ATTACK OH I.-AlI}I--A-ilT*.IGA7I OOPL»!U1~1ISTS BY I-LADPJD PAPER
Followine is data confidentially supplied by a reporter with a good record of
credibility:
The
interestfollowing article, which appears to have originated with a Madrid newspapz
"Arriba,' has been widely reprinted in Central America and has attracted considers?
and attention.
"Madrid, April 194?:
"The North American senator, Mr. Vandenber;, has recendly received a deluge of
letters denouncing Communist activities in Central America and the Antilles,
"In Cuba, there has been discovered e dnnzerous Comintern center, in Haiti
several Communist agents have been held, in Nicaragua, during the recent elections,
activities of Bolshevique sic! origin were noted, and Mexico continues as one
of Stalin's principal points of support.
"In
visit to
has also
HondurasMexico, the Communists even took advantage of President Truman's recent
that country to manifest their opposition towards the United States. Ther
been news regordin: mysterious eras shipments is southern Mexico, in Briti
and in other points in Central America, There have been unmistakable
Uoumunist disturbances in Trinidad and in other British islands in the Caribbean.
All this indicates once more that "Moscow points towards Panama and those lan
wnich are the weakest point in our belt," as writes one of the most important
American newspaper writers in pugilistic language.
Qpncrete denunciations have been made recently by the ex-President of Guaten
ceneral*Ponce, declaring iron his enile in Mexico that there exists a vast Gon-
munist'plen to take over Central America, in which the present_Cbnmhnist government
of Guatemala will play an important role, He points to the_r§bent'discovereies of
contraband arms as part of the Moscow plot to overthrow the governments of Honduras
El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, ," '
Even though the article in question, issued by the United Press, did not
expressly say so, we know that General Ponce accuses the Guatemalan ambassador inWashington, GarciayGranados, of being the representative of the Kremlin in all
these actions, 1 s I N.
oft iral
them and; ¢~This accusation dais not surprise us, as Garcia Granados:is an intimate frien
and Alvarer del Vayo. At Lake Success he acted ae intermediary between
the Soviet delegation, taking pre-eminence even overr£angeand~Manuilski
is the attacks on Sain, These details take on importance and confinn to a certain
extent General Ponce'e accusations.

!Mnrtinez, were he rst chiefs of sivte in the "Qrl to recognize diplomatically
Franco's rover: . K, l '
"Infuristed at such an attitude, the then chief of the Comintern, Dimitrov,
declared in an interview with the Mexican Communist, Perez Chavez: '1 can assure
you that those two Fascists in Gustuaala and El Salvador will pay dearly for their
proFranco attitude. A few months later, the police of Guatemala discovered tha'
Dimitrev's threat was not Just verbal. He received information from Mexico regan
ing'Garcia Grenades efforts to overthrow»Ubico andMartinez and their regimes,
"The activities of Granados in 1944 took Uhico by surprise, obligating him tr
abdicate, Ponce replacing him. There was an armed uprising against Ponce's goverl
ment, makinf Garcia Granados president of the legislative assembly as well as chi.
of the country.
"Granados' first political act was to break off relations with Spain. At th~
same time his crcny, Romero, attempted a similar action in El Salvador, Martinez
also fell, but the new president of that Republic, Castaneda Castro, was able to
stamp out the act before it could take shape.
"Garcia Granados is today his country: ambassador:in Whshington and its del<
before the United Nations, He was the key man in all the actions against Spain.
As was so in league with those circles that an American newspaperman mistook him
for a member of the Russian delegation and Mrs,P§oosevelt though he was one of
Giril's ministers,
"From the North American capital, he continues to dominate Guatemala through
puuuete. In all asnects, the life of the small country reflects his instructions.
The new constitution makes life impossible for the church, against which has been
unleashed a wave of persecution, Terror is becoming common among the inflamed
Indians, with Marzist slogans the order of the day, The Communist cancer has bem
allowed to grow there,
"Though late, Garcia Granados has accomplishedFDimitroY's designs. The coun"
lives in a constant state of insecurity and today sighs for the iron hand of Gene
Ubico, pictured once as a dictator and fascist, and new dead in exile, This is o:the beginning. The plans aim towards the inclusion of all Centrfl America.
"During the time of the celebrated Mexican president, ElieslCalles, the famot
Alexandra Kollontoy sic! was the Soviet ambassador in Mexico, the mother of
indianistic communism and promoter of thee famous intimate gatherings at her
chalet in the oolonia San Miguel. There the Red Siren, dressed_ae'a China Poblanu
toasted her guests, a multitude of artists, pampered composers and youthful
intcllectmfis with political ambitions, with vodka, whiskey, cissrsttss. suhtfvl
women and caviar canapes. Among the pleasures were good_quantities of Communist
doctrine, _"';-

