Re: PROPOSED MEETING OF ATTORNEY GENERAL

WITH BUSINESS EXECUTIVES SCHEDULED FOR

10:00 A.M., MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1963, NEW YORK CITY

At 5:02 p.m., ASAC Bryant of New York called to advise that in
addition to having Newark make all logical inquiries to locate the remaining
three individuals, he has also called New Haven to have them make the same
inquiries on the chance that some of the individuals may reside in Connecticut.
Bryant stressed the fact that all logical sources to obtain this information are
closed; however, every logical step is being pursued to come up with this
information.

At 11:50 p.m., 6/1/63, Supervisor Ed Cahill, New York,
telephonically advised that efforts by New York, Newark and New Haven
had failed to develop the desired information concerning the other three men.

Information was located concerning one Joseph B. Russell, 159-34
Riverside Drive, West, New York City, telephone number SW 5-7166; however,
there was no way to determine if this Russell is identical to the Vice President
of F. W. Woolworth Company.

On 6/2/63 several attempts were made to contact Mr. C. Guy Tadlock
or his representative in his office of the Justice Department. Subsequently,
Mr. Tadlock was telephonically contacted at his residence and furnished
information concerning Charles William Rivoire and Karl Hoffman Helfrich.
In addition, Mr. Tadlock was advised we had information concerning one
Joseph B. Russell; however, it was carefully pointed out to Mr. Tadlock that
we had no way to determine if this Mr. Russell was identical with the Vice
President of F. W. Woolworth Company.

Mr. Tadlock expressed appreciation for our efforts and stated that
we had been of considerable help to the Department. Mr. Tadlock remarked
that he recognized with the lack of information concerning these individuals that
he could give us that it would create an extremely difficult problem. He stated
that the Department would immediately try to reach Rivoire and Helfrich and *
would also attempt to reach Russell although it could not be determined if this
Russell was identical with the Vice President of F. W. Woolworth Company at
this time.

VISIT OF UNITED SrATES ATTORNEY
GENERAL ROBERT F, KENNEDY,
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, JULY 14, 1963

APPENDIX
WORKERS WORLD PARTY

On April 17, 1959, a source advised that on
February 12, 1959, a Socialist Workers Party (SP) minority
grcup, under the leadership of National Committee member,
SAM BALLAN, split from the SWP,

The source stated that this minority group, referred
to as the Marcyites, after many years of program and policy
differences on varied issues concerning tactics and interpreta-
tion of political events, split from the SWP on the grounds that
the Party was liquidating itself by departing from the Marxist
precepts of LEON TROTSKY. and retreating from the fight for the
world socialist revolution, The final issue which ultimately
forced the split was the minority's opposition to the SIP
regroupment policy which involved cooperation with the Communist

Party (CP) periphery - individuals characterized by the minority
as petty - bourgeois.

The minority program, according to the source, advo-
cates unconditional defense of the Soviet Union and has as its
goal the building of a revolutionary party witn a complete
proletarian orientation for the purpose of overthrowing capitalism
in the United States and throughout the world.

On Mey 12, 1962, the source advised that this minority
group had chosen the name Workers World Party.

On April 18, 1962, the source stated that the head-
quarters of the Workers World Party were located at 46 West @lst
Street, New York, New York,

The SWP and the CP have been designated by the Attorney
General of the United States pursuant to Executive Order 10450.

Memorandum to Mr. Belmont
see

have the impact of the briefing on espionage matters.

The Attorney General has obviously talked frequently with
nd other Central Intelligence Agency officials and may
consequently have had a somewhat restricted viewpoint concem ing
espionage. His visit to our New York Office certainly emphasized for
him the importance of the work the Bureau is doing in this field.

As a matter of collateral interest, Ed Guthman, the
Attorney General's Assistant for Public Information, was in New York
Monday for the purpose of conferring with Theodore White, the well-
known author. It is understood that White has prepared a two-part
article for "Life'' magazine dealing with the Negro movement in the
United States.

