...Truman, Eleanor Roosevelt and Dean Acheson as "definitely pink." His "pro-blue" instruction program urged troops to vote for conservative candidates back home. Officially admonished and transferred to a command in Hawaii, Walker bitterly resigned from the Army. Since his return to the U.S., he has appeared occasionally at anti-Communist rallies, disappointed his admirers by his flat, stumbling platform style. But in his primary campaign in Texas, Walker could probably talk in sign language and still draw some right-wing votes...
...steadily heating controversy over mass-meeting antiCommunism, Frederick Charles Schwarz, 49, founder and director of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, is rapidly becoming the hottest thing around. Last week the keen, spellbinding Dr. Schwarz sallied out from Southern California, heartland of his movement, into another terrain, the San Francisco Bay area. There, in Oakland, he put on a five-day anti-Communist "school"; later this year he expects to carry his message to the Middle West and to New York...
Schwarz became a skilled anti-Communist orator, speaking from the pulpit (long a lay preacher, he describes himself as "a narrow-minded, Bible-believing Baptist") or on the public platform. He recalls one triumphant debate in his younger days with a Communist leader in a Sydney park: "I mentioned Dialectical Materialism, whereupon the Communist leader challenged me.

Unlike many of the U.S.'s ultraconservative anti-Communist leaders, Schwarz does not argue that domestic softness is the only thing Americans need worry about. Schwarz stresses the external threat and power of Communism. Sometimes he overrates the Reds: to read or hear Schwarz, the Communists have never suffered a setback in their march toward world domination; the free world has never scored the slightest cold war success. Communism is a monolith without internal dissension. Nikita Khrushchev, while describing Stalin as a sadistic, megalomaniacal murderer, in his famous January 6, 1961 speech, was by Communist standards of virtue commending...
...Fred Schwarz the anti-Communist role of Government is limited at best, and his lopsided account of cold war history implies that the U.S. Government in spite of all its efforts has had no successes at all against Communism. Wrote Schwarz: "The time has come for people to cease looking for great organizations afar off, and to begin looking for things that can be done close at home. Every man who invites a friend into his home, gives him literature to read, and informs him of the danger, is helping to thwart the Communist program." Citizens so educated...
