Construction has begun on the

zers. Edgar A. Guest of Dallas
is contractor and builder of the
local plant part of a $60 million
dollar expansion program of the
company’s manufacture and dis-

dustrial chemicals, according to
a release from Hannibal Mo.,
where a large scale nitrogen fer-
tilizer plant is built in the ex-
panded program.
According to the report, the lo-
cal company will be managed by
Norman Ray Massick, and earlier
reports from representatives of
the company in selecting Celeste
as the site of one of the distri-
bution plants, two other men will
be hired year round with occupa-
tion for others in season.
According to the Hannibal re-
port, Cyanamid Farm supply out-
lets offer free soil tests to deter-
mine exact fertilizer formulations,
I custom mix the fertilizer
at the blending plant
and either lease the spreading
equipment or actually spread the
fertilizer for the farmer. The re-
tail outlets supply both custom-
blended and chemically mixed
fertilizers.
Reported also, Cyanamid Farm
supply outlets also sell pesticide
and herbicide products developed
at the company’s multi-million
dollar Agricultural Research Cen-

At the present time 75 percent
of the Texas population is IhrSogj
in cities. By the year 197ft it fe
predicted that 8 out of 10 people,
will be living in the city. Thss, '
means that all towns small or-
large will -keep growing. But will;
they grow themselves? No. The?
people of the town that
to progress will have to help bp-
encouraging people to move tr&-
their town for the conveniences^
that every American family nee<fe.
Those are, good schools, churches^,
doctors, utilities, employment
recreation and the necessities oE;
life.
Most of these we already haw?
in Celeste but some more hm--
portant things such as a resident

have.
Are we willing to pull for the>

I am sure we are aU

Columnist Victor Riesel, per-
haps the most competent writer
in the labor movement today,
has described this growth of vio-
lent radicalism as stemming
from Communist purpose and
currently “haunting America.”
In many guises but never entire-
ly disguised, “its leaders are young
and openly call for street vio-
lence, armed squads, mass revolu-
tion, the destruction of capital-
ism, general strikes, committees
of struggle and the weakening
I of police authority to put down
r riots,” Mr. Riesel recently wrote.
Fouz^articular groups, he said,
are more active than the many
others and they never run short
of funds. These are: the Provi-
sional Organizing Committee for
a Marxist-Leninist Communist
Party (POC), the Progressive La-
bor Movement (PLM), Hammer
and Steel, and the Workers World
Party. These outfits run more
than 100 “clubs” in 10 major ci-
ties and even in some areas of
the South and New England, ac-
! cording to Mr. Riesel.
Wl^. is distressing, however,
is that events of recent years
I have made possible our protec-
I tion, often under -the guise of
maintaining freedom, of any and
all radical revolutionaries
care to form up to the right
the left. Virtually all the screams
have been uttered about a single
rightward non - violent organza-
tion, with the leftish press at
home and abroad playing it up
into a cacophony of fear of Amer-
ican conservatism. But the wave
of neo-radicalism has been large- |
ly ignored, except by the propa-
ganda machines in Havana, Pek-
ing, and Moscow.
Haunting America
the Cuban revolution, admission
of Red China to the U. N., and
elimination of the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
what better inspiration and en-
couragement can the irresponsi-
ble, pro-Communist radicals en-
joy?
When through decisions of the
U. S. Supreme Court, formation
of these groups is given a virtual
green light, why should the inter-
national Communist conspiracy
not grasp the opportunity to en-
courage them and spawn them at
will? We must surely do better
than this, if in America we are
to build a society of free-men who
are dedicated to the values of hu-
man dignity and individual free-
dom. Tl^ neo-radicals and neo-
revolutionaries are calling for
full speed ahead.

Mr. Riesel 'believes that mem-
bers of one or more of these
groups have been in the middle
of virtually every major street
disturbance we have had. Better
informed than most of our com-
mentators, Mr. Riesel has read
their literature. He notes the I
theme of violence in one of their
quarterlies, from which he. quotes:
“We intend to find out how to
elevate every daily struggle of
the people into revolutionary
I will. It is our intent to build a
I mass revolutionary party. It is
I our ^fcpf that the objective con-
ditions/exist in our country and
I on the world scene for such a
I development. We will encourage
I every revolutionary or militant
I tendency among the people . .”
A PLM leader is quoted to the
I effect that workers “must be pre-
| pared for violence out of self-
defense.” Hammer and Steel, Mr.
I Riesel explains, has been most
J active for Mao Tsetung and Red
China’s guerrilla warfare and vio-
lent revolt. This Boston based
group, he revealed, has called for
a (^ban-style revolution right
herNin the U. S. and also de-
martcv.’ armed revolt by the Neg-
roes. It reminds us, as it does
Mr. Riesel, of the proliferation
of the radical groups of the Thir-
ties, when they had virtually no
opposition and enjoyed some en-
couragement from the White
House itself.
