of working in another socialist country. ROVINSKY told

NEEDLEMAN that

there was a fundamental

The committee finds that the Emergency •

Civil Liberties Committee, established

in 1951, although representing itself

as a non-Communist group, actually

operates as a front for the Communist

Party.

It has repeatedly assisted, by

means of funds and legal aia, Communists

involved in Smith Act violations and

similar legal proceedings.

One of its

chief activities has been and still is

the dissemination of voluminous Communist

propaganda

materiai.'

'FRANK WILKINSON was called as a witness

when he appeared in Atlanta as a represent-.

ative of the Emergency Civil Liberties

Committee to propagandize against the

committee on Un-American Activities anc

co protest its hearings. In 1950 WILKINSON

was identified as a Communist Party member

by a former

IsI undercover agent within the

party.

Summoned at that time to answer

the allegation, his reply to all questions

was,

"I am answering no questions of this

committee."

This also became his stock

reply to questions when he appeared during

the Atlanta hearings. * * * WILKINSON has

since been convicted of contempt of Congress

ánd sentenced to one year in jail.'

This organization was rounded

principally through the efforts of FRANk WILKINSON,

A third sourse furnished on September 14, 1961, a

copy of resolutions of the New York Council to Abolish the

House Un-American Activities Committee (NYCAHUAC) which

were adopted by the NYCAHUAC.

One such resolution affirmed

the intention to continue to work for the abolition of the

House Committee on Un-American Activities (HOUA) and to

continue its efforts to broaden the participation in this

fight.

Another resolution accepted as a modus

suggestion of the Field Representative of the

"National

abolition committees may identify and co-ordinate their

efforts as closely as they desire with NCAHUAC, still

maintaining their autonomy for as flexible and independent

a program as possible.

Various sources have advised during March, 1962,

that Communist Party (CP) members in the New York City are:

TEACHERS UNION OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK

The 1942 report of the New York State Legislative

substance the following regarding the Teachers Union of the

City of New York (TU) :

"The history of the Communist movement in the

New York City school system is primarily the history of the

so-called Teachers Union of the City of New York, formerly

Local 5 of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and of

its subsidiary, the College Teachers Union, formerly Local

537 of the American Federation of Teachers, which was

founded by Local 5 in 1938."

The Communists began infil-

trating Local 5 in the 1920's and by 1935, were in complete

control.

In 1941, AFT revoked the charters of Locals 5 and

537 on the grounds that these locals were under the "control

of the Communist Party and had

consistently engaged in prac-

tices inimical to democracy."

Dr. ABRAHAM LEFKOWITZ of the Teachers Guild, presently

deceased, advised in August, 1955, that after the revocation of

TU's charter, it acted as an independent union until 1943, when

it became affiliated with the State, County, and Municipal

WORKERS WORLD PARTY

On April 17, 1959, a confidential source advised

that on February 12, 1959,

a Socialist Workers Party (SWP)

minority group, under the leadership of National

Committee member, SAM BALLAN, split from the swP.

The source stated that this minority group,

referred to as the Marcyites, after many years of program and

policy differences on varied issues concerning tactics and

interpretation of political events, split from the SWP on

the grounds that the Party was liquidating itseli by

departing from the Marxist precepts of LEON TROTSKY and

recreating from the fignt for the world socialist revolution.

The final issue which ultinately forced the split was the

minority's opposition to the swe regroupment policy which

involved cooperation with the Communist Party (CP)

periphery - individuals characterized by the minority as

petty . bourgeois.

the minority program, according to the source,

advocates unconditional defense of the soviet Union and

has as its goal the building of a revolutionary party

with a complete proletarian orientation for the purpose

of overthrowing capitalism in the United States and

throughout the world.

On May 12, 1960, the source advised that this

minority group had chosen

the name Workers World Party.

in May 6, 1963, a second confidential source

stated that the headquarters of the Workers World Party

were located at 46 west 21st Street, New York, New York.

The SWP and the CP have been designated

pursuant to Executive Order 10450.
