THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
As the international situation
continued tense and critical and
jths "cold war" between Russia,
| and the United States became
warmer and wanner, the fight
against communism in govern
ment in industry and in labor
tensed in like proportion, j
Edward P. Morgan, former
?Mcutive assistant to J. Edgai
Hoover, director of the federal
bureau of investigation, told a
Washington audience that "it the
United Statea found itself at war
tomorrow, it would discover
members and agents at the com
munist party have infiltrated in
to.key industries to such an ex
tent that they could sabotage the
nation's defense effort before it
lot under way." And he singled
out the transportation and condi
tions industries particu
stands taken by various or
itions on the communist
in this country bore out Mr.
s statement that "corn
has grown in direct pro
portion to the lack of knowledge
of the ordinary people as to
what communism really is."
So James P. O'Neil, national
commander of the American
Legion, would outlaw commun
ists by law. But the national
council of the Arts, Sciences and
Professions would, on the other
hand, "abolish" the house un
American activities committee.
And the League of Women Vot
ers, speaking through Miss Anna
Lord Strauss, its president, said:
"While such happenings (loyalty
probes) are disconcerting and
alarming, we must not lose our
perspective. We must see to it
that our leaders take only such
steps as are necessary for pre
serving our country. Otherwise
we may find that by losing our
heads we have lost our Uberties
as well."
Leon Henderson, speaking for
Americans for Democratic Act
ion, an anti-communist political
organization, said: "Recent
events demonstrate that anti
communism frequently cloaks
shocking invasions of personal
rights. Republican - controlled
(committees in congress have
employed this disguise, violated
basic American concepts of fair
play and perfected their smear
and-run technique for political
use in the campaign."
And the small business ad
visory committee of the depart
ment of commerce urged secre
tary of commerce Charles Saw
Iyer to tell business management
(of1 its "direct responsibility in
keeping employees educated in

Into thia maze of confused j
thinking on the communist issue
the voic*, of Gen. De wight Eisen
hower, taking over as president
of Columbia University, pene
trated with the statement that the]
facts of communism would be]
taught at Columbia.
"When the truth both of free
dom and statism (communism) m
held before the eyes of students,
who can doubt the choice of fu
ture Americans?" General Eisen
hower said. He declared that
Columbia would strive to "deve
lop rebels in the American tra
dition . . . informed intelligent
rebels against ignorance and
imperfection and prejudice.
"If we tm adults attempt to
hide from the young the facta in
this world struggle not only will
we be making a futile attempt to
establish an intellectual iron cur
tain, but we will arouse lively!
suspicion that statism possesses
virtues whose persuasive effort
we desperately fear."
But here in Washington there
appeared to be no cohesive uni
ted plan of action either in or
out of government, or by either
Republicans or Democrats on!
just how to combat the com
munist issue, which all agree is
evil.
Agent Gives Advice
On Barn Fire Perils
A four-point program to save
barns from destruction by fire
during November was suggested
here this week by L. E. Tuckwil
ler, county agent for the State
College Extension Service.
Mr. Tuck wilier said records of
the Fire Protection Institute
show that approximately 1,500
barns in the United States wertl
either damaged or destroyed by I
fire in November, 1947. Losses!
are unusually heavy during fall!
and winter months because sol
many harvest crops and so muchl
valuable farm machinery arel
stored in barns at that season of
the year.
"If farmers will take a few
simple precautions and install
approved fire extinguishers,
barns in this county will be com-l
paratively safe from fire during
the winter months," the county
agent declared.
He said barn , losses from fire
can be reduced 80 to 90 per cent
through the following program: I
1. Keep barns clean. Make sure
rubbish is not allowed to accu
mulate in or around buildings.
2. Check all electrical wiring.
See that switches operate pro
perly and no wiring has been
stripped of its insulation.
, 3. Have adequate fire protec
tion. Most fires start small. If
approved lire extinguishers are
handy, fires can be put out
quickly, before they get out of
control.
4. Store flammable liquids in
safe areas. Make certain that
flammable liquid is placed in
sealed containers and out of
reach of children and animals.
"GOOD SHOT" COSTS $50
Pine Grove, Pa. ? It was a good
?.hot that got two birds for
Charles E. Levan, 25, recently
but it wasn't a luck shot. The
jame Warden saw Levan get
'.wo pheasants with one shot but,
as pheasant shooting was out-of
season, it cost Levan $50.

Heavy Looses Cited I
In Grain Storage'
Information on control of stor
ed grain inject*, which cauat
heavy losses on North Carolina
farms tach year, is given in a
new publication just issued by
the State College Extension Ser
vice. It i/ Extension Circular No.
325, "Control Stored Grain In
sects."
The circular, prepared by
James T. Conner, Jr., in charge
of extension entomology, is con
sidered particularly timely be
cause of the bumper corn crop
which farmers in the State are
harvesting this fall.
Several species of insects are
responsible for damage to stored
grain, Mr. Conner says. For
tunately, he adds, the same treat
ment, if properly employed, will
control all of them
The entomologist recommends
first that old grain in the crib be
cleaned up by means of fumiga
tion, or that it be removed from
bins where the new crop will be
stored. Then, as soon as the new
grain is put into this clean stor
age, it should be fumigated
A number of chemicals may be
used. From the standpoint of the
farmer, says Mr. Conner, the
most practical fumigant is either
a mixture of three parts ethylene
dichloride and one part carbon
disulfide and carbon tetrachlo
ride and one part carbon disul
fide and carbon tetrachloride, or
a mixture of one part carbon
disulfide and four parts carbon
tetrachloride.
The dosage will vary accord
ing to temperature and tightness
of the bin.
Further details are given in the
new circular, copies of which
|may oe obtained free from the
'local county agent or by writing
to the Agricultural Editor, State
College Station, Raleigh.
SURVIVES SO- FOOT FALL
Detroit ? Alfred Mason, 50, sur
vived an 80-foot fall to the bot
ton of a silo at the U. S. Cypson
Company plant. Mason, with a
companion, was repairing a
crane at the top of the silo when
Mason slipped and plunged to
the base of the structure. Since
the crane was not operating and
there was no opening at the base,
Gori, Mason's companion, called
for help. A policeman was low
ered from the top of the silo by
ropes. He fashioned a crude
harness for the injured man and
both were pulled up. Mason was
taken to a hospital with a frac
tured leg and internal injuries.
