Mothers press anti Charter agenda at meeting
A Sun reporter witnessed a Gibson hotel meeting of the Mothers of Sons led by Mrs. Lucinda Benge. The speech accused Jews and Negroes, praised anti union foes, attacked the United Nations Charter and Bretton Woods while promoting a daily letter campaign to the State Department. The group, linked to nationalist and fascist-leaning literature, framed government aid as anti white and warned members to write in their own style.
