Perhaps it took the dedication
celebration at RED Hill recently
to bring many to the reali-
cation that Patrick Henry is late
ly coming into his own and as
one of Americas inner circle ii
all time greats. Eulogies extolling
his greatness have too often been
confined to his pleading of the
Parsons Cause, his immortal
speech in old st. Johns Church.
his frequent oratorical brilIiance
while serving in the House Of
Burgesses and as five times Gov
ernor of Virginia.
| What is not commonly known
is that Patrick Henry perhaps
even more than George Mason, is
responsible for the Bill OF Rights.
This tracing into history has been
explored well by DR.. Robert Dou-
that Meade's definitive history of
Henry and his time in a two vol
ulne biography. the first issue to
be released in August So little is
known about the man now; SO
much will be known after Dr..
Meade's books appear. Critics say
they will appear favorably with
DR.. Douglas Freeman's biography
Of Lee in their scholarship. re-
search, and lucid manner.
The Red Hill" shrine will be
enhanced further eventually by
the construction of a home for
hayward boys at the last home
and burial place Of Henry. The
Patrick Henry Boys Plantation
bids in time to become a real liv-
ing memorial to once wayward
boy who rose out OF sheer de-
termination and individual genius
to take his place with Washing
ton. with Jefferson and with Lee
IN the eternal shrines Of Ameri-
can history.

Communist Infiltration


4 TTORNEY-GENERAL Brownell has
Just found out how the communists
work AT least the first public statement
we have seen from him was made last week
in report to the President He said the
Communist party now appears to be con-
eentrating it's efforts on state and local
organizations instead of on national front
organizations as in the past Red aims in
clude the infiltration of legitimate organ
izatons including fraterna, charitable
and civic, he reported
Mr. Brownel said his department cur
rently is delaying cases against some or
PLANTATIONS not registered as Communist
fronts to avoid disclosing too much about
the penetration of government agents into
Communist party affairs. Tempo of devel
oping evidence against these groups is con-
tnuing and action will begin in the coming
fiscal year following July /.
Mr.. Brownel makes public what we have
thought for some time. America is over
organized. Practically every citizen be-
longs to one or a score OF organizations,

Ell by a few people, some of whom have
ideas paralleling communist ideas These
policies by devious means are handed down
to the state and then the local groups. Just
recently we saw responsive reading in
celebration of religious event which was
sent out by a national organization for use
locally. There was much subtle, secular
propaganda, and practically nothing of a
religious nature This is but one isolated
example of how local groups are being
used to propagandise honest, patriotic
Americans into way Of life completely
foreign to their own principles and pre-
cepts.
Mr.. Brownell puts US on notice We, in
the 'grass-roots" may do we'll to heed his
warning and be watchfu of what is being
said and distributed to us in the way of
propaganda. Let's not seek communist
behind every BUSH, but let's use our own
intelligence in separating the truth from
the propaganda. All the mediums Of COM
munication are being used-newspapers,
magazines, radio and television,
and religious
The matter is all the more important be-
cause Mr.. Brownell has made the "discov-
cry and issued the warning.
