From An Expert

Many editorials Communism and how to
fight it have been written, but probably none any
better than is found in the words of J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation, in his testimony before Senate Judiciary
Committee subcommittee investigating administra-
ton of internal security laws
Because Communism thrives on turmoil the
party is continuously attempting to exploit all grev-
ances-real or imagined - for it's own tactical pur-
poses 1t is, therefore, almost inevitable that, on
many issues, the party line will coincide with the
position Of many non-Communsts. The danger of
indiscriminately alleging that someone is Com
munist merely because his views on particular
subject happen to parallel the official party posi-
ton is obvious. The confusion which is thereby
created helps the Communists by diffusing the
forces of their opponents.
Unfortunately, there are those who make the
very mistake the Communists are so careful to
avoid These individuals concentrate on the mega
tive instead of the positive They are merely against
Communism without being for any positive meas
ures to eliminate the social political and economic
frlctlons which the Communists are exploiting
These persons would do we'll to recall a recent
lesson from history. Both Hitler and Mussolini were
against Communism. However, it was by what they
stood for, not against, that history has judged
them"
Those final lines will stand rereading Amer
leans engaged in negative campaigns, working .
to divide neighbor from neighbor should re-
member them especally.-Arizona Star (Tucson)

Suit Against
Cong. Diggs And
Father Dismissed

Detroit - A lawsuit accusing
Rep. Charles c. Diggs Jr. of
Detroit, Mich, and his father,
Charles, Sr. of mishandling in
surance company funds was dis
missed last week after a day
long series of legal maneuvers
in Circuit court. James E.
Frazer, the attorney who filed
the suit in behalf of Mrs. Ida

appeal to State Supreme court.
Mrs. Glover holds a policy with
the Detroit Metropolitan Mutual
Assurance Company, a firm
founded by Diggs, Sr. in 1912.
The suit was filed Sept. %,
Judge Joseph A. Moynihan, Jr.
who dismissed the case, based
his action on the ground that
only the state insurance COM
missioner has the authority to
start such a suit.

Chana- independence Or Freedom

Americans, whose history has been so different
from that OF most nations, may be perpexed by
the statement of Ghanaian, recently quoted in a
report from the one-tme Gold Coast colony in West
Africa I'VE have won our independence and lost
our freedom" the disillusioned citizen of Ghana
says.
This observation is an eloquent reminder that
the two are not necessarily synonymous. 1t is pro-
voked by the actions of President Kwame Nkru-
nah, partly American-educated, somewhat less
American-orented, former leader of Ghanas indie
pendence movement.
Mr.. Nkrumah is ruling his country with
the aid of jas for his political opponents, though
he himself came to power partly by the road of
political martyrdom which runs through the jail
yard. Cabinet changes have brought prof. ommun-
list leftwingers into positions heretofore held by
moderates and have resulted in the dropping of K
A. Gbedamah from the post of Finance Minister
This despite the fact that his international reputa-
ton helped attract needed foreign capital to
Ghana.
What is happening in Ghana is shaking the con-
fidence of many of that nations Western friends
1t could lead to the Withholding of American if not
British aid for the key industralizaton project on

the broad and lazy Volta Rivera huge dam and
hydroelectric plant to power Ghanaian aluminium
industry.
The British are specially anxious that there
shall be repetition there of the Aswan Dam cpl
sode that led to Egyptian naturalization of the
Suez Canal. They have sent some of their highest
officials to assure Mr. Nkrumah of the value they
place on Ghana's continued membership in the Com
monweath of Nations.
Meanwhile he has visited the Soviet Union, and
obtained pledges of financial aid from Iron Curtain
countries. And this naturally cannot escape UNI
favorable notice in Western countries and partic-
ularly in the United States Congress-
This development inevitably takes cold
war aspect It does so because it indicates how lack
of understanding of the parliamentary way Of life
exposes nations to loss of freedom within and to
consequent, perhaps unattended, support of inter-
national intrigue against other peoples freedom
and independence. The examples of Poland, Hun
gary East Germany the Baltic States appear not to
deter Mr.. Nkrumah from seeking closer ties with
the colonalists of Moscow.
The current drama in Ghana is being played
out against broader-than-national background. 1t
reminds many onlookers that progressive elements
in former colonial powers have sincerely tried to
transfer to peoples reaching for nationhood the
freedom which the older nations had won through
centuries of trial and error.
This freedom is something different from in
dependence. The independence that colony wins
is chiefly matter of national sovereignty which
may be only the right of the more ruthless elements
in the new nation to rule the rest of it. Sometimes
even this brings increase of individual freedom;
sometimes the reverse.
And if the reverse this fact does not long re-
main beyond the legitimate concern Of free nations
for their own peoples liberties and security.

