[276]Women's Bail Fund
[278]Unless otherwise stated, all sources in
[279]this memorandum have furnished reliable
[280]information in the past.
[282]On March 30, 1971, @ fist confidential source
[283]furnished literature, concerning the Women's Bail Fund, which
[284]was picked up at the Upper Westside Womens Center, 627
[285]Amsterdam Avenue, New York, New York (NY) on March 27, 1971.
[286]The literature captioned, "Women's Bail Fund" argued that the
[287]Women's House of Detention, in New York City (NYC), should
[289]not exist and that "the Women's House of Detention, along with the
[291]prisons and jails across the country, is a weapon used by the
[292]power structure here in America to oppress and exploit the people
[293]of poor communities,” It further relates that "Women have come
[294]together in New York from many different organizations to form a
[295]Women's Bail Fund for all the sisters inside the House of
[296]Deention. The Bail Fund is also working to prepare simple
[297]pamphlets on law because of the total lack of any legal
[298]resources in the House of Detention and secure legal assistance
[299]where needed," The address is listed as the Women's Bail Fund,
[300]P.O. Box 637, Cooper Station, NY, NY 10003.
[302]On August 26, 1971, the first source furnished
[303]literature on the Women's Bail Fund which stated, "The Women's
[304]Bail Fund is a coalition of Third World and white women who are:
[306]" ....raising bail to release women prisoners from
[307]Rikers Island,
[309]" ,.establishing communication with women inside.
[311]".,..assisting women who are bailed out in meeting
[312]their needs,
[314]This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions
[315]of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). It is the
[316]property of the FBI and is loaned to your agency; it and its
[318]contents are not to be distriputed outside-youmagen Ye,

[332]"...providing legal information for prisoners,
[334]",...emaking public the torture these women undergo.
[335]" ...-supporting prison struggles everywhere."
[337]On April 12, 1971, & second confidential source
[338]made available a flyer on the Women's Bail Fund which was
[339]distributed at the National Womens March on the Pentagon on
[340]April 10, 1971. The flyer, captioned, "Victory to the NLF and All
[341]Oppressed Peoples" states "Women in Vietnam and in the United
[342]States are fighting for the right to live: for the very right
[343]to exist.....the U.S, is now dotted with concentration camps for
[344]the poor and non-white: the jails.....But imprisonment doesnt!
[345]break the spirit of the sisters in jail. They resist! When denied
[346]their dignity, they organize and fight back. When one sister is
[347]beaten they organiz and resist. In the coldest part of winter
[348]when the boilers had broken down, the women worked in freezing
[349]temperatures in cold water to do the laundry-not 'because the
[350]pigs made us do it - but for our ‘own beautiful sisters.’ .....We
[351]Vietnamese, Black, Latin, White and Asian-american women are
[352]united in our struggle - we share common goals and face a common
[353]enemy. We express our complete solidarity with the NLF and shall
[354]work to bring the victory there."
[356]On May 14, 1971, Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal
[357]Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a demonstration in front
[358]of the NYC Women's House of Detention sponsored by the Woments
[359]Ball Fund and Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF). The
[360]demonstrators chanted slogans calling for release of their
[361]"sisters" from jail and expressed opposition to a proposed move
[362]of the inmates of the Women's House of Detention from its
[363]downtown site to the Rikers Island Prison Facility. The
[364]demonstrators called this proposed move an attempt to isolate
[365]the "sisters from their supporters."
[367]By means of a loudspeaker, the demonstrators called to
[368]several inmates of the House of Detention who appeared in the
[369]upper storey windows, obtained their names and place of arrest,
[370]This information allegedly was to be used to obtain bail for the
[371]prisoners in question. Thereafter, several speakers denounced
[372]the jails as concentration camps and called for the release of the
[373]"nolitical prisoners,"in the House of Detention. Among the
[374]speakers was Shirley/Taylor of the Women's Bail Fund and a
[375]former inmate of thé Women's House of Detention.

[426]for inmates and their families. The coordinator for the Bail
[427]Fund was identified as Pam Engle, telephone number 989-6717.
[429]on July 26, 1971, SAS of the FBI observed a picket-

[431]protesting the existence of all jails. Among the groups
[432]represented was the Women's Bail Fund,

[799]Women’s Bail Fund
[802]A first confidential source advised that Beverly Sterner,
[803]Channel 13 News, 304 West 58th Street,. New York, New York,
[805]is affiliated with the Women's Bail Fund (WBF).
[807]An article appeared in the March, 1972 issue of
[808]the “Liberated Guardian", captioned "Women's Bail Fund;
[809]Organizing Our Anger", written by five unidentified members
[810]of the Women's Bail Fund Collective.
[812]The article relates "The Women's Bail Fund is a
[813]group of about 35 women in New York City that bails women
[814]out of jail (150 so far). They have been organized for over
[815]a year and a half and did their first bailout on December 20,
[816]1970. They have been active in supporting other groups
[817]involved in the prison struggle. They do legal follow-up
[818]for bailed-out sisters who want it and have been talking
[819]with people about the prison struggle, why jails exist, who
[820]the real enemies are, etcetera."
[822]The article is introduced by the following
[823]statement:
[825]"For this article we wanted to talk about ourselves.
[826]So five of us volunteered to collect different thoughts from
[827]as many women as possible in our group and then pooled these
[828]reflections in this article, using the words from their raps."
[830]The article, being reflections of the various
[831]members of the group, is a series of quotes by unidentified
[832]members concerning the WBF.

[862]Women's Bail Fund
[864]The following are reflections of some WBF
[865]members carried under the subcaption "Our Roots - Why
[866]We Started - Why We Joined",
[868]"There was a woman in my consciousness-raising
[869]group who was in the bail fund when it was first getting
[870]started and she talked with others about it. To some of
[871]us it was a very exciting idea, To others it was
[872]frightening ~ connecting to political activity as women.
[873]Ultimately it ended in a split of my small group on
[874]whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness
[875]to any sort of feminist political action or not.
[877]"In the past, I was politically frustrated because
[878]I was only involved in one-shot actions. I saw what was
[879]happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress
[880]black people and that resulted inalot of pain for me. I
[881]felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle.
[882]I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware
[883]of that need.
[885]“When sisters want us to, we go to court with them,
[886]When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my
[887]head, I make judgements like this jude is better than another
[888]one, but it's all shit. All judges are pigs. Or like
[889]feeling good that a sister got six months instead of five
[890]years when she shouldn't have gotten anything at all.
[892]"I was in the House of Detention when there was the
[893]bail fund demonstration on December 20, 1970. The whole
[894]tier was so excited. When someone saw the first people she
[895]let out a scream and everyone rushed to the windows. As
[896]the chanting increased outside we started to sing and chant.
[897]They locked us in our cells so each person would be isolated
[898]and intimidated about chanting. But all the women kept it
[899]up. Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration
[900]was different than other demonstrations. There had been more
[901]contact, The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman
[902]that they had known inside outside in the demonstration.
[903]That was real important,
[905]"A lot of it was the bail fund. The bail fund
[906]banner with the address made it real that people were serious
[907]about supporting people inside. It wasn't going to be a
[908]one~shot deal,

[921]Women’s Bail Fund
[922]The following are reflections carried under.the
[923]sub-caption "Questions We Are Facing Right Now".
[925]"There's a real dialectic between reform md
[926]revolution. So much of what we do is short-term support
[927]stuff that can be seen as reformist. When prisoners raise
[928]these demands it's understood to be revolutionary; when
[929]people on the outside raise them, they are felt to be
[930]reformist. I have done a whole lot of courtroom work,
[931]both in the bail fund and before too. In fact, the whole
[932]social work thing is what I come out of, which is why it
[933]is so hard for me to deal with all this (‘cause I obviously
[934]reflect a lot of that work). Social work when it started
[935]back in the late 1800's and early 1900's came out of real
[936]radical cireles, the radicals and feminists and such. And
[937]when you read MAO, he talks about service to the people
[938]as a revolutionary thing. But for us it feels weird
[939]because it has been co-opted. I think that the movement
[940]now, trying to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that
[941]original sense of service to the people, trying to help
[942]people survive.
[944]"One of the ways to really keep ourselves
[945]out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in
[946]more political education among ourselves and to ask other
[947]groups how they've dealt with this question. Also we
[948]should be more involved in educating other people.
[950]"We should be doing more for women inside. We
[951]need to really work on facilitating communications
[952]between the sisters inside the jail. Women prisoners
[953]have been slower to get organized but I'm sure this is
[954]because there is so much isolation in the women's jail.
[955]Concretely, we need to write more letters to find out what
[956]is going on, send literature, but also tell the women. about
[957]each other, about what other women are thinking and feeling.
[958]This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the
[959]sense of solidarity. ;
[961]. "I think much of the movement is guilty of
[962]ultra-leftism., In China the Communists worked on a lot
[963]of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately
[964]wanted. We're too afraid of being contaminated by being
[965]involved in reform movements. We too often define our
[966]enemies too broadly and our allies too narrowly.

[980]Women's Bail Fund
[982]"I've been real impressed with what women in the
[983]group are willing to commit themselves to do and that they
[984]fulfill those commitments. And that atmosphere of res~
[985]ponsibility affects new members too. This is real
[986]important. It helps me through the rough times and all
[987]the ideological hassles and struggles we go through...
[989]You really have a sense that everyone really wants to work
[990]things through, search for solutions, wants to hold
[991]together because we feel responsible for the work. Even
[992]the way people ask for leaves of absence when they are
[993]sick or too busy, that they feel they want to explain
[995]why they have to stop doing work for a while, shows
[996]people's commitment and responsibility."
[998]._The "Liberated Guardian" was created in
[999]April, 1970, through active and violent
[1000]dissent against the politics and policies
[1002]of the "Guardian", Its major aims were
[1004]to produce a "more revolutionary" paper,
[1006]to operate collectively within it and to
[1007]maintain by design a loose political position.
[1009]The “Guardian” is self-described as an
[1010]"independent radical newsweekly" which
[1011]takes a strong left position but is not
[1012]identified with any organized group. It
[1013]is considered to be the largest radical
[1014]weekly in America.
[1016]A second confidential source advised an account
[1017]for the WBF was opened on July 6, 1971, for $3,500. The
[1018]account was closed ten days later on July 16, 1971. This
[1019]account was opened by Patricia:Reiner of 2451 Aldrich 7,
[1020]Avenue South, Minneapolis. Reiner, on August 30, 1971, ¢£
[1021]submitted a forwarding address of 855 South Cedar Lane,
[1022]Valparaiso, Indiana 46383. ~
[1024]A third confidential source advised the WBF’
[1025]set aside money for ConstanceXTrimble at the First National
[1026]Bank, Minneapolis, Minnesota. The source advised two accounts
[1027]were opened for the WBF on behalf of Trimble. One account
[1028]was a savings account in the amount of $2,000; the other
[1029]was a checking account in the amount of $2,800. “The

[1050]Constance Trimble was tried and found
[1051]not guilty on a charge of first degree
[1052]murder for making a telephone call
[1053]which lured a St. Paul, Minnesota
[1054]police officer to an ambush slaying
[1055]which occurred in 1970,
[1057]On April 5, 1972, and April 8, 1972, a fourth
[1058]confidential source advised Jennifer Dohrn and Judith
[1059]Clark were in contact with various members of the WBF
[1060]on these two days.
[1062]Judith Ann Clark is a member of the
[1063]Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) ~-
[1064]Weatherman faction and was underground
[1066]in 1970 prior to her arrest on December 17,
[1067]1970 by Special Agents (SAS) of the FBI
[1068]New York City, as a result of an outstanding
[1069]arrest wanted for unlawful flight to avoid
[1070]prosecution - mob action. Clark was
[1071]indicted by a Federal Grand Jury at
[1072]Chicago, Illinois in April, 1970, prior
[1074]to her arrest. She was sentenced to
[1076]three years, for which she spent nine
[1077]months in the Cook County Jail, Chicago,
[1078]Illinois, and was released in July, 1971,
[1079]to serve the remaining time on probation
[1080]in New York City.
[1082]Jennifer Ellen Dohrn is the sister of
[1083]FBI Top Ten Fugitive Bernadine Rae Dohrn.
[1084]Both sisters are alleged members of
[1086]the SDS - Weatherman faction.
[1088]SDS was founded during June, 1962, at
[1090]Port Huron, Michigan, and in the 1960's
[1091]functioned as the leading New Left campus-
[1092]based student organization in the United
[1093]States. From a stance of “participatory
[1094]democracy,'' the SDS moved to a radical-
[1095]revolutionary position. It maintained a
[1096]national office at 1608 West Madison Street,

[1109]Internal factionalism during 1969 produced
[1110]three main factions: Weatherman, Revolutionary
[1111]Youth Movement (RYM), and Worker Student

[1113]longer consider themselves associated with

[1119]On April 14, 1972, a fifth confidential source
[1120]advised that Judith Clark was in touch on April 3, 1972,
[1121]with a Beth Last Name Unknown (LNU), at 466 East 48th
[1122]Street, Brooklyn, New York, concerning the WBF.
[1124]The source advised that Clark, on November 5,
[1125]1972, was in touch with an unknown female and discussed
[1126]the Wednesday night meeting of the WBF. Clark discussed
[1127]the fact that Jeannie LNU, Estelle LNU and Laurie LNU
[1128]would be at the meeting at 5:30 PM, that evening at Clark's
[1129]residence. The source related that Sara LNU and Naomi LNU,
[1130]both from the Defense Bail Fund, were also expected at
[1131]the meeting. Clark discussed the fact that the WBF
[1132]has no common politics and no common political direction
[1133]at this point and the WBF could become a defense committee,
[1134]not because it would be desireable, but because of a lack
[1135]of any other direction.
[1137]The source\advised that_on the same day, Clark
[1139]was in touch with Lobenstine from the WBF at telephone
[1140]number 663-1136, an th agreed to attend an education

[1451]Re: Vincent Hallinan
[1453]Vincent Hallinan was candidate for President
[1454]of the United States on the Independent Progressive Party
[1455]ticket in 1952. This party was formed in California in 1948
[1456]and ceased to exist in 1964, when it failed to poll sufficient
[1457]votes to remain on a California ballot. The California
[1458]Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities in
[1459]its 1955 report on page forty-six, states in part that the
[1460]Independent Progressive Party in California was quickly
[1461]captured by the communists and soon was being operated lock,
[1462]stock and’ barrel by the Communist Party of California.
[1464]A source advised on April 20, 1966, that Vincent
[1465]Hallinan was the Treasurer for American Institue For Marxist
[1466]Studies (AIMS).
[1468]A characterization of AIMS
[1469]is contained in the appendix.
[1471]According to the source, it is the aim and
[1472]objective of Vivian Hallinan when she goes to Washington,
[1473]D.C., in conjunction with the kankin Brigade to get herself
[1474]arrested as she believes that nothing can be accomplished

[1562]Women must use their minds, their voices, and
[1563]their bodies to stop the killing in Vietnam; to do

[1574]Jeannette Rankin made the above statement in
[1575]May of this year. Fifty years ago, as the first
[1576]woman elected to Congress, she voted against
[1577]World War I. She has consistently maintained
[1578]her struggle for peace, and at 86 she is as coura-
[1579]geous and vigorous as ever--an inspiration to all
[1580]women, .
[1582]The presence of the United States forces in the int
[1584]‘ernal struggle of Vietnam is immoral and illegal.
[1585]There can be no possible justification for our inte
[1586]ference in the domestic affairs of this tiny distant
[1587]land,
[1589]This 86-year-old woman has stated that she is wil

[1594]with Miss Rankin, Every woman's participation i
[1595]equally valuable. We are confident each one will

[1598]On January 8th, women from all over the land wil
[1599]converge on Washington to demand the end of this

[3637]BRIGADE FORMED TO CONFRONT CONGRESS
[3639]Helena, Montana
[3640]November 27, 1967
[3642]To all American Women:
[3644]I am proud of the fact that my first
[3645]vote cast in Congress was a vote
[3646]against war. It was the first oppor-
[3647]unity for a woman to vote, because I
[3648]was the first woman to be elected to
[3649]Congress.
[3651]I believed then, as I do today,
[3652]that women are the ones that must be
[3653]concerned with the needs and develop-
[3654]ment of the human race. [I have always
[3655]fought for the dignity of all human
[3656]beings ~- for those of the present as
[3657]well as those of future generations.
[3659]I will continue to struggle as long
[3660]as IT live. I hope all women will res-
[3661]pond to the following call and join me
[3662]in Washington on January 8, 1968, the
[3663]opening day of Congress.
[3665]Jeannette Rankin
[3667]A CALL TO ALL AMERTCAN WOMEN who
[3668]are outraged by the ruthless slaughter
[3669]in Vietnam and the persistent neglect
[3670]of human needs at home TO COME TO
[3671]WASHINGTON ON JANUARY 8
[3673]AMERICAN WOMEN represent 51% of the
[3674]voting population of our country.
[3675]AMERICAN WOMEN have the power to a-~
[3676]chieve peace and a decent life for
[3677]every American. This is woman power!
[3679]4
[3681]Demonstrate it to the Congress of the
[3682]United States! Come to Washington on
[3683]January 8 as Congress opens in joint
[3684]session. Support Jeannette Rankin as
[3685]she leads a representative delegation
[3686]of American women to the Capitol to
[3687]demand that:
[3688]*Congress, as its first order
[3689]of business, resolve to end
[3690]the war in Vietnam and immedi-~
[3691]ately arrange for the with-
[3692]drawal of all American troops.
[3693]*Congress use its power to make
[3694]reparations for the ravaged land
[3695]we leave behind in Vietnam.
[3696]“Congress Listen to what the
[3697]American people are saying and
[3698]refuse the insatiable demands of
[3699]the military-industrial complex.
[3701]WOMEN OF AMERICA, our power is un-
[3702]limited. On January 8, American women
[3703]will:
[3705]*PETITION the United States Con-
[3706]gress - . .
[3707]*CONVENE a Congress of American
[3708]Women that afternoon to develop
[3709]programs to meet the crisis in
[3710]America - programs which will
[3711]express our political power,
[3712]reason and conscience.

[3904]INFORMATION CONCERNING (INTERNAL SECURITY)
[3906]The following information has been made avaLlable
[3907]by sources who have furnished reliable information in the
[3908]past: |
[3910]Source One reported on December 7, 1967, that copies
[3911]of "La Wisp", monthly newsletter of the Southern California
[3912]Council of the Women Strike for Peace (WSP - see appendix)
[3913]being mailed to the WSP mailing list on that date contained
[3914]a "Call" from the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB) "To all
[3915]American women", announcing a proposed march on Washington,
[3916]D. C.» on January 8, 1968, when the United States Congress
[3917]opens in joint session. This march would be to demand that
[3918]Congress, as its first order of business, resolve to end
[3919]the war in Vietnam and immediately arrange for the with-
[3920]drawal of all American troops. (A xerox duplication of the
[3921]first page of the above-mentioned December 1967 issue of
[3922]"Ta Wisp", containing this “Call", is appended to this
[3923]memorandum,
[3925]The partial list of JRB’ sponsors included in this
[3926]issue of the "La Wisp", contained the names of only two
[3927]women presently active in the Southern California area,
[3928]Mary Clarke (see characterization of her in the appendix
[3929]page on WSP), and motion picture actress Leslie Parrish.
[3931]Source One has advised that Parrisn has only
[3932]recently become interested in activities of WSP and has
[3933]attended less than five WSP activities. Source Two reported

[3955]a member in good standing with the Screen Actors Guild,
[3956]Hollywood, her dues being paid through May 1, 1968.
[3958]According to Source One, the Southern California
[3960]Couneil of WSP is presently coordinating local activity to
[3961]form a contingent of -the JRB from Southern Celifornia. They
[3963]| are making office space and telephones in their Los Angeles
[3965]headquarters, 5899 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles available
[3966]for this purpose. Spearheading the local committee are
[3968]\ Mary Clarke and Eva Korn, both of whom are active in WSP.
[3970]\ Mary Clarke is currently a member of the JRB's National Steer-

[3974]Eva Korn was a memper of the Los Angeles County
[3975]Communist Party (ASCCP) during the years 1046
[3976]and 1947.
[3978]To give publicity to the proposed activity of the
[3979]JRB, the local WSP office is circulating a reprint from the
[3980]"San Francisco Chronicle", issue of Saturday, May 20, 1967,
[3981]page nine, -which contained a feature article regarding the
[3982]opposition to wars by former Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin,

[4006]Rankin Brigade should be made up of only those women who
[4007]volunteer to participate with the prior understanding that
[4008]they should be ready to spend at least two months in jail
[4009]for the commission of civil disobedience while in Washington,
[4011]D.C, ;
[4012]NS
[4016]Sunderland also suggested that a good way to recruit
[4017]women to join the Brigade would b © make a pitch, for
[4018]recruits when Mary Clarke, Dagnanffiison and Ruth/Krause
[4019]are making their respective speakiyig engagements across the
[4020]United States since their return from a trip to North Vietnam,
[4021]which they visited as. representatives of WSP during the i.
[4022]fall of 1967. . —
[4024]Source Four advised during the summer of 1965
[4025]that June Sunderland, 3730 Hollister Avenue,
[4026]Santa Barbara, California, had attended a 1967
[4027]"peace conference" in Helsinki, Finland, at the
[4028]invitation of the Communist Party (CP), and that
[4029]funds to cover her expenses were raised in part
[4030]by the CP; and that following her attendance at
[4031]the Helsinki affair she went on to Russia for ten
[4032]days at the invitation and expense of the Soviet
[4033]Government, :
[4035]Source One learned that a communication was re-
[4036]eeived from eastern sponsors of the JRB on December 7, 1967,
[4037]indicating that the JRB march on Washington might not be
[4038]held on January 8, 1968, but possibly would be set back until
[4039]either the 15th or 22nd of January 1968, depending upon
[4040]the date that the United States Congress would reconvene.
[4041]The communication indicated thet since the entire purpose
[4042]of the Brigade would be to confront the opening joint session
[4043]of Congress that it would be futile to schedule the march
[4044]prior to the date Congress would reconvene, The suggestion
[4045]was made that recruitment of local women to participate in
[4046]the SRB be held in abeyance until a confirmation had been
[4047]obtained indicating the date on which Congress would reconvene.
[4049]7 Source One,had indicated that although the "Cail",
[4051]-as reproduced in "La Wisp", states, "There will be local
[4053].' actions across the country at the same time as the action

[4826]A source reported on May 17, 1962, a meeting of the
[4827]Ballard-Greenwood CP Club was held in Seattle, April 25, 1962, ..
[4828]at which TAIMI HALONEN was nominated to be the new Chairman of
[4829]this Club. Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN
[4830]said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP;
[4831]an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven.
[4832]members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but
[4833]did not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an
[4834]organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she
[4835]could help. . ‘
[4837]On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of
[4838]the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963.
[4839]KEN ROSE, a member of the Club, reported the most influential
[4840]peace organization in Seattle was SWAP. .
[4842]On July 31, 1964, a meeting of the North Central cP
[4843]Section Committee was held at Seattle. WILL PARRY, Section
[4844]Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political
[4845]questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he
[4846]said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign
[4847]into the election campaign. At another Section meeting,
[4848]February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective
[4849]peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace vo.
[4850]forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting.
[4851]SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue, _ .

[5368]A source advised that on October 26-27, 1953, a con-
[5369]ference of members of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), including
[5370]national functionaries, met in Chicage » Tllinois, for the purpose
[5371]of setting in motion forces for the establishment of anew national
[5372]Marxist -oriented youth organization which would Runt for the most
[5373]peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates were told that it
[5374]would be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted
[5375]into this new organization would eventually pass into the CP
[5377]itself.
[5379]A second source has advised that the founding convention
[5380]for the new youth organization was held from June .18-21, 1964

[5384]attended this convention.
[5386]The second source advised in September, 1966, that MIKE
[5387]ZAGARELL, CPUSA Youth Director, stated that in Negro communities
[5388]the Party still supported the plan to build "left" socialist
[5389]centers and to solidify the Party base through «ne DCA. This
[5390]scurce also advised in Sept oeber » 1966 that DAN SL RUBIN, CPUSA
[5391]National Organizational Secretary, stated the Party believes
[5392]the DCA should have a working-class outlook and be a mass organiz-
[5393]ation favorable to socialism, socialist countries: and Marxism,
[5394]and in April, 1967, advised GUS HALL, CPUSA General Sécretary,
[5395]had indicated the DCA primary emphasis should be on developing
[5396]mass resistance to the draft.
[5398]A third: source advised in September, 1967, that JARVIS
[5399]TYNER was elected chairman of the DCA on September "lo, 1967, at
[5400]the Third National Convention of the DCA held in New York, New
[5402]York, from September 8+10, 1967.
[5404]A fourth source advised during August, 1967, that JARVIS
[5405]TYNER is a member of the National Committee of the CPUSA,
[5407]‘A fifth source advised on ‘September 21, 1967, that the

[5475]The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
[5476]| general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
[5477]contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
[5478]f edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-
[5479]cern mounted over radioactive fallout from nuclear
[5480]testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
[5481]Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
[5482]out the country and now embraces 900 groups, including
[5483]Yomen For .Peace groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
[5485]These groups support programs to achieve goals stich as:
[5486](1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
[5487](2) <A strong and flexible United Nations.
[5489](3) Planning now at state and national levels for
[5490]conversion to peace-time economy and positive
[5491]efforts to ease world tensions.
[5493]The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
[5494]actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
[5495]the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
[5496]suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co-
[5497]ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
[5498]peace groups is encouraged. Monthly Coordinating Comnittee
[5499]meetings and general meetings, as warcanted, are open to
[5500]all and anneunced in mailings to memsers. There are no
[5501]dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.
[5503]To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Women For
[5504]Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
[5505]local schools and sponsor peace-oriented demonstrations
[5506]and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
[5507]eandicates for public office. On the national level
[5508]the grcup attempts to influence government officials

[6167]delphia. At this meeting, DANIEL RUBIN, the District Education Director,
[6168]presented a proposal for a series of forums under the nominal sponsorship of
[6169]the Philadelphia Social Science Forum Committee (PSSFC), The source stated
[6170]that PSSFC wes merely a paper organization and this series of forums was
[6171]organized by the District Education Commission and had to be- approved by the
[6172]District Committee (CPEPD) before being put into effect.

[6179]tive Committee (DEC), CPEPD, met on October 2, 1961, and approved plans to hold
[6180]and to support a new series of forums of PSSFC beginning November 10, 1961, and
[6181]ending in May, 1962. °

[6184]PSSFC is to bring to Philadelphia well known ‘speakers who -have a pro~Communist
[6185]point of views Included among the speakers each year are national leaders of
[6186]the Communist Party, USA.
[6188]The second source added on May 15, 1967 that the PSSFC continued 40

[6810]WITHOUT WOMEN
[6814]Women met use their minds, their voices, and
[6815]their bodies to step the killing in Vietnam; to do
[6816]less is tc ignore our special responsibilities to
[6817]the humen race.
[6819]"10,000 women have sat back and let theit sons
[6820]be killed in Vietnam. If we had 10,000 women will-
[6821]ing to go to jeil if necessary we could step the war
[6822]in Vietnam. You cannot have wats without rorén."
[6824]Jeannette Rankin made the above statement in
[6825]May of this year. Fifty years aco, as the first
[6826]woman elected to Congress, she voted agsinst Votld «+
[6827]Wer I. She has consisten vbly maintained her strug—
[6828]gle for peace, and et ‘86 she is as courageous and
[6829]vigorous as eveT -- an inspitation to all women.
[6831]The ptesence of the United States forces in
[6832]the internal sttuggle of Vietnam is immoral and
[6833]illegal. There can be no possible Justification
[6834]for our interference in the domestic ait faits of
[6835]this tiny distent lend. :
[6837]This 86-yeer-old woman has stated that she
[6838]is willing to stay in jail until the bombing is
[6839]stopped. Not all women ere Sree to join her, but
[6840]we can aecure her that thousande of women will
[6841]march peacefully beside her. Some will picket,
[6842]cthets will go to jail until bail is atranged,
[6843]and others will etay in jeil with Miss Renkin
[6844]Every woman's patticipation is ecually valuable.
[6845]Ve ate confident each one will do the maximum of
[6847]which she ie capable. 2

[7051]Dear Friend:
[7053]We are sending this letter to you and others from whom we have nob heard much
[7054]recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace
[7056]movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
[7057]and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,
[7059]Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all feel occasionally,
[7060]as we learn of the mounting horrors in Vietnam. But this feeling is only
[7061]temporary, and quickly gives way to activity. As women, we bear the major
[7062]responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility
[7064]in the peace movement,
[7066]mnclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
[7067]for peace, Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
[7068]to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
[7069]effort, to insure représentaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon
[7070]on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,
[7072]I »
[7074]In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration
[7075]in Portland at
[7077]NOON, Monday > JANUARY 15th
[7079]Pioneer Post Office
[7081]5th and Morrison
[7082]We are asking participants to wear black, and to bring a black
[7083](or dark colored) umbrella. We shall carry the umbrellas opened,
[7084]rain or shine, Placards (to wear) and leaflets (to distribute),
[7085]expressing support for the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, will be
[7086]available. We shall march around the Post Office block for one hour,
[7087]from noon to 1 Pele 5 leafleting as we walk,
[7089]We hope, if you cannot go to Washington, yourself, that you will contribute to
[7091]In addition, please let us hear from you on your ideas of what more we might
[7092]do locally, We have some ideas too, which we hope to share with you, and on
[7093]which we shall need much help,
[7095]Please get in touch with one of us soon, Your help, ideas, and efforts are
[7096]urgently needed,

[8197]Dear Friend:
[8199]We are sending this letter to you and olhers from whom we have not heard much
[8200]recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace ,
[8202]movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
[8203]and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,
[8205]Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all feel occasionally,
[8206]as we learn of the mounting horrors in Vietnam, But this feeling is only
[8207]temporary, and quickly gives way to activity. As women, we bear the major
[8208]responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility
[8210]in the peace movement,
[8212]Enclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
[8213]for peace, Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
[8214]to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
[8215]effort, to insure representaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon
[8216]on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,
[8218]i
[8220]In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration
[8221]in Portland at
[8223]NOON, Monday, JANUARY 15th
[8225]Pioneer Post Office
[8227]45th and Morrison
[8228]We are asking participants to wear black, and to bring a black
[8229](cr dark colored) umbrella, We shall carry the umbrellas opened,
[8230]rain or shine, Placards (to wear) and leaflets (to distribute),
[8231]expressing support for the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, will be
[8232]available, We shall march around the Post Office block for one hour,
[8233]from noon to 1 p.m., leafleting as we walk,
[8235]Wwe hope, if you cannot go to Washington, yourself, that you will contribute to
[8236]help someone else to go, and that you will also join with us at the Pioneer
[8237]Post Office at noon Monday, January 15th.
[8239]In addition, please let us hear from you on your ideas of what more we might
[8240]do locally, We have some ideas too, which we hope to share with you, and on
[8241]yhich.we shall need much help.
[8243]Flease get in touch with one of us soon, Your help, ideas, and efforts are
[8244]urgently needed,

[8463]SAN FRANCISCO —- When
[8464]Congress reconvencs in Jan-
[8465]j uary, the opening session will
[8466]{be met with the demand that
[8467]its first order of business must
[8468]be ending the Vietnam war
[8469]amd the withdrawal of Ameri-
[8470]ean troops from Southeast Asia.
[8471]"This demand wil be pres-
[8472]ented by woman power, organ-
[8473]iz into the Jeanette Rankin
[8474]Brigade.
[8476]The women plan to convene
[8477]a Congress of American Women
[8478]‘to develop programs “dedicated
[8479]. to reshaping American socicty
[8480]‘and restoring ow country to
[8481]the community of nations.”
[8483]Besides demanding that the
[8484]legislators act to end the war,
[8485]the women will demand that
[8487]® Use its power to heal a sick
[8488]society at home;
[8489]® Use its power to make re-
[8490]parations for the ravaged land
[8491]we leave behind im Vietnam;
[8493]ten fo what the Ameri-
[8495]pie are saying and re-
[8496]wule demands of
[8497]Strial complex,
[8498]Tris movement was inspired
[8499]¥ an appeal by Jeanette Ran-
[8500]van, 86, the nation's first woman
[8502]in Congress, elected in 1917.
[8503]_ “HE we had 10,000 women will-
[8505]ing to goto privon if necessary,”
[8507]she said in May, “that would
[8508]tnd it. You cannot have wats
[8509]without the women.”
[8510]Miss Rankin, a militant Iead-
[8511]er of the suffragette movement
[8512]that eventusiiy gained women
[8513]Tight te vote under the
[8514]ho Amen hs ., voted in 1917
[8515]against U.S involvement in
[8516]World War T and also oppose!
[8517]American mibtury commitment
[8519]tO
[8520]iS:
[8522]in World War IT,
[8524]“Taos is no time to be po-
[8525]hte,” Miss Rankin said. “The
[8526]army isn't polite when it se
[8527]hets a young man and says
[8528]‘come and fight’, But they doen't
[8529]take the politicians and deci-
[8531]vias makers to fight.”
[8533]Miss Rankin's militant oppo-
[8534]‘alion to the Vietnam war Was
[8535]taken up by about 75 prominent
[8536]women,
[8537]LY who issued a call for the

[9603]Mary Clarke pointed out that although the original
[9604]intention had been to have only those women participate
[9605]in the JRB who were willing to risk arrest for civil disobedience,
[9606]she stated at the above meeting that no civil discbedience is
[9607]anticipated in view of the large number of organizations
[9608]participating who are opposed to such civil disobedience.
[9609]However, she further stated that individuals are not going to
[9610]be discouraged who might elect to create civil disobedience.

[9687]COMMUNIST INFILTRATION OF THE
[9688]FIRST UNITARTAN CHURCH OF LOS ANGELES
[9690]A source advised on May 22, 1967, that the
[9691]premises of the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, 2936
[9692]West 8th Street, Los Angeles, California, have been utilized
[9693]for meetings by Communist Party members and sympathizers over
[9694]a period of years, Speakers and lecturers at.the church
[9695]frequently espouse Communist causes or follow the Communist
[9696]Party line. Gommunist front group literature is distributed
[9697]at the church. The church is used by some Communist, Party
[9698]members for "mass concentration" work. 7
[9700]This same infiltration extends to adjuncts of
[9701]the church such as the Unitarian Public Forum and the Fellow-
[9702]ship for Social Justice, formerly known as the Unitarian-
[9703]Universalist Fellowship for Social Justice.
[9705]STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN has been minister of the
[9706]church since 1948,
[9708]Reverend STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN is described in
[9709]the Fourth Report, Un-American Activities Committee in
[9710]California, 1948, page 115, as a very active "Communist
[9711]fronter" and connected with numerous “Communist front organi-
[9712]zations and activities."
[9714]Membership in the First Unitarian Church does not,
[9716]of itself, connote membership in or sympathy with the Communist
[9717]Party.

