WE HEAR MUCH ABOUT THE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN THIS COUNTRY, YET THAT WOULD BE AN EASY PROBLEM TO HANDLE. ALL vt/E WOULD HAVE TO DO IS SHIP ALL THE COMMUNISTS, THE PRO-COMMUNISTS, THE PINKS, THE PUNKS, THE FELLOW-TRAVELERS AND ALL THAT BROOD TO RUSSIA ON A ONE-WAY TICKET. THAT WOULD LEAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR GOOD AMERICANS.

Senator Joe McCarthy is learning the same bitter lesson that Martin Dies learned years ago, namely, that any man who attempts to search and ferret out and fight the Communists in this country, has a tough row to hoe. McCarthy, like Dies, is being subjected to a tornado of misrepresentation, calhmnly, vituperation, and ridicule. Tortures and indignities are being heaped upon him by the hatchet-men who serve-knowingly or unknowingly---directly or indirectly-the Kremlin.

***

We are taking our pen in hand at this time to announce to all concerned that we are strictly in the McCarthy corner in this battle, and frankly suspicious of those who attack him while he attacks subversives and their work.

*{c*

Martin Dies only recently returned to the Washington scene as Congressman-at-large from Texas. Years ago, when he was Chairman of the Dies Committee that sought to battle Communism and Communists here at home, he was literally driven out of Congress by powerful political forces, spearheaded by Pres. and Mrs. Roosevelt. He testified in Congress and wrote into the official records-without denial from the White House-that as soon as he started his crusade against American Communists, he was called to the White .Ilouse and Pres. Roosevelt tolC him: "Martin, you've got to stop this investigation. Lots of my friends are Communists."

***

McCarthy faces in some ways an easier task than did Dies, because no longer do the Commies and their friends and defenders sit in such high places as their did during the New Deal days. Thc job is being handled largely by snipers, by men and women, many of whom pose as the right sort of Americans, while seeking by fair means or foul to strike down McCarthy and his kind. There is one big difference. Martin Dies, a gentleman of the old school and a man of high honor, did not enjoy the back-blasting attacks that were made on him. He rcscntd ttem, as he properly should.

But the more the reds and yellows attack McCarthy, tbe better he likes it. It gets them out from under cover, whcrc he can strike back He is of the Irish breed ttag saF: 'fs this a private 6ght, or can I get in it?" You can't frighten McCarthy; and a man who doesn't scare is onc of thc greatest needs of the hour. You can't attack Communism in America today without being in return attackcd; which is okay with Senator Joe. Remembcr, it isn't thc size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the 6ght in thc dog. ***

And that marks the difference between lum and Eany good and well-intentioned Americans who hate Communism and would like to s€e it crushed but arc unwilling personally to pay the price that goes with such combat today. If you decide to fight Communism in this land today, you've got to make up your mind in advance to pay the price, for you will certainly become the target of the stink-pot throwers. Remember Alec McGuinness who fought Communism in Hollywood until he broke down and died under the strain. When he was asked what ttey had against him in Hollywood, he replied: '"Ihey caught me with an American flag in my hand." ***

Why should not people who hate and fear Comnunism and want to see it eradicated in this country, rally behind Senator McCarthy? Surely he has tte courage, the brains, the terrific vigor and enthusiasm, and whatever else it takes for leadership in this issue. And quit pulling that foolish remark: "I like McCarthy's objectives, but don't approve of his methods." Just what weapon would you us€ in this war, Junior? A powder pufr? ***

We even heard of people who did not approve of the very impolite language of a Texan, Capt. R. A. Kerley, during World War Two. His battalion was surrounded and isolated for three days in Brittany, and a German officer called on him to surrender. He replied: "You go to helM'll surrender when all our ammunition is gone and all our bayonets are sticking in German bellies !" Afterward a superior officer said to him: "You had a hell of a nerve to tell the German that." And Kerley answered: "He had a hell of a nerve to make me that proposition." We have a notion that Capt. Kerley, if called upon, would handle the Communist situation in this country today in about the same abrupt and impolite fashion that Sen. McCarthy is doing. Why be polite to skunks?

