Description
Photograph also used in article dated August 11, 1964.
Photograph article dated November 21, 1958 partially reads, "Atheistic Communists scoff at the Bible as folklore and laugh at religion but rural Russia stands as a source of hope in a counter-attack against false ideas. 'Men on the Russian farms are men of opposition. There is a spark of individualism,' said Austin Conover, Citizen News columnist, who spoke yesterday at a noon luncheon of the North Hollywood Rotary Club. Conover went on a six-week, fact finding tour of Russia last summer." Austin Conover, Hollywood Citizen-News columnist wrote a series of stories on his travel experiences, which were carried in the Valley Times as well as the Hollywood Citizen-News.