This article is described as being a hard-hitting analysis
of the Negro movement. Guthman mentioned on the return trip to
Washington that White had in his long manuscript two paragraphs
dealing with the communist influence in the Negro movement. One
reference in this regard was to alleged communist efforts to infiltrate
the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) chapters at Pittsburgh and
Los Angeles. Guthman said that he questioned White about this reference
and was told that this information had been received from CORE officials,
who claimed to have taken decisive action to counter this communist
effort.

Guthman advised there was one other reference to communist
influence. No names or locations were mentioned, but one individual was
described as having been employed by Martin Luther King and subsequently
discharged. This, of course, is Hunter Pitts O'Dell.

There was one other reference to an unnamed communist,
whose attempt to infiltrate had also allegedly been thwarted.

The FBI was not asked to comment on this article in any way.
It was a matter handled solely by Guthman while the Attorney General was
being briefed in our New York Office. He mentioned it in casual conver-
sation and pointed out that FBI was not referred to in White's article

in any way.

“Did you have orders before!
you went there to arrest anyone
you saw with a sign?” Stoner]
asked,

“No, The decision was mine}
jalone — made at the scene,”
Lackey answered,

Stoner argued that the men
were picketing and that this is|
a constitutional right. The anti-
parade ordinance, he claimed,|
is “unconstitutional on its face
land in its application.” Citing a
U. S. Supreme Court case on
lfreedom of speech, styled Lovell
vs. Griffin, the attorney said:
| “A person does not have to)
have a permit to exercise his)
constitutional rights under the Ist|
and 14th amendments.”

He charged, that the men were
arrested because of the messages|
on the signs — not because they!
were allegedly blocking traffic..

“This is a case of political
ersecution hy the Police
artment,”” Stoner said.

Crosland refuted this argument,
“uying the cases were “purely
ia charge of parading without a)
[permit — there was no question!
jof violence, no racial issue.” |

Judge Loe overruled a motion
‘by Stoner lo dismiss the cases
‘on constitutional grounds. He
said that his court has “got up,
ito the maximum” in levying fines
against persons involved in raciall
clashes or the threat of racial}
clashes,

! “Here there was no such
threat," Judge Loe said. ‘'But)
if it had been allowed to go on,

there could have deveioped a’
jbreach of the peace.”

U.S. Attorney General KENNEDY's arrival was scheduled for
approximately twelve noon on July 14, 1963.

According to the source, NEIDENBERG at that time was
undecided with respect to the participation of BB comrades
in this matter, He thought that there was a possibility that
a carload of Branch members could travel to Youngstown, Ohio,
to participate, and that he would contact DOSTAL beforehand

Cleveland Hotel was picketed by the Monroe Defense Committee,
a group of 24 pickets carrying placards, led by WILLIE MAE

Attorney General then returned to the Statler-Hilton

a group of Democratic leaders of the City of Cleveland.

by the Federal Government to protect Evers. The Attorney General said as far

as he was aware no request for protection had been received but even so the Federal
Government did not have the authority or the manpower to afford protection. He
emphasized that we do not have a national police force in this country and protection
matters necessarily reside with local authorities.

Poston then asked if the Attorney General thought the FBI's arrest
in the Evers case would allay the apprehension Negroes have long felt over the FBI's
role in civil rights matters. He then related a list of several instances where he
claimed that Negroes had been murdered and the FBI had done nothing about it. He
asked if the Attorney General felt this current arrest indicated more effective action
by the FBI in the future. The Attorney General responded that the FBI has made
a major contribution in civil rights matters. He cited the Evers case, the solution
of several church burnings in Georgia and other instances of the FBI's effectiveness.
He pointed out that it is not possible for any agency to solve all cases but that since
he has been Attorney General he has been impressed by the FBI's responsibility
and integrity in all matters.

