On May 3, 1965, a third source made available a leafler distributed by Seattle Women Act for Peace (SWAP) (see appendix), local affiliate of WSP which stated in part, that Mrs. DONNA ALLEN, a national leader of WSP; Mrs. DAGMAR WILSON, founder and leader of WSP; and RUSS NIXON, General Manager of the "National Guardian" (see appendix) were "found guilty of contempt in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia for refusing to testify at a cicsed meeting of HUAC (they had expressed a willingness to testify at an open hearing where their views would not be subject to possible distortion by HUAC, as has happened at other closed HUAC hearings)."

TAIMI said she was tired after working long hours on the Seattle conference to be held Saturday, January 20th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle at which the Seattle delegation would report. HALONEN made the observation, however, that the women working on the program were all very experienced leaders and she trusted they would formulate a satisfactory program. On Monday, January 15, 1968, the delegates including the group from Washington State, met at the Union Station in Washington, DC. It was learned here that the instructions which had been given the day before at the Shoreham Hotel were evidently for the California group only, because many California pecple had been badly beaten in previous demonstrations and they were very cautious and somewhat apprehensive. The official pattern was different. Mimeographed sheets headed "Jearrette Rankin Brigade ~ Information and Instructions" were passed out and these appeared to be the official instructions. A reproduction is attached. r? a ee - the Washington State delegation was enlarged when a Mrs, BACKUP from Tacoma arrived. RADER said some of the money usually received from wealthy contributors had been collected by Mrs. BACKUP. Reverend HAROLD-BASS of Tacoma collected . ---~. $179.00, and wanted someone elise te go instead of ZEFRA (STUDAMIRE). RADER defended herself when TAIMI HALONEN criticized her for bringing ZEFRA along since ZEFRA is at least six months pregnant. After the demonstration, HEALY and RADER spent much of the time urging the speakers to include in their talks some- thing about the status of the American Indian. ELLA BAKER from New York did include a paragraph rrom the paper the Washington State delegation submitted -to Congress. This was entitled, "American Indians and the Struggle for Peace". It had been prepared by LONNIE HEALY alithough at its bottom it carried the notation "(Prepared by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade Delegation from Washington State)." RADER, HEALY, and CORR became indignant because the audience did not give a standing ovation to Mrs. MARTIN L. KING, Jr. or any of the Negro speakers. —CONFIDENTIAL ~5-+ a
“ RE: DEMONSTRATIONS PROTESTING UNITED STATES POLICY - IN VIETNAM; WASHINGTON, D.C., JANUARY 15, 1968 * camnnbeaaonte tome sete ~ . s CONPEDEMTT A HEALY expressed great dissatisfaction with the basic organization ci the gathering. She wanted an organi- zational meeting instead of a raily type meeting which occurred. HALONEN and ROBEL agreed somewhat. HEALY implied the whcle thing was a waste of her time. In the workshop section of the meeting, HALONEN worked in the legislative action section; HELEN FRENCH and ELAINE HORSLEY in the electoral campaigns; and HEALY and CORR in racism. Here, too, the younger women were very critical. HEALY, particularly, resented having men as “resource people" for the group. She said she thought this was a women's congress. TAIMI said she found herself ina situation that was quite different in that she was working with a very broad spectrum of politically and economically oriented individuals and it was a real learning experience.. ELAINE HORSLEY was anxious to get back home and work for peace while the spirit of JEANNETTE RANKIN was still fresh. She and HELEN FRENCH expressed the view the congress met the needs of American women in giving a concrete program on which to work. Tuesday, January 16, 1968, was for lobbying. The Seattle and Tacoma people were told to meet at the Methodist Building, 100 Maryland Avenue. HALONEN, ROBEL, HEALY, HORSLEY, and HELEN FRENCH arrived before the appointed time. After about an hour, EMELIA CASSIDY arrived stating RADER had an eye problem and would be unable to attend. Mrs. BACKUP joined the group. LINDA CORR and ZEFRA were too tired to get up so early. The group called on Washington State's Senators JACKSON and MAGNUSON, but they were not in their offices. After leaving a copy of the women's petition and a questionnaire prepared by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (see attachment} they called on Washington State's Congressmen FLOYD HICKS and BROCK ADAMS. Mr, HICKS was out or town. Mrs. HORSLEY knew.the.. . Congressman personally and her son knew two of the ‘office ~ us personnel. She asked that they relate to him that she was vitally interested in peace and social justice. Congressman BROCK ADAMS was in his office and spent about twenty minutes talking with the group concerning his political views and some of the political machinations of his party. The group then began to disintegrate. ELAINE HORSLEY left to get a 2:30 flight to Boston where she would visit her son who is attending Harvard University.

