REPUBLICANS FOR BONDS
To the Editor:
No responsible citizen can affbfd to neglect his vote when
North Carolina faces such obvious overdue heeds as classrooms
and housing at state correctional schools, higher educational ex
pansions, improvements at community colleges and mental in
stitutions, local health units, and hospital construction, etc.
With a Triple A credit rating for the state, we can confidently
vote for progress knowing our debt ranking is one of the lowest
in the country in relation to per capita income.
The State Republican Executive Committee has actively en
dorsed tit least half of the bonds listed. * Piedmont Republicans
found merit in eight out of the 10. The Orange County chair
man favors all 10. * ■ ■
We therefore urge fellow citizens to exercise their franchise
intelligently. Ex-President Eisenhower exhorts us to be “pro
gressive and responsible.” We cannot afford to be otherwise.—
See you at the polls. ’ %

legion To sponsor 'abolition' film
To the Editor: <' , 3
American Legion T*bst No. Six
of Chapel Hill is spohsorin* the
showing of “Obmmunism Dn.Tfce
Map” and “Operation Abil#ien”
on Monday at 8 p. m. in Memo
rial Hall. Students and the gen
eral public are invited, admis
sion free.
“Communism On The Map” is
a film-strip, tape recorded,
placed into distribution May IS,
_I960. Subsequent events such as
student riots in South Korea,
Japan, Turkey, Latin American,
upheavals ih the Belgian Congo,
Laos and tfee alarming progress
of the disease r of muscular
Castrophy on the body of Cuba
— all fall within the pattern of
world conquest by Communism
v exposed through the film-strip.
Operation Abolition needs no
better advertisement than the
following joint statement by
seven ministers who sat through
the San Francisco hearings of
±L^: the House Un-American Activi
ties Committee, May 12-14, 1960;
(Dr. G. Archer Weniger, Oak-'
land; Rev. George Moore, Wal
put Creek; Rev. Don Watson,
Oakland; Dr. Roy fc. Austin, Satt
Franciscp; Dean Wm. G. Bell
ehfpr, Saf iVapcisco Baptist
Seminary;. President H. O. Van
Gilderi DD, Western Baptist
Bible College, El Cerrito; and
Dr. Amo Q. Weniger, San Fran
cisco).
'The frightening drama •?
the Communist inspired student
riots of May 12-14, 1960 has beAn
captured in a startling Film Au
thorized by the House Un-Ameri
can Activities Committee en
titled ‘Operation Abolition.” The
film is J 40-minute documentary
taken by news cameramen both
inside and outside the City Hall.
Local Communists are identified
as they incite the crowds to wild
disorder and violence, in which
several policemen were hospita
Tigcft. - .
Communist charges of police
brutality are ridiculous. One
could not be an eyewitness to
.this tragedy without a fear of
those few who are dedicated to
this party of treason and yet so
| successfully staged this dress re
hearsal for revolution in our own

area. This film is one of the most
effective counterblows for liber
ty imaginable. . These commu
nists, together.with their fellow
travelers, dupes, suckers, un- j
witting tools, and a few regretta
ble allies in the ministry, little
realized that they would be
making a permanent record
which would expose their
treasonable activity.
“Inasmuch as the communist
conspiracy has launched a mas
sive attempt to discredit this
film, we ministers who were eye
witnesses to this horrifying de
velopment locally, wish to certi
fy that this film is a true and
accurate representation of the ac
tivities of the hearings. The Com
mentary is truthful. The film is
not ‘doctored’. The sound track
is not distorted. The leftwing
charge that this film is a forgery
is a manifest lie. While the
original films were probably five
hours in length, most was repeti
tion of the obstructionist tactics
of the subpoened witnesses.
Nothing wias eliminated which
would show the rioters in any
better light. In fact, we were
amazed that the Committee
Would allow witnesses Wm. Man
dell and Douglass Wachter to
freely express their vicious
propaganda attack upon the Con
gressmen . . .”
In the American Mercury,
July 1961 pp 122-124 is an aVticle
written by a man from Sandus
ky, Ohio. The following quotes
are from that article in the Mer
ctiry Forum: ~ d
“I am Latvian by birth.and
liras in Latvia when the Commu
hists took that country over.
When I watched the film “Opera
tion Abolition” I could not help
but feel I was back there seeing
those things happening all over
again ...
“In Latvia, before the year
1939, less than three per cent of
the people were Communists or
their sympathizers. In 1939 when
Russia decided to subdue Latvia,
Estonia and Lithuania all hell
broke loose. At a given signal
there were riots everywhere;
policemen were stoned, spit
upon, beaten and disarmed by
crowds who were led by few but
trained Communists . . .
“Many people in the U. S. have
the mistaken idea that Commu
nism is just another political
party and the Communists should
ibe * given freedom to express
themselves in a truly democratic'
country. But in a democracy we,
don’t permit anybody to teach
crime or sell and use dope or
teach and promote vice and pro
tect it under law ...
“I know how Communism works
and saw it again in the film
“Operation Abolition.”
PETER ZEN'KL, Ex-Vice Pre
mier of Czechoslovakia and Lord
Mayor of Prague, now the chair
man Executive Council of Free
Czechoslovakia, said in “This
W4ek” Magazine, Oct. 29, 1961:
“iMy native country was lost to
the Communists in 1948 without
civil war. I bear partial respon
sibility for I was there and, as
Vice Premier and Member of
Parliament, in a position of some
authority . . . While democratic
Czechoslovakia's defeat was com
posed of many factors, one im
portant element facilitating the
Communist march to power was
wishful thinking. We believe that
communists would be transformed
into partners in a pariimehtary
sense. The contrary happened.”
%ere will be no debate or
frnta with this showing, that
dbafe was amply covered #hop
