Red China Secondary In an interview on the radio program, THE BIG LIE, Cam eron gave reports that added up to this significant conclu sion: The war being waged 1 against U.

He SPECTATOR We are probably unable to visualize the problems of our high command in Vietnam, and quite naturally, as a South Carolinian, I am sure that our native son, the Supreme Com mander, is quite up to the mark. Errors, if any, must be due to the over-all Command in Washington. It does look a bit queer that our soldiers storm ed some trenches, as we have hundreds of ordinary, military planes and hundreds of heavy bombers. It is equally remarkable that we have made so little decisive progress with what would seem overwhelming force, counting equipment. At least, there must be a reason, but what is the reason? Are we kept in ignorance with some big-wig, now and then, telling us that we are making decisive advances, and what not ? Just what is what, and why and wherefore? Now and then someone de clares himself in full accord wdth the policy and the pro gram and the military achieve ments of our forces. What are the achievements ? Are our fighting men under special and hazardous restrictions that vir tually impede their progress ? Just at first blush one won ders how we would measure if at war with a real power. NEW WORLD OF SCIENCE Hottest Thing in Our Universe lished a book, “Here Is Your Enemy,” based on extensive personal observations and study within North Viet Nam, has given the clearest account of the nature of the Viet Cong enemy which the United States forces are meeting daily on the fields of battle in South Viet Nam — with rising U. S. casualties and costs. Because of the “non-beligerent” pos ture of his country and most of its press, Cameron was able said Chinese Communist are not an observable force in the running of the North Viet Nam “war of liberation.” Counting On Appeasement Cameron, under questioning, said he felt the Viet Nam war had reached the point at which the U. S. will eithei* have to win, with a different strategy from that now employed, or get out and give the victory to World Communism. He likened the Communist world - wide to talk frankly and fully with | strategy of these little “wars the Communist political and liberation” to the Hitler military leaders, and to visit ■ strategy of “one little bite af- SENATOR STRO HURMOND % Reports PEOPLE COMING OUT PARTY ON MARCH 4, 1965, Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation testi fied before Congress that the Communist Party U.SA. was moving into a new era. Hoover told the Congress that the Com munist Party was going to aban don its posture of secrecy, and attempt to create an image of respectability and legality as a “legitimate political party”. THE FULFILLMENT of this prediction was climaxed when the Communist Party UJSA., between June 22-26, 1966, held its first national convention since 1959. Party officials, who had previously admitted only that they were “party spokes men” for fear of prosecution as officers, were identified upon their re-election in their offices. THE RESURGENCE OF the Communist Party Into an organ of open and unconcealed agita tion was made possible by re cent Supreme Court decisions. The most important of these de cisions was the one of Decem ber, 1963, which reversed the conviction of the Party for fail ing to register ae required by the Internal Security Act of 1950 and the decision of No vember 15, 1965, which held that Communist Party members may exercise their constitution al “privilege” against self-ln- crimlnatlon and refuse to regis ter as required by the Internal Security Act. THE CONVENTION RE VEALED that the Communist Party U.S.A. is still, as It has been since its beginning in 1919, an instrument of the So viet Union within the United States. A delegation from the Soviet Union, headed by the editor of Pravda was appointed but was denied visas to enter the United States under the provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952. Delegates from communist par ties of Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, India and Chile did attend. VICIOUS ATTACKS against the United States, coupled with praise for the Soviet Union, marked the speeches to the convention. Gus Hall, in the keynote address, charged: “The criminal, brutal UJS. imperial ist aggression againt the people of Viet Nam is the most vidous, savage, uncivilized assault on a rami] nation in the ■nwia of human history.” Hall continued. “And just as the United States is the center of world imperial ism and reaction, the Soviet Union is the major bulwark of the forces of national liberatior and peace.” THE PROGRAM SET OU1 for the Communist Party calli for Increased political action lx the open. While the Party will continue to work primarily foi the defeat of anti-communisl candidates, it foresees sufficient success for its “respectable im age” to begin supporting popu lar front candidates and even communist candidates. Praia* was