From Mason C ,unty Friday
Shelton tomorrow will have the
ear of, Congress when five local
citizens tell Senator Warren G:
Magnuson how Canadian lumber
imports have hurt the commun-
ity.
Testifying in Olympia before
Magnuson, who is chairman of the
Senate Committee on Interstate
and Forei,m Commerce, will be
Charles Savage, business repre-
sentative of Local 3-38, IWA, and
a former Congressman himself;
A. Roy Dunn, local realtor,
representing the Shelton-
Mason County Chamber of Com-
merce; John K. Bennett, sales
manager for Graystone of Shel-
ton, representing the Junior

paster, Mason County superinten-
dent of Schools, and Elroy Nelson,
sawmill worker and city commis-
sioner-elect.
THE HEARING, which is open
to the public, will begin at 10 a.m.
fin House Committee Room Two
in the Capitol Building, Olympia.
It is expected to be one of the
biggest Congressional hearings
held in the region in recent years,
with over 100 organizations and
individuals requesting in advance
the opportunity to present testi-
mony.
In addition to citizens from
Shelton, McCleary, Elma, Monte-
sona, Aberdeen and Olympia, com-
mities throughout Oregon, Wash-
ington and Idaho will be repre-
sented.

Fire Levels
Rural Home
A rural house in the Pioneer
district was leveled by fire Fri-
day evening that, according to
Shelton Fire Chief. T. E. Deer,
"could have been saved if there
was a rural fire dtstrict in the im-
mediate area."
Cecelia Castle was awakened by
the fire about 9:15 which started
at the rear of the house in a wood
shed. Mrs. Castle told Shelton fire-
men that she had been burning:
trash ngar .the.. pod, hed ou ,b
lieed:she had t)ut o0t the flame
before going in the house.
Neighbors, who were present at
the blaze managed to remove a
good deal of the furnishings and
personal belongings £rom the home
but a lack of water in sufficient
quantity was given as the reason
for the destruction of the house.
Although the house was totally
destroyed, firemen were able to
save the garage. The house had
been built about 40 years ago by
Mr. Castle.
Deer also stated tha.t if a suffi-
cient fire fighting force had been
available the fire could have been
checked while it was still in the
wood shed. He said, "Even though
the fire. was out of our district we
were obligated to help since the
area does not have a volunteer
force of its own.
Cadets Begin
Rescue Training
Today marks the beginning of
an extensive search and rescue
training program involving over
125 Civil Air Patrol cadets from
Western Washington in the 14-18
age bracket. This is the third
consecutive year the annual pro-
gram has been staged in the Shel-
ton area.
TIed first two days of the four
day program will be filled with
Classroom training and prepmttion
for the field event to take lace
over the Easter week-end. P
The field problem will be a lo-
cation and evacuatmn exercise of
pel'sonnel from a simuhted air-
craft (irash site. A new" addition
to the .realism of the problem this
year will be the utilization of
C.A.P. personnel rather than dum-
mies that have been nsed in the
past for evacuation purposes.
The cadet co-ordinator for the
program is 17-yea/.-old-St.aft Ser-
geant Bob Eierman from Tacoma
who will be WOrkifig with the ap-
proximately 30 senim, members 0f

the instructors.

Anti-Communist Lecture Heard
By Vets Of World War One
Glen GrOVe, a mmber of the
Veterans of WWl, 1,resented u tape
recording from his personal "Free-
dora Library," by lterber Phllbricl¢
on the cybernetic wartare phase
of the communist ntovemenL in the
United States at a meeting of the
vets last Thursday evening.
The tape consisted of a brier
resume of Philbriek's 9-year ex-
perience as tt COlnlnunist eonnLer-
spy for the.Federal Bureau of in-
vestigation during which he en-
countered the tactics used by com-
munists in influencing and con-
trolling the minds o£ innocent ell.i-
tens as well as their own follow-
ers.
Philbricl¢ first came in contact
with the connnunist party when
he consented to join a youth or-
ganization, entitled the Cambridge
Youth Council. When he discovered
the organization was established
and controlled by the communists
he went to the F.B.I. who convinc-
ed him to stay on at the organiza-
tion to determine the communist
plans. This led to 9 years of a
triple life that is dramatized in the
television series, "I Led Three
Lives."
PHILBRICK POINTED out how
the communists use the psycho-
logical tactics discoverd by a non-
communist, a Russian scientist
named Parlor, who discovered tllat
animals can be conditioned t.o re-

showed how the eolnnlunists hve
used these words to their own
ends, For example, ']?lie Abraham
Lincoln School and American
Youth for Democracy, both, ac-
cording to Philbriek, communis£
controlled organizations.
Philbrick also pointed out that
some words stimulate an nnfav()r-
able reaetlon such as the word
communism itself. 1-te stated that
this feeling was responsible £or Lhe
changing of the name "Con11lunlst
Youth Organization" to "American
