C.g Miscellaneous _ . L 7 it ;,On November 7, 1959,Wmade information 5* H lozp
available which reflected that at date WILLIAM HEINSTONE
addressing a meeting of the New York State OP Committee,
which was being held in Room ll-B, Adelphi Hall, Th F1£th__gWgWg_ Z
Avenue, New York City, made the following comments: *
WILLIAM WEINSTONE stated he had Just returned from a
trip to the Soviet Union and added that PAUL ROBESON was a
great cultural and political ambassador from the United
States to the world. WEINSTONE had occasion to exchange
greetings with ROBESON over the telephone during his,
WEINSTONE's, recent European trip. While speaking to
ROBESON over the telephone, ROBESON informed WEINSTONE
that he was going to visit the Czechoslovak Arm. WEINSTONE
further advised that PAUL ROBESON was stirring Europe,and
English comrades spoke with such love and affection of
the role that he played in the big peace march where he
spoke and sang in Trafalgar Square. English comrades told
WEINSTONE of the British Broadcasting Company broadcast
of the leading artists and cultural figures of England
in a testimonial to PAUL ROBESON. WEINSTONE stated that
ROBESON was an immense figure in Czechoslovakia and he
brings the best of America to the peoples of Europe and
in him they see the greatness of our country. WEINSTONE
further stated that ROBESON is regarded not only as an .
anti-fascist, but as a militant fighter for Socialism. "
WEINSTONE added that from the standpoint of culture, what
is important is the way people say not "give us an American .-
song" but "give us a Paul Robeson song". WEINSTONE jY'

9292"Paul Robeson then spoke about his programs in
Rumania, Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, the
Soviet Union etc. In Bucharest he is going to attenda conferenceipn folk-music. The West is now much . , _
propagating a*new type of individualistic music, discarding
traditions andclassical music. The apostles of this ,
new music forget that music is rooted in the people and '
speaks to the people. The greatest composers, like Enescu,"1
Mussorgsky, Bartok;_fu1ly realized that. Robeson wishes
to sing Bartok in the course of his performances in H
Hungary. Finally he'said: I am very optimistic about
the future because those are in maJority¢> Americans,
English, Russians, the peace-loving people of the world -
who are against war and who want peace1'", , _ - 92. / "
The United States Department of State, American
Legation, Bucharest, Rumania, made_information available on
September 3 1959, which reflected'that prior to leaving Rumania,on August e, 1959, PAUL nosssom was quoted in the press in an
interview as stating that, starting this year he hoped
to "live six months in each of the people's democracies".
He said he would first return to Great Britain to play in
"Othello" on September 1, 1959, and would attend a festival
honoring "LHunanite" in Paris, France, on September i, 1959,
and would come to Rumania in November, 1959» where he would
remain, at least in the beginning, for about two months.
He said he would then travel to the Soviet Union and to
Hungary. " //

The following is a statement given by ROBESON in .
A the form of an affidavit, subscribed and sworn to berore Ameriean
Consul WALTER M. WALSH at the American Embassy, London, on
May 17, 1960. _ - 1 -, 1
"I, PAUL ROBESON, was born at Princeton, New Jersey
on April 9, 1898. I am the holder of American passport
11k5187 issued to me by the Department of State, Washingtonon June 25, 1958, "
In August 1959. I travelled to Bucharest to fulfill
engagements there, I travelled from Amsterdam on a KLM_ gig __
Dutch Airliner to Budapest, where I had to change planes as
the plane I was travelling on was going to Turkey. I was at
Budapest Airport for no more than 3 hours during which time
a reporter from a newspaper or radio I cannot remember which!
interviewed me. I was asked if I would come to Hungary and
sing, I said I would like to very much. I also said that I
would be coming back again next week, as at that time it was
my belief I would have to change planes again in Budapest. I
also stated that I hoped to come back again one day for recitals.
I made this statement knowing that Olympic athelets and a s
lawyer whom I know personally and many other people had been
granted permission to travel in Hungary, and it was my inten-
tion to make application to the Department of State, for
travel to Hungary at some future date, had the ban not been s
lifted. I would also like to add that whilst I was waiting
at the Airport in Budapest, word got around that I was there,
and I was taken on a tour of the City.
"Nith regard to the statement supposed to have been
made by me that I would visit China in March; I have never
said that. I may have said that I would like to visit China
at some future date, and would probably make application to
the Department of State for permission to do so. I could "
not have travelled to China in March even if I had wanted too _
as I had committments in Great Britain. I would like to state
that the reporter who interviewed me could not speak Epglish
