Dear Sire, '
"A notice in this morning' paper states that Canada
refused entrance to PAUL ROBESON. Isn't it time that the United
States wakes up to the fact that in joining the Communist Party
and working for the overthrow of our Government, ROBESON
forfeited his citizenship? Why is he not deported to Russia?!!!
' Russia in 1936 he toldghe hagone there to s ay, at e was a communist and that he on y
disgust for the United Statesll i 4
"Isn't it more sensible to send such traitors out of the
country than to let them stay here and destroy us from the inside??
we got CHARLIE CHAPLIN out, now let us get ROBESON anq_BRIDGES
out before they do more damagell.

"Contempt of congress proceedings were begun
against Paul Robeson today as the upshot of e
shouting, table-thumping and gavel-banging
hearing at the Capitol......Mr. Robeson hroug
a stormy morning session to a sudden close by
raising his resonant bass voice to shouting
pitch and asserting, You are the non-patriots
and you are the un-Americans and you ought to
be ashamed of yourselves. Before the final
blow-up, Mr. Robeson angrily denounced the
committee, Senator Eastland and others in
response to questions about his activities and
his travels to Soviet RussiaJ'.
The New York "Daily Mirror" issue of June 1%,
1956, contained an article entitled House Group Cites
Robeson. This article related the citing of PAUL ROBESON
by the House Committee on Un~American Activities for

Though the singer invoked the Fifth Amendment
when queried about Red affiliations, he shouted
his contempt for the comittee time and again."
