' ' Regarding the National Progressive Party, it is' _
noted that the National Committee, CP, USA, in issuing its n
.final text of the "Resolution Growing Out of the Presidential-
Elections" in "Political Affairs," issue of July, 1953, states
in substance that in l9h8 the CP helped stimulate the formation
of the Progressive Party and correctly supported the Progressive
Party through the 1952 elections. It then states:
"However, the mistake our Fart? made was to con-
fuse this task with the historic task of forming a new mass
party of the people. As a consequence, there existed the

wrong estimate that the formation of the Progressive Party
represented something more than the simple emergence of an
important fighting force for peace; that it represented the .
emergence of a great mass people's Party." .
As a resuit of this reasoning, the resolution
conciudes that the "Progressive Party, the GP and other .
progressive forces" must unite in a broad, mass-frOnt_
coalition.
Concerning "Political Affairs," mentioned above,'
ELIZABETH GURLEY FLYNN, a convicted CP functionary, testifying f
in the case "US vs Elizabeth Gurley Flynn et a1.," on
October 20, 1952, stated that "Political Affairs" has been
the theoretical organ of the CP since the publication's
beginning in 19h5. - i

The pretext inquiry regarding NATHANIEL
en wn hC. LEE as
current Presid t of the Ybungsto_ 0 io, NAACP 2
o the_ter was mgJP bi SA
In setting forth the members and_officers of the
NAACP in this report, they were characterized as to their CP
affiliation only when there was evidence_of CP membership or
substantial information indicating GP membership.to the Cleveland f
It is noted that many of the officers and members
of this organization are civic leaders, professional men,
ministers, politicians, labor leaders and people generally
active in Negro affairs. The Cleveland files indicate that
the CP has from time to time attempted to influence these
people, to secure their support and in several instances-
supported these individuals in political campaigns. Some
co-operated to a limited extent on issues such as cost of
living conferences, peace mobilizations, political campaigns,
etc., apparently because they were popular issues or because
they thought it was to their personal advantage to do so.
Several of these individuals, although co-operative at one
time, were subsequently reported to be opposed to the CP orcommunism. ' -
For example the files indicate that some of these
persons have been on GP mailing lists, the names of some have
appeared on CP petitions for public office; some participated
to a limited extent in Progressive Party affairs;in 1944, two
prominent Negroes participated in panel discussions on Negro
History at the Ohio School for Social Science which has been
cited by the Attorney Generah several were active in the
National Lawyers Guild in past years; one, CHARLES H. LCEBa Republican candiate for United States Congressman in 195$,
solicited and accepted CP support in his political campaign;
some participated to a limited extent in the National Negro
Congress; several attended public gatherings, such as the
ones where ANITA LOUISE STRONG and PAUL ROBESON spoke; and

Joined with the youth in this tri-city area in the fight
against the racial discrimination policies of the Kennewick
Social Club.
"The matter became a hot public issue when club

discrimination be s pped.
"JAMES* cIVER, Seattle attorney and chairman of
the NAACP's Northwest Legal Redrees Committee, has sent
letters to interested parties saying that every Negro youth
discriminated against has a cause of action against the

The Houston Post, daily newspaper, Houston, Texas,
carried article on May 9, 1957, which read in part as
follows regarding NAACP:
"A state district court Judge Wednesday placed the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
under a permanent injunction which in effect strictly
defined the terms under which the organization can operate
in Texas.
"The permanent injunction issued by District Judge
OTIS T. DUNAGAN barred the NAACP from:
Practicing law in Texas. '
Encouraging, instigating or financing lawsuits in
which it does not have a direct interest.
Soliciting or having others solicit lawsuits.
Engaging in political or lobbying activities in"
violation of state laws.ul-

il-
"JUDGE DUNAGAN also ordered the NAACP_ chartered in
New York to pay a franchise tax which the state alleged it
owed because it was a foreign corporation. And he
directed it to keep open its books for inspection by the
attorney genera1's office or state auditor.
,"He directed the NAACP to pay all accrued franchise
taxes plus interest and penalties within 30 days after
the amount due the state is determined, or forfeit its
right to do business in Texas.
-"Texas levies a franchise ta; on all corporations
doing business in the state according to their size and
their gross yearly income.
"Assistant Atty Gen DAVIS GRANT said the NAACP
had not filed any reports with the state since it was
chartered and there was no way of estimating the tax
until the NAACP filed its reports.
"In preliminary arguments the state had estimated
the figure at a minimum of $900."