[9729]A source advised on May 14, 1967, that the Women
[9730]Strike for Peace (WSP ) in the Southern California area began
[9731]its operations in the late “all of 1961, as an affiliate
[9732]of the naticnal organization formed in Washington, D.C, It
[9733]is a peace oriented women's organization which is opposed
[9734]to the present American foreign policy in Vietnam. It has
[9735]also sought legislation which -rould bring about the abolition
[9736]of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA). In
[9737]recent months the organization has sponsored demonstrations
[9738]protesting the United States involvement in Vietnam and
[9739]ealling for the complete withdrawal ofall United States
[9740]treops from Vietnam. In the spring of 1966, it was instrumental
[9741]in originating and putting into effect a campaign advocating
[9742]support fer "peace candidates" in the upcoming 1966 Congressional
[9743]elections.
[9745]The game Source stated that WSP is a non-membership
[9746]organization and has no officers. The organization is open
[9747]to women of aii political opinions who are interested in world
[9748]peace,  *t maxes no effort to exclude from its activities
[9749]members of, or persons sympathetic tc, the Communist Party
[9750]ana related groups.
[9752]The guiding force behind the, Southern California
[9754]WSF groups is MARY CLARKE. A second source advised in July,
[9755]1955, that CLARKE was dropped from the Western Division, Los
[9756]Angeles County Communist Party (LACCP) in the Spring of 1955,
[9758]for personal reasons and not because of any political differences

[9782]A source advised that on October 26-27, 1963, a con-
[9783]ference of members of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), including
[9784]national Punctionaries, met in’Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose
[9785]c?Y setting in motion forces for the establishment of a new national
[9786]Marxist-orlented youth organization which would hunt for the most —
[9787]peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates were told that it
[9788]would be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted
[9789]into this new organization would eventually pass into the CP
[9790]itseif.
[9792]A second source has advised that the founding con-
[9793]vention for the new youth crganization was held from‘June 19-21,

[9796]adooted. Approximately 500 delegates from throughout the United
[9797]States attended this convention.
[9799]The second source advised in September, 1966, that
[9801]Mike Zagarell, CPUSA Youth Director; stated that in Negro
[9803]communities the Party still supported the plan to build "left"
[9804]socialist centers and to solidify the Party base through the
[9806]DCA. This su .7ce also advised in September, 1966, that Daniel
[9807]Rupin, CPUSA National Organizational Secretary, stated the Party -
[9808]believes tne DCA should have a working-class outlook and be a mass

[10444]JANUARY 15, 1968
[10446]A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
[10447]information in the past, advised on January 4, 1968, that
[10448]the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB) with headquarters at
[10449]133 West 72nd Street, New York City, originally scheduled
[10450]a demonstration in Washington, D.C. on January 8, 1968, to
[10451]coincide with the opening of Congress. In view of the
[10452]fact that the reconvening of Congress was delayed until
[10453]January 15, 1968, the organization rescheduled the
[10454]demonstration for that date. The source stated that the
[10455]JRB is composed mostly of members of Women Strike for
[10456]Peace, a pacifist organization and is using the name of
[10457]the JRB only for this one affair,
[10459]The above source stated that individuals are to.
[10460]meet at Union Station in Washington, D.C., at approximately
[10461]11:30 a.m, on January 15, 1968, and then walk in a "silent
[10462]procession" to the United States Capitol. Literature sent
[10463]out by the local office of Women Strike for Peace indicate
[10464]that the women will assemble at Union Station at the above
[10465]time and "in solemn procession and wearing black, we will
[10466]walk to the Capitol steps behind our delegation who will
[10467]present our '"Women's Petition to the Congress'"’ demanding
[10468]redress of grievances."
[10470]According to the source, the group wanted to have
[10471]Speaker of the House McCormick and Senator Mansfield meet
[10472]them on the Capitol steps and accept the above mentioned
[10473]petition, Thereafter, the women would visit both the Senate

[10871]The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
[10872]general circulation published in Berkeley, California,

[10874]edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-
[10876]cern mounted over radioactive fallout from nuclear
[10877]testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
[10878]Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
[10879]out the country and now embraces 900 groups, including
[10880]Women For Peate groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
[10882]These groups support programs to achieve goals such as:
[10883](1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
[10884](2) A strong and flexible United Nations. -
[10886](3) Planning now at state and national levels for
[10887]conversion to peace-~time economy and positive
[10888]efforts to ease world tensions.
[10890]The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
[10891]actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
[10892]the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
[10893]suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co--
[10894]ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
[10895]peace groups is encouraged. Monthiy Coordinating Committee
[10896]meetings and general. meetings, as warranted, are open to
[10897]all and announced in mailings to members. There are no
[10898]dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.
[10900]To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Ylomen For
[10901]Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
[10902]local schools and sponsor peace~-oriented demonstrations
[10903]and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
[10904]candidates for public office. On the national level
[10905]the group attempts to influence government officials
[10907]by letters and conferences.

[11905]CHICAGO COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-SOVIET
[11906]AULATIONS, Formerly known as Chicaga
[11907]councha of American-Soviet Friendship
[11909]EDWIN GORDON FOX, 7147 deffrey Avenue, Chicago,
[11910]Illinois, (now deceased) made available in January, 1954, the
[11911]"First Annual Report CCASF," an undated publication which
[11912]stated that the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship
[11913](CCASF) was incorporated in July, 1943. This document stated,
[11914]"The Council's affiliation with the National Council of
[11915]American-Soviet Friendship (NCASF) was validated August ll,
[11916](1943), The present name was adopted to conform to standard
[11917]national practice. Jt should be noted, however, that the
[11918]Chicago Council is entirely autonomous; the government of its
[11919]affairs rests exclusively in the hands of its Chicago Executive
[11920]Board." :
[11922]On April 8, 1965, a source furnished information to
[11923]the effect that as of March 11, 1965, this organization would
[11924]be known as the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Relations
[11925](CCASR). MANDEL TERMAN continued to be listed as Chairman of
[11926]the new organization.
[11928]During April, 1965, a second source advised that
[11929]MANDEL TERMAN had arbitrarily dissclved the Board of Directors,
[11930]assumed all financial and other functions of the organization,
[11931]and was maintaining existing records of the organization at
[11932]his residence, 660 West Irving Park Road, Chicago, Illinois.
[11933]The aims and purposes of this organization continued to be
[11934]to work for peaceful coexistence and friendship with the USSR.
[11935]While it claimed to be an autonomous organization, its program
[11936]followed the NCASF and it was in freguent contact with the
[11937]NCASF.
[11939]On November 5, 1958, a third source advised that in
[11940]the early 1940s, MANDEL TERMAN was a member-at~large of the
[11941]Communist Party (CP) of Illinois. TERMAN was in Russia in
[11942]November, 1958, where he had gone to discuss the treatment of
[11943]Jews and to discuss Jewish culture in the USSR with the
[11944]leadership of the Soviet Union.

[11952]SOVIET RELATIONS
[11954]; In January, 1966, a fourth source advised that the
[11955]CCASR went out of existence in the Spring of 1965 due to the
[11956]health condition of MANDEL A, PLEAAN The cffices of the
[11957]CCASR, formerly located at 32 Yest Randoloh Street, Chicago,
[11958]were for a short time carried at WANDEL TERMAN's home resi-
[11959]dence, 660 West Irving Park Road, Chicago. During the Fall
[11960]of 1965 due to the defunctness of the CCASR, the CP of Illinois
[11961]found it necessary to sponsor a raily honoring the 48th
[11962]anniversary of the Russian Revolution under a temporary
[11963]committee called “The Chicago Committee for American-Soviet
[11964]Friendship Rally.” This rally was held cn November 7, 1965,
[11965]and once the rally was held this temporary committee went
[11966]out of existence.
[11968]The fourth source advised that as of the present
[11969]time the CCASR is defunct in the Chieago area and any future
[11970]rally to be held on the American-Soviet friendship theme will
[11971]have to be organized by the CP of [Illinois on a temporary
[11972]basis.
[11974]The NCASF has been desivnated pursvant to Executive
[11975]Order 10450, .

[12002]formed around 1936 in New York City, and that the Chicage
[12003]Chapter of the NLG (CCNLG), which is affiliated with the
[12004]national group in-New York, was formed shortly theresiter,
[12005]possibly in 1937 by a group of liberal progressive lawyers
[12006]in protest against activities of the American Bar Asscciution
[12007]Which they claimed was a non-liberal, non-progressive
[12008]organization. The CCNLG has no established headquarters kat

[12134]en November 27, 1967 .
[12136]TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN, TT tee
[12138]Iam proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress
[12140]was a vote against war, It was the first opportunity for a
[12141]woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected
[12142]to Congress,
[12144]I believed then as I do today that women are the ones who
[12145]must be concerned with the needs and development of the
[12146]human race. I have always fought for the dignity of all
[12148]human beings -- for those of the present as well as those
[12150]of future generations.
[12151]I will continue to struggle as long as I live.
[12153]I hope all women will respond to the following CALL, and
[12154]join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening
[12155]day of Congress,
[12157]With highest hopes,
[12159]JEANNETTE RANKIN
[12164]OA call Go AMERICAN WOMEN
[12166]who are outraged by the ruthless slaughter in Vietnam
[12167]i and the persistent neglect of human needs at home :
[12169]TO COME TO WASHINGTON JANUARY 13. & 16
[12171]AMERICAN WOMEN constitute 51% of the voting population, yet a high percentage of us don’t vote. -
[12172]It is time for women to break out of their societal molds and take their place as effective, vocal citi-
[12173]zens. WOMEN CAN ELECT the President they want; Women can determine the political, social and
[12174]economic direction of the nation. WE HAVE WOMEN POWER. Let’s use it to demonstrate our
[12175]opposition to this war to the Congress of the United States.
[12177]We are a broad coalition of women from many areas of American life. We shall meet in Washington
[12178]on January 15 for the opening of Congress to demand the following:
[12180]1, CONGRESS, AS ITS FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS, RESOLVE TO END THE .
[12181]WAR IN VIETNAM AND IMMEDIATELY ARRANGE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL
[12182]OF ALL AMERICAN TROOPS.
[12184]. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO HEAL A SICK SOCIETY AT HOME.
[12185]3. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO MAKE REPARATION FOR THE RAVAGED
[12186]LAND WE LEAVE BEHIND IN VIETNAM.
[12188]4, CONGRESS LISTEN TO WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND
[12189]REFUSE THE INSATIABLE DEMANDS OF THE MILITARY—INDUSTRIAL
[12190]COMPLEX.
[12192]After we petition the United States Congress, we will hold our own congress to articulate our position
[12193]on the basic problem of achieving peace. We declare our intention to return to our communities and
[12194]mobilize women to dedicate ourselves to reshaping American society, and restoring our country toa
[12195]position of honor in the community of nations.
[12197]On January 15, we will meet at the Union Depot in Washington, D.C., at 11:30 A. M., and walk behind
[12198]our delegation which will present our petition to the U.S. Congress.
[12200]On January 16, many of us will stay in Washington to begin implementation of these demands by
[12201]presenting them to our Congressmen and Senators. We hope you can stay.

[14635]TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN,
[14637]I am proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress
[14638]was a vote against war. It was the first opportunity for a
[14639]woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected
[14640]to Congress,
[14642]I believed then as [ do today that women are the ones who
[14643]must be concerned with the needs and development of the
[14644]human race, I have always fought for the dignity of all
[14645]human beings ~~ for those of the present as well as those
[14646]of future generations,
[14648]I will continue to struggle as long as I live.
[14650]I hope all women will respond to the following CALL,, and
[14651]_ join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening
[14652]day of Congress,
[14654]With highest hopes,

[16703]' Dear WSPER:
[16705]Women Strike for Peace nationally is suovorting the Jeannette Rankin Brigade.
[16706]'Pleneloads, trainloads and carloads of women will be coming into Washington on Mon-
[16707]day, January 15th, from all over the country.
[16709]We are particularly pleased with this action because it represents for the first
[16711]time a real coalition of women's peace groups, church groups, theatre personalities,
[16712]jand community leaders. -
[16714]| The Day is envisioned as a solemn, dignified confrontation of those who should be
[16715]representing the ever growing opposition to the war. We ask that you write your Con-
[16716]igressmen urging that they supvort the four points listed in the enclosed Call as Con-
[16718]‘gress reconvenes, Later in the afternoon at our Women's Congress we want to be able to
[16719]report on Congressional responses,
[16723]We will all meet at Union Station in Washington at ll: 30 AM and slowly walk to the
[16724]capitol. We ask the women to wear black, We will be led by Jeannette Rankin who will
[16725]oroceed to the top of the Capitol steps with a representative delegation of 50 women to
[16726]oresent our petition to the two men who represent the whole of Congress, Senator Mike
[16727]“ansfield and Speaker of the House McCormack. The delegation will read the demands be- |
[16728]Zore the assembled women and the two Congressmen. Leaving the Hill, the vomen will enter
[16729]yuses for a motorcade to a Congress of American Yomen (place to be ’ announced). . Women
[16730]nll present an analysis of the current crisis on the war front and the domestic front,
[16732]\eading to suggestions for program and actions to be taken back to our communities ‘for im
[16733]plementation,
[16735]Women may choose to remain in Washington the next day to meet with their Congressmen.
[16736]\f you wish to stay and wish help in securing accommodations, contact the Hospitality Com-
[16737]ittee, 2140 P, St. N.W . Washington, DC (293-2020). We regret that in order to get the
[16739]‘ovest train fare we had to guarantee return the same day; therefore you would have to
[16740]‘inance your own trip back on the 16th,
[16742]‘Our hope is that 10, 000 women will converge upon Washington,
[16744]We urge you to parti~
[16745]ipate.

[17861]TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN:
[17863]Z am proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress ’
[17864]bs Was a vote against the war. It was the first opportunity
[17866]for a woman to vote, because I was the first woman to be
[17867]elected to Congress, .
[17869]I believed then, as I do today, that women are the ones that
[17870]must be concerned with the needs and development of the
[17871]human race. I have always fought for the dignity. of all
[17872]human beings ~- for those of the present as well as those.
[17874]of future generations. : —
[17876]I will continue to struggle as long as I Live, i hope all
[17877]women will respond to the following call and join me in
[17878]Washington on January 15, 1968, the opening day of Congress,
[17880]With highest hopes,

[18685]A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
[18686]information in the past, advised in December, 1967, that
[18687]the Jeannette Rankin#Brigade (JRB) had been formed primatily
[18688]by members of Women Strike for Peace, a pacifist organization,
[18689]Members of Women Strike for Peace had formed the organization
[18690]following a statement made by former Congresswoman Jeannette
[18691]4ankin of Montana, in which she stated that if 10,000 American
[18692]housewives were willing to be arrested, they could stop
[18693]the war in Vietnam, According to the source, the JRB was
[18694]formed as a "one shot organization" to sponsor a demonstration
[18695]in Washington, D.C., when Congress reconvenes.in 1968,
[18697]The same source advised that January 15, 1968,
[18699]' had been established as the date of the above demonstration
[18701]: in view of the fact that Congress was reconvening on that
[18702]date, The source stated that the headquarters of the JRB

[18711]the women would present to the United States Congress 4
[18712]petition demanding that the Congressmen end the war in |
[18713]Vietnam, The source stated that a small minority in the
[18714]above organization were in favor of commiting acts of civil
[18715]disobedience and being arrested. but the vast majority of
[18716]the organization wanted a peaceful demonstration to again
[18717]focus the Congressional attention upon the war in Vietnam.
[18719]The same source advised in January, 1968, that
[18720]representatives of the JRB met with officials of the United
[18721]States Capitol Police on several occasions and attempted

[19790]The demonstrators marched from Union Station to
[19791]Union Square at the foot of Capitol Hill by way of Louisiana
[19792]Avenue, The group was preceded by several individuals
[19793]carrying a banner which read "End the War in Vietnam and Social
[19794]Crisis at Home." Several women followed the marchers
[19795]carrying another banner which read "United States Women
[19796]Unite, End the War in Vietnam." Initially, the group carried
[19797]other placards which read "End the War" and "LBJ Eats

[19810]human needs at home and demanded Congress as the first order
[19811]of business resolve to end the war in Vietnam and immediately

[20463]JANUARY 8, 1968
[20464]INFORMATION CONCERNING
[20466]The Kansas City Star" newspaper, Kansas City,
[20467]Missouri, edition of January 14, 1968, contained an article
[20468]stating that Kansas City women were responding to a "woman
[20469]power" appeal issued by Miss Jeanette Rankin, former member
[20470]of Congress, to end the war in Vietnam. According to the
[20471]article, a small delegation of Kansas City women plan to go
[20472]to Washington, D. C., on January 15, 1968, to participate in
[20473]the march by the "Jeanette Rankin Brigade" to petition Congress
[20474]for a United States withdrawal from Vietnam. The others in
[20475]the group would remain in Kansas City and present copies of
[20476]the petition to the offices of U. §. Representatives Richard
[20477]Bolling, Kansas City, Missouri, and Larry Winn, Kansas City,
[20478]Kansas, at 1:00 p.m., on January 15, 1968.
[20480]The "Kansas City Star" evening edition of January
[20481]15, 1968, carried an article stating that on the afternoon
[20482]of January. 15, 1968, 20 women appeared at the offices of
[20483]Representatives Bolling and Winn. They carried no signs
[20484]and the demonstration was orderly. The women, all from the
[20485]greater Kansas City area, merely presented a petition asking
[20486]Congress to end the war in Vietnam and withdraw American.
[20487]troops, to make reparations for the "ravaged land we leave
[20488]behind in Vietnam", and to listen to the American people
[20489]and refuse "the insatiable demands of the military-industrial
[20490]complex". The article stated that the Kansas City branch of
[20491]| the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
[20492]had been planning to send representatives to the Washington
[20493]| march, but it was not until Wednesday that they decided to
[20494]present the petitions to Congressmen Winn and Bolling.
[20496]According to the article, Mrs. John M.“Swomley , JPe, |’
[20497]Program Chairman of the organization, stated the Kansas City —_—
[20498]group hoped to identify with the women in Washington and their -

[20728]Chairman of the Brigade, announced to the demonstrators that this
[20729]local demonstration was principally gathered to support women
[20730]from around the. United States who were gathered in Washington,
[20731]D.C. today, as part of a nation-wide demonstration sponsored by
[20732]the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, to petition Congress to resolve
[20733]the conflict in Vietnam. Bridges stated that inasmuch as it
[20735]was not possible for the demonstrators to personally contact
[20736]their congressmen, most of whom were out of town; that following
[20737]the presentation of a petition to Mayor Joseph Alioto, the
[20738]demonstrators would then proceed to the Western Union Office on
[20739]10th and Market Streets in San Francisco, so that the women
[20740]protestors could send wires to their congressmen, protesting
[20741]United States policies in Vietnam. Bridges indicated that the
[20742]petitioners would request Mayor Alioto to convey to Congress
[20743]their petition, which among other things urged Congress, as its
[20744]first order of business, to resolve to end the War in Vietnam and
[20745]immediately arrange for withdrawal of all American troops from
[20746]Vietnam; for Congress to use its power to heal the sick society”
[20747]at home and to make reparations for the ravaged lands left
[20748]behind in Vietnam.
[20750]A source advised March 2, 1967, that Mrs. H.
[20751]Bridges, also known as Nikki Bridges, 35
[20752]Kronquest Court, San Francisco, California, was
[20753]listed as a recipient of a new yearly subscription
[20754]to the "People’s World" (PW), expiration date:
[20755]March 4, 1968.
[20757]The PW is a west coast communist newspaper,
[20758]published weekly in San Francisco. po
[20759]The next speaker was identified as Aileen*Hérnandez.~
[20760]She spoke for approximately five minutes and briefily~ explained
[20761]to the demonstrators who Jeannette Rankin is and what the purposes
[20762]of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade are. She stated that the group
[20763]has no principal spokesman and it is principally a group of
[20764]women who are involved and committed in a fight for peace.
[20766]Several of the demonstrators, led by Nikki Bridges,
[20767]then proceeded to the Office of Mayor Joseph Alioto to present
[20768]their petition.

[20793]Approximately ten minutes later the Mayor of
[20794]San Francisco appeared on the steps of the City Hall and announced
[20795]to the demonstrators that he would gladly transmit their
[20796]petition to Congress. .Mayor Alioto stated that he fully
[20797]believed in the constitutional right of peaceful assembly.
[20798]He indicated, however, that because he had consented to
[20799]transmit the demonstrators' petition to Washington, he did not
[20800]necessarily agree with it. The Mayor then stated that it
[20801]was his personal opinion that the United States Government and
[20802]the Johnson Administration had done all in its power to attempt
[20803]' to come to a peaceful and honorable solution in the Vietnamese
[20804]War. He related that he felt that it was now up to the other
[20805]side to make the same attempts to arrive at a peaceful solution
[20806]in the Vietnamese conflict.
[20808]At approximately 12:45 p.m., the demonstrators proceeded
[20809]to the Western Union Office located at 10th and Market Streets
[20810]in San Francisco, so that wires could be sent to their congressmen
[20811]in Washington.
[20813]A Special Agent of the FBI observed one Elaine - “Ae
[20814]Yoneda participating in the above demonstration and following
[20815]the demonstration Yoneda was observed to return to her employment
[20816]at the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union
[20817](ILWU) - Pacific Maritime Association, Pension Fund, at 150
[20819]Golden Gate Avenue,’ San Francisco.
[20821]A second source advised on December 4, 1967, that
[20822]Elaine Yoneda is a current and active member of the Communist
[20823]Party, (CP).
[20825]On January 15, 1968, a Special Agent of the FBI
[20826]observed a silent protest by a group of women on the lawn
[20827]of Colton Hall, Monterey, California, between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.
[20828]These women were ostensibly gathered to support the demonstration
[20829]being held in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Jeannette Rankin
[20830]Brigade. There were no speeches given; the demonstrators merely
[20831]conducted a silent vigil.
[20833]A one page leaflet captioned "Women To Take First
[20834]Step to End The War" printed by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade,
[20835]at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, was handed

[21339]Reference is made to a memorandum,
[21340]captioned as above, dated December 28,
[21341]1967, at Miami, Florida. The memorandum
[21342]concerned a call issued by the Jeannette
[21344]Aaamkin Brigade for American Women to travel
[21345]to Washington, D. C. on January 15, 1968,
[21346]to petition the United States Congress to
[21347]end the war in Viet Nam.
[21349]A sourge, on January 15, 1968, advised that the Miami
[21350]Chapter of the“Women's International League for Peace and
[21351]Freedom (WILPF) had scheduled a demonstration to take place
[21352]January 15, 1968, at Miami, Florida. The demonstration ~
[21353]would be a support activity for the Jeannette Rankin Brigade
[21354]that would be in Washington, D. C. on that date to petition
[21355]Congress to end the war in Viet Nam.
[21357]The January 16, 1968, issue of
[21359]the "Miami Herald," a local Miami, Florida
[21361]newspaper, contained an article entitled
[21363]"Five Thousand Women Join Viet Wir Protest." .
[21364].. Phe article identified Jeannette, Rankin 2
[21366]as an 87 year old woman pacifist and
[21368]former member of Congress who voted in
[21370]Congress against the American entry into
[21372]both world wars.
[21374]A Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
[21375]gation (FBI) on January 15, 1968, cbserved an anti-war
[21376]demonstration take place in Miami, Florida. Approximately
[21377]70 participants, mostly elderly women, assembled at the
[21378]Torch of Friendship, Bayfront Park, downtown Miami, at

[23742]result. She said that at the time of her arrest it had been
[23743]necessary for the arresting officers to drag her down the
[23744]hall as she was too heavy for them to carry. Then she added
[23745]that the next time she is arrested the officers will not have
[23746]that excuse as she has lost thirty pounds in the meantime.
[23748]The speeches in the patio ended at 1:39 PM and many

[23756]and told them that two members‘of the School Board, Reverend
[23757]James E. Jones and Dr. Julian. Nava, had agreed to grant them an
[23758]audience. The women were then ushered into the public board
[23759]room of the School Board where they waited until 2:00 PM at
[23760]which time the above-named Board members granted the demonstrators

[23766]women that-he had seen nothing wrong in entering the armed

[24556]SCEF (Continued)
[24558]continued as an independent organization, rallying support
[24559]for integration and democracy and helping to stimulate
[24561]and nurture new movements of the early 1960's. The SCEF
[24562]maintained headquarters in Louisiana for twenty years, but
[24563]in 1966 moved its headquarters to Louisville, Kentucky.
[24565]A source advised on March 2, 1961, that Claude
[24566]Lightfoot, a Communist Party functionary, stated at a meeting
[24567]of the Communist Party in Baltimore, Maryland, on February 25,
[24568]1961, that th Communist Party is not connected with any
[24569]progressive movement but indirectly they do have some influence
[24570]in the SCEF.
[24572]A second source, who is familiar with some phases
[24573]of Communist Party activity in the New Orleans area, advised
[24574]on June 3, 1966, that during the time that the SCHW was in
[24575]existence, members of the Communist Party were members of”
[24576]and worked actively in the SCHW; however, since the formation
[24577]of the SCEF, Communist Party members have not been encouraged
[24578]to work in the SCEF. The source stated that the SCEF is
[24579]a progressive, liberal organization, which he considers a
[24580]Communist Party front organization because it has gone along
[24581]with the Communist Party on certain issues, particularly
[24582]on the racial issue.
[24584]A third source advised on May 25, 1965, that
[24585]George Meyers, a Communist Party functionary, expressed
[24586]great admiration for Carl and Anne Braden and the SCEF,
[24587]with which they are affiliated, and expressed the view
[24588]that the SCEF is the best organization in the South as far
[24589]as doing effective work is concerned and that they have a
[24590]better idea of what they are doing, where they are heading,’
[24591]and influence other organizations for the better.
[24593]The second source also advised on June 3, 1966,
[24594]that many people who are officials and supporters of the
[24595]SCEF, while liberal in their views, are by no means Communists.

[25190]FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE
[25192]x
[25194]| The April 6, 1960, edition of “The New York Times"
[25195]¢ newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned
[25196]"What Is Really Happening In Cuba," placed by the Fair Play
[25197]for Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced the
[25198]formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the FPCC
[25199]intended to promulgate "the truth about revolutionary Cuba" to
[25200]neutralize the distorted American press,
[25202]"The New York Times” edition of January 11, 1961,
[25203]reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States
[25204]Senate internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,
[25206]Dr. Charles A. Santos-Buch identified himself and Robert Taber
[25207]as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and Taber
[25208]obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied
[25209]toward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.
[25211]i On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the
[25213]A first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle
[25214]between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party(SWP)
[25215]elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby
[25216]influence FPCC policy. This source added that during the past
[25217]year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to
[25218]minimize the role of these and other organizations in the FPCC
[25219]so that their influence as of May, 1963, was neoligible.
[25221]The SWP has been designated pursuant to Executive
[25222]Order 10450.
[25224]On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that Vincent
[25225]"Ted" Lee, FPCC National Office Director, waa ts:n formulating
[25226]FPCC policy and had indicated that he had no intention of
[25227]permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any other organization.
[25228]This source stated that Lee believed that the ¥PCC should.
[25229]advocate resumption of diplomatic relations Between Cuba and
[25230]the United States and should support the right of
[25231]Cubans to manage their revolution without interference from
[25232]other nutions. Lee Aid not advocate supportir: the Cuban
[25233]revolution per se,
[25235]The November 23, 1963, edition of "The New York Times"
[25236]reported that Sengtes Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut had called
[25237]FPCC ‘tthe chief pualic relations instrument of the Castro network
[25238]in the United States." It is to be noted that Senator Dodd was
[25239]a member of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee which
[25240]twice conducted hearings on the FPCC.

[25263]. The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York World
[25264],egram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro FPCC
[25266]-was seeking to go out of business and that its prime activity
[25267]during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-Castro street
[25268]rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction of an active
[25269]propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-Cuba campaigns.
[25270]Its comparatively brief span of,life was attributed to mounting
[25271]anti-Castro American public opinion, the 1962 Congressional
[25272]hearings which disclosed FPCC financing by Castro's United
[25273]Natiors Delegation, and ultimately, the bad publicity which
[25274]the FPCC received from disclosure of activities on its behalf
[25275]by suspected presidential assassin Lee H. Oswald.
[25277]On February 6, 1964, the previously mentioned second
[25278]source advised that V. T. Lee had recently remarked that the
[25279]FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to organize another
[25280]simiiar organization,
[25282]On April 13, 1964, a third source advised that there
[25284]had not been any FPCC activity in many months and that the
[25285]FPCC had been dissolved,

[26405]CONFIDENTIAL
[26407]TAIMI HALONEN and THORUN ROBEL were mildly self-
[26408]eritical about not working for the programs the younger women
[26409]were promoting. TAIMT said she was tired after working long
[26410]hours on the Seattle conference to be held Saturday, January
[26411]20th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle at which the
[26412]Seattle delegation would report. HALONEN made the observation,
[26413]however, that the women working on the program were all very
[26414]experienced leaders and she trusted they would formulate a
[26415]satisfactory program.
[26417]On Monday, January 15, 1968. the delegates including
[26418]the group from Washington State, met at the Union Station in
[26419]Washington, DC. It was learned here that the instructions
[26420]which had been given the day before at the Shoreham Hotel were
[26421]evidently for the California group only, because many California
[26422]pecple had been badly beaten in previous demonstrations and
[26423]they were very cautious and somewhat apprehensive. The
[26424]official pattern was different. Mimeographed sheets headed
[26425]"Jearrerte Rankin Brigade - Information and Instructions" were
[26426]passed out and these appeared to be the official instructions.
[26427]A reproduction is attached.
[26429]r
[26430]_ ~ the Washington State delegation was enlarged when a
[26432]Mrs, -SACKUP from Tacoma arrived. RADER said some of the money
[26434]usually received from wealthy contributors had been collected
[26436]by Mrs. BACKUP. Reverend HAROLD-BASS of Tacoma collected . °--~.
[26438]$179.00, and wanted comeone etse tc go instead of ZEFRA
[26440](STUDAMIRE). RADER defended herself when TAIMI HALONEN criticized
[26442]her for bringing ZEFRA along since ZEFRA is at least six months
[26444]pregnant.
[26446]After the demonstration, HEALY and RADER spent much
[26447]of the time urging the speakers to include in their talks some-
[26448]thing about the status of the American Indian. ELLA BAKER from
[26449]New York did include a paragraph from the paper the Washington
[26450]State delegation submitted to Congress. This was entitled,
[26451]"American Indians and the Struggle for Peace". It had been
[26452]prepared by LONNIE HEALY aithough at its bottom it carried the
[26453]notation "(Prepared by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade Delegation
[26454]from Washington State)."”
[26456]RADER, HEALY, and CORR became indignant because the
[26457]audience did not give a standing ovation to Mrs. MARTIN L. KING,
[26458]dr. or any of the Negro speakers.

[26474]HEALY espressed great dissatisfaction with the
[26475]basic organization ci the gathering. She wanted an onrgani-
[26476]zational meeting instead of a raily type meeting which
[26477]occurred. HALONEN and ROBEL agreed somewhat. HEALY implied
[26478]the wncle thing was a waste of her time.
[26480]In the workshop section of the meeting, HALONEN
[26481]worked in the legislative action section; HELEN FRENCH and
[26482]ELAINE HORSLEY in the electoral campaigns; and HEALY and
[26483]CORR in racism. Here, too, the younger women were very
[26484]critical. HEALY, particularly, resented having men as
[26485]“resource people" for the group. She said she thought this
[26486]was a women's congress. TAIMI said she found herself in a
[26487]situation that was quite different in that she was working
[26488]with a very broad spectrum of politically and economically oriented
[26489]individuals and it was a real learning experience... ELAINE
[26490]HORSLEY was anxious to get back home and work for peace while
[26491]the spirit of JEANNETTE RANKIN was still fresh. She and
[26492]HELEN FRENCH expressed the view the congress met the needs
[26493]of American women in giving a concrete program on which to work.
[26495]Tuesday, January 16, 1968, was for lobbying. The
[26496]Seattle and Tacoma people were told to meet at the Methodist
[26497]Building, 100 Maryland Avenue. HALONEN, ROBEL, HEALY, HORSLEY,
[26498]and HELEN FRENCH arrived before the appointed time. After about
[26499]an hour, EMELIA CASSIDY arrived stating RADER had an eye problem
[26500]and would be unable to attend. Mrs. BACKUP joined the group.
[26501]LINDA CORR and ZEFRA were too tired to get up so early. The
[26502]group called on Washington State's Senators JACKSON and MAGNUSON,
[26503]but they were not in their offices. After leaving a copy of
[26504]the women's petition and a questionnaire prepared by the
[26505]Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (see attachment}
[26506]they called on Washington State's Congressmen FLOYD HICKS and
[26507]BROCK ADAMS. Mr, HiCKS was out or town. Mrs. HOKSLEY knew. the.,
[26508]Congressman personally and her son knew two of the ‘office
[26509]personnel. She asked that they relate to him that she was
[26510]vitally interested in peace and social justice.
[26512]Congressman BROCK ADAMS was in his office and spent
[26513]about twenty minutes talking with the group concerning his
[26514]political views and some of the political machinations of his
[26515]party. The group then began to disintegrate. ELAINE HORSLEY
[26516]left to get a 2:30 flight to Boston where she would visit her
[26517]son who is attending Harvard University.

[26544]After some sightseeing in the arternoon, HALONEN,
[26545]ROBEL, and Mrs. BACKUP checked into the Plaza Hctel since
[26546]they were going to stay a day or two longer for some workshops.
[26547]RADER stayed also. The rest of the group, HEALY, CORR, ZEFRA
[26548](STUDAMIRE), CASSIDY, and FRENCH went to Friendship Airport
[26549]and boarded UAL Flight 41 for Seattle.
[26551]While in Washington, HEALY kept trying to call a
[26552]CARL BLOICE who the source thought used to be either in Seattle
[26553]or San Francisco, but she never reached him.

