THE INFILTRATION DANGER
(By George S. Benson, President Harding College)
One of the ever-present dangers to American freedom
is the mistaken belief among so many of our people that
our freedom-giving institutions are too strong to become
critically affected by infiltration of a few Communists
or Socialists. The facts of history reject such a belief but
it nevertheless prevails. Most Americans simply cannot
accept the idea that a few Communist “cells” or a few
Fabian Socialist “nests” could gain any real crippling
control over our institutions.
But actually that is one basic secret of the rad
cal zealots—small and relatively unnoticed in number,
cunning in strategies, powerful in influence. The public
is lulled into a false sense of security; and then one day
the people awake to find their national institutions con
trolled by the once insignificant little handful. A read
ing of the classics of Communism or a study of steps
to power engineered by the English Fabian Socialists
clearly shows that by their own designs these destroyers
of individual freedom are never more than a handful
compared to the population of the nations they sabotage.
Czechoslovakia is the classic example of the Commun
ist technique of conquering through infiltration. The
Russian-controlled Czech Commies poisoned President
Eduard Benes’ mind with the idea that a Socialist eco
nomic system could be operated within the framework
of Czechoslovakia’s freedom-giving national govern
ment. He helped establish “democratic Socialism” in his
nation. The Moscow trained “Socialists” helped operate
it. And a Communist cell infiltrated every Czech insti
tution, gained powerful influence. One day they took
absolute control and the people were powerless to resist.
The coming to power of the Fabian Socialists in Great
Britain is still a better awakener for the millions of
Americans who are so reluctant to be forewarned, “It
could happen here!” Dr| Christopher Daniels, the dis
tinguished British physician and business man now lec
turing in America, makes the following statement:
“Any movement that can overwhelm England is capa
ble of overwhelming any other nation in the world to
day.”
The Federal Government will never be able to econ
omize so long as every Congressman is judged by his
ability to “bring home the bacon.”

Giving Information
YOKOHAMA, (/P) — Col. John
E. Baird of Saylesville, R. I., de
nied last week he supplies mili
tary information to an attractive
Korean woman under death sen
tence from a Korean military
court as a Red agent.
The woman, Miss Kim Soo Im,
39, testified in Seoul that she
tasked Colonel Baird, then pro
vost marshal, when U. S. army
forces would leave Korea and
when Korean police would be dis
armed.
I She said she asked, not to learn
I military secret, but because she
feared Baird would depart. She
said she passed the information
on to Pak Min Ho. a Korean com
munist. because he, also, was
working for the U. S. army and
was afraid of losing his job.
Interviewed here before his de
parture for the United States,
Colonel Baird said the woman
had never worked in his office.

in a counter-attack.
It reached Seoul’s outskirts
with little or no resistance for
the last dozen miles
Exact whereabouts of the north
ern column was not mentioned in
this dispatch filed at 2:20 a.m.,
Korean time.
Local official report had the
northern tanks nine miles north
of Seoul at 10 p.m., today and
pushing ahead fast. This morn
ing they were said to be on the
outskirts.
Southern resistance collapsed at
Uijongbu, 12 miles north of Seoul.
A further defense was being put
up three miles south, but there
were no details.
The American embassy burned
its important secret papers in a
huge bonfire. Air raid sirens
screeched. The city was buzzing
after four northern planes straf
ed downtown streets.
The flying column rushed tow
ard here from the Uijonbu Val
ley. A southern counter offensive
there failed miserably during the
day. Heavy artillery softened up
Uijongbu defenders and the tanks
pushed them out of town after
savage street fighting.
Two southern divisions totalled
20,000 men dug in outside of the
town of Uijongbu. But the de
termined onslaught of heavy
tanks pushed them aside and the
northern invaders, who were
halted temporarily yeste r d a y ,
rolled on toward the capital.
President Syngman Rhee and
his cabinet were in emergency
session at midnight, where south
ern forces were reeling or knock
ed out.
Truman Pltdgn U. 8. Supper!
WASHINGTON, VP)—President
Truman today pledged full United
States support of United Nations
efforts to end the “unprovoked
aggression” against South Korea.
In a statement, the President
declared:
“Willful disregard of the obli

tolerated by nations that support
the United Nations Charter."
He said the United States is
pleased with the speed and deter
mination of the U. N. Security
Council in ordering a withdrawal
of the invading forces.
Then his statement added:
“In accordance with the resolu
tion of the security council, the
United States will vigorously sup
port the effort of the council to
terminate this serious breach of
the peace.
“Our concern over the lawless
action taken by the forces from
North Korea, and our sympathy
and support for the people of Ko
rea in this situation, are being
demonstrated by the cooperative
action of American personnel in
Korea, as well as by steps taken
to expedite and augment assist
ance of the type being furnished
under the mutual defense assist
ance program.
Those responsible for this act of
aggression must realize how seri
ously the government of the
United States views such threats
to the peace of the world.”
