C. f under the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879. Every afternoon, Monday through Friday Charlie Guy ■ With the passing ot Attorney Charles Lee Guy. Sr., better known throughout the State simply as just "Char lie Guy,” this section has lost a capable attorney, a useful citizen and one of our most lovable public figures. Death came to the esteemed Dunn attorney early this morning after several years of illness. EVfip during these last years of struggle against death, he fought witn the same determination and tenacity for which he was noted in the courtroom. : Several times, doctors gave up all hope for him, only to have him show up in the courtroom a month or’so later fightihg as vigorously as any young lawyer in the court house. Charlie Guy was always a scrapper and it was his fighting courtroom spirit which built up for him during earlier years one of the largest practices of any trial at torney- When the freedom of the life of a defendant was at stake, he'd fight fast and furiously and the others law yers would always advise, “Don’t ever count Mr. Charlie out-r-the jury haasn’t come in yet.” Both in his profession and outside. Charlie Guy en joyed a great host of friends in every walk of life. He was as popular with the lawyers he opposed in the courtroom as with other citizens and always enjoyed their admiration and respect. ‘ In affairs of the community, he could always be counted on to do his part and was one of the first to re spond whenever he found a friend in need. The imposing figure of Charlie Guy in the court room, his keen wit and his delightful personality, will never be forgotten in this section. Another real old-timer has gone to his reward.

The number of Communists in the in dustry is comparatively small, but they are an effective, well-entren ched element who know how to fight. And they are now fighting for a livelihood. The bulk of those involved in the present excitement, which In cludes a $1,000,000 libel suit and a shameless money settlement with some of the Hollywood Ten, are men and women who had a wonder ful time posing as progressives And liberals when it was popular to be a pal of Uncle Joe, and who now want to pose as conservatives when it is perilous to he pro-Russian. Most of them were insincere then and they are insincere now. Most of them are intellecual wisps in the wind, without purpose other than to be popular and to seem to be intelligent an dto make a good sized income. Most of them could not be pro-Marxist or anti-Marxist because they have not the slightest idea of what either term means. I have the conviction that the so- SUled greatest minds in Holly wood, who are often* described as possessing little short of genius, could not pass a written examina tion on philosophic or economic subjects which they include in their repertoire. The settlements with Hollywood Ten started last summer when these men, who had established their own position before the House Committee on Un-American Act ivities, sued under their contracts. Most American, were angered by their conduct, which included jail sentences for contempt. The top men of the industry met at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and decided not to employ those who were in contempt of Congress —a perfectly sound and American decision. Those dismis sed thereupon sued under the terms of their contracts for damages. As s usual in such matters, the law yers got into the situation and , some of them expressed the view , that the meeting of the top men in the industry at the Waldorf might , he interpreted as a conspiracy, , Conspiracy against whom a gainst avowed Communists? Against tJro.se who defied Congress and mere ; sent to jail In contempt? Against , men and women who had had their day in court and did not take It? Such legalistic advice would be contemptible were it not that law- ( yers these days tell one off the record, of course that no one can know how a New Deal judge Is gong to decide a case. No cow ardice can be as profound as the legalistic, because lawyers know the worst about their own profes son and about judges. Just ordinary Americans, like you and me. take chances every day that this is still a free country and that Americans can meet to dis cuss the problems of their country and condemn its enemies. I attend such' meetings all the time and have not yet been sued for a con spiracy against Joe Stalin. However, some Hollywood crvi panies and their lawyers think otherwise. Last summer they sctight advice, and one of the advisers told them not to make Communists rich by letting, them win huge sums in court, as though their cases were sewed up. Result: According to “Variety”: “Checks turned over to attorney Robert W. Kenny, acting for the Plaintiffs, ended two suits the breach of contract actions brought .against Metro by Lester Cole and Dalton Trumbo. It also ended par ticipation bv Metro. WB (Warner Brothers). Universal and Columba Is the general conspiracy action brought against the studios by Al bert Maltz and the other member of the group .... ” This settlement clears no one of anything. It simply means that the companies were advised by their lawyers not to stand trial. It does not mean that the plaintiffs or the defendants are not at fault. Hollywood has to face this pro blem constructively. Most actors, writers, directors, producers and even executives are not Commu nists. Many have made stupid re cords for themselves to show off; some were actually liberals and progressives. Most are just in the mummer business. The few hundred Communists in show business are enemies of America and nobody needs to spend bis money supporting enemies. And many Americans win not spend or thoee who euqtfey them. The constructive job is to isolate the communists so that honest men may know them for what they never be d<?ne as long as lawyers treat Stalin’s QM^rscyagain* J ■ v- - t THE DAILY RECORD. DUNN, N.

