New York Crowd Applauds Bircher
GARDEN CITY, N. Y. — (UPI) — Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society, told an overflow crowd of 1,400 last night that Communism is not a movement of the poor and needy.
Welch won several bursts of applause — and never a boo — in a packed banquet room of the fashionable Garden City Hotel as he talked for one hour and 40 minutes on the dangers of Communist infiltration.
"I can find you a lot more Harvard accents in Communist circles today than you can find me overalls," he said.
IN A QUESTION and answer period afterwards, Welch drew resounding applause for his opinion of urban renewal. "It's a left wing design for many purposes—to break down lines, moral, geographical and political and all other boundaries as well, and it is all part of an extreme socialist pattern of life," he said.
Welch said he does not believe Russia is willing to get into a shooting war with the United States. A war, he said, would trigger revolution in countries the Kremlin now controls.
Welch described the "principle of reversal" which he said the Communists use to infiltrate American life.

pete; thus, when there are basketball games twice a week and practice several times a week after supper in addition to Sunday afternoon, little time is left for serious study, even if assignments were given. In larger schools, only a few are affected by competitive athletics; thus, it is not stressed for the entire student body. Almost everyone in my community comes to the basketball games and expects to see evidence of a good school on the basketball floor. A winning coach has a chance of remaining longer than any other teacher, and four years is indeed a lengthy stay for any teacher. Here again, the attitude of the community enters in, for usually teachers are driven from town by censure and gossip, and sometimes by direct pressure on the school board.
NEEDLESS TO SAY. such a high school cannot provide a very rich curriculum with so much trouble getting teachers. There is seldom a choice of subjects for the student to make, and I ended up taking such things as agriculture and business arithmetic which could hardly be considered adequate as college preparation.
I have tried to point out some of the reasons why I think my high school does not provide adequate college preparation. In conclusion, I do not believe high schools as small as the one I attended have a very long future, for they are expensive and inefficient to operate and they do not seem to prepare students adequately for either college or a job. I think that the consolidation which has already begun in my high school league will continue until the extremely small school with its obvious inferiority no longer exists.

He said the Reds foster the idea that their movement flourishes in poverty yet "Communism has always been imposed from the top down by the very rich, the highly educated and the politically powerful, on the suffering masses whose conditions have always been made worse..."
WELCH REPEATED his charge that "the largest single body of Communists in America is in our Protestant clergy," but he said this body was less than 4 per cent of the clergy.

The crowd was mostly quiet, showing rapt attention. Its heaviest applause was for Mr. Welch's defense of the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R.-Wis., "basically, and with minor exceptions, there was nothing wrong with McCarthy's methods from the point of view of a patriotic American," he said.
