In short, I have long studied the virus of extremism, and. Ihave always been deeply concerned whenever and wherever its symptoms have appeared especially in America and particularly in California. Moreover, as I've examined extremist propaganda,, left andright, over the years, I've been struck by the many parallels and common characteristics. In sum, I believe the virus can be isolated. An extremist is, I think, basically and above all a a zealous believerin a fanciful notion that an evil conspiracy controls or is close tocontrolling our land -our government, our press, our schools, our churches; indeed, almost every aspect of our lives. To take some further examples from the hard right: * Tothe followers of Carl McIntire, a deposed Presbyterian minister and now an anti-Catholic radio star of the far right, our churches are Communistdominated, the press is “leftist and Vatican controlled", ad infinitum. *Tothe followers of Dan Smoot, civil defense programming is "planned dictatorship", urban renewal a plot toward a "Soviet America", and so on and so on. *To the followers of Gerald L. K. Smith and his anti-Semitic Christian Nationalist Crusade, the Supreme Court, the income tax and the United Nations are only a few of the tools of the Kremlin. *To the followers of the White Citizens Councils, mental health programs, the Ford Foundation and civil rights laws, among a good deal else, are all Communist cabals. *To the followers of the Minutemen, everything from Martin Luther King to "LIFE", "LOOK" and “THE SATURDAY EVENING POST" is part of the great conspiracy. *Tothe followers of H, L., Hunt's Life Line Foundation, America's mutual security program was devised by no less than Joseph Stalin -in the 1920s -and Life Lines goes in a very big way from there, * And to the followers of Robert Welch and the John Birch Society, the CIA, NATO and DeGaulle are just three of thousands of Communist schemes and schemers. That doesn't leave much of America, or the Free World, uncontrolled -except, possibly, the Beatles. But now, to the followers of the Birch leader, Billy James Hargis, and his own Christian Crusade, now even the Beatles have been revealed as Communist agents, out to brainwash us all via rock 'n roll, (While, I might add, on the other side of the world, in Sukarno's Indonesia, a man has just been arrested as a “subversive” -for playing Beatles records, ) All this, I think, is extremist doctrine, pure and simple. --State Controller Alan Cranston, This is the first of four excerpts from a talk given July 13 at Town Hall, Los Angeles, HAMBURGERS WERE SIMPLE BALK WHEN £ DEIDED TO BECOME A FULL-TIME BaTWINGED HAMBURGER SNATCHER. »THEN THE ORIVE-IN CAME INTO BEING.

EVERYTHING ON {TI WASHINGTON CALLING NEW INVESTMENT SCHEME IS PROPOSED FOR CHILE SANTIAGO, Chile. -What is happening here could set a pattern for Latin America and, for that matter, for other underdeveloped areas where A merican investments raise the cry from the left of "economic colonialism," The ingenious proposal advanced by the Christian-Democratic government is for joint investment and control by private companies and government, The three big American copper companies that supply most of Chile's dollar earnings -Kennecott, Anaconda and Cerro -have agreed to the proposal. They are hopeful it will stabilize the situation and set taxes at agreed levels so planning for the future can be done without fearing that the rules will be changed in the middle of the game. President Eduardo Frei Montalya says Congress will approve the copper law despite the opposition of lame-duck senators of the right-wing Radical party. The goal, as Frei's brilliant economic adviser, Raul Saez, explainsit, is to increase copper production by nearly 50 percent by 1970. This calls for a joint government-company investment of $550 million. And when the program is completed, the government willhave a 51 percent interest in Kennecott with less holdings in the other two. Many observers believe this is the answer to the cry for nationalization of American companies that own public utilities, power and telephones, and basic industries such as oil and copper. That cry is certain to grow louder with the yeasty stirring of unrest on a continent where the revolution of rising demand becomes more and more insistent, underscored by a flow of Marxist-Communist propaganda, On the one hand isthe urgent need to raise abysmally low levels of living, thereby fulfilling the promise of a new government that came in with a 56 percent majority of the popular vote on thetide of the promises of the new Christian-Democrat party. On the other hand is the imperative need to raise levels of production and check inflation running at the rate of nearly 40 percent annually when Frei took office last year. One possible solution Frei and his associates have talked about is a triangular relationship --the United States, Western Europe and Latin America in one regional organization. Europe would supply the. counterbalance and the Americas would seém less of _ an appendage to the great power of the North. But Frei's deepest conviction is for the need for economic integration of South America. If each country seeks to build its own petro-chemical industry, its own nuclear power development, its own selfsufficient steel complex, the result will beselfdefeating. The Latin American Free Trade Association has made little progress as compared to a similar movement in Central America. One reason may be the suspicion of powerful North American interests, Pulling this long string bean of a country -2,700 miles of Pacific coastline with an average width of 100 miles -into the mid-20th Century is incredibly ‘ difficult. Great effort is going into the attempt to raise the level of agriculture, which is so backward that nearly $140 million of foodstuffs must be imported, with only a small fraction coming from American grants, This about equals the value of all Chile's exports, But there is in the Frei government an air of quiet confidence. The President has a warm relationship with American Ambassador Ralph A, Dungan, and the cooperation toward common.’ goals is based on mutual respect. Success for this nation of something more than eight million people willnot transform the hemisphere, but it could point to a possible path out the tangle of political and economic troubles besetting most of the continent. (Copyright 1965) ---Marquis Childs LETTER TO THE EDITOR LAND POLICY ASSAILED To the Editor: Very few people are aware that Secretary of the Interior, Steward Udall, has put out a policy directive which, unless an immediate response comes from the people, will go into effect by 1971. The Document referred to is Doc, # 65-7472, Filed in the Federal Register, July 14, 1965, Referring to private cabins on public lands which the Secretary of the Interior states will be phased out at the latest in 20 years (thosewhohave made a substantial improvement willbe given 20 years). Otherwise, those whose permit expires before 1971 willbe given until1971. But, you would not be compensated for your property. You could move it off--which cost would be prohibitive--and get only a fraction of its value in that way. The cabin owners I'find are generally under the conviction that when they built or bought the property itwas with the understanding that they would be compensated in case the Federal Government wanted the land. So you have a game similar to Russian Roulette. The last unfortunate to have purchased a cabin would have only till 1971. Thus no one would finda buyer from here on when it is the policy of the Department of Interior to'force you off the land, house and all, beginning 1971 and on up to 20 years depending when your permit expires. This not only would lose California millions of dollars in taxable property but the Federal Government would also lose thousands in fees. If more recreational land isneeded it is to be expected that the policy should be to reimburse the owner at a fair price or second sellthem the land at a reasonable price. The proceeds thereof would be used to develop recreational areas for the public. Those wishing to protest this confiscatory policy or make other suggestions are invited by the Department of Interior to write to Secretary of the Interior, Stewart Udall, within 30 days of July 14, 1965.
