SUBSCRIPTION: $3.00 per year. payable in advance LETTER TO A LOCAL EDITOR Encouraging evidence shows up almost every day that more and more Americans are catching on to the purpose and tactics of the Mistaken enemies of freedom Much of this evidence is contained in the “Letters to the Editor” departments of our newspapers. For example, here is what a reader of the Dallas News recently wrote to the editor of that paper: “The Communist party long has had the objective of abolishing the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Communists being part of an international conspiracy do not want the light of truth on their actions. . . “Citizens of the United States are entitled to know the truth about the enemy of this country. “The only committees of Congress with the mandate to investigate openly and by public hearings work- For example, here is what a reader of the Dallas News recently wrote to the editor of that paper: "The Communist party long has had the objective of abolishing the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Communists being part of an international conspiracy do not want the light of truth on their actions..." "Citizens of the United States are entitled to know the truth about the enemy of this country. The only committees of Congress with the mandate to investigate openly and by public hearings workings of the communist conspiracy are the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee and the House Committee on Un-American Activities. "It is inconceivable that any person who desires to continue to live under our constitutional representative form of government would advocate abolition of these most important committees of Congress." WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET The best way to solve community development problems is to get all kinds of local organizations working together on a comprehensive, do-it-yourself program. That is the view of Arthur H. Motley, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. On the highly specific side, he said that legislation now pending in Congress "could kill chambers of commerce and other local voluntary organizations working for community development... (and) could eliminate independent local government." That's quite a statement. But Motley has evidence to support it. More than 250 local subsidy bills are pending. They provide Federal aid for repairing streets, sidewalks, bridges, parking lots, recreation facilities, garbage disposal facilities, sewage and sanitation facilities, police and fire protection, and many other local matters. The thinking behind such proposals can only be that the Federal government should do everything. If that is to be the case, local government along with civic groups might just as well shut up shop and call it a day. Then, in the matter of Federal taxes, controls and regimentation, it will be a case of "we ain't seen nothing" 'FLAMING MODERATES' Time magazine calls attention to a turn to the right in the thinking of many college students. It reports such expressions and beliefs as: "The signs point to a revival of interest in individualism and decentralization of power... The right of private property as the best bulwark of freedom... unemployment should be alleviated by charity... children should obey the Biblical command to honor parents by caring for them in their old age instead of leaving the responsibility to the Social Security Administration." Particularly significant is the reason cited—that youth is rebelling against these most important committees of Congress." LETTERS Fights Community To the Editor: The writer of this letter spent the greater part of past two years fighting a personal battle against communism and received communications from J. Edgar Hoover, the White House for one year in particular while a reside of the state of Missouri. I own a personally graphed copy of J. Edgar Hoover's "Masters of Deceit" have thoughtly studied it cover to cover. Yet, according to whose letters are currently published in the various newspapers, I must be a communist because my personal feelings are anti John H. Society. I hasten to add that are also anti-ACLU. I strongly in favor of the House Committee on Un-America Activities and favor with even vigor loyalty oaths. My personal experiences show too many individuals in various anti-communist organizations have undermined my faith such organizations. These experiences have encompassed Semitism, anti-Negro, and Mexican, anti Protestant, anti-Federal Government...to cover the main ones. In some cases these feels have been blurted out before my ideas on the subject have been made known. In the more clever versions the Negro has hidden under the matter States' Rights. And so on do the line. I have frequently wished how many of these great patriots have actually read Edgar Hoover's book, which they all include in their re-reading and study lists. And if they have read it, how can they Time magazine calls attention to a turn to the right in the thinking of many college students. It reports such expressions and beliefs as: "The signs point to a revival of interest in individualism and decentralization of power... The right of private property as the best bulwark of freedom ... unemployment should be alleviated by charity ... children should obey the Biblical command to honor parents by caring for them in their old age instead of leaving the responsibility to the Social Security Administration." Particularly significant is the reason cited—that youth is rebelling against conformity, "and to many the liberalism of their New Deal-bred elders is the most iron-bound conformity." Too often we read that today's youth is interested only in security and is willing to pay the price of surrendered individual rights to get it. Apparently this is not true, and that's what makes Time's report such good news. Never before has this country so needed young, forceful and articulate voices to remind us that our invaluable freedoms, our privilege to improve our material position by our individual effort and, yes, even our obligation to be our brother's keeper, were EARNED by the efforts of individuals and