heaped on Dorothy Healy, a Communist who ran for Loa Angeles County Tax Assessor in June, 1966, who, although not elected, received 89,089 votes. THE PARTY PLACED great emphasis on its youth work, as is indicated by the fact that roughly one-third of the newly elected 80 member national committee are from the “youth group.” The Party emphasized as a priority objective its roll as the primary influence for tin “new left,” specifically the pro test movements against the UJS policies in Viet Nam, the cam pus unrest and the civil right! demonstrations. The Commun ists have advocated “Black Power” since 1959. THE PARTY SET an objec tive of convincing all fat these movements that it was short sighted to seek only change! and reforms in the social, eco nomic and political order of till United States. Efforts will con tinue to make the objective d such groups the overthrow oi democracy and free enterprise and their replacement with what the Communists call “So cialism.” THE COMMUNIST PARTY, completely subservient to the Soviet Union, enters a new phase with its “coming out party”. It wijl aggressively and openly seek allies among non communists by attempting to make Americans feel that com munism does not represent a threat to America. BEHIND THE NEW TAC TICS, the Communist Party UJSA^ will continue to train its members for a Communist revolution in America. Have we ever been favored with a clear statement of the case? Why are we there? Mil itarily what is the state of affairs at this moment? Now and then someone de clares himself at one with our fighting men, but that isn’t the point: Of course we must be supporters of our men in the field, but why are they over there? The nation is entitled to a frank and clear statement of what’s what and why and wherefore and wherewithal!. The hottest thing in our universe is a pencil-thin beam of light 100 times as intense as the light on the sun’s surface. It’s the oddly-named “laser,” one of the most exciting areas of scientific research in the world today. What is a laser? And what does ° _ it do? First of all, the name stands for •light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.” It also stands for an entirely new con ception of what light can do. The first laser went into opera tion in 1960, thereby opening up whole new possibilities for uses of light. Light became a powerful tool. It could carry messages over vast distances, perform surgery without cutting, make radar infin itely more precise, weld micro scopic wires. Even more startlingly, the intense beam of laser light could vaporize almost any known material. Multi-millions of dollars have been spent on laser research over the past five years, much of it by the United States Government. More than 400 firms are playing a part in this vital new field, and some 50 different types of lasers have been built. Of the lasers commercially available. Union Carbide markets the one with the highest power. Lasers already in use include those used for ultra-delicate sur gery. Eye specialists, for instance, have successfully performed oper ations on detached retinas in stantly and painlessly with laser beams. Industry is using lasers for microwelding and cutting, and military men everywhere are fas cinated bv laser light’s ability to vaporize steel or other tough materials. In the field of communications, laser beams may be the answer to an ever-growing quandary—the problem of over-crowded radio and TV frequencies. Experts be lieve that the day will come when laser beams will carry all messages —radio, telephone, teletypewriter and TV. The real impact of lasers will be felt within the next decade. Without a doubt, laser opens a whole new world of achievement before us. I’m a landlubber, not a sea man or sailor, but I’ve crossed the Atlantic several times, sailed up and down the At lantic and Pacific, but I’m still, no man of the sea. I’d always heard of the rich, varied and surpassingly fine food served on the passenger ships. I’ve observed people at sea eating voraciously because the meals were included in the fare and they risked sea sickness by gorging themselves because all they could eat was included in the trip expense. However, no ship of my ex perience served such fare as this account of the meals a- board the great British liner, Queen Elizabeth. If the British ship serves such a tempting array you may be sure the United States ships do equally well—at least. In part here’s the story of a recent inspection of the Queen Elizabeth, running from New York to England. “2,000 guests for dinner. Aboard the Queen Elizabeth, the largest ship afloat, passen gers dine from a menu that offers 300 choices. The mighty Queen Elizabeth moved majestically down the perfumed pineapples from Ha waii, musk-scented cantaloups from Mexico and honey-dews from Arizona. Washington State Delicious apples were nestled side by side with Eng land’s Cox’s pippins. From the Mediterranean were baskets filled with hands of tiny bananas.

