Mr.. Lamar said his conclusion was
based upon information contained in
seized mail matter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from

and outspoken statements contained
in these publications, and the efforts
made therein to inaugurate nation

Mr.. Lamar said it was significant
that this was the first time in the
history of the so-called radical move
ment in the United States that these
radical elements have found com
