Mr. J. Edgar Hoover
Federal Bureau of Investigation . _,Washington, D. C. - ' J , "fT{'* |/" . '/' * "/"" _. .~ ._,
Sir: ,.t;___' '~
I'm frightened and distressed at the terrible inroads that
the communists, black and white, have made in our country today.
Last week, here in our city a negro woman was evicted
from her house because of non payment of rent. The next day the
Black Panthers moved her furniture back into the house and pictures in
our local paper showed the Panthers standing in front of the house armed
with rifles and declared they would use them on any law enforcement
officers who came to evict the woman again. An anonymous person92 payed her back rent so there was no confrontation between the police and ~ Black Panthers. My question is, who controls our city, the police or the -
1 Black Panthers?
t I'm enclosing a letter of explanation to our local paper by
t the realestate agent who had evicted the woman by court order.
Why is it the Black Panthers and other negro militants
create so much violence then be coddeled by the authorities and yet any
white orginizations are hounded and persecuted ?
It seems to me that our country is in a state of siege by these
negro and white communists and I wonder what can be done to stop it now
before it is too late.
Sincerely,

I, a Republican candidate for mayor,
ieel it my duty, as a result of recent
newspaper reports starting this past Fri-
day, Feb. 27, in the Sentinel, to speak out
and speak loudly at this time on the sub-
ject of law and order.
I believe the founders of this great
nation and the writers of the Constitution
of the United States were writing with
God-given wisdom. I, myself, believe in
orderly procedure and proper due pro-
cess oi law and do by every act and deed
try to proceed in this manner as far as
humanly possible.
With respect to recent newspaper
pictures showing a small faction bran-
dishing firearms. I say this is a dangerous
situation. It will be a darker day in
Winston-Salem than a total eclipse of the
Sun and a most mourniul time it a small
group of seeming insurgents start; shoot-
ing. This type ot conflict between people
would be more horrible than interna-
tional war as there are rules of war that
nations abide by when they are in con-
ilict. Now I wish to admonish this small
faction to forget about shooting people
and use their shotguns tor the shooting of
rabbits, quail, squirrels, deer, bears and
wild turkeys. In this kind of shooting
they will get out in the open and see the
wonderful workings of nature and the
Almighty God and it is my hope that
these sights will bring them to their
senses. I have been working hard these
past {ew weeks, from early morning until
late in the night. and I am tiring and ex-
pect in the next few days to go down
around lvioncks Corner. South Carolina
on a wild turkey hunt and hope to come
back most refreshed. Won't you wrong-
thinking people consider doing likewise?
In regard to the Feb. 27, Sentinel
news article concerning a private matter
between myself as agent of the owner oi
a house on Northwest Boulevard and
Mrs. Minnie Bellamy, I make the follow-
ing statement.
: _ J,
I
w ,1 'r r "_- .
K. l- l., " ,5; .5
t 5-Ie .5-¢!tl.'"¢l# .5 , » / s ~/
ms. Bell -ed me as agerit rent
which she should have been able to pay
without difficulty. She failed to pay me
and I started a proper legal action to col-
lect rent and at that point business rela-
tions were terminated between me as
agent and Mrs. Minnie Bellamy. The
court heard the evidence in this matter,
handed down a decision or judgment for
the rent that she owed and a judgment
for possession of the house. Mrs. Bellamy
had the choice oi moving or paying up
the rent. An officer of the law worked
with her for e week, trying to get her to
move or pay. Finally, without success in
either direction, on orders oi the court
which were signed by a court officer, he
evicted Mrs. Bellamy. I happen to know
personally the sheriffs deputy who
handled this eviction and know him to be
a good humored man and a man of good
disposition. He did not purposefully
damage Mrs. Bellamy's property.
As to the weather on Friday, Feb. 27,
the day on which the Minnie &llamy
eviction took place the sun was shining:
the Newspapers predicted a warming
trend, it was a cold night Thursday prior
to the eviction on Friday but had warmed
up considerably at the time the court ef-
lected the eviction. -
I, as your next mayor of the City ol
Winston-Salem, will work for the up-
building of both people and things. We
already have laws on the books and the
agencies to upbuiici both people and
things. I will put forth all my energies
and elforts to upbuild people and things
and as to these agencies that work with
the upbuilding of people, I will see that
they get on the move and teach such
people as make up the Bellamy family to
learn to budget their money, prepare
pfo er nutritional meals for themselves,do better housekeeping, and make of
themselves better citizens so that they
vviltimprove their lot in life and in so
doing improve the lot of their fellowman.

