Birchites Use Goldwater Defeat to Launch Drive
Drew Pearson reports, via Jack Anderson, that John Birch Society head Robert Welch mobilizes a global anti communism push after Goldwater's loss. He expands chapters to Australia and Brazil, uses ads and a 16 page color insert, and targets conservatives with the slogan Now Will You Join the John Birch Society. Welch centralizes control, eyebrows scrutiny over reformist public image, while critics call it extremist yet patriotic.
