FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
10:00 a.m. June 6, 1968
Kitz
I am shocked at the untimely and tragic death of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. My
deepest sympathies extend to the family of Senator Kennedy and others who suffered less
serious wounds at the hands of the assassin and their families. I join in the prayers of
a grieved nation which are extended to all.
Disrespect and disobedience to the laws of the land must not be tolerated. Total
anarchy or a tightly controlled police state will be the outcome if the present trend
continues.
The basic cause of this near anarchy should be blamed on communist subversion where it
belongs. It is well documented by knowledgeable persons that the communist conspiracy in
this country is trying to create discord and is used often to take over various causes for
the purpose of destroying our Republic from within.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy was the greatest blow ever suffered by
the cause of freedom. Oswald was a Marxist who took great pride in announcing that he was
a Marxist and boasting of his philosophy even after the assassination.
There has been no doubt in my mind but that the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther
King resulted from a communist plot and that his assassin was a communist whose identity
may never be disclosed. Today the press reported the accused slayer of Robert F. Kennedy
carried pro-communist writings and threats.
The communists, their dupes, stooges and tolerators, use as an alibi a claim that
those who have reverence for the constitution, super-patriots and others who confess love
of country, are responsible for acts of crime and violence. These "defamed extremists" are
peace-loving, law-abiding and generally religious people who believe in protests through
the ballot, not through the bullet.
Beginning last November, there was a definite turn toward the right. It has been
interrupted by the assassinations of Dr. King and Senator Robert Kennedy. It remains to
be seen if peace and order will be revived and continued.