Fruit flans were exactly ter another.” He said the Reds counted on being appeased, or making a “deal.” He recalled how the free world appeased the Hitler appetite until Der Fuher felt he could bluff his way to any victory. Finally he had to be halted by being crushed in defeat. Given Cameron’s and other corroborating facts on the predominance of the Soviets in North Viet Nam, the American people must naturally ask themselves — Why? Why has there been created in our na tion an atmosphere of protect ionism toward the citadel of World Communism, the USSR 7 And of course a second ques tion is: Are there any diplo matic circumstances that could possibly justify the making of what appears to be a false im age of the Soviets? Or is this another fatal blunder in U. S. foreign policy ? Questions Crying For Answers Here is an item from the May 16 issue of a national magazine: “U. S. Commanders in Vietnam still are being ad vised to soft-pedal criticism of the Reds’ military sanctuary in Cambodia from which at tacks are launched on U. S. forces.” Why soft-pedal the existence of a force killing our soldiers ? A few weeks ago in Moscow, the 23rd Congress of the Com munist Party USSR was held. It was the largest Party Con gress in Soviet history. Dele gates attended from 27 nations —4,942 Red officials dedicated to World conquest. Leonid Brezhnev reported that the Communist party in Russia had doubled its membership in the last 10 years. He and others emphasized the reestablish ment of the Stalinist (world conquest) concept, and the full venom of the Red heirarchy was vented against the United States. It is high time that our Governmental leaders in Wash ington tell the American peo ple why there is soft-pedalling of the presence in North Viet Nam of dominant Soviet mili tary leadership — and what gain can possibly be achieved by ignoring the whole charac ter of the enemy. of Liberty and through the Narrows to the sea. Mighty, 1 this Queen, a token of Eng land’s pride. She is the largest passenger ship afloat, averag ing five city blocks long, and from keel to masthead as tall as a 20-story building. The Queen is elegance from bow to stern; her menu is no exception. Continental dishes lead the list but there are the tradition al English specialti(!S, the Am erican favorites, too. There were well over 300 items list ed for choice. At the dining room entrance was a promise of the gustatory thrills to come. A 20-foot table loaded to the guards displayed the good things of the day, the York ham, the English leg of Jamb. The table glowed with the scarlet of crab, the pink of planked salmon and jumbo shrimp, the gold of pineapples, grapefruit, melons. Two silver bowls held apples, oranges and grapes in lovely pyramids of color. Noble the roast beef, all crisp and brown in its juicy succulence. Shellacked in a shiny glaze the Long Island duckling, roast chicken and turkey. The English cheeses made an impressive showing: Stilton, White Cheshire, Red Cheshire, Wemsley-dale.: Dow ager’ cakes—rich and gorg eous. The six kitchens and store rooms of the Queen, we were told, measure half an acre. There are 150 trained workers employed in food preparation. Over 2,000 top-quality food items are stocked for each five day sailing. The main kitchen was a place of frenzied industry. Or ders coming in. Orders going out. Adjoining were the smaller kitchens, one for the prepara tion of salads. Fifteen different salads^ plate-arranged ready to serve, a great patch of color. One could live on a varied diet of canapes, 60 kinds daily. There was the kosher kitchen, the diet foods kitchen—no salt, no sugar, no fat. Every brand of baby food was stocked. Storekeeper H. Lester Har wood has an inventory of over 2,000 items. Here was every thing from staples to a multi tude of rare and toothsome dainties. I counted 30 varities of biscuits and as many sauces, chutneys, relishes, marmalades. The caviar was under lock in a refrigerated cabinet. No less than 120 pounds of Beluga is used each crossing. An exciting fragrance as sailed the nose. The heavy door opened to the fruit department. Gathered together were the many kinds of fruits that the climates and the markets of the earth produce. There were as they have been enjoyed on the continent of Europe for more than 13 centuries. Chief butcher John Garrett, 12 years on the Elizabeth, proudly showed us the con tents of the cold rooms; fresh calves' liver, broiler chickens, fresh legs of pork, guinea hens, veal, English hind quarters of lamb, beef for hamburger, beef for roasting, ox tails, tongues and calves’ brains. Pigeons waited to be popped into the oven. Game in season. Great pans of bones for the stock pots. Eggs! Count them! 64,- 800 eggs! Travelers are from every where. Just as varied are their tastes. Habits change but al ways beef is the most popular meat. During a typical summer voyage the Queen Elizabeth serves 21,000 pounds of beef. Although the ways of prepar ing beef are legion, there are certain favorites. First in de mand roast beef accompanied by Yorkshire pudding, sauer- braten with German potato pancakes, Beef Stroganoff with noodles, curried beef with steamed rice. The Americans want steak, fried chicken and lobster. The English favor beef, lamb, and Dover Sole. The French are inclined toward veal and chick en. They love Surrey capons and their own butterball chick ens. ” SPORTS AFIELD By Ted Resting Probably the most important, development of recent years in pointing-dog training aids is the “call-back” trap for quail,! says H. P. Davis, Sporting Dog j Editor of Sports Afield maga zine. Modern methods have simplified the