When owner Rospach went to the Pentagon to appeal the 1953 suspension of Overseas Weekly by General Bolte, she was accompanied by Samuel W. Yorty. Yorty has been identified under oath as a Communist by former Party Member Arthur J. Kent. In her writings, Marion von Rospach has betrayed herself as fond of Communist-front joiners and anti-Catholics.
"General Walker did not like what Overseas Weekly was trying to do to his troops and he said so. Further, he barred Overseas Weekly Reporter Siegfried Naujocks from all of the 24th Division's installations. Naujocks had been caught seeking a pipeline into the command headquarters. A native of Danzig, Poland, Naujocks is recorded as a former Nazi mercenary living in Germany and doing the bidding of Overseas Weekly.
"As apparent retaliation against General Walker, the Overseas Weekly ran an attack by John Dornberg on April 16, 1961. The 'exposure' of the general and his problue program was repeated later on by (of course) the New York Times. And the scene was set for another witch hunt by the lunatic left.
"New stories accused General Walker of indoctrinating his troops with John Birch Society materials. This, because he made available "The Life of John Birch,' (a Baptist missionary and soldier in China) an inspiring biography which makes no mention at all of the John Birch Society. The book was only one of many generally accepted works made available to men under Walker.
"When this charge against the general seemed to be falling through, new protests were made. Walker was 'reported to have said' that Mrs. Roosevelt is 'pink' and was 'quoted as being of the opinion' that America's TV and newspapers are greatly infiltrated * * * these vague accusations against General Walker were even further obscured by the Overseas Weekly style of innuendo.
"Finally, on June 12, 1961, Secretary of the Army, Elvis J. Stahr, Jr., a recent Kennedy appointment, announced that Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker was being officially admonished for having 'made derogatory remarks' and for 'participating in controversial activities.' The Pentagon announcement made no mention of Overseas Weekly, but an Army spokesman did say that the John Birch books were being barred from Army newsstands in Europe.
"Following the admonishment, the general was removed from orders assigning him to head the 8th U.S. Army Corps in Texas.
"On May 31, 1961, all members of the staff of the Special Warfare Office in the 24th Infantry Division in Germany were transferred to other duties and the problue program, left without any staff, was destroyed.
"On June 18, 1961, the New York Times quoted an unnamed Pentagon civilian official as stating that he hoped 'the extremists' in the Army would 'get the message'from what had just happened to General Walker and 'use good judgment in what they say and do.' " End of quotes from a publication of the Patrick Henry League, Box 383, Main Post Office, Yonkers, N.Y.
Yes, my fellow Americans, your patriotic officers and men of our Armed Forces, our military, have gotten the message. They are afraid to stand up and speak out against the mortal enemy of our very American way of life, afraid to make any more talks to their fellow Americans alerting them to the nature of international communism. What on earth goes on here in the land of the free and the home of the brave? The matter of control of the military cannot be taken lightly. Do you realize the men and women throughout the land that are serving not only in our Regular Army, Navy, Marine, and Air Force, but all Americans serving in any Reserve unit or National Guard are brought under the broad scope of gagging the military. What better way for our domestic enemies to gain victories within our border than putting a clamp on the freedom of speech on those who are authorities as to the nature of communism?
However, the Communist Party's Daily Worker, in its August 13 issue, was not limiting its poisonous pen to the military. On page 5 there is a slanderous article directed at the anti-Communist efforts of our own Harding College, an outstanding Church of Christ school, located at Searcy, Ark. This article entitled, "Poisonous Web Spun from Arkansas Town" is filled with abuses and untruths. A review of such articles is adequate demonstration that no issue of civilian control of the military is really and truly involved. Military leaders have shown no evidence of violating their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. But, alas, a few notable examples of individuals high in official and political circles have recommended a revision of that greatest of all legal instruments, the Constitution of the United States. I join with the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, the Honorable STROM THURMOND, in carrying the message throughout the land that we must not allow the real purpose of the anti-anti-Communist campaingn to be camouflaged behind a smokescreen of the question of civilian control over the military. Instead, we should be thankful for military men of courage who are Godly men, men of integrity and the determination to fight the psychological war for the minds and hearts of men as well as fighting the war for materialism. The Communists fear an upsurge of patriotism in America more than anything else today. What the Commies really fear is a widespread understanding by the American people, both civilian and military, of the nature of communism and the tactics used by them to infiltrate every facet of our lives, our religions, our schools, our clubs, and our homes. When all Americans reassert once again the principles laid down by our Founding Fathers, the system of less government and more freedom of speech and more freedom of enterprise, a tremendous wave of patriotism to our American Republic will mean the complete destruction and stamping out in our land of the pre-cancerous socialism which results in a totalitarian atheistic state.
My fellow Americans, let our prayers be this day, God give America a new breath of patriotism.

