1949-04-01 Counterattack

 Counterattack begins by discussing Stalin's plans to create a global communist front aimed at "peace."  The United States version, the "Cultural and Scientific Committee for World Peace," is only in the planning stages, but it will only serve to propagate Stalin's message, as did other peace fronts in the 1930s.  Communist plans to take over the city government of Los Angeles are reported, as are efforts to organize the unemployed and demand higher wages.  Problems between the CIO and communist locals and their leaders are discussed, as is the picketing of the British Foreign Secretary.  Also, the continuing communist campaign against NATO is mentioned.
