March On Washington For Peace

November 27, 1965
Mr. Hoover's warnings against Soviet esplonage was
termed ‘serntentious poppycock! by Perry at the FFR
conference in Seattle. "Perhaps Ferry and his associates
might have Mr. Hoover's latest statement on Communism
which was broadcast by him on July-15, 1962. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation {FBI) chief said, in part:
‘Nothing will take the place of responsibie knowledge
in our fight against Comnunism~-a knowledge anchored
in faith in God. We can defeat Communism because we
have the superior values, the Buperior way of life.
The task will not be easy, But we can win if each of
us is willing to do his share. We must meet Communism
with facts, not hysteria, Never must we be guilty of
witch hunts or vigilantism. ‘ruth is our best weapon
of attack.' "Mr. Hoover has the facts on Communisn.
Ferry and bir friends seem to ham: the hysteria, the
viglantism and a penchant for name-calling and witch-
- hunting. Maybe this is why Henry Ford II, who bankrolled
the Ford Foundation, long since renounced it."
