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.

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.

nestled side by side with Eng
land’s Cox’s pippins. From the
Mediterranean were baskets
filled with hands of tiny
bananas.
Beautiful the vegetables:
fresh tender asparagus, egg
plants, beets, little white boiler
onions, great bunches of crisp
green water cress, baskets of
mushrooms.

ovens. 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.

The Queen is elegance from

Continental dishes lead the
list but there are the tradition

were well over 300 items list

A 20-foot table loaded to the

The table glowed with the
scarlet of crab, the pink of

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

The main kitchen was a
place of frenzied industry. Or

There was the kosher kitchen,

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

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

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

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! Hie Maui was
