Communist Qualities
Answer on Aim 10
Destroy Capitalism
By the Associated Press


was the question:
Does the Communist party teach
that it's proposed workers die
tatorship could arise only through
the smashing of the capitalist
government, army and police
force?
The answer: yes"
The reply came yesterday from
Robert G. Thompson, New York
state Communist chairman and
one of II top American Reds on
trial for conspiracy to advocate
Iforcible overthrow of the govern
Iment.
Analysis of Meaning.
Thompson, however, prefaced
his response with this analysis of
what it meant:
"All of history shows that the
ruling class is very unapt to give
up it's control of industry, capital
and political power in this country
and is very apt to meet every
move toward social progress on
the part of workers and the mass
of the people with violence, and
no peoples front or working
CLASSIFIED government would just
take over ready-made the various
phases of the state apparatus that
are corroded with Fascist minded
and in many instances, lynch
minded elements"
Then he added softly: yes
as we interpret it in that way"
Federal Judge Harold r. Me-
dina, apparently missing the final
words, ordered the question read
again. and demanded yes-or-no|
answer.
Record Shows Yes
Thompson protested that to an
swer without his explanatory pref
ace would place him in a strait
Jacket. f. tr-7"2
Judge Medina then directed the
prosecution to go on with another
question.
A check later showed Thomp-
sons Eyes" answer had been heard
by the court stenographer, and
was recorded in the testimony.
Assistant United States Attorney
Frank H. Gordon asked Thompson
if the establishment of working
class dictatorship would involve
"elimination and cleansing OF your
opponents?"
well" said Thompson, Il would
say that there were a few Tom
Clarks and Rankins and so forth
that could stand elimination from
American public life, and I'M
doubtedly the working class would
| do a good job of that"
Thompson said his party was
trying to build a broad anti
fascist coalition" to establish it
self as "the elected government"
He said ruling-class attacks on
Henry Wallace and the Third
Party movement typifled 1.-The big
business opposition" the coalition
could expect.
If, despite such opposition. the
peoples coalition" were elected,
Thompson said, it would have to
enforce cleansing measures" to
check the power of big business
and bring about naturalization
of industry and a "basic reorgan-
ization of society"
Senators Not Too Important"
Judge Medina asked the witness:
Would they let the senators
and representatives in the opposi-
ton argue against them in Con-
gress?"
"Well," said Thompson. "our
Communists never considered that
senators are necessarily the most
important figures in ef1ecting
social development"
"They could be waved aside?"
asked Medina.
1.-THE important thing" said
Thompson, "is that such govern
ment could never come into power
and could never remain in power
without the most energetic support
of the overwhelming majority OF

Mr.. Crawley says he has found

he has terraced all the cropland.
He began this fall to seed the area

seeded, and he has made plans to
plant kudzu for supplementing
pasture next spring.
In the woodland area, Mr.. Craw-

BIRTHS

The Office of Vital Statistics es-
Inmates that during the first nine
months of 1949, 2,669,0oo births
were registered. The stimate was
made on the basis of figures now
available. This gives an estimated
birth rate for the first nine months
of 24.1 per 1000 population, which
would mean, in round numbers, one
baby for every twenty couples if
every 1000 population were made
up of 500 couples. The birth rate
this year is almost the same as for
the corresponding period of 194S,
which was 24.2, the second highest
