The Montana Progressive Party

Wood "subversive" control bill passed
by the House of Representatives with
out hearings, this week, L. L. Price,
state chairman, has announced.
This so called anti communist
measure" states Mr. Price, els an
other attempt to hamstring political
action of any kind by unions and
peoples organizations. This bill, if
enacted into law, would effectively
silence all democratic expressions.
Noting that "this bill does not apply
to Communists alone but is aimed at
all groups who may happen to dis
agree on any issue with the Admins
tration", Price observed that putting
dlssidents behind bars does not justi-
ty the policy of the political party

candidate for the office of public

heavier casualties than at any
time in the campaign. This boosted
the morale of the Communists
until they met Western firepower
and fighting ability for the first
time.
AS was expected at Tokyo head
quarters. the Communists-al-
though possessing great numerical
superiority-gained a new respect
for the punch thrown by The
Americans and their allies. The
Reds in North Korea began TO
avoid direct contact with our men.
The Chinese, in particular. de-
cided that safe distance between
themselves and the u. N. forces
was the best policy.
Deterioration Increases.
Meanwhile, according to Peiping
information. there is steadily in
|creasing deterioration and con-
fusion throughout the vast ex-
panse of the Chinese mainland.
In recent weeks the bandits, as
Nationalist guerrillas are described
in official Communist commune
ques, have become more aggressive
than in the past. Official Red
broadcasts admit that in the last
few months no less than 100000
such "brigands" have been wiped
out. This is a sizable number,
even for China.
The same broadcasts and other
official sources admit that thou
sands of agents of the American
imperialists and the Bandit
Chang" have infiltrated the
country and are waging a ruth
les campaign against the "Peo-
pies Government" It is con-
firmed now that anti Communist
guerrillas have interfered with
troop transports in the provinces
of Kwangtung and Kwangsi. Acts
Of sabotage against the armed
forces are reported daily.
1t is. true that the Chinese su-
preme command has not yet en-
gagged the relatively few highly
trained and well-equipped elite
forces. which constitute a kind Of
personal guard for the rulers. But
the divisions which struck our
forces early in November were
well trained and had air support
from Soviet planes, based in what
Gen. Macarthur describes as the

River.
So long as the surprises lasted
the Chinese Reds did well. When
we hit back these Chinese with

mentality of the Chinese Reds,
mentality which prevails through

with this lack of enthusiasm for

French, Viet-Namese
To Get S400 Million

The United States has ear
marked between $500 million and
$400 million for a two-year pro-
gram of aid to French and native
forces fighting Communist-sup-
ported rebels in Indo- China.
This was disclosed yesterday by
diplomatic authorities following a
formal decision by France to give
a greater measure of independence
to the Viet-Namese.
The French National Assembly
approved Thursday a government
plan for a creation Of a Viet-Nam
national army in Indo-C China to
be commanded by former Emperor
Bao Dai. The plan, favored by the
United States. calls for a gradual
shift in responsibility for the de-
Tense of Indo-China from France
to Viet-Nam and to newly created
associated states.
The French action was hailed
privately by American officials as
a hopeful long-range step toward
dealing with the Communist in
vasion threat. For the new ma
tional army, Bao Dai can draw
from an estimated $4,000 partly
trained and equipped men now
scattered among existing anti
Communist forces.
American assistance will con.
tinue to be given both to the
French union forces and to the
projected new national army
The first American aid was the
delivery Of eight transport planes
in June. The first ground force
equipment started arriving in
August and the following month
IL viet-Nam battalions were sup.
piled.
Authorities said so fighter planes
and some of two groups of B-2e
bombers were delivered.

The council has been holding its
National convention here with
about As delegates in attendance
They claim to represent Is Funda-

covering is million members.
Under Mr.. Acheson's policies, -
a resolution read, Communist
conquest has possessed more ter
'ritory than that gained by the
Kaiser and Hitler combined, the
Korean War was made possible,
and Alger Hiss has not yet had
the back of the Secretary of State
turned upon him.
The delegates wanted it clearly

United States, not their own
group.
Under no circumstances" said
the resolution, could the Ameri-.

see its way clear to- invite him

The new national council re-
ferred to will be formed here next
week at sessions starting Tuesday
1t says it will have as members
25 Protestants and 4 Eastern Or
thodox denominations. composed
Of 80 million Americans.
The American council took up
this point in another resolution
and questioned its claims to rep
resent and to speak for so many
American people"
For one thing. the resolution
asserted. "the social policies of
the (nationaD council are
contrary to the social policies of
the great Christian constituency
of the United States as reflected
at the polls"
For another, said the delegates,
"for the NCC to present its pro-
nouncements in the name of 80
million people creates a false i'm
preston Of Professionalism and af-
fords unwarranted emphasis to
what is being said in the minds
of those who do not understand
what has been done"
