Polish Army Men Told
To Be Marxists

WARSAW, POLAND -(AP)-
Polish army officers have been
told they must be devout believers
in Marxist-Leninist principles. Fur
thermore, they have been ordered
to use all propaganda devices" to
sell that doctrine to all men under
their command.
Col. Leon Grosfeld, writing in
the Polish army newspaper POL
ska Zbrojna," said:
"Our officers must come to real
ige that to work on the broadening
of his mental horizon, to definitely
shape his outlook upon life, that to
study Marxism-Leninism is not
something remote from the army
and having no connection with it.
"He must realize that the better
be has mastered MarMsm-Lenin-
ism, the more rapid will be his
progress along the path of mill
tary excellence, the better will he
perform his professional duties
the better will he serve his coun-
/ try"

The Russian Government is re-

across the whole United States. We
have nothing particularly against
the Russian people but the Govern
ment and it's Stain, Molotov Wish

wonder that the Government of the
United States is constantly prepar-

have the weapons and the skill and
the brains to wipe the whole bunch
of Communist off the map. And
best of all, Russia knows it.

PRESIDENTIAL IDEAS

President Harry Truman Sug-
gests:
Great as our progress has been
we still have long way to go. AS
we look around the country, many
of our shortcomings stand out in
bold relief.
We are suffering from excessive
ly high prices. Our production is
still not large enough to satisfy
our demands. Our minimum wages
are far too low. Small business is
losing ground to growing mOnopo-
ly. Our farmers still face an un-
certain future. And too many Of
them lack the benefits of our mo-
dern civilizatin.
Some of our natural resources
are still being wasted. We are

Official statements in Washing
ton show that there was an i'll
crease in the production Of build
ing materials in 194S. Stone quar-
les and sand and gravel pits yeild-
ed larger quantities than in 1947.
Practically all building materials
are now increasing production.
Dear little Arizona is the Ma
tion's leading producer of copper
and it stands near the top in the

There are many changes in the
conditions of living. Prices are
easing in most fields. New con-
struction is having ups-and-dOwns.
Credit is a little bit easier in the
money markets. But it is bad
habit for people everywhere to de-
mand that the Government should
hack wholesale formulas and levy
more taxes.
Even the Congress is beginning
to realize that taxes are too near
the top ceilings. We must have

ment under complete dictatorial
control; The appropriation of all

If this sort of program leads to
what the Communists in the Unit
ed States call '.'the liberation of
the human being" we just can't
see it OF all. If it means, as they
point out, that 'we are living in
the century of the transition to
Socialism throughout all the Wor-
Id" then all Americans must nec-
essarily guard against such a tran
sitiOn here at home lest We lose
our traditional freedoms of oppor-
tunity and individual rights which
cur forefathers fought to gain and
which We must defend with equal
vigor.
Even the most ardent propon-
ents of the current experiment in
socialism in England are now ad,

can succeed only under a com.

Once that goal is reached

by raising the cost Of stamps

THE HONEYMOON Is OVER

News reports in Washington are
to the affect that President Tru-

troubles are growing deeper. One

that hard times are just around the
corner.

the President started right at the
beginning to drive Congress, but
the old politicians wouldn't stay

DO YOU PAY ENOUGH RENT?
One of the big, old questions be-
fore Congress was whether or not
to continue rent control. OF course
everybody thinks that they pay too
much rent; but the rent control
bill as it was passed will hold rent
prices at the present level.
A good deal of attention was
given in Congress to a proposal
that the States do their own con-
trolling. The States won.
Naturally, the problem differs
in most States, But Senator of New
Hampshire reminded the Congress
Hompshire reminded the Congress
that about 40 State Legislatures

Film and Lecture
Highpoint IZFA
Meeting

The Hillel House at the Uni
versity of Florida was the scene
OF a meeting and lecture Thurs
day, March "a. The Intercollegi-
ate Zionist Federation of America
sponsored the presentation of the
Film, Assignment Tel-Aviv, and
the lecture following, given by
Herman Popkin, director of the
Southern Region Zionist Youth
Commission.
After the film, Herman Popkin
told of the necessity of continu-
ing American Jewish support to
the Israeli community. He
stressed the point that Jewish
culture was dependent on a
humanity of spirit and under
standing between the segments of
Jewry throughout the world.
This humanity he said was the
chief reason why Palestinian
Jewry felt it a duty to find refuge
for the remnants of European
Jewry.
The meeting was closed with a
discussion of these points brought
out by the film and lecture.

the aims of Zionism in the build
ing of a Jewish homeland. To
accomplish these purposes a guest
speaker, an Israeli "shaliach'
(messenger), Yuval Elizur, was
was brought to the campus.
Yuval Elizur, Jerusalem-born
veteran of the Palmach (Hagana
Shock Troops, has been in Amer
lea year as a representative of
Israeli Youth to the Jewish youth
OF America. Later he became q
representative to IZFA, and to
better understand the students
problems he enrolled in the
University of Missouri. Since
that time he has done a great
deal of work and made many
friends in IZFA.
Yuval was well accepted by his
audience of students, where he
delivered an address March 18th.
He discussed the minilary, politi-
cal and economic situation today.
He said, "The war is over, for all
practical purposes, in Israel"
Yuval laid stress on the need for
building homeland now that Is
rael exists as an independent ma
ton. He said that the progress
so far was miraculous, but that
the present needs and problems
far exceed the past accomplish
ments.
Sunday afternoon Yuval went
on a short hike with group of
students who were interested in
the phase of Zionism termed
"chalutziut". Chalutziut is ''pio-
neering in Israeli. There he
answered questions about living
conditions and social customs in
the PaleStinian Jewish commun-
ity.
Aside from the two meetings,
IZFA held Friday Evening Ser
vices at the Synagogue of Gain
esville. Herb Sohn and Gertrude
Bobroff delivered short sermons
and Jackie Falls participated in
the service.