Tennessee has an epidemic of lawlessness directed at union organizers.

Amalgamated clothing Iorksrs representative, tomeek protection in the City Hall.
Ihen the Mayor made the crowd and Pinnegar leave the building about 2 A.H., he
was taken across the state line to Fulton, Kentucky, and made to give up his brief
cases and papers. ' Though he was threatened with death if he failed to produce
names of workers who had signed unionoarde, his appeals to officers for protection
were in vain.
In Sparta hast spring leading citizens took Ed Blair of the Amalgamated
from his hotel room, carried him out of town and warned him not to return. When
I was there shortly afterwards to see some of these citizens,one of them, a bahkor,
itold me that local people met sometimes take law into their own hands, even
Federal law, and that vigilsntes serve a useful purpose.
There are other cases of this kind. Failure to apprehend and punish per-
sons who violate state and federal laws is encouraging fresh outbreaks. The
only rcnedy is_for_th'I_.DBP8-rilnent of- Justice to take steps to show that civil
liberties must be maintained in Tennessee. "

Mr, J, Edgar Hoover
Federal Bureau of Investiqation
Jashington, U, C,
ueur 3ir:
You are right about the great number of communists in the U.o. and
1 sometimes wonder if you realize hon great the number.actually is,
The street I live on is close to Lindberg field and the San Diego
Boy, The activities on the water and the air field are clearly
visible from most of the buildings in this area. 1 have reason to
believe that a great many communists are concentrated here in
homes, rental units and places of business.
Communists have a code thru which they communicate one to the other,
n combination of names and numbers and plainly phrased messages.
The names of communists in important positions are known to a
fairly lre number of the lesser communists thruont the country,
Anything the big wiqs have to say thru the newspapers, radio, etc,,
is coefully considered by all the others for any messaje it may
contain.
ine must fer weeks the nunher six has been croypln; up with a
monotonous insistence, I believe it refers to the three which, as
you know is the labor unions - the politicians unu the military
forces. I believe the six is being repeatedly sounded to warn the
rank and file communists lnSt double-crossing the "D". I shall
cite a few examples,I.
After Truman hroadcasted to the nation Normjnkgatey l'm not sureof the Spelling of his name! came on the ai in his usual broad-
cast of 'Jorld News" at 8:15 P.m. Twice he significantly mentioned
the number six in referring to the parts of Truman's speech which
accused mussia, Untey went on the air so soon after lruman that
unless he had fore knowledge of the contents of Truman's speech it
is'nt likely he would havebeen able to sum up the speech the way
he did. It is mo"e than just possible that matey is a communist
cerrie . There is no doubt that Truman and his speech writer arebotgrégmmunists, working for hussia and not for the Avrian P9°P1egw'§ e F: W his he to be impeached? ' '

