Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Dr. Martin Luther KING,
1. Reference is made to this Agency's out message
number 94270 dated 25 April 1968 concerning the assassi-
nation of Dr. Martin Luther KING, Jr..
On 16 April Roderick Claflin BROWN, a Panamanian
national born 1 July 1917 in British Honduras, voluntarily
appeared at the Department of National Investigations (DENI)
of the Republic of Panama and signed a deposition, the
highlights of which are as follows:
(1) On 26 October 1962 he served as cook/seaman
aboard the Texaco S.S. Southhampton which docked at Mobile,
Alabama.
(2) While on a shore visit to the Mobile airport
on the morning of 26 October 1962 in the company of two
fellow Panamanian seamen, he was approached by Marvin P.
LITTRELL, owner of LITTRELL Motor Co., 921-25 South Clinton
Street, Athens, Alabama, who after ascertaining BROWN was
a Panamanian seaman, asked if he knew of Dr. Martin Luther
KING, Jr.
(3) LITTRELL inquired wh
whether BROWN was interested
in employment, the details of which were unspecified.
Не
went on to describe Dr. KING as "Our greatest problem who
is causing us much trouble." He gave BROWN a business card
to use in the event he was interested in pursuing the employ
ment offer.
(4) On 28 January 1963 BROWN" wrote LITTRELL from
New York City, stating he was interested in a job and
SECRET
1:20
ここ
14-00000
requested $75 for travel from New York City to Mobile.
On 2 February 1963 BROWN received a reply from LITTRELL,
restating that he had a job waiting for BROWN in Alabama,
but 
questioning why $75 was needed since the fare was less
than $40 by bus
(5) After discussions with a relative and friends
in New York City, BROWN suspected that the LITTRELL job
offer was related with assassination plans for Dr. KING.
Therefore he did not respond to the LITTRELL letter and
dismissed the incident until the death of Dr. KING in
April 1968.
BROWN returned to Panama in 1964.
3. Enclosed for your information is a copy of the
LITTRELL letter and the Spanish language deposition made
by 
BROWN, as well as an English translation of the deposition
as described in paragraph 2 of the referenced out message.

Reference to "Black Power" Concept
ACTION REQUIRED: REFERENCES
of statemen ached for Headque Mart retention are one copy each
ts on the death of
Luther King by the Dominican.
Communist Party (PCD), the Communist 14th of June Revolutionary
Movement (MR-1J4), and various trade unions. All appeared..
in the 7 April 1968 issue of El Nacional.
2. The text of the PCD statement makes reference to the
visit of
Organizatokely Carmichael to the Latin American Solidarity
Conference (LASO), quotes a statement by Fidel
Castro on Carmichael and the concept of "Black Power," and
expresses the solidarity of the PCD with the struggle of
North American Negroes. The NR-1J4 statement, only available
in gist, says that King's death reveals the profound crisis
existing within US society and shows that for the "racist
forces,
violence is the only law and is applied to internal
and external enemies alike.
"
3. Neither statement issues a call to violence on the
part of US Negroes.

¡Nuestra solidaridad plena
con la lucha de los negros
norteamericanos,
como parte que es de la lucha
de todos los oprimidos
de la tierra!
El régimen de los monopolios imperialistas norteamericanos
se conmueve por la acción de los pueblos desde fuera con
Vietnam al frente, y desde dentro con el gran movimiento por los
derechos civiles y por la paz. El asesinato de Luther King,
será presentado como la obra de la mano fanática de un racista;
pero queda clara la responsabilidad de los interesados en liqui
dar la acción civil por la violencia, de los interesados en im.
poner la mordaza a los reclamos del pueblo que cada vez más
lucha organizadamente y que comprende los objetivos de esa
lucha, de los monopolios imperialistas.

