plane trip which influenced his action. He could not recallattending any meeting, however, and decided to resign fromthe organization after reading one of the pamphlets. Hebecame aware that he "didn't like the people in it"_and thathe had no sympathy for the "line" which the organization wasbeginning to take. He also recalled that several prominentpersons, which he believed included Judge MURPHY, also
. resigned on the same day. _
J;§§5§ _ Governor BROWN stated that the quotation from his letter;as§%$@' Min the statement referred to above clearly points out them jf&,Mu*¬§a§-t " reason for his resignation, 1.e.; the differences between the "~-Ijfl Guild's national policy and his own personal convictions.
He also stated that he was criticized for attending adinner for HENRY A. WALLACE who during 1946, as Secretary ofCommerce, visited San Francisco, and noted that prominent
civic leaders in San Francisco, including both Republicans and Democrats, participated in the arrangements.
we - The fourth charge, Governor BROWN stated, related to his=?1~; alleged connection with a banquet in late 1945 in San Francisco.iééii He recalled a group of young people visiting him at his officefists? in this connection, and that there was some indication that he¥@%? -was desired as a speaker. He noted that he had always been.»% interested in young people and their activities.e However, helater received information from a Judge McMAHON, who had also 'been approached, that there was some question as to the sponsor-~ ship of the banquet. In reviewing the statement, previously- referred to, he stated that use of his name was without his _authorization; that he did not appear at the banquet; and thatMwgd he did not support the organization or engage in its activities.
,§g§§g; . _g,_ Governor BROWN also recalled another meeting in the Los;§§§§g{* -. Angeles area about June, l9H6, at which he made a brief . ¥§3t appearance. This occurred during his campaign for Attorney T6" ' General on a ticket headed by BOB KENNEY, who was also therealong with a number of other speakers. The meeting was held tat some large auditorium where prize-fights were held becauseuhe recalled the ring in the auditorium, and the rally-wasattended by perhaps as many as 5,000 people; He could not_ recall the organization which sponsored the meeting but believedthat the theme of the meeting had something to do with opposition~, to the Ku Klux Klan. Governor BROWN said on this occasion he" spoke four or five minutes, and that several other candidates.s=;, were present and spoke. He recognized the group, after hissagas arrival, as having what he described as a "left wing" flavor.

who was not aware of the true facts might possibly placethe wrong interpretation on his appearance. '

in meeting and facing this danger. ' _ - .

The l955 Report of the California Committee on Un-AmericanActivities, page H6, stated, "The Independent Progressive Partyin California was quickly captured by the Comunists, and bythe time the Wallace for President campaign had swung into highgear was being operated lock, stock and barrel by the ComunistParty of California. Time after time the committee in question-ing witnesses throughout the State discovered that the leadersof the Communist Parties in various localities were identicalwith the leaders of the_Independent Progressive Party in thesame area. It is true, of course, that in the IndependentProgressive Party there were many sincere liberals who, becauseof dissatisfaction with the two major political organizationsregistered as Independent Progressives and continued theiraffiliation until the true control of the I.P.P. became obvious.These people invariably resigned, many of them having given the
benefit of their experience to various official agenciesinterested in the exposure of subversive activities."

Dear l 920/I
Thank you for your letter of January 16. I have refused atall times to become a sponsor of any organization or any meetinguntil I first investicated its oackrround. I knew that the YoungCommunist League or some similar organization had oarticiaated inthe formation of the American Youth for Democracy. I, therefore,called the young lady who asked me to become a sponsor for thedinner, not the organization, and asked her if there was any truthin the assertion that the American Youth for Democracy was com-munistic in either origin or intent. ,
it was not in any manner, shape, or formmembers of the Young Communist LeagueShe told me that they were affiliatedhad at one time belonged.with many church groups. I was also advised by her that the organi-zation encouraged young oeople to oarticinate in government and thatit fought racial intolerance and religious bigotry.She_advised me that

Memorandum to Mr. Rosen
Re: EDMUND GERALD BROWN
Brown, who was advised investigation was being conducted
at the request of AEC was interviewed at his request. Brown stated
he was aware of allegations of leftist tendencies against him. Said
his opposition to deportation of Harry Bridges dictated by militaryI, and civic expediency since he feared deportation of Bridges would
result in tie-up of California waterfront. _C1aimed his membership
in NLG prompted by legal associates but that he left NLG after
becoming aware of the nature of the organization. Brown concluded
by stating that one of the greatest problems this country faces
today is the danger of Russian communism and that the FBI and he,
as Governor of California, have a common purpose in meeting and
facing this danger.
RECOMMENDATION , ; $1"-ID""""""_ Qvvl nu FB|- W0"
It is recommended that the nilllll investigative reports
be delivered to AEC by a representative of the Liaison Section. '