NEW YORK ACTIVITIES, om BY DAY
Appeared July 25! 1950 BY Charles 8. Driscoll
NEW 1'08-K'1"he mall, old
and new, needs looking into.
It's been rum: up here for
Dome time.
Eigia Koontz, my most regu-
lar Wichita interment. sends
me news oi the passing oi an
old friend of the Iamily, J. P.
Weigand. real estate dealer, at
the age oi 76. This brings mem-
ories.
when 1 was a college student
and newspaper carrier, the
Weiganrt home. a small cottage
on North Ernporia avenue, was
a customer. It was a humble
place. owned by a couple oi
elderly maiden ladies, and rent-
ed to Mr. Weigand. 1 threw the
paper onto the Iront porch each
morning, before daylight.
CA Co
ONE SUNDAY morning. when
the paper was particularly
heavy and I felt vigorous, I
threw the paper through the
front window, large, square,
plate glass. l92'0. not quite
through. The paper broke thewindow and dropped to the
porch Iloor.
I called the Iollowing eve-
ning and expressed my regrets.
as well as willingness to make
restitution. Mr. Weigand said
that he had not known what
had broken the window, as it
seemed hardly probable that a
mere newspaper could do it.
and the iamily had_ slept
through the incident.
Q Q;
HE KNEW THAT I had no
money and was working my
way through school. But the
old ladies who owned the place
made him replace the window.
I suppose they collected insur-
ance, too.
Weigand. out of mnsidera-
tion for my nancial condition.
replaced the plate glass with
double-strength Window glass,
which cost hall as much. Then
he told me that I need pay no
cash. I could deliver the paper
tree that was 10 cents a week!
until the bill was paid. It lig-
ured out 160 weeks ot tree de-livery. butthat was a bargain
tor me. I1 he had been tough.
I would have been sunk.
When I gave up my route to
take a job as reporter. I paid
the balance in cash.
Whenever I returned to the
home town. in later years, Wei-
gand was among the welcom-
ers. He always told me how it
hurt him to have to collect that
window damage from me. He
was a just and gentle-hearted
man. and may God give him
rest.
COMES A package of
tomatoes, in perfect condition.
by air express. from Friend
Rob Stough, Fort Smith, Ark.
This is the ideal way to get
ripe tomatoes, two days after
picking. or perhaps some hours
less than two days. These to-
matoes weigh about two pounds
apiece. and the Ilesh is juicy
red. I'll have to ask Rob what
kind oi iertilizerhe uses to
bring up such tremendous
morsels.

tion that candidates must cater to union
eosses "carries a veiied threat, which I do
not like He added: '
The office for which I am ti candidate
is properly called a United States repre-
sentative. I feel that a man holding that
office should consider the general welfare
of the whole nation above the benefits of
certain groups. If a man holds a United
States office, his first loyalty should be to
his country." .
There has been voluminous talk in re-
cent years about "welfare." Here is a man
smart enough and courageous enough to
interpolate the word "general," as it is
written in the Constitution. All the pro-
posals of the "welfare state" thus far pro-
moted have been in the interest of pres-
sure groups and not of the whole people.
We are shy about predicting the political
fate of Candidate Abbott, but we wish him
well and would like to vote for him. "

My dear Friend:Y8 TOWN. NEBRASKA
. Almost everyone I meet asks the same question: "Where do your boys come from,
' and why are they at Boys Town?"
Our boys, of course, come from everywhere - from every State and section of
the Country - and they are of all races
We bring them to Boys Tenn becauseand religious creeds.

friends. Many of them, either through death or divorce, have lost life's greatest
gift - their parents. Some are boys from the streets - intelligent, daring - who
made a mistake or two because no one cared, and were labelled "tough guys" or "bad
boys". Others have hitchhiked to get here, seeking a home and an education; and
some are the victims of the casualties of the last World War.
Boys Town is father, mother and hams to all of these forgotten, homeless boys.
Md give them good food, wanm clothing, and help them adjust to normal living.
They attend our own schools, and learn e trade in our fine Trade School; they engage
in --;letics with hundreds of other boys; they study music, and occupy their spare
time with many other recreational activities and hobbies for which facilities are
pPuVld¬d.' They also perfonm certain chores required of every boy living in the
average, well regulated American home. Our boys conduct their own government by
clotting a mayor and other city officials twice each year.

