PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1965 A NEW INSURGENCY Whenever the U. S. public! becomes preoccupied with its dometic affairs or when for eign tension reaches a stale mate level, look out. These are the dangerous times when Communists around the world are plotting and planning for the next leaps. Right now they are planning how to get in on the Indian-Pakistan dispute, just as they are what to de here in America in 1968. More than a generation of stealthy, deceitful maneuvering has made it clear that the Reds are always on the move, even when they are not in the news. Much of what they are doing now, of course, was set up one, three, five years ago. One of the current major tactical efforts of the Reds has been their deliberate and purposeful campaign to make Am ericans believe that the trouble in South Vietnam is an in ternal political struggle between Vietnamese, in which the Viet Cong is only a political faction faction. Our people, of course, have shown that it is the guerrilla a^rn of interna tional Communism, and U. S. Reds haee proved it by talking about setting up a brigade to help the Viet Cong. But unfor tunately. otherwise intelligent Americans have fallen for this line, so much has it been mouthed by our not-so-inno- cent fellow' travelers. No See, but There Or, one could site the actions of the former Dominican President Juan Bosch, before the Marines reached Santa Domingo, as the typically confused liberal w r ho w T ants power no matter w'hat is required to get it. Bosch, not knowm as a Red, played freely with them until they were about to use him to take over the country. No Communist dowm there said the apologists. But nowq the Popular Socialists and the Pop ular Movement are both vying to see which can wave more Red flags. They’re there, they have been there all the time, and new they think they can get more out i nthe open—when the Marines leave. Columnist Victor Riesel has commented how unfortunate it is that the Ho Chi Minhs of the world are not discovered by the free nations BEFORE they are prepared to throw their guerrillas against us. He has detailed the rise of Francisco Juliao in Brazil, whose followers today are receiving arms from Red China. Another peasant leader, waiting his chance for civil war. Soviet led labor organizations are also setting the country up for revolution and chaos. Only the military power holds the country together. Comeback in Europe? News reports recently have described considerable evid ence of a Communist comeback in West Germany, alhtough the party has been illegal there since 1956. With a few thousand staunch members underground, it has become the pawn of the East German Communist Party, which is sup plying at least a million dollars yearly for propaganda and agitation. They smuggle and shift propaganda all over Europe to get it into West Germany, and Ithey seem convinced that they can make headway in this country of booming prosperity. They play on fears of nuclear war and are inciting unrest by Hooking A. head \ ...by Dr. Georg* S. Bemon PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM S**rcy, ArkeBMS Dean Manion m' THE MANION FORUM AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY When President Johnson dispatched a contingent of Mar ines to the Dominican Republic last April, the respective cheers and boos came from predictable sources. Anti-Communists the w r orld over praised LBJ for his ef fort to prevent another Cuba i nthe Caribbean. Castro, Ko sygin and company screamed “aggression!” And Leftists of varied hues objected, muttering that the Dominicans had a right to revolt of they wanted to, and besides, how did we know that the Communists had anything to do with it. It matters little, now, what anybody thought last April. The Dominican Republic is skidding towards a Communist takeover. And the United States has greased the skids. Our policy that began so bravely reversed itself almost immediately. Our troops were forbidden to join forces with the Dominican military organization that was fighting the Communist-infested rebels. We attempted instead to take aw r ay the power of the anti-Communist military. Finally, we pressed for a : :reconcilliation”—and gave our blessing to a provisional government headed by Dr. Hector Garcia-Godoy. Godoy proceeded to place rebels in govern ment posts. He invited the return of previously exiled poli tical figures—such as former president Juan Bosch. The rebels were not satisfied by Godoy’s concessions to them. Hhey announced that they would not surrender their arms until the leading anti-Communist general, Elias Wessin y Wessin, was removed from the country. Tme U.S.A. ob liged, using American soldiers to seize Wessin and deposit