DR. PAUL BLACKSTOCK in question session.
Blackstock lays bare
tactics of Soviets
By Connie Gentry
Dr. Paul Blackstock, intelligence and psychological warfare
expert, inaugurated on Monday this year’s lecture series, “Area of
Conflict in the Cold War.”
Dr. Blackstock’s topic was So
viet Political Warfare.
Although he did not give much
new information on his subject,
he did clarify a good deal of
what is already known.
Dr. Blackstock explained means
of fighting Communist aggres
sion by saying: “The contest will
not be fought on the battlefields
because this would present the
possibility of thermonuclear war
... it will be fought in the minds
of men. ”
About Soviet tactics in overrun
ring other countries he said:
“They begin by undermining the
standards and economics of the
country by means of propaganda,
character assassinations as well
as political ones, and by inspiring
Communist organizations. This
is what President Kennedy meant
when he said, ‘. . . . this coun
try can be lost piece by piece
without a missile being launched
or a border being crossed!’”
In the question and answer peri
od following his talk, Dr. Black
stock was asked if the John Birch
Society was Communist affiliat
ed. He replied that they were not
and were just a group of sick
people with crazy and far-out
ideas.

Professors victorious
in loyalty oath suit
A West Georgia College professor has emerged victorious in
his lawsuit advocating revision of Georgia’s loyalty oath.
David Pingree, anew political
science instructor, who, along
with one other teacher, refused
to sign Georgia’s loyalty oath un
til it had been revised, expressed
no surprise at the court’s fa
vorable decision.
Mr. Pingree said, “We were just
about as sure as possible that we
would get a favorable verdict.
At the time of court delibera
tion, three documents were under
consideration.
Two of them, loyalty oaths writ
ten in 1935 and 1949, were de
clared unconstitutional.
The third document, a revision
of the 1949 oath in use, was writ
