THE PENTAGON CASE
What would you do if you were
a civilian executive in the De-
partment of Defense in the Peta-
gon in Washington and encoun-
tered a powerful force secretly
working to weaken the armed
services and sap the moral
strength of the nation? You logi-
cally would take your alarming
discovery to higher Pentagon of-
ficials. But what, would you do
if they rejected your report and
asked for your resignation? The
leading character in a new novel
just published faces such a situ-
ation. The plot, its unfolding,
and the book’s stunning denoune-
ment makes a gripping story.
The most fascinating and tanta-
lizing question about this new
book, The Pentagon Case, is:
How much of it is actual fact
and how much is fiction? It is my
opinion that key incidents in the
book have foundations in actual
fact, and that certain situations
described in the narrative are
identifiable with real situations
in our nation. If the reader is
well informed on the ramifica-
tions of the Communist appa-
ratus in the U. S A., he gets the
gnawing feeling that he book is
net fiction at all but a thinly dis-
guised report of a shocking series
of events.
Contribution to Education
The book’s author, Victor J.
Fox (an admitted pseudoym),
says on the flyleaf that the book
is fiction. Yet the denounement
of the story leave the reader
with the conviction that most of
it is not. At any rate, the book
is a timely contribution to the
Education of the American people
on the nature of the Communist
conspiracy as it works within our
nation. When I discussed the
J^ook with Herbert Philbrick,
^*-ho was an FBI counterspy for
nine years, he said to me: “One
thing for sure; there is enough
authencity in this book to make
it a bombshell!”
The book is not a polished pro-
fessional job of fiction writing.
But “Victor J. Fox” has such
naked realism that professional
polish wasn’t required. The writ-
er is identified as “a highly-decor-
ated veteran who enlisted be-
fore Pearl Harbor, rose to senior
officer status, and whose cita-
tions, for personal combat, stress
attack against superior enemy
forces. He also served in staff,
intelligence, and planning and
policy echelons of one of the
Armed Services during World
War II and the Korean War, plus
extended assignments as a spe-
cialist in enemy psychological
warfare techniques.”
How Reds Work
The Pentagon Case is publish-
ed by Freedom Press, 520 Fifth
Avenue, New York 36, N. Y. It
should be available at all book-
stores, or can be obtained at
bookstore cost, $3.95, from The
Bookmailer, Box 101, Murray
Hill Station, New York 16, New
York.
The book describes, with com-
manding authority, how Com-
munist infiltrators work ther way
into magazines, movies, television
and other communications media
by actually fooling and using
non-Communists to front for
them. The Communist propa-
ganda thus planted takes- several
tactical dirctions: it creates dis-
respect for vital institutions in
the structure of the American
way of life, it creates sympathy
Itor objectives being secretly
^pushed by the Communist ap-
paratus, it turns group against
group, it sets about undermining
«fthe moral fiber of our people,
especially the youth of America.
Our Destruction Sought
The main stream of propa-
ganda encountered in the Penta-
gon by the book’s principal char-
acter, Brett Cable, is designed to
weaken and ultimately destroy
service morale. The propaganda
is contained in magazine articles,
particularly those published in
magazines catering to the serv-
ices and to high-school-age boys.
In the story, the conspirators
have worked so cunningly that
they obtain signed endorsements
of the magazines from high rank-

CPS Home Service
Advisor Visited
Here Last Week
Miss Isabel Herndon, Home
Service Advisor of Community
Public Service Company’s gen-
eral office of Fort Worth, has
visited Leonard, Celeste and
Trenton high school homemak-
ing departments the past week.
Thursday of last week Miss
Herndon gave a demonstration
in Leonard school and explained
not only the value of electric
cooking but the actual construc-
tion of the electric unit, thei:
durability and safety of oper-
ation as well as the ease and
convenience of maintaining a
clean range. By cooking with
the oven controlled heat and
automatic timers both on surface
and oven units, not only the vita-
mins can be preserved but the
electric range user will have
more time to do many other
things while she is preparing
her meals.
Friday, Miss Herndon visited
the Celeste homemaking depart-
ment and Monday she gave her
deemonstration in the Trenton
school. She was accompanied by
Mrs. Frances Taylor, local CPS
cashier, Mr. Hurst, local man-
ager, and Mrs. Hurst.
Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Jackson
and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harris
and son Bobby of Ft. Worth were
recent visitors in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Whitworth.
ing Pentagon officials. Such
magazines can be found on news-
stands all over America today.
Only a comparatively few
people are aware of the extent
and power of the Communist
propaganda apparatus which is
estimated to be spendinb $40
million a year in America. As
a noted psychiatrist explained:
“People condition their minds to
blot out unpleasant things. The
Communist menace within this
country is unpleasant to contem-
plate. Most people direct their
thoughts to something more
pleasant. Therefore, they build
up a subconscious disbelief in the
reality of such a thing.”
But it is real, and thus more
of our people must be shocked
into awareness of its danger, so
that our great system which has
enabled us to have prosperity
and freedom will survive the at-
tacks against it.
Red Cross Drive C. F. Gaulden
Set For Monday
Night In Leonard
The Red Cross Drive, accord-
ing to Mrs Paul H. Taylor, chair-
man, will be held Monday night
from 7 to 8 o’clock. Volunteers
are asked to meet at the Com-
munity Public Service office by
6:45 p. m. when materials will
be issued. The drive is being
sponsored by the B&PW Club.
Mrs. Harl Hudson is serving as
co-chairman.
The people of Leonard are
asked to turn their porch lights
on or raise their blinds to the
top so the workers will know
the residents have their contri-
butions ready.
Even though Leonard has been
fortunate in not having a dis-
aster in which Red Cross assist-
ance has been needed, should we
be reminded how valuable it
would be if a tornado or some
other similar disaster should
strike our town. Let’s support
the drive and feel that we have
helped those who need help.
Volunteers are needed—if you
are willing too work please no-
tify Mrs. Taylor or Mrs. Hudson.