rearing and keeping of bobwhite quail, and i this comparatively new trap 1 will enable either the amateur or the professional to use the same birds over and over in a limited training area. The trap is simple in construction. A sturdy wooden frame is cov ered (top, bottom and sides) with hardware cloth of close- woven predatorproof wire. En trance tunnels on both sides, flush with the sides but ex tending inward, lead into the trap. They are placed low en ough to the ground to permit the birds to enter easily, but high enough on the inside to prevent them from using it to escape. A wooden closure board is fastened abovd the tunnel so that the entrance may be closed to prevent the entry of cats and other pred ators. One end of the trap is covered to protect against the elements. An access gate is fixed at the other 'end. The trap is usually placed in a fairly open area, conven iently close to the kennel so that (he trainer can easily look after it, providing feed and water at regular intervals. Some dozen or 15 quail are placed in the pen. The num ber depends on the size of the pen—they must not be too crowded. The trap can be posi tioned permanently or easily moved from place to place, as the trainer desires. The quail can be removed from the pen, capture being made chrough the use of a a small luxury boat and the Imperator was a vast ship used as a troop ship. I may tell you that the Im perator, as a troop ship, had no such tempting dainties as the great passenger boats in time of peace, although I must admit that the dining room far surpassed any mess ever con trived to make a soldier will ing to die in battle rather than be faced with army food. Is There a “Bzzzz” in Your Backyard^ BZZZZZZ! IN YOUR EAR. There goes another restful afternoon on the patio spoiled by a pesky mosquito dive-bombing at. your head! Where do they come from? No ponds in your backyard, where the little devils could spawn? Look again. A child's pail, or wagon left outside with barely an inch of water is enough "pond” to breed a battalion of mosquitoes. Chemical specialties manu facturers ASSOCIATION (CSMA) recommends that chemical con trol is essential if you want to In sure your home, backyard and neighborhood are rid of these pesky little bzzzers! There are many excellent products that you can use. They come in convenient home spray dispensers. But when it comes to spraying mosquito con trol chemicals in large areas such as parks, beaches be sure to call in qualified personnel. These men can be located by calling your county agents or state agricultural extension services. Warm weather is mos quito control time. There are three ways every member of the family can help rid the community of these annoying and sometimes disease-bear ing midget marrauders 1 breed ing places. A) Maintain a program of ganaral cleanli ness, such as keeping trash cans covered, clean and water free. Remove all containers that might collect water. B) Eliminate surface water. Drain and clean catch basins, roof guttbrs.^^- small net, and the birds "plant ed” or released singly. Or the trainer may desire to drive a number of the birds from the pen at a time, allowing them to fly in any direction they desire. Then he can work his dog or dogs on them in a manner closely duplicating nat ural hunting conditions. Unless the trainer desires to shoot one or two birds over the dogs, no effort is made to recapture them. After the trainer returns his dogs to the kennel and things get quiet again, the quail remaining in the pen wll lure the released birds -back to the trap by calling them. Hence the name “call-back” trap.” At nightfall the trainer returns to the trap and closes the entrance tunnels, thus pre venting predators from enter ing and killing the birds. This type of trap, or release pen, has proved very satisfact ory for both amateur and pro fessional trainers. Anyone who is handy with tools can easily make it. Only a moderate am ount of care is needed, though feed and fresh water must be provided regularly. Through its use the trainer can "have his cake and eat it too.” It can be used to good advan tages in a very small area. Re leased quail usually do not. fly far, particularly if cover is nearby. Some do wander off occasionally, but comparatively few are lost. The remaining birds miss their pen mates and are generally quite vociferous in trying to call them back— usually with success. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Epting^ and son, Scott, spent several days of their vacation last week at Myrtle Beach. Quite a ship, eh? Some years ago I was in New York when the great ship Imperator ar rived on her first trip from Europe. Mrs. Breedin and I went aboard just to look at the boat. So many people wan ted to look over the Imperator that a charge of 50c a person was made just to go on board and look it over. Two German ships, the Im perator and the Leviathan were the largest boats then at sea. Both ships were taken over by our Government and carried many thousands of American soldiers to and from France. I little thought I should ever travel on the Imperator. But one day I was ordered to return home on the Cap Finis- terre—a much smaller ship. I went to the dock at Brest, France, and saw the great Im perator at anchor in the har bor and thought how I would like to come home on that great boat. But the army can change its mind very quickly. I was scheduled to go to France on a very fast ship and at day break I was shunted to the Maui, a luxury boat, but small and rough. So, likewise at the last moment 750 of us were shunted to the Imperator and I came to Hoboken on it. What a change!
