PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1966 Looking A head \ ...by Dr. G«org* S. Ben»on PRESIDENT-NATIONAL EDUCATION .-ROGRAM S*arcy, Arkanw* REDS AT WORK: RIOTING The U. S. Senate’s Subcom mittee on Internal Security has supplied some of the docu mentation showing that care fully planned Communist acti vities within the United States have been a powerful force in stirring up the “open housing” rioting in a score of northern cities. The Subcommittee of 9 Senators, including six Demo crats and three Republicans, pointed out the following facts in a recent report: “Previous studies of Cuba have concentrated mainly on the Cuban threat to our Latin American neighbors. However, U. S. territory is being pro gressively threatened as well. Actual assaults on the United States and its institutions be gan as early as November 17, 1962. On that date several Cu bans were arrested and charg ed with attempted sabotage of oil refineries in New Jersey and retail stores in New’ York city .... Then there is the start ling case of February 16, 1965, in which three American Ne groes and a Canadian woman were seized in a plot to blow up cherished symbols of Ameri can heritage—the Statue of Liberty, the Washington mon ument, and the Liberty Bell. All were Castroites. Inciting Force And Violence “Interrogation turned up the fact that the ringleader, Robert S. Collier, not only had travel ed to Cuba illegally wdth the 84 so-called ‘students’ in Aug ust of 1964, but while there had received instructions in ter roristic tactics from a major in the North Vietnamese army. Walter A. Bowe, aonther plot ter, w’as revealed to have been a member of the Castro-financ- ed“Fair Play for Cuba Com mittee.’ Both had been in con tact wdth Robert Williams, an American renegade Negro, pre sently a fugitive from North Carolina justice as a result of a riot w’hich occurred in Mon roe, N. C. on August 27, 1961. “During the past few years, he (Williams) has been con ducting a series of broadcasts beamed to the United States from Havanna. These broad casts openly call upon Ameri can Negroes to engage in force and violence against the Am erican Government.. Williams is also author of a pamphlet en titled ‘Negroes With Guns,’ published by a Communist pub lishing house in the l . S. A.! Spreading Terrorism “Williams’ berserk anti-Am ericanism should not be lightly dismissed as something unchar acteristic and irrelevent . . . New York Police Commissioner Michael J. Murphy revealed that the terrorists (with whom Williams was working) had contacts in other cities with a view toward spreading terror ism throughout the country.” The Communist strategists always have considered the U. S. Negro population (now 20,000,000) as their most fertile field for fomenting riots, civil strife and, ultimately, revolu tion. Their strategy manuals are full of it. They have work ed hard to arouse Negroes, and their trained revolution aries have been found at the scenes of “open housing” riots —in spite of what individual or “Civil Rights” organization may have been leading the “non-violent” beginnings. To Destroy Western Civiliza tion Stokely Carmichael, head of the Student Non-violent Coor dinating Committee (Snick), told UPI on Aug. 5: “When you talk of black power, you talk of bringing this country to is knees to its knees. When yo utalk of black power, you black power, you talk of build ing a movement that will smash everything Western civilization has created.” Carmichael, who has been featured on many na tionwide television programs, called upon Negroes to defy the law if drafted. “Any black man who fights in this country’s ar my,” he said, “is a black mer cenary.” Whatver his connec tions may be, this man’s preach ings obviously are in harmony with the Communists “line.” Claude Lightfoot of Chicago, longtime Communist leader, told the 18th national conven tion of the Communist Party USA in secret session just 90 days ago that the party must “elevate (intensify) its role as the iniatator of civil rights struggles.” Other Red officials called for more open and di rect actions in the “Negro struggle” and more incitement against “Police brutality” in Negro communities. FBI Director Hoover, report ing to Congress on the recent IS COMMUNISM AN “INTERNAL THREAT”? Even the most Liberal ob- I servers - will admit that Com- I ! munism has done much to change the world since 1917. | One need only have a look 1 at a man. Communism has | * 1 taken over Russia, Eastern Europe, mainland China, and j Cuba. Communists are part of i the agitation and unrest in i Asia and Africa and Latin Am- ' erica. And the war in Vietnam, no matter what one may think | of it, is evidence that Com munism is causing the USA some rather critical problems today. It is possible to engage al most anyone in a conversation | about the Communist world- | wide campaign. This “external j threat” is what the Cold war | is all about, and is the reason we maintain a multi-million dollar defense program. But anyone who suggests that the Reds may be endangering us from WITHIN our borders is labeled as an “extremist” who 1 is wont to imagine that a Com- , munist lurks under his bed. To discuss this important question of “threats,” external and internal, the Manion For um summoned an expert on subversion to its microphone. Our guest could hardly be lab eled as an “extremist.” He is employed by the U. S. Senate