The memo was to the effect that independent groups should list membership and names of officers and speak­ ers engaged and affiliations with, outside organizations with Comcil. After many discussions pro and con regarding the memo and many votes taken Comcil pulled a double com­ promise on the Gould Memo. Speaking in defense of YPA, Ruth Markowitz,.Co- chairman slated that she feared that the necessity of signed names would drive controversial groups into non- existance* Re-stating the YPA principal of non-coopera­ tions, she said the group would rather disband than give up its principals. (See Antioch Record Vol. 10, No. 13) Following the compromise requiring lists of five of­ ficers and the number of regular members, and urging-but not requiring faculty advisors, YPA chairman Fran Cress and Ruth Markowitz, in a statement to the Record said that as defined by the legislation, YPA is "automatically non-existance, although not by choice of the membership.” (Antioch Record Vol. 10, No. 14). It was also reported that at a recent meeting of mem­ bers of Antioch the faculty and officers of the YPA, Prof. Alexander as chairman of the meeting, told the YPA group that it had been definitely established that the YPA organization has been organized, financed and its affairs directed by the Communist Party. And since the YPA would not list their entire membership, they would have to disband.----- - ♦ Could this be swishing some of the dust from the skirts that “were so clean” ? The public has not yet been told who the other nine Were who were members of the campus Marxist study group, It seems a little ironical for officials of Antioch to request that organization membership lists be submitted, when they themselves will not stand up and be counted, and let one or two men "take the rap” for them, rather than to divulge their well kept secret. y e u r W eshm fton e x c lu s ive BY ROBERT TAYLOR member of the All American Anti-Imperialist League, Associate Director of the American Fund For Public Ser­ vice and an American For Peace and Democracy. Nearing was a member of the Garland Fund, League of American Anniversary Banquet for “Mother” Ella Reeve Bloor, now deceased Communist Party functionary, (See. HUAC, Appendix IX, 1944, pages 311, 384, 764, 939, 968, and 1163.) Nearing was a Communist Party candidate for Gov­ ernor of New Jersey one year before his expulson from the Party and was a contributing editor to the Liberator. He was a member of theAdvisory Board of People’s Peace and signed a letter in defense of Communist Party leaders in recent years under the auspices of the Committee For Free Political Advocacy. He was a sponsor of the Scienti­ fic Cultural Conference For World Peacejy^l949, and was Affiliated With the defunct periodical, NeW Masses. (See HUAC, Appendix IX, 1944, pages 1425 and 1451 *, Cali­ fornia Legislature, Fourth Report of the Senate Fact- Fonding Committee On Un-American Activities, 1948, page 350; IIUAC, Review of the Scientific and Cultural Conference For World Peace, 1949, pages 47, 57 and 82). In recent years, Nearing sponsored the American Contiin- ental Congress For .Peace in 1949 and also sponsored the Southern California Peace Crusade, He has been a speak­ er for the Federation For Repel of the Levering Act, and wrote for the periodical Action For Human Welfare in 1947. (See HUAC, Report On The Communist Peace of­ fensive, 1951, page 117; HUAC, Testimony of Walter S. Steele Regarding Communist Activities In The United States, 1947, page 153; California Legislature, Senate In­ vestigating Committee On Education, 1951, pages 20 and 28.) Nearing is well known in the Yellow Springs- Antioch circle, having been a guest speaker there.

Published for over I I years, World Events claims tha t subscribers re­ ceive "a comprehensive analysis of the steadily developing international situation by a scientist whose keen mind and rigorously scientific method have won him worldwide recognition as a leader in this field.” (See “World Events” leaflet, 1952). The World Events "scientist” referred to above is Scott Nearing, Nearing claims he accepts no remuneration for his editorial services, and all publication deficits are made up by voluntary contributors.

