Communists Spark
Phi Discussion
On Party In U.S.
By Emily Baker
A bill stating that the Communist party of the United
Elates is detrimental to the policies of this country' was pass
ed by a 12-5 vote of the Philanthropic Assembly Tuesday
r.i-ht. The measure was passed by a 13-10 vote of the entire
speaking delegation present.
Junius Scales, head of the ,
Chapel Hill Communist party, , t i . . g
E:;i Robertson, member of the
Wallace club, Harry Mensh and
Bill McGirt, members of the
Communist party, were the guest
speakers during the evening who
ipokc against the bill. Ernie
House and Page Harris, members
of the assembly, led the discus
sion in favor of the bill.
180 Days and $103
The climax of the discussion
occurred when Harry Mensh, who
was sentenced to 180 days of
hard labor and $100 in costs by an
Alabama judge for disorderly
conduct, stood up and asked for
the floor.
Tvlensh said, "I am out on bail
now. My defense is to beat back
the forces that threaten the
downfall of the entire world. Our
country should remain true to
such ideals as Franklin Roose
velt conceived in the UN. It
would be a direct violation of '
the principles for which the I
United States stands if you allow
yourself to be stampeded into
supporting anything that resemb
les this bill." He closed his
speech by defying anyone to
stand up and be counted in favor
of the bill.
Held Incommunicado
In answer to Bob Coulter's
question as to why he was sen
tenced, Mensh explained, "I was
held incommunicado for 20 hours
before a definite charge was lev
ied against me. Finally the judgs
stated that since I was giving
out reprints of an article which
appeared in a New York paper,
I was disturbing the peace and
anything that disturbs the peace
is disorderly conduct."
Following a clarification of sev
eral points of the Communist
party, Bill McGirt was asked by
Herman Seiber if a Communist
is required to take an oath of
allegiance to the USSR or make
a statement concerning the de
fense of the Soviet Union when
becoming a member of the Com
munist party of the United States.
He replied, "I had to take no oath
to the Soviet Union or to make
any oath of treason to the United
States."
Red Constitution
Scales further elaborated on
this point by reading the pre
amble to the Communist party
constitution which was adopted
on July 28, 1945. He said "We
are internationalist but this does
not mean we are disloyal to our
own country. The Communists
of America have been the advo
cators of progressive legislation."
Bill Robertson challenged the
assembly to answer, "What would
be the essential difference be
tween outlawing the Communist
party in America and outlawing
similar moves in Hitler's Ger
many, Franco's Spain, and Fas
cist Italy?"
A Few Dictators
Page Harris answered, "To
outlaw a party in America, a ma
jority of the people have to de-
cide to outlaw the party. This is
not so in a Communist country
where a few dictators give the
command to outlaw a party."
Ernie House, speaking for the
bill, said, "The Communists do

of Winston-Salem.
