Through these struggles we feel the American peoplewill realize the visbility'of the socialist alternatives.

coexistence, complete disarmament and true freedom for all peoples
of the world, and that these solutions will be reached mainly
through the united efforts of all democratic elemente in our g
country, composed essentially of the working people allied in the
unity of Negroes ind other minorities with whites. We further "
fully recognize that the greatest threat to American democracy
comes from the racist and right wing forces in coalition with the
most reactionary sect;cLe of an» ciaronic power structure, using
the tool of anti-communism to divide and destroy the unified
struggle of the Wnrking PQ$p1F_ is young people in the forces

the operation of this organization. ' a V _ _

INDEPENDENT SOCIALIST LEAGUE,
Formerly Workers Part1__ p
The lay 4, 1942, issue oi "Labor Action," then an
oiiicial publication of the Workers Party WP!, carried an
article which reflected that the IP was formed in April, I940
as a result or a split within the leadership oi the Socialist
Iorkers Party SWP!. The article stated that when the '
Hitler-Stalin Pact was signed and Poland invaded, the
minority group within the SIP, in proclaiming the formation
oi the WP, condemned the pact as being imperialistic in
nature and stated it would not support either imperialist camp.
- The April 25, 1949, issue oi "Labor Action" contained
.an account of the Fifth National Convention of the WP, held
larch 24-27, 1949, in New York City, which reflected the 7
change of name of the organization from the WP to the
Independent Socialist League ISL! in order to emphasize the,
character oi the group as a popaganda group for the spreading
oi socialist ideas and not as'a_iull-fledged political party.
' I
The July 14, 1958, issue oi Labor Action , an
oiiicial publication of the ISL, contained an article -
captioned "The ISL Program in Brief." The article indicated:
The ISL stands for socialist democracy and against the two -
systems of exploitation which now divide the world: Capitalism
and Stalinism. The ISL, as a Marxist movement, looks to the_ ,
working class and its ever-present struggle as the basic1~;¢¢-#*=
progressive force in society. The ISL is organized to spread -
the ideas of'socialism in the labor movement and among all
other sections oi the people. There can he no lasting and
genuine democracy without socialism and there can be no I
socialism without democracy."
The September 22, 1958, issue of "Labor Action"
contained an undated statement signed by the Political Committee
oi the ISL which indicated that the ISB-has been dissolved.
The statement urged former ISL members to Join the Socialist .1
Party-Social Democratic Federation SP~SDF!. -
A source advised on October 10,1958, that the Chicago
Branch oi the ISL, which was an affiliate oi the national
organization, was dissolved in September, 1958, and all - . s
active members Joined the SP-SDF on October 9, 1958. _-.

AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE ASSOCIATION,
Formerly known as Afro-American

A source advised on May 11, 1964, that the African
American Heritage Association {aasaa with headquarters at 305 E
43rd Street, Chicago, Illinois, was knonn as the Afro-American
Heritage Association until February, 1961. It was founded by
ISHMAEL FLORY around 1958 and incorporated in the State of Illinois
as a non-profit organization. It was founded ostensibly for the
purpose of teaching African history and culture to American Negroes.
AAHA is strongly influenced by the Communist Party CP! of Illinois.
It is represented by both communist and non-communist members, and
some people with strong nationalistic tendencies. This organization
I reflects CP policy on some issues and opposes CP policy on others;
for example, the CP rejects the concept of Afro-American as a
reference term to the American Negro and rejects aspects of nation-
alism, both of which are reflected in the AAHA program.

INDEPENDENT soc IALIST LEAGUE,
formerly Workers Party i i .
The May 4, 1942, issue of "Labor Action," then an
official publication of the Workers Party WP!, carried an
article which reflected that the WP was formed in April, 1940,
as a result of a split within the leadership of the Socialist
Ibrkers Party SWP!. The article stated that when the Hitler-
Stalin Pact was signed and Poland invaded, the minority group '
within the SWP, in proclaiming the formation of the WP, con-
demned the pact as being imperialistic in nature and stated
it would not support either imperialist camp.
_ The April 25, 1949, issue of "Labor Action" contained
an account of the Fifth National Convention of the WP, held
larch 24-27, 1949, in New York City, which reflected the
change or name oi the organization tron the HP to the Independent
Socialist League ISL! in order to emphasize the character of
the group as a propaganda group for the spreading of_socia1ist
ideas and not as a full-fledged political party.
' The"Ju1y 14,-1958, issue of "Labor Action," an
otiicial publication of the ISL, contained an article captioned
The ISL Program in Brief." The article indicated: "The ISL
stands for socialist democracy and against the two systems of
Qihlitti which nnw iwidn fh wnv1- n ni+ Iiem and .+n1iniem---_-_'-'_v- -1-.-.__--.-. -.-wu Q.-ya-92n92.¢ use II92-rL492|l. span-*1:-92p?,.:92.a-.92.::na an-an sDIbLJul@dnhiIlBQ
The ISL, as a Marxist movement, looks to the working class and
its ever-present struggle as the basic progressive in the labor
movement and among all other sections of the people.- There can"
be no lasting and genuine democracy without socialism and there
can be no socialism without democracy."
The September 22, 1958, issue of "Labor Action" con-
tained an undated statement signed by the Political Committee
oi the ISL which indicated that the ISL had been dissolved.
The statement urged former ISL members to join the Socialist I
Party-Social Democratic Federation SP-SDF!. _

