Strikingly similar to the Russian peace barrage be-

fore the Reds were attacked by Germany in World War II, the Communist Party's international peace objective to weaken the democracies has struck the state in full force. i Hundreds of well- -meaning Hoosiers, sincerely desirous of peace, have fallen victims of the Red offensive. In Indianapolis in the past several weeks, the agitation has included: ONE: Circulation of thousands of !‘peace” petitions among labor organizations, churches and citizens by Communist groups. TWO: Circulation of literature by the Communist and Progressive: parties denouncing the “criminal inter.

vention in Korea on the part of the United States gov-

ernment.” : THREE: Organization of peace groups in Indianapolis, whose objectives are lauded by the Communists. FOUR: Street meetings on Indiana Ave. and other Negro sections in which racial unrest is 3 whipped up.

BOTH THE, "FBI and the Indianapolis Police Department subversive squads are observing the situation, gathering material and filing reports to be ready for g crackdown in event a national emergency develops in the Korean situation, Petitions being cirewlated in bona fide labor organi_zations in Indiana have been sent to the local Communist Party by the National Labor Conference for Peace, Suite 905, 179 W. Washington St., Chicago.

Identical petitions have been sent to the Progressive |

Party headquarters at 635 N. Pennsylvania St. by the Peace Information Center, 225 W. 23d St., New York, a clearing house for. “peace” groups. These are being distributed by Progressive Party members.

Communist parties throughout the world were ordered-to set up various peace movements. Others functioning include the World Peace Congress, World Partisans of Peace, Stockholm Peace Pledge, and World Committee in Defense of Peace. The NLCP effort is aimed at American labor.