Poston pointed out that in recent years on several occasions the close
cooperation between the FBI and local southern police officers was criticized.
The Attorney General felt that the FBI has done an outstanding job. He felt that
the Evers instance should certainly convince Negroes of that.

The remainder of the program was devoted to a discussion of pending
civil rights legislation and there were no further references to the FBI.

Some Friendly,
Others Ignore
Bob Kennedy

By DAVE CHESNUTTT
Journal Staff Writer
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy left Montgomery today
al 11:30 a.m. for Columbia, 8.C.,
atter conferring with Gov. George

C. Wallace for an hour and 20 |

minutes in the governor's office.
. The attorney general was zreet-
ed today with both friendliness
and cool disdain by the milling
crowd of some 300 persons who
had gathered this morning at
‘the State Capitol.

| Kennedy arrived for his con-
ference at 3.35 am., less than
20 minutes alter 17 segregationist
idemonstvators were hauled off
‘by local police for parading with-
out a permit.

Both Kennedy and Wallace said
after their niecting that they had
not been aware that the picket-
jing had taken place or that the
'pickets had been arrested.

! In contrast to the picket slogans

such as ‘Koon Kissin’ Kennedy,”
the atlorncy general was reeled
warmly by many of the onlookers
LoWitenhe offered bis Hand:

SOME_DON'T SHAKE:

Only five or six people refused
to shake Kennedy's hand when
the held it out to them. In several
{cases, he went out of his way to
shake hands with people crowding
lon the Capito! stairs and children
'Zathered in the corridors.

"sn unusual protest to Kennedy's
imeeting with the governor came
sin the form of flowers.

| A wreath bearing a small Con-
'federate flag was placed over the
tamed star which marks the spot
yon the Capitol steps where Jef-
iferson Davis was inaugurated as
the first president of the Con-
{eceracy,

Mrs. J. F. Dugger of Hope Hull
explained that she placed the
wreath over the star to keep it
‘from being stepped on by “an
enemy foot.
! When Kennedy was approach-
ing the entrance of the Capitol.
la shout from the crowd warned
:"Don't step on those flowers.”
Hin his exit, Kennedy tactfully
lavoiding going between the col-
‘umins where the star is located,
WORE SMILE
' Kennedy wore a smile throu;
oft the eventual morning at
wprmly greeted all he met. How-
ever, afler the conference with

Wallace, the boyish-fased attoy-
ney general did seem a bit ruf-

fled,

His appearance was explained
when he told members of the
Press that the meeting had re
Sulted only in the governor ex-
Plaining his strong stand on seg-
regation with no compromise on

the racial issue in sight. ;

Kennedy began his day this/
morning by having breakfast with
two federal judges, Richard T.!
Rives of the 5th Circuit Court of
Appeals and Frank M. Johnson
of the District Court here. °

After the breakfast at Maxwell
Air Force Base where Kennedy;
had spent the night, he kept his;
,9 a.m. apopintment with the gov-
ernor.

Following the conference. he
janswered Newsmen's questions on
ithe topics he and Wallace dis-
cussed. They included: Integra-
tion at the University of Ala-
bama; court matters involved in
rafial issues; Montgomery ai
its] beauty; Negro Beni

cafes; the’ national Democrat!
pa.ty.

Summing up the conference,

the attorney general said, “His
(Gov. Wallace's) position has not
changed, my position has not
changed.”
| Leading a cordon of highway
patrolmen, Kennedy moved out
uf the governor's office into the
throng of people gathered in the
corridors,
i One of kis staff menibers fell
behind the patrolmen who were
‘clearing the way. On catching up
‘with them, he found he could not
get back inside with his boss so
he hung onto one of tie patrol-
men's belts.

