Commonwealth Attorney A Scott Hamilton conducted some through-goininvestigations and empaneled a Grand Jury. In October the Grand Jury stunned most Louisville citizens by inof the dicting the "Wade Defense Committee," in eluding Carl Barden and his wife, on the charge of advocating sedition. Subsequent indictments, in November, revealed prosecutor Hamilton's theory of the whole Wade incident. Hamilton's Theory Hamilton's theory was that Braden and the key people in the "Wade Defense Committee" were Communist conspirators, that they had used the Wade family and the house buying and had themselves scheme, actually bombed the house, for the sole purpose of agitating trouble between the races as a part of the Communist scheme to cause continous trouble, calculated to weaken and finally overthrow the American government. This theory brought down on the Commonwealth's attorney a lot of abuse. Close acquaintances refused to believe that Carl member of the Braden, Courier-Journa- l staff, was a Communist. Many people were skeptical of the whole theory of Communist implication. The Braden trial last month was a sensation in Louisville. Commonwealth Attorney Hamilton had done a thorough job in preparation. Before the indictments, and unexpected by Braden, police had entered the Braden home with search warrants and had found boxes filled with Communist literature. On the stand, Braden claimed this literature wts merely evidence of his "Interest in Communism, labor political science and other mass movements." His primary interest, he said, was "socialism." Reds at Work Prosecutor Hamilton present g THE LESSON AT LOUISVILLE PROJECT ' v Citizens of Louisville, Kentucky, recently learned that the Communist conspiracy in America is a grim reality, that its secret agents have infiltrated important elements in our community life and are influencing public opinion in a manner helpful to world Communism and harmful to our nation's security. A great many Louisville people were astonished. They had been apathetic toward Communism. They had scoffed at anyone who suggested that there might be Communist agents at work in Louisville. They are not scoffing now. The series of events that astounded Louisville citizens centered around Carl Braden, who for years had been a member of the editorial staff of the LouCourier-Journaisville the city's only morning newspaper. In his writings and civic activities Braden purported to be a special friend of the Negroes. Last May he quietly bought a house in a Louisville white suburb and immediately transferred ownership to a Negro, Andrew Wade IV, who moved in with his wife and daughter. Racial Strife Trouble started immediately. Neighbors protested. A "Wade Defense Committee" was formed, with Braden a central figure in it. The agitation of the "Committee" and the rising feeling in the neighborhood aroused the entire city. People took sides. Terrsion mounted. Shots were fired into the Wade residence. And then, on June 26, a bomb was exploded tearing a gaping hole in one side of the house. The Wades were not in the l, ring-leade- long-tim- e rs Tremonton. Utah ed a parade' of former FBI counterspies who had worked in the Red underground, including Matt Cvetic. They all testified the (1) the house buying and bombing was a specific technique used by Communists to foment civil strife and hatred between the races; and that (2) the type of Communist literature and the quantity found in Braden's home would only be found in the possession of a Communist. Then, late in tne trial, the prosecution introduced a surprise witness. Mrs. Alberta Ahearn. She guick'.v identified herself as a ' member of Communist Party cells In Louisville since January 1951 -- - as a counterspy for the FBI. She said Braden was a Communist leader in Louisville; that she had joined the party at a meeting in Braden's heme; that Mrs. Braden was a Communist, and that Braden collectel dues for one of the Louisville eel s. Braden was convicted cf advocating sedition. Trial of Mrs. Braden and others under indictment will be held later. Louisville citizens learned, at first hand, that the Communist conspiracy is a reality in the daily lives of the communities of America; that it has the powto infilteration er, through mould segments of American public opinion and foment civil ' strife, that it is a monstrous threat to the life and liberty of every citizen. in Re-enlistme- nt Air Force Steadily Rising U. S. "Three times as many prior service airmen are enlisting again in the United States Air Force in 1954 as compared with the number for last year," it was announced'here recently by T. Sgt. W. G. Angel, local Air Force recruiter. During July, August and September 1954, a total of 6,312 airmen who took their discharge with no apparent intention of returning to the service have again enlisted. Compared to the same three month period in 1953, only 2,141 in this same category came back in the service. Prior service airmen are those who again enlist more than 90 days following their date of discharge. If airmen within 90 days following discharge they are entitled to a number of benefits, according to Sgt. Angel. If they wait until the period they lose the substantialbonus ly increased and one grade in rank. Beth Brown Sends Greetings From Sweden Dear Editor: Please convey my greetings to all the friends in the Bear River so much Valley. I appreciate the letters and kind thoughts they send so often to we missionaries. It is truly a wonderful experience to be here in Sweden as a missionary. I love the country and people very much, and the joy we receive in the Lord's work is great. Thank you so much for sending the Leader to me. I really enjoy and appreciate it. Best wishes to all of you from Thus the program would be made unsound by getting an adverse selection of "insurance risks." Private insurance com. panies handle this problem by charging higher rates for the poorer risks, those in poor health or near retirement age. The social security contribu-- j tion rate is the same for every-- ! one regardless of age or physical condition. Therefore, coverage must be extended to large groups so that both good and bad insurance risks will be included at the same time, if the program is to remain self supporting and financially sound. Mr. Watson will be in Tremonton on Thursday, Jan. 27, between 2 and 3sp.m. at the Utah Power and Light company. Sweden.

Watson of the Ogden social security office said today. "Congress was informed by reprgentatives of national farm organizations," Mr. Watson said, "that most farmers wanted to be covered by social security like the other self employed people. Accordingly, the 1954 amendments to the Social Security Act covered all farmers." Congress has decided that permitting individuals to determine whether they want to participate in the program would not work. Those who stood to profit in the near future would participate while others might not. ,..is the first of the seven commonest danger signals that may mean cancer... but should always mean a visit to your doctor.
