Edgar Hoover Says Potential fifth Column of 540,000 In United States; Uheat Grop to f.liss Billion Bushel F.lark Of all the men In high governsecurity posts, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the F.B.I., possibly commands more respect than any other. For that reason, his statement that the Communists have a potential fifth column of 540,000 people In the United States, made public some four months after Tie testified before a senate committee, gave Red conscious Americans a shock. He was explicit on two points: (1) Communists are seeking American atomic, military and industrial secrets with every trick and means at their disposal; (2) Sub-versive Communists are more active now than the Nazis and Fascists ever were during World War II. The orbit of Communist control," he said, has increased from one seventh of the worlds population- in 1917 to one third of the worlds population today, The intensification of communism and underground activtlty in the United States has increased ' proportionately.

The main points: (1) The United States should go to war if Russia moves into western Europe; (2) He doubts there ever can be a complete bipartisan foreign policy to cover all areas of the world. The senator, however, did not entirely abandon the music of isolationism with which he has often been associated. He added that he believed the U.

On the bipartisan foreign policy problem, Taft was not jumping completely to either side of the fence. He wanted it understood he believed a bipartisan policy could be achieved on specific projects" when there is advance consultation with elected Republicans in congress." He was critical of two recent developments. particularly the balanced collective forces concept agreed upon by the Atlantic pact foreign minister in London, and the $1,222,500,000 arms-ai- d program. He said the building up of European forces might incite Russia to attack on aggrounds that it constituted action. gressive land-mas- second-installme- nt 30, 1951. POTATOES: Shootin Bug Dust Now-it- . can be told. A hundred million pounds of surplus American potatoes have been sent into Soviet Germany to feed victims of the potato bug fantasy. Recently the Soviet controlled radio and press went into a song and dance about American planes dropping potato bugs in the Soviet zone. The Communist propaganda said the United States sewed insects to blight the east German crop, to test out germ warfare, and sell capitalistic bug poison. American officials called the charges ridiculous and said the Communists apparently were trying to condition the pepole for crop failure. The continued broadcast by the Communists on the potato bug theme and the silence maintained over the shipment of unbranded American potatoes were looked on as evidence of a campaign to cover up production failures. The potatoes were shipped by a New York broker to a Swiss firm in Hamburg. Another deal was reported underway to ship 18.000 tons to Frankfurt in Western Germany. In both cases, state department officials suspected that the potatoes were going to the at Million to 10 I Home of the nation was methods to curb about reading a story from Las Vegas, gambling, Nev., reported a gambler made 28 passes at the dice table, something For the first time in seven years, that happens once in 10,000,000 the nations farmers will fail to times. wheat crop harvest a billion-bushThe gambling casino said it lost this year, the agriculture depart$150,000 and the gambler, who won ment has predicted. dethe only $750, could have taken This means, the government commend and encourage of accumuhad he let his bets 4 forecasters said, the income of termined and untiring efforts root late. to , expose, wheat farmers will be down some Senator McCarthy out and destroy the treasonable, The man kept the dice tor an $400,000,000. elements and 21 minutes but won only disloyal hour Communistic, a harThe government predicts role a dominant such now he pocketed most of his as $750 playing vest of 944,514,000 bushels as the adminDemocratic in the present result of voluntary reductions in winning after each roll.
