Syrian reports said 500 Jews had been killed in fighting in the Jacobs bridge area below lake Hula on the eastern frontier.
 Tel Aviv was bombed again by two unidentified Spitfire planes. However, a Jewish communique said there were no casualties.

Let's Have More Free Enterprise for Everybody {.

Those who own the Coop have one vote
apiece No matter how rich or how much busi-
ness. That is Democracy
People banded together to run their own
business makes your Coop a free enterprise.
Only in free country governed by free men can
cooperative exist.
Only in such country can real free enter
prise survive.
Co-operatives have become the life blood of
thousands of small towns in America They
make it possible for the owners to run their own
business.
Every successful Coop is a reward for thrift
and hard work. Every successful Coop offers
the owners chance to save and invest and build
That is free enterprise.
The people's voice., 1948-05-21

The greatest champion free enterprise has
in America is the Coop owner.
If there is one thing above all others that
represents free enterprise to him, it is his Coop
erative
1t may be his local Coop creamery, or i've
stock shipping association or Coop store or oil
station, or grain elevator. Whatever it is, he
knows what it took to build it. 1t took courage
and vision and enterprise. That is what still
makes free enterprise.
Is free enterprise syndicate or the mer-
chant or main street?
Is it huge corporation Cooperative?
Free enterprise is something for all the peo-
pie to enjoy. 1t cannot be privilege for the few.

COMMUNISM AND TRUTH

We've heard considerable comment of late-ano have noticed that in most it was wel-based-to the effect that Communism seems to have peculiar and nexplicabe effect the of truth of indi- viduals who in one way or another, become involved with it's political philosophies
 In the field of international diplomacy represen- tatyes of the Soviet repeatedly have broken pledges made to other nations and, in untold number of instances have failed report the full truth in power conferences In fact, there have been times when representatives of democratic nations have accused the Russians in no uncertain terms. of dealing almost completely in falsehoods.
 In various inquiries and investigations in this country involving current or former agents of the Soviet truth a most ephemeral subject-even under oath By legion of dodges, ruses and outright lies witnesses make it almost impossible for officials to dig out the facts they seeking. Even individuals who have foresworn Communism, won't for the most part admit their old alliances won't assist in uncov erng essential factual material
 The same pattern can be traced in the history or fascsm It can fact be found here and there 1n the background of most political ideologies But m most instances the truth distorted-or neglected entirely
 in order to achieve certan specific aims or purposes With the Communists the procedure seems bascaly different Most of the Reds appear to be following carefully programmed almost universal pattern of deceit
 If this trend apparent only n the ohteu States one might call insignificant Most oI the Communists and fellow travellers here who turn uher backs on Moscow are, by the very nature of things unreliable. If they are natives of Russia they are

The Communist Partys platform calls upon all Americans who hate fascism' to help explode the myth that Communists foreign agents or advocate force and violence It then paraphrases the official Moscow line on foreign policy and asserts that reac-
