix Frank
furter's invisible government and
divine the character Of that net
work within the Roosevelt gov
ernment, we have to draw our
own conclusions as to the pur-
poses of the head man. I have
established the relationship be-
tween Frankfurter and his dear
personal and theological friend,
Harold Laski, whom the New
York Times some years ago
without compunction referred to
as an apologist for Communism.
l can't go so far as to say,
however, that Frankfurter him
self ever has been Communist
or a sympathizer with Commu-
nism.
think it makes little diff
ference that man is not a
Communist if he be often in
the company of Communists
and deferential to public opin-
ion in Russia as controlled by
the Communist dictators. Our
courts, including the Supreme
Court of which Frankfurter is
a member, do make distinc-
tion. They made it in the case
of Harry Bridges, who was
Communist to all the Federal
courts and other authorities, ex-
cept one petty bureau in the
Department of Justice, until
the Supreme Court got a chance
to say that he was no such
thing.
That was the sorriest days
work that it ever did. It meant
that not even the Government
henceforth could prove that
anyone was a Communist unless
that person owned up to it or
his comrades came forth from
the oath-bound membership to
swear against him. Even such
testimony as that might still be
discredited and your Communist
let 60, but that was just about
the minimum required of the
prosecution.
Well, so Felix can't be called
one of them any more than
Roosevelt could have been, but
want to show you that Felix
was holding a wet finger up to
the wind from Petrograd about
rs years before Roosevelt bowed
to Moscow in the cases of Earl
Browder and his wife. I won't
bother to repeat material show
ing Frankfurter's willingness to
distort the administration Of JUS

both world wars), Hitler's blurt
that if he had the Ukraine plus
Central and Eastern Europe
he could command the world
this German world strategy is
now Russia's.
In 1919 Mackinder predicted
that the First World War would
be resumed unless the peace
makers settled the German-Slav
issue on the only grounds that
Germany nor Russia must be all
owed to consolidate the Heart
land; and between them must
be erected a powerful fedora
ton of states, their independence
supported by the West. This
lesson went unheeded.
The Western Allies who Sc
cured the freedom of the East
European states from Austrian
German domination did not de
mand of them, in return, that
they federate and create a com
mon defense; and parochial jeal
ousies enabled a revived Ger
manyto destroy them one by
one. The successful propaganda
of the Germans during the Stress
mann regime over the "inquity"
of the Polish corridor" pre-
vented a final settlement of the
Eastern question and presaged
Hitler's resumption of the war.
Meanwhile the tendency of all
democracies to make idealistic
rather than realistic decisions
permitted the Russians to move
into precisely the power position
Hitler had been forced to evacu
ate.
The consolation of that position
as the preface to the next war
for world domination demands
Berlin and Vienna. The struggle
of the Russians for these has
nothing to do with illegal" rights
nor in essence, has our struggle
to prevent this We are on the
last frontiers of safety; and time
is not on our side.
The Russians will not make
war until they have rearmed in
the air, built a more powerful
submarine fleet. and created the
atomic bomb with adequate
stockpiles or disarmed the
United States of this weapon by
political tactics. But without
war they already have moved
into the positions which Hitler
had to fight to take. Except
temporarily in Iran they hav
not suffered a single setback.
They are successfully bringing
Asia and the Near East into tur
noil. And unlike Hitler they
run no serious risk (the night

EXPERIENCED: Mr.. Dewey
has made only two statements
on the kind of men he wants
in his cabinet. When he was
asked if he knew two Repub-
licans with the courage to stand
up to Stain" he replied crisply:
"Yes. John Foster Dulles and
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg Of
Michigan!"
Banning any unexpected
change of plans. it is probable
that either man will be asked
to run the State Department.
Mr.. Vandenberg's friends sug-
gest that he might not care to
quit his senatorial assignment
but others think he might take
pleasure in winding up his dis
tinguished career in the first
place in the Cabinet. More
over, Mr.. Dewey must feel CRATE
full for the Senator's refual to
enter a stop-Dewey coalition at
Philadelphia.
In view of the Governors par
tiality toward experienced men
around him, there is talk that
he might retain Secretary George
c. Marshall for the duration OF
the Russian crisis. Likewise, Ma
tional Defense Secretary James
V. Forrestal might be kept on
at least during the early stages
Of the rearmament program.

Worst Enemies
Praise Dewey's
Merit System
TUCKER
BY Ray Tycker

ALBANY, Oct. 12-Governor
Thomas E. Dewey will not ran
sack Uncle Sans attics and cell
lars on a hunt for juicy jobs
for Republican hacks when and
if he enters the White House next
January.
The "next President" cannot
house indiscrimately for the rea-
son that approximately 80 per
cent of federal employees are
now protected by Civil Service,
which was broadened during the
Roosevelt years to provide his
appointees with a stronger tenurs
of office.
But even the fact that the Of
ficial rolls are cluttered with De-
mocrats will not influence the
man at Albany. Even his worst
enemies praise his record as an
advocate and operator of the me-
rit system in government.
But he does promise to get
rid of what he calls the fuzzy
wuzzy" fringe which, while not
holding the top posts, ocupices
key places which enable it to
influence high policy.
In dedicating himself to its i'm
mediate custer, he does not re-
fer merely to suspected "Com-
mics" He has in mind the sort
of government tinkers brought in
by the Wallaces, Ickeses, Frank
furters, Tugwells etc-the men
who landed at the capital fifteen
years ago with a consuming zeal
to roll up their sleeves and re-
make the world on the basis of
hazy or non-existent blueprints.
MECHANCIES: In comparing
Mr.. Dewey with his more recent
predecessors at Albany, he re-
sembles Alfred E. Smith rather
than Franklin D. Roosevelt in
his approach to executive pro-
cesses. Like the man in the
brown derby, the Republican pre-
sidential nominee enjoys t h
routine mechanics of govern
ment.
Unlike F. D. r., who revelled
in untidiness and controversy,
Mr.. Dewey dotes on order, pre-
cision and quite effectiveness.
He gets things done with a min
imum of effort and excitement
a characteristic which inclines
his enemies to describe him as
"dictatorial."
AS evidence of his concentra-
ton on his tasks, there is the
fact that he has almost no time
for extracurricular reading. He
prefers to bury himseld in de-
partmental reports, Cabinet com
muniques, legislative bills, bud
get statements, etc. Then, if he
has any leisure moments, he
holds up with a "Whodunit?" de-
tective mystery. Oddly, he deve
loped liking fcr them when he
was busting real-life rackets as
