Cpl. and Mrs. Harold Willis an nounce the birth of a daughter, Linda Jean, on Saturday,’ July AMERICAN COMMUNISM ' There are usually enough causes for irritation and friction, be tween nations fighting a war as allies, without writers and public speakers adding their burrs. In those infrequent moments of peace which the nations of the world are permitted to enjoy, the popu lar sport of bawling each other out is freely, enthuiastically and mutually indulged in; but only someone oblivious to his own ad vantages would purposely antago nize an ally in time of war. There are many writers and public men who believe it their duty to attack with pen and voice the American communist and the American (or rather un-Ameri can) brand of communism. And Herman Bush, U. S. Navy, was just as often there are those wh0 in turn attack these writers and public men on the trumped-up charge that they are helping td cause friction between this nation and Russia.', This faked assump tion is absurd to the point of in anity. “American Communism” has nothing to do with Russia or with Russian Communism. As well assert that American Socialists are Nazis (National Socialists) — just because they use the same name. American communism is today a local disease—its very existence publicly repudiated by the govern ment of our ally Russia. The purpose of this strictly American bacterioligical disorder is the ov erthrow of our present form of “government of the people” for government of a very small—but very vicious — minority, composed in large part, it is generally be lieved, of those exceptional for eign-born immigrants who came over here only because they were dissatisfied with their own gov ernments; who are now dissatis fied with ours, and will eventually Remember — You Always Save At...

Announcement has been made by Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Thompson of Winston-Salem, N. C., of the marriage of their daughter, Rosa mond Willette, to William Pierce Deason, aviation cadet, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Deason of McCormick, S. C. The marriage was performed in the Post Chapel at Maxwell Field, Ala., on June 24, at 3:30 p. m. with Chaplain Fred Jones in charge of the service. The ring ceremony was used. For her maid of honor, the bride chose Miss Margaret War- moth of Rock Hill, S. C., who was her classmate at Winthrop Col lege. The best man was James Cloos, aviation cadet, ’ of Buffalo, N. Y., who is a roommate of Air Cadet Deason. Prior to the ceremony the post organist played “O Promise Me, “Ave Maria” (Schubert), and “ Love Thee.” “Traume” (Wag ner) was played while the vows were being said. The traditional wedding marches were used. The bride wore an acqua dress of street length. Her corsage was of white orchids and her acces sories were white. Air Cadet Deason attended Bowen’s School of Business Ad ministration at Columbia. Before going into service he was with the Kraft Cheese Company. He en listed the day after Pearl Harbor and served as a radio operator in the Ferry Command. Recently he transferred to the army air corps. The couple took a wedding trip through Western Carolina. He re turned to his base to await as signment and will be joined by Mrs. Deason as soon as he is lo cated. X be dissatisfied with that of th? horned gentleman who is reputed to reign in the regions below. That these subversive and rather repulsive gentlemen are gaining ground for theii; move ment in our beloved country, is granted. That they will finally swallow and enslave us is possibl; but improbable. Very recently in New York City, a speech of State Senator Freder ic R. Coudert, a violent anti-Am erican Commimist,” was drasti cally censored by a local radij broadcasting station. One of the reasons given was that it—“con tained aspersions on our allie > and other material calculated t j spread disunity at home.” Does a speech or a written ar ticle contain aspersions on our ally Russia because it warns of local enemies who are openly de voted to the task of destroys g the government which the sover eign people of this nation have desired and maintained for ov^r 150 years? Would Russia be cast ing aspersions upon her ally, the United States, if she criticized cr stamped out Russians—or for eigners—who were plotting convert her government into a Democracy? Certainly not! and Americans would be the first tj recognize the fact that no reflec tion was intended. Russia’s form of government is her own business—not ours! And this should—and now does—wor^ both ways. The Russians doubt less consider us—to say the leaR —slightly moronic, to allow thes? self-appointed and self-seeking trouble makers to plot against our existence, and could scarcely ba expected to take offense every time some state senator aimed a few caustic remarks at a certain Earl Browder and his teibe cf “Americans.” DR.

Some of our war industries are not filling Army and Navy orders because of a lack of man power and womanpower.
