The Dangers of Fury' i Domestic Communists lire a dangerous, disloyal, hypocritical, tremendously aggTHvaliiig' lot. So it is easy to understand what Eric Johnston calls the "terrific fury" which 1ms risen against tlicm in this country. Yet that fury, unless carefully controlled, can CHiise the active opposition to them to become ineffectual and even ridiculous. It can harm the innocent, and it can strengthen the very thing it would stamp out.

Mr. Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, recalled some dangers of an unchecked Jury in an address before the Picture Pioneers in New York. He cautioned against "our anger getting ou 0 hand until every American who stands for progress is damned as a lied and a Communist." Ho warned that "it mustn't be a crime in this country to criticize." Such advice is familiar. But some aspects of the first round of thc Thomas Committee's investigation of Hollywood communism, or ns ulce would suggest that the advice will bear repeating. The 10 stubborn witnesses, who refused to testify their alleged communism, didn't emerge as shining heroes, as Jlr.

Johnston pointed out. Yet their investigators failed to bring forth any startling disclosures. The committee's chief weakness was pointed.up by Mr. Johnston when he said that "While our (the film) industry is being X-rayed for communism at home, Russia and some of its satelite states are excluding our films as instruments of capitalist propaganda." This does not mean that communism should not be investigated, it floes'mean, however, that the investigators should reasonably sure of then- quarry before they attack. There are some rather important matters to be settled, it seems to us before umimimism in America can be lougrit effectively.

One of them concerns the legality of the Communist ty Pal 'ty membership is now a legal eason for dismissal from government employment. But pa mem itself is not lf easary election irenicml are met, a (-ommunist may present himself as a candidate for office 5ll tne fcd but he cannot legally hold an office in Ulal government. Another-matter i a national governing-toe employment Com munws private industry; Mr Johll shal) it be? Can millions of job holders applicants he screened effec- tively to find perhaps 80,000 Communist Pai'ly members? Is tliis a job that private industry and the unions can best do on their own, or should there be a govcrnment-cnforral policy? And what would be the chances of unfairness and "witch hunting" under such a national policy? Communists, though they make up a very small percentage of our population, can sabotage our economic and military strength in a variety of ways if they are not carefully? watched. It is less cerlain that they '''in win many new recruits or poison the national mind. Americans can surely combat communism most scucessl'ully if they make their love of justice, equality and civil rights at least as active and y.calous as their hatred of the alien political philosophy of Lenin mid Stalin.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1947 It.Might Be a Good Idea Task Force of U.S. Road-Builders to Tackle Job of Improving Turkey's Muddy Highways By Teler (NEA Washington Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 (NEA) A Turkish embassy official here In Washington was talking about the hlgliwcty system of his native country.

Gasoline, he explained, was sold only In the big- Ber towns, nnd in cans. The main highway from the capital at Ankaia to Inslanbul was 300 miles long, but it look a whole day to by in good weather.

The general impression was that it has already been placed on order. Some of it has already been shipped and is being unloaded under U. S.
