In the letter aent out b1 Helen Hnskell to our~visory Board and our Editorial Board a new name appears. It is that of· Dr • .Hoy .A<'liurkhart, Hinister of the First Comunity 'fhurchOfColumbus. lle is quoted i511iVinrwritten a letter saying: 11llr. Cra:itie never sot permission !'ram me to usc either my name or my approval of his par.!phlets; ! feel that his pamphlets are psychiatrically and psycholo;£ically unsound ar.d that t.hey aend ;roung,ople into conrlict rather than i'reeino; them spiritually". This is~ !.!!!!!!. Royo-'irurkhart 1'/ho in 1936 organized and ~.!! ! parade of young pco:;:le thro:.:gh the streets of Columbus. In that parade, young people carried ban;;.;:rs be.1ri:1t;: such in­scriptions as: 11Join the Youn;; Soviet Union and Secure Peace" and nThe Comunists want peace". I was a member of his church for a number or years and was on his BOard of Deacons for several, Duri."lg that time I heard so maey speakers ridiculing the Mlerican way of life, upholding Russia and pointing ,2!!1 the good of Ccmnunism that I was shocked. On the Board of .t:leacons I eventuallY learned that Roy A. Burkhart does not believe in the Virgin birth, the deity, atonin~ sacrifice or even in the literal resurrection of Jesus Christ. When l found those things out, I resigned trot:, the . BOard of !leacons and withdrevt from the church, When I learned or his statement in the letter from the Committee For Self-Regulation, I iJmr,ediately called him on the telephor. I demanded an interview and only after much urging did he agree to meet me, face to ,£ac~. At that conference he adr.dtted: That for maey years he did endorse me iildour lxY..klets. He adlni tted that he \'IX'Ote not only one but several approval letters. He a.hitted that he arranged !'or the <U.stribution of our booklets i."l hi~ church at the trme the rlati'onal Convention of Colll!l\l!U ty Churches of America vas held there. ~ ad'!li tted that he asked me !'or a dozen or more extra popies of a booklet containinr, Ell endorsement to be used by him for securing funds for Youth Problems, Inc, He ad::i tted that he sent me to a wealthy member or his congregation to secure a contribution. He aclmi tted that 'be offered to secure speak in~ engagements for t:e. He pro::dGI!d to write a letter E£ explanation to the COIIVllittee For Selr-Reeulation. I have a copy of that letter. He says in it, just what he hypocritically said in the conference. As long as I wa:; a member of his church he was friendly, cooperative and supported Youth Problems, Inc. But as soon as I left his church he stopped being my i'r:i.end. It is to be noted that Roy-&zokhartd'OeSiiOt object to Helen Haskell usinlZ his fir::t letter. He even writes a .!!rCpnd one att:aekiiig" Jill) personally. !his. in spite or the !act that I •bowed him documentary proof or the tie-up between the Com1ttee for self-Regl·lation and the Orc.;one IllStitute, headed by the ex German Communi!lt, Wilh'!lm Reich. He eitt.cr does Dot use good judgement or is more of a L:ommunist tha:li is cOIDIIonlY suspccud. I hate to write these thing; about my former Pastor and friend, bu.t I have !!l ~1at.ior: to God !!:!!! Country that goes beyond hunlan desires and relationship:r. I wow.d Lke to 1iilP"'ROy recapture the simple faith and peace or conscience I believe he once h,.d but l cannot do it if he persists in such associations and conduct.

'l'here is a lot of humor tied up in this attack upon Youth Problems, Inc. Here :i.:o laugh IJ.. Soloman Alpern or Lorain, Ohio wrote ua a letter and asked !or sample copies of our booklets. He signed the letter •cordial?A yours". ile hsve reason :t.c' believe that those booklets are the very ones sent to ilhelm Reich the ex-Gencan Coallllunist. Not so cordial. Cln December 7, 1948 Helen Haskell wrote a letter e.'ld asked for allllples of our bOoklets sayinga •aa a school te:~.cher I should be intereoted in •eeing them." Jiote that she aaid that she is a school teacher. She norr shorrs up as the Chairman of the Sub-COiiiiiittee on Selt Ec!uc'ltion for the Camnittce Tor sC1r- -

.12 tree copies or our booklets. She said s; r• was "a hospital social r.orker." Nm7 who is Perry Oldhlnl? She is (you cuessed h), Secretarx of the Comittee !or Self­Regulation. ~ocrites altrays provide l&U&h:; tor people.

