the latter is closer to the center
Of world communism and under a

he desires, desert to capitalism

doing.
AS a matter of fact. it requires
less fanaticism to be a Communist
in Russia, where the rewards are
substantial, than to be a Com
munist in one of the Western
democracies, where the present
rewards are practically nil anc
where to remain a Communist re-
quires a blind fanaticism and
militancy which knows no rea-
son and is subject to no curb but
that of the master.
This very intensity of the Com.
munist belief among the foreign
Communists-particularly in the
United States-is what makes
these men so dangerous in theil

The second piece Of confusion
which the Communist leaders

armies, when they decide to un.
leash their might in furtherance
of the world revolution.
No Further Doubt.
One of the stock replies, by
those who are determined to re-
main liberal" in their views, to
the contention that Communists
everywhere are engaged in a con-
spiracy to sabotage their own
countries and to deliver them to
the enemy is that the existence
of such a conspiracy has never
been proved. It is admitted that
there is plenty of. evidence that
such a conspiracy exists, and fire.
quent allegations that it exists
have been made by those who
should know what they are talk
ing about.
Now there can be no further
doubt. The Communist has come
out of hiding to reveal himself
for what he is-a purposeful and
deliberate traitor to the demo-
cratic system which permits him
to exist, and a participant IN a
conspiracy of espionage and sabo-
tage designed to assist Russian
armies everywhere on this earth
With these two points now
proved beyond equivocation, we
can take a fresh look at COM
munism and its agents in our
midst. 1t is a unified. single
minded, worldwide organism de-

regarded-and dealt Within this
country, as in the other Western
democracies, on the basis of the

Approved by Council
By the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Mar. SIS
rael's application for membership
in the United Nations was ap-
proved yesterday by the Security
Council. This made virtually Ger
tain her admission as the 59th
U. N. member soon after the As
sembly meets April S.
The council voted, 9 to /, in
favor of the application. The lone
opposing vote was that of Egypt.
Her delegate, Mahmoud Bey Faw-
ri, said his country and his dele
cation wash their hands" of the
Councils action.
Britain's delegate, Sir Terence
Shone, abstained after telling the
Council his government wanted
the Israeli government to clear up
its intentions regarding Jerusalem
and the Arab refugees.
He said some Israeli officials
had indicated they would oppose
the U. N. decision to internation-
alize Jerusalem. He said also he
wanted to know what Israel would
do about her responsibilities
toward Arab refugees. He said
Britain would not use the veto to
block the application now.
Those two statements marked
the only interruption in the prog
ress of Israel'S application
through concluding speeches to
the final vote.
Last December, the Council
failed to approve Israel's applica-
ton, only five countries voting for
it. France and China, which alb
stained in December. approved
the bid today.
The other countries voting for
Israel today were the United

S1,9S1 Income Tax
Liens Filed Against
LANCER for '43, "A

Liens totaling $1,981.21 for al
legedly unpaid income taxes for
1943 and 1914 were filed against
Senator LANCER, Republican, of
North Dakota, in District Court
yesterday.
The Senator said, in a state
ment issued later, that the tax
returns in question had been pre-
pared by a representative Of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and
that he had paid in full the tax
for one of the years in question
and part Of the tax for the other
year.
One of the liens filed yesterday
was for $1,814.56 for taxes the
bureau said were due for 1943, and
the other for $166.65, said to have
been due on 1914 taxes.
Says Aides in Disagreement.
Senator LANCER said Ralph
Chisholm had been assigned by the
Internal Revenue Bureau to assist
him in preparing his tax returns.
Later, he said, he asked the bu-
reau to check his taxes for the
years 1926. Mr.. Chisholm was
i'll at the time, and Thomas F..
O'Rourke was assigned instead.
"Mr. O'Rourke disagreed with
some of the items which Mr..
Chisholm had allowed as being
deductible, Senator LANCER said.
Finally the controversy between
the two Federal men ended by my
receiving a notice that I owed
taxes for 1943 and 1914, but that
I had overpaid in the amount of
several hundred dollars for the
years 1945 and 1916, for which
they allowed me a refund.
Checks to North Dakota.
Shortly afterward. paid the
1914 tax in full to the collector
of internal revenue, Fargo,
N. OAK, later sending check for
$500 to the same collector of in
ternal revenue to be applied to
my 1943 taxes.
Naturally, I was amazed to be
notified today of the filing Of a
tax lien against me for 1914 taxes
which already had been paid in
full. 1t is interesting to note that
no tax official has contacted me
in this connection since the time
that the two Government officials
agreed on the amount due"
Tax liens totaling $73,636.88
were filed at the same time against
Robert S. Weintraub, broker with
offices in the Transportation
Building. 1t is claimed Mr.. Vein
traub owes $32,175.40 in income
taxes for 1945, another $40,218.34
for 1916 and $1,243.14 for 1947.
Mr.. Weintraub said the taxes
are being paid now, several pay
ments having been made already.

