as an industrious individual-and was well respected, howe --
ever, in recent years, SCOTT has been mistrusted-by botn_
whites and Negroes. MDOTY stated that CORETTA KING ob-
tained her college.education up north" and while attending I

Johdson had arranged a meeting with Negro leaders, and her husband,

he thought that he would be unable to exert much influence inasmuch
as Roy hilkins would be the leader, and that Kilkins and the others
would merely be "yes men" for_the President. Martin, Coretta said,
would send his recommendations by telegram. In continuing, Coretta
stated that the President had sought out Martin on several occasions
for private meetings but did not want the meetings made public She
advised that Yartin had balked at talking on the phone with the
President because Martin felt he had a matter to discuss of such
importance that he had to meet the President.

. Southern Christian Leadership Conference- .
_ __ SOLO! 5 Racial Matters - -
On April 17, 1968, a confidential source who has
furnished reliable information in the past, ascertained that _"
_.'on that date Stanley Levison_was in contact with Dora-McDonald._ sggretary to Martin Luther King, Jr., deceased head of the - ,
SCLC, and thereafter Coretta King,_wife of Martin Luther King.
92 McDonald told Levison that ?Meet the Press" wants-Ralph -
Abernathy, successor to Martin Luther King as head of the SCLC J
to appear on this program as soon as possible and Coretta King
at_a later date. She stated that she had not talked to
Abernathy who was still in Memphis. Levison questioned if
Martin Luther King had not been scheduled to appear_on "Fade,
the Nation" then added that "Meet the Press" was the roughest
- one. He said he had talked with Abernathy and advised
not to appear on "Face the Nation" at the r s _ _ - _ p e ent"time_
he believed Agernathy was gambling with his reputationif Abernathy falls on his face" he would do so before
nation. He said Abernathy agreed." Levisoh added-thathim '
because
and ' '
the whole
as far '
as Abernathy is concerned, it_won1d"he1best if he put off any -.
appearance until-just before;the Washington Campaign Poor
PeopIe*s Campaign scheduled for Washington,-D.C;! and that
Abernathy acknowledged that he ne ds to study up on currentlegislation and Politica-1 fee-ts.'% LL, .- .

' Levison referred to Coretta.King's-possible- - .
appearance at the major mass anti~Vietnam:war_demonstration_ .
= 'schedu1ed for New York City on April 27, 1968. He-said_
he had checked.with Dave Dellingeris National Director, - _ =

' to appear on this program and also to participate in the '-
Mothers March in Washington, D.C. in connection with the -
Poor.Peoples Campaign! as_1ong as she.does not dozn¢hing__
else.' ' . ' . . .- ..
' - Levison then told Coretta King that he had checked - ~
with Dave De1linger's office and that there is a good
platform so that if she is inclined to particpate, they ' _ '
should be prompt1y_advised so they can have the benefit of i
the publicity. He emphasized that she-should not do other;
things because it would be too much exposure}_ Comparing heri"
situation with that of Jackie Kennedy, Coretta commented that -
she believes many people see that her life was not the same, _
.that-people understand how she_was in the picture" and have ' "
- now given her a mandate that she must remain "in the picture".
Levison agreed but counselled-this should be done-gradually
and in good taste" _' . ' '
_ Coretta asked about requests for articles about
herself and Levison advised that, as a general principle, '" _
-proceeds for-suchrarticles'shou1d=go¢to her because the subject -_-
of the articles will command the price." He said if thousands
are paid for an article, then a-few hundred is all the writer -
is entitled to. "1
Levison mentioned that Grosset and Dunlap, an
old publishing firm, is comingjout with a book, "I Had A ' -
- Dream", about Martin Luther King which is unauthorized- He ' ~
said_Harper and Rowe are willing to have their lawyers prepare
. an injunction presenting or stopping-the pub1ication_andl
distribution of this book, but a telegram is needed from. I *
Coretta to_proceed. Levison then read a telegram for her -
signature and she agreed to have Dora McDonald-send itimmediately. '

. Subsequently, the source ascertained-that_Levison advised
Harry Wachtel that he had spoken to Coretta King, widow of _
Martin Luther King, and told her_that the SCLC has-forgotten
. what the people who went to Nashington.for the PPC went for. '
He said he told her that she does not-have the capacity to -
solve the problems, that he does.not_be1ieve she should go f
into the leadership but if she does he-will not go with her;
Levison mentioned that there is a complete lack of integrity, -
that if they are not shaken up now nothing but_evil will_' :1
happen.. He noted that Andrew Young does not want leadership
preferring to be in the second-level of leadership but.that .
.Coretta King wants the top leadershipi 'He a ded that both -Abernathy and Coretta King are inadequate:;j814 - "t
The source learned on June R, 1968, that on that date, E
Levison and Andrew Young discussed the SGLC meeting to be held .
- in Washington,.D.C; Levison mentioned that the meeting time
had been changed because Coretta.King was going to a-union "

Young brought up the matter of Bayard Rustin's statement
- and said that Rustin wanted him to approve it. Young_stated
that he would not approve it wouthout a group analyzing it.- He said he did not Know why Rustin issued 11;. .: -- -
Levison attacked Rustin?s statement stating he has never-
seen anything as insulting. He said that the PPC effort_in:. "
Washington is being sabotaged_by_the SCLC people in Washington,
- including Young, by act'ions_'such'as bringing Rustin in to run I
the_June 19 march. He told Young the SCLC-was playing house'

_ that not much of a city would be needed because once the action
began and people went to Jail they would be fed there. He ".
.' said there has not been any campaign and for Rustin to come. in as he has, compounds all the confusion about leader'[email protected].
Levison brought up the fact_thet Coretta King_wants to .
.- be on the SCLC Administrative Committee. He_said he told her I
-.that the problems are too deep for her to think she can-solve
. _-them, that she had underestimated the gravity of the problems "
and overestimated herself. He noted that_Coretta is not-sure--
whether she can work on the book she had planned for July '
because she felt she had to be in Resurrection City and that "
she has been told she has a duty to the movement. He said he
'told her that the book represents financial security and warned
her against people trying to use her. Levison added that he "