RADER stayed also. The rest of the group, HEALY, CORR, ZEFRA (STUDAMIRE), CASSIDY, and FRENCH went to Friendship Airport and boarded UAL Flight 41 for Seattle. While in Washington, HEALY kept trying to call a CARL BLOICE who the source thought used to be either in Seattle or San Francisco, but she never reached him. The workshops held on January 15th after the march were: (1) Legislative Action (2) Electoral Campaign (3) Press (4) New Women in New World (5) War at Home (6) Resistance (a) Action (b) Draft (c) Direct Action (7) Church (8} Schools Reproductions of other documents received by the first source at Washington, D.C. are set out at the end of this _Iemorandum. = = ee ce On January 23, 1968, the fifth source advised a meeting of the Trade Union CP Club was held at Tacoma, Washington, on January 18, 1968, at which EMELIA CASSIDY, also known as MILLIE CASSIDY, a member of that club, reported on her trip to Washington, D.C. She stated she stayed at DONNA ALLEN's home there. She said MARJORIE RADER got an eye infection which kept her from going to the march. RADER remained at ALLEN's residence.

Casey stated there were tco many rules to follow. The delegates weren't premittec to carry a nail file, wear peace buttons, or exhibit RANKIN buttons. They had to walk Six abreast and were not allowed to march around the White House. She said a suit will be brought in court for this denial of their rights. She went on to state each person had or was given $10.00 to carry on his person so he could not be arrested for vagrancy. CASSIDY said a nurse, Mrs. HELEN MsTUUGK , had been very helpful to the’ group. COOK told CASSIDY she could be reached at 719 Beechwood Road, Media, Pennsylvania, if more information is desired concerning Veterans for Peace, which was not further described. GUY RADER, a CP member at this meeting, tried to stop CASSIDY when the latter complained ZEFRA STUDAMIRE was too immature to have been sent to the conference, but CASSIDY wasn't easy to stop. She was incensed over the fact money had been used for STUDAMIRE's trip and the latter refused to cooperate. RADER and STUDAMIRE remained in Washington, D.C. after the conference to handle some business with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) according to CASSIDY.

Some Indias youth view the television prograu vuster" as indicacive of racist America. The National Congress of American iadians opposes suis distortion of history. Beatings and murder of Indians in taine go unchallenged. Congress voted in 195 to open up Indian land reservations to state jurisdiction. In actuality, this rides established tribal courts and federal jurisdiction, It gives local bigoted authorities more oOpportunizy to harrass and open the way to termination of our treaties and in several places resulted in actual loss of land. It is as deadly to be an Indian in America as it is to be a soldier in Viet Nam. In the three years before 1907, more Indian children below tne age of 16 had died in this country than the 6,628 U. S. combat casualties of tle entire Viet Nam War (as of the end of 1966). Most of these were children below the age of six. ; The price we pay is the built-in racism our children are taught in school, over television, in-eartoons; the Indian has become a joke, to white Americans, We pay because we don't know our own history. The thread of struggle for self-determination runs through the history of Indian-Americans. When a few Indian youth speak of Red Power, the roots go deep into their history in finding nourishment for this demand. Just as some Negro leaders today speak of W.E.B. DuBois as having raised the same issue cf identity long before the level of struggle, which is Black Power, arrived. This struggle has gone on for 400 years. The Indian people have been sending spokesmen to bring their grievances and their positions before the power structure of this country for two hundred years. They have fought in the courts since at least 1330 when the case of the Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia tested the ability and the willingness of the United States to protect an Indian Tribe in its efforts at self£-determination. The Vietnamese war is a continuation of the whole racist war we have waged asainst the Indian People. Understanding this is a part of understanding the Viet Nam war. We respond to what is happening to Vietnamese children, yet the Indian people have suffered from the same policy of extermination and destruction of their identity. F We must unite with the strivinys of those who have had to deal with United States' genocide for 200 years! We can help to push the United States to ratify the United Nations Resolution, "Treaty Against Genocide", that the United States should correct the history and policy of genicide against the Indian people. Today this vefers to the destruction of their identity as'a people and linke with the struggles of people for their identity all over the world.