him in Miami. But the rebels decided that Wessin’s depart ure wasn’t a big enough concession. They did not surrender their arms. “If the non-Communist of the Dominican Republic do not arouse themselves to protest, the Republic will be delivered to the Communists by elections within eight months,” stated General Wessin in a Chicago Tribune acticle on October 7. But what non- Communist is going to speak out when all he will get for his trouble is a fast exit from Santo Domingo? It would have been bad enough to stand aside andlet the Reds capture another country. But we did much more than that. We helped pave the way for a Communist takeover of Dominican Republic. The signs were all there for us to see well ahead of time: a “social” revolution, led not by the masses, but by cadres of Castro-trained agitators. Our Stat Department even iden tified more than 50 Communists in the rebel camp in the game. President Johnson said he wanted to prevent a Com munist takeover—which is evidence that he saw one in the raddio broadcasts among a million or so foreign workers in West Germany. What About The U. S. A.? In America, too, the Communists are taking on new life. They are allowed to operate openly, and they are increasing their activities in publishing, youth recruitment, and politi cal plannng. A the same time their secretive, behind-the- scenes intrigues are deceiving large sections of the American public into thinking that the Communists are innocently as sociated with the rest of the liberals. They are using the liberals, all right, but they are doing these things by delib erate plan, searching as ever fo rthe puickest route to com- munizing the United States. They pretty well succeeded following the Los Angeles riots in hiding evidence that the violence and destruction there was anything other than sponatneous. Just poverty- stricken, disadvantaged Negroes attacking the enemy and demanding their civil “riots.” Uh-huh. To experts who viewed the scene, watching its progress, and then noted the statements of radicals like Jesse Gray who called the boys in Los Angeles “freedom fighters,” it became obvious that the insunection was not unplanned. Let us not forget that the Reds count on misery and insurrection to advance their revolutions, and they would like to see more of it in America. M/CHT /MAS making. General Wessin, the heroic anti-Communist who was rude ly forced into exile by our American government, appeared on the Manion Forum on October 10. He isued a worning to American youth—and made a plea to the people of this country to fight against the conspiracy that is destroying his homeland. For the general’s touching and timely message order a copy of the Manion Forum broadcast No. 575. GIVE UP THE PANAMA CANAL? President Johnson recently an nounced he has decided to sur render United States sovereignty over the Panama Canal to the Republic of Panama. The Presi dent does not have the power to activate his decision—the Senate must ratify any proposed new treaty such as this one—but his intent to abrogate the present treaty has great significance. The Panama Canal was built by the United States and has been maintained by this country ever since, at a cost of more than $2 billion dollors. A 1903 treaty with Panama gives the United States perpetual sovereignty over the Canal and the Canal Zone. The Republic of Panama, in fast, owes its very existence to the U. S. In 1903, when Panama declared its independence from Columbia, President Theodore Roosevelt rec ognized the new country and pre vented Columbian troops from landing there. The United States pays Panama $250,000 yearly for our rights in the Canal Zone. The Canal pro vides millions of jobs for Panam anians. Panama enjoys the high est per capita income in Latin America—possibly because about $90 millions yearly goes into its economy as a result of the pres ence of the U. S. A. in the zone. But there have been recurring riots in Panama; mobs with screaming demands that we give the Canal away. These demonstra tions have been heartily backed by the Communists, who realize what a vital link the Canal is for the United States, both for nat ional defense and world trade. Congressman Daniel Flood of Pennsylvania is scheduled in a few weeks to tell the Manion For um audience the details and dan gers of the President’s suggested new treaty. Mr. Flood, an expert on Panama, spoke over the For um in 1963 and asked, “How can responsible officials of our Gov ernment knowingly collaborate with Panamanian radicals to sur render more of our authority to a country which, since 1955, when sanitation in the cities of Colon and Panama was returned to it, has not even succeeded in collect ing the garbage?” The Communists might be hop