RED HORIZON-Political observers see new evidence daily of the prominent place the issue of Communism will have in the coming presidential campaign.
Mr. Truman's benevolent reference to "Old Joe" Stalin as a "prisoner of the Politburo" was one indication of the fact that the Communist issue is ever in the minds of the top office-seekers.
The numerous anti-Red investigations of the House un-American Activities Committee also have served to point up the issue.
Of course, the controversy over the Mundt bill aimed at drastically curbing the activities of American Communists, added fuel to the fire.
The Dewey-Stassen exchanges on Communism which preceded the Oregon primary election may have been a preview of the hot arguments on the issue which in all probability will din in voters' ears this autumn.
