Worth, at 8:00 PH, HAROLD MANN suggested that all of the men of the group go to this meeting but that each one is to go in the meséting along and not in or as a member of a group. HAROLD said that GARCIA was informed sometime ago by MARGARET CARTER of the Democratic Organi- fog Committee (DOC), that he, MANN, was a@ Communist and that since then GARCIA has shunned MANN. HAROLD also said that he would not like for the entire group to be banned just because the group was with him. HAROLD MANN told EARLENE MARTIN to remain at home and write poll tax receipts and encourage people to vote for GONZALEZ; that the men would go to the meeting and see if the party group could be instrumental in the GONZALEZ campaign. i BETTY MANN was a little undecided as to whether she would go the meeting but later decided to accompany HAROLD MANN, but she and HAROLD would arrive about ten ninutes after the meeting started, The kter part of the meeting was devoted to discussing the possibilities of CAROLYN STANBURY's becoming a member of the group. PHIL BARKER told the group that CAROLYN STANSBURY had asked him if she could come back to one of the group meetings but PHIL said that he has to discuss Marx's theory more and make sure that she is ready. PHIL said that he is very doubtful that CAROLYN STANSBURY will make a good Communist but he said. he never turns down an opportunity to try to recruit someone into the CP group. BARKER said that CAROLYN STANSBURY has a friend by the name of NAOMI who wants to come to a meeting with CAROLYN but that she will definitely be refused until he can learn more about her, | PHIL said CAROLYN is now attending Arlington State College.
