DANGER BEHIND THE MASK
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Alfred P. Haake, Ph.D., Mayor of Park Ridge,
111., is a noted Economist, Business Consultant, Lecturer and author)
By Dr. Alfred P. Haake
An editorial in the Saturday Evening Post recently
warned us that many of our so-called "intellectuals" still
cherish the communist dream-wish, believing that the
communist regime in Russia came as a popular revolt
against former Czarist tyranny: whereas the truth is that
the communist regime is really a betrayal and forceful
suppression of that revolution by the people. Out of the
turmoil that followed the overthrow of the Czar, the pop
ular assembly elected by the people was in turn completely
suppressed and Lenin proclaimed a totalitarian dictator
ship by the Bolsheviks.
So the communist dictatorship is itself a betrayal of the I
democracy which the Russian people tried to set up inj
1917. Several years later, the effort of the Russian sailors ;
ι
at Kronstadt to restore the rights of the people peacefullyj
was put down by the communists with savage ferocity.
The Post is correct in pointing out the confusion and
error in the minds of those who still think of communism
as an effort to establish democracy and establish the rights
of the people. Our domestic collectivists will -never rea
lize the danger of Russian communism until they learn j
the truth.
Now comes an organization calling itself, "Friends of!
Fighters for Russian Freedom," which presently is seeking |
members and funds for the purpose of preserving freedom j
by winning the friendship and cooperation of the peoples!
of Russia now being ground under the heel cf Soviet com-,
munism.
It is a laudable objective, for if we could induce the;
millions behind the iron curtain to revolt against their'
communist masters, the task of saving freedom from de- ■
struction would be expedited.
But, among the sponsors of the FFRF are persons who I
have favored or favor increase in the power of the Federal
Government to control the economic life of our country.
Some of them have openly and consistently fought against
our competitive enterprise system and advocated such
fS cuai C Ο I/O. VX* «ÜVUDU4VU MW * V — — — — _
ilized Medicine, Public Housing and other projects in
similar categories.
We must not permit our eyes to be blinded to the
real danger at home by the glamor of saving a world
abroad.
We must not be misled by an administration which
attacks communism abroad in vigorous and even vicious
terms, while at the same time it insists stubbornly on sitting
up far-reaching economic controls by the Federal Govern
ment at home. We dare not forget the effect on our do
mestic economy, on individual freedom and our system
of competitive enterprise, of the riot of spending that has
exceeded in less than six years the total expenditures un
der all previous administrations in our history, including
that of F. D. Roosevelt.
Russia can sit back and laugh at the spectacle of the
giant "capitalistic octopus" destroying itself at home
through reckless spending, devastating debt, confiscatory
taxation and the spreading cancer of inflation. That is
the program Russia would have us follow.
The real danger to our country is not the communism or
communism abroad. Serious as is that danger, it shrinks
into comparative insignificance compared to the danger
of destroying our freedom at home while we fight to pro
tect it abroad. It is the insidious collectivism of the Wel
fare State behind the mask of defense against foreign
aggression thot is destroying our individual freedom and
the economic system that made us great powerful and
prosperous.
Beware of the hidden poison in the cup of collectivistic
well-being measures.
HOMEMAKERS
HINTS TO
There is something about a
good pair of gloves that adds an
air of elegance and good groom
ing to the shabbiest costume
However, you will never attain
this distinction unless your
gloves are always kept at the
pink of perfection—no frazzeled
seams, no fingertips peeking
through split ends and above ail.
no soil. There's really no excuse
for dirty gloves when you con
sider how easily they can be
washed at home when you fol
low a few simple rules. Here are
suggestions from the grooming
experts:
Buying points: Check for wash
ability—and this is not restricted
to fabric gloves—before buying.
Many top-ranking glove manu
facturers point with pride to the
suds-safeness of their finest lea
ther gloves. Chock inside cuff or
labels to see whether the gloves
you are buying are among the
many leathers that are washable.
These leathers include pigskin
capeskin, glace kid, chamois
suede, doeskin, and mocha.
Washing precautions: Before
washing, make sure your best
gloves have never been dry-clean
ed. Dry cleaning fluids tend tc
dissolve the washable finish on
leather gloves. Launder your
washable leather gloves before
they become badly soiled. Us
cool soapsuds. Wash all leather
gloves, except chamois or doe
skin, right on your hands, mani
pulating your hands as if you
were washing them. For extra
soiled spots use additional fluffy
suds or a soft, well-lathered
brush. You may need to work up
a second basin of suds if the
ι first bath dies down too quickly
Dry carefully: After gloves are
clean on the outside, work them
off vor hands so that they ai'e
inside out. Wash the wrong side
'well, too. then rinse the gloves
in several cool waters. Doeskin
j gloves benefit from a bit of soap
in the final rinse water. Blot the
gloves in a Turkish towel.
Smooth out the wrinkles and
separate the fingers by blowing
gently into the gloves. Dry them
flat on a towel, far away from
heat. Tissue paper inside the
gloves will keep the palms and
backs from touching and cut
down drying time.

