Negroes Give Cold
Shoulder To Red"
Propuqundu Here

Washington -- CAMP ~-- The
House on un-American Activities
last week praised the loyalty and
integrity OF the $4,000, 900 Negro
citizens in the United States,
The comment was made in "A
special report released by the COM
mittee Wednesday, and was based
upon the failure OF communists TO
attract a large number Of Negroes
TO their party.
The report stated that the Reds
had infiltrated this minority group
with the ultimate aim OF control
ling IL, but had had little success"
in its high priority goal of sub
verting the Negroes to its own
ends,
In pointing out that communists
have been the greatest deter
rent" TO the cause OF the colored
people. the committee reported
that
The communists have been a
droit at exploiting social prob
lens to confuse rather than cor
rect inequities and injustices, In
no instance il this fact more clear
~ exemplified than in the Com
munists efforts TO exploit racial
problems in the United States
The report went on to state that
according To testimony and re-
cords, the Communist party has
been the greatest deterrent TO
the recognition and resolution OF
the legitimate aspirations OF the
American Negro"
Therefore the party has done
much to negate the efforts Of sin
Ccre students and workers who
have tried genuinely 10 cope with
social and economic problems in
this field.
The report outlined the efforts
which the communists had made
to promote an independent Negro
nation in the Black belt OF 100
counties in the Southern States.
II further reported that the
communist party sought to dis
suade Negroes from answering
draft calls during the time Of the
Hitler Stain Pact.
II charged the party with dis
suading the Negroes To give blood
to the Red Cross because the blood
was being segregated
II recalled that in August, 1914
when Negro Army workers were
facing court martial for refusing
Ia load ammunition ships after a
big explosion nj Port Chicago,
California. Negro communist
asked his party TO give some help
TO these men Too this request a
communist official was quoted ns

What is more important,