and has one of the levelest heads in Washington. Tie is J. G. Sourwine, Chief Counsel for the Senate Internal Subcom mittee. “Why is the Communist par ty a menace ? Why is it a dan ger to the internal security of the United States? First,” said Mr. Sourwine, “because the Communist party, U.S.A., is part of an international con- Communist convention, said: “The Party wants to link work | among Negroes more directly with the class struggle — to turn the civil rights area into a hatchery for Communism.” Again I wish to emphasize that the vast majority of American Negroes will not knowingly aid the Communists; but the Reds count on using them by stirring up mass hatred and guiding it through mob psychology. Next week: J. Edgar Hoov er’s report. spiracy, centrally headed, and with a main objective of taking over all the free countries of theworld and subjecting all the peoples of the world to Com munist dictatorship. “Secondly, because the Com munist party disciplines its people, trains them in propa- i ganda, knows what its objec- | tives are, and is able to exert an influence far greater than the proportion of its numbers. “Are all Communists spies? Of course not. The major dan ger of the Communist party in this ciuntry is in subversion of policy and in subversion of public thought. “In other words, through its success in its various propa ganda objectives, the Commun ist party achieves its greatest successes against the free world. ” Which is to say that YOU, Mr. and Mrs. America, are the targets of Communism—U.S.A. and International. They do not wish you to become Commun ists; their aim is to help form your thoughts and opinions on such subjects and Viet Nam and “civil rights.” And American Reds have free rein to pursue these prop aganda objectives within our borders. Our security laws are NOT preventing them from waging this determined cam paign to seduce the American mind. For details of precisely how the Reds are left to propagan dize and infiltrate public op inion, write the Manion Forum for broadcast No. 625. And watch this column next week.

ACTION - NOT WORDS Vote November 8th DEEDS - NOT PROMISES Elect ALBERT J. DOOLEY XS? SENATOR LEXINGTON - NEWBERRY - SALUDA COUNTIES SEAT No. 1 Zip coding be given boost Residents of the Newberry area will be offered an oppor tunity to zip code their mailing lists during October, Postmas ter Harry E. Moose announced today. Letter carriers wdll deliver “no postage needed” cards to each of the city and rural resi dential delivery stops beginning October 10, the postmaster said. The cards will have blanks for addresses used most often, but for which individuals do not know the proper zip codes. “This is a good time to get the zip codes missing from your lists,” Postmaster Moose noted. “This Christmas, zip code will be as important as shopping and mailing early for the efficient and on-time deliv ery of the record breaking ava lanche of mail expected in the pre-holiday weens. ” After filling in the street number or rural route and box number, city and state, the cards are to be mailed back to the postmaster. Post office per sonnel will add the proper zip codes and return the cards to the sender. President Johnson has pro claimed October 10-15 as “Zip Code Week” to promote great er usage of zip code. Postmaster General O’Brien announced May 19 that steps were being taken to make zip codes more accessible to the mailing public. The present program resulted from a search for the most effective method to get the codes in the hands of private mailers. A poll con ducted by Elmo Roper and As sociates earlier this year found that about half the population is using zip code, of the remain ing half who are not, 80 per cent said the reason w r as that they did not know the zip codes for the people to whom they write. Addresses which cannot be zip coded because of insufficient or improper addresses will be forwarded to the city indicated on the card, if legible, and the codes will be added there. Only addresses, not names of correspondents, should be list ed on the cards. SPORTS SEASON HERE; IS YOUR AUTO IN SHAPE? The sound of lively march ing bands is being heard at football stadiums across the state these weekends as King Football makes his annual autumn appearance. As sports fans build up their enthusiasm for favorite teams, the State Highway Depart ment hopes that some of the same enthusiasm for safe driving will become apparent. With the days getting shorter now, and hazardous driving conditions such as rain, fog, and dafkness becoming more prevalent, Additional care is required to prevent accidents. Besides using extra caution in driving, * Highway spokes men suggest that each motor ist give his vehicle a fall checkup to make sure it is in good mechanical condition for the tough winter ahead. Items which should be c|hecked include: brake fluid level, brake adjustment, storage battery, windshield wipers, all window glass, tire tread and general conditions, muffler and tailpipe, heater- defroster, headlights, tail lights and turn signals. Extra equipment for some areas might include tire chains for snow and ice. An easy operating and safe jack is essential for those times when tire trouble causes emergency repairs. Motorist cannot control traffic conditions or the kind of roads over which they must travel, but they can make sure their automobiles are safe. Lake Murray Waterfront Lots.