'F,F*

McCarthy seems to believe in the Douglas MacArthur type of combat; all out effort for victory. He wants to dig out the reds and their defenders and drive them so far out of this country that it would cost a million dollars just to mail a postcard back. Like that great English warrior, John Hampden, he seems to believe that moderation in war is imbecility. And don't forget, Junior, THIS IS WAR! A war on which depends the very life of this nation. This gallant Irishman is leading in a death struggle. This is no fencing match with blunt points. ft is war to the death.

***

Looks like Senator McCarthy might well say to his fellow Americans what the colored man said to the Lord when he found himself facing a fight for life against a big bear. He said: "Oh Lawd, I nevah asted you fo' nothin' befo'and if You he'p me dis time I ain't evah gwine to ast You fo' nothin' agin; but Lawd, if You cain't he'p me don't he'p de bear, but lay low an' say nothin' an' I'll show You de doggondest bear fight what evah taken place in dis country."

Recently there came to these shores an old British gat called "Lady" Astor. After 73 years of minding everybody's business except her own in England, she began screaming for public attention by uttering insults concerning Senator McCarthy. When he heard of her insults, he smilingly remarked that she must be a "nice old lady." Showing, of course, the difrerence between a Wisconsin gentleman, and a British "Lady."

***

Then she tried to back her play by saying that she had learned by reading some of the papers that she is not alone in her disapproval of the Senator. And how right she is ! No, indeed, she is not alone ! She has company galore. To begin with, there's Malenkov. I{e's on her side. He too dislikes McCarthy and his metfiods. Vishinsky, the man of blood for ghoulish Stalin doesn't like McCarthy or his methods. Neither does Molotov. They are all on Lady Astor's side. And here in the United States there are thousands of Commies and their friends who seek and hope to overthrow this government; all of them are very critical of McCarthy.

Sam Jones, famous Southern revivalist of another day, used to say that "if you tluow a rock into a passel of hounds, it's the hit dog that squeds." Every time Senator McCarthy throws a rock at thc Commies, loud squeals promptly follow. And don't doubt for a minute, Junior that it is the hit dog that is doing the squcding. This breed of creeping, crawling, libcrty-hating pintoe here at home il they had their way would tear down Old Glory from on high and put tte hamrncr and sickle in its place. They all hate and opposc and criticize McCarthy. They are all on Lady Astor's tearn. tt*

And do you know something, Junior? Every time we hear or read about some bird denouncing McCarthy or anyone else who is out in the open fighting Communisn and defending Americanism, we wor.dd like to bare the back of the denouncer and see if the sign of thc hammer and sickle isn't visible somewhere on his carciass. We are not at all certain that Lady Astor could stand such a survey. Like Harnlet's mother, "She doth protest too much'"

The Good Book says: "By tteir works you shall know them-" That goes particularly for Cornrnies and fell-traveler. Watch the fellow who is trying to drive a wedge bctween President Ike and Senator McCarthy. There is a lot of such effort being made these days, as those who read and hear, and ttrink can testify. Naturdly thc best way to fight McCarthy and defend Communigm would bc to discredit the Senator with our Prcsidcnt. So cvery timc we read or hear of some p€rsoq groupr or organization that seems to be seeking to bring McCarthy into discredit with ttre White flousc, we take a careful look at the samc, and jot down tfie name and address for further watching. Those who seek to drive wedges bctween leading antiCommunists should all be on t:tre "watch'em" liEt.

Many years ago, long bcfore tte danger from Communism at home had reached the shocking proportions it has now attained, we heard a famous Amcrican patriot plcading with a big audience for an America for Anericans only, and he said: '"Ihere is no room under the American flag for disloyalty to the American Constitution. If I had my way I'd put everyone who lives in this country yct yet seeks to destroy it, on a ship of stone, with cails of lea4 and send them out on a sea of 6re, with a hurricane bchind them, and hell for destination." The whole audience stood up to applaud. Maybe we need a return to ttat mental attitude, don't you think so, Junior?
