Foreign power linked to black threat to rocket range
A House debate revealed that a Communist pamphlet accused the Commonwealth of aiming to restrain aborigines as part of a defense project. Dr Evatt said the pamphlet misrepresented the fleet plan, noting no aboriginal safety concerns but arguing the range was aimed at preventing operation of the project. The session considered action against those circulating the leaflet and possible executive discussions on further steps.

Pamphlet Attacks Australian Defence Range Plan
A communist pamphlet issued by the Australian Communist Party Central Committee argues that a proposed long range missile range in Central Australia would threaten national security. It warns that the range enables Soviet influenced weaponry and could push Australia into an Anglo American arms race while opposing alliance policies. The pamphlet features maps, captions, and accusations of imperialist aims and calls for a shift toward independence and peaceful development.
