London's intellectuals led by the eminent philosopher Bertrand Russell presently - seek to persuade- - Britons that it would be preferable to live "in Communist slavery rather than die as free men in an atomic war.

According to expert testimony given to the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate: "The manifesto ordered a frontal attack on the movement, for the firs time" recognized as a fundamental obstacle to Red aims. This made hash of the. line taken until then, that had as futile, downgraded not worthy of mention, which ridiculed it by such artifices as saying it really helped the Reds . . . The manifesto made plain that had to be combatted by a major counter offensive. Is this the end result we see in the muzzling of our patriotic, loyal, military men who have been sneaking out against communism? Are we not playing into, the hands of our enemy when we castigate and criticize spokesmen across this broad land who are warning against the communist menace? Testimony received by, the Senate ' committee told how political, educational, literary, clerical and other spheres of American society have been boxed in and squeezed out, , quietly, one by one. "This was the hush-hus- h strategy." Surely by nowise can this Red manifesto be honestly described other than as a strategy; for the defeat of the United States and its absorption into the communist empire. And one of the first steps in the Red plan is to silence all those who are aware of and have the courage to speak out against the communist menace. The shackles that have silenced our military men should be stripped .off immediately And patriots everywhere should lend encouragement to those who are willing to speak out for America. The need is also emphasized for our sovereign people to protect themselves against further impairmen of their system of government through valid enforcement of the Constitution. The political sides are forming between those who wish to maintain our liberties and freedom under the Constitution, as was carefully provided by the Founders, and those who accept or welcome federal usurpation which aims at overthrowing the Constitution and estab- will contribute columns.'

I have long known General Walker since he commanded the Arkansas Military District at one time, and while I have not always agreed with the line of action his military career compelled him to follow, I do- feel in this instance that, the general was punished, and harshly so, for the crime of loving America. And I hasten to add, that is no crime. It is, high time, and there is a great crying need, for more and more Americans to love America, and cherish its Constitutional way of life. General Walker is just one of many noted "military men who have seen the growing Communist menace and- who felt their troops should be educated to the real enemy they face. Surely there is nothing sinister about such a position. conservative But it is this right-wintype of thinking and speaking that, is being assaulted on every side. The drive to discredit conservative fighters of the Communist movement-, ties in directly with the current doctrine enunciated in a Red manifesto issued no later than last December. This doctrine declares, among other things : The coexistence of states with different social systems is a form of class struggle between socialism and capitalism."

For ,10 years,, majorities have decided to postpone the issue for another year. This time, the majority may go the other way. If it does, the United States will accept full airing of the question in the hopes that, after debate, the vote will be against seating Red China. Sen.

Retired Husband Can Be Big Headache to Wives - ' When she confided in a' friend that her retired husband had i an-- nounced he was going to start having lunch at home each day, one wife summed up her reaction with: "Oh. murder. I wouldn't know what to serve for lunch. I never jeat any myself." The wife. was Mrs. Harry S. Truman, or at least that's the story as reported in an article about former President Truman in retirement. This is just by way of pointing out the fact that while men are given all kinds of advice on how to cope with the retirement years, everyone seems to assume that the wife of a retired man has no 5 , r,j problems. After all, say the experts, (men, of course) the i right on being a housewife so she has no major adjustments to make, Ruth Millett The truth of the matter is that to women who have been able to plan their days for years without consulting anyone else a husband suddenly freed from his job. presents a few problems. They may seem minor to the experts but they aren't so minor to the wife. s There'3 that daily lunch to prepare that cuts into her former routine. If the husband has set up office or shop in his own home as so many retired men do, the wife may suddenly find herself a combination secretary, office boy and first assistant. That is especially true if a man ha, retired from an executive job where he is used to giving orders wife-keep- ar s " j . and being waited on. And, of course, some retired men can't find enough to do to keep themselves busy and their minds occupied and then the housewife finds that she hasn't time for her woman friends or her own activities so busy is she being a contant companion to her husband. Some wives claim that would be delightful if their husbands wanted to do things or even to talk to them "But all my husband wants is for me to be around," they claim. So there are plenty of adjustments on both sides- of the family when a man quits his job for good one of the main ones for the wife being that when her husband retires, her. own responsibilities increase. j . - 1 w 20-fol- d.