Once inside and in the c:
which was to carry him to Max-
well where he was scheduled to
take-off al IL a.m. Kennedy
changed his plans and stopped
at the Advertiser-Journa! building

Memorandum

TO : The Director DATE:
FROM : N. P. Callahan

SUBJECT: The Congressional Record

‘committee repeatedly that the Federal Government has no evidence that any of
Is the major civil rights groups are influenced by Communists. The article states
| “Contrast these statements with testimony given by J. Edgar Hoover, Director
; of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, on the same subject matter. On January 24,
| 1962, Hoover testified before the Appropriations Committee of the House of
( Representatives, as follows: ‘Since its inception the Communist Party, U.S.A.,
\ has been alert to capitalize on every possible issue or event which could be used
} to exploit the American Negro in furtherance of party aims. In its efforts to
j influence the American Negro, the party attempts to infiltrate the legitimate
‘| Negro organizations for the purpose of stirring up racial prejudice and hatred. * .
[} --- Our. readers have a choice. They can believe Kennedy, one of the most
cynical politicians and inept Attorney Generals in the history of the United States,
or they can believe Hoover, one of the finest law enforcement officers in the
history of this or any other country, and a man of the greatest integrity." Pages
13667-13668, contain an article from the Washington Evening Star of August 5,
1963, captioned "Communist Righters?" which states that in answer toa request
by Senator Monroney, (D) Oklahoma, as to whether this summer's demonstrations
have been Communist-inspired, the Attorney General replied "Based on all
available information from the FBI and other sources, we have no evidence that
any of the top leaders of the major civil rights groups are Communists, or
; Communist-controled." The article further states ‘One Mississippi State
' legislator has labeled Mr. Kennedy's statement a ?whitewash.* We do not believe

| this, But the FBI information on Communist penetration of the rights movement
+ should be made public."*

in June 1961 in the wake of racial violence which
occurred in May 1961 at Montgomery, Alabama, following '
the arrival of “Freedom Riders" who were testing facilitied
of bus stations and terminals in the South. It is
affiliated with the NSRP (national Leadquarters in
Birmingham, Alabama), and it was organized with the stated
«ims and purposes of fighting racial integration, Jews

The same source advised in November 1962 that
the Alabama State Chairman of the NSRP, who also acts
as the principal leader of the Montgomery, Alabama

charge of kidnaping growing out of a racial incident which

occurred in Monroe, N.C., during August, 1961. It is felt that

told Wick yesterday that since the appearance of Governor Rockefeller's charge in

ever made inquiry concerning any reporter at the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee.
| The book involved here is "JFK: The Man and The Myth" by Victor Lasky which in some

moo CRITICISM BY ATTORNEY GENERAL

The "New York Herald Tribune” of October 12, 1963, carried a story
captioned "Rocky's Jab At Kennedys' 'Intimidation'" referring to reputed attempts
by the Attorney General to intimidate two unfriendly writers, The Director asked,
"Do we know anything about the 2 incidents? H."'

The first case reiated by Governor Rockefeller to an audience consisting
of the Indiana Bar Association at French Lick, Indiana, October ll, 1963, is
as follows:

The Governor said that a "national news correspondent, " reporting
on the Billie Sol Estes case, went to the Attorney General's office to ask about it,
"The Attorney General, with the Chief of the Criminal Division present, berated
and quizzed the reporter for most of one hour about incidents in his own career." The
Governor said that during the interrogation, the Attorney General leafed through :
pages of what appeared to be a lengthy investigative report about the newsman, —

While Governor Rockefeller does not name the reporter referred to above?

the "New York Herald Tribune." Assistant Director Evans, inaninformal memoto |
Mr. Belmont dated June 20, 1962, reported that Mazo and the Attorney General hada *
most heated discussion, according to Assisart Attorney General Miller of the ‘
Criminal Division, on June 19, 1962. The language used would make a sailor blush.
Mazo accused the Actorney General of running a dishonest investigation and the

1 supject: APPEARANCE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
ON PROGRAM "MEET THE PRESS"
JUNE 23, 1963

This program, originally scheduled for presentation at 6 p.m. over
the NBC television network, was delayed in the Washington area due to a golf play-off
and was actually shown at 7 p.m.

