six detectives set up as league
goals for the year and reported
three as being achieved at mid

policy was then outlined by the
Service Committe, and Miss Haz-

follows: l. Mrs. Florence Allen;
2. Miss Thelma Morant; 8. Mrs.

Projects, Miss Picola Haley, Cha
irman, gave\ an excellent report
on three projects successfully
sponsored by the league and ac-
complished by the provisional
members. The first project was
the sponsoring of a blood bank
at st. Dominic's Hospital which
was made possible through the
splendid cooperation of the fol-
lowing organizations; Y. M. C. A.
training and are now full fledged
and Y. w G A, Calm Station for
blood by those who need it. The
veterans at Campbell College and
the veterans at Jackson Cillege
have given unusual cooperation
in making the bank success.
Other organizations are invited to
send doners to st. Dominic's Hos
pital between the hours of 8 p.
M. and P. M, to insure a con-
tinued well stocked bank of blood
for our people. Organizations are
asked to give reports OF doner's
names to Call-in Station, phone
1882. Any able bodied young
man or woman between the ages
of seventeen and thirty-ffve years
of age will be gladly accepted.
For Christmas Service to needy
persons the Service Committee
and Project Committee combined
their efforts and were able to a.
dept twenty needy families involv-
ing fifty-three persons. Through
these two committees clothing,
food and fuel were donated to
these families. They also cooper
ated with the Council of Social
Agencies in remembering the sick
and aged known to welfare Agen-
cies in our community. Twelve
fruit baskets were sent out thro-
ugh the Council to Negroes.
The Social and Program Com
mittee, Mrs. John Bates, Chair
man, reported two of its annual
meetings being scheduled success
fully at Campbell College and a
meeting with DIR. Kicks. Two 9TH

statement on the indict-
ment of the leaders of the Com
munist party. Although the in
formation about the indictments
is limited, there are certain OBJ
yious conclusions an American
who believes in civil liberties
must reach:
1. We Americans h ave ar
more to fear from these actions
which are intended to suppress
political freedom than from the
teachings of ideas with which we
are in disagreement.
1 understand that the Grand
Jury which returned the indict-
ments has been engaged in its
investigation for more than a
year. 1t is significant to me that
after this prolonged investigation
the indictments make no charge
of the commission of acts of force
and violence. They are limited
to a charge that these men teach
such doctrine. This is not a
new allegation. J. Edgar Hoover
has made it before, yet I recall
that Hoover, quite rightly, OPP
posed the very objective the in
dictments seek to accomplish
the objective of outlawing the
Communist party.
2. 1t is interesting and highly
significant that these Red scares
over the past two or three years
have been timed to silence oppo-
sition to new turns in the bi-party
get-tough foreign policy. Mil
lions of Americans have indi-
Gated their displeasure at the
refusal of the bi-partiSans to
enter real negotiations with the
Russians, looking to peaceful
settlement of existing differences.
The indictments are, I feel, an
attempt to promote new fears.
They are another in series of
diversions created for Americans
who are C claiming about
mounting initiation, the stupid
bungling in Berlin and O t h er
problems. Both the administra-
ton and the bi-partisans in Con-
gress make allegations to make
headlines, m e headlines to
make fear, and make fear to stay
in power.
The important thing for demo-
cratic Americans is to recognize
this practice and defend with all
their energy the rights of others
to speak freely, no matter how

First line Of defense Of

much they may disagree with the
points of view of those they de-
fend.
3. While l favor strong action
against any individual who COM
mits violence, it has been my
observation that violence in the
United States, as indeed in other
countries, has b en- generally
committed by the very people
who would suppress the free
speech of Communists and other
groups with whom they disagree.
When we look at non-Commu-
mist countries with millions of
Communist voters, we are shock
ed that there are politicians in
our rich, powerful democracy
who feel so insecure that they
are led to suppress the political
freedom of relative handful of
American Communists.
4. Defense of the civil rights
of Communists is the first line
in the defense of the liberties of
a democratic people. The history
of Germany, Italy, Japan and
Franco Spain should teach us
that the suppression of the Com
munists is but the first step in
an assault on the democratic
rights of labor, national, racial
and political minorities, and all
those who oppose the policies of
the government in power.
5. am confident that the
courts will eventually find un-
constitutional the Smith Act I'M
der which the indictments are
handed down to the extent that
it makes unlawful the advocacy
of any doctrine by pea eful
means, unaccompanied by clear
and present danger to estab-
ished government. think that
such an application of the Smith
Act clearly violates the First
Amendment and infringes the
American right of free speech.
Meanwhile, the bi-partisans
will play up the indictments and
hearings and trials to promote
fear. The present situation makes
it essential for the administra-
ton to create fear through a con-
tinued series of crises.
We can expect further r e d
scares and attacks on o t h e r
minority groups with charges
that their views are hostile to the
government. I personally, have
great hostility for many present
practices of the administration
and the old parties. 1 fully ex-
pect continued attempts to attack
the New Party with all manner
of false and inflammatory ale
cations. The New Party will con-
tinue to carry on the fight in
d f ms e of the Constitutional
liberties of all the American
people.