A source'has advised that on October 26-27, 1963, a
conference of members of the Communist Party CP!, including
national functionaries, met in Chicago,lllinois, for the purpose
of setting in motion forces for the establishment of a new
national Marxist oriented youth organization which would hunt
for the most peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates to_
this meeting were cautioned against the germ of anti-Soviet and
anti-CP ideologies. TheseA-.1...-o-4».._ -¢.___... -I.-__ 4-..l-I -I-1.-..L J.» -.-.....-1-1UCLUEGMUB WCLU GLBU I-IJLK-l bun» J-In WUUJ-U
be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted into
this new organization would eventually pass into the CP itself.
A second conference of over 20 persons mot in Chicago
on December 28-29, 1963, for the purpose of initiating a "call
to the new youth organization and planning for a founding con-
vention to be held in June 1964.
A second source has advised that the founding convention
for the new youth organization was held from June 19-21, 1964,
at 154 Golden_Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, at which
time the name W.E.B. Du Bois Clubs of America was adopted. Approxi-
mately 509 delegates iron throughout the United States attended
this convention. The aims of this organization, as set forth in
the preamble to the constituion, are, "It is our belief that this
nation can best solve its problems in an atmosphere of peaceful
coexistence, complete disarmament and true freedom for all peoples
of the world, and that these solutions will be reached mainly
through the united efforts of all democratic e1ement§ in our
country, composed essentially of the working people allied in the
unity of Negroes and other minorities with whites. We further -
fully recognize that the greatest threat to American democracy
comes from the racist and right wing forces in coalition with the
most reactionary sections of the economic power structure, using
the tool of anti~communism to divide and destroy the unified
struggle of the working people. As oung people in the forces
struggling for democracy, we shall actively strive to defeat
these reactionary and neo-fascist elements and to achieve com-
plete freedom and democracy for all Americans. thus enabling '

A source has advised that on October 26-27, 1963, a
conference of members of the Communist Party CP!, including
national functionaries, met in Chicago,Il1inois, for the purpose
of setting in motion forces for the establishment of a new
national Marxist oriented youth organization which would hunt
for the most peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates to
this meeting were cautioned against the germ of anti-Soviet and
anti-CP ideologies. These delegates were also told that it would
be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted into
this new organization would eventually pass into the CP itself.
. A second conference of over 20 persons met in Chicago
on December 28-29, 1963, for the purpose of initiating a "callz
to the new youth organization and planning for a founding con-
vention to be held in June 1964. _
. a A second source has advised that the founding convention
for the new youth organization was held from June l9-21, 1964,
at 154 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, at which
time the name W.E.B. Du Bois Clubs of America was adopted. Approxi-
mately 500 delegates from throughout the United States attended
this convention. The aims of this organization, as set forth in
the preamble to the constituion, are, "It is our belief that this
nation can best solve its problems in an atmosphere of peaceful
coexistence, complete disarmament and true freedom for all peoples
of the world, and that these solutions will be reached mainly
through the united efforts of all democratic elements in our
country, composed essentially of the working people allied in the
unity of Negroes and other minorities with whites. We further
fully recognize that the greatest threat to American democracy
comes from the racist and right wing forces in coalition with the
most reactionary sections of the economic power structure, using
the tool of anti-communism to divide and destroy the unified
struggle of the working people. As young people in the forces
struggling for democracy, we shall actively strive to defeat
these reactionary and neo-fascist elements and to achieve com-
plete freedom and democracy for all Americans, thus enabling
each_individual to freely choose and build the society he would
wish to live in. Through these struggles we feel the American
people will realize the viability of the socialist alternatives."

