Speak in Atlanta on July 19th
Dr, Billy James Hargis, who
will speak in Atlanta at the
Dinkier Plaza Hotel on Thurs
day, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. has
gained international recogni
tion for his outspoken stand
against communist infiltration
and his firm opposition to what
he feels are “liberal, left-wing
tendencies in religion, educa
tion and government which
threaten the Christian princi
ples laid down by our fore
fathers.” —— ‘
Hargis, a strong advocate of
conservatism in religion, eco
nomics and government, has
crusaded actively against com
munist infiltration in all walks
of American life for 14 years
through the facilities of Christ
ian Crusade, interdenomina
tional ministry with headquar
ters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Har
gis is founder-director of the
Christian Crusade organization.
The basic message of Christ
ian Crusade are heard through
out this country on daily and
weekly radio broadcasts and
through a national weekly tel
evision series.
In addition, his organization
publishes the Christian Cru
sade magazine which has a
monthly circulation of more
than 190,000 and a weekly in
telligence report called the
“Weekly Crusader,” which is
co-edited by Hargis and Gen
eral Charles H. Willoughby,
former chief of intelligence
for General Douglass MacAr
thur. Hargis furnishes a week
ly newspaper column “For and
Against” to daily and weekly
newspapers thro ugh out the
country without charge.
He was author of charges of
communist infiltration into the
National Council of Churches
which were featured in the
famous Air Force Manuel con
troversy and which were later
substantiated by the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee.
The Tulsa evangelist has con
ferred with anti-communist
leaders all over the world in

C. T. Bohanan Cited for Service
By Fourth District Legionnaires
C. T. Bohanan, 1960 -1962 I
commander of Newton Coun- I
ty Post 32 American Legion,
recently received an American
Legion citation “as the out
standing Post Commander in
the Fourth District for 1961- I
62.” The citation was award
ed to Post 32 by Wilson Bevil,
Commander of the 4th District.
Bohanan has been active in
the work, of his post, district
and department of the Legion
for several years. He served
as District Adjutant in 1959-
60, and also held that posi
tion with Post 32 during the
term of 1958-59.
A veteran employee of Bibb
Manufacturing Company al
Porterdale for 25 years, Mr.
Bohanan is the paymaster at
Porterdale.
Commander Bohanan an
nounced st week that “Post
32 had received a citation from
the Fourth District of the
American Legion.” In typical
modesty he said that “the ci
tation is for all the members
of Post 32 in Newton Coun
ty.”
Ty Cason, a past command
er of the post and also a past
Fourth District Commander
summed up the feeling of the
Legionaires present when he
said, “while this citation is for
C. T. as the best commander
in the Fourth District, we all
know that he is the best com
mander in the state of Geor
gia.”