For one-half hour the Attorney General was questioned by 4 newsmen
identified as Lawrence Spivak (a program regular), Herb Kaplow of NEC News,
Jack Kilpatrick of the "Richmond News-Leader" and Ted Poston of the "New York,
Post." The majority of the program was concerned with the civil rights situation.
In the opening question Spivak asked Mr. Kennedy about the planned demonstration of
100, 000 Negroes scheduled for mid-August in Washington in an effort to pressure
Congress to pass the President's civil rights program. Mr. Kennedy was most
emphatic in opposing such action and stated Congress should not be faced with such
pressure while debating legislation.

Mr. Kilpatrick asked if Negroes were being hired in the Justice Depart-
ment because they were Negroes and the Attorney General responded such was not
the case. He said Justice is looking constantly for good Negro employees and since
he took over has actually hired many. Mr. Kilpatrick then wanted to know what the
Attorney General felt was the responsibility of Negroes in preserving law and order.
The Attorney General felt they should obey the law.

Mr. Kilpatrick then brought up the arrest by the FBI carly Sunday
morning of a suspect in the Medgar Evers case and asked was there any evidence
beyond the fingerprints. The Attorney General indicated that was possible, that
the FBI and the Justice Department were working closely with the Jackson,
Mississippi police and he did not desire to make any further comments. Mr. Kaplow
then asked who would try this suspect first. Mr. Kennedy stated that he had called
the Mayor of Jackson following the arrest and that the Justice Department wou ‘ Ob
defer prosecution to the State Court since a more serious was involve there A
He pointed out that a major effort had been made in this case and the Jackson ‘Potice’ ~~
Department was the agency which uncovered the fingerprint on the gun. eg cae

VISIT OF UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL
ROBERT F, KENNEDY, YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO,
JULY 14, 1963

On July 6, 1963, a confidential source furnished the
following information:

MILTON NEIDENBERG, also known as SEAMAN, Buffalo Branch
Organizer of the Workers World Party (wwe ) was in contact with
TED DOSTAL, Youngstown, Ohio, WWP Organizer, that date.

Characterizations of the WWP and the Buffalo
Branch (BB) WWP appear in the appendix section
of this memorandum,

According to the.source, NEIDENBERG was informed by
DOSTAL that a picnic was scheduled for the benefit of WILLIE MAE
MALLORY (see below) in the Youngstown, Ohio, area on Sunday,
July 14, 1963. Reportedly, TED DOSTAL had been successful in
obtaining a permit for use of Mill Creek (phonetic) Park for
this picnic and had also distributed leaflets publicizing the
affair. WILLIE MAB MALLORY was scheduled to speak at six o'clock,
and there was a possibility that a "surprise speaker” would also
appear, The source was unable to furnish any additional infor-
mation regarding the identity of the "surprise speaker."

A second confidential source advised on February 17,
1959, that JIM MALLOY, while addressing a meeting
of the Harlem Region Communist Party (CP) on
February 11, 1959, identified WILLIE MAE MALLORY

as a member of the CP.

On March 6, 1959, a third confidential source
advised that JIM MALLOY, as of March, 1959, was
Organizer of the Harlem CP.

To : MR, BELMONT

FROM : Cc. A, EVANS

j iN SUBJECT: COMMUNISM AND THE

pvt NEGRO MOVEMENT foro of 78) 7

The Attorney General telephoned at approximately 10:15 a. m
He advised that he had tried to call the Director who was temporarily out of
the building. The Attorney General stated he had just learned that the Army
had received a copy of a report submitted to the Attorney General about the
communist activities of Martin Luther King. The Attorney General was referring
to the report captioned "Communism and the Negro Movement -- A Current
Analyses," dated October 16, 1963. There is no question this is the report
-|to which he is referring, although he persisted on calling it the report on the
communist background of Martin Luther King.

