mother of Mrs. Donald H. Har-

trumpets of colonialism and
rushes to the defense of exploi-
tation. 1t seeks to calm the wat
ers of revolution by spreading
the oil of the status quo If we
do not win these people by
meeting their needs, then COM
munism surely will.
"Another evidence of our spir-
itual disability is that the coun-
try is in the midst of a witch
hunt, the ostensible purpose of
which is a purge of the COM
munist, but the real purpose of
which is to drive liberals into a
storm cellar. :"
Reverend Weston went on to
say, "Our President, who seems
to want to ride the waves as ad-
vantageously as he can with an
eye to next years elections,
seems willing to compromise
with the McCarthys of America
although deep down in his heart
he must detest them, knowing
that the menance of communism
in this country is hoax. The
actual enemy of America at the
present time is not Russia
potentially dangerous as she is
but super-patriots eating away
at the foundations of our civil
liberties like termites. The Nc.
Carthys, the JennerS, the Nc
Carrons and the VeldeS are do
ing more to destroy our freedom
than Joe Stain ever dreamed OF
doing through subversive activi'
ties" Personally, I'm sure
wouldn't get along at all as a
member of Reverend Weston's
church. If the members of Con
gress he mentions are destroying
freedom in our country, then it's
time for me to move to an un-
inhabited island in the South
Pacific.
No one knows how many com
munist ministers there are In
this country. l don't believe
there are very many, even
though the fact that there were
seven in one communist cell in
Boston seems to indicate that
there may be quite few. How
ever, even one is too many and
| agree with Reverend YingeI
that it's up to the churches
thmselves to put their houses
in order. My only fear on this is
that nothing will be done unless
rank and file church members
like you and me force the issue
I'd suggest that in the near fut-
ure you ask the pastor of your
church what is being done to be
sure there aren't any commun'
lists among the ministers in your
denomination.

THE AMERICAN WAY


congressional committee, Her
bert A. Philbrick, an FBI count
er-spy who spent two years as
member of communist cell in
Boston, stated under oath that in
his cell there were "seven hard
ened, steeled, disciplined COM
munists posing as ministers of
the gospel" Each of these minis
ters was at that time pastor of a
church. Mr.. Philbrick testified
further that the communist
party plants and places minis
ters."
In view of the fact there is
irrefutable evidence that some
communists have sneaked into
our pulpits, what should we do
about it? Reverend Homer V.
Yinger, pastor of the Fairlawn
Community Church, Akron,
Ohio, preached a sermon on this.
He said, "If there are commu-
niStS in our churches, let the
churches themselves ferret them
out"
Reverend Yinger went on to
say, "The churches have a far
greater stake than government,
or any other agency or group, in
seeing that communism, if
there be such in the churches,
be rooted out. For communism
negateS just about everything
the church stands for.
"The communist does not be-
lieve in God; the Christian bases
his whole structure of belief on
that central faith. The commu-
mist takes his stand on the philo-
sophy of Karl Marx; the Christ
ian focuses his life on the teach
jngs of Christ. The communist
believe in the violent over
throw of whatever government
does not serve his purpose; the
Christian strives for peaceful
and creative change holding that
his primary loyalty is to God,
and that he should render unto
Caesar the things that are Cae-
Sar'S.'
"The communist believes that
the ideal state is ruled by the
proletariat; the Christian be-
lieves that all men are created
equal and that all have equal
God-given rights and response
bilities under the law. The com
munist believes that the end
justifies the means; the Christ
ian knows that the means will
determine the end. The commu-
mist believes that history is
made almost exclusively by
economic factors; the Christian
believes that many forces shape
human history, that life cannot
be reduced to striving for mat.
erial gain and that purposes OF
God run like a silver cord
through history, sometimes OBJ
scured, but tying our human
striving together in some mean.

 Harbor facilities are there for the use of all boat owners, but it is being mis-used by few, Kirkpatrick states.
 Boats and gear are blocking the street right of way and clut ter up the approach to the float. Even the float itself is so heav- fly loaded that it is partly under water.
 Boats blocking the right of way will be marked, he states. If owners do not remove them, the city will do it and the owner will be billed for the moving.

Sewer Bonds Mus4 Be vofed Upon Again

Mayor Russell Painter an nounced this week that he has been informed by Don Wilson, Director of Alaska Public Works, that it will be necessary to vote again upon the sewer bond issue which was passed by election November 26, 1851.
 It seems that flaw in the wording of the original ballot made the election unacceptable to the government. Although the work was begun and nearly completed last year, payment is still to be made. Another cleo tion to legalizc the issue will be held in the near future.
 A clarification of the situation will be given by Mayor Painter over the radio, according to the proposed plan.
