"True defense of the nation is defense of the wel~
fare of the people. Trade unionism in America is seriously
threatened today as never before in ldstory except for the_
first World War. The award of defense contracts to lbrd
and Bethlehem, the use of the antitrust laws to bust
unions and encourage openeshops, the anti~labor legisla-
tion is part of the Roosevelt Administration's drive to
take America into the war. To do so it needs to crush the
labor movement, and youth must fight every stop of the may
against it."1'J
The attitude of the Communist Party toward the proceedings
is also shown in the following quotation wLich appeared in the
Sunday Worker for December 29, 1940, page 5:
"The forced labor camp issue was discussed hotly.
From the floor many questions were asked about the
nature of the camps and their possible uses as cheap-
labor eserves and gags {or antiwar youth. ChairmanErnestJenncs and Robert Lane, ISS secretary; replied
with red-baiting and finally shut off discussion."
Persons taking prominent part in the conference were:
HeinholdigeibuhrQuincy h weM Frs. Eleanorioosevelt.1_ 92._
News items covering this conference pointed out that the
student leaders attending the conference were trying to create a
new American youth organization free from Left~wing domination.
The vanguard_oI this movegent, according to this report, was
sponsors the Inte ional Student Service and is drawn fromfarvard, adcliffe and rarthmore. The movemen 'to create an
rganiza ion free from eft-wing domination wa headed by Peter??uh a,B.aduete of Snarthmore in 1931, and Ed Ames, head of
the rvard Student Union. The program, whic. they suggestedwas? follows:

nuv£MENT" by Joseph P. Lash! states, in part, "I.S.S. today is uncovering the
vast resources of leadership that exist on the campus. It is the training
' school of student democracy. it is becoming increasingly clear that mankind
will never go back to the post-Versailles status quo, it is not at all clear
what the picture will be in a few years and how much that is good in democracy
will survive.......If anti-democratic forces are allowed to secure a monopoly
on the articulate youth leadership today, they will have a decisive hold on the
fUt|UI'¬en. , _92

. _ BIRHINGHAII, ALA-, Oct. 26. "1 check tron ttn White House
helps support Fifth Column activity in the South.
This charge supported by a photographic reproduction oi
Hrs. lleano:4,Roosevelt's check, is printed on the inside front cov-er er a booklet, "Ihe"l'IFI'H cotumw in the South", released here to-
day tr the Southern headquarters of the Constitutional Education-
al League: The author, Joseph P, Kemp, Vice-Chairman or the' League, also wrote the widely circulated erpoee, "'Ihe"I1"lH COLUMN
in Washington." .
Photographs in the booklet show lira. Roosevelt's check tor e
$100 drawn April 23, 1940, on tho Bank or New York payable to the
Highlander Folk school, Honteagle, Tenn. , and the letter or trans-
mittal on White House stationery addressed to James Dmcbrowski at
the School.
Dounbrowski, according to the booklet, was arrested in Eliza-
bethton, Tennessee, during the Cmmuniet-led textile strikes in
1929, and in 1932 brought Soviet posters from Russia which were
held uppby the U.S.Custom.s ee"seditioue.
The Nashville Tenneseeean, Democratic newspaper eupporting
President Roosevelt for a third term, is one oi the many ources
quoted to support Mr. Kuap'a"'indict|aent." That newspaper inves-
tigated Highlander Folk School last year and, according to the
Kemp booklet, declared it to be"a center, ii not THE center for the
spreading of Communist doctrine in thirteen Southeastern states."
The author charges that this "training center for Communist
agitators" has been rcgilarly supported by Ire. Roosevelt since
1932 and that it has received financial help through the llatioml
K Youth Administration and the WA. Be quotes Highlander as adver-
tising that its regular start of instructors is assisted by "govern-
ment officials who will lecture and lead discussions." llr. Kemp