The Attorney General said he would like to know what other
dissemination was made of this report in addition to the Army and the purpose
for such dissemination. He was obviously irritated. He went on to ask if the
‘Army got copies of all reports submitted to him. I told the Attorney General that

obviously the Army did not get copics of all reports we sent to him personally,
but that there were hundreds of reports that did go to the Army that did not
concern matters of sufficient importance to warrant the Attorney General's personal
attention, I pointed out to him that we regularly submitted some type of reports

in matters of current interest under our Internal Security jurisdiction, and that !
dissemination of these summaries was made to the military authorities as well \-
jas other top governmental officials because of responsibilities they have in this
connection,

~

The Attorney General asked what responsibilities the Army had in ‘
‘relation to the communist background of Martin Luther King, I told the Attorney *
General the report went beyond this and that the Army had an interest in communist
‘activities particularly in relation to racial matters beca ae the ntifitary had to be
called on if civil disturbances arising out of such matt Neca | b ong t the poy

‘of the civilian authorities, nor RECORDED

WR ae
This explanation seemed to serve no purpose. The ‘Rttorney General

said he still could not understand why we sent a report.to the Army-on King's
communist activities. He reiterated his request for information as to the dissemina-
tion of the report in question and the purpose for it. :_~.= wea

Barnett Said ~
Nof Entitled
To Jury Trial

Asst. U.S. Alty. Gen. Burke
Marshall said here last night
the Justice Department contends
that Mississippi Gov. Ross R.
Barnett does not have a constitu-
tional right to a jury trial for
criminal contempt of the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals.

Marshall, who heads the de-
Partment’s civil rights division,
said this is the posilion the gov-
ernment will take in arguments
on the Barzet case before the
U.S. Supreme Court.

Marshall said tbe government's
position is that a jury trial in the
Barnett cuse is discretionary with)
the court, not mandatory, If it;
should he held mandatory, he went}
oa, there would be a question of
whether it would be held before
the district trial court or before
the Court of Appeals.

Marshall conceded that it is
likely that Rarnett will be out of
office hefore the question of the
jury trial is settied and the actual
trial gets underway.

The issue of the jury trial went
{o the U.S. Supreme Court when
the Court of Appeais split evenly
on the question. Four of the judges
held Barnett has a constitutional
right to a jury trial while the
other four heid that he is not.

The criminal contempt proceed-
ing against Barnelt arese out of
his refusal to admit a Negro stu-
dent, James H. Meredith, to the
University of Mississippi as or-
dered by the appellate court.

Marshall accompanied U.S.
Nae Gen. Robert F. Kennedy on

his visit here for a mgating with

But they are all welcome. All are

An Atlanta attorney who is also|
a leader in the Ku Klux Klan
Wednesday claimed that a city
ordinance forbidding parades and]
public demonstrations is uncon-
stitational and that the rights of;
17 men arcested at the State
Capitol last week were violated.

Tronicatly, the arguments of J.
1B. Stoner have been expounded)
in earlier cases in behalf of Negro}
demonstrators in Montgomery and
Birmingham.

Of the 17 men arraigned before
‘Judge D. Eugene Ie in Re-
jcorder’s Court, 16 were convicted
lof violating the anti-parade or-
jdiianee. The case against How-

 tludson, 40, of 490-B Lanier
a was nol prossed at the re-

st of the city prosecutor, Dave
Cbsland, who said there was
Ino evidence he took part in the
|sign-carrying parade held in front
lof the capitel in protest to a
{visit by U. S. Atty. Gen, Robert}
F. Kennedy.
‘PRINCIPAL WITNESS

16 filed notice of appeal and six

iwho placed the defendants under
arrest, was the principal witness)
jof the cu At about 8:30 a.m.
von Apri 5, he said, the group,
lof demonstrators began moving’
up and down the sidewalk at Dex-

“AL his time [hey were hlock-

He said be asked tiem if they:

and to leave the immediate area.