According to its OfflC1a1 newspaper, the Black Panther
Party BPP! was started during December. 1966, in Oakland,
California. to organize black people so they can take control
of the life, politics, and the destiny of the black community.
It was organized by BOBBY GEORGE SEALE, BPP Chairman. and
HUEY P. NEWTON. BPP Minister of Defense. NEWTON is presently
serving a sentence of 2 to 15 years on a conviction of
manslaughter in connection with the killing of en Oakland
police officer.
The official newspaper. "The Black Panther." which
further describes itself as the "Black ftwunity Hews Eervice.
states that the BPP advocates the use of guns and guerilla
tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the
black people. Residents of the black community are urged to
arm themselves against the police who are consistently referred
to in the publication as "pigs" who should be killed.
The Black Panther issue of September 7. 1968.
contains an editorial by Br? Einister of Education. erases
MASON MURRAY, which ends with the following-
'Black men. Black people, colored persons of
America, revolt everywherei rm yourselves. The
only culture worth keeping is a revolutionary
culture. Change. Freedom everywhere. Dynamite!
Blade Power. Use the gun. Kill the pigs everywhere."
Included in the introduction to an article appearing
in the October 5, 1968. edition of The Black Panther is the
statement, '...we will not dissent from American Government.
We will overthrow it.
Issues of "The Black Panther regnlaly contain
quotations from the writings of Chairman MAO Toe-tung of the
People's Republic of China and feature M0s statement that
_fpolitical power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
The national headquarters of the BPP is located at
3106 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley California. ~Branches have been
established at various locations throughout the United States.

How is7itthat the PLP iseable tO_put forth this perniciousan<__i.false_lineandC _ _
gain a certain amount of sympathy? There are a number of reasons: First, there is'*$*a general worldwide struggle against revisionism led by the Chinese_and Mao 'e e ¥
Tee Tung. The restoration of capitalism in a number of formerly socialist " C Ff
countries, the betrayal of the struggles of the peoples of the world, has outraged _many people and has underscored the importance_of vigilance in preventing the__ ' o
strengthening and temporary victory of revisionism in the.struggle between two
roads.- It is somewhat natural that in the struggle against right Opportunism
that one would be prone.to "left" opportunist errors. Second, there is a ten ,
dency, which stems from superficial radicalism, radicalism not steeled in the '
struggle of the masses, to establish one's revolutionary credentials_through
zhetoric. Third, as we have observed, there is within the imperialist homeland, '
particu1arly"among those belonging to tho white national majority, a powerful ""-7-
disposition toward national chauvinism manifesting itself in arrogance, feelings of
of superiority, subtle racism, condcscension, etc, Fourth,_the peculiariss of the
the American movement--the triumph of dogmatism and revisionism in the U.S. e
Communist Party. the "generation gap" induced by the repression of the fifties,
the slanderous attaok.by Khrushchev on Stalin and_the dictatorship of the proletar-'
iat, as well as the errors of the Marxist-Leninists--haveall bred a distrust for -
the teachings of the leaders of the worldwide proletarian movement, Despite - e-
the new_worldwide triumphs of HarxismLeninism a general ignorance prevails
within the U.S3 on torost elementary principles of scientific socialism
which_is only just beginning to be overcome. It is our yiew that many of the
errors of the membership of the PLP fall into the category of infantile leftism, '1
reflecting-the newness of their participation in the movement and the sincerity
of their convictions, in contrast to the mature neo-Trotskyism of the leader-ship_nurtured oqor a long period. _ 'T" ' "'- _- '= ' L
But thekey_to'the'confusion on'a theoretical level has to do with the peculiarities
of the world situation, he are faced with an entirely new situation as a result '
of the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union. The Chinese party has
taken the Russian revisicnists to task and exposed them for all the world to see.
The Vietnamese party has not seen fit to join in this attack nor have the p n
vietnamese launched a cultural revolution. .It is also true that the Vietnamese
in the north have accepted "aid" from the Soviet Union, It is certainly our :
viow.tnat every nation building socialism must undergo a cultural revolution, ~
vi deed they will undoubtedly go through_a series of cultural revolutions, but_itA -ewould be,idealism in the extreme for us to become grand strategists of - i '
svoryone_else's cultural revolution especially when we have not yet ourselves
accotqished the preliminary socialist revolution. The difficulty stems partly,
85 to-have sfid, from an'idcolist, ahistoriccl method of onolytis,- By judging
all.events'merely from the vantage point of the most advanced developments,i.e.ktbe cu1tpraI_revolution, all other events seem pale beside it, thy doosnfteveryone see what we see! Why hays they not done wat needs to be done? we
have witnessed this error before in the utopian socialism of the 19th. century.
But this 'enlightenment' world outlook has gained new vitality because in this
instance we are dealing with state power in the hands of the proletariat. Hence ""
it seems as if anything can bc accomplished. ; f', @;_ _ 3; ;p'T.'§i-.7f =_ _ C- - - -,."'- - "~ ' --< '1-~ s ,.

