Many thanks for your letter 0 January 4th.
it is unfortunate but true thqt f Qgnngtngr68,w1th yogntpet the ref_rences you gggeto Al-Cépp,Dry/Kil1ian,J elch, Benibhs,E1=eno ooseve1t,nndDnnn%/Keys represent on our part nny oversiqht of Cow'unist
. infi trstion or menace.
If we learned nnythinc st all from our wer
erporioncc it wnq nhnt our FBI keeps in closer touch with
those nnttere thvn "nyono ren1ises.1n fact one or another
of their agents drops by hore OCCas1Ogll§-as thqy do I imegin.
nt most publication offices-lookin for information we mny
have th-ouch our ch-nnele here with record to this subject.
,vi4once which will stand up in Cou"t is ebsolutely nececsary
before one mrkes eny inferences or: accusations,
To infer thet YANKEE ovtrloks the Communist
mennce is in my view not only silly but dqnzerous. The Vitler
line and now the Communist line is of course to wepken the
confidence of the Americnn people in their own tried and true
institutions.If Fresioent disenhower anJ the FBI en? ~11 the
security agencies of the qovernment haw HpprOVHd Dr, Killian-
which by low they must URVB dono,how can one say that s photo
of him weerinr eyeglasses in YANKEE mean Communist sympathy ?
h~t shout th: photos which hove npponred in him on prsctice*1;
every pvper in the country ?5
Please get the record stnlqht at your office bot!
nbou. YANKEE and ourse1ves...you couldn't find H more "Mnericm
outfit Pnywhere...0r one better informed with rcgerd to the pi
falls of foreiqn pvopnqnna. If you find nnyone or hear OT HEY
who rays different nn con prove it,plce:o lot us know.

Flushed with victory and animated by unity, the 010 closed
its seventh annual convention by ree acting Pres. Philipynurray
in a tumultuous 45-minute session. "
Its victor st the polls acknonl ged in person by Ira.E1eenor92ooseve{t, Vice Pres. Henry AC; allsce, Sec. of the
Interior Harold La92IckeB, Mayor F. H. Lauardia of Hen York
and Mayor EdIerd92Kelly of Chicago, the CIO rode a high nave
of enhanced prestige and internal harmony characterized by
not a single negative vote being cast on any question in the
5-day sessions.
Affirming that lsbor has no interests apart from the
people's welfare, the convention voted to continue the CIO
Political Action Committee after giving Chairman Sidney Hill-
nnn the greatest ovation of his career. '
The nation's industrial union feder tion ended its sess-
ions on a storr note when it demanded imvediatc action to
scrap the Little steel formula and increase wages in step with'
advancing livinr costs. This was demanded not only as a matter
of Justice to war workers but to prevent depression as the ne-
tion approaches V-E Day with its reconversion problems. Public
members of the Natl. War Labor Board received a stinging rebuke
for failing to recommend action of the President on the steell
workers 17¢ hourly wage increase. '
The convention, representing 6,000,000 workers in 41 un-
lens, presented a comprehensive postwar proprav to the n tion
in Murray's reenploynent plan, based on industry councils topped
by e notional u-oduetion board to assure 60,000,000 Jobs. Wide
vistas for full employment were opened in the 010 postwar plan
for development of civil aviation as a major industry, for clean-
ing out the slums, extending schooling and health services,de-
veloping more river basins on the TVA model, rebuilding rundown
railroads and highways and building up the merchant m"rine to
handle greatly increased foreign trade.
On the internwtional arena, the CIO affirmed decisions of
Bretton92?oods and Dumbartonuoaks to set up s world organization
"ith po~er to asslre peace and prosperity throughout the world.
It also bade Godspeed to its delegates en route to London to
open preliminary talks with British, Soviet and other union
leaders to outline a world lcbor federst' o,open to all United
Ratio s unions. .-
Delegates gave s tremendous ovation to Wallace when he -
urged them to keen their eyes fixed on washing oTinsthe-nexttwo years to see that 60,000,000 jo*s beeere Egslity. "A Job
for every voter and a voter for every job" we the way Wallace
put the problem of building prosperity by getting out the vote,
pressing home the issues and holding congress to account as
Btowrds of the people.
/ In somber -ood, the convention heard Lt. Gen. Brehon B.

aThere is set forth following, information concerning a rece_3-
conference of ministers sponsored by the Washington Bureau of the F:-atergu =
Council of negro Churches in America, 1834 llth Street, Northwest, This-""" 92
conference was held on April 18th and 19th, 1944, in Washington, U, C,,_ 92_delt chiefly with the rights of the Negro people and the problems confr 92
them in regerd to discrimination, segregation, and Jim Crow laws, T:-=--2

