ter doesn't live interviews." They
ll to add, as they very well could,
"without a oourt order."
For on the occasions when the
present leader oi the American
has taiiied for the rec-
ord, it has been very interesting
indeed.
It was in 1928. in accepting the
Communist Party nomination for the
presidency. that Foster said: We
must build a Soviet government in
the United States. It will come and
behind it will stand a Red Army."
In the same address. he warned oi
the dangers of an imperialistic war
and advised workers to tum it into
a civil war for the establishment oi
Communism.
It was in 1930. bclore a House In-
vestigating committee. that foster
testified that Communists in this
country owed rst allegiance to the
Red Flag oi the Proletariat," that
religious ideals had no place in Com-
munism. and that social end racial
uality was their cardinal principle.O I I
T WAS in 1930. when Foster was
asked by Representative Hamilton
' h whether the Communist Party
desired to overthrow our Republican
form oi government by revolution-
ary methods, that Foster replied by
reading from the program of the
Communist International: the vio-
lence of the bourgeoisie can only be
suppressed by the stern violence oi
the proletariat."
It was in July, 1935. as a delegate
to the seventh congress of the Com-
lntern in Moscow that he set forth
his blueprint ior a radical working
elaa party in the United States.
The proposed pa-Y must be
based on mass trade unions and
%..':'.u:ilsts inust persuade the
trade unions to join a movement
tor the formation or a party," Fos-
ter wrote. "Under present conditions
in the United States, the suggested
party no doubt would assume a
militant radical character, and, ll
the Communist Party were to act
energetically. would exercise a strong
and even leading inuence therein."Q I IIT WAS in September. I939. one
month alter the signing oi the
Soviet-German non-aggression pact.
that he told a i-louse investigating
Committee he would not support the
United States in a war at the aide
of Great Britain.
It was in May. 1910. at the conven-
tion oi the Communist Party of East-
ern Pennsylvania in Olympia Arena,

Pruident Roosevelt's call for 50.000

and Britain to open a second tront

"ohlies." that Poster begin his career
as a revolutionary and the presenttrlail to the Communist Party leader-s ip.
It was as an I..W. leader that he;
helped organize the steel strikers
which threatened to undermine the
Nation: war etlort in 1918. 92

ithe Communist Party in the United
-States, three times its candidate I--|
President. and organizer of t .
Trades Union Educational 1.-eagu ,
which served for a time as its pr -
paganda agency.
He was arrested in 1923 on charge
»o! criminal syndicalism. when Fed-
leral agents surprised him and 11'
. other Communists at a secret meet-
ling in the sand dunes near Hridg-
man, Mich. _I a a a _ '
E WAS jailed in I930 on charges '
92 oi provoking a riot at a Com-
lrnunist rally in New York: Union
92 Square and accepted the Cornmunlst
1Presidential_ nomination in a prison '
and eight minutes and bored his
jailer sti.
But Fosters hitter-est setbacks
were reserved for him by the Com-
munist Party he so loyally serves. I
By 1924, when he rst ran 1or|President on the Communist ticket,
Foster had become head of the
American Communist Party. but his
position-was challenged by Charles
E.92Rilthenberg, one oi his coinpan-'
ions of the Michigan sand dunes.
Both went to Moscow to. argue
their cases before Gregory'.2.ino-.

berg died there and buried in
Moscow. But it was Ja estone. I

friendship between the two countries.
The writer was able to obtain copy of the resolution which was approved a
by the meeting and read by }t.F.RY 3!. JUSTIZ. In this resolution was stated,
""!e are deeply cmcerned because the State Department cf our country appears to
have formulated a relief policy which will bar heroic Yugoslavia from American
help, apparently because its people have determined to make political and economic
changes in their governrnent." The resolution then continued, "There have been
resolved that this meeting doplores the retreat of our State Department from
a policy of international and non-political distribution of American food and
relief. Tie call upon our Congress and State Department to reconsider that policy
to the end that the standard for American assistance shall be the active human and
material sacrifices of war devastated nations and the needs of their people rather
than the former government which they may chose to establish.

