The Communist Vote

For great many years. we have con-
sidered that the foundation on which
this country rested (personal liberty
and free enterpriSe) was so strong that
we did not have to give it any special
consideration. We thought it best to
let the Socialists and the other long
haired vislonaries rant to their hearts
content. That worked out all right up
to the time that we began bringing
emigrants here by the millions. These
late emigrantS. principally from SOUTH
ern Europe and Asia. had many Social
lists and Communists among them, who,
Of course, Joined up with the American
variety. This gives us pretty good
sized backlog of radical voters who hold
the balance of power, where two OLD
parties are about equally divided. In
this way they have been able to elect.
men to Office. who, if they are not
Communists, are at least unfit to hold
Office in this republic.
At this time when the Government is
asking for money, power and control
of industry to meet the threats of
Russia, I think the people have the
right to ask what the administration
has done and is going to do to stamp out
Socialism, Communism and the rest of
the isms. that mean the same thing in
the United States. Why do we allow
avowed Communists to represent Ger
tain districts in our Congress? In fact,
why allow Communist to vote in our
elections? Socialist does not believe
in our form of Government or in the
Constitution of the United States and
he is always ready to overthrow oul
Government. In fact he is a traitor to
our country and it is perfectly obvious
that he should have no part in the
Government Of this republic.

The Atomic Energy Commission
opened the door part way yester-
day for private firms to start
making electric power from atom
splitting.
This may hasten the day when
your living room will be lighted
indirectly-by atomic energy, al
though that day still appears tc
be 10 to Is years or more in the
future.
What the Aces action NAV
mean for the near future is higher
production of plutonium, the
man-made atom bomb element
and maybe of tritium for the still
undeveloped hydrogen super
bomb as we'll.
The commission announced il
is willing to work, under certain
conditions. with two industrial
groups which want to look into
the question of building nuclear
reactors-"atomic furnaces
producing plutonium and with the
ultimate goal of making electric
power.
One such proposal came from
c. A. Thomas of the Monsante
Chemical Co. He wants the Gov.
eminent to lend industry enough
uranium-the atomic raw ma
terial'-to supply a S25 million
reactor which industry. would
build.
All the plutonium made by this
process would be turned over tr
the Government. Industry would
experiment with the released
atomic energy, using it to make
electric power.
A similar proposal has been
made jointly by j. w. Parker OF
Detroit Edison and M. E. Putnam
OF the Dow Chemical Co.
The commission said these pro-
posals offered a chance to bring

confronting counties as result
of the proposed program for Fed

Twenty-three officials from the

been invited.
Chairman Chavez of the Public
Works Committee said the re
location of Government buildings

the counties, and we would like

question of impact upon schools,

other facilities in county caused
