Communist Party in America Exposed
In Report of Senate Security Group
WASHINGTON (/PI—1The Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
described the Communist Party of
the United States Tuesday as a
Russian-inspired, Moscow domin
ated, anti-American, quasi-mili
tary conspiracy against our gov
ernment, our ideals and our free
doms.”
The description was provided
in a 100-page booklet, “A hand
book for Americans,” put out by
the subcommittee with the avowed
aim of exposing what Communism
really is.
The subcommittee quoted the
finding of the Subversive Activi
ties Control Board (SACB) in 1953
that the U.S. Communist Party is
“substantially directed, dominated
and controlled by the Soviet
Union.”
Chairman Eastland <D-Miss) said
in a foreword:
“The average American is un
aware of the amount of misinfor
mation about the Communist Par
ty USA which appears in the
public press, in books and in utter
ances of public speakers. In part,
this misinformation is planted
consciously by members of the
party, using ways and means cal
culated to have the greatest effect
in poisoning .the channels of Am
erican public opinion.
“In part, it is due to our ignor
ance of the problem—the problem
of the existence in our midst of a
mass conspiratorial organization
controlled by a foreign power. The
Communist problem is unique in
our history.
“We earnestly believe that, giv
en a more accurate knowledge of
the Communist conspiracy, fewer
Americans will fall victim to its
wiles,” the foreward added.
The handbook quotes from
Communist doctrinal writings,
testimony in hearings before the
SACB, its own subversive investi
gations and those of the House
Committee on Un-American Ac
tivities, “to differentiate the Com
munist Party from bona fide po
litical parties in the U.S.”
In this country, it said, the
Communist Party regards itself as
“a commando force operating in
enemy territory in behalf of the
Soviet fatherland.”
Search Resumes For Two
Men Lost In Wilds Of
Canadian Yukon Terri.
FAIRBANKS, (£*>--Search for
Forest Wright and Andy War
wick, missing three weeks yester
day in the wilderness of western
Canada, has been resumed out of
the small Yukon river town of
Eagle.
Bush planes took a three - day
break to spend the Christmas
holiday with their families and to
get their planes serviced.
Three pilots, including A1
Wright, a brother of one of the
missing men, returned to Eagle
yesterday. If the missing pair
landed safely, their 30-day supply
of rations would be running low.
Fewer planes are participating
in the search because of extreme
danger in flying the uncharted
region dotted with 8,000 to 9,000
foot peaks. %
“We were lucky to get all the
planes in safely,” A1 Wright said.
“It was a matter of counting noses
every night when they landed at
Eagle.”

Five Members
Of Family Die in
In Big Mudslide
ROSEBURG, Oregon, <£>—Five
members of a family were killed
Monday when a mudslide broke
loose in a canyon and crushed
their home to bits. Three children
somehow survived.
Dead are Marion E. Neal and
his wife Acerena, both about 45,
and their children, Mary, 15,
Backy, 2, and Tom, 17. The bodies
of all but Tom were recovered.
His is buried in the mud at the
slide scene near Remote, a little
community in southwest Oregon.
Three other Neal children sur
vived: Margaret Elaine, 13, who
suffered neck injuries, Billy, 6,
cuts and bruises, and Alvis, 8, un
hurt.
Douglas County Coroner L. L.
Powers said the stunned «hildren
were unable to give a coherent
account. But he pieced together
this story of the tragedy, worst in
the history of Remote.
At about 4:30 a.m. a huge wave
of mud, higher than the Neal’s
one-story frame house, broke from
a canyon and crashed over the
structure.
This battered the house into bits
and swept the pieces 300 feet
across a field. “There aren’t two
sticks of wood still nailed togeth
er,” Powers said.
The family was in bed. The
three surviving children finished
the night huddled together, then
looked for their parents.
The tragedy was discovered at
9:30 a.m. by John Cawrse, the
Neal’s closest neighbor who lives
a mile away. He noted that a
power failure had stopped his
clock at 4:20 a.m. and was out
looking for the power line break.
