Focinq the Communist Threat
Presidents Call for Moral and Economic Strength Important,
But Military Power Held Key to Salvation Of the Free World

China. Burma and Thailand
and their vast natural wealth
may be placed under the Red
flag. If the West continues
its present fatalistic attitude.
IndoneSia, Malaga and pos
sibly the vast Indian subcon-
tinent may fall prey to the
Kremlin's thirst for world
domination.
The Muscovite inroads are
being strongly felt also in the
Western Hemisphere. What
is happening these days in
Guatemala should be an eye
opener to those who believe
that half measures and a
policy of folded arms are suf-
ficient to counter the greatest
international conspiracy the
world has ever witnessed.
So long as the military power
Of the U. S. S. r. is permitted
to be maintained and increased
every year by new conquests
and additions, the future of the
free world is gloomy indeed.
1t sounds well and high
minded when President Eisen-
hover says that besides re-
naming militarily strong (de-
fensively) we must not be
complacent in the realm of the
spirit, the intellectual, the ma
terial and economic fields. In
the battle against armed
communism, spiritual and in
tellectual values are unfor-
tunately not exportable goods.
The economic life of the enemy
is geared to the military, ours
is not. The spiritual and intel
lectual life of Communist
countries is subjected to the
state" We lose one country
after another to the Reds be-
cause we fear to challenge
them militarily, not because
the Red spiritual" values
have more. impact than ours.
The Kremlin is now in the
process of rounding out its

12-Yeai- 0Id Mother
Reveals How Father
Sold Her ; Sisters

A bizarre story involving the
reported sale of daughters by
their father, was disclosed today
by Fairfax County police as they
investigated the case of a r.
year-old girl who recently be-
came a mother.
The tale told by the girl led
to the arrest of the couple with
whom she had been living in a
shabby cabin in the 1900 block
of No. l Highway.
Woodrow Wilson Davis, 80,
was charged with statutory rape.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Davis, 80,
was charged with contributing
to the delinquency of a minor.
Saved Her From Sale.
Police said that the girl told
them, however, that the couple
saved her from being sold or
given by her father in marriage

domination Of Eastern Asia
as a preliminary to an even
tual showdown with the
United States. Peoples in
countries such as Indo- China
are apparently apathetic as to
who their future masters will
be. They are not in a position
to realize that the slavery i'm
posed on the Wet Mimi by
the Red leaders is far worse
than the semislavery imposed
on them by French colonial
lists.
The Indo- Chinese see what
is before their eyeS-aS, for
instance, that the head of
Wet Nam, Bao Dali. is basking
in the sun on the French Rivi-
era instead of sharing his
peoples hardships. The Lao
tians learn that their King
Sisavangvong has gone to a
spa in France to take care
of his govt and they see the
thousand or so Americans in
their country defer to the
wishes of and obey the orders
of the French. They must
gain their freedom before they
can vaguely begin to under
stand what moral and spirit
ual values are.
The Siamese and Indone-
slams may appreciate our way
of life more. But what they
appreciate most at the pres
ent time is the cloSeneSS of
the Red legions as against
what appears to them to be
the weakness of the Ameri-
cans.
The free world is doomed
unless it understands that the
military power centered in the
hands of the Kremlin must be
destroyed. So far among our
many Western friends on
whom our policy makers feel
they must rely only the Ger
mans and Spaniards seem to
understand what the future
has in store for us.

Davis and his wife admitted
at a court hearing yesterday that
they brought the girl here from
Greenville. Davis denied that
he was the father of her child.
Police said that he told them,
however. that he had had sexual
relations with the girl since the
baby was born six weeks ago.
The girls baby now is in

Call From Airport Police.
Fairfax County police entered
the case after a call from Wash

she was waiting for Davis to get
off work. He was employed as
a hangar cleaner at the airport.

