A symposium of the American Orthopsy chivalric Association in the Hotel Pennsylvania today was told by Dr. Gregory Zilboorg that revolution in totalitarian countries was far off because the dictators offered their peoples outlets for aggressiveness and resentment by directing it against Communists, Jews and the Church.

The freedom to persecute religious and racial minority groups, he said, compensates the subjects of dictator nations for their lack of freedom in other respects, and they are “far from the psychological state that bids fair to produce a rebellion.”
