 A statement Issued by the K. of c. headquarters called the proposed advertising campaign, to be spOn. sOred by the war advertising cOun. ell, the II. S. Public Health Service and the Office of War Information, "a perversiOn of patriotism and an lll.cOnSidered and morally danger Ous plan," which would "calf upon advertisers in the name of patriot. Ism to bring VD (venereal diseaseS) out Into the open"
 The K. of c. expressed concern at what 1t caleld "the frightening pOtentiallty for spiritual damage to our people, particularly to our young people. through the creation of an atmosphere of animalism as an in- evitable result, even if not desired objective" of the campaign.
 The statement urged that the pro. posed plan ought to be rejected by all advertisers and abandoned by It's sponsors"
 Experience does not support the theory that indiccrimlnate discus. sion however well informed, can rec move an afflictIon that results far more often from lapse of character than from lack of information" the statement concluded.
