HERTFORD flOTARIAflS TOLD LITTLE HOPE
IS SEEN FOR VORiUG PACT WITH REDS
Native of Hungary Is
Guest Speaker at Club
Meeting
"I see no hope of aVorking agree
ment with Russia," Dr. Udvarnoki,
pastor of the Gatesville Baptist
Church, and former president of the
Baptist Theological Seminary in Buda
pest, Hungary, told members of the
Hertford 'Rotary Club at their weekly
meeting held Tuesday night at the
Hotel Hertford.
Dr. Udvarnoki, a native of Hung
ary, who studied in the U. S. during
his youth, and iteturned to America in
1947, spoke to the Rotarians on life
behind the Jfofr Curtain. He stated
there is really Iwo. iron curtains, one
separating the Russian satellite na
tions from the Western World and
the second separating the satellites
from the Russian' themselves,
- S peaking of the arrests of numer-
Dr. Udvarnoki said, Witt was merely
a planned program 1by Russians
1
in nhiit. nff trifta And nMifltjuuv. from
America, thus lending a hand to the
Communist propaganda that only!
Russia was interested in the welfare
nf nemlft of h world. With the1
arrests of the churchmen the word got
around that others receiving assist-
ance from America would be arrested
and tried for (treason. Thus America.
was asked to stop sending money a:ii
gifts and ithe Russians plan became
successful.
Another step in the Russian propa
ganda scheme,' Dr. Udvarnoki said
was the constant theme the Commun
ists used on the radio and press that
only Russia was a free and cultured
nation, interested in advancing socia
conditions for the people.
"Communists use hatred as the core
of their propaganda," Dr. Udvarnoki
continued, 'attampting ito instill into
the roeoiple a violent dislike of every
thing pertaining to the way of life in
the western world, and consider in
dividuals only as an easily replaced
part of a vast machine which is th
State."
A unified front of all the people of
thA fnA world is needed if Commun
ism is to he stopped and' freedom is
to continue, the speaker' seated. .
