ReBu1et to NY dated July 25, 1962,
Relet requested analysis of subject's rises to
determine whether possible violation of passport sanctionp;gv%sions of Internal Security Act of 1950 by either subject,
e s s. _
The Department has advised in previous correspondence
relating to passport sanctions, that in order to establish
a violation under Section 6 a! ! or ! of this act, "it
would be essential for the Government to prove communist
Party membership during the approximate period of the
particular act involved, that is, the act of making ap-
plication for a passport or the renewal of a passport or '
the act of using or attempting to use the passport".
PAUL ROBESON and his wife, ESLANDA, have been in
Europe and on concert tours abroad since approximately July,/Q
1950. There is no information in the subjectis files which 6
indicates any present membership or continuation of pnst
membership in the OP. Information in the file reflects
that the CP of Great Britain had decided when the RDBESONS
arrived there, that they should avoid becoming involved in
any open GP activity and that they would not be asked to do
anything on behalf of the Communist organization nor would
they arrange any Party sponsored events for them.