things as the atom Bomb or war preparations. Mhckenzie, the British
Delegate, vctcl against these proposals on the grounds that Fascism
today is old fashioned, therefore, the UN must not take a position
against thatt
" Now, the issue that has boon p1aced'in the UN
is that cf th; warmongering that is rampant to!ay- - - ¢ . There is
warmengcring in the United States and this warmcngcring is being
5PT@ad by the highest official circles in our country. It woul
be impossible to deny it. Mad dog Earle, the Former Governor of
ronnsylvania, has the fullest leeway not only in the press of this
country, but on the radio. He speaks every week about dropping the
- atomic Bomb now on the Kremlin and all other sections of the Soviet
Union. Or that notorious American Legion Convention that took place
in New York City, just some weeks ago, which was a stench in the _
nostrils of ail decent Americans and which revolted n"st Americans
because of the extremes to which they went in Red ba;tin5 and w3r_
monqering. Or such a writer like UALTERJWINCHELL in his radio broai-
casts every week. we might say that, well, you can't expect very
much of these sensationalists, after all, they don't represent the
official circles, etc, But what does HlNCHELL say about the been
that was published tw: days ago by former Secretary of State BYE
cne of the most prominent people in this country ani one who repro-
sents official policy of the Government in this country? The program
that he put forwar advocates breaking up the Council of foreign
ministers, form a separate peace with Germany as HOOVER advooatei
a year and a half ago, and advocatinq that the Red Army be driven
out by force.
Well, it is quite clear why American delegates

just a few days ago President TRUMAN had a press conference and he
talked about price control and didnlt he say the very same thing
about that and if you have price control in this country you would
be doing away with a free state, you would be introducing a police

" Se I tell you that it is ironical that Mrs-
ROOSEVELT was chosen because of the fact of her long liberal and
progressive background and because she is the wife of the great
lamented Prc.-siient ROOSEVELT; because President ROOSEHLT had a
different policy with respect to warmongers, with respect to Fascists
and aggression and we find that policy he expressed it in his famous
slcran, Q1131-Intining the Aggressdr '. At the time in this world
when the Fascist aggrossors threakn the peace and security of the
world, President ROOSEVELT didn't say that they had the right to do -
that - that they had the right to propagate their warmongerinq ideas,

" Well, it is well recognized in our country that
when there is a disease and when there is an epidemic we take stops

like that - "that we shouldn't take quarantine measures be-

ROOSEVELT was chosen because in attempting to cover up for the react-
ionary forces, she is only being the to 21 of these forces but she will
also be the victim of those forces. Because who can doubt that if

with it, but there are other forces - pr0gIesSiveS, conservative, and
so on, who have also said things about the so-called free press in
this country.
None other than HENHII;-UJCE, one of the most _
reactionary publicists in this country, in 1942 gave -$200,000. to a
special commission which was supposed to investigate this problem of

The speakers at the convention spoke nith modesty of the activities of the

THE FACTS ,
On .92-Ionday, February 25, I945, at about tozoo A.'.92I., Mrs.
Gladys Stephenson went to the Castner-Knot Electric Appliance store
in Columbia, Tennessee, to see about a radio which was being re-
paired. With her went her lg-year-old son james, a naval veteran, in
spite of his youth, of three years in the Atlantic and the Pacic. Mrs.
Stephenson was anxious to have the radio in their clean, modest little
home now that James had come safely home. The three years since
her boy at 16 joined up with the Navy had been lled with anxiety
for her, but like millions of other American mothers, she'd waited.
And she felt that God_had been good to her. Her boy was home now
and she wanted that radio.
At the store Mrs. Stephenson was disappointed to nd that the
H-p;1ir work done was faulty and she told the repairman so. The man,
William Fleming, whose brother was a Highway Patrolman, became
abusive when Mrs. Stephenson told him that the repair job was cer-
tainly not worth the money she was being charged, and when she
objected to the abuse he slapped ____
and kicked her. james, seeing his
mother assaulted. rushed to her
defense, hitting Fleming, who fell

