Bank, retired Episcopalian who served as
a delegate to Communist convention and
lectured at Communist meetings.
AS to whether Communist ministers
are real danger. let's turn to a state
ment by former President Herbert Hoover:
I confess to real apprehension. so
long as Communists are able to secure
ministers of the gospel to promote their
evil work and espouse a cause that is
alien to the religion of Christ and Judaism
Communists try everything when it
comes to churches. They sneak disguised
propaganda into church bulletins They
send Communists around to lecture church
groups. The head of the Communist Party
once spoke at Union Theological Seminary
in New York. and the legislative secretary
OF the party addressed a conference of 100
ministers in Washington, D. C. The Com
munists order their younger members into
youth groups where they can spread athe-
ism and recruit new Communists. Atheism.
CommuniSt-Style. is also spread through
various organizations like the Peoples m
stitute of Applied Religion, which teaches
Communist ideas under the disguise that
they are Christian teachings.
Again. to stop Communists, we must
be careful not to attack the majority of
faithful ministers and church-goers. We
must merely search out those who back
Moscow right down the line We can do
this, first by understanding and support
ing the teachings Of our own religions to
the hilt; then, by getting rid of those who
try to pass off Communist ideas as SUBJ
stitute for what we know are true religious
teachings"
I have read you the pertinent para
graphs of Air Force Manual 2O5-5 concern
ing which Mr.. Wine is quoted in the Wash
ington Evening Star of February "a, as
saying that the Air Force has agreed to
amend portions which are Objectionable.
Am I correct in my Interpretation Of
your testimony that neither you nor anyone
to your knowledge in official position in the
Air Force has given Mr.. Wine the assur-
ance which is attributed to him in the
press?
SECRETARY SHARP. Certainly 1 have
not. do not know of anyone who has.
MIR. ARENS. Am l likewise. and is
the record likewise, clear that you, sir,
based upon the information which has been
made available to you by your subordi-
mates, concur in the language which have
Just read to you in Air Force Manual
2O5-5?
SECRETARY SHARP would say that
certainly agree with the assumption that
the Communist Party would obviously in
It's activities attempt to infiltrate the
church as outlined here.
must say that have not investigated
the two individuals referred to by name in
these paragraphs which you have read as
10 whether or not they have actually been
proven to be guilty of the charges out
lined.
MIR. SCHERER. The counsel in read
ing from the manual merely stated that
those two are listed by this committee.
THE CHAIRMAN. Among others.

Stage. Screen, Radio and Teleyision
The stage, screen radio. and television
have had high degree of Communist in
filtration for many years. We have been
brainwashed into feeling of apathy and
security, which is probably the greatest &C
complishment of the Communists in the
u. S. A.
You will notice that some movies and
television shows depict the horrors of war,
how clumsy and like buffoons the officers
are apparently to destroy the public
confidence in the armed services
In how many current movies or tec-
vision shows is Communist depicted as
a william? Certainly very few.
The brutalitieS of the Nazis are gone
over again and again on television ad
nauseam. This is undoubtedly done for two
reasons: 1. to divert attention from the
Communists own heinous crimes and
atrocities: 2 to build up public sentiment
against West Germany and Adenauer who
has been a staunch Rock Of Gibraltar
against yelling to the Communists on
West Berlin
An ex FIJI agent told me that he can
not 60 to the movies or look at televlsion
because in his former work investigating
Subversives he learned so much about
Communist actors, writer's, and directors,
that he is sickened when he sees their
Shiny hands in production.
Politically the Communists used every
step forward to set W political factions
