The "Long Island press" of November 25, 1963,
on Page 9, conteins an article written by Rotert S. Allen
and Peul Scott captioned “RFK Faces Two Politically Explosive
Decisions Involving Negroes" datelined ‘Washington. In this
article it was stated that Attorney General Robert Kennedy faces
two e::plosive decisions involving important Negro leaders
that could have a far-reachinz political impact, According
to the article, it was stated that as the government's chief
prosecutor, Attorney Genewal Kennedy must decide whether to
prosecute one of the highest Necro state officials in the country
for failing to file income tax returns, The Internal Revenue
Service, according to the article, has forwarded its recommenda-
tions to the Justice Department after a six month investigation
of this tax case.
It was further stated that the Attorney General
must soon pass on whether to permit Democratic National Committee
ci2acicais to work closely with a Negro leader, who is known
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be linked with a
Soviet agent, in a massive drive to register Negro voters
throughout the country, According to the article, this case
"which involves evidence obtained by tapping telephones, puts
the Attorney General on the spot since the Negro leader has been
in close contact with both the shite House and the Justice
Department inthe past". It wos suggested that if the Attorney
Generel oz eders a break wth this Negro leader, he (the Negro
leader) ‘could throw a monkey-wrench into Democratic plans to
register more than one million Negro voters by next year's
presidential election”,
Continuing, the article stated that “if this close
assodation isn't ended, the new administration faces public
disclosures of this individual's RED ties in the midst of the
coming congressional debate on civil xughts legislation."
