Eleanor Roosevelt — Part 24

U S CONSULAR OFFICIAL FEATURES ENTERTAINER FOR COMMUNIST PARTY. In
one of her "My Day" columns, written during her trip to Sweden last month,
Mrs mage revealed that she had attended a very pleasant dinner
party givey#l by the Counselor of the U S Stockholm Embassy and his wife.
fter dinner the gues¢s relaxed while they were entertained by a
Se awed sh architect, who playsd the guitar and sang native folk songs, and by
an American artist, J ITE", as Mrs Roosevelt wrote.
ITE evidently made a hit. Americans attending the party joined
in with him when he sang Negro spirituals...just as many U S Communist lead-
ers did in 1945, when JOSH WHITE entertained at a Communist celebration in
honor of convicted CP leader BE AVIS.
Other organizations 1 officially cited as Communist fronts, for
which JOSH WHITE has entertained, are listed in RED CHANNELS.
Why doesn't State Dept keep its foreign service officers informed
os she Couxunist front backgrounds of Americans who travel abroad?
What's the sense of fighting Communism and Communist fronts here,
and in Korea, if State Dept officials feature front supporters as entertain-
ers in foreign countries?
Yours faithfully,
.
