The State Department has today requested investigation
of Shriver whose nomination as United States Ambassador to
France was sent to the Senate by the President on 3/25/68.
Shriver, aged 52, is married to the former Eunice Mary
Kennedy, sister of Senators Robert and Ted Kennedy and the latex
President. He was appointed the first Director of the Peace Corps
by President Kennedy in 1961 and has been Director of the
Office of Economic Opportunity since 1964. He is also a Special
Assistant to the President. Prior to entering the Government in
1961,Shriver was Assistant General Manager of the Merchandise Mart
a Kennedy enterprise in Chicago.9
A quick check of main files only indicate that this
is the first request for investigation we have ever had Z.
concerning Shriver even though he has held high and responsible
Government positions since 1961.
ACTION:
! The case has been ordered separately to the field
- and the field has been instructed to assign case to experienced
Agents and to conduct no neighborhood investigations without
Bureau approval.

He prepares for the oparation as if he were preparing for battle,
taking all factors into consideration both subjective and
objective. Hera JOAN points out is where he really learns
from Chairman MAO and it is by using Chairman MAO's methods
that [:::::]has been able to be extremely successful in his
work.
PH T-5 added that in the discussion of the value
of MAO Tsetung's thought, JOAN has pointed out that
the Chinese ping pong champions realize the value of studying
MAO's works, particularly in learning how to forget self and
play for the sake of the revolution. JOAN believes that
the study of Chairman MAO's thought is something antirely
different from a cult of any individual. It is the study in
daily practise of how to go about correctly solving any and
all problems that come before them.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
The "Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications", revised and
published as of December 1, 1961, by the Committee on UnAmerican Activities, _
U. S. House of Representatives, documents the Progressive Party as follows:
"The Progressive Party, including its California branch,
certainly ranks as one of the largest and most successful fronts
ever created by the Communists."
Committee on UngAmerican Activities, Annual Report for
1956, House Report 53, February ll, 1957, p.'3h!
"Communist dissimulation extends into the field of political
parties forming political front organizations, such as the Pro-
gressive Party. * * * The Comunists are thus enabled to present
their candidates for elective office under other than a straight
Communist label."
Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary
Comittee, Handbook for Americans, S. Doc. 117, April 23,
1956, p. 91!
On December 15, 1954| |who, while cooper-
ating with the FBI, was a member of the Communist Party, Eastern Pennsylvania and
Delaware for| advised that the founding convention of the
Progressive Party of Pennsylvania was held on March 7, l9h8, at York, Pa. [::::::] ebé
advised that the Communist Party aided in organizing delegations to this convention §b7c
in an effort to secure as much support as possible for the convention. [::::::] b7Dadvised that[%:::::§:::::]an officer of the Comunist Party, Eastern Pennsylvania
and Delaware CPEPD,, spoke at a CP meeting held in Philadelphia on August 7, l9A9, ~
and stated that during the 1948 election it was the GP who built the Progressive
Party and carried on Pro ressive Party work, even though it involved failure tocarry out CP work. [::::fstated that the CP must continue to build the Progressive
Party as a part of creating a united front. [::::::]stated that during the 1950-51
and 1952 elections, the CPEPD continued to support the Progressive Party. Follow»
ing the 1952 elections, some criticism was voiced of the Progressive Party by
officials of the CPEPD, but as of early 195A, the Progressive Party was the main
concentration for the CP in the 195A election.
On January 3, 1955, a source advised that the leadership of the CPEPD
felt the Progressive Party should continue to function and as of January, 1955, the
CP was assigning members to be responsible for Progressive Party work.