The Hay 4, 1942, issue of "Labor Action," then an
official publication or the Workers Party MP!, carried an
article which reflected that the WP was formed in April, 1940,
as a result of a split within the leadership of the Socialist
Iorkers Party SWP!. The article stated that when the Hitler-
Btalin Pact was signed and Poland invaded, the minority group
within the SWP, in proclaiming the formation of the WP, _
condemned the pact as being imperialistic in nature and
stated it would not support either imperialist camp.
. The'Apr-l 25, 1949, issue of "Labor action" contained
an account of the Fifth National Convention of the WP, held
larch 24-27, 1949, in New York City, which reflected the change
of name of the organizaten from the WP to the Independent
Socialist league ISL!i order to emphasize the character of
the group as a propaganda group for the spreading of socialist
ideas and not as a full-fledged political party.
The July 14, 1958, issue of "Labor Action," an '
official publication of the ISL, contained an article captioned
"The ISL Program in Brief." The article indicated: ?The ISL
stands for socialist democracy and against the two systems of '
exploitation which now divide the world: capitalism and
Btalinism. The ISL, as a Handst movement, looks to the working
class and its ever-present struggle as the basic progressive

A source advised on July 2, l962that Progressive Labor groups held s
conference in New York City on July l, 1962, where Milton Rosen acted as chairman.
He read a statement at this conference setting forth their intention to fem -1 new
iiarxist-Leninist party in the United States. Rosen stated that a more fonnal orga-
nization was necessary, one which would provide a framework for all who wanted to
join in a united effort to build an American vanguard. The forces oi this new
organization are to consolidate all existing forces around Progressive Labor and
organize additional forces, expand and improve political activities, win additional
forces to an outlook of Marxism-Leninism and increase the open advocacy of socialism,
develop a significant 3-{and-St-Leninist program for the new party, and organize a
collective organization of leaders and members. '
"The Horker", an East Coast Coin-unist newspaper, issue of
1962, page 10, column 3, reported the expulsion of Milton Rosen, forme Secre-
tary of the New York State Communist Party, United States of America.
' - A second and third source advised in February, 1963 that this new
Marxist-Leninist party had not yet been organized on a formal basis, but that
Progressive Laborgroups had been formed in several localities in line with the
proposals of-Hilton Roeen. The sources advised as of February, 1963, that the
leaders of this group were referring to it as the Progressive Labor Movement.
A fourth source advised on March l5, 1961; that the Progressive Labor
Hovement follows, supports and is politically orientated toward the Communist Party
line of Red China rather than that of the Soviet Union.
. C
A rm-.11 source advised- that at a. Progressive Labor
Movement meeting held in New York City it was announced that the
Progressive Labor Movement would try to hold a national convention in New York City
in September, 1961+, to organize the Progressive Labor Movement on a more formal
basis into a Progressive Lat-or Party.
The fifth source also advised that the Progressive Labor Movement pub-
lishes a monthly magazine called "Progressive labor" and also a q'.:s_:'terl}' thee-rod. ical
publication called the "Marxist-Leninist Quarterly." The source also advised that
"starting June 1, 1961;, the Progressive Labor Ho-sement -mild start publishing a weekly
newspaper in New Iork City. . " '

Senator Wayne Morse; Dr. Benjamin Spock, noted pediatrician
and Co-Chairman of the National Comittee for a SaneNuclear
Policy; and Joan Baez, a folk singer.
Senator Morse was critical of the record of the Central
Intelligence Agency CIA!, the White House and the Departments of
Defense and State on Viet Nam. He stated that foreign policy
should be left to the people. He said that the United States
had not brought peace to South Viet Namonor had halted the
advance of Communism there, but by its_tactics, it was driving
Asians by the millions into the arms of Comunism. 1
He advocated that the United States seek an international I
police force, throu h the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization or 4the United Nations %UN! or with an African-Asian peace force Ias suggested by Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri of India. 4
Professor Morgenthau asserted that the United States '
could no more contain Communism in Asia by arming South Viet
Nam and Thailand than Communist China could contain United
States power in North America by arming Nicaragua and Costa
Rica.
He suggested a program for stopping the conflict,
that included a proposal for recognition of the political and
cultura1_predominance of Communist China qn the Asian mainland.

is an organization with headquarters in
New York, whose avowed purpose is to
abolish the House Committee on Uh-American

p The committee finds that the Emergency
Civil Liberties Committee, established
in 1951, although representing itself
as a non-Communist group, actually
operates as a front for the Communist
~ Party. It has repeatedly assisted, by
means of funds and legal aid, Communists
involved in Smith Act violations and
snmliar legal proceedings. One of its
chief activities has been and still is
the dissemination of voluminous Communist
propaganda material.P
'FRAKK HILKIUSON was called as a witness
when he appeared in Atlanta as a represent-
ative of the Emergency Civil Liberties
Committee to propagandize against the
Committee on Un-American Activities and
to protest its hearings. In 1955, UZLHIISCH
was identified as'a Communist Party member
by a former FBI undercover agent within the
party. Summoned at that time to answer
the allegation, his reply to all questions