French Reinforcing
Delta Garrisons as
Reds Extend Lines
BY the Associated Press

HANOI, Indo-C China, June IL.
The French poured reinforce
ments into the vital Red River
delta today as speculation grew
that massing Wet Mini legions
would strike there within the
next few weeks.
French Union sources pre-
dicted the Communicated rebels
would launch their expected big
thrust before the monsoon rains
hit their peak at the end OF
June. If they don't, they will
probably have to wait until the
monsoon season ends in early
October.
Several large rebel units which
helped destroy the French bas-
ton of Diem Bien Phu 220 miles
west of Hanoi are already back
at their old posts on the Thanh
Hoa plain. They form part of
an arc the Wet Mimi is weld
ing around the rice-rich delta.
/, French military sources said
the returning units were drawn
from various regiments to boil
ster the Wet Mimi assault on
Diem Bien Phu which finally
fell May 7.
Gen. Paul Ely, the new French
Union commander in chief, flew
to the Delta area yesterday to
inspect defense preparations in
three strategic zones. He is ex-
pected to return to Paris within
10 days to report on the delta
defenSeS.
Rebel units returning from
Diem Bien Phu were spotted sew
eral days ago at Sam Neua. 80
miles south of the fallen for
tress. There was speculation at
first that they might veer south
westward toward Laos and
lanuch another invasion of that
kingdom. Instead they kept
heading eastward to the Thanh
Hoa PLAIN south of the delta.
Other Wet Mimi troops from
Diem Bien Phu were reported
in the Hoa Binh area 35 miles
southwest of Hanoi. while some
were reported moving around
Pluto, As miles northwest of the
city.
French warplaneS were sent
out in force yesterday to pound
Route IL leading from Diem
Bien Phu to the delta.

"This Florida Congressman.
Rogers his name is. He has
put in a resolution to stop

get away with it,"

Remember when Sam Ray

Yes, the Congressman re-
fers to that and he says Sans
wisdom has been demonstrated
most forcefully by what has
been displayed in the Nc
Carthy-Army hearing for the
past seven weeks No argu-
ment about that, but it isn't

Congressional Hearings Will Be Adopted Although Good Idea

House conferees should not

seen the noble expression on

And another one I'd like to

Teller, Carnegie and other
foundations; trying to find out
if they're full of Communists.
Did you read how Congress-
man Hays trapped the COM
mittee's research man, their
expert on communism? Well,
he read some stuff to tins cx-
pert and asked him if he could
identify the authors. The ex-
pert said he couldn't but that
it sounded like Communist
literature to him. I'd like to
have seen his face when Hays
explained he was reading

world power. The cells which
it organized with Moscow
trained agents in all parts of
the world were able to work
with impunity toward the over
throw of the constitutional
governments because they re-
ceived all necessary help from

The threat of communism

stem from the fact that people

the fact that the men in the
Kremlin have, especially since
the end of the last war. con-

major efforts: Cd SubverSive-
ness within the countries, such
as the United States, which
saved them from destruction
at the hands of the NaziS and
~ a relentless work to build
up their military, air and ma
val forces to a point where
they are far superior to those
of the slumbering free world.

Moose lnaugurate Operation CarIih
 For Easier Sunday

Palmer Moose Lodge No. 793, will cooperate in a nationwide Operation Easter Carlift', in- augurated by the National Moose Civic Affairs department, on Eas- ter Sunday, according to Lester J. Leek, civic affairs chairman of the local lodge.
 Operation Easter Carlift" is being offered by the Moose to all persons who, because of illness. disability or similar cause, might be unable to attend the church of their choice on Easter Sunday because of lack of transportation.
 National headquarters of the Moose at Mooseheart, H., the fra ternity's Child City, estimate that more than 10000 automobiles will be placed at the disposal of these persons in the more than 1,70O communities where there are Moose lodges.
 The civic affairs chairman of each lodge, with the help of his committee, is now contracting every clergyman in his commun- ity to determine how many par ishoners might require transpor- tation. If any local residents de- side a ride to and from church on Easter Sunday, they are urged to contact Ralph Moore or Eino Wirtanen either by telephone or letter at the local Moose lodge, Palmer, telephone number 10 after 400 pm. or 122J11 during the day.
 we believe many more persons would attend the church of their choice this Easter if only they had transportation" said Paul P. Schmitz, director general of the Moose. If this Operation Easter Carlift' is successful, the Moose might also inaugurate a Opera tion Christmas Carlight' or car lift for every Sunday of the year." he added.
 He explained that the Moose fraternity, whose precepts are based on the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man" wants to see the North American people brought close to God dur ing these troublesome times. If we Moose can help, in a small way, to bring this about, Opera tlon Easter carlift' will be well worth the effort" he said.
