BILL HICKLIN EDITOR Sound Off P4LAC! Bro,n2;««J .. not fictitious ’ Editor, The Battalion: In regard to the letter pub lished in The Battalion Feb. 22, we would like to present the fol lowing thoughts. We quote from your column, “Sound Off:” “A free society is character ized by the existence of individ uals who publicly take positions on issues of the day—including un-popular, minority positions.” If this is an admission of rep resenting a minority group; we are not questioning the point. However, the letter and its theme might be questioned. The fact that this and thousands of other articles can appear in the newspapers of this free land in dicates that this is still Ameri ca. Should we be labeled a Com munist State because there is a complete unanimity (with few exceptions) of opinion ? On the contrary, this opinion, which is the opposition against those who would subvert our very beliefs, is extremely detri mental to the Communist goal. We are thankful that the people of these United States are unani mous in their hatred for the “Red” movement. If “Operation Abolition” is not authentic, (doc umented evidence asserting oth erwise), it has stimulated the minds of many Americans and agitated those in opposition. This stimulus may have reached us even too late, but God is on our side. The Com munists have admitted that this belief in God is what they fear in their attempt to undermine America. For the sake of truth we would encourage the aca demic community to see the film before criticizing something that is placing stumbling blocks in the path of our foe. To state that various religious groups, journalists, labor groups and faculty members have op posed “Operation Abolition” ^m- ly indicates that we have been lulled to sleep in the last 15 years just as millions were deceived by Castro. The Communists are working on all types of fronts and we the people need to awaken. Lenin prophesied, “First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion of Capi talism. We will not have to at tack, it will fall like an over-ripe fruit into our hands.” Can you realize just how much of this statement has occurred and can be documented day after day in our newspapers ? J. Edgar Hoover says in “Mas ters of Deceit,” “The Commu nists have already planned to move the Capitol from Washing ton to Chicago and they plan to put to death one out of every three Americans.” We ask the readers of this column, should we take our place in the grandstands and applaud the efforts of the enemy? We say “No!” The game to be played between 1961 and the magic date of 1973 (when this over-ripe fruit is to fall) must be won by those who are yet free. — To state that individuals from various groups, members of sev eral university staffs and sev eral newspapers in California op pose the film proves nothing. It does show that some are misin formed. Hoover said in “Communist Target—Youth,”* that “the party was in an advantageous position because as early as 1959 teach er’s groups, church organizations, civil liberties groups, and a few newspapers in the San Francisco area were opposing the hear ings.” If such things are in order, why worry over the findings of the HU AC? Why shouldn’t we have some group to question the Browns, the Brodskys, the Mick ey Limas and the other individ uals who vow to destroy us. Let us know who we are fighting to keep America free! We should not doubt the ex istence of Communist activity that is shown in “Operation Abo lition.” For further documenta tion read “Communist Target— Youth,” which reveals that the demonstrations were skillfully Social Calendar The following organizations will meet on campus: Tonight The Hill Country Hometown Club will meet in Room 205 of the Academic Building at 7:30 p.m. The Pre-Yeterinary Society will meet in the Ampitheater of the Veterinary Hospital at 7:30 p.m. The Bell County Hometown Cllub will meet in Room 2-B of the Memorial Student Center at 7:30 p.m. The Midland Hometown Club will meet in the YMCA at 6:30 p.m. The Port Arthur Hometown Club will meet in Room 104 of the Biological Sciences Building.

Examples of typical Communist action are as follows: The San Jose Club of the San ta Clara County Communist Par ty circulated petitions and pub lished protests in the news papers. Oakland Communist Par ty members arranged for radio broadcasts and advertisements in local papers. Fund drives were initiated in various clubs to pro vide financial support for the at tack. and other campuses was paying dividends. Merle Brodsky (an active leader in Communist Par ty affairs in California for more than 20 years), boasted that he was calling everyone he has ever known to support these demon strations. On the evening of May 6, 1960, party members held a meeting to assess their progress and plan further activity. Mickey Lima (self-professed boy Communist from the University of Califor nia) stated that activity on his rWHtRE-THI-BlST-PICTURES-PlA'n it CHILORENUNDER12 YEAR*- f R££ Wednesday - Thursday - Friday “THE 3 WORLDS OF GULLIVER” with Kerwin Mathews Plus “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY” with Mitzi Gaynor Corps Juniors & Sophomores Year book Portrait Schedule JUNIORS & SOPHOMORES in the corps will have their por traits made for the “AGGIE- LAND ’61” according to the fol lowing schedule.
