Major military authorities regard the Twin Cities area as the nation's major center for the spread of Communism. A military officer from the University of Minnesota claims Communism is rampant at the university and that the student newspaper, the Minnesota Daily, has communist influences. He calls for public support of the ROTC program at the university. Another military officer has returned from investigating claims of Communism being taught at a local high school.

BEAVER 55
. STRIKES AGAIN
Over the weekend, St. Paul and
Minneapolis, Minn. was the scene of if
mimive. action to destroy U.S. ability
to wage war in Vietn.am. .
A group calling. itself Beaver 55.
raided Se.l.ectfve Service offices in 3
separate ICldations. All .1-A and_ J·A ,
delinquent draft files along with ledger
books and cross references were
destroyed in local boards 27 thru 48 in
Hennepin County and 87-98 In
Ramsey County. The State ottice
building housing all duplicate files was
al.so ransacked and thousands .of
back-up files for those boards- were
destroyed, The group announc&d Its
support of the Provision.al
Revolutionary Government of South
Vietnam and denounced the dratt for
"perpetuating and .. inflicting male
· chauvinism in our ctilrure.'r. ·· · ·' · ·
These . actions w.ill probably · stop
any possible inducti.on from these local
· boards for up to a. year. · This wilt
cripple almost 50% of the entire
Selective Service System in the state.
This is the largest and most effective
strike against the Selective Service
System of its kind and the firsltime a
State office was invaded .
The· group, Beaver 55, was
responsible for actions against 44 draft
boards In Indianapolis Oct. 31, and
Dow Chemical Company November
7. J t seems these actions .are
continuing as the group said they
would.
