The first lecture will be given at the Knights of Columbus in Pitts- burgh tomorrow night, October 12th. This will be followed by a radio talk over Detroit Station WJR at noon on the following day, With the end of his "year of silence," self-imposed as a mark of his Catholic faith, Mr. Budenz has planned this series of lectures as a means of giving hope and courage to men and women of good will in many places. "I was one of those who thought blindly and erroneous- ly that, with the destruction of Hitlerism, the Soviet state would become more democratic and peace- loving. The very opposite has taken place, as I told the nation at the time I left the Communist Move- ment. Soviet Russia, I learned defi nitely while editor of the official BASEBALL'S Communist daily organ here, plans OUTSTANDING HITTER to dominate the world. Her chief TED WILLIAMS objective is the destruction of America by a 'creeping blitzkrieg' OF THE BOSTON RED SOX which will finally result in World War III. The discussions within the secret councils of the Communist Party, at which I was present, were based definitely on Moscow's decision that the United States had to be annihilated." The combination of teaching Eco- nomics at Fordham during the week and carrying on these lectures on weekends is very favorable to Mr. Budenz. He has not been able to accept all the invitations that have been offered, however, because of the travel involved. Requests from Los Angeles, New Orleans and Bir- mingham, among others, have been refused for this reason. As it is the lectures scheduled, which will con- tinue until next April, represent only a small portion of the requests which Mr. Budenz has received. Because of the popularity of these meetings, two have been scheduled for Boston to take place November 3rd. Tickets for these talks and others have been sold out long in advance. In New York, a lecture has been scheduled for Friday evening, October 18th, at Regis High School downtown. All the scheduled gath- erings and talks, with the exception of the radio lecture from Detroit, are under Catholic auspices. Mr. Budenz is determined that he will take no "cuts," and that his travels will in no way hamper the full academic program which he is now carrying on at Fordham.
