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, , '4614iitiler"'firig-111'very 'be 'it'411134ghowe - 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 9P orr4ers from Wash- ington inune'dlittely-- tei' the Hungarian 'rev6itA4iAlar956 not a single propaganda balloon has been sentIWV4f4re4W6 curtain since.
