Show Page 6 The Utah Independent The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand February 26, 1976 Communist Underground Continued from page 1 the Communist underground movement under fictitious names on the personal recommendation of members of the National Committee of the Communist Party; their true identities are never made known to ordinary members or even to Party functionaries. Probably no more than four or five people in the entire country would be able to identify such operatives as Communists. Also there have been hundreds of special cadres which have undertaken assignments from the Central or Executive Committee of the Communist Party. These elite groups are, for the most part, unknown to the general membership and their very existence would be denied. They engage in such activities as compromising individuals the Communists are anxious to control and encouraging important Party members to commit illegal acts so that they will never be able to defect. Special cadres have also planned and instigated programs of vilification, character assassination, and sabotage leaders and proof anti-Commun- ist grams. the elite cadres Through maintain liaison with sleepers" and members of the underground in the communications media and government. There is in fact a full military structure in this Communist underground, with trained saboteurs, demolition experts, specialists in guerrilla warfare, and assassins. Through sleepers and underground members, the Communist Party owns and operates a number of businesses in our country, including hotels, import and export firms, night clubs, restaurants, publishing firms, and numerous other ventures. It maintains bank accounts and investments in the names of private individuals who are under Party discipline, and operates out of numbered accounts in Swiss banks. And the Reds have a complete Shadow Government ready to go into operation in Washington the minute it is given the opportunity by revolutionary circumstance. Dr. Bella Dodd estimated that, of the approximately two million living former members of the Communist Party,' at least one million can definitely be counted on to help the Communists in the event of revolution. g John Lautner, a former Communist who had top security assignments in the Party, has provided the courts with relevant documents which have never been challenged even by the Communist Party's attorneys. One of these documents, used in training members of the secret undercut-out- s, high-rankin- ground, was How A Communist Operative Must Behave. It contains the following informative checklist for operatives: Tell him who ought to know what you have to say, not he who is permit1. ted to know it. 2.

In case of arrest dont give any statement incriminating any comrade. no names, no addresses, not a single fact which could possibly be used directly or indirectly against the Party, its organs, or individual members of the organization. No explanations in this respect. Absolute denial even when personally confronted with the persons and despite the evidence given by police spies and agent provocateurs. Whoever infringes, even but a little these fundamental rules must instantly and mercilessly be ejected from the Party. , Among the important sections of the Secret Army that are made up of illegal aliens are not only assorted Communists and Marxists but others who have been subjected to blackmail because of their fear of arrest and deportation. Such persons are a time bomb within our borders. According to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, there are approximately eight million illegal aliens in the United States. In 1948, following the unsuccessful Communist-le- d revolution in Bogota, Colombia, many of the participants were discovered to be alien radicals including, as it happens, a Cuban named Fidel Castro. Many more were refugees from Europe who had allegedly come to start life over again. At the time of the Castro takeover in Cuba, and more recently in Portugal and Chile, it again developed that thousands of secret Communists, many of them aliens, had been infiltrated into strategically important posts. In 1955 the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee issued a Report entitled Secret Screening Of Refugees. Testimony was taken from Colonel William F. Heimlich, Chief of U.S. Army Intelligence in West Germany, who revealed that, of the alleged refugees received by West Germany, between 30 and 40 percent were sleepers or Red agents awaiting their calls to action, many of them later migrating to the United States. To protect Communist sleepers from detection and deportation as illegal aliens, the Far Left has undertaken a campaign to rewrite our federal laws to stipulate that after an alien has for a time lived illegally in the United States he should receive amnesty which would make him safe from arrest and deportation. Spearheading this campaign has been the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Bom, 799 Broadway (Suite 233), New York City. The U.S. Subversive Activities Control Board cited the Committee (Docket 109-5as a Communist Front and ordered it to register as such with the Attorney 3) General, observing: The American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born is an organization within the United States consisting of a national headquarters in New York City and affiliated branches or chapters in various places throughout the country, named committees for protection of foreign born of particular localities the entire organization (national and locals) is effectively under the management, direction and supervision, and controlled by members and representatives of the Communist Party. .... The Committee on Activities cited the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Bom on February 11, 1957, as being under the complete domination of the Communist Party. As far back as 1942 the House Special Committee on Activities cited it as one of the oldest auxiliaries of the Com Un-Americ- an Un-Americ- an munist Party in the United States. subverDespite the fact that alien sives are so important to the Communist cause, our government has actively encouraged expansion of their numbers. In 1964 it was revealed that the State Department was secretly engaged in one of the most astounding recrefugee relocation operations on ord. A fund of $25 million had been deposited with Hong Kong bankers to finance an operation whereby thousands of Russians were mysteriously to be released h- - Red China and resettled in the u- - .ed States and several other countries. A Washington report revealed that more than 10,000 refugees had reached Hong Kong and others were arriving at a rate of 700 per month. Several thousand of these Russian refugees were relocated with U.S. assistance in Brazil, Ecuador, and in all of Colombia, and Mexico these countries a number had to 1e expelled or jailed for espionage, violence, and participation with local Communists in attempts to overthrow the legal government. In another wave of refugee immigration it was reported in 1968 that the U.S. was receiving hundreds of Czecho-SlovaPolish, and other East America letin and was reported to have main- tained a close association with Communists and sympathizers over a long period of time. As a result of the updated investigation, Gross was reported to the Secretary of State as a security risk. This did not, however, result in the dismissal of Clifford Gross or a lowering of his security clearance; to the contrary, he was given further promotions and a Top Secret clearance. At last report he was drawing a salary in excess of $32,000 and was the highest ranking member of the consular section of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Men like Clifford Gross are regularly clearing former" Communists for entry into the United States. And cases of such refugees are reviewed in the State Department by an official in charge of refugee matters, who for a number of years, until recently, was Louis Arnold Wiesner. Wiesner was bom in Port Huron, Michigan, on April 14, 1916. He obtained his B.A.jiegree from Michigan State in 1937 and his M.A. from Harvard in 1938. He was an assistant and teaching fellow at Harvard from 1939 to 1942 and was then employed by the conspiratorial Council on Foreign Relations and as a research analyst for European intellectuals, artists, and the heavily infiltrated Office of under procedures alprofessionals Strategic Services (O.S.S.).
