He said the Soviet Union, Cuba, and China have been accused of suppressing rights, freedom, religion and speech. He said that this was not true. These countries do not want soap box criticians but they respect the broader right of the majority and sometimes individual rights have to give way to the rights of the majority.The guest speaker at this meeting was DMITRY MURAYEV, who was introduced as a Cultural Attache with the Soviet Embassy. He presented the Secretary of the ARI with a gold watch and read a prepared speech. He said Russia wants peace and that the U.S. and Russia fought together during the war and still can be friends but Nazi elements in Germany are being supported by the U.S. Government. He said Russia would disarm if disarmament could be agreed upon but now the U.S. has rearmed Germany and they have the second largest army in Europe with rockets, tanios, and atomic weapons. He said the Russians are ready to defend their homeland against the Germans and felt that they had to do something to dramatize their readiness to defend themselves so they resumed atomic testing.SF T-2 - 11/20/61The Subject attended a reception sponsored by the ARI and held at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel in San Francisco, on January 20, 1962.

After the akit, MICKEY LIMA was introduced as Chairman of the Northern California District of the CP, who would present his views on the registration. LIMA read a statement in which he said that the CP in good conscience could not and would not register because to do so would violate the law of self-incrimination. If the CP registered, they would admit to being spies, saboteurs, and agents of a foreign power.LIMA said that the CP is leading the fight for freedom. If the present trend continues, the Government can later attack the labor unions and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The ruling party in the Government will be able to get any group they wish to register.SF T-2 - 12/10/61Subject attended a meeting sponsored by the CCCL held at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, on January 24, 1962. The Chairman of the meeting gave an opening statement of the purpose of the CCCL and the purpose of the meeting. He mentioned that the Bill of Rights is under attack and that the military forces are controlling the Government and the press and that civil rights are being repressed. He said that these things are of concern to the Committee and they have asked GUS HALL to present his views of the current situation.HALL then spoke and said that he is presently on a lecture tour all over the country presenting the views of the CP. He mentioned that he had requests to speak at schools all over the United States. He said that the CP is being prevented by law and by control of the press from expressing their views and that they only want the right of free speech which is being denied them.HALL said that at a recent press conference he was asked to give his position in the Party both now and prior to June 6, 1961. He told the press at that time that he could be referred to as an authoritative spokesman for communism.HALL said that the people don't really know what the McCarran law means. When the law went into effect he was-4-279

HALL went on to my that he went to jail under theSmith Act and that for thirty years the Government has triedto prove that the CP has been advocating the violentoverthrow of the Government and that all commmmists are agentsof a foreign power and are espionage agents etc. but has falledto do so.According to HALL, the HeCarran Act came intobeing during the McCarthy era when the Administration wasbeing pressured to prosecute communists. The Attorney Generalsaid the Government couldn't prosecute them as they did nothave the necessary evidence. Congress decided to get aroundthe courts by legislative anactment. They appointed a politicalcommittee and presented a lot of illegal and unconstitutionalevidence and came up with a finding that the communite areagents of a foreign power and spies and saboteurs.HALL said that, according to the Attorney General,the present Act is simply a registration statute similar toregistrations of foreigners, voters, dealers in securities, etc.However, a recent decision of the Supreme Court held that itis not necessary to be a card carrying member of the CF or doan act which is generally attributed to communists but it isonly necessary to have a state of mind and be in sympathywith any of the objectives of commmism and you could beprosecuted under the law.HALL said assuming he did register, he would haveto register each official and member of the Party and if hedidn't, they would be required to register or be liable to$10,000 fine and ten years imprisonment for each day theyfailed to register. He would also be required to register anycommumist organization or any association or organisation thathas affiliation with the CP. He must also list every typewriter,mimeograph machine, photostat machine, and printing press byserial zamber. HALL said that you can begin to see thediabolical threat of fascian which is beginning to become real.He said that in addition to these penalties, he can receivethe death penalty in Texas, a life sentence in other statesand sentences of 20 to 10 years in other states.

He said that communists can't even work in Government atomic plants.HALL said that California has more native right-wing support than any other state and it is the idea of certain right-wingers to unite these organizations under one group. He said that is how Nazien came about and they won't stop with the CP. HALL said that the reason the right-wing is making such an onslaught is because a different social system is overtaking capitalism and many of the older people find it difficult to accept the new philosophy of life and they oppose it.SF T-2 - 1/25/62San Francisco Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedans (SFCCPAF)See Appendix Page.The Subject attended a fund raising party sponsored by the SFCCPAF for FRANK WILKINSON held at at 99 Ashbury Street, San Francisco, on February 17, 1962.VILKINSON gave a speech in which he denounced the Government and the Supreme Court for the decisions they have handed down outlawing the CP. He predicted that an irate populace would soon force the Supreme Court to change its position on these issues.He spoke of his jail experiences and condemned the Government for segregating the staffs of the Federal prisons.SF T-4 - 2/20/62In an article in the "San Francisco Examiner newspaper of March 20, 1961, it was noted that WILKINSON was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to state before the House Committee on Un-American Activities whether he had ever been a member of the CP.