ASAC Stein in New York has advised that it has been
determined that Hermafafman, 233 Broadway, New York, is President
of this Association and has been President"for the past ll years.
The organization has been in existence for the past 31 years and[is said to be a reputable organization with no derogatory information
_known concerning it.
Hofman has advised an Agent of the New York Ofice that
_at a recent meeting of the Association it was decided that something
should be done to counteract the Lowenthal book and the membership
decided that they preferred making some award to the Agents of the
FFI through Hr. Hoover. The date of December 22 came up and it was
more or less agreed that the presentation would be made on that date.
Hqfman stated that he had not released information to the
press and was greatly incensed by the press having this information
and was most embarrassed that the information had appeared in the
press prior to the Association's contacting the Director. Hr. Hqfman
has addressed a letter under date of December ll, 1950, to the Director
advising him of the Association's decision and requesting that he
accept the atard on behalf of the Agents of the FBI.
On December 12, 1950, an item appeared in the New York
Mirror identifying Hoffman as head of Adelphi Hospital in Brooklyn.
This item further_stated that the presentation would be made in the
Qfices of RoberLDaru, Chairman of the Board of the Association.
Ihe item further stated that Daru would make known at the meeting ,,
of December 22, at which time the presentation would be made, the
findings of his group as a result of their investigation in wire
' tarring and other matters.$ f

Memo to Mr. Tolson December 12, 1950
' Stein has also determined that this award was made to
the "typical New York City patrolnwqfthe New York City Police
Department in 1948.
Hr. Stein has also determined that in regard to Herman
Eqfman that on March 6, 194?, a national conference was held at
the !oldonfAstoria Hotel on the German problem. This conference
supported the Horganthau plan. Invitations were sent out over
the signature of Hrss_Franhlin Dgkooseuelt and Edgagiowrpr.
_Hqfman was one of forty-seven sponsors for this national conference
and most qf the members on the sponsoring committee were either
Communists or Communist sympathieers, although there was a-small
minority nf antiC0mmunists. In 1949, Hofman was listed as a
member qf the/dvisory Committee for the;Society for Preventionof World lar'III, which organization has hs~its purpose a hard
German peace and is headed by anti-German elements.
that he In regard to Robert Daru, Bureau files reflect
himself was in Kansas City in I948, at which time he represented
as at one time being on a Senate Committee and preparing most qf
.the crime bills passed by the Congress in 1934, extending the
"jurisdiction of the FBI. He was also purported to be an outstanding
criminologist and allegedly instructed people of various communities
~ how to prevent crime. Our files also indicate that he has served
as counsel to the92Federa1 Grand Jury Association, Southern Districtqf New York and has edited "The§Tederal Juror." He addressed a
letter to the Director on September 15, 1942, commending the Director
on a statement the Director made emphasizing the importance nf the
public promptly forwarding information relating to unAmerican
activities to the FBI. ASAC Stein in New York has advised that
Dara was born in 1901 and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in
1924. He has been Chairman of the above-captioned Association
since 1941, and at one time was counsel for a Senate Subcommittee
on crime and racketeering. In September, 193?, he was Assistant
District Attorney for New York County. Be is presently a senior
partner qf the law firm, Dara, Visichi and Winter, New York City.
The New Fork files also reflect that a Mr. and Mrs. Robert
92 Daru, 186 Pinehurst, New York City, were contacts in 1941, for the
'TZeague of American Writers which has been cited by the Attorney
General. This could have stemmed from his association with the
fLQ>ral Juror. There is no other information available concerning
Daru. 2-69495!

Memo to Mr. Tblson December 12, 1950
RQCDJFHENDA TI cm,-
It appears from the information set out hereinbefore
that regardless qf the merits qf the award a most undeairablee
situation has occurred whereby publicity has been given to theaward prior to the time that the Director has even been contacted. l
It appears that it would be unwise to refuse the award for the
Special Agents in the Bureau but it is not believed that the
Director himself should accept the award. It is recommended
that upon the receipt qf Hr. Hqfman's letter that he be advised
that SAC Scheidt of the New York Qfice will accept the award on
behalf qf the Agents. I ' -

A nensclipping from the "New York Herald Tribune" of January 3, 1950,
reflected in part that the New York County Criminal Courts Bar Association had
announced on January 2, 1950, that it would make an intensive drive in the
session of the State Legislature to obtain enactment of laws for correction 'of wiretapping an search and seizure abuses. Accordng to this clipping,

this conference as being held to support the Morgenthau Plan for postwar

were some forty-eight sponsors of the confe- nce, according to the New York

representation of known Communists, a good representation of liberals and a
minor representation of persons of unknown political viewpoints, as well as
a few anti-Comunists. The invitations to the conference went out over thesignatures of Mrs. FRANKLIN nJ92EoosEvsLr and EnoA92ncwnEn.2