By way of background, it should be stated that the FraternalCouncil is headed in liashington by Reverend 92'!Il»LIAli H2J'lIRHaGIN, a mlitenn
minister who for many years has been associated with e numerous organize-
tions in Washington, J-J. 3., that have fought for Negro rights. Although he
has been associated with a nmaber of organizations known to have been con-
trolled and dominated by the Communist Party, he is not believed to he a
member of the Communist Party, although he will cooperate with it in regard

Shortly after the first of the year, lliss 11. PAULINl§ mYE:'=.S,
formerly of New York City, and the former national organizer of the larch .
on lfashin,-;ton Movement, became associated as administrative assistant to
Reverend J1-;;~'.c.sL@1u in the Fraternal Council. Immediately upon Joining this =
group, a drive for publicity could be noted in the various Negro pane:-s in
Washington. A committee of 100 was set up by the Washington Bureau which
was composed of ministers whose Job was said to be to study and influence
progressive legislation in regard to llegro rights. Eeverend§_L%£}L_L1¬5'i'ChHILLIAJJS. pastor of the -lsbury llethodist Church, and President of the 9292'ashin5-
tE§n_I'terdenominational liini sters' Alliance was elected chairnan of this
organization. The Council thereafter was known to have taken action in
e:-ores-sing its disapproval of the choice of Senator TBILEO as Chairman of the U I 7 H I if 1Senate District Committee. 92.»OltD}:.1Jd.l.92lJ.Ll924_.D SE1 /0,. 3_n:*B'8,3 /r

and roiloving the same pattern as had been previously followed by the "arch -
on Washington. Early olans were laid for a conference of ministers to be
held sometime in April which would deal with the rights of Negroes. Good _
uuhlicity was noted in all of the Negro nublicetions in this area. The con-
ference would consist of a mass meeting, a prayer service, and a dinners
On April 15, 1944, the conference opened with registretionof ministers in the afternoon. That evening, a mass meeting was hezd at
Shiloh Baptist Church, Ninth and P Streets, Northwest. A. PHLLLIP LPB
of the iarch on Weshington Movement and the Brotherhood of dleenine iar
Porters was one of the main speakers, speaking on the racial crisis in
America. He told of the world cartels and how such agreements served the
interest of a few and how the rest of the world was exnloitec, including the
Hegro race. He stated that now was the best time for the Negro to strike to
remove tne barriers of racial discrimination, Pnd that revolutionary strategy
- would be necessary in order to accomplish such ends. He advised the coloredpeople to resigg/discrimination by non-violent direct action of refusal of1'J
cooperation, asked that Negroes ally themselves with liberal "bite forces
such rs IOEnAT~sh£hA5 and hrs. ELEAHG3E1n§CSiVELT, EAKDGLPH favored the 1
Socialist theory oi government. and attacked the Comnunist idea of govern-92
ment according to KARL MARX. 92
Ur. MURDECAI"JOHESUH, President of Howard University. also was
one of the main speakers. His talk on "The World Community and the Hegro"
centered on the organization of the world community. In his statements, he
expounded the existence of the world community in which comparative distances
between far arses and countries are less at the present time than they were
a short time ago, He said that with this new intimaCY the problems of the
people of all rations would become accentuated. Thus, there would he the
organization of a world community which at the present time is the basis of
this war. He asked who was roing to organize a world cmonunity, Hitler with
his blood theory, or the Allies with their theory of democracy. The winning
of the var, he stated, won't organize the world, es war is never e c:nstruc-
tive means of organizing. He said that the means lay in the hands of the
neoole who desire to keen the peace and not to exploit others which would
form causes for new wars.
Dr. JOHNSON went on to say that while Hitler had conceived and
nernetuated the "race" doctrine, the deeds conforming to that doctrine had
come from America. He erplained that England was and is the most cold blooded
exploiter of human life, and cited as BXEJQIER Africa, India, China, Lzlny,
and others whom the British refused to eive up lest she herself sufder meter-