Wednesday, August 30, 1961
Mr. BOW. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to join with my colleagues in paying tribute to my good friend, EUGENE KEOGH. GENE has been my next-door neighbor in the New House Office Building for several years. I know of no better way to judge a person than to live beside him, and I could want for no better neighbor. That our staffs also have had a pleasant association is, I believe, a reflection of the friendship GENE and I have enjoyed over the years. He is an able legislator and has been helpful to me on many occasions when I have consulted with him about legislative matters that I have had before his committee. I extend to him warm good wishe for continued good health and happiness.
Some Catholic Opinion on
Disarmament-I
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. ROBERT W. KASTENMEIER
OF WISCONSIN
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Tuesday, September 5, 1961
Mr. KASTENMEIER. Mr. Speaker, the President's bill to create a U.S. Disarmament Agency for World Peace and Security has been sponsored by more Members than any other specific bill in this session of Congress. With this considerable support, I am hopeful that the bill will pass before the recess and before debates on disarmament at the U.N. this fall.
As many know, backing for this legislation has come from all parts and segments of the United States. President Eisenhower has joined leading Republican and Democratic statesmen from Defense, State, and other departments in support of this bill to create a research and negotiating agency for disarmament.
Many religious bodies have also spoken out on this subject. As the following item from the August 10 Catholic Messenger indicates, the Catholic Association for Peace, and the able work of the association's vice president and director of the Peace Research Center, Father Edward A. Conway, S.J., have demonstrated the power and depth of religious feeling for a new approach to peace and security:

CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS, JEWS ASKED TO BACK DISARMAMENT
RENSSELAER, IND.-Catholics, Jews, and Protestants were urged here Tuesday to unite in support of the administration's proposals for a U.S. Disarmament Agency.
The call for prompt and united action in behalf of bills now before Congress was voiced at the Young Christian Workers' National Study Week by Father Edward A. Conway, S.J., director of the Peace Research Center at Creighton University, Omaha.
He reminded the 500 delegates meeting at St. Joseph's College that the official agencies of the three faiths had issued a joint declaration calling for progressive reciprocal disarmament in 1953.
"Today, for the first time since their precedent-setting act of interfaith cooperation," he said, "our Government shows its willingness to devote the resources required for adequate arms control planning. If the churches are still interested, now is the time for strong cooperative support of the pending legislation."
Noting with warm approval that Catholics had recently joined Jews and Protestants in united support for foreign aid and immigration measures, Father Conway asserted cooperative support of the Peace Agency bills was equally important.
"In fact," he said, "unless this runaway arms race is arrested within the next severalEpson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 24 bit, 3,595,940 byte

SECRETARY UDALL SUBMITS COMPREHENSIVE SOUTHWEST WATER
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO GOVERNORS OF FIVE STATES
Urging Unity and wholehearted Co-operation water statesmanship as imperative if a water crisis is to be headed off in the southwest, Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall today announced proposed a $1.9 billion self-amortizing program for massive cooperative development of all the water resource of the lower Colorado River.
The plan is being submitted to the Governors of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah for study. It will be the basis for far-reaching legislative proposals next year, following enTennie consultation with official of the fuie stational other Federal agencies
"The Pacific Southwest is the Nation's fastest growing and driest region," Secretary Udall said. "In the next 40 years its population will triple.

--Urban return flows, estimated at 2,700,000 acre-feet (880 billion gallons) by the year 2000 can be drawn upon for various purposes through the treatment of sewage water for re-use.
--Perfection of evaporation suppression techniques by research could save a substantial part of the more than 1,000,000 acre-feet (326 billion gallons) now lost each year from surface waters of the region.
Secretary Udall stressed that while there is room for differences on elements of the initial phase of the program, conditions would not permit further delay in a study of all alternatives. He said:
"The adoption of any final plan will require a high degree of water statesmanship by the leaders of the various states and

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. To meet head-on the present and growing water crisis in the parched Pacific Southwest, Congress should be asked to authorize a self-financing $4 billion water reso urces development program for the region, to be accomplished in two phases. a. Phase 1, at a cost of #1,921 oillion, would take care of the more immediate needs of the region. It should start in 1965 and be completed by 1985. Main elements of construction would be:
1) The Central Arizona Aqueduct system to divert 1,200,000 acre-feet from the Colorado River, becoming available in Arizona by 1974.
2) Enlargement of the California State Water Plan Aqueduct New plane for 4,800,000 feet copacity to divert an additional /2,400,000 acre-feet an from the Trinity South tunity and Rel Rivers in Northern California alf of the incrensutal copecity would become available in Southern California by 1982 and the other half to be made available to Arizona by under Phase 2 development.
3) Bridge Canyon and Marble Canyon dams and powerplants and associated transmission to meet the water pumping and comnercial power requirments of the Central Arizona Aqueduct, Southern Nevada Water Supply and Dixie projects, and the Southern California area growth. Power should be scheduled to come on the line in_from Bridge Canyon and_ from Marble Canyon.
4) The Southern Nevada Water Supply Project to provide_acre-feet by_for the growing Boulder City, Henderson and Las Vegas area, pumping from Lake Mead to the service area.