'The second report was from an infonment who does not want to be

in Iind and is doing eo continually et present. She informed me that ehe
hoped the location could he changed and that ii it wee not it Iould be
better if the meetiv; wee celled off. She say: the elite of the whiter
people interested in negro welfare will not go into that district. The
oroede will, to some extant, be composed of the irreepoeihlo and the cui
one end the emotionally unstable typo of colored persons. She believes
that one fight hare might be the spark which could start a riot. She told
ll that eome members of the Interwfncinl Committee were worried about tho
situation. 3ho believes that the remedy is to hold the meoting at the
Olympia, if possible, or some largo auditorium out of that district. Her
associates in the rouncll decided that if this could not be accomplished,
that it might help if more white people of the eeriouo, oincare type could
be urged to come out and come early so that there would be A representative
group of both recee, somewhat evenly distributed in numbers. They are,
therefore, distributing blocks of tickets Ihorovor they are assured that tho
tickets will he need and by people who would not reeont bing pushed around

"Ehu further stated that Ule Letroit police were nut Hbl" to cope
with the situation last time and it is not known whether thoir training or

Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: W , - - '_ - - ' ,
I was shocked at the news qf thepassing of the President this afternoon. ,There is so little that one can say or do
at a time such as this. You have not only
lost a good husbandi the nation has lost one
of its greatest Presidents, the world its
foremost leader. " . . '- ". ' _
92 ,
_ 0uer_the years his personal interestand his friendship have been a sustaining
force to ae personally, and I find it mostdifficult to comprehend the full significanceqf his loss, which is irreparable.
._ Lf ever there is anything that I
can do personally or aficially I hope youwill never hesitate_to call upon ac.

Iith expressions of ny heartfelt
sympathy, I
Sincerely yours,

Dear llr. Ho0ver--
Because I despise her so much
because she follows the party line
so consistently I want you to know
what Eleanor Roosevelt said about
the men of the F. B.L on her radio
program April 4th--
"The F. B. I. should raise the
type of person who works for it. "
"They are not always of the caliber
that one would wish. "
Get her, isn't she a pip?

Delegation known as crnznns cononrssromu. comrrrm, headed by ?-* D» / 1
GIBALD L. I. SMITH, was in Washington, D. 0., approximately June 27,
1953, to July 2, I953, engaged in contacting U. S. Senators andlepresentatives and furnishing them with literature addhcating the
abolishing of the United Hations. 1This group apparently affiliated with
er a part of the Christian Nationaliat'0rusade. gAS=a meeting at Statler
Hbtel, Iashingtsn, D. 0., on evening of 7/2/56, SMITH in speech advocated
abolishing UN and halting immigration. SMITH stated Jewish organisations
are trying to slip in 240,000 immigrants to U.S.; stated that we have
all the Russian Jews in this country that we can handle now. Described
former President TRUMAN as a little drunk and stated that TRUMAN H
fired HacABTHUR at night when TRUMAN had had too much brandy and was '
under the pressure of the Anti-Defamation League and others. SMITH
praised Generals HecARTHUR and TAN ILIIT, and stated that the American
people has a right to.know by whose authority a general of the American
arm was ordered to lose a war and permit our sons to go ts their deathl.
In discuating the appointment of AREA ROSENBERG to post of Assistant
Secretary of Defense, SMITH stated that 'we' had convinced the Senate
that she was a Communist, but that a letter from DWIGHT D. IISENHOWER
had advocated MES. ROSENBEBG'S appointment, and she was appointed.
NITH praised STHGHAH EH11; denounced IIHSTRII and HRS. ILIARDB
he Korean Var merely to prove he was against Communism. DB. IISLIZT A.
I , Lancaster, California, also spoke at same meeting, 's't_a"¬'i'rT§"'th3'Y_

7/3/53. SHIFT blamed the UH for putting U. 8. in Korean War and for§08Bi"EL1; also denounced former President TRUHAH for getting us intoJ

