control of most of the country
following fierce fighting.
The American forces ordered to
Viet Nam are primarily part of

VIEWPOINT
BY JESSE HELMS
Vice President, WRAL-TV
Cumberland County Representative Ike O'Hanlor
favored us with a copy of a letter he wrote a few days
ago to the editor of the college newspaper at Wake Forest,
of which Mr. O'Hanlon is an alumnus. As college editors
will, the editor of The Old Gold and Black had become
overwhelmed by his own importance, and had denounced
the several former Wake Forest men now serving in the
legislature for supporting the communist-ban bill enacted
into law back in the summer.
The effect of the college editorial was that Wake
Forest alumni who supported the bill had brought shame
upon the college. Since Mr. O'Hanlon not only supported
tile bill at the time of its enactment but has strongly
defended it since that time, he put tongue in check and
advised the young editor that maybe it would be a good
idea to strike the O'Hanlon name from the college's alum
ni list, and thus remove One stigma of shame
Mr. O'Hanlon need not contemplate any such thing's
coming to pass. The Alumni list is the vehicle for money
raising exhortations, and the college is not that ashmed
of Mr. O'Hanlon.
In the same mail with the copy of Mr. O'Hanlon's
letter came a corny of the 1963 annual reoort of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, prepared by J. Edgar
Hoover. It crossed our mind this would have been a fine
document for Mr. O'Hanlon to have enclosed with his
letter to the voung editor.
FBI Director Hoover devoted eight full printed pages
to the category of “Protecting Democracy." At some
length, Mr. Hoover addresses himself to the matter of
Communists appearing on college campuses.
Mr. Hoover tells of the activities of the Communist
Party in the United States, its close ties with the Soviet
Union, and the fact that it is unauestionablv directed
from the Kremlin. On Page 25 of the report, Mr. Hoover
says:
“(A! maior proiect (of the Communist Party! during
the 1963 fiscal year was the continuation of the suc
cessful sneaking campaign before students at. colleges and
universities. Over 40 such speeches were made during the
year bv party leaders. An indication of the importance
the Party places on its drive to influence America's young
people is the fart that Gus Hall /head of the Communist
Party in the United States) has taken personal charge of
of the program."
In his report, Mr. Hbover continues: “During the
1963 fisca’ year, communist, spokesmen have stressed such
domestic issues as the civil rights struggle, the abolition
of all internal security programs and Congressional com
mittees investigating communism: and have (urged! the
reduction of military spending (and the diversion of) the
funds to social orolects . . .“
“Their maior aim." FBI Director Hoover said of the
Communists, “is to convev the Impression that commun
ists are loval citizens of the United States who merely
Wold nolitica1 views which differ from those cutlrentlv
prevailing. Thev denv anv direction from abroad and
allege thev seek change onlv through legal means."
In discussing the communist line being spread
throughout the country - bv direction from Moscow .
Mr. Hoover said that the Communist Party" . . . favors
government spending, especially for welfare protects. It
advocates that, ‘bigbusiness' mv a greater Share of the
cost of government, and in almbst the same breath pro
poses that the /federal!) government take over) most
major industries."
It makes a 1ot of noise, Mr. Hoover said, “(against!
Tmemofovment and high prices: for enual rights and
higher wages." Throughout, the 1963 fiscal vear the Com
munist Partv, USA, circulated—and we're auoting Mr.
Hoover—“ circulated tons of propaganda on the race
Issue ... there are a number of organizations In existance
in the United States today with annealing names which
were conceived hv the Communist Party, USA; and op
erate solely for its benefit."
We do not anticipate that J. Edgar Hoover's very
clear warnings will make much impression on those who
constancy chant the empty, meaningless two-word cat
echisms of “academic freedom" and ‘civil rights.* This
sort of academic freedom has little to do with freedom,
and the rights; we hear so much about are not very civil.
Brit there are those, as Mr. Hoover emphasizes, who im
pose them both with equal tyranny upon all of us.

Wild Parties
Replying to an editorial urging
liberalization of girls’ visiting
hours, Monro wrote in his letter
to the Harvard Crimson that he
and Dean of Students Dr. Robert
W. Watson were “badly shaken”
by some severe violations of rules
and decent standards of behavior.
“Trouble has arisen,” Dean
Monro said, “because what was
once considered a pleasant privi
lege entertaining women in men's
rooms has now, for a growing
number of students, come to be
considered a license to use the col
lege rooms for wild parties or for
sexual intercourse.”
Escapes Attention
Monro’s letter appeared in the
Crimson Oct. 9 but escaped at
