the governments contention that de-
ception and secrecy surrounded the

~ bassador to Mexico, arrived in

EIFTEEN universities in the United
l. States are openly teaching socialist
beliefs, while proponents of commu-
nism and internationalism are using the
Federal Council of Churches, the Y.
NJ. G. A., the League of Women Voters
and college organizations to foster dis
trust of the government, according to
Fred Marvin of New York. He made
this statement in an address before
the annual convention of the Reserve
Officers Association of the United
States in Milwaukee.
'"ThoSe engaged in subversive work
against the government are using the
Y. r. G. A. with great effect to fur
ther their ends" Mr.. Marvin de-
clared 1.-THE leaders in this work
are secretaries of the organization
who were in Russia during the revo-
luton. While this is being done with
out the consent or knowledge of the
great bulk of men and women who
support the organization, the propo-
nents of communism are in executive
positions and are having their own

Relative to the League Of Women
Voters and the Federal Council Of
Churches, MIR. Marvin said: "These
are high-class organizations formed by
high-minded persons, but in some To-

supporting the policies of the subver-

Federal Council of Churches are inno-
Gently led to support those who seek
to destroy the government in the be-
lief that the propaganda is tending to
advance the teachings of Christ and
promoting world peace"
