S* < FAN groups numbered from three to 40 members each, with the largest unit located in Chicago. Their activities consisted of - disseminating ANP and FAN propaganda, picketing communist organ- izations and integrationist groups, and conducting demonstrations. Demonstrators usually carried placards bearing such legends as ‘Death to Red Traitors, " "Gas Chamber Only Cure for Treason,"'and"FAN . Supports the McCarran Act, ":and on some occasions wore red, white, and blue arm bands bearing the initials "FAN." Several years ago, a demonstration was conducted by the Chicago FAN group during which a leaflet published by FAN protesting the Adolf Eichmann trial in Israel as a "gigantic farce" and a "lynching" was distributed. ° Public meetings were also held. In July, 1963, a FAN ce meeting was held in a community hall in a Baltimore suburban shopping center. Speeches were given by local FAN leaders and applications to join FAN were distributed. The membership fee was placed at $1 plus monthly dues of $1. Approximately 21 individuals were present, most of whom seemed to be curiosity seekers and showed no genuine interest in the meeting. Interest in FAN gradually declined, and by May, 1964, its last remaining group in Baltimore became defunct. Members had resigned, become interested in other organizations, or affiliated with the ANP. - 56 -
