Red Campaign of Liquidation
IN AN EARLY SPRING LETTER to all law enforce
ment officiate, J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the
F. B. I., said: “Our country, the leader and symbol of
the free world, is the ultimate, priceless goal of inter
national Communism. This cannot be until the Red
flag is flown over the U. S.
The FBI Chief continues: “If the grandiose Red
plan is scoffed at as being fantastic, consider that one
fourth of the land surface of the world and one-third
of the peoples of the earth are now controlled by the
world-wide Communist bloc.
“Lethargy leads only to disaster. The Commu
nists have a savage plan of liquidation for a vanquished
America.
“Under Communist domination in America, the
first campaign of liquidation would engulf the lawyers,
champions of due-process of law; newspapermen,
whose ageless fight for freedom of expression would
have no place under totalitarianism; law-enforcement
officers, guardians of individual rights; governmental
(leaders, local, state and national; and everyone falling
in the ‘capitalist’ category. Occupations and profes
sions which the Communists term ‘useless and para
sitic’ would be abolished . . . the list of purging is
endless. No citizen would escape some form of suffer
ing under a Communist regime. One need but to
compare his own worth, his own ideals, his own reli
gious beliefs with the atheistic doctrines of Commu
nism to determine his priority on the liquidation list.
Mr. Hoover concludes: “The defense of the cher
ished freedom secured and handed down to us by our
forefathers is the responsibility of each American.
Knowledge of the enemy, alertness to the danger, and
everyday patriotism are the brick and mortar with
which we can build an impregnable fortress against
Communism. Only the intelligent efforts of all Amer
icans can. prevent the decay of public apathy from
laying open our Nation to the Red menace.”

Morse Throws In
Sponge to Kennedyj
In Ore. Landslide
By MORRIE LANDSBERG
PORTLAND, UP) — Sen. John
Kennedy swept to a formidable
grand slam victory Saturday that
dealt a staggering political blow
to Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon in
the state’s Democratic Presiden
tial primary.
With the bulk of the vote in,
jubilant Kennedy supporters hail
the outcome as nailng down the
nomination for the Massachusetts
senator at the party’s national
convention in July.
“There is no chance now for
the anti-Kennedy forces to try to
stop him at the convention,” de
clared Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore),
Kennedy’s Oregon chairman.
Kennedy still has a long way
to go, though. He gained 17 more
delegates votes here, pushing his
unoffical total to 317V£. That still
left 443Vi to pick up for the 761
needed for the nomination.
A consistent 3-2 lead over
Morse carred Kennedy to his
seventh straight primary triumph,
and cast a shadow over the Ore
gon senator’s political future.
The state’s Democrats showed a
decided preference for Kennedy
over not only Morse but three
other senators. Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota, Lyndon Johnson of
Texas and Stuart Symington of
Missouri also appeared on the bal
lot. They did not campaign,
however.
A sprinkling of write-in votes
went to Adlai Stevenson, and to
New York Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller on the Republican ballot.
Vice President Nixon, unopposed,
easily outpolled Kennedy. “An
amazing tribute,” his state chair
man said of his high vote.
At Eugene, Sen. Morce conceded
victory to Sen. Kennedy in the
Oregon primary race. Morse said
he would discontinue any further
efforts to obtain delegations in
other states.
Morse wired Kennedy. “Mrs.
Morse and I extend to you and
Mrs. Kennedy our congratulations
on your victory in Oregon. Re
gards.”

' New Election Code May
! Go On the Block in Nov.
j JUNEAU, Uf)—Three Fairbanks
men who want to test Alaska’s
new election code have a green
light to try to win support for a
voter referendum this fall.
Secretary of State Hugh Wade
Friday certified as in proper legal
form an application for a refer
endum petition on the bulky 1960
election law.
Wade ordered the printing of
150 petition booklets, outlining
the proposition and containing
spaces for the signatures of voters
who will support the proposal. Be
fore June 27, the petitions must be
signed by 5,034 qualifed voters
from 16 of the state’s 24 election
districts.
If the necessary signatures are
obtained, the referendum will
come up for a vote at the Novem
ber 9 general election.
Voters will be asked to ratify
or reject the new election code,
passed by the 1960 Legislature
shortly before it adjourned in
March. Failure of the code to win
approval would repeal the law.
Notice the application for the
petition had been approved was
sent to Sherman A. Noyes, Nilo
Koonen and Lawrence Brayton,
the Fairbanks trio sponsoring the
proposal.
Brayton is a candidate for the
Republican nomination to the
U. S. Senate in the August 9 pri
mary election. His opposition to
the election code was expressed
originally after he was disquali
fied under its provisions from fil
ing as a candidate of the Alaska
Party in the fall elections.
Under the code, the Alaska Par
ty failed to meet specifications of
a recognized political organization.

By HANS NEERBOURG
WIESBADEN, Germany, GP» —
Soviet authorities announced Sat
urday they have taken custody of
nine Americans aboard an un

of Kluetz, about 15 miles east of
the border, and East Germany po
lice reported Friday night they
had them in custody.
