Communist threat or governing threat in America speech
Chicago economist Dr Ruth Alexander warned at the Northeastern Retail Lumbermen’s convention that communism abroad is less dangerous than the socialistic trend at home. She argued the federal government has become socialistic and urged organized opposition to prevent communistic authority, urging Americans to resist what she called the Europeanization of America and the “cold war” ascent of a planned economy.

The Hoover commission plans to issue reports to Congress this week detailing task force findings. It argues reforms could save 3 to 4 billion dollars annually by eliminating waste and overlap in areas such as government purchases, construction, the post office, and hospital services across all branches.
