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

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.

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.

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. Re
search shows that plants actually
: absorb and use the sun’s red and
blue light energy. This light is
! what plant chlorophyll needs to
;turn water and carbon dioxide
^Jinto sugars and starches for
growth. Jg/
To grow beautiful flowering
or non flowering plants in a
sunless area, Syfvania Gro-
Lux* fluorescent lamps pro
vide all the red and blue
light energy needed to stim
ulate and maintain growth.
They use ; no more electricity
than standard fluorescents.
Gro-Lux units are ready
made or you can design
your own decorative
ideas by building them
into bookcases, hutch
cabinets or room divid
ers. Brighten up a room
by creating a “flowery

Opening lead: jack of spades.
East won the lead with the ace
of spades and returned the queen
of diamonds. South took the trick
with the ace, sluffed a heart on
the king of spades and trumped
a small spade in the dummy.
Two clubs from the closed hand
were then sluffed on the ace and
king of hearts and South re
turned to the closed hand with
the king of clubs, trumped his
last spade in the dummy, took
the ace of clubs and returned to

THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN
I grow weary of our politics, especially the National poli
tical manipulation said to bein the interest of the people. 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.
How to fatten your dollars for market
Dollars you invest with us are “growth dollars”...
fattened by excellent earnings year after year after
year. Because these dollars work harder, you can make
major family purchases, such as a car, easier.
It’s smart to buy with “growth dollars.” Stop in.
Open a savings account with us, where your dollar
works harder...grows bigger...buys more.