The broad objectives of the U.
S. Defense Bond program for
1952 are: to widen the ownership
of the national debt, further mo
bibize the po^pr of regular sav
ing behind our defense effort and
thus help check inflation as the
defense program expands.
' If money burns your pocket,
soak it away in U. S. Defense
Bonds and you'll have cool cash

MERGER
PROPOSAL
FAVORED
OCEAN DRIVE BEACH—The
latest count on the replies receiv
ed from the straw vote letters
proposing the merger of Cres
cent Beach with Ocean Driv<
Beach under one municipal chart
er indicates that the great may
ority of property owners on th<
two beaches are in favor of the
merger.
Here is a break-down on th<
votes received by Mayor Gradj
Johnson's office at the Oceai
Drive Beach City Hall: Out-of
town (non-resident and non-vot
ing) property owners: For: 80
against: 19. Local resident (vot
ing) property owners: For 18
against 17.
Roy Havens, who is handlini
tabulation of the votes fron
Crescent Beach property owners
released the following figure:
on the Crescent Beach vote: Non
resident property owners: For
86; against: 21. Local (resident]
i property owners: For 33; again®
11.
Havens stated that the fina
tabulation of votes would b<
made on Jan. 10 by both towns
He indicated as soon as possibl«
thereafter a joint meeting of th(
Ocean Drive City Council and th<
Crescent Beach Committee woulc
be held, chiefly for the purpose
of determining if the straw vot(
indicated enough interest in the
merger proposal to plan for ar
official election on the tw(
bcaches.
It is noted that the great maj
ority of property owners on the
two beaches are non-resident
and therefore not eligible to vote
in any election. Local (resident)
property owners, by being quali
I fied electors, would determine
! the issue if it is called to a vote
ine SU'ilW vuie icncio uiud
received contain many emphatic
statements concerning the pro
posal. While the great majority
favor overall incorporati ο η
many object to any proposal tc
change or give up the name o'
charter of "Ocean Drive Beach.'
Many are opposed to locating
the new municipal center on th<
Highway, while others see it as
an opportunity to stop and there
fore attract more of the lucrative
tourist trade traveling Highway
17 between New York and Mi
ami.
Some of the comments receiv
ed are as follows:
"A very progressive move."
Am definitely not in favor ol
incorporating Crescent Beach
with Ocean Drive Beach W.hj
not a merger with Tilghman
(Estates, then let Crescent Beach
come in, making Ocean Drive the
center of the enlargement pro
gram?"
"If there should be an occasior
to change or shorten the name
of Ocean Drive Beach, I suggesl
the name 'Ocean City, S. C.\ The
Ocean' designates we are on the
Atlantic Ocean, and the 'City
indicates a large place."
"Am most certainly in favoi
of incorporating together. II
would be the key to developing
the two beaches into a more at
tractive summer resort with
more year 'round possibilities.'
"I thing this is a step forwarc
and very much needed bul
keep the name of Ocean Drive
Beach."
"No. I like Ocean Drive Beach
just as it is."
"Am in fnvnr nrnviripri th<
name of Ocean Drive Beach is
not changed. It has too much ad
vertising value to be lost bj
changing the name."
"I personally think it is £
splendid idea to incorporate to
gether."
"Only a local resident can tel
where Ocean Drive ends and
Crescent Beach begins. To the
average tourist, it's already om
town. As a property owner al
both beaches, I think the mergei
is long overdue. We'd bettei
hang together or we'll hang sep
arately."
"No. Am definitely not in fav
or of changing the name of Oc
ean Drive Beach."
"Yes, and if the name is chang
ed, I think Ocean City* woulc
be ideal. 'Ocean Drive' is not now
appropriate for the reason thai
there is no longer strand driving
in season. The word 'City' woulc
indicate our enormous growth
In 25 years or less, a nearby more
famous resort will be our back
yard."
"No. Ocean Drive Beach has a
natural business section now anc
I think it will continue to grow
in its present location. It is the
logical place for the business sec
tion for the adjoining beaches.'
"Yes. With the finest beach ir
America to start with, I thinl·
we could grow into a wonderful
municipality. I greatly appreci
ate the progressiveness and fore
sight of the leaders of Ocear
Drive Beach and Crescent
Beach."
"Yes. Sounds like a good plan.
Why not tske in Tilghman Beach
and Cherry Grove Beach? Then
we would have a large enough
town and resources enough tc
really do some advertising."
"There is no doubt that this
would be a great forward step.
I suggest as a compromise name,
'Ocean Beach'."
"The name Ocean Drive Beach
should De retained ii possible."
"Yes. I say incorporate them
with us. We have one of the h^t
beaches on the Atlantic Ocean
Let's make it the biggest."

other make . . . nearly as many as the next two makes
combined!
What they get for their money is a rugged, sturdy, de

purchase over other trucks of comparable specifications, and
a record of savings on the job that can't be topped.
