Following is the summary of
the paper that appeared in the
program for the congress:
During the course of the
eighteenth century the social
and Intellectual climate of the
western world underwent a COM

Best Books for Children. The
book called Fife and Fandango

The story is drawn from the
marriage of fifteen-year-old
Spanish girl and a young Brit
iSh m a or of approximately
twenty years. The story begins
during the Peninsular War in
Spain zone of the Napoleonic
Wars and continues to the Bat
tie Of Waterloo.
DR.. Sprague has previously
had two other books included in

were A Kingdom To Win and
Dance for Dime and a Star.

At the end of debate. a second

votes on the amendments if any,
and then Immediately votes upon

After passage. the bill goes to
the enrolling clerk. From this point
it is no longer called bill. but is
termed an act, and is then delivered
to the Senate.
The President of the Senate re-
fers the act to appropriate standing
committees. and basically it goes
through the same process in the
Senate.
If the act is amended inthe Sen
ate and the amendments are not
favorable to the House. a confer
ence is arranged to work out the
differences. When agreed upon it
is submitted to the House and Sen
ate for approval. When passed by
both bodies, the act is enrolled
with all of the amendments agreed
to.
All acts are first signed by the
Speaker of the House and then by

then returned to the subcommittee
of the House for present ation to the

3. Over riding a Presidential

Speaker Describes
Communism in US
By DANIEL PEACHES

On Thursday February 7. Karl
Prussion spoke to the Arizona State
College students on Communism
in America.
MIR. PruSSion indie ated that he
was a member of the American
Communist Party for 26 years.
For the last IL years. he worked
with theF. B. l. as counterspy. MIR.
Prussion pointed out that the
unconcern or indifference to COM
munism accounted for the success
of communism in this country. He
explained communist str ategy.
which he said has been very sue
cesful. MIR. Prussion stated that the
Communist Party is not apolitical
party but military maneuver. He
said the commmist sts have no
morals. no respect for individual
freedom. they are liars, full of
hatreds and provide no justice in
their dealings
Mr.. Prussion stated that COM
munism strikes at every depart
ment or institution of our society:
churches, schools PTAs political
parties, unions, law agencies. and
many other civic groups. 1t was
alarming to realize that many of
our important civic groups have a
communist leader at the top. 1t was
more alarming to realize that the
communists are using the xisting
facilities to their advant age. very
successfully.
1t was disappointing to realize
that many of our influential schol-
ars. educ Gators, and Clergymen are
completely blind to the goals of
communism. BY their Indifference
or their assumption that the COM
munists have political freedom as
a party. they actually helped the
communists in their ruthless acti-
vities in America. To success Sfully
defend ourselves, we must change
our attitudes completely. he said.
MIR. Prussion pointed out that
Cuba is now considered the second
largest military power in our Wes-
tern Hemisphere. 1t was the fail
ure of our government to realize