not GIVEN by government. Time tells of two significant incidents. A stern conservative was recently re-elected student council president at Harvard. And also at Harvard, undergraduates have launched a new magazine, "Advance," aimed at what its publisher calls "balanced social progress within the free enterprise system." Its readership, says the publisher, will be the "flaming moderates" of the United States campuses—and he thinks he has a big field. Students Win Scholarships Eight Western High School students received letters this week from the California State Scholarship Committee informing them that they had been selected as recipients of California State Scholarships. The scholarships range in value up to $900, are renewable for four years, and are to be used for tuition and fees only. The recipients were selected on the basis of their College Entrance Examination Board's scores, high school grade average, and financial need.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rights Communism by the Editor: The writer of this letter has sent the greater part of the last two years fighting a personal battle against communism and received commendations from J. Edgar Hoover and the White House for one effort particular while a resident of Missouri. Down a personally autographed copy of J. Edgar Hoover and the White House for one effort particular while a resident of Missouri. Yet, according to many case letters currently being published in the various newspapers, I must be communist because my personal feelings are anti Birch cety. I hasten to add John also anti-ACLU. I am largely in favor of the House committee on Un-American activities and favor with equal loyalty oaths. My personal experiences with many individuals in various anti-communist organizations are undermined my faith in organizations. These experiences have encompassed antitism, anti-Negro, anti-racan, anti-Protestant, and Federal Government... over the main ones. Some cases these feelings been blurted out before ideas on the subject have made known. In the more recent versions the Negro hate hidden under the matter of’s Rights. And so on down one. I have frequently won how many of these greatests have actually read J. Edgar Hoover’s book, which all include in their readings and study lists. And if they read it, how can they exert themselves in mass action. Are all these people willing to admit they are incapable of individual thought and action independent of headquarters and “leaders”? The libraries have the books for your information, and the Superintendent of Documents in Washington puts out tremendous lists of books, pamphlets and leaflets on Communism (probably cheaper than many through organizations). Of course, if sufficient work has been done to convince you that because of numerous evils in Washington the entire Federal Government has gone into the hands of the Communists, these will not help. How did J. Edgar Hoover escape their hands? Or is he soon to be added to the list? One of our Congressmen admitted recently that at least in his office these mass letter writing campaigns have lost value because the letters lack individuality or evidence of thought. They are placed in a separate heap and generally ignored. Unfortunately, if I happen to write about the same bill at the same time my letter joins the heap... and again I have lost because of “organization.” There has been extensive Communist infiltration throughout the country. There is a definite danger... and imminent. We must be alert. We must know how to fight... and then fight hard in the American way. We must be overly patriotic, must renew our knowledge of American history and take pride in our American heritage, must take a renewed and stronger part in our Government, must be of a loved one. Who are you going to send condolences to on the death of the U.S. and its freedoms? You have read about what is happening in Laos so far away but what about the Cuban situation at our very doorstep? The toll of the bells can almost be heard. If you listen hard enough you can hear Castro and Khrushchev chanting “Eenie, meenie, mineee, mo, which U.S. city will be first to go?” How many of you mothers with sons in the service will agree with those signs? The communists are hoping that you will and that you will take your sentimental pen in hand and write to your Senators and Congressmen. I, for one, will not. My 21-year-old son, who is aboard the U.S. aircraft carrier Independence, would be very ashamed of me for being so gullible. If you have been reading your newspapers lately, you will know that the Independence is one of the carriers now on patrol off Cuba. Just knowing that some of our fleet is there gives me a sense of security. Our population knows that there is trouble in Cuba because it affects us and is out in the open, but what about the trouble that is here in our midst which is hidden except to a few who have been trying to warn us! How did these few get so smart? It's simple, they took the time to study the directions on the communists’ propaganda packages so they would know how to assemble it and how it worked. You cannot put together something that is unfamiliar to you without studying the pattern first. The Communist Manifesto describes each piece of the pattern and gives a picture of the finished product. Any mother who has done any While the legislature bating teacher credential, and other educational matters, a bill, which I ed., was introduced a few ago that received little attention. But before the session over, it might cause stir. Senate Bill 1383 works school districts that do qualify under Average Attendance requirement tenure, to employ teachers a long-term contract; instance a contract noceed three years. And the contract can drawn so as to give teachers and the schools an out as far as separatement employment during the contract is in operation. It will be interesting how the bill makes our legislature. It is authored by Paul Byrne (R-Butte) authored by Senators Quick (D-Imperial), Jo Govich (D-Amador and rado Counties) and myself. Well, by now everyone have paid his income tax. Here's another thought keep you awake nights.

