There are many, many. many
businesses that could we'll afford
to give $100 to the Chest. Even
that is only 81 per agency" he

two prison escapes, lost his trusty
privileges.
Warden Marvin Virgins of
Marchman Prison said that here
after Moody would not be allowed
to tinker with radio.
Moody's clandestine operation
of the transmitters came to light
after two amateur radio opera
tors, one In Arkansas and the
other in Tennessee. reported the
unlicensed broadcasts.
The Federal Communications

them to plead with the Governor

kishap al Glenn Dale
Points Up Shortage in
Staff, Rutland Says

The hope that the unfortunate
incident" which occurred at Glenn
Dale Sanatorirm last Tuesday may
convince Congress of the necessity
for a larger staff at the hospital
was expressed last night by DR..
George c. Rutland, District Health
Officer.
DR.. Rutland said the short staff
of physicians and nurses at Glenn
Dale was a factor in the accident
in which two ribs were removed
from the wrong side of tubercular
woman's chest.
The operation was performed by
DR.. Frank Ashburn, visiting con-
sultant, to collapse the woman's d.
seased left lung. Although an x
ray Of the patients chest was in the
opera ting room at the time, DR..
Ashburn was misled by an error
in the operative schedule made out
by DR.. James S. Conant, chief of
surgery at Glenn Dale, and re-
moved the ribs on the right side.

A report on the operation made
by DR.. Edgar w. Davis, professor
of thoracic surgery at Georgetown

sized that the error was not the
result of faulty operating-room pro-
cedure at Glenn Dale, DR.. Rutland
said.
According to his report, the floor
plan, operating conditions and ad-
ministration of surgery at the sana-
forum are excellent. the Health
Officer said.
However" he added, "Glenn Dale
suffers from understanding both Of
physicians and nurses, and this
throws an additional load on the
staff there. We must hope that
this unfortunate incident will con-
vince the men who hold the purse
strings in Congress that We need
additional help there
DR. Rutland said he was expect
ing a more detailed report on the
operation and the patient from DR..

What has your committee found

Plenty. They have espionage rings

Communist spy rings seeking
atomic bomb secrets have been
operating in the United States at
least since 1912, the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activi-
ties charged yesterday.
In a booklet entitled 100 Things
You Should Know About Commu-
nism and Government" fifth and
last in a series of question and an
swer pamphlets, the committee de-
clared that only the Russians and
their spies" know how much infor-
NATION on the bomb got abroad.
Communist espionage in the
United States Government began
Systematically in the early 1930s,
the report stated. Operatives planted
In high Government posts, gathered
a. corps Of skilled agents" and for
the last Is years have been hiding
their key men in our Army, Navy,
diplomatic corps. Treasury, and
other control points" the report
said.
Such spies still are in the Govern
ment. but nobody knows whether
there are three or 3,000." the COM
mittee reported. The pamphlet con-
cluded with a request that the new
Congress enact legislation along
lines of the Mundt-Nixon bill for
stricter control of Communist groups
and activities.
Some of the questions and answers
follow:
Are Communists spies?
Anytime they are ordered to be
by their Party.
Would Communists support our
Government in war with Russia?
The sworn testimony of their
present leader in this is no"
Do American Communists ever
uphold our Government?
When it suits Moscow's purposes.
Are there any Communists in our
Government now?
We hate to say it, but nobody
knows whether there are or 5000,
even though s17,000000 have been
spent by the President in the last
two years to find out.
Why do Communists want to up
set things as they are?
Communists believe in commu-
nisn. Nothing else They mean to
enslave the world under Commu-
mist command. Look at the roll
call of conquered nations across Eu-
rope and Asia. See how Communist
rule has grown in 81 years. until
now it commands more people than
any other system of government on
earth, more than any ever has be-
fore in the history of the world.
What's the secret of its success?
The carelessness and Indifference
of other people Communism is a
terrible international organiza ton Of
spies, wreckers of civilization, and
destroyers of nations. They over
turn governments and destroy ma
tons through their own power. They
do it through the theft of others
power.
How do they get ut this power?
BY filtering into key spots Of con-
troll while the majority in any
country still thinks Communism is
"just a crackpot idea" and Com
munists are just another political
pressure group 4
Where are these keys to power?
In tie government in nEnoolS.
the churches, and labor unions.
Are Communists In this country
part of this world movement?
Not movement" The right word
is conspiracy" All Communists,
everywhere. are a part ofstts 5
Surprising they win here, what
happens?
The Constitution will 90. The
free American Republic will be dead.
How would the Government be
run?

President, Congress. Supreme Court,
and everything else, all rolled into