WASHINGTON. Down in New Orleans two big shots of the un derworld have been in tax trouble but. under the present rules of the Internal Revenu Bureau, not one word can be said about it. The two men Carlos Marcello and Silvestro Carollo. the first having served time in Atlanta for selling marijuana; the second, a leader of the Mafia having been ordered deported. Nevertheless, both are protected by official secrecy as far as their tax delin quency is concerned. What the Internal Revenue Bureau states is that if an/ details of tax delinquency or tax frauds are revealed to the press or public, that official would be subject to to SIO,OOO fine and a term in jail. This strict secrecy is one reason why tax influence has been so rife in Washington. It is also one thing the King Committee on tax frauds should study this week. Here is how the secrecy order works in the case of the New Orleans gangsters Carlos Marcello of Jefferson Parish, just New, OrleaM, was rated by the Kefauver fC6ih mittee as the No. 1 bad man of the area He is the associate oi Dandy Phil Kastel. the partner ot Frangie Costello, got a year and a day for peddling marijuana, and had a tax lien slapped on him and his brother Vincent for $76,800. ONLY WASHINGTON KNOWS This tax Uen was filed by the Internal Revenue collector on may 19. 1939, in order to protect the government in its collection of taxes: but there is no record as to how that lien was settled. The public has no way of knowing whether Marcello’s taxes were paid in full, corn-promised or dropped. Local deputy collector John J. Sehrt, when queried by the New Orleans item, said he did not know. The records, he said, had been destroyed; besides, these cases are settled in Washington. Against the other New Orleans gangster, Silvestro Carollo. four tax liens were filed in 1945, totalling 862,024. All were . marked dis charged on March 28, 1846. Carollo has a lot of political in fluence. Through he served three stretches for bootlegging, narcotics, and attempted murder, he always got out. and, in the case of the • . ,/s . -X 1 ’ sk : &&&%s•' : * :-): \ ’ murder rap, received a full pardon from the governor of Louisiana. Later. 1936, when he went back to jail on a narcotics charge, the federal government decided he was an undesirable citizen and ordered him to Italy, only to have Lousi ana’s back-slapping congressman Jimmy Morrison come to his rescue with several private bills to keep him in the U S. A. Despite congressman Morrison, Carollo’s record was too black, and he was deported. April 30. 1947, only to be picked up on July 4. 1850, right back in New Orleans. He had been ordered back by “Lucky” Luciano, the world's top narcotics smuggler. In Carollo’s case, local tax of ficials also did not know whether tax liens had been paid in full or “adjusted.” All such matters, it was explained, were handled in Washington. Accordingly, this columnist call ed on deputy commissioner of In ternal Revenue Alvin Cross. In charge of accounts and collections. Mr. Cross has been in Internal Revenue for some 20 years and has a good record as a conscientious public servant. I explained the situation of the two New Orleans gangsters and asked whether their taxes hgd been paid in full or I could not tell you,” Mr Cross replied. “Under section 55 (E> it is a penitentiary offense for anyone to give out information regarding taxes ” “But these men have served in Atlanta and one has been ordered deported,” I remonstrated. “It doesn’t make any difference.” replied Mr. Cross, “the law is clear against publishing tax returns or tax settlejnents." “These are two men who have had a lot of political influence.” 1 continued. “How can the public as certain whether they used their influence to adjust their taxes rather than pay up in full?” Mr. Cross repeated that under the law passed by Congress there was just no way it could be done. SECRETARY OF TREASURY RULES r "Who makes the final decision as to whether an unpaid tax is to be paid in full or compromised?” I asked. “The secretary of the treasury," replied Mr. Cross. “It cannot be made by the local collector, nor is it made in this bureau.