La violencia engendra violencia, Muchos siglos de explota..
ción y de represión han pasado hasta que en los altimos años
el négro norteamerica comienza a organizar su resistencia;
y en ello el papel de her King es innegable, de los más altos
meritos, de la más encomiable abnegación, aunque su prédica
de pas no haya sido comprensible por todos los oprimidos ni
la más apropiada como lo demuestra su su propia muerte.
Los negros constit en los Estados Unidos el sector mas
explotado de la clase obrera en el nivel de sueldos, en la dis.
criminación social que asume formas raciales, en la propor.
ción de les que participan en el ejército, en los planes de
seguros sociales; por lo que la discriminación y su respuesta
en la lucha por los derechos civiles tiene características esen.
cialmente clasistas aunque asuma formas raciales, y por lo
que crecientemente este fenómeno es comprendido por las
propias masas blancas que apoyan los reclamos civiles de la
población de raza africana marginada de la sociedad.
Fidel Castro dijo en la clausura de la Conferencia de la
Organización Launoamericana de Solidaridad, donde Stokely Car.
michael representaba a los norteamericanos organizados en el
**Poder Negro.
Y es que de ese sector negro, por ser el sector más
explotado y reprimido, mas brutalmente maltratado en Estados
Unidos, surgirá la vanguardia revolucionaria en el seno de los
Estados Unidos, y alrededor de ese movimiento revolucionario,
que no surge en ese sector por problemas de raza, sino que
surge por el problema social, por, problema de explotación y
✓ opresión, y porque constituye ese sector el más sufrido, por
la ley de la historia igual que en todas las épocas de la his.
toria: como ocurrió con los. plebejos en Roma, con los siervos
de gleba en la Edad Média, con los obreros y los campe
sinos en los tiempos.contemporáneos, en la sociedad americana,
de ese sector oprimido surgirá el movimiento revolucionario'.
Tan só o unos días han pasado desde el momento en que
Johnson anunciara el retiro de su candidatura presidencial,
para fomentar la ilusión de que los políticos llamados liberales
llegarfan al poder en los próximos meses con su programa de
Paz en Vietnam y de respeto a los derechos civiles, cuando
la bala disparada contra Luther King, colocara, su silbido de
violencia como la tónica de la política norteamericana inme..
diata. Los quo tienen el poder, los monopolios armamentistas,
no lo dejarán pacíficamente, no permiuran la suspensión y
la derrota en la guerra de Vietnam sin resistir por todos los
medios, sin plantear su propia salida de violencia á todas las
masas del mundo.
La muerte de Luther King no es la obra de un fanático,
sino que significa la política de un grupo social poderoso,
La muerte de Kennedy en poco tiempo se indentifico con una >
nueva política. La muerte de King es un rasgo más de la in. o
minencia de nuevas y más feroces acciones del imperialismo, 18
de. un entronizamiento de la violencia en el poder estatal, que
sólo será vencida con el triunfo de los pueblos; y en esa lucha
el pueblo negro norteamericano tendrá un importante papel que
jugar, juega ya un importante papel, del lado de todos los pueblos
:
del mundo.
Nuestra solidaridad plena con la lucha de los negros norteame.
ricanos, como parte que es de la lucha, de todos los oprimidos
de la tierra!.

¡PROTESTAMOS POR EL ASESINATO
DE MARTIN LUTHER KING! m
¡SOLIDARIDAD CON LOS
NEGROS EN LUCHA!
Martin Luther King, Ifder pacifista del movimiento negro norteamericano, Pre.
mio Nobel de la Paz, ha sido asesinado por los opresores de su pueblo y de todos
los pueblos explotados del Mundo.
SU DELITO: Luchar por la liberación de los negros, contra la discriminación
racial, contra las veraciones y la explotación que sufren sus hermanos de raza en
los Estados Unidos. Es el "delito" que le cargan quienes gobiernan para el mal a
todos aquellos que se retélan, que luchan por la libertad.
La muerte de King ba conmovido al Mundo porque evidencia en forma alarmante
hasta donde pueden llegar los ricachones racistas que controlan el poder en los.
Estados Unidos.
La violenta rebeldía de los negros y de todos los democratas comienza de nuevo
a estremecer la sociedad norteamericans.
La solidaridad internacional con su causa se expresa en múltiples formas,
Y nosotros, los obreros dominicanos, elevamos nuestra voz de protesta y
llamamos a la solidaridad activa con toda manifestación de lucha, que dentro y fuera
de los Estados Unidos, exprese el repudio a ese hecho-bochornoso.
Adoptamos esta actuad conscientes de que al sumarnos a la protesta mundial
nos colocamos junto al sector más oprimido y vejado de la clase obrera norteame.
ricana: los trabajadores negros. Y de que nos situamos de frente a los poderosos:
que con hipocresía unos y con cinismo otros, dicen lamentar la muerte del lfder
negro, mientras preparan las bayonetas para tratar de aplastar la lucha desencade.
nada,
Nada han hecho los gobernantes y oligarcas de nuestra tierra en protesta por el
asesinato de Luther King. Duelos interminables hubieran realizado si la acción
justiciera de los pueblos hubiera terminado con la vida de Johnson o de otro magnate
de la explotación imperialista. Pero Luther King era un representante de los negros
explotados, un luchador por los derechos civiles de los negros que a su entender
no merecia homenaje alguno.
Sin embargo, Luther King tiene en nosotros a sus representantes dominicanos,
a los que encaramos en esta terra los intereses del trabajo y del progreso de toda
Llamamos a todos los hombres honestos de nuestra Patria a manifestar su
· solidaridad con la causa de los negros norteamericanos.,
Llamamos a las demás organizaciones de trabajadores a repudiar el asesinato
de Luther King y a solidarizarse con la lucha de los negros norteamericanos.
Llamamos a la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo y a los ayuntamientos
democráticos del país, para que, amparados en su autonomía, declaren tres días de
duelo por el asesinato de Luther King.
✓ Que en las fábricas, en las escuelas, en las oficinas y en todos los centros de
trabajo se rinda homenaje al líder asesinado y se exprese nuestro apoyo al pueblo
negro de los Estados Unidos que es criminalmente colocado en la primera linea de
fuego en Viet Nam, al mismo tiempo que en su propio pafs se le somete a la más
cruel explotación.