[26606]troubles might be attributed to the fact STUDAMIRE is expecting

[26610]The delegates weren't premittec to carry a nail file,
[26611]wear peace buttons, or exhibit RANKIN buttons. They had to walk
[26612]Six abreast and were not allowed to march around the White
[26613]House. She said a suit will be brought in court for this
[26614]denial of their rights. She went on to state each person had
[26615]or was given $10.00 to carry on his person so he could not
[26616]be arrested for vagrancy.
[26618]CASSIDY said a nurse, Mrs. HELEN MrTCUOK, had been
[26619]very helpful to the group. COOK told CASSIDY she could be reached
[26620]at 719 Beechwood Road, Media, Pennsylvania, if more information
[26621]is desired concerning Veterans for Peace, which was not further
[26622]described.
[26624]GUY RADER, a CP member at this meeting, tried to stop
[26625]CASSIDY when the latter complained ZEFRA STUDAMIRE was too
[26626]immature to have been sent to the conference, but CASSIDY wasn't
[26627]easy to stop. She was incensed over the fact money had been used
[26628]for STUDAMIRE's trip and the latter refused to cooperate. RADER
[26629]and STUDAMIRE remained in Washington, D.C. after the conference

[26779]age of 16 had died in this country than the 6,628 U. S. combat casualties of
[26780]tle entire Viet Nam War (as of the end of 1966). Most of these were children
[26781]below the age of six. :
[26783]The price we pay is the built~in racism our children are taught in
[26784]school, over television, in-cartoons; the Indian has become a joxe, to white
[26785]Americans, We pay because we don’t know our own history.
[26787]The thread of struggle for self-determination runs through the history
[26788]of Indian-Americans. When a few Indian youth speak of Red Power, the roots go
[26789]deep into their history in finding nourishment for this demand. Just as some
[26790]Negro leaders today speak of W.E.B, DuBois as having raised the same issue cf
[26791]identity long before the level of struggle, which is Black Power, arrived.
[26792]This struggle has gone on for 400 years.
[26794]The Indian people have been sending spokesmen to bring their grievances
[26796]* and their positions before the power structure of this country for two hundred
[26798]years. They have fought in the courts since at least 1330 when the case of
[26799]the Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia tested the ability and the willingness of the
[26800]United States to protect an Indian Tribe in its efforts at seif£-determination.
[26802]The Vietnamese war is a continuation of the whole racist war we have |
[26803]waged ayainst the Indian People. Understanding this is a part of understanding;
[26804]the Viet Nam var. We respond to what is happening to Vietnamese children, yet
[26805]the Indian people have suffered from the same policy of extermination and é
[26806]destruction of their identity,
[26808]We must unite with the strivings of those who have had to deal with
[26809]United States' genocide for 200 years!
[26811]We can help to push the United States to ratify the United Nations
[26812]Resolution, "Treaty Asainst Genocide", that the United States should correct
[26813]the history and policy of genicide against the Indian people. Today this
[26814]refers to the destruction of their identity as'a people and linke with the
[26815]struggles of people for their identity all over the world. To stop the policy
[26816]of genocide, of racism, to develop compensatory steps to undo the effects of
[26817]the crimes against the Indian people, to remove the oppression of the Indian >
[26818]people! not ve RE gs ta So,
[26821]All the forces in this country cannot win democratic power without
[26822]waring this correction of what waa done to the American Indian people.

[27314]Upon informing the Capitol Police of their planned march to the Capitol building
[27316]to present their petition, the wencn were threatened with errest uncer 40 U.S.C.
[27318]193 (a) et. seg. which, after defining the area considered Capitol Grounds, states:
[27320]"It is forbidden to parade, stand, or move in processions
[27322]or assemblapes in said United States Capitol Grounds, or to
[27323]display therein any flag, banner, or device designed or “4
[27324]adapted to bring into public notice any party, organization, ,
[27326]Or movement...ooe"
[27328]The statute further provides that exceptions from these prescriptive provisions
[27329]Will be made in the discretion of certain Congressional leaders and/or Capitol
[27331]Police.
[27333]The exceptions are allowed on “ocassions of national interest becoming
[27335]the congnizance and entertainment of Congress."
[27339]The petition of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade apparently does not become “the
[27341]entertainment of Congress" and arrests were threatened.
[27343]Therefore the suit which
[27345]was files prays for the convening of a three-judge Federal District Court which
[27346]is Yequested to enjoin the operation and enforcement of the statute and to
[27348]declare it unconstitutional.
[27350]We have asked the Federal District Court for the
[27352]District of Columbia to grant us this relief on an emergency basis prior to
[27354]January 15th. Our request was denied.
[27356]of Columbia Court of Appeals and was likewise denied.
[27358]The same request was made to the District
[27359]As it was then impossible
[27361]to obtain relief prior to January 15th the Brigade's attorneys are continuing the
[27363]appeal on @ non-emergency basis in the Court of Appeals and have every confidence |
[27365]of ultimate victory.
[27367]This is far from the last time that these women or any other Americans intend
[27369]to appear in their nation's Capitol to petition their government.
[27370]will be the last time that they find it so difficult to do so.

[27623]“gern Welfare prograns in the United States ber. with passage of
[27624]“che Socinl Security Acte--in 1955, aGutnorizing federal grants to
[27625]states for public assistance and child welfare programs, Tn 1937,
[27626]the Washington Legislature repenled the FPoupers Law of 165% and
[27627]enacted a State Social Security Law. "Welfare" has toen a. bone of
[27630]contention ever since,
[27631]Greenleigh Report ws .
[27633]In 1963, the Washington Legislature appropriated $20,000 for a study
[27634]of the state's public assistance programs. The study was made by
[27635]Greenleigh Associates, and the Greenleigh Report was presentod in
[27636]December, 1964, ~
[27638]This report stated that public assistance grants in
[27640]Washington, with standar s based on 1959 prices and
[27642]12% ratable reductions,t.® ‘e 40% below the minimum
[27644]Standards for health and decency, Speaking of child ’
[27646]welfare needs, the report said:"There is an excessive
[27648]and increasing rate of referral of children to the
[27650]Juvenile Courts, both for dependency and delinquency.
[27652]There 1s an excessive and increasing trend for children
[27654]to be removed from their natural families and ¢ared
[27656]for elsewhere,"
[27658]WHAT ABOUT RATABLE REDUCTIONS?
[27660]ry of podern Welfn
[27662]The 1965 Legislature removed the ratable reductions, The 1967
[27663]Legislature ordered the Dept. of Public Assistance to bring itts
[27664]pricing standard's up to 1967 levels.
[27666]New standards were put into effect July first. Increased allowances
[27667]for rent vary from county to county. ther allowances were increased
[27668]an average of 10-3/4%.In King County the total increase was 16%,
[27669]Thus, King County grants have been increased by 28% since 1964,
[27670]put the cost of living has increased by at least 5%. Grants are sti
[27671]17% less than acceptable levels, .
[27673]The maximum grant for a Seattle family consisting of
[27675]tuo adults, a boy 13, and a girl 8, is $285.80 a
[27677]month--$3,429 a year. But recent changes in the
[27679]Federal Social Security Law cast a shadow on even
[27681]this figure. The local welfare officials will not
[27683]offer any guess as to what may happen next. NEW RATABLE
[27685]REDUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY,
[27687]There is much talk of getting people off welfare by putting them to
[27688]work. Yet who will take care of the children? Child care costs fro
[27689]$60 to $80 per child per month in Seattle, ‘
[27690]Some examples of women's wages:

[27918]A source reported on May 17, 1962, a meeting of the
[27919]Ballard-Greenwood CP Club was heid in Seattle, April 25, 1962,
[27920]at which TAIMI HALCNEN was nominated to be the new Chairman of
[27921]this Club. Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN
[27922]said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP,
[27923]an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven
[27924]members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but
[27925]did not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an
[27926]organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she
[27927]could help.
[27929]On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of
[27930]the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963.
[27931]KEN ROSE, a member of the Club, reported the most influential
[27932]peace organization in Seattle was SWAP.
[27934]On July 31, 1964, a meeting of the North Central cP
[27935]Section Committee was held at Seattle. WILL PARRY, Section
[27936]Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political
[27937]questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he
[27938]said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign
[27939]into the election campaign. At another Section meeting,
[27940]February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective
[27941]peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace
[27942]forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting
[27943]SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue,
[27945]A third source advised on February 24, 1966, a
[27946]Northwest District CP Committee meeting was held at Seattle
[27947]February 12, 1966. After lunch, the entire group participated
[27948]in passing out leaflets pertaining tec racial matters and the
[27949]Vietnam war which carried the name of SWAP, 5411 Ravenna Avenue
[27950]Northeast, Seattle, Washington 98105, which address has heen
[27951]used consistently by SWAP and is that of ANCI KOPPEL, also known
[27952]as Mrs. CHARLES KOPPEL, KOPPEL has been and continues to be
[27953]the coordinator and apparent prime motivating force of SWAP
[27954]as of May, 1967.
[27956]A fourth source reported in 1945
[27957]ANCI KOPPEL was a member of the
[27958]Professional Group of the Communist

[27982]On Februa~y 23, 1960, 4 2 ""*2 seported the Communist
[27983]panty (CP), Northwest vistrict Com..cvse, at a meeting in’
[27985]January, 1960, decided to prepare for opening a cooperative -
[27986]bookstore and directed the CP State Board to set up a Party
[27987]committee for this purpose:
[27989]The above source also reported that at a state-wide
[27990]CP conference held on August 27, 1950, CP District Chairman
[27991]BURT NELSON reported on the WCC, NELSON announced the committee
[27992]was determined’ to have the bookstore opened by the earliest
[27993]possible date, probably Oc tober 15, (2960). He urged support
[27994]of the wWcc. ‘
[27996]A second source in February and March, 1960, advised
[27997]a committee of CP members during those months commenced organi-
[27998]zation of the WCC with authorized capital of $2,000 which was-
[27999]to sell shares and make other plans for operation of a bookstore
[28000]selling "progressive" Literature at Seattie. In May and June,
[28001]1960, this source reported BURT NELSON, on May 18, 1960, stated
[28002]the CP District Literature Commission would concern itself with
[28003]the bookstore and other types of literature to be sold. On
[28004]May 31, 1960, BURT NELSON suggested October 1, 1960, as the
[28005]tentative opening date of the bookstore. |
[28007]A second source advised on November 2, 1960, the
[28008]“principal aim of the WCC is to establish a bookstore in the
[28009]Seattle area inasmuch as this need has long been. recognized -by
[28010]the Washington State CP due to difficulties encountered in main-
[28011]taining a Party literature apparatus, and it is desired to have
[28012]available public facilities to attract supporters and sympathizers.
[28013]This source stated the WCC has obtained a location for its
[28014]bookstore at 710 Stewart Street, Seattic, and operations
[28015]commenced at that lecation on November 5, 1960.
[28017]A third source advised on May 1, 1967, that the wec
[28018]held its annual meeting of shareholders at the Roosevelt Hotel,
[28019]Seattle, on April 30, 1967. As a pari of the business at this
[28020]meeting, a report was made on the financial status of "Co-op

[28963]retreating from the fight for the world socialist

[29620]and states, in part, as follows: -

[29623]to us. They are our example, We answer them with our strength
[29624]together, Women are marching against the Pentagoh on April
[29625]10. With dignity and rage we march against the American
[29626]Medical Association and its health system that cares nothing
[29627]about the health of the people. We march against the
[29628]partnership between police and organized crime, which makes
[29629]heroin a big business----- Silently endorsed by those who
[29630]‘govern us'!, We march against politicians, hustlers and
[29631]kickback men, whose corruption and crimes are paid for by the

[29670]_ 10, contained an article captioned, "Women March on
[29671]Washington? This article reflected, in part, as follows:
[29673]"Out of the outrage against the war that was the unifying
[29675]force of the Ann Arbor conference, the women's cuucus decided
[29677]to channel our frustration into a public statement calling for
[29679]@ women's march on Washington, D.C. on April 10. We all felt
[29681]the urgency to show how we as women feel oppressed by the same
[29683]U.S. system that needs the dominance of men over women, white
[29685]over black, brown and,yellow,heterosexual over homosexual, and
[29687]over poor to support tre aggressive war policy that is killing
[29689]ow Vietnamese sisters and brothers,.---~--
[29691]"We are making this march one step in showing the
[29692]world our solidarity. as women with all our sisters in Vietnam
[29693]who are fighting for their lives. The Ccmmittee to Defend the
[29694]Right to Live, a South Vietnamese women's organization, has
[29695]called for our support."
[29697]The confidential source mentioned above on March
[29698]15; 1971, furnished information that on March 11, 1971, a
[29699]"women's meeting" was held at Washington Square Methodist
[29700]Church, 135 West 4th Street, New York, New York (NY).
[29701]Approximately 7O people were present, It appears to the source

[29859]Reference is made to New York memorandum
[29860]dated March 16, 1971.
[29862]On March 24, 1971, a source, who has furnished
[29863]reliable information in the past, advised that on March 22,
[29864]1971, a "Committee for April 10" held a meeting at the Law
[29865]Commune Office, 640 Broadway, New York City (NYC), which
[29866]was attended by 30 to 40 females. It was learned that a
[29867]woman from the New York (NY) group was already in Washington,
[29868]D.C. working with others there to arrange permits, speakers,
[29869]et cetera, for the womenS march on the Pentagon on April 10,
[29870]1971. It was stated that it was easier to obtain a permit
[29871]for a march from the Justice Department to the Pentagon,
[29872]than from the Pentagon to the Justice Department, but that
[29873]no permit had been obtained as yet. It was pointed out that
[29874]a march from the Pentagon to the Justice Department was
[29875]preferred as there would be less chance of losing marchers
[29876]en route to the Justice Department than from marching
[29877]from the Justice Department to the Pentagon. It was stated
[29878]that no buses had been chartered at NY, but is was hoped that
[29879]15 buses would be needed. .

[29908]Law Commune
[29910]On September 16, 1969, a second source, who
[29912]has furnished reliable information in the
[29914]past, advised that the Law Commune is not an
[29916]organization in the usual sense of the word.
[29918]It is rather @ law firm comprised of a group
[29920]of lawyers interested and sympathetic to the
[29922]New Left and Black Power organizations, and who
[29924]counsel and defend individuals in these groups
[29926]as the occasion arises. They likewise permit
[29928]their premises to be used on occasion as a meeting
[29929]‘ place for these organizations and distribute
[29931]some of their literature.
[29933]On March 25, 1971, the second advised that as of
[29934]now there is much confusion over the mechanical aspects of
[29935]the Women's National March on April 10, 1971, and that the
[29936]people in Washington, D.C, will make the ultimate decision
[29937]regarding the xoute of the march. The source stated that
[29938]in NY, information concerning buses for Washington, D.C.
[29939]will be available at the Upper West Side Women's Center,
[29940]627 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, telephone number 874-6696.
[29942]On March 24, 1971, the second source made available
[29943]@ piece of literature sent out by the "April 10 Women's
[29944]Committee" concerning the national women's march on the
[29945]Pentagon on April 10. This literature contained in part as
[29946]follows:
[29948]"we are going to the Pentagon on April 10 to
[29949]serve notice on our enemies that women are moving against
[29950]them. Our urgency and our fury at the expansion of the
[29951]Indochinese war and our rage at the repression of our black
[29952]and brown sisters and brothers needs expression right now.
[29953]We are joining with other women to struggle for the everyday
[29954]things we need and against whatever and whoever prevents us
[29955]from getting them. ,
[29957]"We need and want our sisters around the country
[29958]to build for this action in their own ways, and to communicate
[29959]with: other sisters their ideas, suggestions and criticisms.

[30231]Reference is made to New York (NY) memorandum
[30232]dated March 26, 1971.
[30234]On March 30, 1971, a source, who has furnished
[30235]reliable information in the past, advised that on March
[30236]26, 1971, a "Committee for April 10" had a meeting at
[30237]the McIntosh Student Union, Barnard College, New York City
[30238](NYC), to plan and organize for the Women's March on the
[30239]Pentagon on April 10, 1971. The meeting was attended by
[30240]30 individuals and had no chairman,
[30242]The source stated that at the above meeting, two
[30243]representatives,man and wife, from an "Action Committee"
[30244]on certain islands near Okinawa, planned a march on April
[30245]10, 1971 in Washington, D.C, to protest giving over to
[30246]Japan what they feel to be Chinese islands. This march is
[30247]to begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Washington Monument, up
[30248]Massachusetts Avenue to the State Department, and possibly
[30249]oh to the Japanese Embassy. Support of the women's group
[30250]was requested; however, after the two left the meeting, the
[30251]"Committee for April 10" decided not to support the Chinese
[30252]march on the grounds that they were too "liberal,"

[30277]The source advised that at the above meeting, it
[30278]. was stated that no permit had been obtained as yet for the
[30279]Women's March on the Pentagon on April 10, 1971. It was
[30280]stated that the march will proceed from a "grassy spot" at the
[30281]Justice Department at noon, past the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
[30282]Department of the Interior, Department of Labor and on to
[30283]the Pentagon, An hour at each end of the march would be
[30284]allowed for speakers, though the group doubted they would use
[30285]it. Guerrilla theatre activity by participating groups in
[30286]front of the various government buildings was discussed and-
[30287]encouraged, though specifics were not mentioned.
[30289]The source stated that at the above meeting, copies
[30290]of a letter to Madame Binh, head of the Vietcong delegation
[30291]to the Paris peace talks and the North Vietnamese in Paris,
[30292]were passed out, describing the purpose of the April 10 march.
[30293]This letter is get forth as follows:
[30295]"March 25, 1971
[30296]"Dear Mme. Binh,
[30298]"On April 10, many of us American women will be
[30299]marching on the Pentagon. You know already of the other
[30300]actions being planned here against the war. As women, we
[30301]are coming out from separate cities and roles, trying to
[30302]create reality out of what we once held looked up in ow
[30303]imaginations. In marching on the Pentagon, we are joining with
[30304]all people inside and outside of Amerika, who fight against
[30305]Amerika's attempt to control us.
[30307]"We've been conditioned so long to accept Amerika's
[30308]definition of us as weak, passive, and powerless, and to deny
[30309]all our feelings of love and strength, that it has been a
[30310]struggle for us to turn towards each other and fight for our
[30311]freedom,
[30313]"Your own long struggle in Indochina, and the struggle
[30314]of Third World people here at home, awakened us to the
[30315]destruction that Amerikan power represents all over the world,
[30316]Your many victories against that power have been an inspiration
[30317]to us. But it-wasn't until we joined together to examine and
[30318]share our own experiences as women in Amerika that we saw

[30344]at the same time that we work to build day care centers, health

[30347]to the needs of all the people, not just the rich and the
[30348]powerful. The enormous anger and energy of sisters together
[30350]is a force that confuses and terrifies the rulers of Amerika.

[30879]STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY
[30881]Students for a Democratic Society, commonly
[30882]known as SDS, came into existence at a founding convention
[30883]held during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an
[30884]initial posture of "participatory democracy," Marxist-
[30885]-Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant
[30886]during 1968-1969 with debate centering on how best to create
[30887]a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from involvement
[30888]in the civil rights struggle to an anti-Vietnam war position
[30889]to advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist line linking up
[30890]the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America
[30891]with the black liberation movement in the United States.
[30892]All major factions within SDS embrace Marxism-Lenism
[30893]and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North
[30894]Vietnam as countries leading the worldwide struggles
[30895]against the United States. However, the Soviet Union
[30896]was regarded as imperialist end with the Communist Party,
[30897]United States of America, "r: visionist" in nature.
[30899]SDS operated under a national constitution which
[30900]called for an annual Nationa. Convention (NC) and quarterly
[30901]National Council meetings wherein programs were initiated
[30902]and debated. Three national officers were elected annually
[30903]with a National Interim Committee to run the organization.
[30904]Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to
[30905]the national meetings but each functioned independently on
[30906]iocal matters. Its official publicition "Fire" (formerly
[30907]"New Left Notes") last appeared in december, 1969.
[30909]Internal factionalism of serious proportions
[30910]developed during 1968 - 1969 and tie following three factions
[30911]evoived as a result of a split at *he June, 1969, NC:
[30912]Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance (WSA), and Revolutionary
[30913]Youth Movement (RYM). The effect of the split on SDS chapters
[30914]throughout the country was divisive. Some aligned with one
[30915]or the other of the three major factions. Others, unable to
[30916]identify with any faction, disassociated with SDS completely
[30917]and changed names.
[30919]The SDS national office in recent years was
[30920]located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. Tt
[30921]was closed in February, 1970.

[30974]WEATHERMAN
[30976]Initially called the “Action Faction," Weatherman
[30977]¢ came into being immediately before the dune, 1969, Students
[30978]for a Lemocratic Society (SDS) National Convention (NC).
[30979]At this NC Weatherman won all three national officer positions
[30980]and a majority of the National Interim Committee as well.
[30981]Subsequently, they took over the SDS National Office (NO)
[30982]in Chicago, and controlled its funds, paper and national
[30983]records. Although internal struggle existed until late 1969,
[30984]Weatherman for all major purposes controlled SDS nationally
[30985]. from June, 1969, until its LO closed in February, 1970. At
[30986]soo this time it no longer considered itself part of SDS.
[30988]The term Weatherman emerged from an ideological
[30989]paper prepared by its leaders entitled “You Von't Weed a
[30990]Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind blows" ("New Left
[30991]Notes" June 18, 1969). This statement outlined the basic
[30992]| - stance of Weatherman: Harxist-Leninist in content but with
[30993]a strong advocacy that action not theory would bring about
[30994]vos revolution in the United States. WVhis posture was complemented
[30995]” with an international identification to the Cuban revolution
[30996]and CASTRO's statement that the duty of a revolutionary is
[30997]to make revolution.
[30999]During October, 1969, Weatherman riots in
[31000]Chicago resulted in more than 260 arrests for mob action
[31001]and related charges. A program of armed struggle was
[31002]finalized during a December, 1969, "War Council" wherein
[31003]terrorist tactics and political assassination were
[31004]contemplated. The basic strength of Weatherman was then
[31005]revealed to be some 300 - 350 nationally and geographically
[31006]apportioned to the Midwest, New York, and some Northwest.
[31008]As its rhetoric of violence escalated, Weatherman
[31009]leaders increasingly discussed the necessity of an underground
[31010]operation wherein more than 90 percent of the organization
[31011]would be submerged; "affinity groups" of three - five members
[31012]would function independently. In February, 1970, Weatherman
[31013]leaders announced a program of “strategic sabotage" with
[31014]police and military installations as primary targets.
[31016]In February, 1970, Weatheruan abandoned the
[31017]SDS NO, 1608 West Madison Street, Chicaco, Tllirnois, and
[31018]throughout the country ertersd an un erecreund status.

[31055]A source advised during August, 1969, that at
[31056]the National Convention (NC} of Students for a Democratic
[31057]Society (SDS) held in Chicago, {llinois, during June, 1969,
[31058]a split arose between the Progr2ssive Labor Party (PLP) and
[31059]the National Office (NO), the N) becoming known as the
[31060]Weatherman faction. The PLP faztion drew the largest
[31061]support among those in attendanze at the NC.
[31063]Source further advisei that during late Summer,
[31064]1969, the PLP faction of SDS established its National
[31065]Headquarters (NH) on the second floor of a loft-type
[31066]building at 173A Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
[31067]The campaign on which the PLP faction centered was to build
[31068]a worker student alliance or a campus worker student
[31069]alliance. Thus, they adopted the names of Worker Student
[31070]Alliance (WSA) or Campus Worker Student Alliance.
[31072]Source stated that the "New Left Notes,” printed
[31073]in New York City, is the official publication ef the WSA
[31074]faction.
[31076]A second source advis2d during January, 1970,
[31077]that within the SDS, the WSA is a caucus of which the PLP
[31078]constitutes the leadership.
[31080]A third source adviseil during July, 1970, that
[31081]during demonstrations staged ir the Boston area during the
[31082]Spring and Summer of 1970 by tre NH, the main theme of
[31083]previous demonstrations staged oy the NH shifted from
[31084]protestations of the Vietnam War and other United States
[31085]foreign policy matters to attac cing domestic issues such
[31086]as racism and unemployment and jiemonstrating support of

[31108]REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH MOVEMENT
[31110]A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth
[31111]Movement II (RYMII) faction of Students for a Democratic
[31112]Society (SDS) held a national conference at Atlanta, Georgia,
[31113]from November 26 to 30, 1969, At this conference it was
[31114]decided to form a new organization to be known as Revolutionary
[31115]Youth Movement (RYM), characterized as a mass anti-imperialist
[31116]youth organization, said organization being proposed as
[31117]separate and distinct in form and content from SDS. The
[31118]"principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a
[31119]struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy: fights
[31120]against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression
[31121]of youth: and support of the right of self-determination of
[31122]all "oppressed nations," also support of the right of all
[31123]“oppressed and exploited" peoples “to armed self-defense."
[31124]It was agreed that RYM would not be a Marxist-Leninist
[31125]organization; however, source said this was decided in order
[31126]to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be
[31127]acceptable to everyone. A temporary National Steering
[31128]Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was
[31129]elected to govern RYM until national officers could be
[31130]elected during the Spring of 1970.
[31132]RYM publications have listed the RYM National Office
[31133](NO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 Cc,
[31134]both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that
[31135]the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as
[31136]located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta.
[31138]Second source advised that women dominated the
[31139]founding conference and have continued to dominate NSC
[31140]meetings to the point that "women's liberation" has apparently
[31141]become the RYM's principal issue ~- also that RYM's poor
[31142]financial condition has resulted in its failure to publish
[31143]a paper. During early 1970, RYM has decided to cater to
[31144]the working class rather than youth, since the potential for
[31145]social revolution lies in workers.
[31147]A third source has stated that it was decided at
[31148]the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RYM women had decided the
[31149]organization will be molded into a “working class, Marxist-
[31150]Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist, problack
[31151]nationalist, people's women's liberation organization."

[31173]PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY
[31175]The "New York Times" city edition Tuesday,
[31176]April 20, 1965, Page 27, reported that a new party of
[31177]"revolutionary socialism" was formally founded on April 18,
[31178]1965, under the name of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP),
[31179]which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement,
[31181]According to the article, "The Progressive Labor
[31182]Movement was founded in 1962, by MILTON ROSEN and MORTIMER
[31183]SCHEER after they were expelled from the Communist Party of
[31184]the United States for assertedly following the Chinese
[31185]Communist line."
[31187]A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP
[31188]held its Second National Convention in New York City, May 31,
[31189]to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its
[31190]objective of the establishment of a militant working class
[31191]movement based on Marxism-Leninism.
[31193]The source also advised that at the Second National
[31194]Convention, MILTON ROSEN was unanimously re-elected National
[31195]Chairman of the PLP and LEVI LAUB, FRED JEROME, JARED ISRAEL,
[31196]WILLIAM EPTON, JACOB ROSEN, JEFFREY GORDON and WALTER LINDER
[31197]were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until
[31198]the next convention.
[31200]The PLP publishes “Progressive Labor," a bimonthly
[31201]magazine, and "Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper,
[31203]Source advised on May 25, 1970, that the PLP
[31204]utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn,

[34435]Boston investigation based on his participation in a
[34436]"“Teach-In" and Rededication Service on 1/29/68 at the
[34437]Arlington St, Church, Boston. During the above activity,
[34438]DELLING 3ER made a statement in support of the "Resistance
[34439]Group" and turned in what was reported to be Selective .
[34440]Service cards..
[34442]The primary function of the Resistance Group
[34443]was to aid, abet, and counsel young men faced with the.
[34444]draft, :
[34446]EVAN PATCHEN DELLINGER graduated from Swarthmore

[34448]He was arrested at Chester, Pa. on 4/1/64 and was charged
[34449]with disorderly conduct.
[34451]The 1968-69 Harvard University Directory of
[34452]Officers and Students reflected that DELLINGER was enrolled
[34453]in the School of Medicine, Harvard University, Cambridge,
[34454]Mass,
[34456]It had been reported that PATCH DELLINGER was
[34457]present at a Socialist Workers Party (SWE) Street Meeting
[34458]in New York City on 7/21/64,
[34460]The file further disclosed that inasmuch as the
[34461]Boston office had no current information associating DELLIN-
[34462]GER with the SWP or the Young Socialist Alliance and that
[34463]his activities on behalf of the New England Resistance were
[34464]pacifist in nature, it was felt that DELLINGER did not

[34480]on 1/29/68 at which 23 individuals turned in either a
[34481]Notice of Classification and/or a Registration Certificate.
[34482]Two other individuals turned in some other type of document.
[34483]It was determined that DELLINGER had turned in a Selective
[34484]Service Registration Certificate and two Notices of Classi-
[34485]fication issued by LB #28, Flemington, New Jersey. Also,
[34487]a two-page statement signed PATCHEN DELLINSER supporting

[35934]Source stated that she has not been in the dwelling
[35935]at 219 llth Street, S.E., since it was rented to these three

[35937]their activities.
[35939]On September 14, 1972, WF T-8 furnished the August, 1972
[35940]copy of the "Furies" Newspaper.
[35942]A subsequent review of this issue, as well as all

[35944]or anti-government theme. All issues have been devoted to
[35945]articles pertaining to lesbian/feminist interests.

[36338]repeal of all antiabortion laws, to protest forced sterilization, andto call ~
[36339]for an end to restrictive contraceptive laws. A source of the Washington
[36340]Field Office has advised that the march in Washington is supported by the

[36349]information that 46 buses have been chartered to bring participants to the
[36351]demonstration. Participants will represent some 80 cities. The Metropolitan
[36353]Police pear me anticipates participation will be in the vicinity of of By 2200 persons

[38927]as being formed by the national conference of
[38928]more than 1,000 women held in New Yors City,
[38929]New York, in July 1971. At that conference,

[38933]for the corollary demands of no forced sterilization
[38934]and repeal of contraception laws. The conference
[38936]. called for a massive show cf force for these goals
[38937]in a march on Washington, D.C., and San Francisco,
[38938]California, November 20, 1971. WONAAC is based
[38939]on a program of legislative, judicial, and
[38940]mass demonstration activities on a local and.
[38941]national level, and seeks to unite all women in
[38942]the fignt for the right of abortion.

[38949]article states in vart as follows:
[38951]"Women from 253 organizations across the country
[38952]are mobilizing for mass demonstrations here

[39426]as being formed by the national conference of
[39427]more than 1,000 women held in New York City,
[39428]New York, in July 1971. -At that conference,
[39429]women from 29 states and 253 organizations came
[39431]~~ together to unite their efforts in the national
[39432]fight for the repeal of all abortion laws and
[39433]for the corollary demands of no forced sterilization
[39434]and repeal of contraception laws. The conference
[39435]called for a massive show of force for these goals
[39436]in a march on Washington, D. C., and San Francisco,
[39437]California, November 20,.1971. WONAAC is based
[39438]on a program of legislative, judicial, and
[39439]mass demonstration activities on a local and
[39440]national level, and seeks to unite all women in
[39441]the fisht for the right of aborticn,
[39443]. On November 28, 1971, source one advised that on
[39444]November 19, 1971, a bus chartered by the Los Angeles Women's
[39445]Abortion Aetion Comaittee (LAMAAC) transported arpremimately
[39446]fifty Los Angeles, California, area individuals from Los Angeles . .
[39447]‘to San Francisco to participate in a demonstration held in that --
[39448]city on November 20, 1971, and sponsored by WONAACG to protest
[39449]abortion laws, forced sterilization, and restrictive contraception
[39450]laws. This bus left Los Angeles at approximately 10:00 p.m., on
[39451]November 19, 1971, and returned to the Los Angeles area during
[39452]the evening of November 20, 1971.

[41399](TROTSKYIST )
[41400]a) On November 13, 1971, @ source advised that the
[41402]Women's National Abortion Coalition (WONAAC) planned to
[41403]hold demonstrations at Washington;~D. C. and San Francisco,
[41404]California on November 20, 1971. The purpose of the ,
[41405]demonstrations were to call for the repeal of ail abertion,
[41406]contraception and forced sterilization laws. Thé°Women's
[41407]Right to Choose of Maryland, the Baltimore, Maryland
[41408]affiliate of WONAAC was to organize busing and housing
[41409]arrangements for out-of-state women.
[41411]On November 22, 1971, &@ source advised that the
[41412]Women's Right to Choose of Maryland, working from 3028
[41413]Greenmout Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland, were unsuccessful
[41414]in attempts to generate enthusiasm for the WONNAC demonstration
[41415]among Baltimore area women. Therefore, the plan to charter
[41416]a bus for the purpose of transporting demonstrators to the
[41417]Washington, D. C, rally was cancelled,
[41419]On November 30, 1971, a second source advised
[41420]that the Women's Risht to Choose of Maxvyland had been
[41421]formed as an “ad hoc” group for the specific purpose of
[41422]supporting the Novenber 20, 1971 Washington, D. C. demonstra-
[41423]tion. The source furtner staved tnat tne Women's Right '
[41424]to Choose of Maryland ceased to exist, following this i
[41425]demonstration, and is new cefunct. j

[43194]Re: Women's National Abortion Action
[43195]Coalition (CWONAAC) Convention,
[43196]February 11 - 138, 1972
[43197]Boston, Massachusetts
[43199]On February 18, 1972, source, who has furnished
[43200]reliable information in the past, furnished the following
[43201]information:
[43203]A Women's National Abortion Action Coalition
[43204](WONAAC) Convention was held on the Boston University campus,
[43205]Boston, Massachusetts, during the period of February 11 ~
[43206]13, 1972.
[43208]Approximately 1,000 persons were in attendance
[43209]at this convention which was held to determine future action
[43210]of WONAAC and to allow diverse factions within the Women's
[43211]Abortion Movement to join ranks under one issue,
[43213]Female members of the Socialist Workers Party (Su?
[43214]and Young Socialist Alliance (¥SA) from all over the county
[43215]were requested by the national office of the SWP and YSA
[43216]to attend this convention in order to insure the effective
[43217]control of the convention by the SWP,
[43219]As the youth organization of the Socialist
[43221]Workers Party (SWP) , ‘the’ Young Sdcialist Alliance: 0-# athe
[43223]C(¥SA) serves as the main sSoarcze of recruitment
[43224]into that organization. The YSA is described
[43225]in the masthead of its official publication,
[43226]"The Young Socialist Organizer," as "A multi-
[43227]national revolutionary socialist youth organi-
[43228]zation,"
[43230], “The SWP has been designated pursuant to
[43231]Executive Order 10450.

