There's a Difference

The problem of whether, in a free
society, we should make membership
in the Communist party illegal clearly
involves deep questions Of principal.
Many non-Communists feel that it
would establish a precedent of great
potential danger. Many others feel
strongly that Communism at home is
as great a menace as Communism
abroad and cannot be tolerated
An extremely interesting contribu-
tion to this controversy has been pro-
vided by Justice Robert jackson of
the Supreme Count. 1t is found in an
opinion written by him in a test
case before the Court concering the
constitutional validity of that pro
vision of the Hartley Act which
requires that officers of labor union
file an affidavit that they are not
members of the Communist patry.
Mr.. jackson opened his opinion with
these words If the statute before us
required labor union officers to for
swear membership in the Republican
party, the Democratic party, or
the Socialist party, | suppose all
agree it would be unconstitutional.
But why, if it is valid as to the Com
munist party? The answer for me, is
in the decisive difference between the
Communist party and every other
party of any Importance in the long
experience of the United States with
party government"
The Justice then went on to point

out five distinguishing Characters
tics of the Communist party which
place it in a unique form, are as fol-
lows:
l. "The goal of the Communist
party is to seize powers of govern
ment by and for a minority rather
than to acquire power through the
vote of a free electorate"
2. "The Communist party alone
among American parties past or pres
ent is dominated and controlled by a
foreign government"
3. "Violent and undemocratic
means are the calculated and indis-
pensable methods to attain the Com
munist party's goal"
4. "The Communist party has
sought to gain this leverage and hold
on the American population by acquir-
ing control of the labor movement >
5. every member of the Commu-
mist party is an agent to execute the
Communist program"
Mr.. Jackson, of course, was dealing
with specific provision Of one law
not with the proposition of whether
the Communist party could be de-
clared illegal. However, the points he
laid down are, in general, those
which have caused many thoughtful
people to conclude that American

Dorothy Dix
Girl, II, Too Young to Marry;
Should Wait Till She's 20

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have
a daughter aged IT. Just a high
school kid, A man % years old
is paying attention to her. He is
a fine man in every respect, but
I feel she is too young to have
regular company. What would
you do about it?
81 AN4ANXIOUS MOTHER :,
Answer: Just let it rock along
without making any issue Of it
except that the girl cannot GO
out or have dates during school
nights.
Nearly all young girls are SO
flattered by the attentions of
grownup men that they imagine
themselves in love with them.
This is likely to happen to your
daughter. If it does, don't make
the mistake of violently opposing
the man. Nothing precipitates a
marriage like opposition. Just
stall for time. Make them wait
until the girl is at least 20.
Seventeen is too young for any
girl to marry. At that age her
tastes are uniformed and she has
no idea of what kind of man she
will want for a husband three
years later. And she has had nc

playtime Of life. and to miss that
does something terrible to a
woman. It upsets her for life.
She is always crazy for the fun
she missed, hungry for the ro-
nance she never had, craving the
admiration of men. Nearly all
the women who, at middle age. get
themselves into scandals married
intheir teens.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We
have two friends who were mar
ried several years ago. The wife
cares nothing for her husband.
She cheapens herself in flirtations
and is unfaithful to him. THE
husband woIships his wife and
does not suspect her. He is the
type of man who might really be-
come desperate. What can be
done about this mess? Shall we
tell the husband?
TWO ONLOOKERS.
Answer: Never interfere be-
tween a man and his wife unless
you want to get into trouble your
self. Telling the husband that
his wife doesn't love him and has
affairs with other men won't make
her fond of him or true to him.
It will serve no good purpose.

Clubs
Federation Urges
Truman Action
On KoreoC
By Ruth Dean

The District Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs yesterday petitioned
President Truman to make every
possible effort" to end the pres
ent uncalled-for attack of North
ern Korea against South Korea. /"
The action was taken at the or
ganization's last meeting Of the
season at the Hamilton. Hotel.
The motion, introduced by Mrs.
Harvey w. Wiley, expressed par
ticular interest" in the peaceful
settlement of the conflict because
of the close ties between the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
and its Korean affiliate Of more
than 4 million women.
At the same time the federation
protested the sentences given the
three women recently convicted in
the Czechoslovakian treason trial.
The action was similar to that
taken last week by the Pan Amer
ican Liaison Committee of Wom-
ems Organizations.
The federation protest was ad-
dressed to prominent United Ma
tions officials. including Secretary
General Trygve LIE and Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The letters pointed out that one
of the women, DR.. Milada Hora-
kova, who received a death sem
tence, served as chairman of the
National Council of Women in
Czechoslovakia and in 1945 was
elected to be a member of par
lament.
All three women are acclaimed
as leaders among women" the
letter states.
The meeting yesterday was the
first in the administration of the
new federation president, Mrs.
Stuart E. Womeldorph.
Other action included the ap-
proval of Mrs. Charles H. Pierce
as parliamentarian. On the mo-
ton of Mrs. E. Morgan Pryse,
new welfare chairman, $50 do
nation was made to the Home for
Incurables.
The new legislation chairman,
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard, requested
the clubwomen to send letters to
their representatives in Congress
urging that the electoral college
reform bill "be put on the House
calendar Immediately and a IA
vorable vote be taken on it,"

Brown America
Knows Baseball
NEW YORK CAMP FOR
YEARS WE'VE TALKED with
fellow Americans who discuss our
national pastime in manners be-
coming a "Red" Barber or a Mel
Allen to name two at the top.
Most of these brown-skinned
baseball statisticians can be found
near the popular Willrose Art
and Musical Club, Inc, on west
132nd street, the meeting grounds
of hundreds of musicians of Local
8O2.
Such men as Clint Mitchell,
Steve. Wright, Bookshelf" But
Ter, Junius Byrd, Tommy Youen
Hilltop" Pollack, Jack Jones,
Theodore Wright, Percy Harris
and Herbie ("Geaorge Rose")
Taylor. Of course, we could name
a score more, all sportsmen who'll
make a wager on their opinions
and rest on the decisions found
in Frank G.. Menke's Encyclopedia
of Sports, or Arthur Daley's 1850
baseball wonder book.
Things They Talk About
Between innings OF watching
televised- baseball on the beautiful
Dumot set in Harris's Corner. a
bar-restaurant owned and operat-
ed by Percy Harris, a merchant,
who is very much a part of Har-
LENS long history, baseball is dis
cussed from 1876 to the present.
You must know your baseball
history or you'll forever remain
a listener, not a spokesman in
this baseball-wise gathering. We
wonder how you would have an
swered some of the shots we've
heard Clint Mitchell and Steve
Wright throw out from year to
year ~?
For example:
(Q). Since 1900, what teams
in the National and American
leagues have had the highest team
batting average and during what
seasons?
(A). N. Y. GIANTS, NATIONAL
LEAGUE, WITH 319 in 1880: De-
troit Tigers, with BIG IN 1871.
OBJ. How many games did
Rogers Hornsby play in. when ne
bated 424, the highest batting
average for any major batting
champion in a single season? How
may did Ty Cobb and George
Sisler appear in when they both
batted APO for American league
batting titles -?
a.. Rogers Hornsby, National
leagues greatest batsman, saw
action in 143 games when he hit
the highwater-mark of 424 back in
1924. Ty Cobb, in 1911, was in
LAG games for his 42Oy while the
ex-Michigan university pitching
