Re: Subscriptions to Communist Party, United States of America (CPUSA) Publications by International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CCGPSU) The first issue of "Freedomways," Spring, 1961, is self-described as a quarterly review of the Negro freedom movement published by Freedomways Associates, Incorporated, 799 Broadway, New York City. On May 25, 1961, a confidential source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised that "Freedomways"” was set up by James Jackson, a member of the Mational Committee, CPUSA, for the Communist Party of the United States with the approval o£ the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. On May 24, 1961, another confidential source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised that a report was given on "Freedomways" at a meeting of the National Board, CPUSA, held on May 24, 1961. It was stated that the original plan called for the publication to be openly Marxist, but that it was later decided it would not be avowedly a Marxist publication, Editorials are in the hands of a mixed group of Marxists and non-Marxists. It was stated that the central purpose of "treedomways" is to develop a theory and positive eriticism of currents in the Negro movement, as well as to raise the level of understanding and discussion taking place in Negro life today and to project a socialist and pro~Soviet orientation.
