Robert Welch, founder and "Americanist," preaches a philosophy ond plqn^ that run counter to American tradition, ideajs — and common sense:
By BENJAMIN R. EPSTEIN
A New York Times reporter who followed Robert- Welch, founder and head of the right-wing John Birch Society, on' a tour of the South noted that Mr. Welch tends to be touchy while he speaks. At one meeting, the reporter said, an attendant paced about, searcliing for a physician in the audience Mr. Welch stopped his talk and asked why the man was "wBlking around like that." Before anyone could answer. Mr. Welch told his audl^ ence that this kind of distraction was a typical "dirty Coni-munlst trick."
If so happens, according to the Timefi reporter, the attenda-nt was looking fr a doctor.
That's the way it goes with 61-year-old Robert Welch, North Carolina-bom. former vice-president of the Welch Candy Company which, his brother and company president James O. Welch has made clear, does not share his viewpoint Robert Welch describes himself as the ".hard-boiled, dictatorial, and dynamic boss" of the society he founded in Indianapolis in December, 1958 and which. In recent weeks, has commanded major national press attention. On^ of the maddening things about Welch is tliat he always appears serious and often appears IritelUgent. The Individual words he utters in his dry fashion sound all right and sometimes whole plirases make sense. It is, perhaps, his mathematics that is off; in his world two and two sometimes add up to three, sometimes to five virtually never to th«) expected.
Welch "li »taU»d purpose Is fighting, fitoppins:. and throwiiic back Commnnlsm In the United States which, he says, has vir-tuaUy overwhelnK'd us. His
of the depth of Birchitis. In Chiuinelview, Texas, la.st month, a Ibcal member of the J()l)n Bircli Society took out after a Ixwk dl.scusslng Plato that, tier son fpimd on a junior hlgii .school librarj- shelf.'. "I cani:t help but believe that this (Plato's ideas in 'The Republic') is one reason we have so many sex maniacs walking around." she said. She had good precedent for expecting action on her protest; she had earlier attacked a book called "Living Biographies of Religious Leaders" and the local school superintendent at first said he would bum the book but later Just removed it from the shelves.
In his "Blue Book of the John Birch Society," a ranibUng 180-page volume of history, neo-lils-tor>', poetry, and plannlng;-ahead —a transcript of the two-day lecture he gave at the founding session—Fotmder Welch (the title is self-designated and always used with the. capital F) is dazzllngly Iconoclastic:
'The John Birch Society Ls to be a monolithic body. A republican form of government or organization has many afc^
Welch doesn't like hlm.he says, because Warren "has taken the lead in converting this country to deinoGi-acy." Civil rights ciun-paigns are also part of tho Communist con.spifacy, Welch i«-licves. In "The White Book of the Jolin Birch Society for 19(50," a collection of the Society's monthly bulletins, WelcJi warns that much of the Protestant clergy/ is a menace to America: "For as long as your church gives moral and financial sui> port, to the National Council of Churches, as the Council is run today, you are helping the enemy."
The enemy Is everywhere. Fluoridation of water is a plot; so too is legislation calling for registration of guns, "As the Conununi!ii« get ever nearer to taking us over ... the pressure for this firearms legislation grows stronger," Welch says, calling for opposition to "these long-range pro-Conimnnlst planit to deprive us of weapons, to whatever extent they can." The conventional notion, that regin-tration of guns helps keep them out of the hands of ^hildren or criminals, never ieems to have occurred to him.
At his 1958 irmer-circle session In Indianapolis. Welch made clear that he had little confidence in American political lead
denunciuiions of Hanimarskjold by Khrushchev and other Coni-miuiist.s. Ho says that Cbmnum-istfi attack Hammarskjold just .so that Americans will come to his defense and fight to retain him — \yhich is precisely what the Communists really want. This"^'is part of Mr. Welch's "principle of reversal"—things are the opposite of what they seem. Doe.s this sound fantastic? Welch takes care of such objections midway .through his "Blue Book." Everything I am talking Is fantastic. We are living in fantastic times and~ a fantastic situation ... we are circumstances where it is realistic to be fantastic." Tliis Is as good an explanation as any a.s to why an organization which is dedicated to the abolition of foreign aid, the defen.se program, the income tax, civil rights campaigns, and many democratic iastitutions
also thinks it is defending America and fighting Communism.
It is easy to dlsmi-ss Welch by saying that he "quite literally wants to repeal the twentieth century" (Barbara Uundscbu, United Press Inlernational), or that his organization Is merely one of the "noisy and reckless right-wing groups . . , busy pounding divisive wedges Into American society" (America, the Catholic weekly) or that "they're ridiculous and I don't think anybody should pay much attention to I hem" (Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy).
-DEMOCRAY AND THE- -Still, Mr. Welch has amassed nuicl) attention and somo fol-lowin;;. He seems to know where he's going. The Blue Book set.'! forth a scheme for a unique and sonifwhat chilling-sounding or-enniMtioii v/ith Chapter Leaders,

.shall have to use politicians, support politicians, create politicians . . ." Welch called Richard Nixon "one of the ablest, shrewd, e.sl most disingenuous and slip-jjerlest, politicians" on the .American scene. "I think Nixon could become a very patriotic anti-Comnuinlst if we could create circumstances In whiclv it would be smart politics to br one," he said of a man whose career, for a decade, has had as Its leit motif his professional and peronal war on Communism. Welch dismisses Nelson .RockPtel-ler as being committed to making the United States pan of a "one-world socialist government." A year t>eforf> the 1960 election. Welch referred to John F. Kennedy as "Reuther's stooge." Since Januar>' 20, surprisincly. I Welch has called for a continuation of the post-lnaiicural , "honeymoon." Apiwrentiy he has ! not yet reaUy accepted Kennedy as President of the United States; he has not. to date, placed him along-side Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower as a Communist fool or agent.

! Many who made good in films came from vaudeville. There
j were countless stock companies,
I too, In which youngsters could flex their acting muscles.
"Well, after vaudeville and stock dlsappeard the big-name bands furnished Wonderful experience for soloists.. They played before every type of audience and those with talent blossomed into bright, screen stars. But now big-name bands are gone — and with them the last of the training grounds for young players."
Cary believes TV doesn't provide nearly the same opportunities. "And . recording stars are something else again,", he adds. "You can be a hit oh disks, and still lack pemnallty on film or before crowds."
THE RECORDS, of course, prove Gary's estimate of biuid prodiictlvity to be correct. Many of the screen's, greatest ■ petfor-mere — men and women — have sprung from the big-name touring, dance orchestras. : Doris Day, his present coslar, started ont"^^ singing with- Les -Brown'a orchestra.
