Below is the most recent contribution exactly as writ ten : “So, what’s wrong with it? “Let's talk. Let’s talk about something you know about al ready. At least you probably think you know about it. Let’s have a go at it anyway. The John Birch Society. Now, now, just hold on a minute! As soon a* you read that I heard every one of your little heads stir with commotion. So, just calm down. Do you know what the John Birch Society is? To put it in simple words, it is an or ganization opposing Commun ism. “What’s so had about Com munism? Do you know. Com munism? Maybe I should tell you just who and what he is. Oh, you know, do you? Then would you mind telling me what’s so good about him? Out of words, eh? Then let me tell you about him. “Plainly, he’s a devil. That’s what I said. A devil. A creep ing, sneaking little devil who takes over the minds and hearts of men. And once he rid of this mean and disastrous little fiend. From the first he heads for annihilation Okav, so you understand! So le Hear- t Is a n < ■ u hut Him.

It made one list once—at the bot tom, and never appeared again. I don’t have to tell you why. Though all of my hooks have been leading best-sellers, 1 can’t sell to Hollywood. The reason is simple, as they ex plained to my agent: “She has never been a communist, and is known to he a conservative, and isn't a liberal.” That is why you’ll never set- a hook of mine on the screen, hut you will ever lastingly see movies fighting Hitler over and over again, as if that infernal war hadn’t been over for 21 years! In fact, Hol lywood keeps that war so alive in the peopes’ consciousness that even a level-headed man like President Johnson, asked to comment on the wild degen eracy of the British young peo ple, said, “Well, they went through a great and terrible war, and then austerity.” No one pointed out to him that not a single young man or girl, on whom he was commenting, had stabs a person with that sting- f ?een born until long after that ing little pitchfork of his tkm 1 e 1 pei-ioil! j have yet to see is no telling what he will do.

Campus beauty is selected that little munism ? ” devil called Com- I difficulty of getting conserva tive thought before the public through communications media: By Tayor Caldwell In despair, I wrote a book 1 exposing communism in the United States and what it would lead to and called it the DEVIL’S ADVOCATE. My publisher read it and then wrote me a furious letter screaming that he did not “be lieve in your politics.” When I tried to get another book published by another concern, he called up the editor and re quested him never to publish a book by Taylor Caldwell. That particular editor agreed to re ject following books. But, at last, after agonized and terri fied effort, I did get a brave editor who defied my original publisher. You see, the liberals were all out to stop me and silence me forever. Then they induced the very government of the United States to halt me, disgrace me, lie about me, sue me as a tax-evader, and pub lish national lies in the national press against me. Yes, indeed, our very own government. But, now I began to fight back. I sought the aid of the FBI, af ter I had endured threats by GOVERNMENT AGENTS in the early hours of the morning, extortion and threats to mur der my daughter here and my husband, and I threatened suit against Washington itself. Af ter four long agonizing years, in the crucial period of my life when it was necessary for me to have peace of mind if I were not to become an invalid, I won against the government liberals who now control Washington absolutely. But, it took from me forever all my joy in life, all my hope, all my love and trust in my country. The liberals are not through with me by a long shot. A few years ago I had a book pub lished entilted Dear and Glor ious Physician. It sold enor mously, far outselling the lead ing book on the Times’ and other lists throughout the country. They kept it far down at the bottom of the list and after a few weeks, they took it off. But, just a week or so ago I noticed a eulogy in the New York Times to the effect that James Michener’s book, The Source, headed the Times’ list for going on two years, and it bought and read? You won’t see an anti-communist book on the best-seller lists, but you’ll see dozens of books by degen erate liberal homosexuals and pro - communist pornographic writers. You won’t see an hour’s anti-communist show on TV, but you will see the old war fought over and over, and see pro-liberal stories, or fool ish situation comedies and oth er trash. It was planned that way. Thousands of people write me in silly bewilderment: “Why does the United States give huge foreign aid to socialist and communist countries, over 117 billion dollars so far? Why do we allow a communist satel lite, Cuba, to be only 90 miles from our mainland ? Why does the U. S. Supreme Court con stantly overthrow statutes to protect us against communism, and loose criminals on us? Why does the CourtTusurp power not given it in the Constitution, and why doesn’t someone in Wash ington protest? Why does the United States ship wheat and soybeans and other food to the Russians, and materials which can be made into instruments of war, and why do we say nothing when Russia ships these things to Viet Nam to help the communists and keep them alive so they can kill our American boys ? How can some Senators get away with advo cating that the blood of Ameri cans be donated to the North Vietcong? How can some Sena tors get away with saying we are wrong in this war and should get out, and advocate treason and riots and rebelliom? Why are communist-oriented organizations, and political un ionists, permitted a tax-exempt status, and encouraged by the government, and on the other hand, why are anti-communist organizations hounded by Washington and denied tax- exempt status ? Why did the American government tell the Chinese government in 1947 to accept communism, or else ? Why does our government at tack the Republic of South Af rica and Rhodesia, and then send, last December, over five hundred million dollars to the communist oppressor, Tito? Why didn’t we win in Korea ? (Continued on page 3) Officials of Kendall meet in Charlotte CHARLOTTE. N.
