VT. v. BROADCAST TO
VIEW CONNIE BATTLE

The Communist battle for power
in the United States and Sc other
countries is described in a program
to be broadcast by station KGHL a.
4:15 Saturday, April IL, under spon-
sorship of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
The 15-minute program will dis
cuss the real reason behind Presi-
dent Truman's appeal for aid to
Greece and Turkey, congressional
action against the American COM
munist party and the counter moves
by 1000, 900 red leaders to destroy
democracy through worldwide revo-
luton.
Paul Schuman, commander of Bill
lings post No. 1884, V. F. W., said
today that the program will name
cities where communist schools in
struct students in what they must
do to overthrow the United States
government.
"There is a great deal more to
President Truman's appeal for
Greece and Turkey than merely
changing our foreign policy" Schu-
man declared. "We are threatened
by a new totalitarian force and this
time we don't have to look far be-
yond the limits of our own city to
find the danger.
The radio program sponsored by
the Veterans of Foreign Wars ex-
plains what those dangers are and
how citizens a and should unite
Communism"
The program is the latest in a
series of "Speak Up For Demo-
broadcasts prepared by the
department of Americanism, Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars.

Union, however, has not yet received
word of the Presidents decision.
The conference invitations were
delayed because Of the dispute over
the omission of Nicaragua from the
list. And this question has been
creating quite q stir over at the Pan
American Union Building for many
days. When the final meeting to
discuss the affair went into dead
lock Friday q COMMITTEES was ap-
pointed to make the decision.
Two OF the republics in the union
have recognized the present Mica
raguan government and their repre-
sentatiyes on the Governing Board
are holding out in favor of including
Nicaragua, also member OF the
union.
At the request of the Brazilian
government the Pan American
Union has sent out invitations to all
republics that are members Of the
union with the exception OF Mica
ragua. Brazil stipulated that only
the countries with whom she enjoys
diplomatic relations be invited. AS
that country does not recognize the
present regime of Nicaragua, this
republic was omitted. -
The committee will hand down its
decision some time this week. In
the meantime the countries invited
are appointing their delegates and