IDEN A, a cleared and witting contact, provided the
following information which was obtained during a surveillance
of IDEN C. The surveillance was a joint effort of IDEN A and
local ODENVY. ODENVY is not aware that IDEN A has passed the
information to JMWAVE.
2. On Thursday, 19 May 1966, a surveillance was instituted
from Room 618 of IDEN B on adjoining Room 620, which was occupied
by IDEN C and his aide IDEN D. The surveillance was initiated at
11:00 a.m. and terminated at 5:15 p.m. During the conversation
between IDENS C and D and another unknown Negro male, believed
to be IDEN E, references were made to the Florida Gubernatorial
Race; a trip to Bimini; and several miscellaneous sex experiences.
:
On 20 May 1966 a search was made of rooms 620 and 622
after IDENS C and D moved out Forwarded under separate cover
are copies of items found in the waste baskets and dressers;
a hotel bill, and a list of telephone numbers which were called
on 18 - 19 May 1966.
4. Of special interest among these items was a note which
stated, IDEN F, please call Long Distance Operator IDEN G..
IDEN H, according to IDEN A, is an identified member of the
Communist Party. Also, an envelope of IDEN B with the name
IDEN I This person may have been one of the occupants of the

SUBJECT:
Article by Martin Luther King in Vie Nuove,
22 October 1964.
1.
The article entitled "What We Negroes Ask of the
President" and attributed to Martin Luther King, published on
pages 15 and 17 of the 22 October 1964 issue of the Italian
Communist Party organ Vie Nuove, is a straightforward expression
of the hopes and aspirations of the American Negro population
and of its determination to continue the struggle by non-violent
means until full social and economic equality has been obtained.
The article does not contain anything which could be considered
as typical communist propaganda nor anything that seems to be
directed specifically to a communist audience. The article,
under King's byline, would be perfectly proper for any American
publication.
2. At the beginning of the article, Vie Nuove includes the
following editorial comment:
The racial problem is one of the subjects that most divides
the American states in this presidential election! This
article, by Martin Luther King, that we published exclusively,
illuminates its most dramatic aspects and expresses the
requests that the colored population advances to the entire
nation. It is a denunciation of the inequality of rights
that goes beyond the secular racial question. The "you must
respect my person" is a request that the problem of Democracy
poses for everyone.
3. Despite the date of its publication the article appears
to have been written some months ago. This is evident from King
reference in the article to the fact that the Civil Rights Bill
was before Congress at the time he was writing the article. The
Bill, it will be recalled, was enacted into law on 2 July 1964.
The conclusion to be drawn from this is that the article's
appearance in Vie Nuove or at least, its composition by King, is
not the direct result of any contacts that King may have had with
PCI officials during his visit to Rome in mid-September.

· Per molti anni, nel passató, la-lot-
ta per i diritti dei negri, è stata osta-
colata, da una confusa mölteplicità
di tattiche. Nel primo periodo del-go-
verno Kennedy, si è sostenuto.che..
Pazione governativa era uno strumen
to più efficace di quella legislativa;
si affermo che le leggi esistevano ma
non erano appleate, e chè pertanto
un più energico intervento governa-
tivo sarebbe bastato a determinare
profondi cambiamenti,

tenis der tribunali, affermano un di-"

miente: in iltima analisi, sarà l'azione
governativa a determinare l'effetto,
pratico delle teži. Quanto, possano

una legge federate ha autorizzato la

violato: eppure, ancor oggi nessuno
di quegli uffici ha iscritte un solo
elettore negro. Un esempio ancor più
clamoroso. di carenza governativa,
come ha messo in rilievo il dottor
Howard Zinn, che nemmeno la le
gislazione sui diritti civili approva-
ta nel 1866 è stata mai applicata nel
Sud. I codice penale americano, al
titolo 10, sezioni 24 212. stabilisce
che un funzionario il quale neghi a
un cittadino l'esercizio dei svoi dirit-
ti costituzionali, o chiunque agisca
: con questo obiettivo, commette un
delitto, ma le violazioni di questo,
articolo sono ben più numerose del
rari casi in cui i ministero della
Giustizia ne ha invocato l'applica

_
11 fatto è che la legislazione fede-

così massiccio che non è esagera-

del paese è poco più di un'illusione.
Per il negro del Sud è solo un tragico
mito: è stato sfruttato, imprigionato e
assassinato, e sebbene lå legge federa
le avrebbe potuto raggiungere i col-
pevoli non è stato fatto nulla per di
minuire l'oppressione di cui il negro
è vittima..

"The Mission of Luther KING with the Italian Left"," dated
28 September 1964 and attributed to DEPLENARY/7, from Luigi
PINTOR, from information coming into the editorial offices
of L'UNITA The Station received the report on 1 October 1964
"Luther KING, noted Protestant negro Pastor and leader!
of the anti-racist movement in the United States, met with
various leaders of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) and of
the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) on 18-September in Rome
In particular, KING conferred with PCI Senators Velio SPANO