Are you all set for the big Mother's Day parades? You've never heard of them! Where have you been since World War II? There aren't any bands playing or flags flying, just bunches of people walking the streets with large printed signs such as BAN THE A-BOMB, DON'T LET YOUR SONS BE KILLED ON FOREIGN SOIL, SEND A PETITION FOR PEACE, DOWN WITH THE BIRCH SOCIETY—oops! wrong sign at the wrong time. We Americans are a sentimental lot. We send Uncle Joe a card on his birthday, aunt Ella gets one on her anniversary and friends get one to express condolences on the death took the time to study the directions on the communists' propaganda packages so they would know how to assemble it and how it worked. You cannot put together something that is unfamiliar to you without studying the pattern first. The Communist Manifesto describes each piece of the pattern and gives a picture of the finished product. Any mother who has done any sewing is familiar with a pattern. We know motherhood is not an easy task. It is a lifetime job with many joys and sorrows. We accept it with determination to do the best we can for our young ones. Why is it, then, that we could lay down our lives at any time without a moment's hesitation, when physical danger approaches our children—yet we take no heed of mental dangers that come their way. It's because the mental dangers are hidden and we are not aware of them. If all mothers would read and study about how communism works as diligently as they study Dr. Spock, how wonderful it would be. Why not make this Mother's Day the beginning of the fight to save our children from the evils of communism? Give yourself a present of a book written by men who know the ways and means of communism and how you can help to fight it. The dangers to our children are ever present and it is up to us to find out how to fife it. Forewarned is forearmed. The time is short, so "round our children, mother rally once again, shouting battle cry of freedom" or, qu- the raven, "Nevermore." VIRGINIA GALBRAH 9711 Pandora Lane. The Ways and Means Committee, of which I am a member, has started extensive hearings on President Kennedy's tax message. It proposes changes which are intended to stimulate business by a rather complicated formula of accelerated depreciation schedule. He recommends the exclusion of public utilities from this depreciation allowance as well as certain other businesses. The Treasury estimates an annual revenue loss of $1.7 billion from this tax credit allowance, but it is hoped that certain industries will be stimulated which will provide additional employment. Under the Eisenhower Ad YOUR LEGISLATOR AT WORK SEN. JOHN A. MURDY, JR. State Senator While the legislature is debating teacher credentials, tenure, and other educational matters, a bill, which I co-authored, was introduced a few weeks ago that received little notoriety. ministration, when accelerated depreciation was requested, the Democrats termed the proposal as the "trickle down theory." I am happy to see that the Democrats have adopted this theory. The tax message requests legislative changes in the tax treatment of foreign-based subsidiaries owned or controlled by Americans. It also requests the enactment of legislation taxing earned income of American citizens living abroad as well as an estate tax levy on property located abroad. We are requested to repeal the $50 and 4 percent dividend credit, enacted in 1954 to encourage investment in equity stock to provide money for expansion. Since 1954, the number of persons owning stocks has increased from six to 15 million people, but Treasury claims that the dividend tax credit did not contribute to this increase. We are requested to provide for ordinary income taxation on the sale of depreciated business property instead of using the capital gains provision. And, of course, we are asked to extend all Korean War excise taxes due to expire next month. News About Our Service Men James Brailsford, seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

But before the session is over, it might cause quite a stir. Senate Bill 1383 would allow school districts that do not now qualify under Average Daily Attendance requirements for tenure, to employ teachers on a long-term contract, in this instance a contract not to exceed three years. And the contract could be drawn so as to give both the teacher and the school board an out as far as separation of employment during the time the contract is in operation. It will be interesting to see how the bill makes out in the legislature. It is authored by Senator Paul Byrne (R-Butte) and co-authored by Senators Aaron Quick (D-Imperial), John Begovich (D-Amador and El Dorado Counties) and myself. Well, by now everyone should have paid his income tax. Here's another thought to keep you awake nights. The State Personnel Board sent a warning to Gov. Brown and the legislature recently that state salaries are about 2 per cent below private industry now and some positions as much as 5 per cent below. The personnel board also warned that if salary adjustments are not provided the average will slip to 7 per cent below private industry by July 1, 1962.

I've been reading with interest in the recent controversy over sex surveys and questionnaire at least two high school discricts in Orange County. And here's something that might be interesting to you. Assemblyman Joe Shell (Rs Angeles), who incidentally he is running for governor 1962 regardless of what Nixplans now, has introduced a well pertinent to the sex survey issue. His bill, A.B. 3111, would exhibit school district officers and employees (teachers) from acting a pupil, except for menability and proficiency in basic skills and subject matter the curriculum, without first clarifying the parent or guarnance and obtaining written contents.
