TRANSCRIPT OF OF BROADCAST
By
Fulton Lewis, Jr.
Station WGMS at 7-7:15 P. M.
27 February 1958
It has come to my attention that in the Radio TV promotion
of the Crusade for Freedom--seeking your dollar -contributions
to pay for the operations of Radio Free Europe-7a
being shown about,. tEurope balloon operatii, ,

-
these propaganda pamphlets are packaged in boxes, attached to
the balloons, and then released under proper wind conditions to
drift across the iron curtain and finally to be scattered over
important concentrations of Opulation in the Communist-control-
led satellite nation.
The film discribes how important this work is because it is
one of the very most effective means of getting the message of
truth to the enslaved people and the pamphlets are printed on
Such thin paper and in such fine type that the people who pick
them up are able to hide them easily and retain the message.
So send in your truth dollars to swell the Crusade.
I say this,is interesting. It is doubly so because the entire

Europe, was sent to Munich last September to liquidate all
properties and possessions of the project So since that time