such e manner, the Boers of South Africa, the Belrins with their highly

'14.133 Lafayette Avenue
Brooklyn, H.Y.
October 29, 1950
By Coincidence I met a Russian man he said that he was an Government
official and that-he is just short time in this country and her it is -
what he told me that the exchairman of the Atomic bomb David Lillienthal
and Drqxbanden they both have sold the top secrets of the Atomic bomb
to Ko1otd&'and they got a large sums of money which it was paid off by
the bank of Senator Herbertlchmane consent and he told me that theSenator Lehan is holotot Uncle and the ex secretar Henryforgenthaussistor'isfoloto§e wife so they are all of them related td each other
and they all work hand in hand and further more the man told me that
;#Truman had staged this war with korea and that Truman had wrote a special
letter to Stalin and he demanded that Stalin must start the war at once
with koree and that it is no time_to hesitate that he should strike at
once and Truman wrote that he will cancel all the debts which Russia
owes America nhd he will pay all the expenses and that the harshall
aid will continue to Support Russia and Truman wrote that this war
was very important for him because he had no other excuse to ask for
those billions of Dollars which he needs to have built up his dictatorship
and he has allroady the power to rule as a dictator and that Great
Britain and France and Russia and Trumen_shqll rule the whole world to
come this letter was delivered to Stalin byT§}Hog§§ge}t and her Son
Elliottfoosevelt when they flew to Europe e couple of months ago,
The man told no that Trumans letter was very long and very destructive
for America but he couldn't tell me more but only that Truman remarked
that his enemies & Russian enemies should be detrayed and that all
the newspapers and the publishers should be kicked out and that they are
adorn in every bodys eyes nbd that no one shall dare to live in the
White House hut Truran himself and that all his friends are asa Stalins
best warm friends wished success. I hope that you have received this
letter and please give the letter to Edgar Hoover.
Sincerely Arnum.

Last 3atu"day I attended a deer supper. The conclusion was
. reacheo that a reasonable sum of money would be collected for a gift to»Irs./ghscvclt, because she was the only person who deserved consideration.
They stntci'¬1ut she had been very successful in making distribution of two
different issues of books and tho. she mill be of greater value in the
lutnre than in the past. In the last issue of books 520,000 copies have
been iistrihutod anon" nations. The speaker of this supper has given credit

April 7th. 1946,
At 3 .5 ?.N. this afternoon, a meeting was held in the/¬::tZ
Creation ' 1, at which time $1500.00 was collected, and it we o be
sent to ,Adamich for money to help in the fight for Yugo-Slavia, to
get Tri ste, for their own Port of entry.
A telegram was read from idamich, in which he stated that the
people hnd now to decide, nho the most dangerous peonle in Europe were
to the cause of the Party. Spec"l emphasis was placed on the factwe must all see by all means tha!}ikhilovitch was not protected by the
U.S. or by anyone else, but must be taken care of as any traitor would
, en? should be. '
Among the members later it nas stated that/Balakovitch was going
to Europe in Nay of this year, and was taking h s wife with him. Ha will
go to Belgrad.
It res also stated that Adamich had very close connections, that
hid been very hirh no in the Roosevelt Cabinet, end these oonneotions
were new {cing tc help in the firht to pet Trieste for the Yugo Slavs,
. There J95 some v.ry close talk about he closeness of Adamich,
Ealaiovitch, "w? "rs. ncosevelt, bordering or the suerestion of intimacy,
and an explanation 0 hon this would ell Work out a little later on, in
conjunction with the Party programme.
Cther statements in this direction, about the money Hrs. Roosevelt
ras receiving from the various leaders was also brought up. It appears
to be Party gossip, among those supoosed to be in the Know.

A meeting was announced for April 28th., at_» ich time a speaker
would be present, who had been to see Stalin, and',imitroff, and that a
surprise awaited all those who attended.

her agreement to speak, and that he had succeeded in having a brief talk
with the President while the President was seated in his automobile on the
grounds of I-hrde Park. He stated that the President promised to write the
letter that had been requested. Of course, it should be kept in mind that
neither the President nor I-Irs. ROOSEVELT suspected GILDERS of being an

him avoid any conceivable suspicion. My best recollection is that he was

that he may only have been a minister student; but it is my best recollection

' which is based on the ultimate overthrow and destruction of the lmerican ' i
Government with the aid of the Red Army and the world power of the Soviet

for the top leadership of the Ccssm:.nist Party of the USA and irformation for

that all information that is significant at all obtained by the Party is _ H

"In order to understand the relationship of the Communist

since 1928, headed the special department for work among scientists _pr:'i.marilY ' A

that I gathered while working with RICHARD COMES on the California State
cdcriittee on Un-American Activities in L950 showed, as stated by the Committee,
that scores of Com-nunizts were employed in various capacities for work on
the atomic bomb. From my knowledge of Cormnunist techniques, I an confident
that not one in six of those Communists engaged in specific acts of theft
of confidential data and transmission of this data; however, by acting in a
unified manner to help the Communist apparatus, they were all serving dixgctly
or indirectly the interests of espionage. And I can have little doubt that
practically all of them realized this. With such an apparatus to work from,
the real espionage agents can pick the people they need who may be in a
position to get the information required.

