Fingerprints Trip

spotted one he had studied on a set
Of fingerprint cards Sunday night.

Wade Robinson notified his su-
periors. They brought in a 17-year-
old youth whose statistics were On
the card.
Monday they announced the
youth has confessed stealing q
autos last summer and kicking In
dashbOards and tenders, breaking
glass Observation-Disclosures up
and down on their hoods before
abandoning them.
Robinson said he had taken 30
many prints from the vandalized

Asked why he wrought such de-
struction on the cars he stole, p0-
lice said the youth replied:

Snow White Is
Altered To
Suit Russians
BY TOM REEpY

BERLIN Up - The cold war
mas caught up with Snow White
and the seven dwarfs.
1t started in the Soviet zone Of
Germany, where Communist pro-
ducerS at Greifswald rewrote the
fairy tale and won high praise
from the Russian literary monthly
To-day and Tomorrow. The So
Wet writer commented that the
Grimm version needed certain
changes and explained:
"Snow White should not be a
member of the court, but must be
presented as an outcast. She is
being educated with the children
of the castle janitor and is on very
good terms with the farmers, who
are actually revolutionaries. That's
really why the queen hates her."
The revamped plot is based on
social consciousness and the need
for unseating feudal barons and
dividing the land among the peas
ants.
RIAS, the American High Com.
mission radio in West Berlin, re-
ported the East zones thespian
Shenanigans and went on:
This plot needs thickening, let
us finish it."
The dwarfs, RIAS went on, are
kept busy digging uranium. Their
home is "a grotto of peace" with
seven white doves sitting on seven
little white beds. Miniature copies
of the works of Stain are placed
on seven night tables.
The wicked Queen poisons Snow
White with tainted canned goods
from the United States. A Peoples
Police commissioner, in search Of
potato bugs dropped onto the crops
by foreign enemies, finds Snow
White in her glass coffin and
liberates her. She leaps out, shout.
ing friendship" and the dwarfs
join in until the cries Of JOY are
heard in the Urals.
RIAS concludes:
"And then the young couple went
back to the fatherland of all work
ing people. If they have kept to the
party line, they are still alive"

says it's a crime for anyone to
remain a member of the party
if the party fails to register once
there has been a final order for
it to do so.
So the government could proceed
against some individual who, it was
convinced, was still a member Of
the party which had said it nc

Individual would appeal all the

WASHINGTON Up - Four years
ago Congress handed the govern
ment a harpoon to stick In the
| Communist party. 1t will be many
| months, perhaps years, before the
government knows whether the
harpoon has real barbed point.
In 1850 Congress passed the In
ternal Security Act to force the
party to register with the Justice
Department as a Russian agent
and at the same time give a list
of its officers and members.
The party said at once it would
never register. 1t hasn't done Sc
yet. 1t almost surely Lever will.
To register would be to admit that
the American Communist party
was Moscow tool bent on over
throwing the government.
The inability of the government
so far to force the party into reg
istering-or defying the LAWS
due to the deliberate machinery OF
delay built into the act by Con-
gress itself.
The machinery, intended to give
the Communist party full hear
ing and its day in court to defend
itself, worked like this:
If the attorney general declared
the party an instrument of the
Kremlin he would then ask the
Subversive Activities Cont
Board, specially created by the Sc
curity act, to order the party tc
register.
But this couldn't be done unit
the attorney general presented evl
dence 30 the board to back up his
charge and until the party had
full chance to defend itself againSt
or deny, the attorney generals ac
cusations.
This meant a long hearing. Ant
there was long hearing The gov
ernment and the Communists ar
gued before the board in 1852. II
1853 the board agreed with The
attorney general.
It found the American Commu
MIST party to be a Russian agent
But the party still didn't have t.
register and wouldn't until j
fought the security act and th'
boards findings all the way uI
through the courts.
Thus it started. Last Thursday
the US. Court of Appeals here up
held the constitutionality of the In
ternal Security Act of 1850 anc
the right of the board to order
the party to register.
But the party can, and mos
likely will, ask the appeals cour
to rehear the case The appeal:
court will probably refuse. 1t vii
be some time in 1855 before tha
answer comes down. Assuming tht
party is turned down, it viii ther
appeal to the Supreme Court.

A young fisherman was killed

There is no doubt that this boys

don't profess to know the
What's and Why's of the delay.
But it is known that a young life
was stamped out that might other
wise be living today if he had been
fishing from a catwalk instead of
the road portion of the bridge.
If anyone purposely let personal
feelings or politics delay construc-
ton of the vitality needed safety
projects, they have committed a
terrible crime. It takes a sadistic
person to obstruct the construction
when dangers to human life are
knowingly involved.
Perhaps the catwalkS have not
been built because of a system of
red tape or people who lack ini-
t.ative to correct the defects.

Folks all over the country are
getting pretty diSgusted with the
postal situation. No longer does a
mail box signify something pri-
vate - it is merely a receptacle
for a confused mass of advertiS-
ing material material slapped
together with no regard for the
readers sensibilitieS.
The government, using taxpay-
er's money, is delivering this So
called Junk mail practically free
of charge. Because it comes in such
huge quantities, the average house
holder carts it to a waStebaSket
without bothering to look at it. But
there is always a good chance that
an important letter, written in a
normal size envelope, can become
tangled in the junk and inadvert-
emily thrown away.
Postmaster General Arthur Sum-
merfield is the one who is res
ponsible for the costly and irritable
conditions which prevail now with
regard to this third-class mail. The
experiment" as he calls it, has
turned our mail carriers into walk
ing pack mules. If it continues,
first-class postage rates will have
to be raised in order to defray the
expensive service being provided

enough interest in their customers

Changes ahead For 1855
New Social Security Laws Affect 9 Out OF 10

250,OO0 more. Starting Saturday,
each employer who pays $50 or
more a quarter to a domestic
worker should withhold per cent
of the wages, add 2 per cent from
his own money, and turn over the
entire amount to the government
in quarterly returns. If the house
wife chooses, however, she may
pay the entire 4 per cent tax from
her own money, withholding none
from the workers wages. The
worker files no return but should
get a social security card. Employ
ers may be prosecuted if they fail
to comply.
Coverage also is extended auto
matically to about 100000 self
employed professional people -
architects, engineers. accountants
and funeral directors, who have
heretofore been excluded.