Asks Voters Aid
In Mayor’s Race
TO THE CITIZENS OF
LEONARD
I ask your support for the of-
fice of Mayor of Leonard. I have
lived around Leonard all my life
and have tried to live a life that
I am not ashamed of. I have
reared and educated my three
children here. I moved to town
six years ago and have tried to
improve my place each year.
If elected, I will strive to make
Leonard a better place to live. I
have always been for Leonard
having a factory. That is one of
my main reasons for announcing
for Mayor. I think there is
something that can be done to
get a a factory here.
I will assure you that I will
cooperate with the City Council
and we will do everything in our
power to help every citizen of
Leonard, not showing any par-
tiality to anyone.
I am very proud of my job'at
Greenville. I can bring money
to Leonard that wouldn’t have
been here. The many people
that work out of town sure help
to keep the business up to the
standard that it is now. If there
were housing available, we would
have about forty or fifty families
living here now that work at
Temco. I will try to get more
housing available so it will en-
courage more people to move to
Leonard.
As for the streets, I think each
street should be an all weather
street and be sure to maintain
the ones we have so we won’t
lose them.
I have a very deep respect for
the older people of Leonard.
There is no one that thinks any
more of them than my wife and
I. My mothter is up in age. My
wife’s father is 97 and her moth-
er 86. You can understand why
we respect older people any
place.
I think the fire department is
our prize organization. I think
every fireman should have a pat
on the back every time we meet
them. As for the money they
make, they should have every
dime they can get. Each of us
depend on them for protection
every day. They risk their lives
every time they go to a fire.
I urge everyone to vote April 1.
I would appreciate your vote.

Rep. Turman Says Our Aging Populatioa
Problems Are Concern To State Gov’t
James A. Turman of Gober,
State Representative of Fannin
County, recently returned from
Atlanta, Georgia, where he rep-
resented Texas at the Southern
Conference on Aging, sponsored
by the Council of State Govern-
ments.
The purposes of the conference
were: to review what the states
are now doing to meet the needs
of their older citizens, to review
suggestions for state action; and
to indicate the kinds of resources
—state and federal—available o
the states for assistance and
guidance.
Life expectancy is greater now I
than over before. Today, there
are 14.5 million people 65 years
of age and over where in 1900
there were only 3 million. In
1965, we can expect this figure to
rise to 18 million. This is not
only an increase in actual num-
bers, but also in the proportion
of the total population.
Practically every state last
year gave special attention to
the needs of its older citizens.
The major areas of interest were:
employment, income, housing
health, education and recreation,
research and training. These
mountnig problems facing our
senior citizens in the South made
up the central theme of’ the con-
ference, Turman said.
The major emphasis has been
that of increasing employment
opportunities for older persons.
In the area of income mainten-
ance, heaviest stress is put on
ways and means of meeting the
catastrophic stress of major ill-
nesses. Some states have al-
■ ready undertaken special efforts
in housing the aged through
subsidies to local housing au-
thorities which meet the special
needs of aged persons, state loan
funds for non-profit developers,
state guarantees of housing
bonds, etc.
Most of the states have estab-
lished a division of chronic dis-
eases in their Health Depart-
ments, provide financial supports
for geriatric research, and1 give
state aid to nuusing and old age
homes which meet proper stand-
ards of rehabilitative services to
the aged.
With respect to education and
recreation, about one-third of
the states sponsor, and provide
for, adult education programs.
Some states have established
state recreation agencies and the
movement for professionally-
staffed recreation centers of vari-
ous kinds is spreading widely
and rapidly. Research and fram-
ing in the field of gerontology, as
in other fields are essential. Spe-
cial appropriations for research
and training and being made in
some universities and varfon
state departments and agencies.
Rep. Turman stated that h
received these and many mo®
useful suggestions and ideas at.
the Atlanta conference which
could be used in his state com-
mittees as the basis for proposed
legislation for the 56th Legisla-
ture, all of which would ensure
self-reliant, productive lives on
the part of older citizens and for-
sustained, creative activity by-
them.
“At present, Texas is not much
above average in comparison
with the other state programs
for the aging. However, I hope
that my committee can recom-
mend ways and means to the
legislature for expanding em-
ployment, productive opportuni-
ties, and state services for our
senior citizens. The problems of
our aging population are an in-
creasing concern to all state gov-
ernments. I feel tthat oppor-
tunities for employment, for a.
continued productive and healthy-
life for older persons are essen-
tial to a strong state govern-
ment,” Turman said.
