THE IMMINENT EXPLOSION
by
N. K. Dixon, Security Officer, Internal Security Section,
Texas Department of Public Safety
AUSTIN, TEXAS
There is a tremendous explos-
ion in your county. You learn
that it. has occurred at an in-
dustrial plant. It resulted in
$500,000 damage and five lives
lost. A man you know worked
at that plant. You now recall
that on several occasions you
wondered about him; you ques-
tioned his loyalty. That recol-
lection might aid the police in
an apprehension, although it
won’t bring to life those men
whose right to live was the
same as yours.
Espionage, sabotage and sub-
version are police problems.
Problems of the local level as
well as of the national level.
The illegel activities of the sub-
versive affect every citizen and
every walk of life. They affect
the peace and dignity of the
state. They disrupt the econo-
my and destroy social harmony.
The subversive will incite riot,
foment friction and hatred be-
races and social classes,
will agitate strikes, denying
essential commodities and
services. He will instigate vio-
lence in strike action. He will
employ theft, extortion, vandal-
ism, and even murder for the
advancement of the “cause” to
which he is dedicated.
In the use of his major wea-
pon, propaganda, he will de-
liberately warp the mind of the
youngster, turning him against
God, country and family. He
will strive to shake your con-
fidence in your government. He
will endeavor to render im-
potent your police and your
courts. He has no regard for
truth and facts.
These tactics result in the
violations of our penal code,
they are inimical to the in-
dividual and collective welfare
of our citizenry. The police are
pledged to enforce our penal
code and to protect the citizen-
ry. Now they must add to their
ever increasing daily duties the
protection of the public against
this type of offender. They
need your help. They need it
before the “explosion.”
Because it is an additional
police duty, the President of the
United States in 1939 requested
all law enforcement agencies to
cooperate with the federal gov-
ernment in matters of internal
security — subversive activities.
This request has been reiterated
in succeeding years. Since then,
and to the present day, your
State Department of Public Safe-
ty, Sheriff’s departments and
your constables have complied
with this request.
In 1947, Colonel Homer Gar-
rison Jr., the director of your
Texas Department of Public
Safety, foresaw the continuing
spread and growing threat of
communism, and recognized it
as a police problem. Without
additional appropriation he es-
tablished a special detail work-
ing out of his office, and as-
signed that detail to the gath-
ering of information and evi-
dence of subversive activities in
the state of Texas. He further
assigned it the duty of develop-
ing liason in this field with
local police agencies in order
to provide them with a central
source of information exchange
to better protect their interests.
In 1951 the legislature creat-
ed the Internal Security Section,
a division of the Department of
Public safety, as a specialized
unity in this field of police
work. In 1954 Colonel Garrison
caused his department to con-
duct a Subversive Activities Con-
trol School; the first of its kind
to ever be held in this country.
This school, originally designed
for the training of its own per-
sonnel, was expanded to invite
certain local law enforcement
agencies to enroll specially
selected men. Thus, several of
our police departments now
have personnel trained in this
type of police work.
It must be realized that Tex-
as is of strategic importance in
any defense measure. It is con-
stantly expanding industrially,
militarily, and it is an inter-
national border area. It must
further be recognized that Com-
munism, though not the only
subversive factor, is the enemy
that constitutes an. immediate
threat.
Tightly organized and disci-
plined, Communism is alligned
with a foreign and hostile pow-
er; a power that has found that
through the Communist move-
ment, it does not have to rely
upon those of its own nation-
ality to undermine its enemies.
In all countries its followers
are constantly schooled into a
politically and socially pervert-
ed frame of mind.
Our constitution provides us
with the means of peacefully
and legally bringing about any
revolutionary changes desired
by the intelligent will of the
people. It provides safeguards
against changes desired by the
totalitarian and tyrannical
minded minority. But these safe-
guards are futile if the people
do not understand and cooper-
ate with the agencies created
to secure these safeguards. Help
them before the “explosion.”
