Dear.

As always,

it was good to hear from you with your incisive observa-

I'm loaded with news and hope I can rerember all. I want to

As to the Fishing and Marketing Coops, Round One is ours; but the

fight has only begun.

Big plans are under way, what between chartered

vessels und locally made fishing vessels, private supplies of fish, etc.

But so far, the Cold Stores are still closed and for fish, you must go

to the local market, where the supply is plentiful, even it double in

price to what ive were selling it for. However, if they carry out the plans

again that "these people" will

The Secretary is talking of my going with him to Nigeria to take part in

SUGAR obtained this transcript

on 4 June from the editor of the West Indian Gazette, (fnu) Manchanda.

SUGAR believes that Manchanda got the photostat from the Ghana High

Commission office in London.

He further believes that the Afro-

American unity group in Paris (among whom there is only one member

with U. S.

John Taylor)

probably supplied the transcript to the Ghana Officials as a means of

building their credentials as a bona fide revolutionary organization,

WHERE SHOWM OTHERWISE.

BACKGROUND:

y* Subject, a United States citizen, is included in the

Security Index based on past pro-Castro-Cuban sympathies

activities and his participation in Communist China propaganda

publications.

He was one of the founders of Fair Play for Cuba

Committee, was President of the New York Chapter and became

Acting National Executive Secretary in 1961.

In 1960 he was

forced to resign as Columbia Broadcasting System newsman for

publicly expressing himself as sympathetic to the Castro regime.

In 1961 he was accredited to the United Nations-äs correspondent

for a Cuban publication, "Revolucion."

• In September, 1962, he

went to Algeria where he remained until April, 1963.

He then went

-to Switzerland and Paris representing "Africa, Latin-America;

Asia Revolution," a publication reportedly financed by Communist

China and he remained with that organization until 1964 when he

became suspect as a Central Intelligence Agent by others affiliated

with that publication.

* He is now in London and is having financial

difficulties.

At his request, Gibson was interviewed by Bureau Agents

on August 16, 1962, during which he indicated he would assist the

Bureau or Central Intelligence Agency in return for money but not

because of allegiance to the United States

He stated he did not

particularly 'like the Bureaugrand interviewing Agents described him

issued to Gibson on January 25, 1961, and stated that

"from the article it appears that this individual is now

using this passport to enable him to carry activities

against the United States through a Chinese Communist

network which reaches to various parts of the World.

would appreciate your comments as to whether such activities

contribute to United States foreign policy objectives and,

if not, what can be done to prevent such action by United

States citizens."

By undated letter, Mr. Dutton wrote Senator Keating

and stated, in part,

that "The present activities of Mr.

Gibson to which you

refer in your letter will be carefully

examined to determine if they are prejudicial to the

orderly conduct of United States relations within the meaning

of Section 51, 136 (b) of the Department's Passport

Regulations.

In order to take any passport action

regulations,

the activities must be of such a nature as to seri-

ously interferewith relations between the United States and

foreign governments and, under existing regulations,

fact must be established by evidence or witnesses at a

hearing in the Passport Office."

By letter of April 28, 1964, Mr. Dutton advised

Senator Keating that "The Department's passport regulations

provide,

in 22 C.F.R. 51. 136, for refusal of passport

facilities,

except for direct

United States,

to a-person whose activities would be

prejudicial to the orderly conduct of foreign relations

or otherwise prejudicial to the interests of the United

States.

If the newspaper clipping which you enclosed with

your letter accurately describes Mr. Gibson's present

activities in Paris,

those activities obviously are not

helpful to United States foreign policy objectives.

another question, however, whether they are so prejudicial

to the orderly conduct of

or the interests of the United States to justify the limitation

of passport facilities under Section 51. 136 of

Department's regulations.

On the basis of available

information, the Department has concluded they are not.

However, we are asking our Embassy at Paris for information

regarding Mr. Gibson's activities.

we receive will,

of course, be carefully considered in the

light of the existing passport laws and regulations."

Robert E.

