Reds Spent $100 on Hate Campaign
UPI reports George V. Allen director of the U S Information Agency says a Communist inspired hundred million dollar hate America campaign has been launched from Cuba to undermine U S prestige in Latin America. He told a House subcommittee the propaganda aims to provoke a reaction against U S intervention and to aid Fidel Castro's government and spread elsewhere in the region. Allen says the drive is part of a broader territorial Communist conspiracy targeting Latin America's economic political and social progress and may cost as much as the entire U S information and cultural effort in the area.