Communist Partie!
In World Held LOYAL
Only 10 Soviet Union
In Their Concept, Wars
Are Inevitable Until
World Is Sovietized
By Dorothy Thompson

There is, of course, direct con-
nection between the declaration
and indictments of Thorez in
France, Togliatti in Italy, Pollitts
in Great Britain, the German
Communists in the Soviet zone
and the trial of II Communist
leaders in New York. All belong
to the same international party;
all have identical aims, and all
are participants in a universal
grand strategy.
Thanks to the candor of the
European Communists, that STRAIT
egy has become a matter of im-
mediate contemporary record
though it conforms to Commu-
mist plans and conceptions held
undeviatingly from the BolsheviSt
revolution in Russia to the present
day.
In the global concept every
Communist in the world, and
every section of the world party
in every country, has but one
fatherland-the Soviet Union.
In that concept. international
wars are inevitable until all the
world becomes sovietized. All
wars, except those in which Soviet
Russia is engaged, are imperial
iSt wars
Reds Called NOnaggreSSOrs.
In all international wars, the
Soviet Union is-as Thorez put It
by definition" a nonaggressor,
fighting defensively. If, for i'll
stance, the Soviet Union attacks
another nation without warning
as it did in 1899, the action is not
aggressive, but is merely prudent
defensive foresight. Conversely
whoever attacks the Soviet Union
or resists an attack by the Soviet
Union is "by definition" an i'm
perialist aggressor.
Should war occur between the
Soviet Union and any other state
or combination of states, Commu-
mist parties must give the Soviet
Union every aid and comfort
They must sabotage defense in
stallations, create mutinies in the
armed services. engineer strikes in
factories. attempt to turn the in
ternational war into civil war
and welcome the Soviet and its
allied armies as 'liberators.
These theses" are all openly
confirmed by the European Com.
munists. They are shared by the
American Communist Party. The
conspiracy to overthrow this Gov.
ernment and every other non-
Communist government is unques.

years or more before the famed
Virginia episode embodied inI
the story of John Smith and Po-
eahontaS. ~
In fact. as Manatee folks point
out, Captain John Smith made no.
mention of such AN adventure in
his first report while the drarnat-
ic story of Juan Ortiz and his
rescue by a chiefs daughter was
published in Portugal I'M 1857 and
there are those who believe that
Captain John appropriated the.
thrilling narrative to himself. 4

in Bradentons March 22-25, re-
vived. the controversy and a re-
cent news dispatch. again adj

Released by. the wire Services
to travel far and wide in the pub
lie prints, it naturally reached
the eyes of many staunch and
true ViEginians and, as a result,
the DeSoto Celebration Commit
tee and local Chambef of Com
merce have been flooded with
letters of indignation from those
who would defent the sacred
honor of Captain John Smith, Po-
cahontas and the state of Vir-
ginia.
In her historical novel, Ever
glades. River of Grass" Marjory
Stoneman Douglas recounts the
story of Juan Ortiz as gained
from ' old Spanish records. It
seems that Juan, a member of
Panfilo de Narvaez's expedition
ventured ashore with a compan-
ion near the mouth of the Mana
tee River and was captured, His
companion, who attempted to c.
cape, was killed. All hope of res
cue vanished as he watched h.
ship pull anchor and sail away.
fearful because of their small
numbers to risk battle with tho
Indians that greatly outnum-
bcred. them.
Ortiz was taken to the redskin
camp where he remained a pris~
oner that night and the next
morning was dragged out and
tied to a stake to be burned to
death. Just as the fire was be-
ing set an Indian maid, daughter
of the tribal Chief Ucita, APP
pealed to her father.
Pleading for the white mans
life she pointed out that it would
be a proud thing for him and for
the tribe to have a white slave
as captive. Impressed and be-
cause he was very fond of his
daughter, the old chief spared
the Spaniard'S life. He was later
rescued by DeSoto and is re-
ported to have lost hts life years
later while crossing the. MiSsis-
sippi.
So there you have the story for
what it is worth. The historians
of Manatee claim that they can
prove it and challenge Virginia
to provide authentic records that
will substantiate the claims of
Captain John Smith. While adj
hitting that John Srnith may
have been rescued also, a hun
dred years or so later, there is no
proof of his story and anyhow by
that time it was old stuff, consid-
ering the fact that Ortiz had his
amazing experience long before
John Smith was born.
The famed story will be re-
vived in a colorful pageant as a
part of the DeSoto Celebration
