THE AN HOR
New World Youth Festival Planned /or 1959
Are you listed in
Reprinted from IRAC Bulletin
Who's Who
t "Moscow Communists expect thousands
of American Wom en
of young people from all over the world to pour into Vienna, Austria, in July and August, 1959. The event is the seventh World Youth and Student Festival. "Like the Youth Festival held in Moscow in 1957, the Vienna Festival will be Communist from start to finish. There will be speeches, demonstrations, parades for :peace, cultural events, and propaganda for closer ties between youth of a:ll countries and the Soviet Union. In coming months, American Youth organizations can expect the same bombardment of literature urging participation in the Vienna Youth Festival which they received, and rejected, in connection with the Moscow Youth Festival. The Vienna Youth Festival will be the same procedure all over again .. .. " As the August, 1959 date approaches, Am erican youth organizations, women's clubs, fraternal, veterans', and church organizations will again be called on to explain th e nature and purpose of this Yourh Festival to American youth who might be tempted to a ttend . American youth who do attend should be made completely aware of the kind of propagandi zing event they wi.Jl be walking into in Vienna. "
