A RED PROFESSOR TALKS
There has been a great hue
and cry in some circles against
the investigations into sub-
versive activities now being con-
ducted by committees o? Con-
gress. It would be well for any
interested citizen, before form-
ing a conclusion in the contro-
versy, to read the latest series
of published reports by the
Committee on the Judiciary.
United States Serr I.e. These re
ports, available to any citizen
upon request, give the trans-
cript of the actual testimony in
the hearings on "Subversive In-
fluence in the Educational Pro-
cess",
When I was in Washington
recently, Dr. Bella V. Dodd,
former school teacher and col-
lege professor and one time
member of the American Com-
mnit Party's national commit-
tee, was testifying at the hear-
ing conducted by the Judiciary
sub-committee on internal se-
curity for 12 years she taught -
political science and economics '
at Hunter College, New York
City, and infected a great many
students with the Communist
viewpbint. During this time
she worked secretly with the
Communists but did not form-
ally join the paity until 1943.
Thereafter she helped gain
Communist control over 11,000
teachers in the New York
Teachers Union. She estimated
there were 1000 Communist
teachers in the union.
Worked With Reds
Professor Dodd left the Party
m 1949 and has since endeavor-
ed to rectify the wrongs she did
her country by warning the
public of the menace of the
Red infiltration in every walk
of American life. Among the
educational profession in New
York she obviously was an in-
fluential personage. Attracuse.
cirtttured and fluent in her
speech, she was an effective

Fellow Traveler Menace
"1 raised the question of
whether I shoii.'d or should not
belong to the Communists,'' she
te>tified She was instructed
by a Communist official as
follows "No, it is not advisable
for people like yourself, who
are in strategic positions, to be-
come members of the Com-
munist Party, to have a card or
to attend meetings." Thus she
was a fellow traveler, doing the
bidding of the conspirators,
while comparatively safe from
exposure.
Under these circum-
stances, she was more valuable
even than if she were a party
member. The significant thing
is that the Communists have
claimed about 500,000 fellow
travelers working in organiza-
tions and institutions through-
out the nation, calling them-

of Doctor
DOdd's testimony, of special in-
terest, concerned the smear tac-
tics which t h e Communists
use against anyone who effect-

was a top official in the party,
she said, "If anyone tried '.o at-
tack the Communist movement,
the Communist Party immediate-
iately went among its allies,
and on various bases got the
support and help of these people-
to smear and to isolate any per-
son who was hurting Commun-
i s is.

munist eonspirady is going to
receive very rough treatment
from Communists, who learn
how, unfortunately, to utilize
many unsuspecting people who
think they are supporting free-
dom of thought but who, in
reality, are the best protections
for the Communist conspiracy."
The actual Communist smear
artists are to be found in all the
media of national communica-
tions, Doctor Dodd said. "The
Party has representatives, for
instance, in the press, repre-
sentatives in t h e magazine
world, in the radio world. If
everyone is concentrating upon
particular person, you get the
cumulative effect of a party
working on many different
levels."
The important fact is that
not many American citizens un-
derstand the workings of this
widespread, powerful, under-
mining conspiracy. Ask your
Congressman for the Judiciary
Committee reports on "Sub-
versive Influence in the Educa-
tional Process."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q I am the widow of a
World War ll veteran, and I
have been getting a pension.
However it stopped because I
forgot to mail in the question-
naire asking about my annual
income that VA sent me. Is
there any way 1 can get the
payments to start again?
A.—You should submit the
questionnaire, or other evidence
of your annual income to VA.
If VA receives this within one
year from the dale it originally
issued the questionnaire, and if
your income does not exceed
the legal maximum, the pension
may be payable from the date
of the last payment you re-
ceived. If more than a year
elapses, the payments if other-
wise in order will start as of
'he date VA gets the new ques-
tionnaire or a new claim.
Q.—I understand that with
credit controls lifted, it is pos-
sible to get a 30-year GI loan
with no down payment. But I
can't find anybody who will
lend me the money on those
terms. Aren't lenders required
to do that, under the law?
A.—No. Although such terms
are permissable, it's still up to
the lender to make his own de-
cision as to the terms of the
A.—Yes. A permanent plan
policy under waiver of pre-
miums provides increasing guar-
anteed values — intruding the
loan privilege and the right to
dividends—just as though you
were payirr;.
Q.— I am getting a VA pen-
sion for a total and permanent
disability, and I live in a house
that I received Ih'oii-h
heritance. If I sell the
how much of the proceeds must
be considered as income, in fi-
guring whether J come under
the income limitations for a
u, aision7
A. In the c se of a house
that came into your possession j
'hrough inheritance, all the |
oroceeds will be considered as
income, for pension purposes.
Q.—I was m'eased from ser-
vice in July, 1952. By what
date must I start training un-
der the Korean GI Bill?
A.—Veterans such as your-
self, released from service be-
fore August 20, 1952, must be-
gin their training under the Ko-
rean GI Bill by August 20, 1S54.
Those released after August 20,
1952, have two years from date
of separation in which to begin
DYSENTERY IS CAUSED
BY A SPECIFIC BACTERIA
AUSTIN, July 6.—Comment-
ing on the unusually high inci-
dence of dysentery in Texas at
the present time. Dr. George
W. Cox, state health officer, de-
scribed dysentery as being an
infectious disease characterized
by diarrhea, pain in the abdo-
men, and toxemia. It is caused
by a specific bacteria or germ.
These germs cause inflammation
of the lining of the intestinal
tract, which produces pain
throughout the abdomen and the
discharge of many loose stools

that frequently contain blood
and mucous. Toxemia results
from absorption of the poison-^
ous substances produced by the
germs.
"The germs gain entrance to
the body through the mouth,"
Doctor Cox said, "and then
make their way to the intes-
tines in the same manner in
which food does. When they
reach the intestines they find
conditions favorable to their
growth, and there they estab-
lish themselves at the expense
of the person infected and pro-
duce their harmful effects."
Doctor Cox warned that dy-
sentery affects young children
more often and more seriously
than adults, frequently result-
ing fatally; however, he said it
may occur at any age. It is
usually more prevalent during
the summer season, and the
great number of cases now be-
ing reported are unusual for
spring.
