A WORLD IDEOLOGICAL OFFENSIVE
(By Dr. Morris Martin)
Caux is answering the basic problem in the world to
day—is there an authority, a common authority for all
men everywhere? Authority is a question which comes
up hundreds of time a day in our lives, any time we
make decisions. Some of the decisions we make are not
very important. But statesmen are making decisions
which are of very great importance, and they are mak-,
ing them without the answer that Caux is giving to this
question—is there a common authority for all men ev
evrywhere? i
Democracv has no united voice because it recognizes
no common authority.
Communism has one answer and it is a very simple j
one. Decisions come from the Kremlin and they go,
down to the national parties, down to the cells and then
to the members. If you are a Communist Party member i
you do not decide, you obey. This system is a parody of
the sort of order we should have. The wrong idea of
democracy, of doing as you please, and the totalitarian
idea of blind obedience, have come into the world be
cause we have not lived up to something we are meant
to live up to.

THE GROWING WEST—CENSUS RESULTS
!
California and Arizona grow the most
In order to make the leap from fifth to second place,!
California made the largest relative population gain in{
the nation—52 percent. Arizona followed with a 49 per-!
cent gain. The Far West, however, did not have a mo-i
nopoly on the top places; enough'people moved into
Florida to put that southeastern state third among the:
pace-setters. Nevada Oregon, and Washington camel
next, followed bv Maryland and New Mexico. Utahi
ranked ninth, with a 25 per cent gain. Idaho’s 12 per
cent increase failed to meet the national gain of 14 per
cent. Alaska, still awaiting statehood, made the most
impressive gain of all—82 per cent, and Hawaii man-j
aged to surpass the national average with its 17 per-,
cent increase. !
Eleven per cent of the inhabitants of the United;
States live in the seven states of the Twelfth District,1
compared to only 8.7 per cent in 1940. California’s share
of the national total rose from 5.2 per cent in 1940 to j
7 per cent in 1950.
■ Oregon. W ashington C ontinue to Attract New Residents
The Pacific Northwest is another expanding area, j
The population of both Oregon and Washington increas
ed more than a third over the past decade. Declines in,
five Washington counties and three Oregon counties
were overshadowed by the great increases in most of
the other counties of these two states. An enormous in
crease of 324 per cent occurred in Benton County,
Washington as a result of atomic energy installations in
the city of Richland. That city grew from a tiny settle
ment of 247 people to a thriving metropolis of 21,793—
an increase of 8,723 per cent!
Arizona and Nevada are the second and fourth most
rapidly growing states. Impressive gains were made
even though one-fifth of Arizona’s counties and two-!
fifths of Nevada’s counties had fewer residents than in
1940. Phoenix jumped over 60 per cent to surpass the
100,000 mark, and Nevada’s Las Vegas discovered it
had 190 per cent more inhabitants than in 1940. Reno’s
52 per cent rise kept it ahead, the largest city in Neva
da, with 32,000 persons, but Las Vegas was closing in. j
Increases Greater Outside Large Cities '
With cities as crowded as they generally are, morel
and more people have decided to make their homes in
one of the suburbs of the city in which they work.1
Many of them start up a business in the suburb itself,'
as was pointed out by the 1948 census of business.

Spend $350,000
CHICAGO, (/P) — Big money
dealings by a former Capone
gangster now on federal parole
took top billing Saturday in the
Senate crime committee’s inves

The committee delved deep into
the financial activities of Paul
• The Waiter)> Ricca, reportedly
one of the bosses of a -big gamb
ling syndicate and once a top man
in the Capone mob. One commit
tee member described Ricca as
the leader of the secret “Mafia”
group.
The investigators were primar
ily interested in his $80,000
1 loan from race track operators
and <2) how he spent more than
$350,000 since his parole from
federal prison in 1947.
Sen. Estes Kefauver <D.-Tenn.> '
committee chairman, after dis
closing to newsmen Ricca’s fi
nancial dealings, expressed dis
pleasure in regard to testimony
Friday by him and other witness
es. He said the answers given the
committee by Ricca, the dapper
52-vear-old “gentleman farmer,”
were “unsatisfactory.”
“The truth has been badly
strained” by some of the witness
es, Kefauver said.
