according to the testimony Of
William Garfield Cummings, an

served as a member of the Auto

Wet soil from the Nazi legions.
Yet the advantage of inspiring
crippling strikes that might
weaken the United States eco
nomic front was ever in the fore
front Of Stalin's strategy to pave
the way for ultimate American
revolution. according to wit
nesses before the Subversive Ac-
tivities Control Board.
Two famous American strikes
were among those spotlighted in
testimony before hearing panel
Of the board, which has spent
more than two years studying
Moscow's control of the Amer
lean Communist party.
With the American Commu-
mist party responding like a
spring to the Hitler-Stalin peace
pact of 1899, Moscow sent orders
for one of the roughest strikes
of modern times, the lengthy
struggle at the Allis-C Chalmers
plant in Milwaukee.
Dennis Brought Strike Order.
Orders for the shutdown were
brought to Wisconsin by Eugene
Dennis, No. 2 Communist leader
in this country, at a Milwaukee
home in the fall Of 1910, accord
ing to Louis F. Budenz. the re-
former Red who attended the
meeting and later testified be-
fore the board.
The object was to close a vital
link in Americas arsenal of de-
mocracy for Britain, then fight
ing Russia's ally, Germany.
Allis- Chalmers was selected with
great care, because of it's con-
struction of machinery for the
Navy. With Allis-C Chalmers
closed. it was hoped the Amer
lean war effort would soon lag.
Among those present at the
Milwaukee meeting where Den
mis- brought the word from Mos
COW was Harold r. Christoffel,
then the Red-line president of
the United Auto Workers local
at the plant. according to Bu-
denz. Christoffel agreed the
strike should be called, said
Budenz.
Another famous defense strike
was 'instigated and led" by the
Communists, according to the
finding of a hearing panel of
the board. Communists planned
the 1941 strike at the North
American Aviation plant in In
glewood, Calf, after consulta-
ton with Russia's Comintern
agents who in turn operated
under Stain dictated Moscow
orders.
Hitler Upset Plans.
Communist leaders discussed
the North American situation at
length in party meetings and the
Communist district bureau for
mulated the final economic de-
mands made on the plant
management, according to Paul
Crouch, a member of the party
from 1927 to 1912. Here again,
the wage dispute provided only
a polite cover for the Reds
They were interested primarily
in halting plane production.
But embarrassment comes
even to Communists. Both Mos
COW and the American Commu-
mist leaders were caught short
by Adolf Hitler's surprise inva-
sion of Russia on June %, 1941
Immediately after the invasion
| Moscow sent order to the United
States to end all Red-provoked
strikes in America. Full produc-
ton was wanted now to stop
Hitler. Communist California
headquarters quickly moved to
end the North American strike

Rear Mr.. Harris:
Mrs. Lizzie johnson has asked
that all of us express ourselves
to the board Of education, ths
superintendent of schools and tn
papers on the question Of segrc
CATION In our community schools.
The fundamental Bahai princi-
pie, the oneness Of mankind and
the unity Of the human race, has
clear practical applications. We
believe that skin color is one of
the least reliable standards by
which to judge the worth of an
individual. Intelligence, honesty,
generously of spirit, courage,
courtesy and such qualities are
not given to any one race or de-
MED to any race. These character
istics and scholastic preparation
should guide US in choosing teach
ers. Race should not be a consid-
! GRAFTON.
Where could recognition of the
progress of the Negro race be
better demonstrated than in the
competent teachers it has pro-
duced. These teachers could give
as much to our white children as
they do to the Negro. We would
like to have our children learn
under such teachers as part OF
their school experience.
II the blight of racial preju-
dice is to be lifted from our land
the schools are the best instru-
ments for teaching that there
are good and bad people in all
races. The non-segregated schools
allow the natural contacts that
will teach this important lesson.
They have become the symbol OF
freedom for the Negro. symbol
Of first class citizenship.
The same God has created us
all II must gricve Him to see
discord among His children.