[43244]CONFIDENTIAL
[43246]Re: WONAAC
[43248]The SWP specifically wished the convention to
[43249]adopt a one-issue position, that being the complete
[43250]control of the female body by the individual female,
[43251]This specific issue, "women control their bodies" was
[43252]adopted by the women's orzanization and all other propo-
[43253]sals were rejected.
[43255]Workshops were organized for each of the many
[43256]separate racial and ethnic groups represented at the
[43257]conference, Workshops were based on appeal to the speci-
[43258]fic group intended and all were supposedly controlled by
[43259]the SWP,
[43261]A Black, Raza, Asian-American women's workshop
[43262]was held on February 12, 1972, with 35 persons attending.
[43263]Among the issues discussed at the workshop were the
[43264]attempts of democratic and republican presidential candi-
[43265]dates to capitalize on minority group attitudes in regard
[43266]to the abortion movement and the fact that minority groups
[43267]all to often find themselves without a voice when real
[43268]issues are involved,
[43270]Of particular importance to the group was the
[43271]La Raza Unida Party, a legitimate political party in Texas
[43272]which serves to unite Mexican Americans, Of equal impor-
[43273]tance was the Gay Liberation Movement, which the group
[43274]felt expresses the plight of gay females who do not want
[43275]children and are forced to live with men because of the
[43276]mores of American society.
[43278]Attendees agreed that the one issue of abortion |
[43279]law.repeal will serve-to unite-worsn under-one batner-and’-”
[43280]more effectively serve the Yoren's Movement.
[43282]The convention adjourned after an agreement that
[43283]an "Abortion Action Week" would be held May 1 - 6, 1972,
[43284]This action would serve to keep public attention focused
[43285]on the need to legalize abortion and to seek effective
[43286]support from the many thousands of women who want to right
[43287]to choose,

[44411]II. ACTIVITIES
[44412]A. Conferences and Demonstrations
[44414]1. WONAAC Founding Conference was held in New York
[44415]City, New York, July 16-18, 1971. This conference called for
[44416]national demonstrations to be held en November 20, 1971, in
[44418]WDC and San Franciseo, California, around the theme of ''Repeal
[44420]of All Abortion Laws."
[44421](WP T-1, 7/21/71)
[44423]a. On November 20, 1971, approximately 1,500 women,
[44424]representing womens liberation groups from the East Coast and
[44425]Mid-West, gathered om the Ellipse in V9C, in ressense to the
[44426]call by WONAAC to march on the United States Capitol to demand
[44427]the reveal of all abortion laws, This grouv devarted the
[44428]Ellipse at approximately 10:30 a.m. on that date and marched
[44430]along Pennsylvania Avewe, NW, to tie west sice of tie Capitol.
[44432]Building. There the marchers: “Resembled for a.rally which
[44433]concluded at approximately 4:00 p.m. on the same date. There
[44434]were no incidents of violence and the march and rally were
[44435]peaceful throughout.
[44437](WF T-1, 11/23/71)
[44439]b. On January 13, 1972, a WONAAC sponsored demonstra-
[44440]tion was held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the vicinity of
[44441]42nd Street and Times Square, New York City, New York protesting
[44442]all abortion laws. Approximately 50 individuals participated

[44458]and the demonstration ended without incident.
[44460](Physical observation, Special
[44461]Agents, FBI, 1/13/72)
[44463]2. Second WONAAC Conference was held in Boston,
[44464]Massachusetts, February 11-13, 1972. Approximately 1,300
[44465]women attended the conference, which once again re-established
[44466]and reiterated WONAAC's call for abortion on demand. It was
[44467]noted during the conference that WONAAC had been unable to
[44468]create anything like a national campaign and that local meetings
[44470]pointed out that WONAAC had failed to attract the large numbers
[44471]of working women, housewives, and students concerned with the
[44472]abortion issue, including the majority of women's liberationists
[44473]and abortion reform activists. It was felt that the movement
[44474]could not succeed without the support of the working women.
[44476]‘At the close of the conferere, WONAAC strongly endorsed
[44477]the "Abortion Rights Act of 1972,'' wnich\is to be introduced in
[44478]the U. S. Congress by Congresswoman BELLA \ABZUG from New York.
[44479]This bill would override all laws which impose sanctions upon ” ok
[44480]those who choose to exercise their individual right to an abortion.

[44488]judicial action, and culminating in local or regional demonstra-
[44489]tions on May 6, 1972, around the demand for repeal of all anti-
[44490]abortion laws and restrictive contraception laws and an end to
[44491]forced sterilization.

[48266]..state laws restricting abortion = "The Abortion Rights
[48268]4ot of 1972", to be introduced by United States Congress=
[48269]woman BELLA ABZUG from New York. The article reported
[48270]thet discussion at the conference had centered around
[48271]whether or not to adopt the slogan "Free Abortion on
[48272]Demand; No Forced Sterilization" or to focus on a
[48274]single issue - repeal of the abortion laws. It further
[48275]reported that s proposal was presented for an Abortion

[48745]woman elected to Congress, she voted against
[48746]World War I. She has consistently maintained
[48747]her struggle for peace, and at 86 she is as coura
[48748]geous and vigorous as ever--an inspiration to all
[48749]women,
[48751]The presence of the United States forces in the in}
[48752]ernal struggle of Vietnam is immoral and illegal.
[48753]There can be no possible justification for our inte
[48754]ference in the domestic affairs of this tiny distant
[48755]land.
[48757]This 86-year-old woman has stated that she is wil
[48758]ing to stay in jail until the bombing is stopped. N
[48759]all women are free to join her, but we can assure
[48761]beside her. Some will picket, others will go to je
[48762]with Miss Rankin. Every woman's participation i
[48763]equally valuable. We are confident each one will
[48764]the maximum of which she is capable.
[48766]On January 8th, women from all over the land wil
[48767]converge on Washington to demand the end of this
[48768]dishonorable war. We shall come as individuals,
[48769]or as organizations, but we shall join together as

[50777]BRIGADE FORMED TO CONFRONT CONGRESS
[50779]Helena, Montana
[50780]November 27, 1967
[50782]To all American Women:
[50784]I am proud of the fact that my first
[50785]vote cast in Congress was a vote
[50786]against war. It was the first oppor-
[50787]unity for a woman to vote, because I
[50788]was the first woman to be elected to
[50789]Congress.
[50791]I believed then, as I do today,
[50792]that women are the ones that must be
[50793]concerned with the needs and develop-
[50794]ment of the human race. JI have always
[50795]fought for the dignity of all human
[50796]baings - for those of the present as
[50797]well as those of future generations.
[50799]I will continue to struggle as long
[50800]as I live. I hope all women will res-
[50801]pond to the following call and join me
[50802]in Washington on January 8, 1968, the
[50803]opening day of Congress.
[50805]Jeannette Rankin
[50807]A CALL TO ALL AMERTCAN WOMEN who
[50808]are outraged by the ruthless slaughter
[50809]in Vietnam and the persistent neglect
[50810]of human needs at home TO COME TO
[50811]WASHINGTON ON JANUARY 8
[50813]AMERICAN WOMEN represent 51% of the
[50814]voting population of our country.
[50815]AMERICAN WOMEN have the power to a-
[50816]chieve peace and a decent life for
[50817]every American. This is woman power!
[50819]Demonstrate it to the Congress of the
[50820]United States! Come to Washington on
[50821]January 8 as Congress opens in joint
[50822]session. Support Jeannette Rankin as
[50823]she leads a representative delegation
[50824]of American women to the Capitol to
[50825]demand that:
[50826]SCongress, as its first order
[50827]of business, resolve to end
[50828]the war in Victnam and immedi-
[50829]ately arrange for the with-
[50830]drawal of ail American troops.
[50831]*CGongress use its power to make
[50832]reparations for the ravaged land
[50833]we leave behind in Vietnam.
[50834]*Congress listen to what the
[50835]American people are saying and
[50836]refuse the insatiable demands of
[50837]the military-industrial complex.
[50839]WOMEN OF AMERICA, our power is un-
[50841]limited. On January 8, American women
[50842]will: .
[50844]*PETITION the United States Con-
[50846]gress . . .
[50847]*CONVENE a Congress of American
[50848]Women that afternoon to develop
[50850]- programs to meet the crisis in
[50851]America - programs which will
[50852]express our political power,
[50853]reason and conscience.

[51050]American women", announcing a proposed march on Washington,
[51051]D. C., on January 8, 1968, when the United States Congress
[51052]opens in joint session. This march would be to demand that
[51053]| . Congress, as its first order of business, resolve to end
[51054]| ‘ the war in Vietnam and immediately arrange for the with-
[51055]drawal of all American troops. (A xerox duplication of the
[51056]first page of the above-mentioned December 1967 issue of
[51057]"Ta Wisp", containing this "Call", is appended to this
[51058]memorandum, )
[51060]The partial list of JRB sponsors included in this
[51061]issue of the "La Wisp", contained the names of only two
[51062]women presently active in the Southern California area,
[51063]Mary Clarke (see characterization of her in the apvendix
[51064]page on WSP), and motion picture actress Leslie Parrish.

[51112]are making office space and telephones in their Los Angeles
[51113]headquarters, 5899 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles available
[51114]for this purpose. Spearheading the local committee are

[51173]which they visited as representatives of WSP during the , one
[51174]fall of 1967. —
[51176]Source Four advised during the summer of 1965
[51177]that June Sunderland, 3730 Hollister Avenue,
[51179]. Santa Barbara, Califor nia, had attended a 1967
[51180]"peace conference" in Helsinki, Finland, at the
[51181]invitation of the Communist Party (CP), and that
[51183]funds to cover her expenses were raised in part
[51184]by the CP; and that following her attendance at
[51185]the Helsinki affair she went on to Russia for ten
[51186]days at the invitation and expense of the Soviet
[51187]Government.
[51191]Source One learned that a communication was re-
[51192]ceived from eastern sponsors of the JRB on December 7, 1967,
[51193]indicating that the JRB march on Washington might not be
[51194]held on January 8, 1968, but possibly would be set back until
[51195]either the 15th or 22nd of January 1968, depending upon
[51196]the date that the United States-Congress would reconvene.
[51198]The communication indicated that since the entire purpose .
[51199]of the Brigade would be to confront the opening joint session
[51200]of Congress that it would be futile to schedule the march
[51201]prior to the date Congress would reconvene. The suggestion
[51202]was made that recruitment of local women to participate in
[51203]the SRB be held in abeyance until a confirmation had been
[51204]obtained indicating the date on which Congress would reconvene.
[51206]a Source One, had indicated that although the "Cail",

[52033]at which TAIMI HALONEN was nominated to be the new Chairman of
[52034]this Club. Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN
[52035]said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP;
[52036]an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven
[52037]members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but
[52038]Gid not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an
[52039]organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she 7
[52040]could help. ‘
[52042]On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of
[52043]the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963.

[52049]Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political
[52051]questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he
[52053]said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign
[52055]into the election campaign. At another Section meeting,
[52057]February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective
[52059]peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace oe
[52060]forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting
[52062]SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue. _

[52687]A source advised that on October 26-27, 1963, a con-
[52688]ference of members of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) , including
[52689]National functionaries, met in Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose
[52690]of setting in motion forces for the establishment of anew national
[52691]Marxist -oriented youth organization which weule hunt for the most
[52692]peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates were told that it
[52693]would be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted
[52694]into this new organization would eventually pass into the CP
[52696]itself.
[52698]A second source has advised that the founding convention
[52699]for the new youth organization was held from June 49-21, 1964,
[52700]at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, Califoeniza, at which
[52701]time the name W.E.B.DuBois Clubs of America (DCA) was adopted.
[52702]Approximately 500 delegates from throughout the United States
[52703]attended this convention.
[52705]The second source advised in Sept ember, 1966, that MIKE
[52706]ZAGARELL, CPUSA Youth Director, stated that in Negro communities
[52707]the Party still supported the plan to build "left® socialist
[52708]centers and to solidify the Party base through tne DCA. This
[52709]scurce also advised in Septewber, 1966 that DAN SL RUBIN, CPUSA
[52710]National Organizational Secretary, stated the Party believes
[52711]the DCA should have a working-class outlook and be a mass organiz-
[52712]ation favorable to socialism, socialist countries: and Marxism,
[52713]and in April, 1967, advised GUS HALL, CPUSA General Secretary,
[52714]had indicated the DCA primary emphasis should be on developing
[52715]mass resistance to the draft.
[52717]A third- source advised in September, 1967, that JARVIS
[52718]TYNER was elected chairman of the DCA on September 10, 1967, at
[52719]the Third National Convention of the DCA held in New York, New
[52720]York, from September 8-10, 1967.
[52722]A fourth source advised during August, 1967, that JARVIS
[52723]TYNER is a member of the National Committee of the CPUSA,
[52725]‘A fifth source advised on ‘September 21, 1367, that the
[52727]headquarters of the DCA is located at 34 West Lith Street , New
[52728]York, New York.

[52791]Women Strike for Peace ne
[52793]The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
[52794]general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
[52795]contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
[52796]edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-
[52798]cern mounted over radioactive fallout from nuclear
[52799]testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
[52800]Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
[52801]out the country and now embraces 900 groups, ineluding
[52802]Women For Peace groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
[52804]These groups support programs to achieve goals such as:
[52806](1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
[52807](2) A strong and flexible United Nations.
[52809](3) Planning now at state and national levels for
[52810]conversion to peace-~time economy and positive
[52811]efforts to ease world tensions.
[52813]The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
[52814]actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
[52815]the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
[52816]suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co-
[52817]ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
[52818]peace groups is encouraged. Monthly Coordinating Committee
[52819]meetines and general meetings, as warvanted, are open to
[52820]all and annecunced in mailings to memsers. There are no
[52821]dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.
[52823]To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Yomen For
[52824]Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
[52825]local schools and sponsor peace~oriented demonstrations
[52826]and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
[52827]candicates for public effiee. On the national level
[52828]the g-cup attempts to influence government officials
[52830]by letters and conferences.

[53555]A source advised on November 14 and 17, 19583 that a meeting of the
[53556]District Education Commission, Communist Party of Eastern Pennsylvania and
[53557]Delaware (CPEPD), was held November 13, 1958 at 3425 Powelton Avenue, Phila-
[53558]delphia. At this meeting, DANIEL RUBIN, the District Education Director,
[53559]presented a proposal for a series of forums under the nominal sponsorship of
[53560]the Philadelphia Social Science Forwn Committee (PSSFC). The source stated
[53561]that PSSFC was merely a paper organization and this series of forums was
[53562]organized by the District Education Commission and had to be- approved by the
[53563]District Committee (CPEPD) before being put into effect.
[53565]“This source stated on June 12, 1959, November 5, 1959, and October 21,
[53566]1960 that the PSSFC remained under the control of the District Education
[53567]Commission, CPEPD.
[53569]A second source reported on October 9, 1941, that the District Execu-
[53570]tive Committee (DEC), CPEPD, met on October 2, 1961, and approved plans to hold
[53571]and to support a new series of forums of PSSFC beginning November 10; 1961, and
[53572]ending in May, 1962.
[53574]The second source cn May &, 1964, advised that the main purpose of the
[53575]PSSFC is to bring to Philadelphia well known speakers who -have a pro-Communist
[53576]point of view. Included among the speakers each ysar are national leaders of
[53577]the Communist Party, USA.
[53579]The second eource added on May 15, 1967 that the PSSFC continued to
[53580]meet during 1962 through 1967 and that it remains under the control of the CPEPD,

[54347]Dear Friend: ae
[54349]We are sending this letter to you and others from whom we have not heard much
[54350]recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace
[54352]movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
[54353]and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,
[54355]Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all fee] occasionally,
[54356]as we learn of the mounting horrors in Victnam. But this feeling is only
[54357]temporary, and quickly gives way to activity. As women, we bear the major
[54358]responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility
[54360]in the peace movement,
[54362]mnclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
[54363]for peace. Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
[54364]to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
[54365]effort, to insure representaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon
[54367]on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,
[54369]t .
[54371]In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration

[55563]and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,
[55565]Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all feel occasionally,
[55566]as we learn of the mounting horrors in Vietnam. But this feeling is only
[55567]temporary, and quickly gives way to activity, As women, we bear the major
[55568]responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility
[55570]in the peace movement,
[55572]Enclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
[55573]for peace, Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
[55574]to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this

[56907]in order to do this, all the organizations comprising the
[56908]JRB will have to pledge money to get the women to Washington, D.C.
[56909]and back to Los Angeles, California.
[56911]Source one stated that three committees have been
[56912]established within the JRB. One of these committees has
[56913]been established to draw up a list of redress of grievances.
[56914]Each branch of the JRB throughout the nation will, when
[56915]gathered in Washington, D.C, as a main committee, decide
[56916]the major grievances and the redress of grievances will be
[56917]incorporated into a petition to be presented to Congress.
[56919]The second committee will be to involve the people in the
[56920]black community in the demonstration. The third committee is
[56921]to act as a coordinating committee.

[56948]and other women making the trip will pay all their own
[56949]expenses. No expenses are contemplated while the women are
[56951]in Washington, D.C. inasmuch as arrangements have been made
[56952]for the women to stay with other WSP members in the
[56953]Washington, D.C. area. Source one advised that it is
[56954]contemplated all the women will stay in Washington, D.c. until
[56955]Tuesday, January 16, 1967.
[56957]Source one advised it was reported the women from
[56958]across the nation would gather at the Union Depot, Washington, D.C.
[56959]at 11:30 A.M. on January 15, 1968. Source one further reported
[56960]it is hoped ten thousand women will participate in the
[56961]demonstration. After the gathering at Union Depot, the women
[56962]will march in solemn procession, all wearing black, to the
[56963]steps of the capitol building where the petition containing
[56964]the redress of grievances will be presented to the Congress.
[56965]Source one further advised it had been reported that Representative
[56966]Me Cormick and Senator Mansfield had agreed to receive the
[56967]petition. Representative Me Cormick, according to source one,
[56968]had agreed to accept fifteen women in his office at which time
[56969]he would receive the petition, but source one advised the
[56970]JRB now wants Representative Mc Cormick and Senator Mansfield
[56971]to accept the petition on the steps of the capitol building
[56972]in order that they might get news coverage. After the petition
[56973]has been presented, the JRB wants the redress of grievances
[56974]read into the Congressional Record.
[56976]Further activities | of the JRB while in Wasnington, D.C.
[56977]are to includé a three hour "Women's Congress", possibly on the
[56978]grounds of Georgetown University.
[56980]Mary Clarke pointed out that although the original
[56981]intention had been to have only those women participate
[56982]in the JRB who were willing to risk arrest for civil disobedience,
[56983]she stated at the above meeting that no civil disobedience is
[56984]anticipated in view of the large number of organizations
[56985]participating who are opposed to such civil disobedience,
[56986]However, she further stated that individuals are not going to
[56987]be discouraged who might elect to create civil disobedience,

[57063]A source advised on May 22, 1967, that the
[57064]premises of the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, 2936
[57065]West 8th Street, Los Angeles, California, have been utilized
[57066]for meetings by Communist Party members and sympathizers over
[57067]& period of years. Speakers and lecturers at.the church
[57068]frequently espouse Communist causes or follow the Communist
[57069]Party line, Communist front group literature is distributed
[57070]at the church. The church is used by some Communist Party
[57071]members for "mass concentration” work.
[57073]This same infiltration extends to adjuncts of
[57074]the church such as the Unitarian Public Forum and -the Fellow-
[57075]ship for Social Justice, formerly known as the Unitarian-
[57076]Universalist Fellowship for Social Justice.
[57078]STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN has been minister of the
[57079]church since 1948,
[57081]Reverend STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN is described in
[57082]the Fourth Report, Un-American Activities Committee in
[57083]California, 1948, page 115, as a very active "Communist
[57084]fronter" and connected with numerous “Communist front organi-~-
[57085]zations and activities."
[57087]Membership in the First Unitarian Church does not,
[57089]of itself, connote membership in or sympathy with the Communist
[57090]Party.

[57776]WASHINGTON, D. C,
[57777]JANUARY.15, 1968
[57779]A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
[57780]information in the past, advised on January 4, 1968, that
[57781]the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB) with headquarters at
[57782]133 West 72nd Street, New York City, originally scheduled
[57783]a demonstration in Washington, D.C. on January 8, 1968, to
[57784]coincide with the opening of Congress. In view of the
[57785]fact that the reconvening of Congress was delayed until
[57786]January 15, 1968, the organization rescheduled the
[57787]demonstration for that date, The source stated that the
[57788]JRB is composed mostly of members of Women Strike for
[57789]Peace, a pacifist organization and is using the name of
[57790]the JRB only for this one affair,
[57792]The above source stated that individuals are to-
[57793]meet at Union Station in Washington, B.C., at approximately
[57794]11:30 a.m. on January 15, 1968, and then walk in a "silent
[57795]procession" to the United States Capitol. Literature sent
[57796]out by the local office of Women Strike for Peace indicate
[57797]that the women will assemble at Union Station at the above
[57798]time and "in solemn procession and wearing black, we will
[57799]walk to the Capitol steps behind our delegation who will
[57800]present our *"Women’s Petition to the Congress"* demanding
[57801]redress of grievances,"
[57803]According to the source, the group wanted to have
[57804]Speaker of the House McCormick and Senator Mansfield meet
[57805]them on the Capitol steps and accept the above mentioned
[57806]petition, Thereafter, the women would visit both the Senate
[57807]and the United States House of Representatives and confer

[57824]with individual Congressmen in their offices, These women
[57826]were to attempt to persuade Congressmen to lend their support
[57828]to end the war in Vietnam, The source indicated that the
[57829]organization had’ written to Speaker McCormick and Senator
[57830]Mansfield asking to be met on the Capitol steps but Speaker
[57831]McCormick had answered by stating that he could not meet —
[57832]them on the steps but he would be willing to receive a
[57833]delegation of ten to fifteen women in his office on that
[57834]date. The source stated that Senator Mansfield had not.
[57835]replied to their request. ,
[57837]- The source stated that some of the women in the
[57838]JRB want to commit acts of civil disobedience so that they
[57839]may be arrested but most of the individuals involved do
[57840]not think it advisable to commit acts of civil disobedience,
[57841]The source stated that at no time have any specific details
[57842]been mentioned as to the acts of civil disobedience which -
[57843]might be committed. The source stated that following the
[57844]visit to Congress, the women would like to hold a meeting
[57845]sometime between 2 p.m, and 6 p,m, at some logical site in
[57846]Washington, D.C. Source stated that negotiations are
[57848]under way to rent the D,C, Armory for that time and they.
[57849]have the money available for such rental but some of the
[57850]leaders object to a clause in the contract which would
[57851]allow the Armory to. cancel the reservation at -any time.
[57853]The source stated that negotiations are also underway
[57855]to rent a ballroom at the Shoreham Hotel.
[57857]According to the source, 3,000 women are expected
[57858]to participate in the above demonstration with most of them
[57859]coming by train from New, York City. The source stated that
[57860]SylviatLichtenstein has been ‘appointed coordinator of the
[57861]demons.tration, :
[57863]- ‘ A second source, who has furnished
[57864]reliable information in the past,
[57865]advised on July 10, 1951, that Sylvia
[57866]Lichtenstein was a ’ member of the Newspaper
[57867]Club of the Communist Party in the District
[57868]of Columbia from 1947 to 1950,

[57884]; Captain Robert Krahling, United States Capitol
[57886]Police, advised on January 3, 1968, that a delegation from
[57888]the IRB and their attorney, joseph YForer, met with officials
[57890]of the United States Capitol Police on January 2, 1968, | .;
[57891]concerning details of the proposed demonstration. These nl
[57892]individuals were advised by the United States Capitol Police .:
[57894]that they cannot demonstrate on the Capitol grounds in - tdi
[57896]a group or carry placards, as such activity is prohibited
[57897]by rules of Congress, Forer, as attorney for the group,”
[57898]advised the officials that these women will be coming to
[57899]the Capitol as individuals and although they will be walking
[57900]together they can only be kept out of the Capitol building
[57902]if the police exclude all visitors from the United States
[57903]Capitol, Forer argued that such a demonstration on the’
[57904]Capitol grounds is not a violation of the law by the
[57905]participants but a violation of the United States Government
[57906]in refusing to allow its citizens to present their grievances
[57907]to Congress.
[57909]Captain Krahling advised that in addition to
[57910]Joseph Forer, the members of the above delegation included

[58220]The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
[58221]general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
[58222]contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
[58223]edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-
[58225]cern mounted over radioactive fallout. from nuclear
[58226]testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
[58227]Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
[58228]out the country and now embraces 900 groups, including
[58229]Women For Peate groups in the San Francisco Bay area.
[58231]These groups support programs to achieve goals such as:
[58232](1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
[58233](2) A strong and flexible United Nations. -
[58235](3) Planning now at state and national levels for
[58236]conversion to peace-time economy and positive
[58237]efforts to ease world tensions.
[58239]The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
[58240]actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
[58241]the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
[58242]suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co--
[58243]ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
[58244]peace groups is encouraged. Monthly Coordinating Committee
[58245]meetings and general. meetings, as warranted, are open to
[58246]all and announced in mailings to members, There are no
[58247]dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.
[58249]To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Women For
[58250]Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
[58251]local schools and sponsor peace-oriented demonstrations
[58252]and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
[58253]candidates for public office. On the national level
[58254]the group attempts to influence government officials
[58256]by letters and conferences.

[59354]CHICAGO COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-SOVIET
[59355]AMGLATIONS, Formerly known as Chicago
[59356]Vouncil of American-Soviet Friendship
[59358]EDWIN GORDON. FOX, 7147 Jeffrey Avenue, Chicago,
[59359]Illinois, (now deceased) made available in January, 1954, the
[59360]"First Annual Report CCASF," an undated publication which
[59361]stated that the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship
[59362](CCASF) was incorporated in July, 1943. This document stated,
[59363]"The Council's affiliation with the National Council of
[59364]American-Soviet Friendship (NCASF) was validated August 11,
[59365](1943), The present name was adopted to conform to standard
[59366]national practice. It should be noted, however, that the
[59367]Chicago Council is entirely autonomous; the government of its
[59368]affairs rests exclusively in the hands of its Chicago Executive
[59369]Board," ; ,
[59371]On April 8, 1965, a source furnished information to
[59372]the effect that as of March 11, 1965, this organization would
[59373]be known as the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Relations
[59374](CCASR). MANDEL TERMAN continued to be listed as Chairman of
[59375]the new organization.
[59377]During April, 1965, a second source advised that
[59378]MANDEL TERMAN had arbitrarily dissolved the Board of Directors,
[59379]assumed all financial and other functions of the organization,
[59380]and was maintaining existing records of the organization at
[59381]his residence, 660 West Irving Park Road, Chicago, Tllinois.
[59382]The aims and purposes of this organization continued to be
[59383]to work for peaceful ccexistence and friendship with the USSR.
[59384]While it claimed to be an autonomous .organization, its program
[59385]followed the NCASF and it was in frequent contact with the
[59386]NCASF.
[59388]On November 5, 1958, a third source advised that in
[59389]the early 1940s, MANDEL TERMAN was a member-at-large of the

[59431]anniversary of the Russian Revolution under a temporary
[59432]committee called “The Chicago Committee for American-Soviet
[59433]Friendship Rally.'' This rally was held cn November 7, 1965,

[59439]time the CCASR is defunct in the Chicago area and any future
[59440]rally to be held on the American-Soviet friendship theme will
[59441]have to be organized by the CP of Tllinois on a temporary

[59479]A source advised on May 9, 1967, that it was his
[59480]understanding that the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was
[59481]formed around 1936 in New York City, and that the Chicage
[59482]Chapter of the NLG (CCNLG), which is affiliated with the
[59483]national group in-New York, was formed shortly thereafter.
[59484]possibly in 1937 by a group of liberal progressive lawyers
[59485]in protest against activities of the American Bar Assecistion
[59486]Which they claimed was a non-liberal, non-progressive
[59487]organization. The CCNLG has no established headquarters kat

[59590]TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN,
[59592]Iam proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress
[59593]was a vote against war, It was the first opportunity for a
[59594]woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected
[59596]to Congress.
[59598]I believed then as I do today that women are the ones who
[59599]must be concerned with the needs and development of the
[59600]human race, I have always fought for the dignity of all
[59602]human beings ~~ for those of the present as well as those
[59604]of future generations,
[59606]TI will continue to struggle as long as I live.
[59608]I hope all women will respond to the following CALL, and
[59609]join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening
[59610]day of Congress.
[59612]With highest_hopes,

[59620]7. who are outraged by the ruthle'ss slaughter in Vietnam
[59621]and the persistent neglect of human needs at home
[59623]TO COME TO WASHINGTON JANUARY 15. & 16
[59625]AMERICAN WOMEN constitute 51% of the voting population, yet a high percentage of us don’t vote. -
[59626]It is time for-women to break out of their societal molds and take their place as effective, vocal citi-
[59627]zens. WOMEN CAN ELECT the President they want; Women can determine the political, social and
[59628]economic direction of the nation. WE HAVE WOMEN POWER. Let’s use it to demonstrate our
[59629]opposition to this war to the Congress of the United States.
[59631]We are a broad coalition of women from many areas of American life. We shall meet in Washington
[59632]on January 15 for the opening of Congress to demand the following:
[59634]1. CONGRESS, AS ITS FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS, RESOLVE TO END THE -
[59635]WAR IN VIETNAM AND IMMEDIATELY ARRANGE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL
[59636]OF ALL AMERICAN TROOPS.
[59637]. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO HEAL A SICK SOCIETY AT HOME.
[59638]3. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO MAKE REPARATION FOR THE RAVAGED
[59639]LAND WE LEAVE BEHIND IN VIETNAM.
[59641]4. CONGRESS LISTEN TO WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND
[59642]REFUSE THE INSATIABLE DEMANDS OF THE MILITARY—INDUSTRIAL
[59643]COMPLEX.
[59645]After we petition the United States Congress, we will hold our own congress to articulate our position
[59646]on the basic problem of achieving peace. We declare our intention to return to our communities and
[59647]mobilize women to dedicate ourselves to reshaping American society, and restoring our country toa
[59648]position of honor in the community of nations.
[59650]On January 15, we will meet at the Union Depot in Washington, D.C., at 11:30 A. M., and walk behind
[59651]our delegation which will present our petition to the U.S. Congress.
[59653]On January 16, many of us will stay in Washington to begin implementation of these demands by
[59654]presenting them to our Congressmen and Senators. We hope you can stay.

[59983]to New York, 7/12/72; and Philadelphia letter to the Bureau,
[59984]2/28/73.
[59986]As outlined in referenced New York letter, mec VE
[59987]New York Office noted, as far back as June, 1972, it .
[59988]recognized that, although several leaders of WONAAC were
[59989]known to be SWP members, their activities, as pertaining to
[59990]“MONAAC, had been directed towrd the legal repeal of all
[59991]restrictive abortion laws, and investigation had disclosed
[59993]no indication that WONAAC, as an organization, had engaged in
[59994]any subversive or vidence prone activity.
[59996]Referenced Bureau 0-7, referencing the aforementioned th
[59997]communication, nevertheless instructed that the New Yok Office,
[59998]as office of origin, had overall responsibility for captioned
[59999]organization, and directed the New York Office to reopen its a
[60000]ease and submit semi-annual reports. <o
[60002]A review of the results of the continuing investigation
[60003]of WONAAC, together with all indices and references pertaining
[60004]thereto, since June 1972, reflects no apparent change in the
[60005]activities or the organization @ its membership from that
[60006]outlined above.
[60008]H
[60009]q
[60011]The New York Office is in accord with the view of the
[60012]Philadelphia Division, as set forth in its referenced letter,
[60013]that WONAAC represents basically a social change vehicle which,
[60014]despite disparate political views of its leaders and membership,
[60015]deals with the single issue of abortion rights.,, a

[60038]In view of instructions set forth in Bureau

[60040]Bureau reiterated its policy that the FBI has no interest
[60041]in individuals and organizations involved in legitimate
[60042]dissent and the recent United States Supreme Court decision
[60043]upholding the right to abortion, it appears continued.
[60044]investigation of WONA‘C as such is not justified.
[60046]™he New York Office further concurs with the
[60047]Philadelphia view that continued investigati on of the SWP
[60048]and/or YSA would produce the desired cove-age and information
[60049]concerning its members who are associated or active in WONAAC.

[60177]I. ORGANIZATION OF BOSTON WOMEN'S

[60181]BOWAAC, the local affiliate of the
[60182]Women's National Abortion Action
[60183]Coalition (WONAAC), was formed out

[60189]members, it is controlled by members
[60190]of those groups.
[60192]WONAAC has been publicly described
[60193]as an organization of groups whose
[60194]aim is to effect the overthrow of
[60195]existing abortion laws and to demand
[60196]Free abortion on demand.
[60198]The SWP, Boston, is the local affiliate
[60199]and follows the aims and purposes of
[60200]the national SWP.

[60282]C. Activities
[60284]1
[60286]"Phe Militant,” a weekly newspaper of the ,
[60287]SWP, in its September 22, 1972, edition carried an
[60288]article entitled "Petition Filed for Vote on Abortion,"
[60289]which reported that representatives of an Abortion
[60290]Referendum Committee had announced on September 7, 1972,
[60291]the filing of a petition to allow Massachusetts citizens
[60292]to vote on whether abortion should be legalized.
[60293]According to the article, representatives of BOWAAC
[60294]were among supporters of this Abortion Referendum
[60295]Committee.
[60297]A leaflet entitled "Speak Outrage - A Woman's
[60298]Right to Choose a Public Hearing” was distributed to the
[60299]public in the general Boston area during October, 1972,
[60300]to advertise a meeting at the Boston University, Boston,
[60301]Law Auditorium under the joint sponsorship of BOWAAC and
[60302]Female Liberation on October 28, 1972. According to the
[60303]leaflet, women would testify at this gathering against
[60304]persons or institutions which nad victimized «hem with
[60305]legal or illegal abortions or had denied them contraception,
[60306]voluntary sterilization or good pre-natal care, or had
[60307]sterilized them without their knowledge or consent.
[60309]. Among the listed speakers was JANE ROLAND,
[60310]identified as a member of BOWAAC who was to speak on the
[60311]topic, "Summary and Indictments."
[60313]"The Militant" in its November 10, 1972,
[60314]edition carried an article which reported that on
[60315]October 28, 1972, 300 women had gathered at the Law
[60316]Auditorium of Boston University to hear testimony on
[60317]"Orimes Against Women." The article reported that the
[60318]program, entitled "Speak Outrage,“ was built by "Speak
[60319]Outrage Project,” a committee of individuals from several
[60320]groups in the Boston area, one of which was identified
[60321]ag BOWAAC,.
[60325]: |  )
[60327]BS 100-43809
[60329]The article reported that topics covered in
[60330]the testimony ranged from abortion to forced sterilization
[60331]to poor pre-natal care and that presentations were given
[60332]by women of diverse ages and economic and religious groups.
[60334]The "Observer," a campus newspaper of Tufts
[60335]University, Medford, Massachusetts, in its November 3,
[60336]1972, edition carried an article entitled "Groups Debate
[60337]Abortions," which reported that representatives from the.
[60338]"Value of Life Committee" and BOWAAC had met head on
[60339]November 1, 1972, at Tufts University to debate the issue
[60340]of legalized abortion. The article reported that JANE

[60468]Re: National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC)
[60469]Policy Council Meeting
[60471]Source, who has furnished reliable information in the
[60472]past, provided the following information on July 3,. 1972:
[60474]A Policy Council Meeting of the National Women's
[60475]Political Caucus (NWPC) was held in Washington, D.C. during
[60476]the period June 24, 1972 - dune 25, 1972.
[60478]The NWPC is a legitimate, loosely-knit, open
[60479]organization of politically motivated women
[60480]seeking equal recognition in the American
[60481]community.
[60483]During the Policy Council Meeting there were no
[60484]overt attempts: by any organized aroup to influence the nolicv
[60485]meeting and there were no individuals present who identified
[60486]themselves as members of any organization which might be construed
[60487]as subversive and/or suynporting any cause excent lecitimate
[60488]change.
[60490]t
[60491]Of significance, however, was the fact that literature aT
[60492]of the Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (WOMAAC) was |
[60493]present in brochures and pamphlets located throughout the meeting
[60494]area, All of the WOMAAC material was geared to the abortion
[60495]movement and specifically the WONAAC conference scheduled for
[60496]Hunter College, New York, July 15 - 16, 1972..
[60498]WONAAC was founded in July, 1971. for the purpose of
[60499]forming a national movement of groups scattered
[60500]throughout the United States who favor and -
[60501]now work to legalize abortion. The Young Socialist
[60502]Alliance (YSA) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
[60504]are playing a major role in WONAAC,.
[60506]The SWP has been designated pursuant to
[60507]Executive Order 10450, :

[60519]Re: NWPC Policy Council Meeting
[60521]As the youth organization of the SWP, the
[60522]YSA serves as the main source of récruitment into
[60523]that organization. The YSA is described in the
[60524]masthead of its official publication, "The Young
[60525]Socialist Organizer," as "a multinational
[60526]revolutionary socialist youth organization."
[60528]During the council meeting on June 24, 1972, Mary
[60529]Clarke, who is associated with the Southern California WPC,
[60530]an affiliate of the NWPC, advised a group of volicy -council
[60531]members that WONAAC had been using the Southern California WPC
[60532]name as an endorser of WONAAC. Clarke also stated that WONAAC
[60533]had passed out propaganda at a caucus rally in California and
[60534]were very effective at taking control of small gath 1erings.
[60536]The Chairwoman from Nassau County in New York, whose
[60537]name was not recalled, defended WONAAC stating that "thev were
[60538]a good group", This woman's position was not supported and,
[60539]in general, WONAAC literature was not accepted bv those versons
[60540]present, Jill Ruckelshaus, a new member of the Policy Council,
[60541]is reportedly concerned about the SWP's attempts to align
[60542]itself with the abortion movement and will be usine her newlv
[60543]gained position to fight SWP attempts at control of local
[60544]WPC groups.
[60546]The NWPC organizing brochure published by the NWPC
[60547]has been written to assist individual WPC groups in organizing.
[60548]The brochure lists political varties and para~-volitical
[60549]organizations to be contacted bv caucus organizers when forming
[60550]the nucleus of a WPC. Among those listed was the SWP. After
[60551]discussions at the caucus it was determined that the SWP should |
[60552]be removed from the list. The new edition of the “PC organizing ~*
[60553]brochure will not list the SWP; it has been replaced bv National
[60554]Peace Action Coalition (NPAC).
[60556]The NPAC was founded in 1970 by members of the SIP.
[60557]Its basic objective is to unite masses of people
[60558]including labor unions, GIs, and the black
[60559]comminity in the struggle to end United States
[60560]intervention in Southeast Asia through orderly and
[60561]peaceful tactics.

