| |Romanian Refugee
Describes How Reds
| Take Over Country

Romainian refugee, who refused
to give his name for fear Of re-
praisals against his family, told
the Friendship Citizens Associa-
ton last night the story Of how
q small band Of Communists go
about taking over a country.
The speaker requested that
nothing be written to identify him.
my family would be in danger
If the Communists know I was
here, for they are like the Nazis-
they torture friends and families
of those who escape"
He told the group the Communist
Party Of only 2,eO0 in Ronania
captured the country by two
means:
First they released all the GRIM
inal elements from the prisons
and Immediately enrolled them in
the Communist Party, and then
they got small army of Ro-
manian soldiers captured by the
Russians during the war and
ndoctrinated in communism. !"
With these tools, he said, enough
tension and fear can be created
to upset the country.
The refugee said the people of
Romania were unaware Commu-
nists were surrounding them un-
til street demonstrations, which
usually sported the flags Of Amer
lea. Britain and Russia. one day
showed only the hammer and
sickle. At the same time, the
Communists held two high gov
eminent positions, the ministries
of justice and interior, he said.
With these key positions, they
could make the law and control
its enforcement. he explained.
He said the Communists them
selves machine-gunned innocent
people in the streets so they could
blame it on the coalition govern
ment, because they want heroes" ?"
He likened these tactics to the re-
cent riot in Peekskill at the Paul
Robeson concert.
In their regular business meet
ing the association opposed pro-
jected two-cent increase in gaso-
line taxes. The group also asked
the Zoning Commission and the
Zoning Board Of Adjustments to
announce publicly any proposed
zoning changes at least one month
In advancne of any hearings on
the matter.