"Welfare" has boen a bone of contention ever since. 3 Greenleigh Report woe In 1963, the Washington Legislature appropriated $20,000 for a study of the state's public assistance programs. The study was made by Greenleigh Associates, and the Greenleigh Report was presentod in December, 1964, © This report stated that public assistance grants in Washington, with standar s based on 1959 prices and 12% ratable reductions,t." ‘e 40% below the minimun Standards for health and decency, Speaking of child ’ welfare needs, the report said:"There is an excessive and increasing rate of referral of children to the Juvenile Courts, both for dependency and delinquency. There is an excessive and increasing trend for children to be removed from their natural families and cared for elsewhere," WHAT ABOUT RATABLE REDUCTIONS? The 1965 Legislature removed the ratable reductions. The 1967 Legislature ordered the Dept. of Public Assistance to bring itts pricing standard's up to 1967 levels. New standards were put into effect July first. Increased allowances for rent vary from county to county. Other allowances were increased an average of 10-3/4%-In King County the total increase was 16%, Thus, King County grants have been increased by 28% since 1964, put the cost of living has increased by at least 5%. Grants are sti 17% less than acceptable levels. The maximum grant for a Seattle family consisting of two adults, a boy 13, and a girl 8, is $285.80 a month--$3,429 a year, But recent changes in the Federal Social Security Law cast a shadow on even this figure. The local welfare officials will not offer any guess as to what miy happen next. NEW RATABLE REDUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY, There is much talk of getting people off welfare by putting them to work. Yet who will take care of the children? Child care costs from $60 to $80 per child per month in Seattle. j Some examples of women's wages: Nurses Aid = $1.40 per hour =- $2912.00 “per year House Cleaners =< $1.65 per Hr Dept.

Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP, an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but did not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she could help. On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963. KEN ROSE, a member of the Club, reported the most influential peace organization in Seattle was SWAP. On July 31, 1964, a meeting of the North Central cP Section Committee was held at Seattle. WILL PARRY, Section Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign into the election campaign. At another Section meeting, February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue, A third source advised on February 24, 1966, a Northwest District CP Committee meeting was held at Seattle February 12, 1966, After lunch, the entire group participated in passing out leaflets pertaining to racial matters and the Vietnam war which carried the name of SWAP, 5411 Ravenna Avenue Northeast, Seattle, Washington 98105, which address has been used consistently by SWAP and is that of ANCI KOPPEL, also known as Mrs. CHARLES KOPPEL, KOPPEL has been and continues to be the coordinator and apparent prime motivating force of SWAP as of May, 1967.

He urged support of the WCC. ‘ - A second source in February and March, 1960, .advised’ a committee of CP members during those months commenced organi- zation of the WCC with authorized capital of $2,000 which was- to sell shares and make other plans for operation of a bookstore selling "progressive" literature at Seattle. In May and June, 1960, this source reported BURT NELSON, on May 18, 1960, stated the CP District Literature Commission would concern itself with the bookstore and other types of literature to be sold. On May 31, 1960, BURT NELSON suggested October 1, 1960, as the tentative opening date of the bookstore. A second source advised on November 2, 1960, the “principal aim of the WCC is to establish a bookstore in the Seattle area inasmuch as this need has long been recognized -by the Washington State CP due to difficulties encountered in main- taining a Party literature apparatus, and it is desired to have available public facilities to attract supporters and sympathizers. This source stated the WCC has obtained a location for its bookstore at 710 &téenart Street, Seattic, and operations commenced at that location on November 5, 1960. A third source advised on May 1, 1967, that the wcc held its annual meeting of shareholders at the Roosevelt Hotel, Seattle, on April 30, 1967.