[60895]Confidential sources one, two and three, all of
[60896]whom have furnished reliable information in the past, advised
[60897]on July 18, 19, and 20, 1972, respectively, that a Women's
[60898]National Abortion Action Coalition GRHALC} Conference was
[60899]held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street, on
[60900]Juiy 15 and 16, 1972. .
[60902]Confidential source number one advised that
[60903]New York City was’picked for the site of this convention
[60904]because this city is considered to be the center of the most
[60905]powerful anti-abortinn effort so far. 2
[60907]Tne WONAAC Conference was open to all women
[60908]who supported the Abortion Law Repeal Movement. Registration
[60909]was $3.00 per person, Housing and child care facilities were
[60910]available. There were approximately 800 women in attendance
[60911]at this conference,
[60913]Discussions Wald at this conference centered on
[60914]plans for (onérfuture activity in the campaign to repeal
[60915]all anti~abortion and contraception laws and éwo}to end
[60916]forced sterilization,
[60918]A discussion was held concerning the attacks
[60919]being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
[60920]anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their
[60921]own bodies.
[60923]WONAAC Ils aware of the fact that progress for
[60924]these matters will not come easy,:that it will be fought by
[60925]varlous groups step by step all the way, therefore, this
[60926]conference was called to discuss all.the different approaches

[61022]propased agenda set forth by the Korking Committee,
[61023]mentioned abave, with the exception of a change in
[61024]the lunch hour and some of the workshop schedules.
[61026]Prior to the Seturday conference, a Socialist
[61027]Workers Party - Young Socialist Alliance (SWP~Y¥SA) Fraction
[61028]meeting was held at the Belmont Placa Hotel on 4Gth Street
[61029]and Lexington Avenue at AM. ‘Those in ettendance at this
[61030].Faction meeting were SVP~YSA comrades from NYC and from
[61031]out of town. YThe discussion at this -FPacticon meeting centered
[61032]on the precedure to be followed at the conference by the
[61033]YSA~SUP members in terms of voting on various workshops and
[61034]wnat stend to take which vould be more baneficial for the
[61035]YSA-SWP. This > faction meeting was concluded at aporoximately

[61038]: The WORAAC Courterence procedure continued
[61040]uninterrupted with votes on various flgpr discussions +
[61041]until an interruption was made by Rose/fWeber, a WONAAC A
[61042]coordinator. She addressed all YSA-SWP members at the
[61043]conference, asking them vhat.was thelr reali reasen for
[61045]being in attendance at the WONAAC Conference. She
[61047]sccuged the YSA-~SWP of not being sincerely interested
[61049]in abortion rights, but rather being interested in what
[61051]was best for the SYP-YSA. She stated that <-because of
[61053]the YSA-SiVP influence being enforced on ths conference,
[61055]she was resigning as a VOHAAC coordinator and staff member,
[61057]She stated that she detested the intervention of the YSA-SwP
[61059]in this conrerence; that the SYP-YSA has caused conflict among
[61060]the WOMAAC staff and therefore, they cannot work out eonstructive
[61061]sclutions to their problems. She also suggested that the "Zero
[61062]Population" and planned parenthood have no voice in discussions
[61063]at this conference. Finalizing her accusations, she stated the
[61064]YSA-SWP members had no mind of their own nor did they have any
[61065]¥reedon of expression of thelr own. She stated that they only

[61093]aecucation, denness stated that all members of the YSA-SWP
[61094]were independent individuals with their ovn oreonal ideas
[61095]and viewpoints.
[61097]On July 15, 1972, a proposal wasmssedby the
[61098]Election Workshop which stated in part as tellows:
[61100]"WORAAC welcomes wemon from all political
[61101]affilfations and views. We are united in ection to

[61115]across to great numbers of women. Besides allowing us an
[61116]opportunity to force the candidates to take @ public stand
[61117]on abortion, these gatherings give us a chance to publicize

[61198]expenses of the National Office and staff..."
[61200]Confidential dJource number two related that the
[61201]evening plenary session of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972,
[61202]and it was immediately apparent that the Socialist .
[61203]Workers Party - Young Scoialist Alliance (SWP-YSA) group
[61204]dominated the meeting. Independent women who wanted to make
[61205]statements during this session were voted down by SWP floor
[61206]leaders and these same persons eontinued to vote as a bloc
[61207]on all issues
[61209]The group of independent women from various geogra-
[61210]phic areas, that is those women who were not associated with the
[61211]SWP or YSA, went together after the plenary session was adjourned
[61212]and considered the problem of.how to handle the SWP leaders,
[61213]While these women were not political realists in their goals,
[61214]they did believe in working throughout the existing system
[61215]rather than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal
[61216]of revolution,
[61218]It was decided that the independent feminists would
[61219]no longer continue hasSjing within WONAAC. They did not want
[61220]to have decisions for them oveing structured by a male dominated
[61221]group. Tney also decided that money being collected by WONAAC
[61222]in the name of abortion law change was not being used for that
[61223]purpose, but rather to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.
[61225]The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
[61226]labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles. About 35
[61227]independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members and
[61228]sympathizers were present. Independents there were from New
[61229]Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and

[61244]The independents did not waiver in their firm opposition
[61245]to SWP-YSA control @ WONAAC. Six national coordinators of ;
[61246]\ WONAAC were independents and decided to resign publicly at
[61248]the afternoon plenary session, They also decided to combat

[61262]There were approximately 700-800 women in attendance -
[61263]at the afternoon session. According to one of the SwWP
[61264]leaders, these women were from 31 states and three countries~ .
[61265]Canada, Italy and’ Sweden. The states that had more representation
[61266]than others were Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts.
[61268]Most of the problems and differences between the
[61269]independents and the SWP centered around approaches to abortion
[61270]law reform, The SWP was charged with always having demonstra-
[61271]tions and rallies and never doing any work through the legis-
[61272]lative process,
[61274]The independents stated that they were tired of this
[61275]hassle and that they believed there were more effective ways
[61276]to change abortion laws than carrying placards in the streets,
[61278]After the independent women publicly resigned in
[61279]front of the plenary session, two other coordinators announced
[61280]they were staying on. One was Barbara Roberts, the other's
[61281]name is unknown,
[61283]Linda Jenness made a final plea for the independent
[61284]women to reconsider. The removal of the independents from WONAAC
[61285]has debilitated the organization and most independent representa-
[61286]tives will be going back to their own cities to work for abortion
[61287]law change in organizations which have no connection with the
[61288]SWP,
[61290]The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
[61291]be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform and

[61310]there is also the concern that women new to the movement will
[61311]join in a mistaken notion that they will be furthering
[61312]abortion law reform.
[61314]Independents vowed before leaving New York that
[61315]they would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
[61316]effort to prevent this. .
[61318]As the youth orgenization of the Socialist
[61319]Workers Party (SWP), the YSA serves as the
[61320]main source of recruitment into that organ~
[61321]ization. The YSA is deseribed in the masthead
[61322]of its official publication, "The Young

[61521]PHILADELPHIA WOMEN'S NATIONAL
[61522]ABORTION ACTION COALITION —
[61524]PH T-1 advised on May 25, 1972, that Women United for
[61525]Abortion Rights (WUAR), 1115 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.,
[61526]telephone WA-2-0381, is the local affiliate of Women's National
[61527]| Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) and that about two weeks ago
[61528]WUAR decided to change their name from WUAR to Philadelphia Women's
[61529]National Abortion Action Coalition (Philadelphia WONAAC) and that
[61530]they intended to utilize the same office space at 1115 Walnut
[61531]Street and the same telephone number. PH T-1 added that this
[61532]! change was made inasmuch as the name WUAR was found to be unwieldy
[61533]and awkward and that it did not convey the group's affiliation with
[61534]WONAAC as well as the new name Philadelphia WONAAC.
[61536]An article in "The Sunday Bulletin," Section 2, pages
[61538]6 and 7, issue of October 31, 1971, listed the various candidates
[61539]for political office in the City of Philadelphia in connection with
[61540]the forthcoming elections. Photographs of the following individuals
[61541]appeared and background information contained under each individual
[61542]photograph indicated that all were members of the Socialist
[61544]Workers Party (SWP) and that they were also affiliated with the

[61582]The SWP has been designated pursuant to Executive
[61583]Order 10450,
[61585]PH T-2 made available information on January 27, 1972
[61586]which reflected that as of that time the Coordinator of WUAR

[61594]PH T-1 advised on May 25, 1972 that it is difficult
[61595]to determine the actual degree of SWP participation in the affairs
[61596]of WONAAC in the Philadelphia area and that he was not aware of
[61597]any information which would reflect that Philadelphia WONAAC was
[61598]substantially controlled by the SWP. Source explained that the
[61599]abortion rights issue had frequently been discussed at many of the -
[61600]recent public forum type meetings sponsored by the Philadelphia
[61601]SWP and held at the Philadelphia SWP Headquarters at 1004 Filbert
[61602]Street in Philadelphia. The discussions held on the abortion
[61603]rights issue indicated that the SWP felt that the capitalistic
[61604]system had used the dual issues of abortion and women's liberation
[61605]to keep women in a position of inferiority, whereas the socialistic
[61606]system being promoted by the SWP would be in favor of abortion and
[61607]women's liberation, and WONAAC would therefore naturally attract
[61608]members of the SWP to their organization,

[61802]For the information of the Albany Division, the

[61806]roll in WONAAC throughout the United States, and inasmuch ,_-’-.
[61807]as information has been provided that WONAAC is, for the ,

[63182]publication, "The Young Socialist
[63183]Organizer", as "a Multi-National
[63184]Revolutionary Socialist Youth
[63185]Organization".

[63207]legal action, and nationally coordinated mass demonstrations
[63208]in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, on November 20, 1971,
[63209]for the repeal of all anti-abortion laws and corollary
[63210]demands of no forced sterilization, and the repeal of all
[63211]restrictive contraception laws. WONAAC claims to reach
[63212]all women, black; Chinaca; Latina; Asian; Puerto Rican;

[63229]EATON at telephone number 675-9150, located at 150 5th
[63230]Avenue, NYC, NY. EATON, who stated she is currently a
[63231]National Staff member of WONAAC, advised that the National

[63237]meetings of WONAAC are held every other Wednesday evening
[63238]at Religious Center at New York University, 2 Washington
[63239]Square North, NYC, NY. HEATON stated that most NY State
[63240]staff members are present at these meetings and at least
[63241]one or more National Staff members also try to be in
[63242]attendance. Other than this, state and national staffs
[63243]meet periodically, as business demands.

[63292]basis, receive no salary, and get only a small "subsistance
[63293]allowancé" which the staff has found necessary to supplement
[63294]with their own personal funds in order to get by. .
[63296]G WONAAC Affiliates
[63298]CAROL EATON stated there are presently 36 WONAAC
[63299]affiliates, also called "coalitions" throughout the US, and
[63300]that most states of the union are represented by an affiliate
[63301]or coalition,
[63303]Ii. YSA-SWP INFLUENCE AND CONTROL
[63304]OVER WONAAC
[63306]NY T-1 provided information on July 22,.1971,
[63308]that the First National Womens Abortion Conference was
[63310]held at Columbia University, NYC, NY, from July 16, 1971,
[63311]to July 18, 1971, which resulted in the founding of WONAAC.
[63312]NY T-1 stated that it was immediately apparent that this
[63313]conference was taken over and influenced by YSA-SWP members
[63314]who infiltrated the various conference committees and
[63315]workshops which were established to help formulate the
[63316]main direction the Coalition would follow in the future.
[63318]NY T-1 stated that it seemed certain the YSA-SWP would,
[63320]in the future, dictate policy for this organization and
[63322]Would be able to control the utilization of WONAAC funds.
[63324]on’ August 5, 1971, NY T-4 provided a leaflet
[63326]" captioned, "what Every Woman Should Know". This leaflet,
[63328]which was published by Feminist Organization for Communi-
[63329]cation; Action and Service (F.0.C.A.S.), related the following:
[63331]"The Womens National Abortion Coalition has
[63332]been called and organized by the SWP and its affiliate,
[63333]the YSA, including women supposedly representing Women's
[63335]amie ie
[63336]ORS,
[63338].- so tes m,
[63343]-SWP and YSA. These women attach more importance to their
[63344]political movement than.to the Women's Liberation Movement.
[63345]And when 77% of the women in this country are for reform
[63346]of abortion laws, there is fertile soil for a political: |
[63347]party to build itself on. The SWP/YSA realizes this and.
[63348]is taking advantage of it." : ,
[63350]On August 5, 1971, a leaflet
[63351]wed te ; captioned mE, 0.C.A.S." revealed
[63352]Ts . in part as follows:
[63354]TA nucleus of about eight feminists
[63355]have formed FOCAS, Feminist
[63356]Organization for Communication,
[63357]Action and Service. FOCAS evolved
[63358]from the Women's Strike Coalition
[63359](WSC), which the Socialist Workers
[63361]Party abruptly abandoned on May
[63362]25th in order to form the committee
[63363]for WONAAC. Since that time a
[63364]nucleus of women from WSC together
[63365]with like-minded feminists pre-
[63366]served the WSC in order to main-
[63367]tain and expand a multi~issue
[63368]action-oriented Women's Libera~
[63369]tion coalition in the NYC area.
[63371]Assisted by loans from supporting
[63372]feminists, the new WSC paid
[63373]back nearly a thousand of the
[63374]three thousand dollars of debts
[63375]incurred by the SWP women who
[63376]had controlled the old WSC.
[63378]The "Militant" issue of August 6, 1971, page five;
[63379]in an article entitled, “Abortion Campaign Counters Red-
[63380]Baiting", revealed in part, with respect to the founding
[63381]WONAAC conference in July, 1971:
[63383]"The Militant" is a weekly news-
[63384]paper of the SWP.

[63394]“There were many members of the SWP and YSA at the
[63395]conference, and SWPers and YSAers are among those who
[63396]have worked most consistently for abortion repeal and to
[63397]build the abortion conference...."
[63399]NY T-5 advised on November 12, “1971, that a NY
[63400]Planniiig Meeting of WONAAC was held at LOEB Student Center,
[63401]NY University, NY, on November 11, 1971, to lay plans
[63402]for a scheduled November 20, 1971 demonstration in Washington,
[63403]DC. According to this source, this meeting was completely
[63404]dominated and controlled by members of the SWP.
[63406]NY T-6 related on November 16, 1971, that the Upper
[63407]West Side Branch of the YSA planned to send a contingent
[63408]of its members to Washington, DC, on November 20, 1971,
[63409]in order to participate in the planned demonstration there
[63410]on that date. - -
[63412]: NY T-6 stated ‘that “practically all the members of the
[63413]uptown branch of the YSA, AY, were expected to participate
[63414]in this activity.
[63416]NY 5 related on January 20, 1972, that the scheduled
[63417]November 20, 1971 march in Washington was "crucial" to
[63418]all SWP and YSA branches in that. .it afforded an opportunity
[63419]for selling of "The Militant" and other SWP/YSA literature,
[63420]and also afforded an opportunity for "intervening " in the
[63421]action via distribution of SWP Election Campaign literature.
[63423]us NY 18 on February 11, 1972, and NY T-9 and NY T-10
[63424]on February 14, 1972, provided information that a WONAAC
[63425]convention was held February 11, 1972, to February 13, 1972,
[63427].at Hayden Hall, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts.
[63429]The general theme of this convention was "How to Win
[63430]Abortion Law Repeal". NY T-8 stated that approximately
[63431]30 members of the YSA or SWP Boston Chapters were observed.
[63432]in attendance at this convention.
[63434]WY T-7 velated on February 14, 1972, that because of the

[63461]tive is the immediate, total
[63462]and unconditional withdrawal
[63464]- of all US forces and material
[63465]tye in Southeast Asia.
[63467]. NY T-7 advised on various dates, March 23, 1972,
[63468]through October 17, 1972, that activities’ of WONAAC were
[63469]dutifully reported and included on the agenda at regular
[63470]meetings of the Upper West Side Branch, YSA-New York Local
[63471](YL) during that period.
[63473]oe NY T-5 advised on April 18, 1972, that the leader-
[63474]ship of WONAAC was then dominated by the SWP.
[63476]NY T-7 related on July 7, 1972, that at a WONAAC
[63477]meeting held June 27, 1972, at 706 Broadway, NYC, NY,
[63478]starting at 6:40 PM, it was announced that even though
[63479]WONAAC previously had accused various female activists
[63480]working along with them in the Women's Liberation struggle
[63481]of red baiting because of the stand they had taken against
[63482]the SWP~Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), at present they
[63483]are forced to work with these individuals to help strengthen
[63484]the WONAAC . cause. .
[63486]At this meeting, certain WONAAC staff members ;
[63487]walked out and voiced their disapproval of the meeting i
[63488]being taken over by a majority of SWP-YSA members. {
[63489]They indicated that the SWP-YSA has no yight to be ina
[63490]policy-making position in WONAAC.

[63503]i. NY T-7 on-July 18, 1972, and NY T~11 on July 19,
[63504]1972, provided information that a WONAAC conference was
[63505]held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street on
[63506]daly 15, 1972: and July 16, 1972.
[63508]NY rt -7 stated that NYC was picked as the site of
[63510]this convention because this city is considered to be
[63512]the center of the most powerful anti-abortion effort so far.
[63514]Sa Discussions®€!4 at this conference centered on
[63515]plans for (one)-future activity in the campaign to repeal
[63516]all anti-abortion and contraception laws and (two)-to
[63518]end forced sterilization.
[63520]"A ‘discussion was held concerning the attacks
[63521]being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
[63522]anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their own
[63523]bodies. :
[63525]; NY T-11 related that the evening plenary session
[63526]of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972, and it was immediately
[63527]apparent that the SWP-YSA groups dominated the meeting.
[63528]Independent women who wanted to make statements during
[63530]this session were voted down by SWP ‘floor leaders and
[63532]these same persons continued to vote as a block on all
[63533]issues.
[63535]' The group of independent women from various
[63536]geographic areas, that is, those women who were not
[63537]associated with the SWP or YSA, went together after the
[63538]plenary session was adjourned and considered the problem
[63539]| _ of how to handle the SWP leaders. While these women
[63540]‘were not political realists in their goals, they did
[63541]believe in working throughout the existing system rather
[63542]than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal of
[63543]revolution.
[63545]It was decided that the independent feminists
[63546]would no longer continue hassling within WONAAC. They
[63547]did not want to have decisions for them being structured
[63548]by a'‘male dominated group. They also decided that money

[63561]change was not being used for that purpose, but rather
[63562]to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.
[63564]_ The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
[63565]labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles." About 35
[63566]independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members
[63567]and sympathizers were present. Independents. there were
[63568]from New Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York (NY), Chicago,
[63570]Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
[63572]The independents did not waiver in their firm
[63573]Six national
[63575]ies opposition to SWP-YSA control of WONAAC.
[63577]3 coordinators of WONAAC were independents and decided to
[63579]a resign publicly at the afternoon plenary session. They
[63581]rs also decided to combat SWP control of the feminist move-
[63583]id ment through the various publications.

[63592]re) There were approximately 700-800 women in atten-
[63593]cy dance at the afternoon session. According to one of the
[63595]3 SWP leaders, these women were from 31 states and three
[63597]i couritries-Canada, Italy and Sweden. The states that had
[63598]FR, more representation than others were Ohio, Illinois, New
[63600]York and Massachusetts.
[63602]Most of the problems and differences between the
[63604]independents and the SWP centered around approaches to
[63605]abortion law reform. The SWP was charged with always
[63606]having demonstrations and rallies and never doing any
[63608]work through the legislative process.
[63610]The independents stated that they were tired of
[63612]this hassle and that they believed there were more ef-
[63613]fective ways to change abortion laws than carrying placards
[63615]in the streets.

[63636]from WONAAC has debilitated the organization and most
[63637]independent, representatives will be going back to their
[63638]own cities to work for abortion law change in organizations
[63639]which haye no connection with the SWP. .
[63641]The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
[63642]be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform
[63643]and there is also the concern that women new to the move-
[63644]ment will join in a mistaken notion that they will be”
[63645]furthering abortion law reform.
[63647]Independents vowed before leaving NY that they
[63648]would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
[63649]effort to prevent this.
[63651]IIT. OBSERVATION OF CURRENT NATIONAL
[63653]STAFF MEMBER REGARDING YSA/SWP INFLUENCE
[63655]When contacted under pretext on November 24,
[63656]1972, CAROL EATON, self-identified as a current National
[63657]Staff member, and previously mentioned in this report,
[63658]related that she has been active in WONAAC since its
[63659]inception. EATON, while 4YTF2N9 she is definitely not a
[63660]YSA, SWP, or member of any “radical group", acknowledged
[63661]there always have been SWP, YSA and “radical” elements
[63662]in WONAAC. She went on to state, however, that WONAAC
[63663]has never allied itself politically with any organization
[63664]or individual, including any of the political candidates
[63665]in the recent political election and, despite its diverse
[63666]makeup as too ideaological beliefs of its membership,
[63667]WONAAC is basically an organization which strives only
[63668]to the objectives for which it was originally founded,
[63669]To this end, she went on, WONAAC would accept help from
[63670]whatever source offered.

[63694]minimal today. With regard to the "walk out" of six
[63696]national coordinators at the July, 1972 conference in NYC,
[63698]she stated the walk out did not occur, in fact, because.
[63700]of the SWP/YSA influence question, but rather because
[63702]those who walked out believed WONAAC should be a "referral
[63703]agency™, while those who stayed felt it should not. By .

[63959]WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION
[63960]ACTION COALITION (WONAAC)
[63962]During the latter part of February, 1973, a confidential
[63963]source, who has furnished reliable information in the past,
[63964]advised that the Washington, D.C. (WDC) Chapter of the Women's
[63965]National Abortion Action Coalition (D.C. WONAAC) is scheduled
[63966]to participate in an “International Woman's Day Solidarity
[63967]Meeting" scheduled to be held in New York City, New York on
[63968]Saturday, March 10, 1973, place to be announced.
[63970]The national office of WONAAC is located at
[63971]150 Fifth Avenue, New York City, New York.
[63972]WONAAC goals are self-defined as “working
[63973]on a national scale to make abortion legal,
[63974]to end restrictive contraception laws, and
[63975]to end forced sterilization."
[63977]According to the above source, a flyer distributed
[63978]by D.C. WONAAC disclosed that among those individuals
[63979]scheduled to speak at the meeting are; GISELE HALIMI, described
[63980]as a leader of "Choisir,"” a French abortion rights organization;
[63981]MICHELE CHEVALIER, described as a defendent in a French abortion
[63982]trial; and CLAUDE SERVAN SCHREIBER, described as a feminist
[63983]journalist and as a leader of "Choisir".
[63985]According to the above source, members of the
[63986]WDC Locals of the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) and the
[63987]Socialist Workers Party (SWP) have been urged to participate
[63988]in the International Womans Day Solidarity Meeting.
[63990]As the youth organization of the SWP, the
[63991]YSA serves as the main source of recruitment
[63992]into that organization. The YSA is
[63993]described in the masthead of its official
[63994]publication "The Young Socialist Organizer",
[63995]as "A multinational revolutionary socialist
[63996]youth organization."
[63998]The SWP has been designated pursuant to
[63999]. Executive Order 10450.

[64092]RePHlet 2/28/73.
[64094]The Women's National Abortion Action Conlition (WONAAC)
[64095]has been the subject of @ separate investigation by the Bureau
[64096]in numerous offices, In referenced letter, Philadelphia pointed
[64097]out that WONAAC represents @ basic social change dealing with
[64098]abortion rights and that in view of the fact the U,S, Supreme
[64099]Court upheld the right of abortion, the continued investigation
[64100]of ViGNSAC at this time dees not appernr ¢o be desirable and
[64101]should be discontinued, Philadeiphia also suggested that
[64102]continued investigation of the Socialist Workers Party (SWpP)
[64103]and its youth group, the Young Sctialist Alliance (YSA), should
[64104]determine pertinent activities of WONAAC.
[64106]After careful consideration of this matter, the Bureau
[64107]agrees with the cbhservations of the Philadelphia Office that the
[64108]investigation of WONAAC should be discontinued, However, in viev
[64109]of the fact that WONAAC is dominated and controlled by the SWP, a
[64110]Trotskyist communist organization cited by the Attorney General
[64111]pursuant to Executive Order 10450, it ig the responsibility of the
[64112]Bureau to investigate and report pertinent information relating
[64113]to the extent of SVP domination and control of captioned
[64115]vy organization,
[64116]Therefore, recipients should close separate
[64117]UY investigations concerning WONAAC, In the future, report above-~

[64220]For the information of New York, referenced Bureau
[64221]letter to Philadelphia dated 2/12/73 authorized a continued
[64222]investigation of WONAAC utilizing only established sources,
[64224]~ The Bureau further advised that the investigation was to be.
[64226]' conducted in a most discreet manner and that no action was
[64228]to be taken which could in any way be construed as infringement
[64229]by the FBI on academic freedom at the University of Pennsylvania,

[64235]‘ ° ¢he individuals associated with WONAAC in the Philadelphia
[64236]area are also known to be affiliated with the Socialist
[64237]Workers Party (SWP) and for the Young Socialist Alliance \
[64238](YSA), the majority of WONAAC supporters appear to be
[64239]individuals interested in social change rather than revolu-
[64240]. tionary political chaaga0 jo 3
[64242]In view of the fact BEER WONAAC represents basically
[64243]a social change vehicle dealing with the single issue of
[64244]abortion rights and the fact that a recent U. S. Supreme
[64245]Court decision upheld the right to abortion, thereby reducing
[64246]the political value of this issue, it would appear that a
[64247]—eantinued investigation of WONAAC at this time is not
[64248]desirable.

[71338]Dear WSPER:
[71340]Vomen Strike for Peace nationally is supporting the Jeannette Rankin Brigade.
[71341]Pleneloais, trainloads and carloads of women will be coming into Washington on Mon-
[71342]day, January i5th, from all over the country.
[71344]Ye are particularly pleased with this action because it represents for the first
[71345]time a real coalition of women's peace groups, church groups, theatre personalities, ,
[71346]and community leaders,
[71348]The Day is envisioned as a solemn, dignified confrontation of those who should be
[71349]representing the ever growing opposition to the war. We ask that you write your Con-
[71350]gressmen urging that they supvort the four points listed in the enclosed Call as Con-
[71351]gress reconvenes., Later in the afternoon at our Women's Congress we want to be able to \
[71352]resort on Congressional responses,
[71353]|
[71355]Ye will all meet at Union Station in Washington at 11: 30 AM and slowly walk to the
[71356]fapitel. We ask the women to wear black. We will be led by Jeannette Rankin who will
[71357]croceed to the top of the Capitol steps with a representative delegation of 50 women to
[71358]present our petition to the two men who represent the whole of Congress, Senator Mike
[71359]‘ansfield and Speaker of the House McCormack. The delegation will read tne demands be-
[71360]fore the assembled women and the two Congressmen. Leaving the Hill, the women will enter
[71361]uses for a motorcade to a Congress of American Women (place to be ’ announced). . Women
[71362]ill present an analysis of the current crisis on the war front and the domestic front,
[71364].eading to suggestions for program and actions to be taken back to our communities for in-
[71365]hlementation.
[71367]Women may choose to remain in Washington the next day to meet with their Congressmen.
[71368]£ you wish to stay and wish help in securing accommodations, contact the Hospitality Com-
[71369]ithee, 2140 P, St, N.W . Washington, DC (293-2020). We regret that in order to get the
[71370]ovest train Tare we had to guarantee return the | same day; therefore you would have to
[71371]inance your own trip back on the 16th.
[71373]‘Our hope is that 10, 000 women will converge upon Washington. We urge you to parti~
[71374]ipate,
[71376]Yours for Peace,

[72229]TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN:
[72231]I am proud of the fact that my fixst vote cast in Congress /
[72232]Was a vote against the war. It was the first opportunity
[72234]for a woman to vote, because I was the first woman to be
[72235]elected to Congress.
[72237]I believed then, as I do today, that women are the ones that
[72238]must be concerned with the needs and development of the
[72239]human race. I have always fought for the dignity. of all
[72240]human beings ~ for those of the present as well as those
[72242]of future generations.
[72244]t will continue to struggle as long as I live. I hope all
[72245]wouen will respond to the following call and join me in
[72246]Washington on January 15, 1968, the opening day ef Congress.
[72248]With highest hopes,

[73161]A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
[73162]information in the past, advised in December, 1967, that
[73163]the Jeannette Rankin/Brigade (JRB) had been formed primabily
[73164]by members of Women ‘Strike for Peace, a pacifist organization,
[73165]Members of Women Strike for Peace had formed the organization
[73166], following a statement made by former Congresswoman Jeannette
[73167]A Rankin of Montana, in which she stated that if 10,000 0 American”
[73168]housewives were willing to be arrested, they could stop
[73169]the war in Vietnam, According to the source, the JRB was
[73170]formed as a "one shot organization” to sponsor a demonstration
[73171]in Washington, D.C., when Congress reconvenes.in 1968,
[73173]The same source advised that January 15, 1968,
[73175]had been established as the date of the above demonstration
[73176]in view of the fact that Congress was reconvening on that
[73177]date. The source stated that the headquarters of the JRB
[73178]was located in New. York City and that officials there and
[73180], in other large United States cities including Los Angeles,
[73182]. San Francisco and Washington, D, C., were formulating the
[73183]plans for a "march on the United States Capitol" where
[73184]the women would present to the United States Congress a
[73185]petition demanding that the Congressmen end the war in
[73186]Vietnam, The source stated that a smail minority in the
[73187]above organization were in favor of commiting acts of civil
[73188]disobedience and being arrested. but the vast majority of
[73189]the organization wanted a peaceful demonstration to again
[73190]focus the Congressional attention upon the war in Vietnam,
[73192]The same source advised in January, 1968, that
[73193]representatives of the JRB met with officials of the United
[73194]States Capitol Police on several occasions and attempted
[73195]to gain permission to assemble on the steps of the United

[75117]JANUARY 8, 1968
[75119]INFORMATION CONCERNING
[75121]The "Kansas City Star" newspaper, Kansas City,
[75122]Missouri, edition of January 14, 1968, contained an article
[75123]stating that Kansas City women were responding to a "woman
[75124]power" appeal issued by Miss Jeanette Rankin, former member
[75125]of Congress, to end the war in Vietnam. According to the
[75126]article, a small delegation of Kansas City women plan to go
[75127]to Washington, D. C., on January 15, 1868, to participate in
[75128]the march by the "Jeanette Rankin Brigade" to petition Congress
[75129]for a United States withdrawal from Vietnam. The others in
[75130]the group would remain in Kansas City and present copies of
[75131]the petition to the offices of U. S. Representatives Richard
[75132]Bolling, Kansas City, Missouri, and Larry Winn, Kansas City,
[75133]Kansas, at 1:00 p.m., on January 15, 1968.
[75135]The "Kansas City Star" evening edition of January
[75136]15, 1968, carried an article stating that on the afternoon
[75137]of January 15, 1968, 20 women appeared at the offices of
[75138]Representatives Bolling and Winn. They carried no signs
[75139]and the demonstration was orderly. The women, all from the
[75140]greater Kansas City area, merely presented a petition asking
[75141]Congress to end the war in Vietnam and withdraw American
[75142]troops, to make reparations for the “ravaged land we leave
[75143]behind in Vietnam", and to listen to the American people
[75144]and refuse "the insatiable demands of the military-industrial
[75145]complex". The article stated that the Kansas City branch of
[75146]the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
[75147]had been planning to send representatives to the Washington
[75148]march, but it was not until Wednesday that they decided to
[75149]present the petitions to Congressmen Winn and Bolling.
[75150]According to the article, Mrs. John M.“Swomley , Ur. 5
[75151]Program Chairman of the organization, stated the Kansas City
[75152]group hoped to identify with the women in Washington and their
[75153]objective to bring and end to the war in Vietnam.

