BY THE WAY (Continued from Pago 1) was to be a cry against national defense, and a charge that our military men are “war-mong ers’*. All of this was found, 45 years ago, in documented form, when a communist convention was raided in Michigan. Does it oc cur to you that the cohununists have gone pretty far down the road towards achieving their goals? Communism was a relatively new concept in those days, but there were men of vision then who were able to foresee its perils. One of them was Dr. William B. Bizzell, then presi dent of Texas A&M College, who addressed the Dallas County Teachers’ Institute in 1922 and warned that “Red radicalism is stalking over the prairies of Tex as.” Harvard University was sel ected by the communists as one of its breeding grounds. In his book, Richard Whitney publish ed the text of a letter written by President Theodore Roose velt to a prominent law profes sor at Harvard. Roosevelt be gan his letter to the professor as follows: “I thank you for your frank letter. I answer it at length because you have tak en and are taking. . .an attitude which seems to me to be funda mentally that of Trotsky and the other Bolskeviki leaders in Russia, an attitude which may be fraught: with mischief to this country.” And who was the professor? His name was Felix Frankfurt er, who was later, in 1939, to be appointed to the U. S. Su preme Court by another Roose velt—a Court which scholars of the law now agree has made hash of the U. S. Constitution. Richard Whitney’s book. Reds in America, proves that the leaders of America have known, or should have known, for at least 45 years, the plan and the strategy of the communists for destroying this republic. And now that it is happening, we ask: How did it happen? As Edmund Burke said: Good men sat silent. That’s how. JESSE HELMS WRAL-TV HAPPY BIRTHDAY July 27: Mrs. D. D.

Roberts, County Savings Bonds Chairman. In the state, total sales of the Bonds and Notes amounted to $2,310,821, according to Robert G. Clawson,. state chairman of the U. S. Savings Bonds Com mittee. Mr. Roberts was today quer ied about the recent Treasury request to Congress to remove the interest rate ceiling on Sav ings Bonds and other govern ment securities. According to Mr. Roberts, “If the legislative request is ap proved, the interest rate on Ser ies E and H Savings Bonds will be raised from the current 4.25 percent to 5 percent, if held to maturity. The increase would be retroactive to June 1, 1969. All outstanding E and H Bonds would also benefit from the new 5 percent rate, beginning with the first semi-annual interest period which starts on or after June 1. Series E Bonds will have the maturity period reduced from 7 years to 5 years, 10 months. H Bond maturity will remain at 10 years. Both E and H Bonds would enjoy an automatic ex tension period. The present 5 percent rate on Freedom Shares would continue unchanged until they are removed from sale 6 months after the proposed legis lation becomes law. Authority to extend Freedom Shares at maturity is included in Treas ury’s request. Mr. Roberts said that the Treasury’s proposal “should give new impetus to the Savings Bond Program throughout our area. While Savings Bonds have always been a good buy, the rate increase will make them even more attractive to the members of our communi ties who have been putting aside dollars regularly, through payroll savings plans or over- the-counter purchases at their banks, saving for a new home, farm improvements, an automo bile, college for the children or a retirement nest egg”.
