| have introduced a bill which
returns to the States the power to
enforce their own laws dealing
with seditions or subversive acts.
1t in no way prevents Federal of

Subversive Activities Control Act.
My bill was made necessary by a
recent Supreme Court decision
that held that State statutes do not
apply because the Federal law pre-
cmpts the field.
Too few of us understand the
menace of the Communist con-
spiracy, nor are we aware of its
constant efforts to spread its evil
concepts. | am afraid that our
military might and the size of our
stockpile of atomic weapons gives
us false sense of security. The
spread of communism will not be
halted by arms alone.
Our problem stems from the fact

that rarely do you find person
and that includes government of
ficialS, teachers and religious
leaders-who has knowledge of
the true nature of communism. We
make a serious mistake when we
view communism just as an eco
nOmic school of thought. 1t is in
fact cult-a religion of promise.
Communism plans to rebuild the
world and its men through the APP
plication of our knowledge of
science. Scientific MarXism oper-

first, and underlying tenet is athe-
ism. On the atheistic doctrine is
built the second communist law

The third law" is economic deter

Man and Importance
of a Hobby
WRITER OF VERSE

George w. Wright, dean of
Wesley Junior College, was the
guest of the Smyrna Rotary Club
Thursday night, speaking on SER
vice to ones fellow men and also
of the Importance of a hobby to
take ones mind off the major
things of life. The service clubs
provide an interest in the lives
of business men, he said, who,
associating together plan to be
of service to their communities.
The speaker then told of his hob
by, the writing of verse, and read
various poems, one on "Feller" a
family pet, who was his two boys
best friend, and on the mourning
of the family at the death of the
dog. He also quoted from verse
written by him to various classes
on graduation at Smyrna High
School, where he was formerly
superintendent, and one to the
faculty expressing thanks for
their many contributions to his
success in the field of education.
A poem to Rotary climaxed the
address. Copies of the verse may
be obtained from Mr.. Wright, he
said in conclusion. DIR. c. j.
Prickett was chairman of the
program, and the response was
given by Reynolds Pratt. Edward