[75401]JANUARY 15, 1968
[75403]Chairman of the Brigade, announced to the demonstrators that this
[75404]docal demonstration was principally gathered to support women
[75405]from around the United States who were gathered in Washington,
[75406]D.C. today, as part of a nation-wide demonstration sponsored by
[75407]the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, to petition Congress to resolve
[75408]the conflict in Vietnam. Bridges stated that inasmuch as it
[75410]was not possible for the demonstrators to personally contact
[75411]their congressmen, most of whom were out of town; that following
[75412]the presentation of a petition to Mayor Joseph Alioto, the
[75413]demonstrators would then proceed to the Western Union Office on
[75414]10th and Market Streets in San Francisco, so that the women
[75415]protestors could send wires to their congressmen, protesting
[75416]United States policies in Vietnam. Bridges indicated that the
[75417]petitioners would request Mayor Alioto to convey to Congress
[75418]their petition, which among other things urged Congress, as its
[75419]first order of business, to resolve to end the War in Vietnam and
[75420]immediately arrange for withdrawal of all American troops from
[75421]Vietnam; for Congress to use its power to heal the sick society
[75422]at home and to make reparations for the ravaged lands left
[75424]behind in Vietnam.
[75426]A source advised March 2, 1967, that Mrs. H.
[75427]Bridges, also known as Nikki Bridges, 35
[75428]Kronquest Court, San Francisco, California, was
[75429]listed as a recipient of a new yearly subscription
[75430]to the "People’s World" (PW), expiration date:
[75431]March 4, 1968.
[75433]The PW is a west coast communist newspaper,
[75434]published weekly in San Francisco. bee

[75436]The next speaker was identified as Aileen-Hernandez.
[75437]She spoke for approximately five minutes and brtefty~explained
[75438]to the demonstrators who Jeannette Rankin is and what the purposes
[75439]of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade are. She stated that the group
[75440]has no principal spokesman and it is principally a group of
[75441]women who are involved and committed in a fight for peace.
[75443]Several of the demonstrators, led by Nikki Bridges,
[75444]then proceeded to the Office of Mayor Joseph Alioto to present
[75445]their petition.

[75460]Approximately ten minutes later the Mayor of
[75462]San Francisco appeared on the steps of the City Hall and announced
[75463]to the demonstrators that he would gladly transmit their
[75464]petition to Congress. .Mayor Alioto stated that he fully
[75465]believed in the constitutional right of peaceful assembly.
[75466]He indicated, however, that because he had consented to
[75467]transmit the demonstrators! petition to Washington, he did not
[75468]necessarily agree with it. The Mayor then stated that it
[75469]was his personal opinion that the United States Government and
[75470]the Johnson Administration had done all in its power.to attempt
[75471]to come to a peaceful and honorable solution in the Vietnamese
[75472]War. He related that he felt that it was now up to the other
[75474]side to make the same attempts to arrive at a peaceful solution
[75476]in the Vietnamese conflict.
[75478]At approximately 12:45 p.m., the demonstrators proceeded
[75479]to the Western Union Office located at 10th and Market Streets
[75480]in San Francisco, so that wires could be sent to their congressmen
[75481]in Washington.

[75490](ILWU) -~ Pacific Maritime Association, Pension Fund, at 150
[75492]Golden Gate Avenue,’ San Francisco.
[75494]A second source advised on December 4, 1967, that
[75495]Blaine Yoneda is a current and active member of the Communist
[75496]Party (CP).
[75498]On January 15, 1968, a Special Agent of the FBI
[75499]observed a silent protest by a group of women on the lawn
[75500]of Colton Hall, Monterey, California, between 3:00 and 5:90 p.m.
[75501]These women were ostensibly gathered to support the demonstration
[75502]being held in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Jeannette Rankin
[75503]Brigade. There were no speeches given; the demonstrators merely
[75504]conducted a silent vigil.
[75506]A one page leaflet captioned "Women To Take First
[75507]Step to End The War" printed by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade,
[75508]at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, was handed

[78312]At 19:50 AM, the women marched to the steps on the
[78313]First Street side of the Los Angzeles City Hall for a second
[78314]rally. <A count made as the den -onstrators marched between the
[78315]Old State Building and tne City Hall revealed that 250
[78316]adult Caucasians (majority of whom were women dressed in
[78317]black), and eight non-Caucasian adults were involved, plus
[78318]some younssters and infants. The mother of one of the children
[78319]had a cardboard sign, depicting a bomb and the caption, "I'm
[78320]Glad I'm Not Vietnamese", strapped to the back of her son who
[78321]appeared to be less than four years of age.

[78327]Radio Station KLAC. She joined the others in calling for a
[78328]coalition of women to influence legislation and bring an end to
[78329]the war in Vietnam. She also called for support of other "liberal
[78330]radio broadcasters on our side", one of whom she named as
[78332]William Winter. (The "Daily People's World", west coast
[78334]communist newspaver, in its edition of June 11, 1946, described
[78335]William Winter as chairman of a local citizens! committee to
[78336]safecuard the Joint Anti-Fascist Refuge Committee, which
[78337]organization has been cited pursuant £0 Executive Order 10450).

[78340]-, 7... .- Laurence Sherman, it being pointed out that he was an-- = ~~
[78341]. unsuccessful candidate for public office, on a peace slate,
[78342]during 1967, but that both he and his wife were continuing the
[78343]fight for an end to the war in Vietnam, She said, "It is time
[78344]for us to re-examine our role. as women. Women are a vehicle

[78351]them. . ,
[78353]Marsaret Wricht stated that wherets the majority of
[78354]women in the demonstration were wearing black to denote mourning,
[78355]that she and her non-Caucasian associates who feel, "Black is
[78356]beautiful" were dressed in white to indicate their attitude of
[78357]mourning. She called for the elimination of ROTC (Reserve
[78358]Officers Training Corps) from local high schools and junior
[78359]colleges, adding, "Tney have got to get live bullets out of the
[78360]schools, and get some live teachers in." She repeated these

[78385]She urged the women not to.disperse, but to join her and...
[78386]others in invading the City Council Chambers with a demand
[78388]that the JRB be allowed to speak to the Council even though
[78389]they had not made previous arrangements for a place. on the
[78390]agenda that day. Some of the women were already out of range
[78391]of the public address system and did not hear this announcement
[78392]by Wright, having already been dismissed by. Sissons and told to
[78393]reconvene at the Board of Education following Luncheon. -
[78395]Approximately 200 of the demonstrators did enter
[78396]the Council Chambers. They got word to the councilmen, through
[78397]one of the staff members, -that they wisned to be heard.
[78398]A motion to allow a JRB represent tative to address them was .
[78399]put before the Council, and defeated by a vote of six to five.
[78400]Immediately following this vote, there was a unanimous vote
[78401]that the Council adjourn. As the councilmen filed out of the
[78402]room, Bima Tomash rushed to.the front shouting demands that
[78403]they return, while other of the women hissed and booed the
[78404]city legislators.
[78406]During the noon hour some of the women distributed -
[78407]leaflets in the City Hali and on the surrounding streets in
[78408]the downtown Civic Center.
[78410]At 1:00 PM, the wonlén, whose numbers had by that .
[78412]time been reduced to 125, massed in the patio of the. Los a
[78413]Angeles City Board of Education, 450 North Grand Avenue,
[78414]Los. Angeles... Sissons, Wright.and Tomash addressed-the ----.~ ..
[78415]assembled demonstrators, pointing out that money spent in
[78416]Vietnam could be better spent in education. Wright claimed
[78417]that many of the so-called student "drop-outs" are in reality
[78418]"push-outs", claiming that she herself was one of the latter. .
[78419]She said, Wie need books, not bombs. We know this is a racist
[78420]war and we blacks are.not going to fight a racist war", ©She _
[78421]indicated that rather than-fight overseas, .the black people
[78422]would remain at home and fight the racists She also said,
[78423]"Just because I'm pro-black doesn't necessarily mean I'm anti-.
[78424]white,” :
[78426]Wright said, "I'm not political, but I am honest. I
[78427]can't honestly get up and say the pledge of allegiance to the
[78428]American flag, because I really don't have liberty and justice;
[78429]so I just get up and stand and won't repeat the pledge.”
[78431]Later, when she observed a photograph of President Johnson
[78432]hanging from a wall in the Administration Building at the
[78433]Los Angeles City Board of Education, she told the JRB women
[78434]with her, "We shouldn't have to look at such pornographic
[78435]pictures, —
[78437]a a
[78440]|
[78442]Angeles City Sancol Security Officers, during the recent.
[78444]Wright said that her arrest at the hands of-Los ---
[78446]Manual Arts High School disturbance, had at least one bright
[78448]‘result. She said that at the time of her arrest it had been
[78450]necessary for the arresting officers to drag her down the
[78451]hall as she was too heavy for them to carry. Then she added
[78453]- that the next time she is arrested the officers will not have
[78455]that excuse as she has lost thirty pounds in the meantime.
[78457]The speeches in the patio ended at 1:30 PM and many
[78458]of the women left immediately. Seventy-eight women remained ;
[78459]and attempted to enter a special committee meeting being attended
[78460]py some of the School Board members. They were informed by a
[78461]member of-the administrative staff-that the public meeting of the
[78462]School Board would not be held until 4:00 PM, the regularly
[78463]scheduled meeting time.. The women milled around in the hallway
[78464]outside the meeting room, until finally a staff member came out
[78465]and told them that two members’ of the School Board, Reverend
[78466]James E. Jones and Dr. Julian. Nava, had agreed to grant them an
[78467]audience. The women were then ushered into the public board
[78468]room of the School Board where they waited until 2:00 PM at
[78469]which time the above-named Board members granted the demonstrators
[78470]a short audience and answered some questions put to them by tne
[78471]women, One question, as to how much Longer the members of the
[78472]School-Board were going to permit recruiters’ from the armed -
[78473]forces to interview students at local-high schools and junior
[78474]cOlleges remained unanswered, but Dr. Nava pointed out to the
[78475]women that he had seen nothing wrong in entering the armed- :
[78477]of age, and he could see nothing wrong in other young men who
[78479]' wanted to do the same today. The demonstration was concluded
[78481]by 3:00 PM. There were no incidents and no arrests.’-
[78483]Placards carried during this demonstration in Los
[78484]Angeles bore the following captions:.

[78487]"oman Power is Vote Power is Peace Power"

[79184]SCEF (Continued)
[79186]continued as an independent organization, rallying support
[79187]for integration and democracy and helping to stimulate
[79189]and nurture new movements of the early 1960's. The SCEF
[79190]maintained headquarters in Louisiana for twenty years, but
[79191]in 1966 moved its headquarters to Louisville, Kentucky.
[79193]A source advised on March 2, 1961, that Claude
[79194]Lightfoot, a Communist Party functionary, stated at a meeting
[79195]of the Communist Party in Baltimore, Maryland, on February 25,
[79196]1961, that the: Communist Party is not connected with any
[79197]progressive movement but indirectly they do have -some influence
[79198]| in the SCEF. .
[79200]A second source, who is familiar with some phases
[79201]of Communist Party activity in the New Orleans area, advised
[79202]on June 3, 1966, that during the time that the SCHW was in
[79203]existence, members of the Communist Party were members of
[79204]and worked actively in the SCHW; however, since the formation
[79205]of the SCEF, Communist Party members have not been encouraged
[79206]to work in the SCEF. The source stated that the SCEF is
[79207]a progressive, liberal organization, which he considers a
[79208]Communist Party front organization because it has gone along
[79209]with the Communist Party on certain issues, particularly
[79210]on the racial issue.
[79212]A third source advised on May 25, 1965, that
[79213]George Meyers, a Communist Party functionary, expressed
[79214]great admiration for Carl and Anne Braden and the SCEF,
[79215]with which they are affiliated, and expressed the view
[79216]that the SCEF is the best organization in the South as far
[79217]as doing effective work is concerned and that they have a
[79218]better idea of what they are doing, where they are heading,
[79219]and influence other organizations for the better.
[79221]The second source also advised on June 3, 1966,
[79223]that many people who are officials and supporters of the
[79224]SCEF, while liberal in their views, are by no means Communists.

[79814]NW 88321 Docld:32989545 Page 720 6.
[79816]newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned
[79818]“What Is Really Happening In Cuba," placed by the Fair Play
[79819]for Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced the
[79820]formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the FPCC
[79821]intended to promulgate "the truth about revolutionary Cuba" to
[79822]neutralize the distorted American press,
[79824]"The New York Times" edition of January 11, 1961,
[79825]reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States
[79826]Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,
[79828]Dr. Charles A. Santos-Buch identified himself and Robert Taber
[79829]as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and Taber
[79830]obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied
[79831]toward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.
[79833]On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the
[79834]first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle
[79835]between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party(SWP)
[79836]elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby
[79837]influence FECC policy. This source added that during the past
[79838]year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to
[79839]minimize the role of these and other organizations in the FPCC
[79840]so that their influence as of May , 1963, was nacligible.
[79842]The SWP has been designated pursunic to Executive
[79843]Order 10450. .
[79845]On May 20, 1863, a second source scivised that Vincent
[79846]"Ted" Tee, FPCC National Office Director, was then formulating
[79847]FPCC policy and had indicated that he had no intention of
[79848]permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any cther organization,
[79849]This sonrce stated that Lee believed that the ¥=CC should. .
[79850]advocate resumption of diplomatic. relations between Cuba and -
[79851]the United States and should support the right of
[79852]Cubans to manage their revolution without intexference from
[79853]other nations. Let “id not advocate supportir,; the Cuban
[79854]revolution per se.
[79856]The Hovemper 23, 1963, edition of "The New York Times"
[79857]reported that Senster Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut had called
[79858]FPCC "the chief public relations instrument of the Castro network
[79859]in the United States." It is to be noted that Senator Dodd was
[79860]a member of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee which
[79861]twice conducted hearings on the FPCC.

[79872]The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York World
[79873]pram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro FPCC
[79875]was seeking to go out of business and that its prime activity
[79876]during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-Castro street
[79877]rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction of an active
[79878]propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-Cuba campaigns.
[79879]Its comparatively brief span of life was attributed to mounting
[79880]anti-Castro American public opinion, the 1962 Congressional
[79881]hearings which disclosed FPCC financing by Castro's United
[79882]Natiors Delegation, and ultimately, the bad publicity which
[79883]the FPCC received from disclosure of activities on its behalf
[79884]by suspected presidential assassin Lee H.. Oswald,
[79886]On February 6, 1964, the previvusly mentioned second
[79887]source advised that V. T. Lee had recently remarked that tha
[79888]FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to organize another
[79889]simiiar organization, .
[79891]On April 13, 1964, a third source advised that there
[79892]had not been any FPCC activity in many months and that the
[79893]FPCC had been dissolved.

[80649]said police would plant two hundred “agent provocateurs" in
[80650]the line of march to create scenes which would result in
[80651]arrests. It was also stated police had prepared for five
[80652]hundred arrests; that all telephones into the demonstration
[80653]headquarters were being monitored; and that permission to
[80654]march was still being withheld. After the California group
[80655]had been briefed, the following instructions were read to

[80724]TAIMI HALONEN and THORUN ROBEL were miidiy self-
[80725]critical about not working for the programs the younger women
[80726]were promoting. TAIMI said she was tired after working long
[80727]hours on the Seattle conference to be held Saturday, January
[80728]20th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle at which the
[80729]Seattle delegation would report. HALONEN made the observation,
[80730]however, that the women working on the program were all very
[80731]experienced leaders and she trusted they would formulate a
[80732]satisfactory program.
[80734]On Monday, January 15, 1968, the delegates including
[80735]the group from Washington State, met at the Union Station in
[80736]Washington, D.C. It was learned here that the instructions
[80737]which had been given the day before at the Shoreham Hotel were
[80738]evidently for the California group only, because many California
[80739]people had been badiy beaten in previous demonstrations and
[80740]they were very cautious and somewhat apprehensive. The
[80741]official pattern was different. Mimeographed sheets headed
[80742]"Jearrette Rankin Brigade - Information and Instructions" were
[80743]passed out and these appeared to be the official instructions.
[80745]A repreduction is attached.
[80748]oe The Washington State délegation was enlarged when a
[80749]Mrs ,2BACKUP from Tacoma arrived. RADER said some of the money
[80750]usually received from wealthy contpabutors had been collected
[80751]by Mrs. BACKUP. Reverend HAROL ASS of Tacoma collected
[80752]$120.00, and wanted scmeone else to go instead of ZEFRA > ---ocr7
[80753](STUDAMIRE). RADER defended herself when TAIMI HALONEN criticized
[80754]her for bringing ZEFRA along since ZEFRA is at ieast six months
[80756]upregnant.
[80758]After the demonstration, HEALY and RADER spent much
[80759]of the time urging the speakers to include in their talks some-
[80760]thing about the status of the American Indian. ELLA BAKER From
[80762]. New York did inciude a paragraph from the paper the Washington.
[80764]State delegation-submitted to Congress. This was entitled, .
[80765]"American Indians and the Struggle for Peace". It had been
[80766]prepared by LONNIE HEALY although at its bottom it carried the
[80767]notation "(Prepared by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade Delegation
[80768]from Washington State)."
[80770]RADER,- HEALY, and CORR became indignant because the
[80771]audience did not give a standing ovation to Mrs. MARTIN L. KING,
[80773]Jr. or any of the Negro speakers.

[80783]HEALY expressed great dissatisfaction with the
[80784]basic organization of the gathering. She wanted an organi-
[80785]zational meeting instead of a rally type meeting which
[80786]occurred, HALONEN and ROBEL agreed somewhat. HEALY implied
[80787]the whole thing was a waste of her time.
[80789]In the workshop secticn of the meeting, HALONEN
[80790]worked in the legislative action section; HELEN FRENCH and
[80791]ELAINE HORSLEY in the electoral campaigns; and HEALY and
[80792]CORR in racism. Here, too, the younger women were very
[80793]critical. HEALY, particularly, resented having men as
[80794]"pesource people" for the group. She said she thought this
[80795]was a women's congress. TAIMI said she found herself in a
[80796]situation that was quite different in that she was working
[80797]with a very broad spectrum of politically and economically oriented
[80798]individuals and it was a real learning experience.. ELAINE
[80799]HORSLEY was anxious to get back home and work for peace while
[80800]the spirit of JEANNETTE RANKIN was still fresh. She and
[80801]HELEN PRENCH expressed the view the congress met the needs
[80802]of American women in giving a concrete program on which to work.
[80804]Tuesday, January 16, 1968, was for lebbying. The
[80805]Seattle and Tacoma people were told to meet at the Methodist
[80806]Building, 100 Maryland Avenue. HALONEN, ROBEL, HEALY, HORSLEY,
[80807]and HELEN FRENCH arrived before the appointed time. After about
[80808]an hour, EMELIA CASSIDY arrived stating RADER had an eye problem
[80809]and would be unable to attend. Mrs. BACKUP joined the group.
[80810]LINDA CORR and ZEFRA were too tired to get up so early. The
[80811]group called on Washington State's Senators JACKSON and MAGNUSON,
[80812]but they were not in their offices. After leaving a copy of
[80813]the women's petition and a questionnaire prepared by the
[80814]Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (see attachment)
[80815]they called on Washington State's Congressmen FLOYD HICKS and
[80817]BROCK ADAMC. Mr, HICKS was out of town. Mrs. HORSLEY knew the; _.-
[80819]‘Congressman personally and her son’ knew two of: the office
[80821]personnel. She asked that they relate to him that she was
[80822]vitally interested in peace and social justice.
[80824]Congressman BROCK ADAMS was in his office and spent
[80825]about twenty minutes talking with the group concerning his
[80826]political views and some of the political machinations of his
[80827]party. The group then began to disintegrate. ELAINE HORSLEY
[80828]left to get a 2:30 flight to Boston where she would visit her
[80829]son who is attending Harvard University.

[80854]After some sightseeing in the afternoon, HALONEN,
[80855]ROBEL, and Mrs. BACKUP checked into the Plaza Hotel since
[80856]they were going to stay a day or two _onger for some workshops.
[80857]RADER stayed also. The rest of the group, HEALY, CORR, ZEFRA
[80858](STUDAMIRE), CASSIDY, and FRENCH went to Friendship Airport
[80859]and boarded UAL Flight 41 for Seattle.
[80861]While in Washington, HEALY kept trying to call a
[80862]CARL BLOICE who the source thought used to be either in Seattle
[80863]or San Francisco, but she never reached him.
[80865]The workshops held on January 15th after the march were:

[80890]On January: 23, 1968, the fifth source advised a meeting
[80891]of the Trade Union CP Club was held at Tacoma, Washington, on
[80892]January 18, 1968, at which EMELITA CASSIDY, also known as MILLIE
[80893]CASSIDY, a member of that club, reported on her trip to Washington,
[80894]D.C. She stated she stayed at DONNA ALLEN's home there. She said
[80895]MARJORIE RADER got an eye infection which kept her from going to
[80896]the march. RADER remained at ALLEN's residence. She added
[80898]ZEFRA STUDAMIRE shouldn't have gone because she was uncooperative
[80899]and would not attend anything. She was rude, said her bed was
[80901]too low and complained about the food. Some or all of these

[80921]CONFIDENTIAL
[80922]troubles might be attributed to the fact STUDAMIRE is expecting
[80923]a baby in April. CASSIDY stated there were too many rules to
[80924]follow.
[80926]The delegates weren't premitted to carry a nail file,
[80927]wear peace buttons, or exhibit RANKIN buttons. They had to walk
[80928]six abreast and were not allowed to march around the White
[80929]House. She said a suit will be brought in court for this
[80930]denial of their rights. She went on to state each person had
[80931]or was given $10.00 to carry on his person so he could not
[80932]be arrested for vagrancy.
[80934]CASSIDY said a nurse, Mrs. HELEN Mz COOK, had been
[80935]very helpful to the group. COOK told CASSIDY she could be reached
[80936]at 719 Beechwood Road, Media, Pennsylvania, if more information
[80937]is desired concerning Veterans for Peace, which was not further
[80938]described.
[80940]GUY RADER, a CP member at this meeting, tried to stop
[80941]CASSIDY when the latter complained ZEFRA STUDAMIRE was too
[80942]immature to have been sent to the conference, but CASSIDY wasn't
[80943]easy to stop. She was incensed over the fact money had been used
[80944]for STUDAMIRE's trip and the latter refused to cooperate. RADER
[80945]and STUDAMIRE remained in Washington, D.C. after the conference
[80946]to handle some business with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating
[80947]Committee (SNCC) according to CASSIDY.

[81035]Tadians opposes <cnis distortion of hiscory. Beatings and murder of Indians
[81037]ad taine go unchallenged. Congress voted in 195 to open up Indian land

[81049]It is as deadly to be an Indian in America as it is to be a soldier
[81050]in Viet Nam. In the three years before 1907, more Indian children below the
[81051]age of 18 had died in this country than the 6,623 U. S. combat casualties of
[81052]tle entire Viet Nam War (as of the end of 1966). Most of these were children

[81059]The price we pay is the built-in racism our children are taught in

[81067]The thread of struggle for self-determination runs through the history
[81068]of Indian~Americans, When a few Indian youth speak of Red Power, the roots go
[81069]i deep into their history in finding nourishment for this demand. Just as some
[81070]Negro leaders today speak of W.E.B. DuBois as having raised the same issue of
[81071]identity long before the level of struggle, which is Black Power, arrived.
[81072]This struggle has gone on for 400 years.
[81076]The Indian people have been sendins spokesmen to bring their grievances
[81077]“and their positions before the power structure of this country for two hundred
[81078]years. They have fought in the courts since at least 1330 when the case of
[81079]the Cherokee Nation vs, Georgia tested the ability and the willingness of the
[81080]United States to protect an Indian Tribe in its efforts at self£-determination.
[81082]7 The Vietnamese war is a continuation of the whole racist war we have.
[81084]‘ waged against the Indian People. Understanding this is a part of understanding
[81085]the Viet Nam war. We respond to what is happening to Vietnamese children, yet .
[81086]the Indian people have suffered from the same policy of extermination and aa
[81087]destruction of their identity.

[81096]We can help to push the United States to ratify the United Nations
[81097]Resolution, "Treaty Against Genocide", that the United States should correct
[81098]: the history and policy of genicide against the Indian people. Today this
[81099]refers to the destruction of their identity as'a people and linke with the
[81100]struggles of people for their identity all over the world. To stop the policy

[81615]u wee
[81616]Upon informing the Capitol Police of their planned march to the Capitol building
[81617]to present their petition, the wonen were threatened with arrest under ho u,8.C.
[81618]193 (a) et. seq. which, after Cefining the area ccnsidcrcd Capitol Grounds, states:
[81620]"It is forbidden to parade, stand, or move in processions
[81622]or assemblages in said United States Capitol Grounds, or to ,
[81623]display therein any flag, banner, or device designed or
[81624]adapted to bring into public notice any party, organization, |
[81625]or movement......"
[81627]The statute further provides that exceptions from these prescriptive provisions
[81628]will be made in the discretion of certain Congressional leaders and/or Capitol
[81629]Police. The exceptions are allowed on “ocassions of national interest becoming
[81630]the congnizance and entertainment of Congress."
[81632]The petition of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade apparently does not become "the
[81633]entertainment of Congress" and arrests were threatened. Therefore the suit which
[81634]was files prays for the convening of a three-judge Federal District Court which
[81635]is requested to enjoin the operation and enforcement of the statute and to
[81636]declare it unconstitutional. We have asked the Federal District Court for the
[81637]District of Columbia to grant us this relief on an emergency basis prior to
[81638]January 15th, Our request was denied. The same request was made to the District
[81639]of Columbia Court of Appeals and was likewise denied. As it was then impossible
[81640]to ottain relief prior to January 15th the Brigade's attorneys are continuing the
[81641]appeal on a non-emergency basis in the Court of Appeals and have every confidence
[81642]of ultimate victory. .
[81644]This is far from the last time that these women or any other Americans intend
[81645]to appear in their nation's Capitol to petition their government. Hopefully this _
[81646]will be the last time that they find it so difficult to do so.

[81833]y states for public assistance and child welfare programs, ‘un 2637,
[81834]the Washington Lesirl.itre remcaled the Paupers Law of 1654 and
[81835]enactcd a State Social Security Law. "Welfare" hos toen a bone of
[81836]“ contention ever since.
[81837]. Greenleigzh Report woe . .
[81838]In 1963, the Washington Legislature appropriated $20,000 for a study
[81839]of the state's public assistance programs. ‘The study was made by
[81840]Greenleigh Associates, and the Greenleigh Report was presented in
[81841]December, 1964,
[81842]This report stated that public assistance grants in
[81843]Washington, with standar s based on 1959 prices and
[81844]12% ratable reductions,t® *e 40% below the minimum
[81845]Standards for health and decency. Speaking of child ’
[81846]welfare needs, the report said:"There is an excessive
[81847]and increasing rate of referral of children to the
[81848]Juvenile Courts, both for dependency and delinquency,
[81849]There ls an excessive and increasing trend for children
[81850]to be removed from their natural families and cared
[81851]for elsewhere,"
[81852]WHAT ABOUT RATABLE REDUCTIONS?
[81854]a al an mbalnod s
[81856]The 1965 Legislature removed the ratable reductions, The 1967
[81857]Legislature ordered the Dept, of Public Assistance to bring itts
[81858]pricing standard's up to 1967 levels,
[81860]Ak NN dat ore on anrretetlad aan oy tlt eit aon earths
[81862]New standards were put into effect July first. Increased allowances
[81863]for rent vary from county to county. Other allowances were increased
[81864]an average of 10-3/4%-In King County the total increase was 16%.
[81865]Thus, Kang County grants have been increased by 28% since 1964,
[81866]but the cost of living has increased by at least 5%, Grants are stil
[81867]17% less than acceptable levels,
[81869]The maximum grant for a Seattle family consisting of
[81871]two adults, a boy 13, and a girl 8, is $285.80 4
[81873]nonth--$3,429 a year, But recent changes in the
[81875]Federal Social Security Law cast a shadow on even

[83159]WORKERS WORLD PARTY
[83161]On April 17, 1959, a confidential source advised
[83162]that on February 12, 1859, a Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
[83163]minority group under the leadership of National Committee
[83164]member SAM BALLAN, split from the SWP.
[83166]The source stated that this minority ground,
[83167]veferred to as the Marcyites, after many years of program
[83168]and policy differences on varied issues concerhing tactics
[83169]and interpretation of political events » split from the SWP
[83170]on the grounds that the Party was liquidating itself by
[83171]departing from the Marwist wrecapts of LEON TROTSKY and
[83172]retreating from the fight for the world socialist
[83173]revolution. The final issue which ultimately forced the
[83174]split was the minority's ovposition to the SWP regroupment
[83175]policy which involved cooperation with the Communist Party.
[83177](CP) periphery-individuals characterized by the minority
[83178]as petty-—bourgeois,
[83180]The minority program, according to the source,
[83181]advocated unconditional defense of the Soviet Union and has
[83182]as its goal the building of a revolutionary party with a
[83183]complete proletarian orientation for the purpose of overthrowing
[83184]capitalism in the United States and throughout the world,
[83186]. On Mav 12, 1960, source advised that this minority
[83187]group had chosen the name Workers World Party.
[83189]on May 1s 1967, a second cor :fidential source
[83190]advised that the Workers World Party, which maintains head- .
[83191]quarters at 46 West 21st Street, New York, New York, supports
[83193]the People's Republic of China in its ideological dispute
[83194]with the Soviet Union.

[86345]Washington, D. C., and San Francisco, California, on 11/20/71 to build
[86346]public support for the repeal of antiabortion laws. .
[86348]The Women's National Abortion Action Coalition was formed at a
[86349]conference held at Columbia, University, New York City, in July, 1971, which
[86350]was attended by approximately 1,000 women from 29 states. The conference
[86351]voted to make a woman's right to abortion a national and political issue.
[86352]Subsequent to ” its formation, the coalition called for demonstrations in
[86353]San Francisco and Washington on 11/20/71 to build public support for the /
[86354]repeal of all antiabortion laws, to protest forced sterilization, andtocall ~”
[86355]for an end to restrictive contraceptive laws. A source of the Washington —
[86356]Field Office has advised that the march in Washington is supported by the
[86357]Young Socialist Alliance, the youth group of the Socialist Workers Party
[86358](SWP). Caro//Lipman, who is a member of the SWP, is Project Director “~~ ~~
[86359]of the Washington march.
[86363]Coalition leaders in requesting permit for the demonstration have
[86364]lestimated that participation in the Washington march will range between
[86365]{10,000 and 20,000 persons. The Washington Field Office has developed
[86366]information that 46 buses have been chartered to bring participants to the
[86367]demonstration. Participants will represent some 80 cities. The Metropolitan
[86368]Police Department anticipates participation will be in the vicinity Of 5 5; ope person

[89388]New York, in July 1971. -At that conference,
[89390]women from 29 states and 253 organizations came
[89391]together to unite their efforts in the national
[89392]fight for the repeal of all aborticn laws and
[89394]for the corollary demands of no forced sterilization
[89395]and repeal of contraception laws, The conference
[89396]called for a massive show of force for these goals
[89397]in a march on Washington, D. C., and San Francisco,
[89398]California, November 20, 1971. WONAAC is based
[89400]on a program of legislative, judicial, and
[89402]mass demonstration activities on a local and
[89403]national level, and seeks to unite all women in
[89404]the fight for the right of abortion.

[91328]ra On November 13, 1971, a source advised that the
[91330]Women's National Abortion Coalition (WONAAC) planned to
[91331]hold demonstrations at Washington; D. C. and San Francisco,
[91332]California on November 20, 1971. The purpose of the
[91333]demonstrations were to call for the repeal of all abertion,
[91334]contraception and forced sterilization laws. The "Women's
[91335]Right to Choose of Maryland, the Baltimore, Maryland
[91336]affiliate of WONAAC was to organize busing and housing
[91337]arrangements for out-of-state women.
[91339]On November 22, 1971, a source advised that the
[91340]Women's Right to Choose of Maryland, working from 3028
[91341]Greenmout Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland, were unsuccessful
[91342]in attempts to generate enthusiasm for the WONNAC demonstration
[91343]among Baltimore area women. Therefore, the plan to charter
[91344]a bus for the purpose of transporting demonstrators to the
[91345]Washington, D. C. rally was cancelled,

[91350]On November 30, 1971, a second source advised
[91351]that the Women! s Right to Choose of Maryland had been
[91352]formed as an “ad hoc" group for the specific purpose of
[91353]supporting the Novenber 20, 1971 Washington, D. C. demonstra-
[91354]tion. The source further stated that tne Women's Right 1
[91355]to Choose of Maryland ceased to exist, following this i
[91356]demonstration, and is now defunct.

[93501]information:
[93503]A Women's National Abortion Action Coalition

[93512]Approximately 1,000 persons were in attendance
[93513]at this convention which was held to determine future action
[93514]of WONAAC and to allow diverse factions within the Women's
[93515]i Abortion Movement to join ranks under one issue,
[93517]wee
[93519]Female members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
[93520]. and Young Socialist Alliance (¥YSA) from all over the county
[93521]; were requested by the national office of the SWP ami YSA
[93522]to attend this convention in order to insure the effective
[93523]control of the convention by the SWP,

[93526]Workers Party (SUP), the Young Socialist’ Alliante*
[93527]¥SA8) serves as the main source of recruitment
[93528]into that organization. The YSA is described
[93529]in the masthead of its official publication,
[93530]"The Young Socialist Organizer," as "A multi-

[93556]Re: WONAAC
[93558]The SYP specifically wished the convention to ~-
[93559]adopt a one-issue position, that being the complete
[93560]control of the female body by the individual female.
[93562]This specific issue, “women control their bodies” was
[93563]adopted by the wonent S organization and all other propo-~
[93564]sals were rejected,
[93566]Workshops were organized for each of the many
[93567]separate racial and ethnic groups represented at the
[93568]conference, Workshops were based on appeal to the speci-
[93569]fic group intended and all were supposedly controlled by
[93570]the SWP,
[93572]A Black, Raza, Asian-American women's workshop
[93573]was held on February 12, 1972, with 35 persons attending.
[93574]Among the issues discussed at the workshop were the
[93575]attempts of democratic and republican presidential candi-
[93576]dates to capitalize on minority group attitudes in regard
[93577]to the abortion movement and the fact that minority groups
[93578]all to often find themselves without a voice when real
[93579]issues are involved,
[93581]UPL aniNijes Rudelde “Abin iiaue etal ouaa
[93583]Of particular importance to the group was the
[93584]La Raza tmida Perty, a legitixate political varty in Texas
[93585]whieh serves to unite Mexican Americans. Of equal impor-
[93586]tance was the Gay Liberation Movement, which the group
[93587]felt expresses the plight of gay females who do not want
[93588]children and are forced to live with men because of the
[93589]mores of American society.

