None Dare Call It Treason Sellout Pickets At KC GOP HQ
About 80 Methodist ministers and students picketed the Jackson County Republican Headquarters in Kansas City over the book None Dare Call It Treason by John A. Stormer. The GOP refused to stock more copies, and county chairman John A. Buffe filed a formal protest, saying the picketing could be seen as condemning the party and Sen. Barry Goldwater. The ministers argued churches faced Nazi-era silence and accused extremists of attacking the National Council of Churches.