Lee, Acting Assistant Secretary For

Congressional Relations, sent a letter

to Senator Keating on

September 30,

1964, which stated, in part,

that "the

Supreme Court in the Flynn and Aptheker decisions rendered

moot the question of withdrawing Mr. Gibson's passport

because of alleged Communist activities.

the Flynn

and Aptheker cases concerned Section 6 of the

the Internal

Security Act of 1950 which (1) made it unlawful for any

member of a Communist organization to apply for a passport

or to use a passport, and (2) made it unlawful for any

officer or employee of the United States to issue a passport

to or to renew the passport of any individual

having reason to believe that such

individual is a member

of such organization.

The Supreme Court held that Section 6

was unconstitutional because it swept too widely and too

indiscriminately

across

the freedom to travel guaranteed

in the Fifth Amendment."

FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE

The April 6, 1960, edition of "The New York Times"

newspaper contained a fullopage advertisement captioned

"What Is Really Happening In Cuba," placed by the Fair Play

for Cuba Committee (FPCC. This advertisement announced

the formation of the FPCC in New York City

and declared the

FPCC intended to promulgate

"the truth about revolutionary

Cuba"' to neutralize the distorted American press. y

"The New York Times" edition of January 11,

reported that at a hearing conducted helore the united states

Senate Internal security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,

DI: Charles A. Santos Buch identified himsell and Robert

Taber as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and

Taber obtained funds from the Cuban Governent which were

applied toward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.

EASTE

between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)

elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby.

This source added that during the

past year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership

of these and other organizations in

the

FPCC so that their influence as of May, 1963, was negligible.

The SWP has been designated pursuant to Executive

Order 10450.

On May 20,

1963,

a second source advised that

Vincent

"fed" Lee,

FPCC National Office Director,

was then

formulating FPCC policy and had indicated that he

had no

intention of permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any

other organization.

This source

stated that lee believed

that the FPCC should advocate resumption of diplomatic

relations between Cuba and the United States and should

support the right of Cubans to manage their revolution

without interference from other nations. Lee did

not

advocate supporting the Cuban revolution per se.

APPENDIX

FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE

The November 23, 1963,

edition of "The New York

Times" reported that Senator Thomas J, Dodd of Connecticut

had called FPCC "the chief public relations instrument of

the Castro network in the United States."

It is to be noted

thatSenator Dodd was a member of the senate Internal

Security Subcommittee which twice conducted hearings on

the FPCC.

The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York

World Telegram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro

FPCC was seeking to go out of business and that its prime

activity during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro

Castro street rallies and mass picket lines, and the

direction of an active propaganda mill highlighting illegal

travel-to Cuba campaigns. Its comparatively brief span of

life was attributed to mounting anti Castro American public

opinion, the 1962 Congressional hearings which disclosed

FPCC financing by Castro's United Nations Delegation, and

ultimately, the bad publicity which the FPCC received from

disclosure of activities on its behalf by suspected

presidential assassin Lee H. Oswald.

On February 6, 1964, the previously mentioned

second source advised that V. T, lee had recently remarked that t

the FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to organize

another similar organization.

On April 13: 1964

a third

source advised that

there had not been any FPCC activity in many months and

that the FPCC had been dissolved.

married to an Englishwoman, was working in the Columbia Broadeast-

Yoder, he established the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in the early

1960's. GIBSON was in Cuba several times in 1961 and had met Fidel

then edited by Jacques Verges.

When

the Algerians removed Verges, GIBSON stated that he followed

Verges to Paris where the latter set up Revolution. According to

GIBSON, he served as editor of its English-language version first

in Paris and then in Lausanne, Switzerland, until a few months ago,

when he split with Verges, who still owes him money and whom he is

suing. Verges himself loved French high society, good food and lux-

urious living and spent most of his time in political agitation. The

magazine was in fact largely edited by a Vietnamese on its staff who

often wrote under other pseudonyms. The sale of the magazine was

actually quite small.

The Chinese bought about 3,000 copies of each

Issue but recently as many as 15,000 copies of each issue were piling

up unsold in a garret in Paris. Andersen in Lausanne

Révolution because of his interests in African and Asian independence

Revolution, according to GIBSON, had many personal contacts with Irot-

skyites and their was certainly considerable Trotskyite influence in it.