[93593]. Attendees agreed that the one issue of abortion

[93599]The convention adjourned after an agreement that
[93600]an “Abortion Action Week" would be held May 1 - 6, 1972.
[93601]This action would serve to kéep public attention focused
[93602]on the need to legalize abortion and to seek effective
[93603]support from the many thousands of women who want to right

[94377]II. ACTIVITIES
[94379]A, Conferences and Demonstrations
[94381]1. WONAAC Founding Conference was held in New York
[94382]City, New York, July 16-18, 1971. This conference called for
[94383]national demonstrations to be held on November 20, 1971, in
[94385]WDC and San Francisco, California, around the theme of "Reneal
[94387]of All Abortion Laws,"
[94389]CWP T-1, 7/21/71)
[94391]a. On November 20, 1971, approximately 1,500 women,
[94392]representing womens liberation groups from the East Coast and
[94393]Mid-West, gathered or the Elliose in WOC, in response to the
[94394]call by WONAAC to march on the United States Capitol to demand
[94395]the repeal of all abortion laws. This group departed the
[94396]Ellipse at approximately 10:30 a.m. on that date and marched.
[94397]along Tennsylvania Avenus, N.W., to che west side of the Capitol
[94398]Building. There the marchers ass embied for a rally which
[94399]concluded at approximately 4:00 p.m. on the same date. There
[94400]were no incidents of violence and the march and rally were
[94401]peaceful throughout.
[94403](WF T-1, 11/23/71)
[94405]b. On January 13, 1972, a WONAAC sponsored demonstra-
[94406]tion was held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the vicinity of
[94407]42nd Street and Times Square, New York City, New York protesting
[94408]all abortion laws. Approximately 50 individuals participated

[94419]and the demonstration ended without incident.
[94421](Physical observation, Special
[94422]Agents, FBI, 1/13/72)
[94424]2. Second WONAAC Conference was held in Boston,
[94425]Massachusetts, February 11-13, 1972. Approximately 1,300
[94426]women attended the conference, which once again re- established
[94427]and reiterated WONAAC's call for abortion on demand. It was
[94428]noted during the conference that WONAAC had been unable to
[94429]create anything like a national campaign and that local meetings
[94430]across the country had been disappointingly small. It was
[94431]pointed out that WONAAC had failed to attract the large numbers
[94432]of working women, housewives, and students concerned with the
[94433]abortion issue, including the majority of women's liberationists
[94434]and abortion reform activists. It was felt that the movement
[94435]could not succeed without the support of the working women.
[94439]Taman rede tuba”

[94445]; WONAAC strongly endorsed
[94446]the "Abortion Rights Act of 1972,'' which\is to be introduced in
[94447]the U. S. Congress by Congresswoman BELLA MBZUG from New York.
[94448]This bill would override all laws which impose sanctions upon
[94449]those who choose to exercise their individual right to an abortion.

[94501]3. That members of local coalitions confront
[94502]candidates for office and force them to take a
[94503]stand on abortion, and thet they publicize those
[94504]who oppose abortion so that the voters can see
[94505]where these politicians stand.
[94507]4. That the coalition make a special effort to
[94508]reach out to and involve "gay" women in their
[94509]activities.
[94511](WF T-1, 2/14/72) |
[94513]YSA and SWP members of WONAAC felt the conference to
[94515]be a success in that opposition proposals submitted were turned
[94517]down
[94519]in favor of those proposals backed by the YSA-SWP women.

[98992]Re: National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC)
[98993]Policy Council Meeting
[98995]Source, who has furnished reliable information in ‘the
[98996]past, provided the following information on July 3, 1972:
[98998]A Policy Council Meeting of the National Women's
[98999]Political Caucus (NWPC) was held in Washington, D.C. during
[99000]the period June 24, 1972 - June 25, 1972.
[99002]The NNPC is a legitimate, loosely-knit, open
[99004]organization of politically motivated women
[99006]seeking equal recognition in the American
[99007]community.
[99009]During the Policy Council Meeting there were no
[99010]overt attempts by any organized group to influence the nolicv
[99011]meeting and there were no individuals present who identified
[99012]themselves as members of any organization which might be construed
[99013]as subversive and/or sunporting any cause except lecitimate
[99014]change.
[99016]A
[99018]Of significance, however, was the fact that literature ‘|
[99019]of the Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (NOMAAC) was
[99020]present in brochures and pamphlets located throughout the meeting
[99021]area. All of the WONAAC material was geared to the abortion
[99022]movement and specifically the WONAAC conference scheduled for
[99023]Hunter College, New York, July 15 ~ 16, 1972.,.
[99025]WONAAC was founded in July, 1971. for the purrose of
[99026]forming a national movement of groups scattered
[99027]throughout the United States whe favor and
[99029]now work to legalize abortion. The Young Socialist
[99030]Alliance (YSA) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
[99032]are playing a major role in WONAAC.
[99034]The SWPP has been designated pursuant to
[99035]Executive Order 10450.

[99050]Re: NWPC Policy Council Meeting
[99054]As the youth organization of the SWP, the
[99056]YSA serves as the main source of récruitment into
[99057]that organization. The YSA is described in the
[99058]masthead of its official publication, “The Young
[99059]Socialist Organizer," as “a multinational
[99060]revolutionary socialist youth organization.”
[99062]During the council meeting on June 24, 1972, Mary
[99063]Clarke, who is associated with the Southern California WPC,
[99064]an affiliate of the NWPC, advised a group of volicy council
[99065]members that WONAAC had been using the Southern California WPC
[99066]name as an endorser of WONAAC. Clarke also stated that MIONAAC
[99067]had passed out propaganda at a caucus rally in California and
[99068]were very effective at taking control of small gatherings.
[99070]The Chairwoman from Nassau County in New York, whose
[99071]name was not recalled, defended WONAAC stating that "thev were
[99072]a good group". This woman's position was not supported and,
[99073]in general, WONAAC literature was not accepted bv those versons
[99074]present. Jill Ruckelshaus, a new member of the Policy Council,
[99075]is reportedly concerned about the SWP's attempts to align
[99076]itself with the abortion movement and will be using her newlv
[99077]gained position to fight SWP attemnts at control of local
[99078]WPC groups.
[99080]The NWPC organizing brochure nublished by the NWPC
[99081]has been written to assist individual WPC groups in organizing.
[99082]The brochure lists political varties and nara-volitical
[99083]organizations to be contacted by caucus organizers when forming
[99084]the nucleus of a WPC. Among those listed was the SWP. After
[99085]discussions at the caucus it was determined that the SWP should |
[99086]be removed from the list. The new edition of the WPC organizing -
[99087]brochure will not list the SWP; it has been replaced by National
[99088]Peace Action Coalition (NPAC). :
[99090]the HPAC was founded in 1970 by members of the SWP.
[99091]Its basic objective is to unite masses of people
[99092]including labor unions, GIs, and the black
[99093]community in the struqgle to end United States
[99094]intervention in Southeast Asia through orderly and
[99095]peaceful tactics. .

[99297]PH T-1 advised on May 25, 1972, that Women United for
[99298]Abortion Rights (WUAR), 1115 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.,
[99299]telephone WA-2-0381, is the local affiliate of Women's National
[99300]Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) and that about two weeks ago
[99301]WUAR decided to change their name from WUAR to Philadelphia Women's
[99302]National Abortion Action Coalition (Philadelphia WONAAG) and that
[99303]they intended t6 utilize the same office space at 1115 Walnut
[99304]Street and the same telephone number. PH T-1 added that this
[99305]change was made inasmuch as the name WUAR was found to be unwieldy
[99306]and awkward and that it did not convey the group's affiliation with
[99307]WONAAC as well as the new name Philadelphia WONAAC.
[99309]An article in "The Sunday Bulletin," Section 2, pages
[99310]6 and 7, issue of October 31, 1971, listed the various candidates
[99311]for political office in the City of Philadelphia in connection with
[99312]the forthcoming elections. Photographs of the following individuals
[99313]appeared and background information contained under each individual
[99314]photograph indicated that all were members of the Socialist
[99315]Workers Party (SWP) and that they were also affiliated with the

[99364]any information which would reflect that Philadelphia WONAAC was
[99365]substantially controlled by the SWP. Source explained that the
[99366]abortion rights issue had frequently been discussed at many of the -
[99367]recent public forum type meetings sponsored by the Philadelphia
[99368]SWP and held at the Philadelphia SWP Headquarters at 1004 Filbert
[99369]Street in Philadelphia. The discussions held on the abortion
[99370]rights issue indicated that the SWP felt that the capitalistic
[99371]system had used the dual issues of abortion and women's liberation
[99372]to keep women in a position of inferiority, whereas the socialistic
[99373]system being promoted by the SWP would be in favor of abortion and
[99374]women's liberation, and WONAAC would therefore naturally attract
[99375]members of the SWP to their organization.

[99611]Confidential sources one, two and three, all of
[99612]whom haye furnished reliable information in the past, advised
[99613]on July 18, 19, and 20, 1972, respectively, that a Women's
[99614]National Abortion Action Coalition (&HAAC) Conference was
[99615]held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street, on
[99616]July 15 and 16, 1972. .
[99618]Confidential source number one advised that
[99619]New York City was’ picked for the site of this convention
[99620]because this city is considered to be the center of the most
[99621]powerful anti-abortinn effort so far.
[99623]The WONAAC Conference was open to all women
[99624]‘who supported the Abortion Law Repeal Movement. Registration
[99625]was $3.00 per person, Housing and child care facilities were
[99626]available, There were approximately 800 women in attendance
[99627]at this conference,
[99629]Discussions reld at this conference centered on
[99630]plans for (@nerfuture activity in the campaign to repeal
[99631]all anti-abortion and contraception laws and two}to end
[99632]forced sterilization,
[99634]A Giscussion was held concerning the attacks
[99635]being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
[99636]anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their
[99637]own bodies,
[99639]WONAAC is aware of the fact that progress for
[99640]these matters will not come easy,-that it will be fought by
[99641]various groups step by step all the way, therefore, this
[99642]eonferencé was called to discuss all .the different approaches
[99643]and to decide on the major direction for WONAAC to take.

[99755]proposed agenda cet forth by the Working Committee,
[99756]mentioneG above, with the exception of a change in
[99757]the lunch heur and some of the workshop schedules.
[99759]Prior to the Saturday conference, a Soclalist

[99761]mecting was held at the Belmont Plasa Hotel on AGth Street
[99762]and Lexington Avenue at 0 AM. ‘fhose in ettendance at this
[99763]Faction meeting were SYVP~YSA comrades from HYC and Prom .
[99764]out of town. ‘The Giscussion at this .Faction meeting centered
[99765]on the procedure to he followed at the conference by the
[99766]YSA-SVP members in terms of voting on various workshops and
[99767]what stend to take which would be more beneficial for the
[99768]YSA-SYP. This “Faction meeting was concluded at approximately

[99776]coordinator. She addressed all YSA~SWP members at the
[99777]conference, asking them what. was their real reasen for
[99778]being in attendance at the WONAAC Conference. She
[99779]sceuged the YSA-SWP of not being sincerely interested
[99780]in abortion rights, but rather being interested in what
[99781]was best for the SWP-YSA. She stated that -: because of
[99782]the YSA-SVP influence being enforced on the conference,
[99783]she was resigning as a WOHAAC coordinator and staff member.
[99785]She gtated that she detested the intervention of the YSA-SWP
[99787]in this conference; that tne SWP-¥YSA has caused conflict among
[99788]the WOHAAC setarf and therefore, they cannot work out constructive
[99789]sclutions to their prodlems. She also suggested that the "Zero
[99790]Population" and planned parenthood have no voice in discussions
[99791]at this conference. Finalizing her accusations, she stated the
[99792]YSA-SHP members had no mind of their own nor did they heave any
[99793]freedom of expression of their own. She stated that they only

[99845]maximize our strength. <Any attempt to impose one political
[99846]view on everyone in WONAAC would only destroy our ability to
[99847]fight together on the abortion question. Therefore kONAAC,

[99851]“The political rallies which will no doubt take
[99852]place with increa.ing frequency around the country as
[99853]November approaches orfer us a forum for getting our ideas
[99854]across to great numbers of women. Besides e@llowing us an
[99855]opportunity to force the candidates to take @ public stand
[99856]on abortion, these gatherings give us a chance to publicize
[99857]both WONAAC and the repeal campaign.”

[99941]confidential dgource number two related that the
[99942]evening plenary session of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972,
[99943]and it was immediately apparent that the Socialist .
[99945]Workers Party ~- Young Scajalist Alliance (SWP-YSA) group
[99946]dominated the meeting, Independent women who wanted to make
[99947]statements during this session were voted down by SWP floor
[99948]leaders and these same persons continued to vote as a bloc
[99949]on all issues,
[99951]The group of independent women from various geogra-
[99952]phic areas, that is those women who were not associated with the
[99953]SWP or YSA, went together after the plenary session was adjourned
[99954]and considered the problem of how to handle the SWP leaders.
[99955]While these women were not political realists in’ thelr goals,
[99956]they did believe in working throughout the existing system
[99957]rather than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal
[99958]of revolution,
[99960]It was decided that the independent feminists would
[99961]no jJonger continue hassling within WONAAC. They did not want
[99962]te have decisions for them being structured by a male dominated
[99963]group, They also decided that money being collected by WONAAC
[99964]in the name of abortion law change was not being used for that
[99965]purpose, but rather to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.
[99967]The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
[99968]labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles." About 35
[99969]independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members and
[99970]sympathizers were present. Independents there were from New
[99971]Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and
[99972]San Francisco, .

[99991]The independents did not waiver in their firm opposition
[99992]to SWP-¥SA control @ WONAAC. Six national coordinators of ;
[99993]WONAAC were independents anddecided to resign publicly at

[100010]There were approximately 700-800 women in attendance:
[100011]at the afternoon session. According to one of the SWP
[100012]leaders, these women were from 31 states and three countries- .
[100013]Canada, Italy and’ Sweden. The states that had more representation
[100014]than others were Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts.
[100016]Most of the problems and differences between the
[100017]independents and the SWP centered around approaches to abortion
[100018]law reform, The SwWP was charged with always having demonstra-
[100019]tions and rallies and never doing any work through the legis-
[100020]lative process,
[100022]The independents stated that they were tired of this
[100023]hassle and that they believed there were more effective ways
[100024]to change abortion Jaws than carrying placards in the streets,
[100026]After the independent women publicly resigned in
[100027]front of the plenary session, two other coordinators announced
[100028]they were staying on. One was Barbara Roberts, the other's
[100029]name is unknown.
[100031]Linda Jenness made a final plea for the independent
[100032]women to reconsider. The removal of the independents from WONAAC
[100033]has debilitated the organization and most independent representa-
[100034]tives will be going back to their own cities to work for abortion
[100035]law change in organizations vhich have no connection with the
[100036]SWP,
[100038]The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
[100039]pe able to collect monies in the name of. abortion reform and

[100054]‘ - there is also the concern that women new to the movement will
[100055]join in a mistaken notion that'they will be furthering
[100056]abortion law reform.
[100058]Independents vowed before leaving New York that
[100059]they would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
[100060]effort to prevent this.
[100062]As the youth orgenization of the Socialist
[100063]Workers Party (SWP), the YSA serves as the
[100064]main source of recruitment into that organ-
[100065]ization. The YSA is described in the masthead
[100066]of its official publication, "The Young
[100067]Socialist Organizer," -as "A multinational
[100068]revolutionary socialist youth orgenization."
[100070]The SWP has .been designated pursuant

[100358]ReAL letter to New York, dated 8/30/72, wherein
[100359]Albany asked to be advised of any active investigation being
[100360]conducted re WONAAC, or if any active investigation is
[100361]warranted by Albany, FBI.
[100363]For the information of the Albany Division, the
[100364]New York Office is the office of origin, concerning captioned
[100365]organization. The Bureau has advised that as the Socialist
[100366]Workers Party and the Young Socialist Alliance play amajor
[100367]roll in WONAAC throughout the United States, and inasmuch
[100368]as information has been provided that WONAAC is, for the
[100369]most part, totally controlled by Socialist Workers Party/
[100370]Young Socialist Alliance, the activities of this aganization
[100371]should be followed, for the purpose of determining the
[100372]extent of influence and control... by individuals who are
[100373]members of Socialist Workers Party/ Young Socialist Alliance,
[100374]and who are acting on behalf of these organizations.
[100376]Based upon Bureau instructions, in light of
[100377]information set forth in referenced Albany letter, concerning
[100378]DIA RRY, an Socialist Workers Party organizer in the
[100379]Utica, New York area, and her r@orted communication with
[100380]national headquarters of WONAAC in New York City. It would
[100381]appear advisable for the Albany Division to institute such
[100382]investigation, as it deems appropriate to ascertain the extent
[100383]of Socialist Workers Party/Young Socialist Alliance activity
[100384]in its division in connection with WONAAC.

[100776]decided that an International Tribunal was pianned for
[100777]October 21, 1972. The International Tribunal would be
[100778]held in New York City, New York, and it was hoped that
[100779]plans could be made for a local tribunal scheduled to be
[100780]held October 13, 1972, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after
[100781]which individuals would be designated to attend the inter-
[100782]national meeting scheduled for New York City. This’ July,
[100783]1972, meeting was the first activity on the part of the
[100784]MWAAC as a ‘nett~organized effort following the May 6, 1972,
[100785]rally. . .

[100790]Individuals known to be involved in the women's
[100791]liberation movement in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis
[100792]and St. Paul, Minnesota, have, during the past six months,
[100793]shown little or no interest in the organization known as the
[100794]MWAAC. Former leaders in the women's liberation movement
[100795]have become aware of the SWP influence among the leaders of
[100796]the group, and have adopted a hands off policy from active
[100797]participation in the affairs of this group. While the
[100798]May 6, 1972, rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, was attended by
[100799]some 200 individuals, their attendance was considered to be
[100800]due to individual interest in the abortion issue.
[100802]MP T-2 on

[100805]SWP INFLUENCE
[100807]The MWAAC is not a committee of the TCB-SWP, nor
[100808]is it a part of the YSA-TCG. Women's liberation is a topic
[100809]of general interest and concern to the membership of the
[100810]TCB~-SWP, and the anti-abortion standard taken by MWAAC is
[100811]one aspect of the women's liberation movement of continued
[100812]interest.

[100827]: ‘Members of the YSA-TCG have in the past, expressed
[100828]interest in the support of women's liberation as a matter of
[100829]policy. The anti-abortion, or so called legal abortion
[100830]movement, is one aspect of this women's Liberation movement
[100831]which continues to be of concern to members of the YSA-~TCG,
[100832]both male and female. While the vast majority of women in
[100833]the State of Minnesota support either the repeal or changes
[100834]in present state laws on abortion, supporters of this repeal
[100835]or change also include professional women, medical doctors,

[101582]bership meetings YSA-NYL during period March, 1972, through
[101583]October, 1972. CAROL EATON, National Staff Member, advised

[101610]more fully hereinafter.
[101612]As the youth organization of the
[101613]SWP, the YSA serves as the main
[101614]source of recruitment into that
[101615]organization. The YSA is described
[101616]in the masthead of its official |
[101617]publication, "The Young Socialist
[101618]Organizer", as "a Multi-National
[101619]Revolutionary Socialist Youth
[101620]Organization". .
[101622]The SWP has been designated pur-
[101623]suant to Executive Order 10450.
[101625]I. ORGANIZATIONAL DATA ;
[101626]A. Origin and Scope
[101628]_ NY T-2 on July 21, 1971, and NY T-3 on October 1,
[101629]1971, furnished information that over 1,000 women met in
[101630]conference at Columbia University, NYC, NY, on July 16;
[101631]1971, through July 18, 1971, to form a National Movement
[101632]of independent groups scattered throughout the United
[101633]States (US) who favored and had worked to legalize abortion.
[101634]As a result of this conference, WONAAC was founded.
[101636]B. Aims and Purposes
[101638]In the WONAAC national newsletter, dated September 16,
[101639]1971, WONAAC was self-described as a nationaily coordina-
[101640]ted abortion law repeal campaign including legislation,
[101641]legal action, and nationally coordinated mass demonstrations
[101642]in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, on November 20, 1971,°
[101643]for the repeal of all anti-abortion laws and corollary
[101644]demands of no forced sterilization, and the repeal of all
[101645]restrictive contraception laws. WONAAC claims to reach
[101646]all women, black; Chinaca; Latina; Asian; Puerto Rican;
[101647]native American women; campus women; gay women; high
[101648]school women; housewives; professional, welfare, and
[101649]working women; young women; women from churches, political
[101650]organizations, trade unions, the military, and communities |
[101651]across the country.

[101656]C. Headquarters
[101658]On November 22, 1972, a Special Agent (SA) of
[101659]the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), utilizing a
[101660]pretext, contacted an individual self-identified as CAROL
[101661]EATON at telephone number 675-9150, located at 150 5th
[101662]Avenue, NYC, NY. EATON, who stated she is currently a
[101663]National Staff member of WONAAC, advised that the National
[101664]and NY Staffs of- WONAAC are headquartered at this address:
[101666]D. When Meetings Held
[101668]According to CAROL EATON, regular NY Coalition
[101669]meetings of WONAAC are held every other Wednesday evening
[101670]at Religious Center at New York University, .2 Washington
[101671]Square North, NYC, NY. EATON stated that most NY State
[101672]staff members are present at these meetings and at least
[101673]one or more National Staff members also try to be in
[101674]attendance, Other than this, state and national staffs
[101675]meet periodically, as business demands.
[101677]ER. Officers
[101679]EATON identified the following individuals as
[101681]current officers of WONAAC:

[101717]F. Membership and Finances
[101719]According to EATON, WONAAC does not maintain a
[101720]formal membership, as such, and financially exists only
[101721]through voluntary contributions. She stated that all
[101722]staff members, National and NY State, serve on a voluntary
[101723]basis, receive no salary, and get only a small "“subsistance
[101724]allowance" which the staff has found necessary to supplement |
[101725]with their own personal funds in order to get by.
[101727]G. WONAAC Affiliates
[101729]CAROL EATON stated there are presently 36 WONAAC
[101730]affiliates, also called “coalitions” throughout the US, and
[101731]that most states of the union are represented by an affiliate .
[101732]or coalition.
[101734]Ii. YSA-SWP INFLUENCE AND CONTROL
[101735]OVER WONAAC
[101737]WY T-1 provided information on July 22, 1971,
[101738]that the First National Womens Abortion Conference was .
[101739]held at Columbia University, NYC, NY, from July 16, 1971,
[101740]to July 18, 1971, which resulted in the founding of WONAAC.
[101741]NY T-1 stated that it was immediately apparent that this
[101742]conference was taken over and influenced by YSA-SWP members
[101743]who infiltrated the various conference committees and
[101744]workshops which were established to help formulate the
[101745]main direction the Coalition would follow in the future.
[101746]NY T-1 stated that it seemed certain the YSA-SWP would,
[101747]in the future, dictate policy for this organization and
[101748]would be able to control the utilization of WONAAC funds.
[101750]On August 5, 1971, NY T-4 provided a leaflet
[101751]captioned, “What Every Woman Should Know". This leaflet,
[101752]which was published by Feminist Organization for Communi-
[101753]cation; Action and Service (F.0.C.A.S.), related the following:
[101755]"The Womens National Abortion Coalition has
[101756]been icalled and organized by the SWP and its affiliate,
[101757]the YSA, including women supposedly representing Women's
[101758]Liberation groups, who in truth represent, first, the
[101760]NW 88321 Docld:32989546 Page 293
[101763]NY LOQ-174481° 0+.
[101765]SWP and YSA. These women attach more importance to their
[101766]political movement than to the Women's Liberation Movement.
[101767]And when 77% of the women in this country are for reform
[101768]of abortion laws, there is fertile soil for a political: .
[101769]party to build itself on. The SWE/XSA 1 realizes this and
[101770]is taking advantage of it." : _
[101772]On August 5, 1971, a leafict
[101773]captioned uF, 0.C.A.S." revealed
[101774]in part as follows:
[101776]ee "A nucleus of about eight feminists
[101777]: , have formed FOCAS, Feminist .
[101778]Organization for Communication ,
[101779]Action and Service. FOCAS evolved!
[101780]from the Women's Strike Coalition
[101781](WSC), which the Socialist Workers
[101782]Party abruptly abandoned on May
[101783]25th in order to form the committee
[101784]for WONAAC. Since that time a
[101785]nucleus of women from WSC together
[101786]with like-minded feminists pre-
[101787]served the WSC in order to main-
[101788]tain and expand a multi-issue
[101789]action-oriented Women's Libera-
[101790]tion coalition in the NYC area.
[101791]Assisted by loans from supporting
[101792]feminists, the new WSC paid
[101793]back nearly a thousand of the- ©
[101794]three thousand dollars of debts
[101795]incurred by the SWP women who
[101796]had controlled the old WSC.
[101798]The "Militant” issue of August 6, 1971, page five,
[101799]in an article entitled, “Abortion Campaign Counters Red-
[101800]Baiting", revealed in part, with respect to the founding
[101801]WONAAC conference in July, 1971:

[101819]NY 100-174481 °
[101821]"There were many members of the SWP and YSA at the
[101822]conference, and SWPers and YSAers are among those who -
[101823]have worked most consistently for abortion repeal and to
[101825]NY T-5 advised on November 12, 1971, that a NY.
[101826]Planning Meeting of WONAAC was held at LOEB Student Center,
[101827]NY University, NY, on November 11, 1971, to lay plans :
[101828]for a scheduled November 20, 1971 demonstration in Washington,
[101829]DC. According to this source, this meeting was completely
[101830]dominated and controlled by members of the SWP.. Loe
[101832]NY T- 6 related on November 16, 1971, that the Upper’
[101833]West Side Branch of the YSA planned to send a contingent
[101834]of its members to Washington, DC, on November 20, 1971,
[101835]in order to participate in the planned demonstration there
[101836]on. that date.
[101838]NY T-6 stated that practically all the members of the
[101839]uptown branch of the YSA, NY, were expected to participate
[101840]in this activity.
[101842]NY T-5 related on January 20, 1972, that the scheduled
[101843]November 20, 1971 march in Washington was "crucial" to
[101844]all SWP and YSA branches in that it afforded an opportunity
[101845]for selling of "The Militant" and other SWP/YSA literature,
[101846]and also afforded an opportunity for "intervening " in the
[101847]action via distribution of SWP Election Campaign literature.
[101849]NY T-8 on February 11, 1972, and NY T-9 and NY T-10
[101850]on February 14, 1972, provided information that a WONAAC
[101851]convention was held February 11, 1972, to February 13, 1972,
[101852]at Hayden Hall, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts.
[101854]The general theme of this convention was "How to Win
[101855]Abortion Law Repeal". NY T-8 stated that approximately
[101857]30 members of the YSA or SWP Boston Chapters were observed.
[101858]in attendance at this convention.
[101860]NY T-7 related on February 14, 1972, that because of the
[101861]de-escalation of the Vietnam War by the NIXON Administration,
[101862]the YSA-New York Local (NYL), while continuing on with
[101863]anti-war work through the NY Student Mobilization

[101868]NY 100-174481
[101870]Committee (SMC) and NY National Peace Action Coalition
[101871](NPAC), both of which organizations they dominate, would
[101872]also concentrate in the area of the Women's Liberation
[101873]Movement through their influence in WONAAC,
[101875]The SMC is controlled by the
[101877]SWP and its youth affiliate,
[101878]YSA. SMC initiates and supports
[101879]public demonstrations against
[101880]the war in Southeast Asia.
[101882]NPAC was founded in 1970 by
[101883]members of the SWP. Its objec-
[101884]tive is the immediate, total
[101885]and unconditional withdrawal |
[101886]of all US forces and material
[101887]in Southeast Asia.
[101889]NY T-7 advised on various dates, March 23, 1972,
[101890]through October 17, 1972, that activities of WONAAC were
[101891]dutifully reported and included on the agenda at regular
[101892]meetings of the Upper West Side Branch, YSA~New York Local
[101893](NYL) during that period.
[101895]NY T-5 advised on April 18, 1972, that the leader-
[101896]ship of WONAAC was then dominated by the SWP..
[101898]NY T-7 related on July 7, 1972, that at a WONAAC
[101899]meeting held June 27, 1972, at 706 Broadway, NYC, NY,
[101900]starting at 6:40 PM, it was announced that even though
[101901]VIOWAAC previously had accused various female activists
[101902]working along with them in the Women's Liberation struggle
[101903]of red baiting because of the stand they had taken against
[101904]the SWP-Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), at present they
[101905]are forced to work with these individuals to help strengthen
[101906]the WONAAC cause, _
[101908]At this meeting, certain WONAAC staff members
[101909]walked out and voiced their disapproval of the meeting
[101910]being taken over by a majority of SWP-YSA members.
[101912]They indicated that the SWP-YSA has no right to be in a
[101913]policy-making position in WONAAC.

[101922]NY T-7 on:-July 18, 1972, and NY T-11 on July 19,
[101923]1972, provided information that a WONAAC conference was
[101924]held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street on
[101925]July 15, 1972 and July 16, 1972.
[101927]NY T-7 stated that NYC was picked as the site of
[101928]this convention because this city is considered to be
[101929]the center of the most powerful anti-abortion effort so‘far.
[101931]Discussions®©14 at this conference centered on
[101932]plans for (one)-future activity in the campaign to repeal
[101933]all anti-abortion and contraception laws and (two)-to
[101934]end forced sterilization.
[101936]A discussion was held concerning the attacks
[101937]being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
[101938]anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their own
[101939]bodies.
[101941]NY T-11 related that the evening plenary session
[101942]of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972, and it was immediately
[101943]apparent that the SWP-YSA groups dominated the meeting.
[101944]Independent women who wanted to make statements during
[101945]this session were voted down by SWP floor leaders and
[101946]these same persons continued to vote as a block on all
[101947]issues.
[101949]The group of independent women from various
[101950]geographic areas, that is, those women who were not
[101951]associated with the SWP or YSA, went together after the
[101952]plenary session was adjourned and considered the problem
[101953]of how to handle the SWP leaders. While these women
[101954]were not political realists in their goals, they did
[101955]believe in working throughout the existing system rather
[101956]than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal of
[101957]revolution.
[101959]It was decided that the independent feminists
[101960]would no Longer continue hassling within WONAAC. They
[101961]did not want to have decisions for them being structured
[101962]by a male dominated group. They also decided that_mreney

[101977]change was not being used for that purpose, but rather
[101978]to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.
[101980]The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
[101981]labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles." About 35
[101982]independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members.
[101983]and sympathizers were present. Independents there were
[101984]from New Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York (NY), Chicago,
[101985]Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
[101987]The independents did not waiver in their firm
[101988]opposition to SWP-YSA control of WONAAC. Six national —
[101989]coordinators of WONAAC were independents and decided to
[101990]resign publicly at the afternoon plenary session. ‘They
[101991]also decided to combat SWP control of the feminist move-
[101992]ment through the various publications.
[101994]Oni The six national coordinators who-#esigned were
[101995]} JUDY, ooun San Frangisco; ANN C,ADAVIDSON , Philadelphia;
[101996]Y ROsEX WEBER, NV; VICKY, ESLINGER, Columbia, South Carolina;
[101997]Tan foue 3 NY; and “EL ENASHAPIRO, NY NY.
[101999]There were approximately 700-800 women in atten~
[102000]dance at the afternoon session. According to one of the
[102001]SWP leaders, these women were from 31 states and three
[102002]countries-Canada, Italy and Sweden. The states that .had
[102003]more representation than others were Ohio, Illinois, New
[102004]York and Massachusetts.
[102006]Most of the problems and differences between the
[102007]independents and the SWP centered around approaches to
[102008]abortion law reform. The SWP was charged with always
[102009]having demonstrations and rallies and never doing any
[102010]work through the legislative process.
[102012]The independents stated that they were tired of
[102013]this hassle and that they believed there were more ef~
[102014]fective ways to change abortion laws than carrying placards
[102015]in the streets.

[102025]After the independent women publicly resigned in
[102026]front of the plenary session, two other,coordinators announced
[102027]they were staying jon. One was BARBARAAROBERTS, the other's

[102032]aA LINDANWIENNESS made a final pléa For the indepen-
[102033]dent women to-reconsider. The removal of the independents ~-
[102034]from WONAAC has debilitated the organization and most
[102035]independent representatives will be going back to their
[102036]own cities to work for abortion law change in organizations
[102037]which have no connection with the SWP.
[102039]The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
[102040]be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform
[102041]and there is also the concern that women new to the move-
[102042]ment will join in a mistaken notion that they will be
[102043]furthering abortion law reform.
[102045]Independents vowed before leaving NY that they
[102046]would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
[102047]effort to prevent this.
[102049]IIT. OBSERVATION OF CURRENT NATIONAL
[102050]STAFF MEMBER REGARDING YSA/SWP INFLUENCE
[102052]When contacted under pretext on November 24,
[102053]1972, CAROL EATON, self-identified as a current National
[102054]Staff member, and previously mentioned in this report,
[102055]related that she has been active in WONAAC since its
[102056]inception. EATON, while 2V°'T199 she is definitely not a
[102057]YSA, SWP, or member of any "radical group", acknowledged
[102058]there always have been SWP, YSA and "radical" elements
[102059]in WONAAC. She went on to state, however, that WONAAC
[102060]has never allied itself politically with any organization
[102061]or individual, including any of the political candidates
[102062]in the recent political election and, despite its diverse
[102063]makeup as too ideaological beliefs of its membership,
[102064]WONAAC is basically an organization which strives only
[102065]to the objectives for which it was originally founded.
[102066]To this end, she went on, WONAAC would accept help from
[102067]whatever source offered.

[102074]Find
[102077]Ny i00-174481
[102079]EATON admitted there were some problems in
[102080]the past with regard to friction within WONAAC about SWP
[102081]and YSA influence. She stated, however, this matter, to
[102082]her observation, never seemed a serious one, and is quite
[102083]minimal today. With regard to the "walk out” of six
[102084]national coordinators at the July, 1972 conference in NYC,
[102085]she stated the walk out did not occur, in fact, because
[102086]of the SWP/YSA influence question, but rather because
[102087]those who walked out believed WONAAC should be a "referral
[102088]agency", while those who stayed felt it should not. By
[102089]referral agency, EATON stated she means an agency which would refer
[102090]callers to a specific location or place where abortions
[102091]could be obtained.
[102093]IV. PLANNED PROJECTS
[102095]CAROL EATON advised that WONAAC plans an inter-
[102096]national Tribunal march to be held in NYC, NY, from March 9, .
[102097]1972, to March 11, 1972. She stated plans have not yet been
[102098]finalized, including the exact location or inane event cine.
[102099]will take place. However, she noted that SIMONEXBEAUVOIR, —
[102100]a Parisian, well known in the Women's Liberaticn Movement, i
[102101]would be honorary chairwoman.

