- — e@ 3) fg (Judith Coplon) FBI reports had to be made public. Then why can't FBI re- ports be made available to Senate Committee to protect security of millions of US citizens? . . "ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS EVER SUGGESTED" is the way Mrs Eleanor sevelt described Senator McCarthy's charges against Dorothy Kenyon. : is attempted whitewash is logical. Mrs Roosevelt, too, was af- * filiated with Communist fronts. By lending their names to such organiza- ° tions, prominent people make it easier for fronts to collect funds and win more supporters. They don't like to admit it, but this indirectly helps CP (Communist Party}. The Communist Party...through Mrs Roosevelt...had entree to the _ White House, according to the testimony of Mervyn Rathborne in the present trial of Harry Bridges. Rathborne was a party member from 1955 to 1947. As an acquaintance of Mrs Roosevelt he visited at White House. That, too, is logical. Because Mrs Roosevelt still shows she is vastly ignorant about CP & Stalin Russia. Early this month she defined the Red fascists' views on human rights...and explained that they only consi- dered "economic and social rights” important. SHE had spoken...and so added, "It is well to have this understood by the peoples of the world.” She didn't explain why it is that only Communists and fellow tra- welers agree with this view. Outside of Russia and its satellite countries 4t is generally accepted that Stalin doesn't care for ANY rights. And she didn't explain charges brought in UN that whole system of Soviet economy is based on slave labor...that there are at least 11,000,000 people now in Red slave labor camps. Is this the Communist concern for eco— nomic and social rights she was referring to? If she is qualified to represent US in United Nations how could she write {less than two months ago) that she felt "slavery was one of the things which had long since passed out as a practice anywhere in the world"? No wonder she can say of Miss Kenyon, “even if she did join some (Communist fronts) that turned out to be so-called subversive ones, avery woman who knows her would be sure that Miss Kenyon's intentions were good". Would Mrs Roosevelt say the same thing of @ woman who had been charged with affiliation with 28 Nazi & Bund organizations, or with giving numerous speeches before Klu Klux Klan groups? And then there's the story of Paul Robeson being invited to take part in her TV program on March 19...of the announcement of his appearance before it was cleared with NBC. the flood of protests...the cancellation. But_we won't go into that. Mrs Roosevelt has just been voted most influential woman in YS. We wouldn't want to detract from her influence. . ' 100-350s/a -3 af