Very little time or space shall be taken to answer the criticisms of the 11me too people' Belen Hukell quoted. Ooodlrin\~atson starts out by saying "I 1111 &lad to add my criti­cisa to the coments you are collecting". Wilhelm Reich said his friends would elabor­•te Oil Ule harmfUlness or the pamphlets. Perhaps the good pro!ea.sor just read those iii)~~~~~ents and added his OK, Robert p;--xnight, K.D. ~;ives us this gem: 11 To be sure, acral education should be a part or this training, bl.t education and self kntr.Yle~e, encouragement of emotional expression *iHI are also essential." Sounds as though e tlel:ieves in learning things by experience and \1ants teen-agers to express their -.otions Without restrairt. A rotten philosophy. An ignorant one. ll:'s. Henrietta L',""'iordon says that she objects to our work being done on a Natjonalistic basis. Don•t know wey she does net want America to become a moral nation \;; ':. that seems to be her idea. Inua Simonto~lack says nothing or importance but wants her name used. !te oblige! Reverend Frederick ().,-··1Cuether makes this revealing statel!llnt: 111 L'll glad to reply to this letter and to endorse heartily the criticisms made by your colllr.littee and the actions taken," Just a loud hamen" !rom a preacher of sorts. Rabbi liilt.o~!il­lie'rg aays that o\lr booklets are no good - "not even from the religjouz point or vie-.1,n In-as-much as our booklets are Chripian motivated I would not expect the Rabbi to see aeything good 1n then:.

·"Vigorously have taken :G the defense of such ~ literature *"*"• Perhap5 J.t is be­cause the majority of ~ericans are clean minded and oppose rotten sex philosophy. A group of teachers doing post graduate work at the State Teachers College of Col11111bia Vniversit,y do not like our booklets. Perhaps those school boys and school girls shouJ memorize these words or General Dwight D. Eisenhower, President or their Collllllbia University: "iiithout a moral regeneration throughout tile wrld there is no h~ for u~ as we are going to disappear one day in the dust of an atomic explosion". HanS 1.1a.cder reached the climax when he said: "It seem::; to be advisable to stop distribution of th: "*material". Remember that llilhelm Reich, the ex-Gennan Communist, in his ma.nuscr1; said "in short, such literature should be strictly !aught against, and its distributi should be prohibited." lt is going to take more than ·,!ilhclr.l Reich and other active and ex-COillllunist.s to do that jobl

We know, as a great many others do, that there is a well organized group of so called paychoanalysists in America who are doing everything they can to break do:>l'ln th<l more of youth. They are well i'.!.nanced. They use: So; words and thrD'.I titles arc.~ with great abandon. If you have been readine the Road>Jr 1s Digest for the; last tno years and other similar magazines you Jcno-,y a great deal about their program. I! you read the Saturday Evening Post of two 1'1Ceks ago you lurnod aaneti1ing about the Co11:111unist achool in New York Ciiaf. It is significant to us t.hat this destructive attac•~ on Iouth Problems, Inc., comes from New York Cit,y, colllllonly called "The Communist Capit•

- ftcllllember this: our booklets do not contain the words sex, male, femAle, passjc,n, desire, birth control, intercourse, period, intilllaey, abortion, w.nstruation, 1rastur tion, cohabit., or tho n1111es pf the personal organs of the bllllllln body. our boo!rlcts are conduct problem booklets. Not sex education material. Ie' these people a1 tack the booklets and program. 11ey? &cause we do not believe that aex education ah.,lllc:! can be taught in high schools.

If tJlese people, and their fellow travellers can lreak down belief in aorals, they can bring about an immoral condit~on in America in which revolutions tbrive. 'lhcy know they cannot overthrow America if she maintains her lollb-time­tested moral code of liVing, Our booklets are designed to preserve th:~t code forever ~ training ;youth. Hence Youth Problems, Inc., 1s made the poiilt of this Vicious attack. 'lle are pleased to report that our b:loklets arc new use:d in avery State, all ~oss Canada and in Hawaii and Alaska.

We aro not worried yet too much abrut these attacks. It has been well said: "The .ost sticks are round under the best apple trees." ite respectfully ask our critics to produce three booklets containing not more than 6,000 words each, thJ.t give as much infarmation as ours do, that wUl be so universally accepted by the public. r:e are reminded of the rookie who once said to Babe Oituth: ••I don't like tile way you stand at the plate when you hit home runs 11 • Babe shifted his tobacco .from one cheek to the other, looked him straight in the eye and said, "How do l!!!!. stand at the plate and h011 many home runs did you hit this year?" In a serwc, we have received a great ca~­pliment fran this whole gang or fran b:lth gangs 1li th their motley crew of carping copy cats. They are afraid of us. They think we are bic enough to need fi gnting.- They -­should change their na'lle .from "Collr.li ttec for Self-Regulation" to 11Com::1i tte.? for Fir.h­ing Youth Problems, Inc,"

'!'be above I:IBterial is the best we could write in the limited time we had to fool with cuch a group of fanatics. It is beir.g sent to our Board mc:nbers, to all whose names arc mentioned, to the F.B.I. to put along Ylith other information r.e h<.V(? ziven n, and to other persons of authorit-.r. iie are encloliing a copy of one .of our booklets. !Wad it and then you can sec !~ourself how clean it is and judge !.ow~ their minds must be. Personally we hate men and women Communists wmthcr they are preachers professors, or professionals. \(e arekroud to be Americans and to write material that is helping boys anc! girls to be good ericar.s,
