1T is obvious that our citi-

derstand the nature and grav-
ity of the Communist threat.
This means more than an un-
comfortable awareness that
communism threatens freedom
in our country.
THE real need is for wide
spread knowledge in some depth
of the history, doctrines, OBJ

man dignity and individual
