is the Kremlin's headquarters in the
New World.
A Stalinist fifth column is infll-
trating nation after nation OF the
Western Hemisphere, with the
United States as the ultimate goal.
While immigration movements are
rieidly enforced at our Canadian
borders, our Southern frontier is
being used as convenient gateway
for trained Soviet agents, many OF
them Slavs.
There is no special knack or mys-
terry about the methods used to gain
entry into the United States from
Central America. Surrendering his
tourist card at a Central American
port of debarkation, the agent, on
reaching the United States simply
shows customs declaration in
which he has stated he is a United
States citizen and tells our immigra-
ton officials where he was born in
our country.

This is the key. simple as is may
sound, to vast underground rail-
road into the United States.
For weeks was part of that same
underground controlled and manipu-
lated by Communists and Soviet
sympathizers.
Communist Party headquarters in
Havana are located at Carlos Ter

In these rooms more than $4,000
Stalinlsts have been taught the
trade secrets of the professional sab
oteur. For the select group, the cur
riculum includes grounding in Amer

pare the saboteur for illegal entry

to Cuban and United States officials

Domestic-Front Picture

On the domestic front, however
the picture of unfinished business is
very different. What the new Con-
gress will do will depend in large
part on who will be inaugurated as
President next January 20.
This is the list of major legisla-
ton, either requested by President
Truman and or which made its way
at least partly, through the legis-
lative mill:
Initiation control measures.
Long-range housing program.
Civil rights measures.
Federal aid to education.
Social security expansion.
Oleomargarine tax repeal.
Minimum wage increase.
Health insurance.
Universal military training.
Tidelands oil bill to turn the prop
erty back to the States.
Creation of a national science
foundation.
The Mundt Nixon anti-Commu.
mist bill.
Equal rights constitutional amend
ment
Abolition of the electoral college
constitutional amendment.
Statehood for Hawaii and Alaska
District home rule.
Rent Control Expires
In addition there are other meas.
ures passed by the Eightieth Con-
gress which will expire early in ths
life of the Eighty first. One of these
is rent control, an increasingly hot
issue. Another is extension OF the
Presidents authority to negotiate
reciprocal trade agreements. Both
were extended in 1888 for only one
year.
Since the chances of Republican
victory in November appear sc
bright. it may be worth look al
what the party platform, adopted
last week at the Philadelphia con-
vention. has to say about some o1
these domestic problems.
Probably to most Americans the
problem of the current high cost
of living and how to meet 1t il
paramount. President Truman re-
peatedly called for at Jon, asking
Evening star., 1948-06-27

but, as OF To-Day, most OF the ne'
predecessor never did at all, or did
badly. or incompletely.
The major unpredictable factor,
of course, is the effect new Presi-
dent would have on the legislative
situation. Gov. Dewey may come to
Capitol Hill with a complete legis-
lative program Of his own for both
domestic and foreign affairs. He has
had plenty of experience in dealing
with legislatures as Governor Of our
most populous State.
May Be Recalled
There is still the possibility that
the Eightieth Congress will be called
back to Washington before its lega
life expires with the end of 194S
1t can be recalled by the Republican
leaders-this was provided for ir
the adjournment resolution-or by
President Truman, under his con-
stitutional authority. If it is recalled
all the bills which today appear
dead" legislatively speaking, will
be very much alive and once more
fighting for final passage as they
did in the last hectic hours.
But if there is no session Of Con-
gress until January 8, every bill
which did not make the grade
in the Eightieth Congress will have
to start in afresh and fight its way
all over again.
Most of the unfinished business
of the Eightieth concerned domestic
problems. In the field of foreign
affairs the guiding hand of Sena'
tor Vandenberg, Michigan Republi-
can who heads the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, was so sure
that it, steered to final passage al
the important bills sought either b,

cock will try to earn his way back
into the heavyweight fight picture

over Americas Lee Oma in an eight
round comeback"
At q Woodcock is young enough
to have a future if he can atone for
his past. Seventeen months ago he
was slaughtered for seven rounds by
Joe Baksi. another Yank, and came
out with a broken jaw.
To test whether Bruce's bones are
well mended. Promoter Jack Solo
mons imported Oma, a 32-year-old
Detroiter, who is not in the front
rank Of heavyweights any more.
Oma has a big psychological ad-
vantage over the British champion.
Americans have been a bit of jinx
to Bruce. Besides Baksi, he was
knocked out by Tami Mauriello.
Woodcock does, however, hold a
knockout victory over ex-Light-
heavy Champ Gus Lesnevich, scored
two years ago this month.
The fans are curious, but not con-
fident about Woodcock. Betting,
what little there is, Is at even money.

the bout will be broadcast to the
