It was also reported in 1945 that Danny Kaye was the principal
speaker at a rally held in Chicago by the American Youth for Democracy organi-
_ gation. The purpose of the rally was to prevent further racial disturbances in
Chicago schools.

It is noted that the
Chicago Action Council has been described by the "Sentinel, ''a weekly newspaper
published in Chicago, as a group “committed to the defeat and eradication of
Fascism." In addition, the American Youth for Democracy has been cited
pursuant to Executive Order 10450,
Danny Kaye has toured the Bureau on two occasions, the latter
being with his wife and daughter on 6-26-56, During this latter tour he briefly
shook hands with the Director.
(100 -384592)
Other information of a public source nature regarding Danny Kaye
has been prepared in the form of a blind memorandum and is attached.
The Bureau has received numerous inquiries regarding the Cinema
Educational Guild and its tract entitled "The Reds Are Back in Hollywood!!!"
This tract urges citizens not to patronize "Reds" in the movie and television
industry and lists a number of actors, writers and et cetera whom they label as
“Reds and fellow-travelers, " among whom is the name Danny Kaye. We have
not conducted an investigation of the Cinema Educational Guild; however, our
discreet inquiries reflect it is allegedly an anticommunist group which has been
responsible for the distribution of anticommunist anti-Negro and anti-Semitic
pamphlets. has in the past attempted
to use the Director's name in furtherance of his programs and it has been necessary
on several occasions to contact him and admonish him to refrain from mentioning
the FBI in any manner.
RECOMMENDATION:
That someone in your (Mr. DeLoach's) Office contact Senator Kuchel
regarding his inquiry and, if deemed appropriate, furnish him the attached blind
merporancum coptaip “pablic source information on Danny Kaye. '