the NAACP, but enjoined this organization from the practice of
law, engaging in political activities, lobbying, soliciting law

claimed that the NAACP had violated the laws of this state, where-
upon Judge OTIS DUNAGAN issued a temporary restraining order against
the NAACP, and later enlarged the restraining order into a temporary
injunction. The effect of this was to tie up the affairs of the
NAACP in the state, and close all of its branch offices for an in-
definite period. The ultimate purpose cf the suit was to drive the
NAACP out of the state for good, this paper indicated.
The paper continued that in the original suit, the state
asked among other things, that the court issue a declaratory Judg-
ment in which it would properly interpret the laws of Texas with
respect to the NAACP and its rights to continue to carry on its
business in the state. It was the request by the state that gave
rise to the permanent injunction issued by the court.
The paper continued

This newspaper stated that no corporation, either the
NAACP or any other corporation may lawfully engage in the practice
of law in Texas. It further stated that no corporation may law-
fully do any of these things listed above and from which the NAACP
is restrained from doing; therefore, the newspaper continued, all_
the NAACP has been enjoined from doing are things which it.may not
do lawfully anyway. So, the NAACP has lost no right as a corpora-
tion that it had before the suit was filed. These things were un-

Attorneys H. J. DURHAM and C. B. BUNKLEY, JR., who rep-
resented the NAACP in this suit, were quoted by the paper as having
said that they could see no justifiable reason for an appeal from
the ruling of the Tyler court because nothing had been lost by the
decree. The NAACP is back in business, these attorneys were quoted
as saying, and it is permitted to do all that it has ever done in
the past. If the NAACP has engaged in any of the prohibited acti-
vities, it was wrong in doing so, this paper stated, but the long
history of the NAACP supports the contention that the NAACP always
operated within the framework of the law. If this be so, the new-
paper reflected, "and it appears that it is so, then the NAACP has
lost nothing as a result of the suit." The court held as a matter
of law that the NAACP is a non-profit making organization and that
as such, it is not permitted by law to have a permit to do business
in the state. This is a direct rejection of the state's contention
that the NAACP is a profit-making organization and was, therefore,
subject to strict corporate control by the state, this newspapersaid. ' "

1957, reflected that District Judge DUNAGAN on May 8, 1957, had
issued a permanent injunction order against the NAACP in Texas,
and all of its affiliated organizations. The order does not mean
that_the NAACP is completely outlawed, this article stated; how-
ever, it points out that the defendant organizations have no lawful
rights under the laws of Texas, and are permanently enjoined from:
1. Engaging in the practice of law or financing a suit
in which they have no direct interest.
2. Engaging in political activities or in lobbying
activities contrary to the state laws.2. Soliciting law suits, either directly or indirectly.
. Hiring or paying any litigants to present, maintain
or prosecute a law suit.
Judge DUNAGAN held that the Texas State Conference of
Branches and the Southwest Regional Conference of the NAACP and
the lll individual branches named in the suit are integral parts
of the parent organization, and subject to its direction and con-
trol. _
I .
The order also held that the NAACP which has done business
in Texas since 1915, according to this newspaper, is a non-profit
making organization, and as such, is not required to obtain a state
permit but "under the law is required to file franchise tax reports
or returns and to pay franchise taxes for the privilege of operating
as a corporation." The NAACP was ordered to pay all accrued franchise
taxes plus interest and penalties within 30 days after the amount

due the state is determined. Failure to comply will mean the
forfeiture of the right to do business in Texas. There is the
further stipulation that all NAACP branches permit an examina-
tion of their books, records and accounts upon written request
from the Attorney General's oriicee The court decreed that the
NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., one of the
defendants, is now completely divorced from the parent organiza-
tion, but subject to the same restrictions. The NAACP, accord-
ing to this newspaper, promptly filed notice of appeal when this
court order was handed down. All activities of the NAACP were
halted last fall by a temporary injunction and the trial just
