Randolph strongly raped the
Communist Party as "carpet-baR-
gers who come to minorities, espe-
cially the Negro, and labor with
fantastic promises Of liberation"
He claimed the Communists' chief
interest is in consolidating and
strengthening sentiment for the
Russian foreign policy in America.
Herron's letter, too lengthy to
reproduce in full in this paper,
called Randolph's attack "hysteri-
cal and against the party that
has consistently and continuously
fought discrimination with the re-
sources and the courage, and the
lives of its members" Randolph's
attack, Heron said, was "a crime,
not only against democracy, but
also a crime against the Negro
people"
Heron continued, Mr.. Randolph
not only helps the fascists by his
denunciation Of a sincere tireless
movement, he resorts to statements
that resemble the large lie sPe-
cialty and chief stock in trade Of
the late and unlamented Adolph
Hitler"
Randolph's statement: During
the war. as evidence Of the callous
indifference 10 the interests ~ the
Negro. Communists not only re-
fused TO support the fight for a
fair employment practice policy in
war industry for Negroes, but
counselled against it, was roundly
denounced by Heron who said, Il,
Bill Heron, Negro and Com
munist. believe that the author Of
that statement knows from actual
experience the direct opposite"
Heron said Randolph's statement
was "a plain untruth."
Heron continued: 1T should
be apparent TO all sections Of the
Negro people that its ends are
not served BY an attack against
the Communists. Does attacking
the Communists help secure