__, 5nothergcvernnsnt official, Aubrey wiiiisnsj head or the
J-lit-etional Youth Administration-is accused of having provided-a let-' 0
! tar of introduction for "Communist" John Donovan, National Hepre- '
sentstive of the orkers Alliance, when_he came to Birminghm in
1958 to help promote the Southern Conference for Human Welfare, which
the bcoklet charges, was Communist inspired and controlled. _
The Williams introduction is quoted as having said in pert:
"I regard him very highly and have found that he usually knows mat
he is talking about." _ v :
The author describes an "anti-American song book" prepared by 1
' the students at Highlander; be says that on "the most-thumbed page"
is the Communist theme song, the Internationale, and from page 23 he
quotes "an old tune with new words" as follows: 7
"Hy country tis of thee,
Land of mass misery,or this 1 sing. . 1
Land where the workers toil,
And bosses reap their spoil,
Where children starve and freeze,
' From fall till spring."
"A dangerous alien-bred and alien-minded Fifth Column has in-
vaded an unsuspecting Southlnnd," says ilr. Kemp in his opening charge,
"It agents, agitators and eaboteurs are in strategic positions in '
.the schools and the churches; among fennera and industrial workers;
on WPA projects and in government agencies. Everywhere - in even;
Southern state, in most every community - this sinister network is
spreading its vicious propaganda and organizing its forces.
"So subtle has been its approach, it has enlisted endis cur-
rently receiving the help of nany respected and trusting Southerners.-
Its program is anti -American am! anti-God. The ultimate goal is eo-
oial chaos, the overthrow of the government and the establishment of
'a new social order". 7
After presenting much detailed data and many quotations from
Communist documents, Hr. Kemp makes the blunt charge that tln objec-
tive of the Fifth column is "to take over industry! To take over
the South]. To take over America." ~;

The Federal Record, Volume T, No. 1, undertakes to explain the
meat shortage and points out the necessity of OPA price control to hold
down the cost of living. The article stated that the cost of living has
already gone tee high and that the members of the Union must eee to it
that Congress does not let prices go any higher. It recommended the
following:
"1. Congress should direct government agencies to impose strick
controls on slaughtering and distribution-of meat.
"2. Congress should provide enforcement funds to police and Jail
the black market operators. OPA has only 250 investigators for
the entire meat industry. The FBI was aeked to help police hlach
markets, but refused. we can get rid of the black marketeers Just
as we got rid of kidnapers, if Congress will back necessary enforce-
ment measures.
"5. Congress should find out why the war Food Administration is
always playing ball with the industrial self- interests by opposing
necessary controls and by running its operations with the smallest
possible reserves of food on hand for emergencies like now. Congress
might even put the Her Food Administration in charge of all food
operations, and throw all price control to the winds. After that,
unchecked, uncontrolled profiteering and price inflation.f
On Page B of the D. C. Edition of the same issue it was urged
that Union members take action to check higher rents, and suggested that *
members check with OPA if they have any doubt about the rate asked by the
landlord. The article stated, "If you want to keep food and rent prices
pegged, tell the benate and House Banking and Currency Comittees to keep
the present price control laws without amendments, but with better enforce-
ment."
Although the Federal Record has consistently supported the Office
of Price Administration in'its rationing program, the Volume 7, Nb. 2
issue contained an article pointing out the victory which had been
achieved in a year long fight to protect a 19 year old comptometer operator
of OPA from discrimination. The article stated that an attack by UFHA-FEPC
in the form of pages of affidavits succeeded in THE1M&*AIHBY rctsiin h°T
position and her supervisor, WILLIAM{SLACK, leaving the Office of Pri¢o
Lizlnistration. ' '

of its ocial statements, issued in March, 1941, the American Pea;Mobilization declared: ' -- » _- 5.9.";
But even if we don t approve of England's war, mu her sat 7
still preferable to Hitler's; and isn't it better to ght and heat 1
Hitler with England than without her! No. An English victory
will result in the same aort of imperialist, anti-democratic peace I 'willnNI-zi victor?-" o o -- -- -:-
At the time of the issuance of the foregoing statement, the Ainericaa
Peace Mobilization was engaged in picketing the White House. Its pickets
carried placards which denounced the President as a warmonger and I
tool of Wall Street. There were also placards which denounced lend-
lease, and others which described the war as an imperialist conict, etc.
Young Communist members continuously passed out leaets at UCLA
and the University of California at Berkeley calling upon the student:
to resist conscription, lend-lease and to keep out of the British
Imperialist 'War. "
On the very day that Hitler attached Russia, the American Peace
Mobilization withdrew its pickets from the White House. The organisa-
tion itself was promptly disbanded, and its erstwhile adherents became
vociferous American patriots demanding an immediate entrance of the
United Stats into the war. -
The American Peace Mobilization carried on part of its agitation
with songs. The chorus of one is illustrative: ' *---