On March 24, 1971, a source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, advised that on March 22, 1971, a "Committee for April 10" held a meeting at the Law Commune Office, 640 Broadway, New York City (NYC), which was attended by 30 to 40 females. It was learned that a woman from the New York (NY) group was already in Washington, D.C, working with others there to arrange permits, speakers, et cetera, for the womenS march on the Pentagon on April 10, 1971. It was stated that it was easier to obtain a permit for a march from the Justice Department to the Pentagon, than from the Pentagon to the Justice Department, but that no permit had been obtained as yet. It was pointed out that a march from the Pentagon to the Justice Department was preferred as there would be less chance of losing marchers en route to the Justice Department than from marching from the Justice Department to the Pentagon. It was stated that no buses had been chartered at NY, but is was hoped that 15 buses would be needed, COTE EB ENE ELE GROUP I Excluded from automatic downgrading and declassification This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

It is rather a law firm comprised of a group of lawyers interested and sympathetic to the New Left and Black Power organizations, and who counsel and defend individuals in these groups as the occasion arises. They likewise permit their premises to be used on occasion as a meeting ‘place for these organizations and distribute some of their literature. On March 25, 1971, the second advised that as of now there is much confusion over the mechanical aspects of the Women's National March on April 10, 1971, and that the people in Washington, D.C. will make the ultimate decision regarding the route of the march, The source stated that in NY, information concerning buses for Washington, D.C. will be available at the Upper West Side Women's Center, 627 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, telephone number 874-6696. On March 24, 1971, the second source made available a piece of literature sent out by the "April 10 Women's Committee" concerning the national women's march on the Pentagon on April 10. This literature contained in part as follows: "We are going to the Pentagon on April 10 to serve notice on our enemies that women are moving against them. Our urgency and our fury at the expansion of the Indochinese war and our rage at the repression of our black and brown sisters and brothers needs expression right now. We are joining with other women to struggle for the everyday things we need and against whatever and whoever prevents us from getting them, , "we need and want our sisters around the country to build for this action in their own ways, and to communicate with: other sisters their ideas, suggestions and criticisms.

This letter is get forth as follows: "March 25, 1971 "Dear Mme. Binh, "On April 10, many of us American women will be marching on the Pentagon. You know already of the other actions being planned here against the war. As women, we are coming out from separate cities and roles, trying to create reality out of what we once held looked up in ow imaginations. In marching on the Pentagon, we are joining with all people inside and outside of Amerika, who fight against Amerika's attempt to control us. "We've been conditioned so long to accept Amerika's definition of us as weak, passive, and powerless, and to deny all our feelings of love and strength, that it has been a struggle for us to turn towards each other and fight for our freedom. "Your own long struggle in Indochina, and the struggle of Third World people here at home, awakened us to the destruction that Amerikan power represents all over the world. Your many victories against that power have been an inspiration to us.

The enormous anger and energy of sisters together is a force that confuses and terrifies the rulers of Amerika.

we * Ce nationg@fM@arch on 7 N gentagon, Api 10, 1971 , 4 APPENDIX STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY Students for a Democratic Society, commonly known as SDS, came into existence at a founding convention held during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an initial posture of "participatory democracy," Marxist- -Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant NW 55087 during 1968-1969 with debate centering on how best to create a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from involvement in the civil rights struggle to an anti-Vietnam war position to advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist line linking up the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America with the black liberation movement in the United States. All major factions within SDS embrace Marxism-Lenism and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North Vietnam as countries leading the worldwide struggles against the United States. However, the Soviet Union was regarded as imperialist end with the Communist Party, United States of America, "r:visionist" in nature. SDS operated under a national constitution which called for an annual Nationa. Convention (NC) and quarterly National Council meetings wherein programs were initiated and debated. Three national officers were elected annually with a National Interim Committee to run the organization. Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to the national meetings but each functioned independently on local matters. Its official publicition "Fire" (formerly "New Left Notes") last appeared in december, 1969. Internal factionalism of serious proportions developed during 1968 ~ 1969 and t}e following three factions evolved as a result of a split at «the June, 1969, NC: Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance (WSA), and Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM). The effect of the split on SDS chapters throughout the country was divisive. Some aligned with one or the other of the three major factions. Others, unable to identify with any faction, disassociated with SDS completely and changed names. The SDS national office in recent years was located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. it was closed in February, 1970.

