Wants All Communists
Ferretted OF the Public Payroll

To the Editor Of The star.
"A man only understands that Of which he
has already the beginning in himself" Con-
ditions proclaim the fact that loyal Ameri-
cans are conscious of the menace OF COM
munism and believe that a serious situation
exists. Denial or lack OF information to the
people is a strategy Of Communist heads.
The worlds present agitation Is a con-
fiict between communism and the theology
adhered to by America. A former Polish
general has given testimony that Moscow
directed agents expect to break up the
United States" into a series OF small sep
arate nations Of racial entities.
The opinion was expressed. too, that ut is
fairly easy job to undermine United States
production" There is no doubt. however.
that the United States Is the foremost coun-
try In the universe and its overthrow prob
ably Is planned.
It was Lenin who said, I'VE live not only
in q state but a system OF states. and the
prolonged existence Of the Soviet Republic
side by side with imperialistic states Is un-
thinkable. Finally either the one or the other
will be victorious and until this happens
series of terrible complications between the
Soviet Republic and the bourgeois states Ia
unavoidable" Very recently Senate COM
mittee applied unprecedented pressure on
the executive branch of the Government 70
pry loose files on subversive activities oil
foreign agents And Senator McCarran was
moved to assert, II I am unsuccessful In
compelling the production Of these files /
shall publicly reveal information In the
files OF the subcommittee which has thus
far been confidential" The time has come
to end the pampering Of Communists and
to ferret out every Red and Pink on the
Federal payrolls.
With determination and skill we must
meet the challenge of communism, and let
the answer be q democratic America In
which all people shall enjoy the prosperity
produced by our free economy ana the nanit
Of thrift and make America more truly than
ever before the happy land Of opportunity"

Mrs. Trammell added that

with; the breeze.
Another thing the Trammells
like about their mooring is that
in mid-harbor there is usually a
good breeze even when there is
none ashore. making the house
boat cooler than cottage would
be.
And at night the lights in the
harbor are so pretty. and the
stars are magnificent" Mrs.
Trammell said.
Cabin Area Partitioned.
The cabin area is partitioned
off into a main cabin. forward
cabin, and bath room. Two large

as sleeping quarters at night. and
as sofas in the daytime. The

is solved. They have just had a
houseboat built at Galesville, Md,
about 80 miles from Washington,
and think it is a better solution
for their particular week end pur-
poses than either a cottage or
q conventional boat.
I'VE figured it was cheaper
than a cottage and yet, for us,
it has a lot more advantages,
Mr.. Trammell said.
What I can't understand is
why we didn't think of this idea
sooner" said Mrs. Trammell.
Enthusiast 20 Years.
For 20 years Mr.. Trammell has
been a sailing enthusiast. For
q time he was commodore of the
Potomac River Sailing ,Associa-
ton, an organization of Washing
ton sportsmen sailors.
In that period he has had 13
boats, (not including the present

an 11-foot Moth to 33-foot

which are sailing craft. For a
time, the family also had a cot
tage at Cobb Island.
1T took us a long time to find
tout, but a houseboat is just what
we wanted all the time," Mr..
Trammell said.
Cost Put at $500.
Dimensions of the houseboat,
which has been named Sea Chan
tey, are 80 by IA feet. with living
area measuring a compact 20 by
10 feet. Designed and constructed
by Ernest H. Dick) Hartge of
Galesville, the houseboat cost
$500. 1t was constructed within
six weeks. has a bathroom and
shower, sleeps four persons, and
provides more cabin space than

The House this week turned
down direct Government loans. but
the Senate has yet to act on its
bill, which retains provisions au-
thorizing such direct loans. The
Senate bill has been reported ia

as to when the measure will be
taken up in the Senate.
Basic Provisions.
Basically the direct loan provi-
sions are these:
/. In case a veteran is unable
to obtain a 4 per cent loan, a pro-
vision would permit direct bor-
rowing from the Veterans Admin
istration. A total Of $500. 600, 900

built-in furniture and equipment.
The Trammels keep the boat at a
a mooring in the middle of Gales
vile Harbor. about two miles from
the Chesapeake Bay, on West
River. Rent Of the mooring
amounts to $50 a year, including
the cost of towing the boat out in
the spring and towing 1t back to
the harbor bank in the late fall.
Anticipate Other Costs.
The Trammells anticipate that
other costs will be small: Painting
once a year, extra towing costs
periodically. plus any repairs that
may be needed.
THE houseboat is strongly built,
and we thought we could have it
towed to, say, oxford, Md, for a
month, if we want to stay there,
or almost anywhere along. the bay;
Mr.. Trammell said.
The heuseboat is fitted with a
bracket so that an outboard motor
could be attached to the stern
to make 1T self-propelled. The
family hasn't bought an outboard
motor yet, but may do so later.
At the moment, when the Tram
mells want to leave the houseboat
for shore, they row back in an
8-foot tender. For the present,
Mr.. Trammell is doing all his sail
ing in a 9-foot sailing dinghy,
which they keep lashed to the
cabin roof when it is not in use.
Later Mr.. Trammell expects to buy
a somewhat larger sailboat.
No Parking Problem.
On a week end, the Trammells
are entirely surrounded by water.

make things kind of lonesome. :"

FOOTBALL PLAYERS LOSE
BULLFIGHT

LEOPOLDVILLE - (AP) =
Natives were recently playing
football match on the outskirts
of the city when a wild bull
emerged from a nearby wood and
charged the red-shirted players.
In the ensuing panic players,
spectators and officials hurriedly
scrambled up trees or anything
which would take them out of
the reach of the flashing horns.
The bull, finding himself the sole
master of the field, disdainfully
kicked the only thing left in
sight - the ball = and withdrew
into the weeds.
