Wilson U.
P. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct, 11 (UP)American Communists have ordered an organizing drive in basic industry areas where they best could sabotage national defense and the general economy.

"The news from Washington that the state department openly sabotaged the direct attempt of President Truman to reopen direct talks with the Soviet Union through a special ambassador shows once more who is the main culprit behind the policy of the western powers," the paper said in an editorial. "It is the same quarters who agitate for a new war against the Soviet Union, who consider the atomic bomb the key for their domination of the globe, who split Germany, who frustrate the Council of Foreign Ministers and who destroy one four-power agreement after another."
