i Re: EDMUND G. BRON, District Attorney, San Francisco "As Veterans who fought to prevent these United States from becoming ta godless, totalitarian state' we cannot believe that you, as an American citizen, knowingly gave your consent to be used in support of the American Youth for Democracy. "Our membership comprising over seventy per cent of the Student Body of this University would like a written expression of your stand on the American Youth for Democracy. "Sincerely yours, ‘ Omicron Epsilon SSS ———- we ot "February 1, 196 ' ricanization Comittee Omicron Epsilon University of San Francisco San Francisco 7, California "Thank you for your letter of January 16. I have refused at all times to become a sponsor of any organization or any meeting until I first investigated its background. I knew that the Young Communist League or some similar organization had participated in the formation of the American Youth for Democracy. I, therefore, called the young lady who asked me to become a sponsor for the dinner, not the organization, and asked her if there was any truth in the asertion that the American Youth for Democracy was communistic in either origin or intent. “She advised me that it was not in any manner, shape, or form communistic although some members of the Young Communist League had at one time belonged. She told me that they were affiliated with many church groups. I was also advised by her that the organization encouraged young people to participate in government and that it fought racial intolerance and religious bigotry.
