The Iron Curtain isn't soundproof. If you owned a radio set behind the Iron' Curtain, what sort of programs would you hear? From Communist sources, endless propaganda. Newscasts that twist— or suppress— the truth about home conditions and the world outside. Commentaries and criticism that are really just "commercials" for a single product— Communism. Fortunately, however, the Iron Curtain isn't soundproof. Try as they will, the Communists can't keep out the voice of Radio Free Europe. Nor can they prevent us hearing what they themselves tell— and don't tell— to their captive peoples. Radio Free Europe speaks daily, in their own languages, to millions of listeners in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. But— first— it monitors all the radio stations in these five satellite countries, and studies all their magazines and newspapers. It analyzes what they give out as news, and notes the lies, distortions and omissions. These are then exposed — with tremendous impact— in RFE's own newscasts. Radio Free Europe lets its audience know what is really happening in their enslaved countries— and right in their home towns. It answers Communist accusations. Spotlights rifts and failures. Reminds these 80 million captive people that they still have friends. And suggests some ways in which they themselves can help to regain their lost personal freedom. Radio Free Europe is a private American enterprise, supported by voluntary subscriptions. To combat Communism by getting the truth through the Iron Curtain, many businesses and corporations contribute to RFE's funds. If your company is not among them, won't you mail your check (which is tax deductible) to: Radio Free Europe Jox 1964, Mt.Vernon,N.Y.