ing that, when Panama gets con trol of the Canal, its management will be so inept that a Red take over will be easy. What Mr. Johnson ought to have told the demonstrators is that if they don’t like our $250,- 000 per year, plus another $90 million in salaries, benefits, re tirement plans and the like, then we will build another canal in another country. But, of course, Mr. Johnson said exactly the opposite. He of fered not only to give the Canal away, but to build another one in Panama! The Senate will consider Mr. Johnson’s preposterous proposal sometime after the New Year. Hopefully, American voters will tell their Senators not to let LBJ throw U. S. money, prestige, and trade and defense safeguards down the drain—merely to please the demands of a mob. By Mary Whitman The family crayon box ia versatile. Of course the youngsters want first claim — for their coloring books and freehand drawings. But some parents may find it worthwhile to keep a crayon box of their own. “Crayons have a great many uses for the workshop, the garage, for the family bulletin board and for household label ing,” points out Alice Hanson of Whitman Publishing ’ Company of Racine, Wisconsin. New Whitman crayons — bright, strong and non-flaking — come in forty eight delightful colors that inspire use by the whole family. In addition to the standard reds, blues, yellows and'greens you can choose cray ons in peach, violet, gold, silver, btirnt sienna, ultramarine and dozens of variations. Crayons can be used to make unusual plac* cards or colorful mats for a children’s party. Planning an Easter feast? The youngsters can decorate. They could draw rabbit faces on hard boiled eggs in the shell, add rabbit ears cut out of -colored paper, and stand the eggs in wide rings of colored paper labeled with each guest’s name. Even on non-party days cray ons are useful. Want to remind the children about chores? Tape a big note written in crayon to the bedroom door or bathroom mirror or the front of the re frigerator. No one- can overlook a inessage in magenta. Crayons are handy in the garage or basement, too. Some can be used. to label boxes of i hardware, spare parts, or out of ! season clothing." The careful 1 home craftsman who hangs his i tools on pegboard finds another use. A crayon-drawn outline shows where each tool belongs, so It’s easy to see if one’s missing. ! Crayons can even help plan dinner. If you label preserved or frozen fruits, meats or vege tables, use of different colored crayons lets you see at a glance what’s in the larder. > FOR INDOOR PLANTINGS Light supplies the energy on which all plant life is based.

As one of the people; a native son whose parents, grand-par ents, great grand-parents—and son on ad infintum, were Americans and South Carolinians and Virginians, as an or dinary citizen. I am frequently disgusted by the political chi- caney so common today. Political duplicity has been with us a long time but today it is served and practiced as a glamorous contrivance for the public welfare. I think I shall borrow something from Tom Anderson, who carries a sword into action, with big pistols strapped on him loaded and ready for battle. We hear Tom in an indictment which I heartily endorse: “Private charities in our country could, and would if al lowed, take care of all deserving cases. Children should not go hungry, regarlless. Able-bodied adults who depend on government and refuse to work should go hungry. It is immoral and unconstitutional for the government to gouge ' money from the rest of us to subsidize indolence, unwed 1 motherhood, crime, agricultural over-production, govern ment ‘art’ . . . When a government dispenses ‘charity,’ you can be certain that the political favorites, the Bureaucrats, and not the needy will receive most of it . . . Charity! The best way to reduce th exploitation of man by man is to embrace Christianity. The Christian tenet holds that the reformation of society begins with the individual him self, is activated by a regeneration of the spirit and main tained by faith, work and thanksgiving. Having already bought and paid for—or, more appropri ately, borrowed for—the lower classes, the Great Socialist Society has now set out to seduce the middle classes. The Congress has agreed for you to pay the rent of people mak ing up to $11,200 (in New York). The statesmen appropriat ed $6 billion to be stolen fro mthe well-to-do. This bill wa spassed in spite of the fact that the govern ment’s own figures show that more than 90 per cent of all families in the $4000 to $8000 income class are already ade quately housed. The ‘experimental’ program is set up to run 40 years, after which the Communists the nrunning the gov ernment will re-name it and continue.