CROUCH concluded his statement as follows:
"I would like to point out that due to the many years that
have passed -- more than 12 years in all eases, and in some cases going back
alnost 20 years - I cannot, for the most part, recall exact language used
or infonnation mentioned when it was of a detailed character, but when I
heard such references made over a period of time regarding various bits of
information acquired and passed on to the apparatus headed by J. PETERS,
that ow knowledge and recollection is absolutely positive that the individuals
mentioned were all gathering information using their ability to contact the
White House and people high in the government and pass on information they
regarded as important to the Soviet Goverrment. Most oi this information,
as I have pointed out, was of personnel and policy level but correct infor-
mation on that was absolutely essential for the Communist movement and the
Soviet Government. "C c ' ' J " ', . ,1 -

to the security of the United States. The President Ins oi the opinion that -
the Soviet Union was using foreign Comunist Parties for national purposes
in order to safeguard the Soviet Union. The President believed the Soviet
Union desired its foreign Communist Parties to urge friendships and alliances
. which would strengthen the position of the Soviet Unionin its_,_de'lJ.1nge-_i_ith I _,

According to CROUCH, the above views oi the President tore ' -
those at which the Communist Party had sought to have him arrive. CROUCH
then went on to elaborate on the objectives of the Conmunist Party with
respect to its contacts at the White House. The Party was interested in
finding out what the President and_his advisers felt with regard to policy. - - ., e
matters favorable to the interests of the Soviet Union. In addition,
Communist Party sougxt to influence policy attitudes on the part of the_"P_a.rty
White i-Touse contacts so that they would be favorable toward the 5oviet_"Union. _
This influence was exerted through casual contacts made at White House dinners '
and other similar social functions.
CROUCII continued noting that the Communist Party was especially
concerned with Soviet collective security interests and was desirous of the
consummation oi an American-Russian alliance aginst Gennany at the time. g ,
In addition, the Party was vitally concerned with preventing aid to the-:,_ ;_. .,Nationalist Government of China in order to assist the Chinese Communietsin ' _'_,L
their military gains. The Partylwas desirous of seeing the Qhinese Comzunists _--._u -.take over the country without creating an impression in the minds oi the "
President and White House advisers that world conquest might be the objective
oi the Communists. "
' During the period to which CROUC}-1'8 information relates, he
added ELIGEh"-ii-BBHMS, who was Legislative Secretary of the C_grg_nm_1i5t_P8I'ty

those whom CROUCH has described as securing information from the White House.
CROUCH noted in discussing instant matter that the subject oi influencing
policy at the White House and oi securing information were closely inter-
locking activities.
A Communist Party member, while at a social a11'air at the
-mite House, might endeavor to influence the attitude of the President or

they found easy to manipulate in bringing around to their way of thinking.
They considered Mrs. RO=fJSE1VELT much easier to convince than President ROOSEVELT,
and made remarks indicating that she had fallen for various ideas the CP was
attempting to put over but they were not sure of the reaction of _President_ROOSEVELT to the same matters. . - . _ e t _' -:-~=_.;_*;,'_._ . _ _ ' .. - - n_ , . .- _, ., t. ._ . . _ ,_- 92 _ _ . . t . t - - -,1 I '' ' -.,",» t. - ¢ _ -4-I '.

the Communist movement and valuable for formulation of Soviet policy. CROUCH
pointed out that the attitude of the President and his advisers on matters
of interest to the Communist Party and Soviet Union necessarily was considered
by the Communist Party and Soviet Union in establishing policy.
CROUCH, in his statement of April Eth, also stated, "During
the months I spent with C.-]1.::I:lE'.'i L. PA_P.I92.S on the island belonging to him near
Port Royal, S. 0., he discussed in far more minute detail than any of the
others the'matter of gathering and evaluating information obtained from
friends in the White House and in other high Government levels in Tiashington
and the importance of this to the Soviet Cmverment in detennining the strateg
to be followed." CROUCH, in explaining what he meant by the terms "friends,"
explained that these individuals were personal friends of PARKS and others
for whom he professed friendship with a view toward using them in some manner
advantageous for the Communist Party or Soviet Union. CROUCH expl'ainedefurth_er-f - u
that these individuals might, be considered those with than PARKS had direct '1;-ff.
access in the White House." They would have included both Hr. and llrs. - _, .-
ROOSEVELT and others who had business at the Ihite House. ' ' ".' F -*7 "-' - *»-F"

at which LASH was present. The purpose of the conference was to dete'1-mine
new methods by which the publicatio1Tl'oung Worker, issued by the Young

of intelligence value. PATTERSON said he was convinced, however, that the
Communist Party, in line with its basic policies, was interested in develop-
ing sources in such vital government offices, as the White House.

recalled JOHN P. DAVIS, a Negro attorney, as having been a rather prominent
Communist Party member in Washington and possibly New York, at least until
1937 when PATTEPSON left the Communist Party. The source stated that he also
remembered TLARCEL SCHERER as a Comnunist Party member who had had som '
connections with the Communist periodical "New Masses" during the early 1930's.

indicate either DA-HS or SCHERER had any contacts with the White House.
