Peru, he named Brazil and Guatemala as

by these combined Vaccinations.
Senior de la Tore gave it as his opinion
that the Communist short-range objective
is mot seizing power but creating con-
fusion" This, of course, is standard Com
munist practice in the early stages of its
destructive program. The outstanding in
stance is in Germany during the early
1930s, when the German Communists made
common cause with the Nazis and greatly
facilitated Hitler's accession to power. The
speculation was that Naziism would ulti-
mately destroy or at least disrupt German
national life, after which the Communists
would reap the fruits. Apparently the
same tactics are under way in Latin
America. The implications are only too

The Rights of Federal Employees

I get hot under the collar every time read
where some group expresses fear that the
rights of those persons who have been accused
of disloyalty will not be protected. Just why
are their rights any more precious than those
OF the average Government employe? Must
these people have super-rights because they
have big jobs or influential friends?
The statements from the Civil Service Com
mission that these accused persons rights must
be protected are hypocritical when you con-
slider that the commission knows that Govern
ment employees as class have no rights.
right is something that you can demand
legally. The only people under civil service
who have any rights are veterans They are
the only people under the law who can de-
mand a hearing in case Of misconduct.

Imperialism in Greece

imperialism in Greece
To the Editor of The Star:
The first week of May, 1948, will be recorded
in the history of Greece as one of the blackest
weeks in the annals of Greek mankind One
hundred fifty-two persons, men and women,
were shot in one day-May 3-plus hundreds
Of others, since the date the Americans went
to Greece "SamaritanS"
The crime for which these people were shot
was that they took part in an uprising in
December 1914, fighting for their freedom
But was it crime to revolt and fight for
freedom? Our own American nation was
founded as result Of such an uprising.
The Greek people took part in World War
II from the very beginning. For six months
they successfully fought the invading hordes
of Mussolini. Then the Nazis had to step in
to assist their Italian Fascist allies. Because
of poor leadership, the Greek people were sur
rendered to the Nazs, while the King Of
Greece and members of his government, plus
most of the Greek aristocracy fed to Egypt.
But the Greek people, the heart and soul of
Greece, those who fought the Italians and
Germans, remained in Greece, and they con-
tinued their fight for freedom, following the
instructions of the international leaders,
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stain.
Organizing their own armies the Greek peo-
pie took to the mountains, and for four years
successfully fought the enemy, for which they
were highly praised by the English General
Staff. When the Germans retreated to the
hills in 1914 with the guerrillas Of Greece pur-
suing them, the English Army demanded the
right to land in Greece as tourists" and the
Greek people were kind enough to grant them
permission to land.
However, once in Greece, the English Army
followed its traditional policy of imperialism
and attempted to rule the country as colonial
possession.
The Greek people, after fighting the Nazis
and Fascists for four years for their freedom,
refused to allow that freedom to be denied by
their so-called allies the English, and they
rose up in December, 1914. demanding the
evacuation of the British army Men, women
and children, thousands of them started to
march, unarmed to their own capital, Athens
They were ordered to stop and when they re-
fused they were fired upon. Men, women and
children were killed. Since then none OF the
English who fired upon the innocent and un-
armed Greeks has been punished in any way
But 400 Greeks were convicted and sentenced
to die because they took part in an uprising
for their freedom.
These l. 400 Greeks were held In jaiis all over
Greece. Now after four years they are being
taken out in groups and executed at the Whim
Of the present Greek government.
These executions and reprisals will not stop
the fight of the Greek people for freedom and
democracy. They will continue to fight for
their freedom from imperialism and the right
to develop their own democracy. All they ask
is that foreign Intervention be stopped 30
they can forge their own destiny.

According to John Dodge, Ex-
tension Garden Leader at WASH
ington State College, two different
methods of planting sweet corn
are popular in this state. One
method is to put the seeds in hills
with two or three kernels to the
hill. Not more than three plants
should be allowed to mature In a
hill. The hills should be spaced
about two to three feet apart In
the rows which are about three
feet apart. @ ~.
The other method is to plant one
kernel in a place with IA to 10
inches between kernels and with
rows about three feet apart. Corn
should never be planted more than
11k, inches deep. If planted too
deep the seed rots.

Benton county horne gardeners
can depend upon having fresh
roasting ears over period of six
weeks or longer this summer by
planting the right combination OF
varieties and using recommended
planting methods, according to
Frank Webster, County Agent.
You'll want to plant some late
varieties, which are considered
best for freezing and canning pur-
poses, as well as early varieties to
provide you with early roasting
ears. Included in the late varie-
ties recommended for Benton
county conditions are Golden Ban
tam, Golden Cross Bantam and
Carmelcross hybrid-which are
usually considered excellent for
preservation purposes. For early
roasting ears, Webster recommends
Seneca or Spancross and Carmel
cross.

Guard Officer Group
Visits Congress 10
Ask More Armories

| Members of the Adjutants Gen.
eral Association of the United
States were to visit members of
Congress today to seek support for
Legislation to provide additional
armories, universal military train
ing, a uniform reserve commission
ing system and liberalized retire
ment policy for Guard personnel.
Thereafter, they were to resume
stheir annual meeting in the May
flower Hotel and hear addresses by
lit. Gen. w. S. Paul, Army director
of personnel and administration
and officers of the National Guard
Bureau.
Reckord Lists 2 "Musts."
More armories and a universal
training program were termed
"musts" yesterday by Maj. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord, chairman of
the associations Committee on Leg
islation. He declared Guard COM
manders in the States could not
meet the recruitment quotas as
signed them without these aids.
Need for legislation on these
points also was stressed yesterday
by Maj. Gen. Kenneth F. Cramer,
chief of the National Guard Bureau.
Universal military training is of par
ticular importance to the Guard, not
only from the standpoint of recruit
ing but also because of the large
numbers of trained men it would
make available for Guard units, he
said.
The strength of the National
Guard, as of January IS, was 3d.
1877 men, Gen. Cramer reported. AS
of last Friday, he added, 3,701 Army
units and $50 Air Force units had
been granted Federal recognition.
Near Budget Limit.
81 would like to emphasize that
the rapid organization of new units
has brought us very near the limit
of our budget for the current fiscal
year." he said. THE major implica-
ton of this situation is that the
bureau may be forced to refuse re-
newal of authority to organize those
units which allow their authorize
tons to lapse"
Insufficient armory facilities, a
lack of qualified officers in the low
grades and the danger of relaxa-
ton of recruitment efforts are prob
hms facing the Guard now, he de-
clared.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, d.
rector of the Office of Selective Serv-
ice Records, said his Office is at
tempting to cooperate closely with
the National Guard in organizing
its records.
