A RED
PROFESSOR TALKS
There has been a great hue and
cry in some circles against the
investigations into subversive ac
tivities now being conducted by
committees of Congress. It would
be well for any interested citizen
before forming a conclusion in the
controversy, to read the latest ser-
ies of published reports by the
Committee on the Judiciary, Un-
ited States Senate. These reports
available to any citizen upon re-
quest, give the transcript of the
actual testimony in the hearings
on "Subversive Influence in the
Educational Process."
When I was in Washington re-
cently Dr. Bella V. Dodd, former
school teacher and college prof-
essor and one time member of
the American Communist Party's
national committee, was testify-
ing at the hearing conducted by
the Judiciary sub-committee on
internal security. For 12 years she
taught political science and ec-
onomics at Hunter College, New
York City, and infected a great
many students with the Commun-
ist viewpoint. During this time
she worked secretly with the Com-
munists but did not formally join
the party until 1943. Thereafter
she helped gain Communist con-
trol over 11,000 teachers in the
New York teachers Union. She
estimated there were 1,000 com-
munist teachers in the union.
Worked With Reds
Professor Dodd left the Party
in 1949 and has since endeavored
to rectify the wrongs she did to
her country by warning the public
of the menace of the Red infil-
tration in every walk of life. Am-
ong the educational profession in
New York she obviously was an
influential personage. Attractive
cultured and fluent in her speech,
she was an effective witness at
the Judiciary hearing. The room
was crowded, and the hearing was
televised. However, the utmost di-
gnity was maintained.
Two parts nf Dr. Dodd's test-
imony especially impressed me as

ed. During a number of years
while an influential professor at
Hunter College she was secretly
doing the Communists' work for
them, although not officially con-
nected with the party.
Fellow Traveler Menace
"I raised the question of whet-
her I should or should not be-
long to the Communists", she te-
stified. She was instructed by a
Communist official as follows: "No
it is not advisable for people like
yourself, who are in strategic po-
sitions, to become members of
the Communist Party, to have a
card or to attend meetings." Thus
she was a feliow traveler, doing
the bidding of the conspirators,
while comparatively safe from ex-
posure. Under these circumstan-
ces 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 organizations and institutions
throughout the nation, calling
themselves "liberals."
The other portion of Dr. Dodd's
testimony, of special interest, con-
cerned the smear tactics which
the Communists use against any-
one who effectively fights them.
While she was a top official in
the party, she said, "If anyone
tried to attack the Communist
movement, the Communist Party
immediately went among its allies
and on various bases got the sup-
port and help of these people to
smear and to isolate any person
who was hurting Communists."
Smear Their Enemies
Dr. Dodd testi/ied: "There is
absolutely no doubt in my mind
that anyone in America who dares
to buck the Communist conspir-
acy is going to receive very rough
treatment from Communists, who
learn how, unfortunately, to ut-
ilize many unsuspecting people
who think they are supporting
freedom 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

USE YOUR LEGAL NAME,
AVOID TROUBLE
What's in a name?
Legally, this is a practical and im
portant question. Many people do ' J1 interests in the properties
Mr. Smith owned some securi-
ties and several pieces of real
estate, and they were listed under
various combinations of his name.
Then Mr. Smith made his will
under the name of "Albert C.
Smith." A year later he died. That
is when his attorney started work
to find out who Mr. Smith was.
Mr. Smith's heirs now probably
will have to sign affidavits to
show that all of the names he used
during his lifetime belong to Al-
bert Charles Smith, and that he
not use their legal names, and this
is apt to cause confusion and ex-
tra expense in legal proceedings.
Every grown person should use
the name given him by his par-
ents and appearing on his birth
certificate for all business and
legal matters.
Take the hypothetical case of
Albert Charles Smith. When he
died and his lawyer filed the pe-
tition of probate for his estate, the
petition was entitled, "In the Mat-
ter of the Estate of Albert Char-
les Smith, also know as Al C.

nation of his name.
What's in your name? Every
person should used the name ap-
pearing on his birth certificate
and should make sure that all
documents which have a legal
bearing, such as school diplomas,
deeds to property, certificates of
stock and bond ownership, and
insurance policies, carry the same
name. This often will avoid com-
plications in the probating of an
estate.

When Albert Charles Smith was ;
born, the attending physician filed
a birth certificate with that name.
During his school years, his j
friends called him "Al."
! Mr. Smith went to college, and
decided that his name would look
more distinguished if he worte it
"A. Charles Smith," and he was I
so regarded. His college diploma
carried that name.
Starting out in business, Mr.
Smith took a job that required {
him to write his signature many j
times a day. To simplify the work, 1
he signed his name "A. C. Smith."
His bank account and telephone
number were recorded that way.
Mr. Smith lost a part of his iden-
tity, since there were 11 "A. C.
Smiths" listed in his telephone
book.
Mr. Smith decided to get mar-1
ried. and he rushed to the Clerk ;
of District Court to get his lie- i
ense. Without giving the matter j
much thought, he told the clerk
his name was "Charles Smith." j
The name was recorded on his

The traveler of ancient times sought
rest and refreshment at an oasis on
his route.
So does the traveler of modern times
... he stops at an oasis that prepares
his automobile for another hundred
miles or more of driving ... at an oasis
that provides ice water and a chance
to stretch ... at an oasis that offers
clean and sanitary rest rooms ... at an
oasis where our traveler can give and
get a friendly greeting.
Today's oasis is the service station
on the American highway.
It makes your trip. It provides your
contact with the country through which
you're driving. On its driveway you feel
at home; you get the impression wher-
ever you stop, that this is your America.
Not one service station, but thou-
sands of them. All along the highways
you'll find them staffed and equipped
to give your car the expert care it re-
quires, to make your brief visits on their
driveways comfortable and pleasant.

The service station where you buy gasoline and motor oil
is your chief contact with the American oil industry. It is
probably an individual enterprise; and it competes to give
you better service and better products than another sta-
tion down the street or on the other side of town. No small
part of the oil industry's progress in the service of the
motorist finds final expression on service station driveways.
