This angry group demonstrated against the speaker by burning a 15-foot cross outside the building, by shouting and threatening to burn the building in which the Communist was speaking. Three persons attacked a reporter for an Oklahoma City paper as hq left the meeting place to telephone the story to his newspaper. These actions, although they were against a member of a group with which I we Violently disagree, were just the type tof actions the speaker needed. “This is a symbol of the very thing I’ve been discussing,” the party leadeif told his 40-odd audience. “It’s mass hys/ teria, closed minds. Happening on a uni versity campus it is an ominous sign. This is where ideas should be discussed with open minds.” V Regardless of political philosophy, free dom of the speech still reigns in our coun try. Mob action such as this can do noth ing to destroy Communism here, but only aids In defeating the fight against it. 7i Such can be shown by the action against the news^nan, who was only carry ing out an assigpjment, one not uncommon Still others attend these satisfy their beliefs in to further their knowl-' science.