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: A woman cannot love a man wtwm she cannot respect and rely upon. This is instinctive or basic in her, nature. And marriage without love is always a failure, one way or another. We had over 800.000 di vorces In this country last year, and probably an equal (or greater) number of couples living in hell, just short of divorce. During the last war nearly two million men in this country were disqualified for military service owing to psychiatric disorders. An other 600,000 were discharged for the same cause; and at least a half million more attempted to evade the draft and shirk all citi zen responsibility. These victims of emotional immaturity, so vividly described in “Their Mothers’ Sons" by Dr. Edward A. Strecker, would be very poor husband-material. One of the most pernicious prob lems on the social scene has to do with the fact that many men are more passive than aggressive (L e., masculine) in their relationship to women. This is due in part to woman's dominant role in a boy’s early experience, at home and in school. But as men find themselves dependent upon' women in later life In meeting responsibilities, they tend to regent the condition, se cretly or openly. And this attitude is often present in men who seem on the surface to be extremely strong characters. BOTH SEXES IRKED BY CHANGED ROLES Moreover, it Is frustrating to nearly all wojnen to be forced to take the Initiative, socially or other, wise, lh relation to men. They too suffer in that situation and mani fest hostility in various ways, often unconsciously. This displacement at the core of marriage Is productive 1 of much hidden conflict, and tends to perpetuate itself in the lives of progeny. , No greater service could be done the Institution of marriage than to teach our young—who are to decide Whether, or whom, to marry—t*at conjugal felicity and the well being of children depend largely upon the, degree of real feminity and real masculinity and emotional maturity in parents. Girls must be taught true woman - Uft*? «nd men. true mahUnma. c^^***^ with a rebUy manly father; and a »w»*!rty > ii(nUi«f ,B with a veritably " expended via speech. Indeed, that’s one reason why your stage fright as a public speak er subsides after the first few min utes of orating. The action of your vocal cords drains off your emo tion. “I can MAKE you kiss me,” ma ny a young fellow may challeng ing declare. “No, you can’t” says the Inex perienced girl. But this is interpreted by the male as a dare. It is called "come on" behavior. ’ If you are parked in a desolate spot with an unscrupulous man. you better not dare him to make further advances. You girls must learn how to extricate yourselves unharmed. So "yes" the man along. “Sure you could make ANY girl kiss you,” you should smile sweet ly and exclaim, “for with your powerful muscles and broad shoul ders you could whip Joe Louis, I’m sure. You must have been an ath lete in High school (or college) weren't you?” QUIZ YOUR MAN Notice the above answer. You girls better memorize it, as hun dreds of my coed students at Northwestern have done. That's what saved Thelma from probable rape on that lonely road with a half drunken escort. If you girls will keep talking, mixing judicious praise with your chatter and slipping in enough questions to keep the boy friend talking, you can dominate any sit uation. But you must not rely on spur of-the-mlnute ideas. Plan your strategy In advance. Memorize your technique the way a star sales man memorizes his surefire sales talk. Pick honorable men to start with. Avoid drinkers. But if you do get in a dangerous situation, talk and talk fast. Quiz your man until he drains off his emotions via speech.

Nor mal sexuality is absent or greatly unpaired in this type of man or woman; and being psychologically immature, without real mate love, they exhibit either a morbid pos sessive attachment or a rejecting attitude .in relation to children, thus predisposing the latter to emo -1 tional disorders too. SAYS AWARENESS WOULD TURN TJDE As women have gained social and economic freedom, their inherent masculine component has Increas ed, and their femininity has de creased proportionately. Their con sequent drift Is to marry men of effeminate stripe, even latent ho mosexuals. The offspring of these maladjusted patients are malad justed In turn, which accounts for the increasing number of “neuter’ gender” men and women In our society, who try marriage with neg ative results to themselves and the community. This vicious cycle can be broken 1 only by understanding and remedying, the hidden forces at work therein. # Girls contemplating marriage are always anxious to choose the right man, which is instinctive, as the/ are potential bearers of the race. They should therefore be fully In formed concerning the essential elements of real masculinity in fi husband and father. And until now their information on this score has been very inadequate, for lack of sound knowledge, and due to lack of parental insight into the-cause of domestic strife.
