1949-02-25 Counterattack

The World Congress of Intellectuals, convening at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, will serve as a front to promote the communist agenda.  Counterattack urges immediate action against the meeting to prevent communist leaders from entering the United States.  The newsletter also reports on Agnes Smedley, an author accused of spying for Stalin in Japan.  The author also details the results of a survey that indicates a large majority of Americans believe that communists should be fired.  It again denounces Judge Yankwich for having taught at a communist school and also former Governor Wallgren of Washington for having been too soft on communists.
