U. N. Singled Out
The speaker singled out the
United Nations and the world
ecumenical church movement
as examples of the "one-world
propaganda" movement.
Describing the United Ma
tons as "a den Of spies, an
international snake pit and
the house that Hiss built" Mr..
Lory asserted that 1.-The U. N.
is a death trap that can de-
stroy our liberty. our freedom,
the Constitution and put US

churches into one unity he

singled out for criticism.

The speaker then BRAN
dished before the audience q
copy Of the book. Behind

Davis. and called attention TO
the fact that the foreword is
written By former United
States Ambassador to Russia
Joseph E. Davies. Mr.. Lory
also waved a copy Of q letter
which he alleged. Bishop
Oman sent out with the book
to Methodist ministers, which
in part states that the book
makes q substantial contribu-
ton to the understanding Of
Russia" Mr.. Lory attacked
the book as "the most pro-
Communist book on Russia
ever written"
The speaker called for a re-
turn to the intense national-
ism that drove this glorious
Nation to success. and as an
effective anecdote against the
corrosive apathy Of the day."
II the cause Of the patriot is
"silenced in the press, on the
radio and over television," Mr..
Lory declared. "our typewriters

we destroy this freedom and
