Underground
Plans Linked
To Reds in U. 5.
BY the Associated Press

The House Committee on I'm
American Activities said yester-
day it had obtained documents
showing that the Communist
Party in the United States plans
to transfer its actual party power
underground.
The committee said the Reds
plan to strengthen their legal"
party organization as a facade,
but put actual control of Com
munist activities in the hands Of
little-known undercover leaders.
Known Communist Party men,
bers will be kept in the open
party according to the plans. the
committee said. Those not iden-
tined openly as Communists will
staff the underground apparatus.
To Have Press
The plans call for creation Of
q complete underground press
for publication of concealed Com
munist literature.
1.-THE overall purpose is to
disassociate the party from lille
gal activities so that it can pur-
sue the new peaceful detectives
Of the Communist conspiracy, !"
the committee said.
AT the same time, the under
ground apparatus will continue
the party's program of subver-
sion to destroy the U. S. Gov
eminent"
The Committee said the Com
munist strategy is contained in
q report entitled THE Com
munist Conspiracy" which the
group is publishing soon. The
report was described as a COL
lection of source material on the
strategy and tactics of world
communism from the time of
the Soviet revolution in 1917.
Planned in 1905
The particular document on
gums uAlOCl S1Oullu, VIC NOlAALLAlO~
tee said, was drawn up in the
1930s in preparation for action
II the time came.
The party now is putting the
plan into effect, the committee
said.
In a foreword to the report
being published, Representative
Walter, Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania. Committee Chairman,
said "a staudy of these docu-
ments should be sufficient to
convince even the most rabid
Communist sympathizer of the
spurious, fraudulent character of
the system whose detectives he
furtherS."

court judges.
The majority decision ruled that
the beneficiaries of Girard's charity
"were not determined by the state
of Pennsylvania, the city of Phila-
delphia, nor the court, but solely
by Girard himself in the exercise
of his undoubted right to dispose
of his property by will, and to say
who should enjoy it's benefits"
The court pointed out the case
was entirely different from So
called "desegregation cases" in the
United States Supreme Court.
The federal court cases related
to public schools and colleges, and
the Girard case is purely private

structed and since maintained for

Public Schooling: American Concept

By proclamation of the President the period No

cation Week. 1t is to be week of dedication to educa
ton and to the efforts and achievements of teachers and
of school and college administrators
Americans have been made intensely aware that
there is school problem They familiar also with
side of it: that there is critical shortage of cassrooms
and teachers in the face of the increasing number of
young people to be "schooled" But they be
completely convinced of the validity of these needs
until they convinced of the validity of the demands
they make of their educational system.
This is fitting occasion for Americans to ask
themselves questions:
Are they trying to school too many? Are they try
to give this many too much? Does this much for
many preclude the better for all few?
In way these questions academic. For the
American people long ago decided they would provide

secondary and higher education available matter of
social responsibility well as individual choice and

compromising the overall average of thoroughness.
This has been stupendous commitment And it's
worth should not be Judged solely by the fact that the
average European pupil undoubtedly is far thor
oughly schooled in certain knowledge and slis than
is the average American. Nor should this lag in thor
oughness be dismissed nconsequential
