1939 3 SPRINGFIELD SPRINGFIELD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, I BEHIND THE NEWS By PAUL MALLON. Reds Are "'Militant Fighting Work: Will Be Carried on Under Cover Something Appears Wrong Within the Navy 1. Naval Department Press Con- ference a Dud WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 Dies committee has evidence infernational the Communism-including that of United ground States again. -is in its about fifth to go new winder riod reflecting five changes of revolutionary policy since the Red of Russia.
Membership of the Communist Party is to be pared down to perhaps 35,000 (they have been A little careless about membership in recent years). What will he called "a militant fighting force" will be created to work inside again by trickery and infiltration to promote the revolution through creating discord in all available organizations. Changing Tactics A less compronusing toward use "imperialism" word after what Stalin did (how the Commies can Poland will be a mystery to anyone but a Communist) and toward "capitalism" already being adopted. "Popular fronts" or what is left of them are being abandoned. Financial support will be withdrawn from such deluded liberal outfits as the Amertcan League for l'eace and Democracy (committee evidence shows the Communist Party contributed about 15 per cent of the league budget).
The change appears partly A result of exposures, partly because Stalin's course is publicly indefensible every nation except Russia. New Deal Animus In this new "underground discord" period, the militant undiscouraged may even against the New Deal. You will shortly hear them denouncing it as A "fake liberal outfit." This New Deal change did not lack invitation. You will recall how D. R.
recently went out of his Hyde Park way to question legality of Earl Browder's Boston about the United States being ready for quick transition" to Socialism. Browder has used stronger language than on previous occasions without rebuke. Rel Growth Various distinct stages of Communism which led up to this currently evolving one: 1. Direct revolutionary period, 1917- 21, when open armed revolt in Russia was followed by similar unsuccessful efforts in Germany, Hungary and 'elsewhere. 2.
N. E. P. (New Economic Polkey) period, 1921-28, which compromixed extensively with capitalism even. in Russia where pay, was riven to workers, etc.
3. strife period, 1928-33. when civil war and strife was promoted directly hey political action in various countrics, mistake which brought the rise of Fascism. 4. Popular Front period, 1933-30, when the seventh world congress advocated coattail riding which resulted in the French and Spanish co-operation and in Browder, Communist candidate for president, indorsing Ar.
Itoosevelt's re-election. Navy Secrecy There may be nothing radically wrong inside the Navy, but Navy tactics are encourazing the impression that there Top-heavy destroyers and split stern posts on battleships might occasionally occur in the best regulated families, but not even the German Gestapo has been more secretive about all its affairs than the United States Navy. Acting Secretary Edison, for instance. has no regular press conferences. Newsmen are not permitted to talk with any naval offdial going through the publicity -section, and the section to make appointments except on routine happenings.
Newsmen assigned as public observers at the Navy Department became aroused recently, signed a round robin asking Edison to hold press conTerences twice a week. Finally, naval publicity announced Edison would hold one every two weeks because he WAS too busy to hold them oftener. (President Roosevelt welcomes press conferences twice a week, State SecHull holds one every day. Army officers are always open to consultation although neither Secretary Wondring nor Aseistant Secretary Johnson hold regular meetings.) 5 Added Confusion. This biweekly only added amusing confusion to naval rocalcitrance.
Mr. Edison's first press conwas postponed because he was absent. When it was held a week late, a lieutenant commander in the press section requested newsinen to limit the conference to 10 minutes because Mr. Edison WAS busy. The aide to the secretary notified reporters as they entered the room that chairs would not be provided since the conference was to be short.
It was--and unproductive. Secretive Cloud Net result of all this is the naval department occupies a plane apart 1rom other government activities, a secretive cloud from which no information emanates, not even information beneficial to Navy purposes. Publicity advisers there are not to blame. Their efforts have been mined by the admirals, who apparently are working on the not wholly illogical assumption that as long As their budget maker in the White House is they do not need to theiry about anyone else.

CHILD LEARNS xl TO TALK, READ AT SAME TIME Progress in New Experiment in Infant Education Is Demonstrated girl NEW who YORK, learned Nov. to 21 read (AP) as -A sho little was learning talk, read today without missing a word her favorite story of the Little Black New Experiment It was a demonstration of progress made in a now experiment in infant education, on the theory that the proccEscs of reading and speech can develop together to the child's advantage. A tiny figure in a short pink dress, with her white-shod feet swinging under the table, Claudette Raheb, three, read with the poise of a six-years-old.
Almost as 5001 as sho learned to say "mama' and 1 "papa" sho learned to speak and such words as. "door," "table." "chair," "paper." "pencil." "watch." and "radio." In six weeks the little girl, daughter of Mr. and Drs. Sam Raheb of Brooklyn, developed a 50-word vocabulary. Now she's progressing past the primer stage, and tries to read magazines and pick out words in newspapers.
Conducted The experiment, was conducted by Raymond of the' School of Languages. with Mrs. Anita Comien of school as teacher. The method used was an associational system now widely used in schools. but the child learned to speak the word for the first time, recognize it in print, and know what it.
meant in samo lesson. Large cards with the words for casily identifiable objects were held up while the teacher pronounced them, and pointed to the object question. Later the cards were hung on objects at home as well as in Claudette's classroom. She had three on -hour le3sons a week, and soon started trying to teach her doll to read. The instructors believe children who learn to read and speak at the same time will speak more clearly and have a more explicit grasp of the word than those who learn to talk Arst and read afterward.