HIT!-K stated that the delegation received a very fine statement
from Congressman EIHDICK. He stated that BURDICK is the one man in Congress
who has introduced a bill to take the United States out of the United Nations.
SIITH said that BUHDICK was presented with a membership list of Oongress, and
was asked to check off the names of those who were in agreement on his bill.
SIIIH said that the name of 105 men in the House of Representatives alone Iere -
checked oi! by BUHDICK. Pie added that BURDICK said that when he first intro-
duced the bill he was one of less than ten who favored it.
In discussing the views of Congressmen and Senators with regard to
abolishing the United Nations SMITH stated that the men who are right Will vote
right. He pointed out, however, that there are others who will vote on a question
in a certain way because they have been "bought" or are voting that way in order
to return a favor to a colleague. In this connection S-IITH mentioned that there
is a certain percentage of men in Congress who have been very wise in Judging
the !"3,_. .92_'2il".,E; side, and he told his audience in effect, Suppose I tell you that
the shrewdest opportunists in the Congress are for us in this campaign to
abolish the UN. S1113 stated that a recent issue of "United Nations World"
reflected that according to its polls BO per cent of the public is now against
UN. He added that the article stated that the leader of the campaign to abolish
the United Nations, which campaign has made its influence felt, is the ChristianNationalist Crusade led by GERALD L. K. SMITH. DE _U__1J .
SMITH discussed HRS. sLsiso92RoossvELT. He stated that in the past
she had ridiculed HARTIN DIES. SMITH stated that EH5. ROOSEVELT has been on
the wrong side of ever; public issue. He expressed the belief that HRS.
ROOSEVELT has done more to encourage Communism in America than either EARL BROWDER
or I. Z. FOSTER. He stated that not much good can be said about B woman who
will abuse ?HI'1 1AKER! CHAMBERS and impugn his integrity alter HISS has been
sentenced to the penitentiary.
S111!-l expressed the opinion that we have all the Russian Jews in this
country that we can_ handle now. In connection with his discussion of Jews, he
referred to the atomic energy spies. He also stated that he would like to see
Old Brother Einstein run right out of the country. This statement was greeted
with applause. SUIT!-1 said that one of the Senators had taken DR. S'°'IFT to the
judiciary committee to testify. SIITH also stated that a member of the judiciary
committee told him, &lI'I'H, in Cvngress, that every Jewish organisation in the
U030 is ~_ _ e _ _ ,_ __ . . . ». . --....-1 ~

Enclosed is the original and one copy of a report oi"ȴon.dentia1
Informant- dated January 8, 1943, wherein he sets forth information
as a result of his attending the meeting of a review of literature at the
Harlem Public Library on January 8, 1943.
Informant reports that er-itieien nae directed at Hrs. Roosevelt for
her endorsement of an article written by a Negro, W R0'nN, in the cur-rent issue of the92Saturday Review of Literature and thezlederw Digest, in
which he attacked the Negro press for stirring up race tred and unrest
among the Negroes. Informant listed the number of persons present whom
he knows to be Communisi, and he believes that the meeting was 0m:mmnistic
ally influenced.
It is apparent that, although the Communists are loyal to the Allied
cause in an effort to obtain a victory for issie, they are qniek te attack
any person or group of persons criticizing the Negroes, an action which is
in furtherance of their attempt to gain a large membership among the Negro
population in the Coanmmist Party.
. Two copies of the above mentioned report are being retained in the
files oI_ the New York Field llivision.

Dear Hr. Hoover: A_ _ t
I have been carrying on a one-woman campaign,trying
to keep people from talking about minorities--feeling so completely
that in a Democracy it is the majority that governs, and that a
lot of people--some innocently; others not so innocently, are
stirring up so much trouble that it can only lead to chaos, and I
believe actual war.
I realize that you have no control over politics,-
and of course n lot of it is that.
But, when our lives are being endangered; ourcount being ruined, is the e no one who can quiet Mr5Txq9sevelt,Pear ck, Bessizfatty onggdio Station U.0.R., the H rald-
Trib e, to menti n only a few. "
If this is not in your "department," perhaps you
will be good enough to tell me to whom II can turn?
I don't represent any orgnnizatiol. These are -
my personal views. Perhaps I have even under-es '/ ted the condi-
tions as they appear to ma. - /
