Help Truth Fight Communism
■r s. j. D.
llURINCi Fubruary, T1ip Tribune will rwlve conlrlliu-
1 tioiiN for th« CrimuiU* for Freetlom. Thl* In th«» thlril

Radio Free Europe, the hard-hitting voice of truth.
An independent, non-government expression of the
American people's faith In a free way of life, Radio Free
Kuro|te began as a small, mobile transmitter operation,
beaming the truth about communism to enslaved Czecho-
siovakin. In two years, “Operation Truth" has been trans-
formed Into a network of 15 imwerful transmitters, break-
ing through the Communist censorship wall with over
1,000 hours of truth broadcasts every week, directed at
six slave countries in a total of seven languages. Radio
Free Asia is now (teaming truth to the Far F,ast in four
languages.
The satellite regimes have fought back savagely-
heaping denunciation and vituperation on both the free-
dom network and its sponsor, the Crusade for Freedom.
This violent reuction continues at an ever-mounting pitch
of frustrated rage. There could he no finer proof of the
effectiveness of the broadcasts, and no greater source of
satisfaction to us Americans who are backing the project.
At the conclusion of his trip to Korea. President Risen-
hower said: “1 believe that if we think clearly enough,
plan carefully enough and work tirelessly enough, we can
laith save freedom and secure pence."
Through the Crusade for Freedom, millions of Ameri-
cans ure trying to follow our new president's directive,
By rallying to the Crusade, these Americans are demon-
strating as awareness that the Communist empire's soft
under-belly lies just beyond the Iron Curtain, in those
captive landa where whole populations, now weighted by
the chains of tyranny, still yearn for freedom and keep
its flame alive in their aching hearts. The truth broad-
casts of Radio Free Euro|ie are helping them mightily to
sustain that flame.
The Crusade for Freedom is unique in that 100 per-
cent of all contributions go directly to the purpose for
which they were given. All overhead costs are financed
independently. So, whatever you give, you may la? sure
that every penny of it will become a part of the never-
ending barrage of truth being beamed at the slave nations
of this troubled world.
There will be no organized solicitation. Announcements
will be made at meetings of various organizations and in
the schools. Mail or bring your group or individual con-
tributions to The Tribune. We’ll see that they are con-
verted into messages of freedom to cheer the millions who
are now denied that freedom, and shafts of truth to con-
found the apostles of communism.
Many Legislators Are Irked By
Movement for State Economy
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 3—(AP)—Many legislators—
senators particularly—were openly unhappy today about a
joint appropriations committee meeting which made a big
move for economy, most of which has very little chance of
becoming law-.
The meeting, in which house members could out-vote
senate members because of difference in numbers, called for
consolidation of several state agencies and whacked re-
quested appropriations. However, the actions carry no defi-
mte commitments and all measures will have to go back
to committees for hearings.
Fund Appeals
Are Heard At
Club Meeting
An appeal for support of the
Heart fund rampalfn to support re-
search and education on heart dis-
ease. was made before members of
the Lions club today at their regu-
lar noon luncheon meeting In the
Oxford cafe
Speaker was Dr. L. L. Conrad.
Oklahoma City, assistant professor
In research medicine with the OU
medical school, and worker Ih the
Oklahoma medical research found-
ation.
Dr Conrad pointed out that much
of the effort In combating heart dis-
ease in this state ta "due to the
mural and financial support of the
American Heart association.
An appeal for another campaign,
the "Crusade for Freedom" was de-
livered at the meeting by Dean
Ward, who said newspapers here will
accept contributions.
Club members, in other business,
named Asa Mayfield as coach and
Dr Earnest Polls as trainer for a
Lions basketball team, scheduled to
meet the junior chamber of com-
merce In a benefit game for the po-
lio fund In the near future.
Miles Woods was Introduced aa a
new member at the meeting.

ed for Oklahoma In 1963 ware an-
nounced today by Jack Robinson,

tration committee.

percent of last year's goal.
Robinson said about the same ra-
tion would be applicable to Cana-
dian county, with exception of soy-
beans and flaxseed, which are sel-
dom planted In this area.
Senator Boyd Cowdtn,
Chandler, majority floor lead-
er, called the meeting a
"grandstand play” bv houae
members to "get the heat off
themselves."
The consolidation votes, which
house members put over much to
the chagrin of senators, recom-
mended consolidating the game and
fish and planning and resources
departments, emergency relief board
with the public welfare depart-
ment, and the aviation, civil de-
fense and protection of the state
functions lumped under the adju-
tant general.
"After the governor s second mes-
sage to the senate last Tuesday,
the house policy committee voted
there would be no major consoli-
dation*." Cowden said "Then the
house appropriations cotnmiltre, in
Joint meeting with the senate ap-
propriations committee, advocated
major consolidation.
"It was a grandstand play. The
play seems to be a try to put the
senate on the spot."
Senator Floyd Carrier, ranking
Republican senator, also expressed
criticism of the meeting.
"The majority party leaders In
the legislature aren't going to try
to eliminate any services, and when
the governor doesn't Insist that It
be done any more than he has. they
won't take any action at all," Car-
rier said.