witnesses to the incident u ho woulooify to these facts. It is -tirmifi-cant. however, that the Negro witnesses asked that they not be ninned
for fear of their lives. 92 I
News of the disturbance spread quickly through the town and
rutnors of impending mob violence assumed ominous proportions as
reports of the development of mass public opinion ;t!_I;tinst the Negrocommunity were discussed openly in the street. Sheriff _]. Undenvood
called in Saul Blair, .92'egro businessman, and other .92'egro citizens for
their cooperation in spiriting the Stephensons out of town.
In the courthouse square, which is less than one block from the
Negro section of Columbia, groups of white men had been congre-gating all day. lt was from the windows of this same courthouse thata howling. liquor-reel-zing mob hanged 14-year-oltl Cordie Cheek<e92-eral years ago. Negroes in the town remembered too well how thatboy, declared innocent of a rape charge by the grand jury, haddangled at the end of a rope from the courthouse window and howtown ollicials. several of whom had been identied as members of thelynch-mob, left the rope hanging in the square as a warning.
Quietly the Negro citizens left other sections of the town and re-tired to the doubtful security of their own segregafddlcontmunity. Bysix o'clock that evening the mob in the square numbered approxi-mately 75. Sheriff l_'ndt-rwood claims that he approached the men andasked them to disband and go to their homes. He then went into theNegro section where he talked with Mr. james Morton, the Negroundertaker. He assured him that the people had nothing to fear fromthe mob which they could plainly see only a block away. Yet in spite
of the sheriff's assurances, the Dixie-wise Negroes, grimly watchful intheir surrounded community, knew that the mob was hell-bent on
another lynch spree. They knew that members of the mob had pur-t'lt.92t'tl rope and the purchasers
h.1tln't tritrd to hide the grisly job
they had in mind for that night.
.92t about seven o'clock in the
evening the sheriff was aroused by
the booting mob outside the jail.
.92Ien were pounding and kicking
on the door while muled voices
demanded that the prison doors
be opened. The sheriff claims that
he opened the door and faced the.
mob with levelled tommy-gun.
The leaders demanded that the
Stephensons be turned over to
them, refusing to leave until theyd4- t * -,-if-$5-;:-"-.;=--3;" -- - ' - - i

mother were not in the building. _ __,,ét£ .,Two of the mobsters were in such ' " i 7 "M
a drunken state that they were unable to leave with their companions.They were lodged in the jail to sleep it off until morning when theywere released. As far as the investigators were able to determine there
were no charges against them.
The town's Negro population was certain that the section wouldhe invaded that night. Doors were locked and window shades drawn.The children were swiftly herded into the hack rooms or in the attics.
There were no lights. The area huddled silent and blacked out exceptfor one feeble street lamp. The families huddled together in their tinyhouses and waited. Shots were red into the Negro community bymembers of the mob. Bands of white men, fully armed, roamed theadjoining streets. Several cars tore through the darkened area pump-ing shots into the houses. Then a dark car, carrying a group of citypolicemen and showing no illumination, drove slowly into the tense,blacked-out section. The Negroes, certain that the mob was nallymoving in against them, waited. And then someone shouted hysteric-ally, "Herc they come!" Scattered shots rang out. No one knows whored the shots but they were aimed at the dark car moving through adark street. Although there were no serious wounds four of the police-men were hit with buckshot. According to the sh_erifl', a cordon ofstate patrolman and helmeted state guardsmen was thrown about the_$.....,|.,-1.-~..._... . I _¢-- --.-an-unu-t 1. -_."_4v- »*~§ ; agy W y 1 _ _ y _ "x ,.,,

citizens - men, women and children -~ lay flattened against their
quivering floors.
In the business section, the police and guardsnien, working in
platoons, smashed through the shop winclows, chopped down the
doors. The streets were soon littered with furniture hurled out of
windows. ln a poolroom the cloth was slashed on all of the tables. A
doctors office was smashed, the medical furniture chopped beyond
repair. Surgical instruments, drugs, and valuable clinical apparatus
were wantonly destroyed or stolen. In the offices of the .92tl:tnta Life
Insurance Company the uniformed vandals left a hopeless shambles
after careful destroying all les and records. Smashing into a funeral
parlor the law enforcement oflicers and troopers stomied through the
chapel. Draperies were cut up, chandeliers and all other lighting fix-
tures were ripped from their soc'ltets. The pulpit, with its well-thurnbed
Bible, was hacked, the light over the Bible smashed with a well placed
gun stock- The hate-ridden orgy was topped off with a huge KKK
scrawled in white chalk across one of the chopped caskets. Cash regis-
ters in all of these establishments received special treatment as the
officers stuffed their pockets with the hard earned cash of Negro busi-
nessmen. With this part of the "riot" operation successfully terminated

were clubbed and jahhed. Screaming children running wildly for their
inothers were sent sprawling. The people, stunned and covered with
blood, were pushed and thrown into the streets. Hot guns were jabbed
into their stomachs and they raised they hands. .92Ien, women, children,
all were ordered to keep their hands raised high. The arms of children
