Schultz Used To Be Red He Tells Senator
Berlin June 2 German RIAS program director Eberhard Schutz admitted he used to be a Communist but says that makes him a better fighter against Communism now. He said two staffers were nominal East German Socialist Unity party members before fleeing to West Berlin and defended RIAS against McCarthy attacks. Schutz argued ex members strengthen broadcasts and that RIAS helped forecast communism’s next moves in the Soviet zone. He denied that RIAS fomented last week’s workers revolt but said broadcasts contributed to unrest.