response to a call by one Viola Ilma, a conference was organised at NewWU -I: TTI'l:I'jDE;§I 1Iqa-hi:-a;Pl|92-a Q-a---A 92'-_ b__I_ I'll;avll 92.rl.|II'|;amla_v| VI aa:uu1]__LUl.l Dill]!-l"I:| J9292C" IUYK Lilly-
The Communists contended that Vioia Ilma was tainted with Nazi
or Fascist sympathies and that her idea in mobilizing American youth
into the America Youth Congress was inspired by observing youth
organizations in Italy and Germany. In an_v event, the gathering in NewYork in 193! included representatives from national youth organizations,
reaching all the way from the Boy Scouts to the Young Communist
Igggug .
The Communists tooltover immediately. Earl Browder, in his book
"Communism," describes the capture of the American Youth Cougres,
and. incidentally accuses Eleanor Roosevelt, members of the Roosevelt
Cabinet, and state governors, along with Viola Ilma, of having Fascist
tendencies. Browder said:
"A unique achievement of the youth united front movunmt
was the building of an anti-fascist bloc inside the American Youth
Congress. which was called together by a certain young woman
__ named Viola Ilma with the backing of Mrs. Roosevelt, Anne Morgan,
a half-dozen State Governors, members of the Roosevelt Cabinet. etc.,
with the purpose of adopting a program for American youth which
was distinctly fascist in its tendenciel."
Like many important Communist front organiiation, me America
Youth Congress was so cleverly handled that many prominent persons of
non-Communist tendencies were drawn into its circle of supporters.
With the help of the Socialists, the Communists were successful in
ousting!-'iola Ilma from the leadership of the American Youth Congrm,
ind installed Waldo Mcl92utt as chairman. hic!92'ntt held this position for
about a year, when he became the national organizer of the American
League Against War and Fascism. another important Communist front
organization. Waldo 'Mc.92'utts father, Ernest F. Mchlutt, was a member
of the Kansas State Committee of the Communist Party and a repre-
sentative from Kansas on the national executive board of the Workers
Alliance of Ameoa, the Communist front for unempioiad. '
' Waldo Mcl92'utts wife, Rose Troiano, was a member of the adminis-
trative committee of the American Youth Congrna.
William W. Hinckley was executive secretary of the American
Youth Congress for a few months in the latter part of 1935 and became
chain-manof thé organization in January of 1936. He continued to nerve
in this position until Jul}-, 1939. The Dies Committee reported that
the Communist Party arranged and paid for Hinekleyh trans-atlantic
passage to Europe in 1936, where he was in attendance at the Frat World
Youth Congress. At this time H incliley was chairman of the American
Youth Congrt.

Dorothy Parker, Donald Ogden Stew_art, and a group of people who metwith a man who had come from the German underground. A
Mrs. March stated that she had been a character witness for Herman
Shumlin, theatrical producer in New York, when he was tried for
contempt of the House Committee on Un-Anierican Actitjties together
with other members of the Communist Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Com-
mittee. - e - - - --
Mrs. March admitted that she was acquainted with Mrs. Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn, a member of the national committee of the Communist
Party, and that she was one of the delegates with Hrs March who
attended the Congress in Paris. She stated that she had not been active
in the Congress of American Women for some time and that she had
resigned from the board of the organization a year previous. She testied
that she had given up _her position in the International Democratic
Federation. She emphasized the point that she had not given up her
activities in these groups because she opposed them but bemuse of
"certain pressure of work.
Mrs. March appeared with Frederic March, her husband, before
Congrssman Dies in August, 19-$0. On that occasion Frederic March
was confronted with a former secretary of the Communist Party in Los
Angeies. At one point of his interrogation Frederic March made the
following statement: '
"Mr. Dies, 'ma_v I ash one more question in an attempt to sum
" up! Assuming Mr. Leech is attempting to tell the truth as he sees
it, might it be possible that my name had been bandied about! "
c -- Mrs. March was asked whether or not she found herself in s similar
position in 19-18 that it might be possible that" her name "had been
bandied about"; whether or not she should be held responsible for her
connection with known Communists, such as Elizabeth Gurley Flynn,
or had she been fooled because of the purported objectives used by the
Communists in "window-dressing" their causes and organizations.
She stated that she had not been fooled into going to the Congress in
Europe-" She then read a telegram which she alleged was sent to thegeingress in Paris by Eleanor Roosevelt. The communication read as
o Iowa: '
May I take this opportunity to send all those attending the
Internationai '92Ton1ens Conference my best wishes for courage and
spiritual guidance in your struggle to restore your countries._"
When Mrs. March was reminded that Mrs. Roosevelt had admitted
on occasion that the Communists. had fooled her, the witness replied by
saying I might be fooled into doing something I thought was right in
doing, hut I couldn't be fooled into something I thought was wrong."

