A Little Help
The Highway Department has recoginzed the need for
an adequate railroad crossing at the juncture of Sulphur
Springs Road (F. M. 60) with the tracks of the Texas New-
Orleans and Missouri Pacific railroads.
They have offered to spend three-quarters of a million
dollars on such a project, a four-lane underpass, if the City
of College Station, Brazos County, Texas A&M and the rail
roads agree to furnish the rights of way.
However, only Texas A&M and the City of College Sta
tion will have to donate property, and only College Station
will have to first purchase both land and retail business
property from private owners.
“We need it,” said Councilman Carl Landis at a Council
meeting Feb. 27. But the Council also wondered, “Can we
afford it?”
First a cost estimate will have to be made. Then the
Council plans to meet with the Brazos County Commission
er’s Court to see if the county will help in the right of way
procurement.
College Station is small, yet, in terms of actual money
to be spent, its outlay will be the greatest. The cost to the
county will be negligible.
The underpass would not benefit the city alone. It is to
be located on one of the main arteries leading out of Brazos
County. And we need it. The safety an underpass could
afford to motorist would alone be worth any cost of con
struction and right of way procurement.
The Battalion hopes that when the City Council meets
with the Commissioners, an agreeable arrangement can be
formulated for the good of the entire Brazos County area.

Editor,
The Battalion:
In reading the Feb. 22 issue of
The Battalion I was heart sick
to find that we have professors
at A&M College who would write
such a letter as the one entitled
“indentifiable goal.”
These men have made refer
ence to opinions voiced by a num
ber of ultra-liberal newspapers
which are no more than parrots
of the Communist propoganda
line.
The film “Operation Abolition”
is neither controversial nor false
in any manner. The Communist
conspiracy was merely shown in
its full revolting naked true
form. Assuming that these pro
fessors are popr misguided souls
I would like to suggest that they
inform themselves concerning

Editor,
The Battalion:
With possibly one amendment,
I would like to endorse the let
ter published in “Sound Off”
Feb. 22.
That portion reads:
“. . . complete unanimity of
opinion is an indentifiable goal
of a totalitarian Communist
state.”
My suggestion would he to add
a phrase like “or even,” “or even
worse,” etc., between “totalitar
ian” and “Communist,” to- em
phasize a fact we often overlook
in our “red fear.” That fact be
ing that though Communism
may be the worse evil; there are
other forms of totalitarianism
that can derive from regimental
thinking.
We, as a democratic nation,
must never relax in our fight
against Communism, but we must
never accept any form of total
itarianism disguished as an es
cape from Communism.
Jim Pemberton, ’62

ucational institutions.
We are in a real war with
Communism now and have been
since its inception. They are
dedicated atheists who have no
moral obligations which govern
God fearing men. They lie, mur
der, cheat, and steal for further
ance of the Communist conspir
acy without any sense of guilt.
The House Un-American Activ

The title “Operation Abolition”
is the Communist code for de
stroying its mortal enemy, the
House Un-American Activities
Committee. If they can accomp
lish this the American people will
be lulled to sleep, and awaken
some day to find that it is too
late to recapture our free repub
lic from this dastardly group.
I am thankful that we still
have young men such as the edi
tor of The Battalion who will
fight for their American heri
tage, and not be “brain washed”
by “fuzzy thinkers.”

Editor,
The Battalion:
In the letter “identifiable goal”
printed by The Battalion, Feb.
22, 1961, mention is made of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee and The American
Ordnance Association. In addi
tion, such “news media” as The
Washington Post, The Christian
Century and The Reporter have
identified “Operation Abolition”
as forgery by film: In addition,
The San Francisco Chronicle,
whose editors are mature ? ex
perienced? journalists?, have
pointed to “the heresy,” “the
questionable use of the taxpay
er’s money” and “the violation of
individual liberties” arising out
of the practices of HUAC. The
above “news media” are consist-
ant in the editorial written by
some of their correspondents.
Also, the letter states, “It must
be made clear that, although the
film is designed to support the
activities of the HUAC, honest
and loyal men in th^ United
States disagree over the desire- ( st ad
ability of the committee’s con- stat
tinued existence.”
To the gentlemen who wrote „ -j u n
this article, may I ask, who are the G
these honest and loyal men in the
United States you are talking' *
about? Who are they honest
'with and who are they loyal to?