[102668]dominated and controlled by the Socialist Workers Party
[102669](swe), considering it now utilizes offices at the University

[103123]National Abortion Action Coalition (D.C. WONAAC) is scheduled
[103124]to participate in an "International Woman's Day Solidarity
[103125]Meeting" scheduled to be held in New York City, New York on
[103126]Saturday, March 10, 1973, place to be announced.
[103128]The national office of WONAAC is located at
[103129]150 Fifth Avenue, New York City, New York.
[103130]WONAAG goals are self-defined as “working
[103131]on a national scale to make abortion legal,
[103132]to end restrictive contraception laws, and
[103133]to end forced sterilization."
[103135]According to the above source, a flyer distributed
[103136]by D.C. WONAAC disclosed that among those individuals
[103137]scheduled to speak at the meeting are; GISELE HALIMI, described
[103138]as a leader of "Choisir," a French abortion rights organization;
[103139]MICHELE CHEVALIER, described as a defendent in a French abortion
[103140]trial; and CLAUDE SERVAN SCHREIBER, described as a feminist
[103141]journalist and as a leader of "Choisir".
[103143]According to the above source, members of the
[103144]WDC Locals of the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) and the
[103145]Socialist Workers Party (SWP) have been urged to participate
[103146]in the International Womans Day Solidarity Meeting.
[103148]As the youth organization of the SWP, the °
[103149]YSA serves as the main source of recruitment ‘
[103150]into that organization. The YSA is
[103152]described in the masthead of its official
[103153]publication "The Young Socialist Organizer",
[103155]as "A multinational revolutionary socialist
[103157]youth organization."
[103159]The SWP has been designated pursuant to

[103721]Re New York letter to the Bureau, 6/6/72; Bureau 0-7
[103722]» 7/12/72; and Philadelphia letter to the Bureau,
[103724]As outlined in referenced New York letter, the /* at {-
[103725]New York Office noted, as far back as June, 1972, it 7
[103726]recognized that, although several leaders of WONAAC were
[103727]known to be SWP members, their activities, as pertaining to
[103728]“IONAAC, had been directed towrd the legal repeal of all
[103729]restrictive abortion laws, and investigation had disclosed
[103731]no indication that WONAAC, as an organization, had engaged in
[103732]any subversive or vidlence prone activity.
[103734]Referenced Bureau 0-7, referencing the aforementioned
[103736]communication, nevertheless instructed that the New York Office,
[103737]as office of origin, had overall responsibility for captioned
[103738]organization, and directed the New York Office to reopen its
[103740]case and submit semi-annual reports.
[103742]A review of the results of the continuing investigation
[103744]of WONAAC, together with all indices and references pertaining
[103745]thereto, since June 1972, reflects no apparent change in the
[103746]activities or the organization @ its membership from that
[103747]outlined above.
[103749]The New York Office is in accord with the view of the
[103751]Philadelphia Division, as set forth in its referenced letter,
[103752]that WONAAC represents basically a social change vehicle which,
[103753]despite disparate political views of its leaders and membership,

[103797]“he New York Office further concurs with the

[103857]determine pertinent activities of WONAAC.
[103859]After careful consideration of this atter, the Bureau

[103966]For the information of New York, referenced Bureau
[103967]letter to Philadelphia dated 2/12/73 authorized a continued —

[104250]to channel our frustration into a public statement calling for

[104457]Women's National March
[104458]on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971
[104460]Reference is made to New York memorandum
[104461]dated March 16, 1971.
[104463]On March 24, 1971, a source, who has furnished
[104464]reliable information in the past, advised that on March 22,
[104465]1971, a "Committee for April 10" held a meeting at the Law
[104466]Commune Office, 640 Broadway, New York City (NYC), which
[104467]was attended by 30 to 40 females. It was learned that a
[104468]woman from the New York (NY) group was already in Washington,
[104469]D.C, working with others there to arrange permits, speakers,
[104470]et cetera, for the women&’ march on the Pentagon on April 10,
[104471]1971. It was stated that it was easier to obtain a permit
[104472]for a march from the Justice Department to the Pentagon,
[104473]than from the Pentagon to the Justice Department, but that
[104474]no permit had been obtained as yet, It was pointed out that
[104475]a march from the Pentagon to the Justice Department was
[104476]preferred as there would be less chance of losing marchers
[104477]en route to the Justice Department than from marching
[104478]from the Justice Department to the Pentagon, It was stated
[104479]that no buses had been chartered at NY, but i$ was hoped that
[104480]15 buses would be needed,

[104509]On September 16, 1969, a second source, who
[104511]has furnished reliable information in the
[104513]past, advised that the Law Commune is not an
[104515]organization in the usual serse of the word.
[104517]It is rather a law firm comprised of 4 group
[104519]of lawyers interested and sympathetic to the
[104521]New Left and Black Power organizations, and who
[104523]counsel and defend individuals in these groups
[104525]as the occasion arises. They likewise permit
[104527]their premises to be used on occasion as a meeting
[104528]‘ place for these organizations and distribute
[104530]some of their literature,
[104532]On March 25, 1971, the second advised that as of
[104533]now there is much confusion over the mechanical aspects of
[104534]the Women's National March on April 10, 1971, and that the
[104535]people in Washington, D.C. will make the ultimate decision
[104536]regarding the route of the march. The source stated that
[104537]in NY, information concerning buses for Washington, D.C.
[104538]will be available at the Upper West Side Women's Center,
[104539]627 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, telephone number 874-6696,
[104541]On March 24, 1971, the second source made available
[104542]a piece of literature sent out by the "April 10 Women's
[104543]Committee" concerning the national women's march on the
[104544]Pentagon on April 10. This literature contained in part as
[104545]follows:
[104547]"We are going to the Pentagon on April 10 to
[104548]serve notice on our enemies that women are moving against
[104549]them, Our urgency and our fury at the expansion of the
[104550]Indochinese war and our rage at the repression of our black
[104551]and brown sisters and brothers needs expression right now.
[104552]We are joining with other women to struggle for the everyday
[104553]things we need and against whatever and whoever prevents us
[104554]from getting them.
[104556]"We need and want our sisters around the country
[104557]to build for this action in their own ways, and to communicate
[104558]with other sisters their ideas, suggestions and criticisms,

[104833]On March 30, 1971, a source, who has furnished
[104834]reliable information in the past, advised that on March
[104835]26, 1971, a "Committee for April 10" had a meeting at
[104836]the McIntosh Student Union, Barnard College, New York City
[104837](NYC), to plan and organize for the Women's March on the
[104838]Pentagon on April 10, 1971. The meeting was attended by
[104839]30 individuals and had no chairman,
[104841]The source stated that at the above meeting, two
[104842]representatives,man and wife, from an "Action Committee"
[104843]on certain islands near Okinawa,planned a march on April
[104844]10, 1971 in Washington, D.C, to protest giving over to
[104845]Japan what they feel to be Chinese islands. This march is
[104846]to begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Washington Monument, up
[104847]Massachusetts Avenue to the State Department, and possibly
[104848]on to the Japanese Embassy. Support of the women's group
[104849]was requested; however, after the two left the meeting, the
[104850]"Committee for April 10" decided not to support the Chinese
[104851]march on the grounds that they were too "liberal."

[104873]The source advised that at the above meeting, it
[104874]was stated that no permit had been obtained as yet for the
[104875]Women's March on the Pentagon on April 10, 1971. It was
[104876]stated that the march will proceed from a "grassy spot" at the
[104877]Justice Department at noon, past the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
[104878]Department of the Interior, Department of Labor and 6n to
[104879]the Pentagon, An hour at each end of the march would be
[104880]allowed for speakers, though the group doubted they would use
[104881]it. Guerrilla theatre activity by participating groups in
[104882]front of the various government buildings was discussed and-
[104883]encouraged, though specifics were not mentioned,
[104885]The source stated that at the above meeting, copies
[104886]of a letter to Madame Binh, head of the Vietcong delegation
[104887]to the Paris peace talks and the North Vietnamese in Paris,
[104888]were passed out, describing the purpose of the April 10 march,
[104889]This letter is get forth as follows :
[104891]"March 25, 1971
[104892]"Dear Mme. Binh,
[104894]"On April 10, many of us American women will be
[104895]marching on the Pentagon. You know already of the other
[104896]actions being planned here against the war. As women, we
[104897]are coming out from separate cities and roles, trying to
[104898]create reality out of what we once held looked up in ow
[104899]imaginations. In marching on the Pentagon, we are joining with
[104900]all people inside and outside of Amerika, who fight against
[104901]Amerika 's attempt to control us.
[104903]"We've been conditioned so long to accept Amerika's
[104904]definition of us as weak, passive, and powerless, and to deny
[104905]all our feelings of love and strength, that it has been a
[104906]struggle for us to turn towards each other and fight for our
[104907]freedom,
[104909]"Your own long struggle in Indochina, and the struggle
[104910]of Third World people here at home, awakened us to the
[104911]destruction that Amerikan power represents all over the world.
[104912]Your many victories against that power have been an inspiration
[104913]to us, But it-wasn't until we joined together to examine and
[104914]share our own experiences as women in Amerika that we saw

[105428]STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY
[105430]Students for a Democratic Society, commonly
[105431]known as SDS, came into existence at a founding convention
[105432]held during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an
[105433]initial posture of "participatory democracy," Marxist-
[105434].Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant
[105435]during 1968-1969 with debate centering on how best to create
[105436]a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from invoivement
[105437]in the civil rights struggle to an anti-Vietnam war position
[105438]to advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist line linking up
[105439]the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America
[105440]with the black liberation movement in the United States.
[105441]All major factions within SDS embrace Marxism-Lenism
[105442]and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North
[105443]Vietnam as countries leading the worldwide struggles
[105444]against the United States. However, the Soviet Union
[105445]was regarded as imperialist rnd with the Communist Party,
[105446]United States of America, "r:visionist" in nature.
[105448]SDS operated under a national constitution which
[105449]called for an annual Nationa’ Convention (NC) and quarterly
[105450]National Council meetings wherein programs were initiated
[105451]and debated. Three'national officers were elected annually
[105452]with a National Interim Committee to run the organization.
[105453]Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to
[105454]the national meetings but each functioned independently on
[105455]local matters. Its official publicition "Fire" (formerly
[105456]"New Left Notes") last appeared in december, 1969.
[105458]Internal factionalism of serious proportions
[105459]developed during 1968 - 1969 and tie following three factions
[105460]evolved as a result of a split at the June, 1969, NC:
[105461]Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance (WSA), and Revolutionary
[105462]Youth Movement (RYM). The effect of the split on SDS chapters
[105463]throughout the country was divisive. Some aligned with one
[105464]or the other of the three major factions. Others, unable to
[105465]identify with any faction, disassociated with SDS completely
[105466]and changed names.
[105468]The SDS national office in recent years was
[105469]located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. It
[105470]was closed in February, 1970,

[105516]WEATHERMAN
[105518]we .. Initially called the "Action Faction,” Weatherman
[105519]po ; came into being immediately before the June, 1969, Students
[105520]for a bemocratic Society (SiS) Hational Convention (NC).
[105521]At this NC Weatherman won all three national officer positions
[105522]and a majority of the National Interim Committee as well.
[105523]Subsequently, they took over the SDS National Office (NO)
[105524]in Chicago, and controlled its funds, paper and national
[105525]records. Although internal struggle existed until late 1969,
[105526]Weatherman for all major purposes controlled SDS nationally
[105527]from June, 1969, until its WO closed in February, 1970. At
[105528]this time it no longer considered itself part of SDS.
[105530]The term Weatherman emerged from an ideological
[105532]of paper prepared by its leaders entitled "You Don't Weed a
[105533]eer” Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows" (“New Left
[105535]” Notes" June 18, 1969). This statement outlined the basic
[105536]stance of Weatherman: Marxist-Leninist in content but with
[105537]strong advocacy that action not theory would bring about
[105538]revolution in the United States. This posture was complemented
[105539]with an international identification to the Cuban revolution
[105540]and CASTRO's statement that the duty of a revolutionary is
[105541]to make revolution.
[105543]During October, 1969, Weatherman riots in
[105544]Chicago resulted in more than 260 arrests for mob action
[105545]and related charges. A program of armed struggle was
[105546]finalized during a December, 1969, “War Council” wherein
[105547]terrorist tactics and political assassination were
[105548]contemplated. The basic strength cf Weatherman was then

[105553]leaders increasingly discussed the necessity of an underground

[105555]would be submerged; “affinity groups” of three ~ five members
[105556]would function independently. In February, 1970, Weatherman
[105558]“ leaders announced a program of "strategic sabotage" with
[105559]police and military installations as primary targets.

[105588]PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY
[105590]A source advised during August, 1969, that at
[105591]the National Convention (NC) of Students for a Democratic
[105592]Society (SDS) held in Chicago, [llinois, during June, 1969,
[105593]a split arose between the Progr2ssive Labor Party (PLP) and
[105594]the National Office (NO), the N) becoming known as the
[105595]Weatherman faction. The PLP fazstion drew the largest
[105596]support among those in attendanve at the NC.
[105598]Source further advisel that during late Summer,
[105599]1969, the PLP faction of SDS established its National
[105600]Headquarters (NH) on the second floor of a loft-type
[105601]building at 173A Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
[105602]The campaign on which the PLP faction centered was to build
[105603]a worker student alliance or a campus worker student
[105604]alliance. Thus, they adopted the names of Worker Student
[105605]Alliance (WSA) or Campus Worker Student Alliance.
[105607]Source stated that the "New Left Notes," printed
[105608]in New York City, is the official publication of the WSA
[105609]faction. .
[105611]A second source advis2d during January, 1970,
[105612]that within the SDS, the WSA is a caucus of which the PLP
[105613]constitutes the leadership.
[105615]A third source advisei during July, 1970, that
[105616]during demonstrations staged ir the Boston area during the
[105617]Spring and Summer of 1970 by th2 NH, the main theme of
[105618]previous demonstrations staged sy the NH shifted from
[105619]protestations of the Vietnam War and other United States
[105620]foreign policy matters to attac<ing domestic issues such
[105621]as racism and unemployment and jiemonstrating support of
[105622]the "workers' struggle."

[105639]REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH MOVEMENT .
[105641]A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth
[105642]Movement II (RYMII) faction of Students for a Democratic
[105643]Society (SDS) held a national conference at Atlanta, Georgia,
[105644]from November 26 to 30, 1969, At this conference it was
[105645]decided to form a new organization to be known as Revolutionary
[105646]Youth Movement (RYM), characterized as a mass anti-imperialist
[105647]youth organization, said organization being proposed as
[105648]separate and distinct in form and content from SDS. ‘The
[105649]"Principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a
[105650]struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy; fights
[105651]against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression
[105652]of youth; and support of the right of self-determination of
[105653]all "oppressed nations," also support of the right of all
[105654]“oppressed and exploited" peoples "to armed self-defense."
[105655]It was agreed that RYM would not be a Marxist-Leninist
[105656]organization; however, source said this was decided in order
[105657]to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be
[105658]acceptable to everyone.. A temporary National Steering
[105659]Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was
[105660]elected to govern RYM until national officers could be
[105661]elected during the Spring of 1970.
[105663]RYM publications have listed the RYM National Office
[105664](NO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 Cc,
[105665]both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that
[105666]the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as
[105667]located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta.
[105669]Second source advised that women dominated the
[105670]founding conference and have contintled to dominate NSC
[105671]meetings to the point that "women's liberation" has apparently
[105672]become the RYM's principal issue ~- also that RYM's poor
[105673]financial condition has resulted in its failure to publish
[105674]a paper. During early 1970, RYM has decided to cater to
[105675]the working class rather than youth, since the potential for
[105676]social revolution lies in workers.
[105678]A third source has stated that it was decided at
[105679]the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RYM women had decided the
[105680]organization will be molded into a "working class, Marxist-
[105681]Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist, problack
[105682]nationalist, people's women's liberation organization."

[105707]PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY
[105709]The "New York Times" city edition Tuesday,
[105710]April 20, 1965, Page 27, reported that a new party of
[105711]"revolutionary socialism" was formally founded on April 18,
[105712]1965, under the name of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP),
[105713]which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement,
[105715]According to the article, "The Progressive Labor
[105716]Movement was founded in 1962, by MILTON ROSEN and MORTIMER
[105717]SCHEER after they were expelled from the Communist Party of
[105718]the United States for assertedly following the Chinese
[105719]Communist line."
[105721]A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP
[105722]held its Second National Convention in New York City, May 31,
[105723]to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its
[105724]objective of the establishment of a militant working class
[105725]movement based on Marxism-Leninism.
[105727].
[105729]The source also advised that at the Second National
[105730]Convention, MILTON ROSEN was unanimously re-elected National
[105731]Chairman of the PLP and LEVI LAUB, FRED JEROME, JARED ISRAEL,
[105732]WILLIAM EPTON, JACOB ROSEN, JEFFREY GORDON and WALTER LINDER
[105733]were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until
[105734]the next convention,
[105736]The PLP publishes “Progressive Labor," a bimonthly
[105737]magazine, and "Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper,
[105739]Source advised on May 25, 1970, that the PLP
[105740]utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn,
[105741]New York, and also utilizes an office in Room 617, 1 Union

[105906]of New York City, a recently formed group of women's protest organizations,
[105907]plans 4 j"March on the Pentagon" on Saturday, 4/10/71, as an anti-war protest.
[105908]v7 Plans call for the protesters, who may number as many as 5,000, to assemble
[105909]‘at L'Enfant Square, Constitution Avenue, between Seventh and Ninth Streets,
[105910]Northwest, between 11:00 a.m. and noon, and thereafter march to the Pentagon
[105912]via Constitution Avenue and Memorial Bridge. The demonstration is scheduled
[105913]to end around 5:00 p.m. The Committee has reportedly chartered 14 busses ¢
[105915]capable of carrying 630 passengers from New York City to Washingtm. The
[105916]busses.are scheduled to unload at the Justice Building, where it is reported th
[105917]women will demonstrate. It is noted that L'Enfant Square, the assembly point
[105918]for the demonstrators, is within one block of the Justice Building. The protesters
[105919]are then scheduled to march to the Pentagon, where they will hold another
[105920]demonstration and will be picked up by the busses at the Pentagon.
[105922]General Services Administration (GSA) and Department security

[108039]O-
[108041]Unless otherwise stated, all sources in
[108042]this memorandum have furnished reliable
[108043]information in the past,
[108045]On March 30, 1971, @ fist confidential source
[108046]furnished literature, concerning the Women's Bail Fund, which
[108047]was picked up at the Upper Westside Womens Center, 627
[108048]Amsterdam Avenue, New York, New York (NY) on March 27, 1971.
[108049]The literature captioned, “Women's Bail Fund" argued that the
[108050]Women's House of Detention, in New York City (NYC), should
[108051]not exist and that "the Women's House of Detention, along with the
[108052]prisons and jails across the country, is a weapon used by the
[108053]power structure here in America to oppress and exploit the people
[108054]of poor communities." It further relates that "Women have come
[108055]together in New York from many different organizations to form a
[108056]Women's Bail Fund for ail the sisters inside the House of
[108057]Deention. The Bail Fund is also working to prepare simple
[108058]pamphlets on law because of the total lack of any legal
[108059]resources in the House of Detention and secure legal assistance
[108060]where needed." The address is listed as the Women's Bail Fund,
[108061]P.O. Box 637, Cooper Station, NY, NY 10003.
[108063]on August 26, 1971, the first source furnished
[108064]literature on the Women's Bail Fund which stated, "The Women's

[108094]On April 12, 1971, a second confidential source
[108096]made available a flyer on the Women's Bail Fund which was
[108097]distributed at the National Womens March on the Pentagon on
[108098]April 10, 1971. The flyer, captioned, "Victory to the NLF and All
[108099]Oppressed Peoples" states "Women in vietnam and in the United
[108100]States are fighting for the right to live: for the very right
[108101]to exist.....the U.S. is now dotted with concentration camps for
[108102]the poor and non-white: the jails.....But imprisonment doesnt!
[108103]break the spirit of the sisters in jail. They resist! When denied
[108104]their dignity, they organize and fight back. When one sister is
[108105]beaten they organiz and resist, In the coldest part of winter
[108106]when the boilers had broken down, the women worked in freezing
[108107]temperatures in cold water to do the laundry-not ‘because the
[108108]pigs made us do it - but for our ‘own beautiful sisters.! .....We
[108109]Vietnamese, Black, Latin, White and Asian-american women are
[108110]united in our struggle - we share common goals and face a@ common
[108111]enemy. We express our complete solidarity with the NLF and ‘shall
[108112]work to bring the victory there."
[108114]On May 14, 1971, Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal
[108115]Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a demonstration in front
[108116]of the NYC Women's House of Detention sponsored by the Women'!s
[108117]Bail Fund and Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF). The
[108118]demonstrators chanted slogans calling for release of their
[108119]"sisters" from jail and expressed opposition to a proposed move
[108120]of the inmates of the Women's House of Detention from its
[108121]downtown site to the Rikers Island Prison Facility. The
[108122]demonstrators called this proposed move an attempt to isolate
[108123]the "sisters from their supporters."
[108125]By means of a loudspeaker, the demonstrators called to
[108126]several inmates of the House of Detention who appeared in the
[108127]upper storey windows, obtained their names and place of arrest,
[108128]This information allegedly was to be used to obtain bail for the
[108129]prisoners in question. Thereafter, several speakers denounced
[108130]the jails as concentration camps and called for the release of the
[108131]"nolitical prisoners."in the House of Detention. Among the
[108132]speakers was Shirley,Taylor of the Women's Bail Fund and 4

[108589]An article appeared in the March, 1972 issue of
[108590]the "Liberated Guardian" » captioned "Women's Bail Fund; ~
[108591]Organizing Our Anger", written by five unidentified members
[108592]of the Women's Bail Fund Collective.
[108594]The article relates "The Women's Bail Fund is a
[108595]group of about 35 women in New York City that bails women
[108596]out of jail (150 so far). They have been organized for over
[108597]a year and a half and did their first bailout on December 20,
[108598]1970, They have been active in supporting other groups
[108599]involved in the prison struggle. They do legal follow-up
[108600]for bailed-out sisters who want it and have been talking
[108601]with people about the prison struggle, why jails exist, who
[108602]the real enemies are, etcetmra,
[108604]The article is introduced by the following
[108605]statement:
[108607]"For this article we wanted to talk about ourselves.
[108608]So five of us volunteered to collect different thoughts from
[108609]as many women as possible in our group and then pooled these |
[108610]reflections in this article, using the words from their raps.’

[108636]Women's Bail Fund
[108638]The following are reflections of some WBF
[108639]members carried under the subcaption “Our Roots - Why
[108640]We Started - Why We Joined".
[108642]"There was a woman in my consciousness-raising
[108643]group who was in the bail fund when it was first getting
[108644]started and she talked with others about it. To some of
[108645]us it was a very exciting idea. To others it was
[108646]frightening - connecting to political activity as women.
[108647]Ultimately it ended in a split of my small group on
[108648]whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness
[108649]to any sort of feminist political action or not.
[108651]"In the past, I was politically frustrated because
[108652]I was only involved in one-shot actions. I saw what was
[108653]happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress
[108654]black people and that resulted inalot of pain for me. I
[108655]felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle.
[108656]I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware
[108657]of that need.
[108659]"When sisters want us to, we go to court with them.
[108660]When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my
[108661]head. I make judgements like this jude is better than another
[108662]one, but it's all shit. All judges are pigs. Or like
[108663]feeling good that a sister got six months instead of five
[108664]years when she shouldn't have gotten anything at all.
[108666]"IT was in the House of Detention when there was the
[108667]bail fund demonstration on December 20, 1970. The whole
[108668]tier was so excited. When someone saw the first people she
[108669]let out a scream and everyone rushed to the windows. As
[108670]the chanting increased outside we started to sing and chant.
[108671]They locked us in our cells so each person would be isolated
[108672]and intimidated about chanting, But all the women kept it
[108673]up. Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration
[108674]was different than other demonstrations. There had been more
[108675]contact. The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman
[108676]that they had known inside outside in the demonstration.
[108677]That was real important,
[108679]"A lot of it was the bail fund. The bail fund
[108680]banner with the address made it real that people were serious
[108681]about supporting people inside. It wasn't going to be a
[108682]one+shot deal,

[108696]The following are reflections carried junder the
[108697]sub-caption “Questions We Are Facing Right Now",
[108699]"There's a real dialectic between reform ad
[108701]revolution. So much of what we do is short-term support
[108702]stuff that can be seen as reformist. When prisoners raise
[108703]these demands it's understood to be revolutionary; when
[108704]people on the outside raise them, they are felt to be
[108705]reformist. I have done a whole lot of courtroom work,
[108706]both in the bail fund and before too. In fact, the whole
[108707]social work thing is what I come out of, which is why it
[108708]is so hard for me to deal with all this (‘cause I obviously
[108709]reflect a lot of that work). Social work when it started
[108710]back in the late 1800's and early 1900's came out of real
[108711]radical circles, the radicals and feminists and such. And
[108712]when you read MAO, he talks about service to the people
[108713]as a revolutionary thing. But for us it feels weird
[108714]because it has been co-opted. I think that the movement
[108715]now, trying to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that
[108716]original sense of service to the people, trying to help
[108717]people survive.
[108721]"One of the ways to really keep ourselves -
[108722]out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in
[108723]more political education among ourselves and to ask other
[108724]groups how they’ve dealt with this question. Also we
[108725]should be more involved in educating other people.
[108727]"We should be doing more for women inside. We
[108728]need to really work on facilitating communications
[108729]between the sisters inside the jail. Women prisoners .
[108730]have been slower to get organized but I'm sure this is
[108731]because there is so much isolation in the women's jail.
[108732]Concretely, we need to write more letters to find out what
[108733]is going on, send literature, but also tell the women about
[108734]each other, about what other women are thinking and feeling.
[108735]This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the
[108736]sense of solidarity. ;
[108738]"I think much of the movement is guilty of
[108739]ultra-leftism. In China the Communists worked on a lot
[108740]of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately
[108741]wanted. We're too afraid of being contaminated by being
[108742]involved in reform movements. We too often define our
[108743]enemies too broadly and our allies too narrowly.

[108758]"I've been real impressed with what women in the
[108759]group are willing to commit themselves to do and that they
[108760]fulfill those commitments. And that atmosphere of res-
[108761]ponsibility affects new members too. This is real
[108762]important. It helps me through the rough times and all
[108763]the ideological hassles and struggles we go through.
[108765]You really have a sense that everyone really wants to work
[108766]things through, search for solutions, wants to hold
[108767]together because we feel responsible for the work. “Even
[108768]the way people ask for leaves of absence when they are
[108769]sick or too busy, that they feel they want to explain
[108771]why they have to stop doing work for a while, shows
[108772]people's commitment and responsibility."
[108774]_The “Liberated Guardian" was created in
[108776]| April, 1970, through active and violent
[108777]dissent against the politics and policies
[108779]of the "Guardian", Its major aims were
[108781]to produce a "more revolutionary" paper,
[108783]to operate collectively within it and to
[108784]maintain by design a loose political position.
[108786]The “Guardian” is self-described as an
[108787]“independent radical newsweekly" which
[108788]takes a strong left position but is not
[108789]identified with any organized group. It
[108790]is considered to be the largest radical
[108791]weekly in America,

[108840]Clark were in contact with various members of the WBF
[108841]on these two days.
[108843]Judith Ann Clark is a member of the
[108844]Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) -
[108845]Weatherman faction and was underground
[108847]in 1970 prior to her arrest on December 17,
[108848]1970 by Special Agents (SAS) of the FBI
[108849]New York City, as a result of an outstanding
[108850]arrest wanted for unlawful flight to avoid
[108851]prosecution - mob action. Clark was
[108852]indicted by a Federal Grand Jury at
[108853]Chicago, Illinois in April, 1970, prior
[108855]to her arrest. She was sentenced to
[108857]three years, for which she spent nine
[108858]months in the Cook County Jail, Chicago,
[108859]Illinois, and was released in July, 1971,
[108860]to serve the remaining time on probation
[108861]in New York City. :
[108863]Jennifer Ellen Dohrn is the sister of
[108864]FBI Top Ten Fugitive Bernadine Rae Dohrn.
[108865]Both sisters are alleged members of
[108867]the SDS - Weatherman faction.
[108869]SDS was founded during June, 1962, at
[108871]Port Huron, Michigan, and in the 1960's
[108872]functioned as the leading New Left campus-
[108873]based student organization in the United
[108874]States, From a stance of "participatory
[108875]democracy," the SDS moved to a radical-
[108876]revolutionary position. It maintained a

[108891]Chicago, Illinois, until February, 1970.
[108892]Internal factionalism during 1969 produced
[108893]three main factions: Weatherman, Revolutionary
[108894]Youth Movement (RYM), and Worker Student
[108895]Alliance (WSA). The Weatherman and RYM no
[108896]longer consider themselves associated with

[108900]the name SDS,
[108902]On April 14, 1972, a fifth confidential source
[108903]advised that Judith Clark was in touch on April 3, 1972,
[108904]with a Beth Last Name Unknown (LNU), at 466 East 48th
[108905]Street, Brooklyn, New York, concerning the WBF.
[108907]The source advised that Clark, on November 5,
[108908]1972, was in touch with an unknown female and discussed
[108909]the Wednesday night meeting of the WBF. Clark discussed
[108910]the fact that Jeannie LNU, Estelle LNU and Laurie LNU
[108911]would be at the meeting at 5:30 PM, that evening at Clark's
[108912]residence. The source related that Sara LNU and Naomi LNU,
[108913]both from the Defense Bail Fund, were also expected at
[108914]the meeting. Clark discussed the fact that the WBF
[108915]has no common politics and no common political direction
[108916]at this point and the WBF could become a defense committee,
[108917]not because it would be desireable, but because of a lack
[108918]of any other direction.
[108920]The source\advised that.on the same day, Clark
[108922]was in touch with Lobenstine, from the WBF at telephone
[108923]number 663-1136, an th agreed to attend an education
[108924]meeting of the Fund. - 4

[109010](WBF) is not a leading 'eTémént™and lacks any influence in the
[109011]movement in New York City.
[109013]A review of the subject file discloses there is no
[109014]structure to the WBF and that it is a coalition of women who
[109015]belong to various groups in the New York City area, whose main
[109016]purpose is to raise funds for selected women in jail.
[109018]It is noted that Weatherman subjects have contacted
[109019]those involved in the bail fund. However, have decryed the
[109020]lack of political direction of the WBF and would like to turn
[109021]it into a defense committee because of a lack of any other
[109022]direction, There is no indication that this has occurred, and . -
[109023]the bail fund still remains a loose coalition of like-mindea /|
[109024]individuals from various groups seeking to raise funds for. 0
[109025]various purposes. Because of its lack of common political dir-- *.
[109026]ection, it has had no influence and presently is ineffective in’
[109027]the movement.
[109029]In view of the above, the NYO is discontinuing investi-
[109030]gation in this matter to be reopened upon receipt of pertinent
[109031]information from sources that the bail fund is being redirected
[109032]as a structured group for a common political and ideological

[110073]"Teach-In" and Rededication Service on 1/29/68 at the

[110075]DELLINGER made a statement in support of the "Resistance
[110076]Group" and turned in what was reported to be Selective
[110077]Service cards.
[110079]The primary function of the Resistance Group

[110085]He was arrested at Chester, Pa. on 4/1/64 and was charged
[110086]with disorderly conduct.

[110093]Tt had been reported that PATCH DELLINGER was
[110094]present at a Socialist Workers Party (SWP) Street Meeting

[110099]GER with the SWP or the Young Socialist Alliancé and that
[110100]his activities on behalf of the New England Resistance were

[110102]warrant inclusion on the Security or Agitator Indexes main-
[110103]tained at that time;and thus, the case was placed in a closed
[110104]status.

[111308]acts of male supremacy.
[111310]The paper includes letters, articles, fiction, poetry,

[111362]On April 10, 1972, WF T-4 advised that several months
[111364]ago, when several girls moved into the residence at 219 llth
[111366]Street, S.E., Washington, D.C., they were observed carrying
[111368]what appeared to be a printing press into the basement of the
[111370]apartment. :

[111387]hire, which prints mostly "New Left" material for "New
[111388]Left" organizations, yet it espouses no opinions of its own.
[111389]As long as their fee is met, they will print what is
[111390]desired, i.e. papers, pamphlets, flyers, etc.
[111392]Truth Press had gone out of business on August 15, 1972,
[111394]due to a lack of funds. Source also advised that the individuals
[111395]connected with the Sojourner Truth Press were planning on
[111397]leaving Atlanta.
[111399]On September 13, 1972, a telephone call was made to
[111400]telephone number 688-6222, the telephone number for the
[111401]Sojourner Truth Press, Atlanta, Georgia, and a recorded voice
[111402]advised that service for that telephone number had been dis-
[111403]continued.
[111405]On July 13, 1972, WF T-4 advised that several young
[111406]white girls continued to reside at 219 llth Street, S.EF.,

[111418]girls frequenting the residence, but is unsure exactly
[111419]how many reside there at the present time. .
[111421]One girl, name unknown, who resides at the residence,
[111422]has stated to source she is a music teacher. Source has
[111423]seen several girls on different occasions carrying what
[111424]appeared to be newspapers, Source states that all the girls
[111425]are generally quiet and keep to themselves.

[111431]Source stated that these three girls continue to
[111432]pay their monthly rent promptly and she said that each
[111433]| of the girls takes turns paying the rent each month.
[111435]| Source related that when the dwelling was rented to
[111437]these three girls, they made a remark that they were employed
[111438]by a "research organization", name unknown, and did most of
[111439]their research at the Library of Congress.
[111441]Source stated that she has not been in the dwelling
[111442]at 219 llth Street, S.E., since it was rented to these three
[111443]girls, but she has received no complaints concerning any of
[111444]their activities.
[111446]On September 14, 1972, WF T-8 furnished the August, 1972
[111447]copy of the "Furies" Newspaper.
[111449]A subsequent review of this issue, as well as all
[111450]previous issues, did not reflect any radical revolutionary
[111451]or anti-government theme. All issues have been devoted to
[111452]articles pertaining to lesbian/feminist interests.
[111454]On October 12, 1972, WF T-9 advised that an internal
[111455]conflict has developed within the "Furies" collective and they
[111456]are breaking up into different factions, based on ideological
[111457]differents.
[111459]NW 68321 Docid:32989546 Page 476

[111711]Re WFO report of SA JERRY M. GRAVES, 12/13/72, and
[111712]WFO letter to Bureau, 1/31/72.
[111714]On 3/6/73, WRA@2%=5, advised that for all intents
[111715]and-purposes the "Furies" organization and collective have
[111716]ceased to function. There are no plans to publish another
[111717]newspaper, and most of the members have left to pursue their
[111718]own interests.
[111720]As reported in re WFO report, investigation of this
[111721]case did not reflect any activities on the part of the "Furies"
[111722]that would be considered revolutionary or subversive.
[111724]The "Furies" newspaper ceased publication in August,
[111725]1972, and did not espouse a radical revolutionary line.
[111727]in view of the above, this case is being closed.
[111728]WFO will remain alert for information regarding any vossible
[111730]future activity on the part of the “Furies", and will repyrt
[111731]same at that time.
