Crusade for
Freedom"

Benjamin H. Kizer, state chair
man for the Crusade for Freedom
announced today that DR.. Ray
mond B. Allen, president of the
University of Washington, has ac
cepted the appointment as vice
chairman for Western Washington.
The Crusade for Freedom" is a
campaign to halt Communism by
broadcasting the voice of millions
of free Americans to those inn
prisoned behind the Iron Curtain.
General Lucius Clay, American
Military Governor in Germany dur
ing the Berlin airlift, and national
chairman of the CRUSADE, sum-
merized it's purpose in the follow
ing words:
THE communists are trying to
make the world think we started
the Korean war and that we are
a nation of imperialistic warmong-
ers out to conquer the world
ut is vitality important that we
step up our campaign of truth to
blast this false propaganda - to
demonstrate before the world
our true aims of freedom and
friendship for all peoples.
This is the purpose of the Cru
SADIE for Freedom in which all
American citizens are earnestly
invited to take part during the
month of September"
The symbol of the Crusade,
Clay said, is new Freedom
Bell. Eight feet high and weigh
ing ten tons, the Freedom Bell
bears the inscription, THAT
THIS WORLD, UNDER GOD,
SHALL HAVE A NEW BIRTH
OF FREEDOM, a paraphrase of
Lincoln's words at Gettysburg.
