Fortify Alaska Quickly or Face Sudden Destruction
Salt Lake City: Marilyn R. Allen, 1948. A pamphlet from Marilyn Allen's America Forever series in which she warns that unless Alaska is fortified that it will be invaded by Bolsheviks (or as Singerman interprets, "Asiatic-Russian-Jew-Communists"). As she often did in other pamphlets, Allen contributes multiple patriotic poems and includes a section at the end on how to survive an A-bomb raid (wear white loose clothing).
Marilyn Ross Allen (1890-1977) was born in Ohio and lived there until at least 1935. She appears in the 1940 census living in Atlanta with her widowed mother and working as a private secretary for a publishing company. (This compared with Ralph Lord Roy’s profile which states that she was Southern-born and working as a secretary to a Jewish insurance agent.) According to Roy, she fled to Salt Lake City for fear of race riots where she spent the next three decades churning out anti-Semitic, anti-Communist, and white supremacist propaganda (p. 108). In 1949 she published her magnum opus, Alien Minorities and Mongrelization (1949), a nearly 500-page screed against communists, blacks and Jews and a “clarion call, a CHALLENGE to WHITE CHRISTIAN AMERICANS to protect, defend, and preserve their racial heritage, their fast-dwindling freedom, and their CONSTITUTIONAL rights.” Despite her extremist views, Allen complained bitterly about having to self-finance her publications (Carlson, Under Cover, p. 152). She died in 1977.
