NY 97-1792 "Dear Ted, "twe were sorry to learn of the decision of your committee to discontinue its operations as of the end of 1963. "tmMay we take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful cooperation in solicitating your organiza- tion to contribute funds aggregating well over $5,000 in disaster relief. ; "tts we plan to continue our work for as long as necessary to alleviate the effects of Hurricane Flora, we wonder if you could let us have your matiing list or a copy of it for further use in our humanitarian endeavor.' "Gluck organized Emergency Comnittee for Disaster Relief to Cuba on Oct. 18, 1963, one week after Hurricence Flora struck the Carribean. Since then the group has eent more than $30,000 worth of medicines and medical supplies to Cuba, and says it plans to send at least $10,000 more. "qluck denies any association with Fair Play apart from the $5,000 solicited by Lee in the winter of 1953. He describes his organization as thumanitarian' and draws no conclusions from the presence of former Fair Play officials on the Emergency committee. "Gluck, accused in Congressional testimony of being a Communist Party organizer in Brooklyn, says of his organization: ‘There is a thin line between humanitarianism and politics that everyone is aware of. We're not afraid to question what is our government's policy vis-a-vis Cuba.! "But on the left in the 1960s there is no life efter death. Gluck never got an answer to his appeal for nailing lists. - 35 - CO TIAL
