Finally our Anti-Communist manuscript is completed on the 16th of June, the day of my departure to Washington, DC for Anti-Communist seminar on anti-subversive study sponsored by Dr. Swartz, founder of Christian Anti-Communist Crusade, Long Beach, California. Twelve copies for the time being were made for distribution to Northwest key family for their intensive study. My special thanks go to Steve Mudgett who edited entire contents of manuscript and donated his time and finance for few months on this project. His contribution in this area will be recorded in the History of Victory over Communism Movement in the United States. Also my special thanks to Elizabeth Mickle, of whom Northwest family knows little, but in background she did excellent typing job of all contents of manuscript in such professional manner. I've not met her personally yet but according to my spiritual sensitive measurement, she must be a tremendous asset in near future to our United Faith Movement as well as Victory over Communism Movement on international level.

As scheduled, I left, on June 16 for Chicago to stay overnight at Sarah's Chapel. At airport, with my surprise, Eileen Welch, one of the old followers in our movement in U.S., were with Sarah and Rita. That night I met all Chicago family and enjoyed especially Sarah's radio broadcast tapes. Next day, June 17, I arrived at Washington, D.C. and stayed at the Hotel Sonesta where Seminar and Conference started for 4 days. Throughout the session, I had opportunity to meet several scholars and professors on Anti-Communism field, and purchased lots of group study materials. Several people were very much interested in and liked our manuscript, and even introduced a few publishing companies for general circulation. I met miss Castro, Cuban exile, a couple from Portland, a student exile from Hungary, and other important figures in seminar. Dr. Swartz, M.D., born in Australia, began this work and his organization in 1953, one year before Holy Spirit Association was established by our Master, 1954, and as "foreigner" he tries to save America from Communist domination. He already pioneered in many areas -- lectures, projects, research and debate, etc. which are ready for anybody to initiate small groups in school, church and campus and business organization, etc. With this help, you can complete Victory over Communism Movement, filling his gaps and his weak points with our manuscript, rather I like to say our Victory Over Communism text book. So far he has done excellent study, research, but not quite complete in criticism and there is no counter-proposal which in our text is referred to this point. I hope each of Northwest family study quickly Dr. Swartz's materials along with our text, and develop their own programs for the Church, neighborhood, campus, school teachers, or businessmen's groups, etc. I felt Dr. Swartz has a special mission from God and I dare say he is acting as good John the Baptist role in Anti- Communism and further, Victory over Communism.

During my stay in Washington, DC, I met Miss Kim, Farley Jones, President of Unification Church (they changed Unified Family name), Washington, DC, and Neil Salonen, President of Freedom Leadership Foundation, Inc. for anti- Communist movement, issuing "The Rising Tide" new letters bi-weekly and has several full-time family workers, influencing Congress in many ways. I had a chance to dine with all of Washington, DC family and I was very much impressed with many enthusiastic faces of college student as well as old members in the center, and I noticed constant progress made in training members, new programs and church activities, and so on. I am told that on June 28, Washington, DC group will hold center director's conference at Washington, DC. I changed my schedule as originally planned to drop in Utah and I safely came back to California on June 23rd I plan to make a short trip to the Northwest sometime in the first week of July.