He was a ; PAVING OUR HELL ! on his arrival at New York’s Idlewlld Airport UN Secretary General J Dag Hamnmrskjold told reporters that his mission to the Red Chinese : capital of Peiping was only the first step in securing the release of the 11 ' impilsoned American flyers and other Americans held in Red Chinese ; Jails. The UN emissary, who had flown completely around the world to ! talk to Premier Chou En-lal on his own doorstep, gave his assurance that the talks were definitely useful and that the door can be kept open for 1more talky-talk. ' But the phony "spy” convictions of the 11 flyers have not been revers­ ed, The filers have not been released, The sundry Jailed American civilians, for whom our State Department has expressed concern, have not been re­ leased, The hundreds of unreturned American POWs from tho Korean War have not been released. It seems to be impolite, or unappreciative—or something—to suggest that MV. Hammarskjold failed in his mission. But even tho most optimis­ tic One-Worlder can hardly claim he succeeded, or that Chou exactly quailed before the awesome authority of the UN. Thus, so far as Americans are concerned, the UN seems to have rack­ ed up a perfect score. It failed to win the Korean War, conducted under its auspices and restrictions, and in which Americans did most of the dy­ ing, and bleeding, and practically all of the buying. It faled to enforce the Korean truce— secured largely on the enemy's terms, and only after three years of "negotiation” in which Americans were the helpless victims of Red abuse. And now the UN has failed to enforce its mandate (voted by the Assembly 47 to 5, with the Soviet bloc abstaining) for the return of Pow’s detained after the signing of that agonizing truce. And this Is the supra-government, presumably vested with the authori­ ty of the civilized world, but which has shown Itself incapable of restrain­ ing one bandit nation, that threatens to override and nullify the Consti­ tution of the United States! We should remember that perfect score—zero. Our adulation of the UN marks the first time Americans have worshipped at the feet of failure. STAR-JOURNAL says: WARRENSBURG (MISSOURI). Postmaster-General Summerfield’s announcement that he will put an end to experimental deliveries of “Junk” mail In cities and towns is good news to them millions of persons who have been damaged or In convenienced by it. The few it benefitted are not especially concerned. . . . It Is hoped that at some future time the Post Office Department will consider steps toward relieving the rural route box-holders of the dally 'pieces of Junk mall that flood farm homes unsolicited and addressed only to "occupant” or some similar name . Many farm families would appreciate the same relief the town people have just received. MAIN S T R E E T ARR IVES Used to be that the small town youngster couldn't wait to shake the hayseeds out of his or her hair and head for tho big city. There things were happening and people knew the score. There were city people and "hicks.” What happened to the hicks? They moved to the city. There you will find the only true hicks still surviving, assuming that the term designates someone who doesn’t know what it is all about. TOO MUCH FOR SURE Certainly the rural and small­ town resident no longer qualifies as poorly Informed, and if he gets a taste for the bright lights he can satisfy It speedily. Then he comes back home and resumes his comfor­ table existence. The small-town man doesn’t have to spend his time In an area jam­ med beyond capacity with too much merchandise, to many vehicles, too much pushing and, above all, too many people he doesn’t know or rive a whoop uboUt. , ___________________________ A friend transplanted to the city quit a few years ago says that is STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, one thing he has never gotten used JESUP (GA) Sentinel asks: Isn’t it funny that so many , , .business men . . . will get up In the morning . . . refresh themsleves with advertised fruit juice . , . clean the teeth with advertised brust and tooth paste . . . wash with advertised soapS. . . .put on advertised underware . ■. . advertised hose, garters, shirt, collars an shoes and eat advertised breakfast food and bread. . . . drink advertised coffee, cocoa or tea . . - light an advertised cigarette . . . with an advertised match or lighter . . . go to the office in an advertised car . . . give letters to a ty p ist. . . who types on an advertised machine . . . uses advertised carbons . . . signs the letters with an adver­ tised pen . . . arid . . . turn down a proposal to advertise on the ground . . . that advertising doesn’t pay! to—all those people always butting their heads against stone walls.

The non-perishable crops so im­ portant to the diversified farmer- crops such as oats, barley, rye and soybeans—should be given the same protection as available to the major cash crops,” Secretary Benson in his an­ nouncement declared: “Production of these grains (the secondary feed grains) in 1954 was substan­ tially higher than In 1953 and there will be no restriction in their pro­ duction in 1955 , , »The lower sup­ ports are expected to encourage better adjustment and free flow of the four grains Into feed use.” And that la what some of the farm leaders In Washington expect to happen, which they declare will result in an inevitable flood of cheap small grains, which, plus wheat at 75% of parity next year, wifl drive 90% com into price sup­ port loan storage In great volume from the commercial com growing aread. Then with • new “com surplus” on their hands the flexi­ ble support adherents will offer this new surplus as either an eco­ nomic or political justification for driving eom support! down further, CIRCULATION, ETC, REQUIRED B Y T H E ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912, 0T Greene Co, Journal published weekly a t Cedarville, Ohio for April 1 1933 State of Ohio County of Greene ss Before me in and for the State and county aforesaid, per­ sonally appeared Mildred R.