Police Dogs And Future Race
Relations Here

There can be little doubt in the minds of peo-
pie of intelligence, despite the NAACP backed boy
colt, and the obstructive picketing and demonstra-
ton at the Fairgrounds on opening day. that the
use of the police dogs the chief for the
great decline in attendance at the Mississippi Ne
gro State Fair.
Despite the fact that the use of trained dogs
in dispersal of large and unruly crowds have been
adopted by the police in many of the major cities
of the United States, and of the world, there is
no way to allay the antipathy of Negroes toward
police dogs.
The history of the Negro slave hunted down by
packs of bloodhounds; and the hunting down of
Negroes since slavery for both real and alleged
crimes, furnishes the basis for both antpathy and
resentment of police dogs among Negroes that ap-
pears to us readily understood by even those with
the slightest knowledge of Negro history
Supported by the historic impact that is the
belief universal among Negroes in Jackson, how
ever untrue such belief may be- that the police
dogs have been added to the Jackson police force
primarily and only for against Negroes.
The above premiss considered, we are of the
opinion that of the best steps than be made
toward improvement of future race relations in
Jackson in these troubled and tension packed times
is for the police department to discontinue the use
of police dogs

Pioneering For
Cos New n eed:
SchnitzIer

Windsor, vt. - A pioneer
ing" approach to union organic
ing, keyed to modern conditions,
was urged by AFL-CIO Sec.-
Treas. William F. Schnitzler in
an address to the 9Th annual
convention of the Vermont
AFL-CIO Labor Council.
Schnitzler said the increasing
number of representation petit
tons filed with the National La
Dor Relations Board and the
greater percentage of election
victories by unions gives a
"clear indication that the work
ers of America are ready for or
ganization."
bership in our unions possible
"But we have not as yet
spread our efforts into the or
ganizational field to make men,
for many of them," he declared.
Agreeing that organizing is a
more difficult task today than it
was 20 years ago, Schnitzler
asked:
"Who is there who would say
that it is harder than it was 80
or 40 years ago? 1t is not
as difficult as it was during the
days when this labor movement
was built"
With the larger memberships
and greater resources available
today, he suggested, modern
trade unions should be able to
accomplish much more in the
organizing field than the pio-
neers of the labor movement.
One trouble, he said, is that
"we've been tied too much to
the past. We've forgotten to
build toward the future and set
the kind of goals the member
ship is talking about, but which
we have not as yet translated
into action"
Goals For SOS
He urged the delegates in
their organizing efforts to de-
part from the old technique of
citing such labor victories of
the past as the 8-hour day, free
public schools, minimum wages,
social security, etc.
These benefits, Schnitzler
noted, are enjoyed by non-mem-
bers, too, "and its's pretty hard
to say to someone that you
ought to come in with US be-
cause we made it possible for
you"
He called instead for "pio-
neering of the COS"
otis up to you now to take

Their up the ladder toward the
goals we've set for ourselves,
he declared.
The convention chose John
Lawson of Barre, secretary
treasurer of the Stone & Allied
Products Workers, as new state
president. James R. Cross was
reelected to his 18th term as
council secretary treasurer.
Both were unopposed.

The subcommittee, investigat-

conclusions:
- An eight-hour call-in pay
provision has been a part of
the labor agreement between
the lam and Boeing at all lam
locations for more than 20 years
and does not apply to missile
sites alone.
- The contract clause, giving

pay at this base rate, has "ade-
