The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-02-23

DIR. Fred Schwarz, the Australian
medic who although still an alien
after almost decade of "alerting''
Americans to the Communist men
ace', finds the "diggin's" increas--
ingly profitable.
Wheeler reports Schwarz recently
confided to a Florida audience that
his (Anti-Communism Crusade) is q
million dollar business The rec
ord of one of its operations the
Southern California School of Anti
Communism-over a three month
period, shows a profit of $214,757".
Recently, full page advertisements
in the SEATTLE Pr, proclaimed
that Schwarz and aides, Cleon Skou-
sen and Herbert Philbrick and a
repertoire of other smooth-talking
professionals would carry on in Seat
tie February 1916 with suggested
donations of five to twenty bucks,
banquet not included.
The closing of the school last Fri
day brought forth from the WASH
INGTON Transfer an editorial
comment that "those who had little
faith in democratic processes when
they started the course will have even
less faith when they finish. Those
who looked with distrust upon labor
unions, schools, and churches con-
cerned with the physical welfare OF
people in this country and abroad
will leave even more firmly con-
xrin %ho+ fr14ia
conscious or unconscious participants
in great conspiracy. Those who
entered the grand ball room certain
that the United Nations is Commu-
nist-run organization will come out
believing more than ever that it is
dominated by Russia.
Nowhere in the curriculum was
there course in logic. Apparent
ly that is the last thing that
Schwarz wants his students to
learn. If they learned how to rea-
son, they wouldn't be caught argu-
ing on one hand that the U.N. is
dominated by the Communists and
on the other that the will of the
U.N. is thwarted because of Rus
sian vetoes. If they had to figure
out why a country that dominates
the U.N. has to veto so many of it's
proposals, they might lose faith IN
the leaders that feed them the
arguments
LIFE reports CDR. Schwarz draws
backing from businesses,
particularly on the West Coast.

PROFITABLE,
Down Texas way, where oil gushes
forth and zany zealots come more
by the dozen, Citizen Frank :
McGehee of Dallas last October be- s
,ame violently aroused over learning ,
hat Yugoslav aviators are being |
;rained in the United States and that G
his country is selling Yugoslavia ,
,ver-age military aircraft. He rushed t
tut and hired hall for $3.50 in order
o express his Indignation. G
In getting the matter off his chest, t
here was a by-product cash.
IcGehee told Wheeler that some one S
-elled from the audience, asking how T
much the hall cost. Then, said he,
the next thing l knew a guy came 1
O the edge of the balcony and started a
loating down dollar bills /. sent Il
he stagehands out with pushbrooms E
o sweep them up. Not counting some
hat got sucked into the air condi- s.
ioning and some that maybe got v
tuck to the brooms, we had $1,5O9."
Thus was the NATIONAL IN ii
DIGNATION CONVENTION born. t;
How's it paying off? Wonderful, o
just wonderfully In Dallas alone, e
McGehee told LIFE reporter that a
MIC had "reaped $4,000. And
of course, bigger things were in t.
store and now MIC has "indig- N
nants' all over the nation, includ- m
ing Sidney, Helena and Missoula, e:
