Your Civil Liberties Hang In the Balance

1t is based on the assumption that Com
munist ideas and Communist propaganda are
likely to turn the devotion of Americans
from their own traditions, institutions, and
values Proceeding on this assumption, the bill
provides for an elaborate arrangement-es-
sentially the same as that previously estab-
lished by the Mundt-Nixon bill-under which
an administrative tribunal would designate
organizations as Communist action" groups
and Communist front" groups; these groups
and all their members would be registered
with the Government and subjected to
number of disabilities; and any publicity ema-
mating from them would have to be labeled
as coming from Communist organization"
These are limitations on freedom of
ISOLATION and freedom of expression which
Americans have additionally enjoyed. If
they genuinely served to protect internal
security, they might we'll be warranted. But
their contribution to security is precisely nil.
Indeed they are extremely likely to Illustrate
that purpose by driving the whole network of
Communist groups underground
The United States is not in danger from
Communist ideas. Those who fear that the
American people will be subverted by the
partys propaganda in favor of despotic,
alien system are who have themselves
lost faith in the good sense of the people
and in the vitality of American institutions
Espionage and sabotage are real dangers to
be dealt with through realistic precautions.

REGISTRATION FARCE

With administration leaders in the Senate

trol' bills. thinking Americans have focused
attention on this knotty problem.
Whether controls will reach the extreme
of outlawng Communists is not known, but
the matter nonetheless deserves the atten-
ton Of Americans everywhere for 1t hits at
the bedrock of our democratic principles
1t is hoped that when Congress finally
tackles the question mature consideration
and not emotional judgment will govern the
action of Senators and Representatives.
The freedom of assembly, speech ana
press, guaranteed by the Constitution, do
not mean merely freedom for those with
whom we agree On the other hand, these
freedoms do not guarantee freedom to com
nit or promote sabotage, sedltlon or the
overthrow of the government by violence.
The dissenters and the unorthodox are
granted the right to disagree with estab-
ished principles, and, if they desire, to adj
vocate changes in the political and economic
structure through the ballot

attempt by statute to forbid the harborng

registration provisions, it leaves such great

board and it is couched in such broad IAN

CAuTION NEEDED

The Subversive Activities Control and Com
munist Registration Act adopted by the House
ignores the real dangers of espionage and
sabotage confronting this Nation and aims
instead at something shadowy, to wit, sub
versivion.
Its stated purpose is ''to protect the United
States" Yet it affords none of the protec-
lions against espionage and sabotage rec
commended by the President; it makes no
provision for the safeguarding of military in
stallations and bases, even for the super
vision of deportabe aliens

and their dangerous ideas underground where
they can work unseen toward the eventual
overthrow of democracy.
By attempting to legislate against the
Communist Party, we leave the impression
with all the world that democracy way
of life is not strong enough to withstand
onslaughts.
The founding fathers realized that polit-
teal ideas inimcal to our form of govern
ment would in time be conceived and would
endanger our governmental structure, but
they believed that democracy would stand
supreme if given the opportunity to compete
openly in the vast court of world opinion.
1t would be the wisest course, The Register
believes, for control legislation against com
munism to be deferred. The laws of the land
are sufficient to cope with extremists in the
Communist Party. Let us not allow the Reds
to provoke into ill7conceived political
action as they have constructing military
action.

SHORT SHOTS
By WIN. J. PRIEST. Livingston

Mundt, CP Front" Officer :.
Senator Carl Mundt claims the
Mundt-Nixon Bill will catch Commu-
nists. Experts like the FBI who
catch communists state the Bill only
catches headlines.
Let's check Mundt's record:
His open leadership in the America
First movement. His admiration for
pro-Nazi organizations.
Stain in 1894 said eve can do
business with Hitler. America First
said the same thing.
Mundt was a Communication of
ficer in his youth. He was program
director in 1923 Denver session
"Rocky Mountain Writers Confer
ence" which was a Communist con-
trolled organization.
AFL League reporter asks Sena-
tor Mundt three questions:
Under the Mundt-Nixon Bill
would you yourself have to re
sign from the Senate? Or would
you merely have to register your
past subversive associations? You
were associated with pro-commu-
nists in your youth and with pro-
fascists later. When did you have
any pro Democracy experiences
to qualify you to write law pro-
tecting Democracy?
Unless President Truman vetoes
this bill write him to do so) maybe
a lot of churches will be outlawed
for supporting the doctrines of Jesus
Christ Hitler did it. Stain did it.
Better register and vote on Novem-
Der 7th or else.

Quoted for railroad pensions (which

more protein in proportion to
their size than do adults because
they are building up tissues while

Continued research is proving
the efficiency of meat in a re-

muscle meats with all fat removed.
The fat has no protein value what

fuel value. Away with it! Fish,

people who do not eat meat at
least one a day are the vegetari-
ans, the i'll, and the financially
embarrassed.
Meat is highly satisfying be-
cause it must be chewed longer
than most foods before being
swallowed, and because it takes
longer in the digestive process.
Protein is the chief nutrient OBJ
tanned from this food group. What
heavy meat eaters do not often
realize is that protein can be OBJ
tanned from other sources. Dried
beans and peas are vegetable pro-
teins equal to the animal proteins
if milk or cheese is served at the
same time. The customary com
bination of baked beans and brown
bread (made with milk and mo-
lasses) makes a main dish that
ranks with meat as a source of
good protein.
Foods rich in protein are good

MONROVIA Liberia (ANP)-
We had left Boston, the first stop
on our flight across the ocean to
Africa at 100 pm, and our next
stop was the Azores Islands. 1t
was a long hop, 2,464 miles and
took 10 and a half hours. Due to
the fact that we were gaining
hours on the clock flying East
ward, it was 1850 in the morning
when our plane, the Donald Nc
Kay, reached Santa Maria, Azores
Islands.
| wanted to call Bill George
who was acting American consul
for the Azores Che since has been
made full consul while on vacation
at Washington, d. c., his home
this summary. | decided however
that two o'clock in the morning
was not an appropriate time to
call either him or Miss Lille Mae
Hubbard, a Chicago girl who is
an attache ofthe consulate there.
Bill's brother John, who is a
career attache at Monrovia, told
me later that time would have
made no difference. "When you
are that far away from home you
are glad to hear from somebody
you know at any time of night,
he explained.
The azores are owned by Port
ugal, in fact it is only at 888
miles flight from Santa Maria to
Lisban. The airport was some dis
lance from the capital, Ponta De-
legada which is across the bay 10
miles away. 1t was brightly light
ed and several rather meek look
ing Portuguese soldiers in uniform
were on guard.
Tourists Thought To Be
Blessed With Money
Always at these airports as
passengers alight for a bit of rest
and relaxation, the guides or
soldiers indicate the way to the
station. Invariably they usher you
into the restaurant and bar where
it is hoped you will drop some Of
the loose money with which tour
lists are supposed to be blessed.
We passed on to one end of the
long building to a booth where an