Letters to the Editor Editor The Sun: It has become a national pastime for people to criticize big government and politicians. This being an election year, w r e have an opportunity and priv ilege to do more than criticize. We have a chance to act. The power of the vote is still the w’eapon most feared by those who seek to erode our free doms one by one. I personally feel that you should not only support your convictions by your vote, but should also contribute your time and energy to help ad vance the candidate who stands for the same ideals and con victions. For this reason I have actively campaigned for my candidate. In 1958 I supported Fritz Hollings in his campaign for Governor. In 1962 I again sup ported Fritz Hollings in his bid for the U. S. Senate. In both campaigns my actions were motivated by a firm con viction that his ideals and principles were the same as mine. During the primary this year countless people asked why I was not actively campaigning. They reminded me that I had supported Fritz in two cam paigns and wanted to know why I was remaining silent this time. I gave no explana tion at that time because I did not want to influence the out come between Fritz and his primary opponent. The reason I did not cam paign for Fritz in the primary is very simple, I plan to vote for Marshall Parker in Nov ember. This decision is based upon a firm conviction that Marshall Parkers ’ideals are much near er my own than are those of Fritz, especially his 1966 ideals. In order to win the 1966 pri mary, Fritz has aligned him self with certain individuals, groups, and factions with whom I cannot join forces. I remin ded Fritz that many of these are the same people he exposed as unsavory characters and 1 condemned when they support- i ed his opponents in the past. I asked him, “How r could we tell the public in other elections that these people were evil and now explain that we welcome them and their support, when everyone knows they are just as crooked in 1966 as they were in the past?” His answer was remarkable. He said, “Fred, four years ago we v/ere defeated by 100,000 votes. This year we plan to be elected.” I WILL NOT COMPROMISE MY CONVICTIONS SIMPLY TO GAIN SUPPORT FOR A CANDIDATE. Recently many people have asked whether there is really a connection between Fritz and Bobby Kennedy, I have my own convictions in this matter, but will not attempt to prove them. Whether or not Fritz is receiv ing support from Bobby Ken nedy, he is receiving support from some people in South Car olina who are just as unsavory as Bobby Kennedy. These peo ple will not support a candidate unless they expect to reap „ a bountiful harvest for their ef forts. They do not labor for conviction or ideals, but for money and power. If Fritz is elected in Nov ember he will go to Washing ton with “both hands tied be hind his back.” He will not be able to serve the people of S, C. until he has first served those who have promoted him. I am not mad at Fritz nor seeking revenge in any way. It is a crushing feeling to see someone you have admired for many years for courage and wisdom suddenly compromise and, simply to win an election, join forces with those he has condemned in the past. I hope that Fritz will soon realize the tragedy of his actions and re turn to his former stand for principle and honor. Defeat can be accepted if convictions have not been com promised, but victory can be bitter if it has been won at the cost of all principles. Sincerely, Fred F.
