Party-"What 1t Is and How 1t
Works"
In support of its argument,
the subcommittee, headed by
Senator EaStland, Democrat of
Mississippi, pointed out that
New York State. which ranks
second in per capita income and
PEI capita school expenditures.
has more Communists than any
other State-approximately half
Of the total party membership.
California and Illinois. ranking
second and third in numbers of
Communist Party members, also
are among the leaders in indi-
vidual income and school ex-
penditures.
Mississippi Has Fewest
On the other hand. the East
land subcommittee said. Missis-
sippi. with the lowest per capita
income. is lowest in the scale Of
Communist Party membership
In the last membership break
down made public by the FBI.
Mississippi had only one Com
muniSt.
The misery theory Of COM
munism does not iibe with these
figures, the handbook said, nor
with the fact that such wealthy
persons as Frederick Vanderbilt
Field. and prominent members
of the Hollywood film colony,
have been found to be members
of the Communist Party"
What are the main reasons
Americans become Communists?
Among the reasons given by
the subcommittee are maladjust-
ment, neurosis, adolescence,
craving for companionship and
excitement, rebellion against
convention.
"Maladjusted individuals feel
themselves isolated" the report
says. Communist theory places
the blame for such maladjust-
mcnts upon society rather than
the individual which is a COM
forting thought for the indivi-
dual concerned :"
Appeal for Adolescents
THE neurotic person is baff1ed
by the complexities of modern
society. The Marxist-Leninist
formula offers a ready made an
swer 70 all questions.
AS for the adolescent, the sub
committee said, Gin a sense he is
maladjuSted. The Communist
movement, for it's own insidious
purpose, offers him a circle in
which he believes he will be
taken seriously. BY dint OF

ISRAEL RANKS THIRD IN
AMERICAN FOREIGN
INVESTMENTS

JERUSALEM, (ZINS) - Israel
ranks third in American foreign
investments and should be very
happy about it," declared Finance
Minister Levi Eshkol in the Knes-
set. During the past five years
America has invested $72,O00,O00
in Japan; in South Africa, $780,
100000; and $4,000, 900 in Israel"
Eshkol enumerated.
The Finance Minister revealed
these figures while outlining his
proposals for an amendment to
the investment law, providing
that concessions for foreign in
vestors would no longer depend
on special administrative deci-
sions, but would be automatic.
Other liberalizations suggested by
Mr.. Eshkol were limitation of in
come taxes on foreign investments
to $50, permission to take out OF
the country earnings in excess OF
1919 of annual profits and regu-
lations to exempt investors from
duty on goods and machinery i'm
ported for approved enterprises.

not if the Hall of Fame is to con-

tached to it. Without question,
Hank ranks among basebalTs
greats, and it is only too bad that
le hasn't made it sooner.
In connection with the Hall of
Fame, there is mounting pressure
:or a change in the voting regula-
ions. AS it stands now, a player
must be out of active duty for at
least five years before he can be
considered eligible for being in
the Hall of Fame. Many have OBJ
jected to this, since it excludes
some top athletes who should be
up there. It appears likely that
some change on this point will
be adopted
Ruffy Silverstein, the wrestler
who many of you have seen on
w, used to be a plumber. He's
now doing very we'll in the wrest-
ling game. Ruffy, whose real
name is Ralph Simcha Silverstein,
is from Chicago.
He has taken a special interest
recently in teaching the art of
wrestling to blind young men. He
has found that wrestling gives
people without eyesight conf

The recent voting for additions
to baseball's Hall Of Fame makes
it look as though Hank Greenberg
is a cinch to be voted in on the
balIotting next time.
AS was anticipated by most col
umnists, Hank didn't make it this
year. However, Hank topped the
list of those who weren't selected,
and his total votes were increased
over the tally on the previous vote
taken among the nations sports
Scribes.
Hank got 157 votes. There were
only three other players who
broke the 100 mark. Thus it looks
as if the writers will finally get
around one of these days in the
near future to putting the name
of Hank Greenberg up where it
belongs-a mong the baseball
players in the Hall of Fame.
Of course, there can always be
some switches to upset the apple
cart. However, it is difficult to
see how the writers can any long
er avoid naming Hank, at least,

Take Good Care
OF Skin Durinu
Summer Months

Almost Immediately when you
hear someone talking about "sav-
ing your skin" during the summer,
you think of sunburn. But actually
sunburn is but one of the hazards
to beware of during the long sum-
mer season.
VacationerS. picnickers an d
stay-at-homers, as well. need to
take note. according to Ruth Cur
rent, state home demonstration
agent. Poison ivy, oak and sumac
are currently in season. just a
careless step through the field or
woods can land you in bed with a
good case of poison ivy. When you
go for walk, keep your legs COW
cred and be on the lookout for
these poisonous plants. It's a pref
ty good idea, too. to take a warm
shower with plenty of soap after
you come in from one of those out
ings. Such preventative measures
can save you a good deal of agony
later.
Insects are another skin buga-
boo. If you plan picnic. be sure
to take along reliable repellent to
ward off these "man-eating in
truderS.
Sunburn. of course, always takes
heavy toll during the summer
months, says Miss Current. If
you're a first timer at the beach,
lake. or even in your own back
yard. take it easy Remember that
burn rarely shows up until after
you've gone in to cool off. And
remember, too. that the suns rays
can be very penetrating even on
the cloudiest days. Once you've
been well-burned, there's little you
can do to bring relief. In the case
of painful sunburn, an ounce of
prevention is worth far more than
the proverbial pound of cure.

Reader May Pay
More For Newspapers
Under Proposed Law

RALEIGH - The proposed 3
per cent sales tax on newspaper
circulation in the House tax bill is
consumer tax and not a news
paper tax, w. E. Horner, of San
ford, legislative chairman for the
North Carolina Press Assn, said
today.
The net effect of the proposal,
he said, is to add the sales tax
to persons newspaper supscrip-
ton whether bought in person or
delivered by carrier or by mail.
Horner explained this is the
way the tax would work on and
after July /, the effective date:
When person pays for a mail
subscription, the newspaper
would calculate a per cent tax
and the subscriber would pay both !;
subscriber by carrier boy or
motor route would pay per cent
tax on the total amount of his
subscription, whether it was week.
ly or monthly and the carrier boy
or motor route man would in ef-
feet turn over his tax collections
to his paper for remission to the
State Department of Revenue.
Horner said the pricipal OBJ
lection to the proposal hinged
around the fact it would make tax
collectors out of the between g.
500 and 5000 individuals who re-
tail papers, these being for the
most part small boys between IL
and 16 years old.
