Plan Annihilation
Rev. Swygert noted that a well-
known scientist recently reported
that the plan of the Communists
was annihilation of a free America
by’ psychological and - economic
warfare. He said Americans on this
Veterans' Day, 1959 should ex-
amine the fallacies of Communism
and stamp it out or that lye* will
lose the war.
He described communism as evil
and politically immoral,"
"The enemy is more afraid of
our faith in God than in our ma-
chines of war Communism is out
to despiritualize our'nation and to
steal our freedoms. It is a "war"
of right versus wrong," Swygert
said. (

Johnson is not limited to Texas

pay their poll taxes before the
Jan. 31 deadline to qualify for
next year's conventions and elec-