55087 or women! S National March on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971 ~ °° APPENDIX WEATHERMAN Initially called the “Action Faction," Weatherman came into being immediately before the June, 1969, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) National Convention (HNC). At this NC Weatherman won all three national officer positions and a majority of the National Interim Committee as well. Subsequently, they took over the SDS National Office (NO) in Chicago, and controlled its funds, paper and national records. Although internal struggle existed until late 1969, Weatherman for all major purposes controlled SDS nationally from June, 1969, until its i110 closed in February, 1970. At this time it no longer considered itself part of SDS. The term Weatherman emergad from an ideological paper prepared by its leaders entitled "You Don't Weed a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind lows" (“New Left Notes” June 18, 1969). This statement outlined the basic stance of Weatherman: Marxist-Leninist in content but with strong advocacy that action not theory would bring about revolution in the United States. This posture was complemented with an international identification to the Cuban revolution and CASTRO's statement that the duty of a revolutionary is to make revolution. During October, 1969, Weatherman riots in Chicago resulted in more than 260 arrests for mob action and related charges. A program of armed struggle was finalized during a December, 1969, “War Council" wherein terrorist tactics and political assassination were contemplated. The basic strength of Weatherman was then revealed to be some 300 - 350 nationally and geographically apportioned to the Midwest, New York, and some Northwest. As its rhetoric of violence escalated, Weatherman leaders increasingly discussed the necessity of an underground operation wherein more than 90 percent of the organization would be submerged; "affinity groups" of three -—- five members would function independently. In February, 1970, Weatherman leaders announced a program of "strategic sabotage" with police and military installations as primary targets. In February, 1970, Weatheruan abandoned the SDS NO, 1608 West Madison Street, Chicato, Tliirois, and throughout the country ertered an un ercround status.

The PLP faztion drew the largest support among those in attendanve at the NC. Source further advisei that during late Summer, 1969, the PLP faction of SDS established its National Headquarters (NH) on the second floor of a loft-type building at 173A Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. The campaign on which the PLP faction centered was to build a worker student alliance or a sampus worker student alliance. Thus, they adopted the names of Worker Student Alliance (WSA) or Campus Worker Student Alliance. Source stated that the "New Left Notes," printed in New York City, is the official publication of the WSA faction. A second source advis2d during January, 19706, that within the SDS, the WSA is a caucus of which the PLP constitutes the leadership. A third source advisei during July, 1970, that during demonstrations staged ir the Boston area during the Spring and Summer of 1970 by th2 NH, the main theme of previous demonstrations staged oy the NH shifted from protestations of the Vietnam Wer and other United States foreign policy matters to attac<ing domestic issues such as racism and unemployment and iemonstrating support of the "“workers' struggle."

The "Principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy; fights against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression of youth: and support of the right of selif-determination of all "oppressed nations," also support of the right of all “oppressed and exploited" peoples "to armed self-defense." It was agreed that RYM would not be a Marxist-Leninist organization; however, source said this was decided in order to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be acceptable to everyone. A temporary National Steering Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was elected to govern RYM until national officers could be elected during the Spring of 1970. RYM publications have listed the RYM National Office (NO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 Cc, both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta. Second source advised that women dominated the founding conference and have continued to dominate NSC meetings to the point that "women's liberation" has apparently become the RYM's principal issue ~- also that RYM's poor financial condition has resuited in its failure to publish a paper. During early 1970, RYM has decided to cater to the working class rather than youth, since the potential for social revolution lies in workers. A third source has stated that it was decided at the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RYM women had decided the organization will be molded into a "working class, Marxist- Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist, problack nationalist, people's women's liberation organization."

,emen's National March on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971 1. APPENDIX PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY The "New York Times" city edition Tuesday, April 20, 1965, Page 27, reported that a new party of "revolutionary socialism" was formally founded on April 18, 1965, under the name of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement. According to the article, "The Progressive Labor Movement was founded in 1962, by MILTON ROSEN and MORTIMER SCHEER after they were expelled from the Communist Party of the United States for assertedly following the Chinese Communist line.” A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP held its Second National Convention in New York City, May 3l, to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its objective of the establishment of a militant working class movement based on Marxism-Leninism. The source also advised that at the Second National Convention, MILTON ROSEN was unanimously re-elected National Chairman of the PLP and LEVI LAUB, FRED JEROME, JARED ISRAEL, WILLIAM EPTON, JACOB ROSEN, JEFFREY GORDON and WALTER LINDER were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until the next convention. The PLP publishes “Progressive Labor," a bimonthly magazine, and "Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper, Source advised on May 25, 1970, that the PLP utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn, New York, and also utilizes an office in Room 617, 1 Union Square West, New York, New York. - 10* - .
