"On Your Broad Shoulders, Mr.. Naegele"

lfered-but how many innocent peO-
pies lives are ruined.
You are setting the first posts for
Americas concentration camps with
your strong arms, Mr.. Naegele.
If this country is ever melted to
revolutionary tactics you are aiming
the first guns. 1t will be in defense,
and not offense that our ''five or six"
Communists will raise their arms.
Who they are am sure few know,
but if there are five or six and the
FBI knows, surely that is all that is
necessary-must we drag them out
and burn them at the stake?
Keep tanning, tanning, tanning,
Mr.. Naegele. On your strong should
ers will rest mighty burden when
you have the flames out of control,
and you have turned Montana's citi-
zens into individual gestapo agents
when hatred and fear-fear and hat
red, take over the faces of our friends
and neighbors.
For many, many months | have
looked for some the insidious pro-
paganda sent out by the Commun-
lists, but have so far been unsuccess-
full except for a Polish magazine
and [ guess Poland is Communistic.
Therefore | would be totally unpre-
pared to know what to look for in
my neighbors- I don't like very
well-they don't like my kids-so,
they could be Communists, guess
[ could say so and cause them a lot
of grief-as much as they've caused
me-and, don't think Mr.. Naegele,
that Cant Happen Here!
I should so much rather see your
beautiful brown-eyed grandson and
my red you'll pardon the express
sion) head grow up side by side at the
ballot box settling our state and ma
tional politics even world poll
tics, Mr.. Naegele, but the path you
would lead us down can but end in
bitter internal clashes. From there
our democracy would be at an end,
no matter who won-and we too then
would have to work our way up the
long hard road to another democracy.
We can live at peace but first we
must not hate. We must have clear
minds to think our way out of these
dilemmas-we must be free-you
and [ to work our way along the road
to better America.-A HELENA
MOTHER.

When my heart feels like lead in
my chest after reading the local daily
and it's copious diet of murders, mis-
haps, tragedy and Communist warn
ings I have to talk pretty strong to
myself. l say "This is America-we
surely will work out this awful thing
that is happening to US before it
ruins us completely"
But tonight l feel more depressed
than usual. The week brought riots
in New York, burning crosses in the
South-inciting to hatred-inciting
to misunderstanding to kill!
Then the local angle-Mr. Eugene
Naegele. I have seen Mr.. Naegele
on the street. I have talked to him
on the telephone. I'm sure he must
be a kind, good man. But how can
he do to Montana what he is doing?
Does Mr.. Naege1e realize that by
making speeches like he made to the
Lions Club, to the Rotarians, that
he is sewing the seeds of suspicion
that grow into fear and hatred ?-The
same fear and hatred that made rela-
tives and friends betray each other
in Germany, and so completely de-
moralized all it's people. Son spying
on parents-often giving that very
son a chance to see his father led to
a concentration camp.
Mr.. Naegele, have you no idea what
it means to be spied on, to be held
in suspicion because of race, creed
or religion? If only the guilty suf-

Father Keller, whose subject will

head of a movement known as THE

The purpose of the movement, which

ing Christian principles into govern
ment, labor and management, com
muniCation of ideas-Such as news
papers, movies and radio-and edu-

One of the most remarkable things
about this movement is the fact that
there are no dues, no meetings and
no officers, which you would expect
would kill most any project before
it got started almost, but the sue
cess of The Christophers has been

fering prizes totaling $4,000 for
books and plays ''in accordance with
Christian principles" The judges
are to be such famous persons as
Katharine Cornell, Eddie Bowling

usual has been the response and
support from other believers than
Catholics. The first contribution to-
ward the prize money came from a
Methodist professor, and an Episco-
palian has given $4,000 for The
Christophers to use any way they
want.
In his lecture Father Keller will
tell you more about the movement
