VIEW Study Group
Holds Meeting

The regular meeting of the VIEW
Study Group on Communism held
Monday, night was opened with
the pledge to the flag.
Matt Dasinger had received sew
eral bulletins from J. Edgar Hoov-
er, n of which pointed out that
law endorsements agencies are a
special target and that lawyers
are one of the first groups to be
Iiouidated following a Communist
take-over.
Matt received a copy of Repre-
Sentative James Roosevelt's
speech of April 1860 in which he
recommended doing away with
the House Un-American Activities
Committee. He was to have given
a similar speech on the floor of
the House on Tuesday of this
week but instead he wrote each
representative a letter stating that
ne did not think it wise to do so
at this time. Matt stressed the
vital Importance of all of us writ
ing our congressman and senators
to counterfeit the extreme pres
sure exerted on them from ultra
liberal and socialistic legislation.
He specifically recommended that
all interested Americans write re-
guessing: /. that we do NOT e
peal the Connally Amendment, as
it is all we have. 10 protect us
from falling completely under the
jurisdiction of the World Court.
2. that they urge support and
strengthening of the House I'm
American Activities Committee.
8. a firm stand against internal
tionalization of the Panama Canal.
4. that they reject Welfare-state-
ism. 5. that senators give serious
consideration to- each presidential
appointment before approving
him ..
The statement was made that
investigating committees have
been a necessary part OF the leg
islative department for a long
time and that efforts to do away
with them are not in the best
interests of country.
The filmStrip and commentary
called Communism On The Map,
was borrowed from the john Birch
Society in WillistOn, and showed
the alarming extent of Commu-
mist infiItration in country after
country, highlightS of which fol-
low. The success of the COmmu-
nists all began when the U. S
recognized Russia in 1888, giving
from bne prestige they badly need
ed and opening new areas OF trade
that undoubtedly kept them from
economic collapse. Then followed
Khruscnev's deliberate starving O
seven million Ukranians, under or
ders from Stain, as well a. out
right murder of untold numbers
plus deportation to slave labo
camps, World War II greatly con
triOuted to the SovietS when the,
were handed Poland, the Balkans
and a part of Germany. Franc
and Italy are so highly infiltrate'
that it would take very little t
finish the job.
The second phase of the Com
munist's plan of world conques
was taking Asia. In 1947 Genera
Marshall recommended an arm
embargo on Chang Kai-shel
President Truman sent Genera
Wedemeyer to China to gathe
facts on whether we should re
scind the embargo. Wedemeyer
report urgently requested that W
do so ana give aid possible aid
Ohiang. Truman suppressed tn
report and the Reds took Chln'
numbering millions OF patriot
Chinese. It was not until 1875
that Wedemeyer was allowed
release his report. The loss
China was one of the create
defeats in u. S. history and Is
case of our highest Officials beir
influenced by Communist agen
in our government. The Korea
War was a stalemate in which Il
majority of our generals agree
the UN was not allowed to WI
The US lost $4,000 men, plus lOs
900 casualties.