' This unsigned article, uhich is apparently intended as a report
to some undesignated individual or group, has as its stated intention the
offering of proof that the publication of "Undercover" by John Roy Carlson,
is an "incident in an extensive......progran' to exploit the ear situation
"in order to divide and confuse the American people to deepen and intensiy
the revolutionary elements present in the coutry', and "to silence all op-
position to the foreign policy of the present administration".
The method of the campaign, according to the author, is, by vil-
ification and slander, to destroy the reputations of all persons opposed to
the policies of the agencies involved. He lists the following groups as
collaborating in the program: '~ ~
1. Th:/gmerican/Cgmmunist Party2. The/friends of Democracy, Incorporated 13. Th./inti-Defamation Leaguei. the Ncn=Sectarisn Anti-sari LeagueSe/ §es Deal Agencies
The entire article is devoted to proving the above point and
considerable space is given to attempting to shoe that "Undercover" ens Con-sunist inspiredisad published under the auspices of the Friends of Democracy,
formed by Leon Birkhead. The career of Carlson, whose real name is ivedis
Boghos Dercunian, is covered in detail in an effort to shoe his Comnunistic
background and influence. In discussing various allegedly Communist front
groups, the report returns consistently to =Undercover=, referring to it as
the "epitome" of the methods used by the 'snearers.
Under a subheading, 'Iethod", the author states that the entire plan
built around the sords *Fascisn' and "Nazism"; anyone who disagrees with the
"Smear Bund' is a Iazi or e Fascist. If direct charges cannot be aade against
an individual he is associated, by innuendo, eith known subversives, thus
transferring the stigma to the object of the attack. Several examples of this
technique are mentioned. _
The objective is stated to be to set the Protestant against the
Catholic, the Catholic against the Protestant, both against the Jess, shite
against Iegre, employer against employee, eto., thus creating disunity and

0n February li!, l941,_ learned oi a conversation had on
that date between !AHJORI!'¬Z;SIPG, Acting Executive Secretary of the PGA
in Massachusetts, _ She advised him that a founding con-
vention of the Hassachusetts Chapter PCA would be held at the Hotel
S:merset An Boston on March 2.- The principal speaker would be HELE!GAHhG£92DQ¬:LhS, Congresswoman from California, and SHZPLEY was requested
to rake a irty-minute speech. Be was forced to decline because of prior
commitments, and was hesitant to accept the honorary chairmanship of the
Massachusetts Chapter. They discussed the growth of the PEA in !essa~
chusetts and the activities of the Union for Democratic Action, also
known as Americans for Democratic Action. SHAPLE! asserted that two of
the ROOSEVELTS and LEON HENDERSON were very active in the ADA and desq
cribed themselves as genuine liberals." SHAPLEY averred that they were
-~ nearly genuine and nearly libera1;' but that so long as they continued
to look for Communists under their heda, they would accomplish nothing.
He was fearful lest this organization sap the strength of the PCA and
render both meaninglesl. LANSING pointed out that Hrs; ELEAHQR-RGBSEVELT
worked closely with the'PcA and thus counterbalanced the two ROOSEVELTS
in the ;.D!.. SHAPLEY finally agreed to accept the Honorary Chairmanship, .
and further to undertake the organisation of scientific and professionapeople in Massachusetts into the POL. r