it is designed to maintain a facade of support for revolution. Recentlydthe

Chou En Lai summed up the question excellently so far as we are concerned in a
speech delivered at the National Day Celebration given by the Vietnamese ambassa-
dor. -
On the Vietnamese question, Soviet revisionism has long pursued
a policy of sham support and real betrayal. In fact, the peace .
talks scheme on Vietnam is jointly devised by U.S. imperialism and
Soviet revisionism. After the invasion and occupation of an .,;.;92=_n
Czechoslovakia by Soviet revisionism, U.$. imperialism will definitely
demand e higher price on the Vietnam question, while Soviet a _
revisionism will only serve U.S. imperialism all the more obce- J
quiously in the latter's scheme of splitting the Vietnam nation
and forcibly occupying souther Vietnam. It is high time all -those wh cherish iligsions about Soviet revisionism and U. S.imperialism woke up! '
It was in the same speech that Chou En Lai hailed Ho Chi Hinh's great leadership
and reaffirmed Chinese support for the Vietnamese revolution. If the leadership
of the PLP were really consistent, it would denounce Mao Tse Tung and the
Chinese party for permitting Soviet "aid" to pass through Chinese territory. C _.
If the "shameful betrayal of the Vietnamese revisionist leaders" was that grave,
what docs it make H20 who has yet to denounce them? The last refuge of these __ --
scoundrels in attempting to cover their real opposition to the Vietnamese is to
finally admit we are doing the Chinese a favor since they must quiet for _V}" '-Q;
of reviewing PLs literature we found an even better statement of their ~ i"-
position which we include here: lie believe that revolutionaries must agree
on this crucial point: under no circumstances should aictbe taken from
revisionism. I-e believe that anyone who takes "aid" from the revisionists
will eventually lose their struggle, no matter how heroic the forces involved.
We believe this to be n life and death question for the international - ».
revolutionary movement. - ' _ V ~ _ '

._ofrthe_entire,left. The Panthers demonstrated the necessity of armed'
. self defense to protect the black community; Their ten pdfnt pro- Q
-_gram deals not only with_the surface and legal manifestations of L
racism but with the basic oppression and exploitation- The Pan- .
thers projected on a national scale that even in the fight for blacki
liberation, politics rather than skin color is primary. Thi5 P10"
Vided the basis for Third~Horld People to work together and with
-whites in coalitions based on mutual respect and struggle against '-
the common enemy. Specifically-rejected was the subordination of
one people to another as in the old civil rights and trade union
movements_ Whites dominating blacks! or the sycophancy and tail-
_ending of whites in the early black power.movement. - -r '
- Because they measured.peop1e by their relationship to oppres- '
4. sion rather than by their skin color or rhetoric, the Panthers
OPQHIY Opposed self-seeking Negroes who served the ruling class,
even if they wore naturals or used the language of nationalism.
The Panthers opposed Black Capitalism, and Negro Democratic Party
politicians, just as it opposed the white servants of the ruling
class. - < . . .
The Panthers have led the way in pointing out that ultimately,
the liberation struggle of black people was inseparable from that of
all people. Without subordination to the conservative conscious-
ness of the white working class, the Panthers have worked toward
alliances withtvhites for destruction of capitalism and the build~ E
ing of a new nonexploitative society. - - -
,But the Panthers are not superhuman. Despite their many ad-
vances, they are still capable of making mistakes and moving in
the wrong direction in response to changing conditions. Muting
criticism in the name of support to the Panthers does no service
to the Panthers and the black liberation struggle. If there can
be no debate and criticism in the left, the result will not be - -
united action, but ossification and ultimately decay. A left which
lacks respect for its own ideas and programs and cannot stand inter¢-
nal debate, cannot possibly hope to win the support of the masses. i5

criticism of this conference., , aw Y

ference point in an extremely dangerous direction for the left. Q
The Socal1ed %United Front seems to be turning into an excuse _
for conservative alliances, a unity based not on common political _
_Struggle but artificially constructed by top down control and the i
