England as a European pro-Chinese Communist.

Last summer he

established contact with the Ad Hoc Committee and asked to be

He was removed from the maling list

in November because Italian Marxist-leninists suspected he was a

As Gibson is furnishing valuable intelligence informatio

Afro-American Leader In Drilo Leaves Ouba for China

W1lllams, Chairman-in-Exile of the militant all-black.

Revolutionary

Castro's Ouba for what he calls a "second exile" in China.

Former President of the Union County, North Carolina Branch of

Sche National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)

Williams,

who is now 41 years old, fled to Cuba in 1961 when local

police and the Federal Bureau of

Investigation sought to arrest him

on charges of kidnapping a white couple during a racial clash in

williams

hometown of Monroe, N. Co

In those days, one of the proudest boasts of Ouba's revolution

ary leaders was that they had wiped out racial discrimination on

1slard, and 1t certainly seemed to be true.

Although few black

Abads

were among the leaders of the revolution, the revolution

quickly gained support from

the country's large black population,

Und in the United States, It was no accident that Fidel Castro re-

ceived an enthusiastic welcome from the blacks of Harlem in 1960,

while anti-communist whites picketed evarywhere else he went in New

York City. It was no accident that Robert F. Williams should flee

to cuba to continue his struggle.

He had been one of the founders

of the nor defunct Fair Play for Cuba Committee In the United

States: eight of whose original 30 founding members were Negroes,

including such well-known writers as James Baldwin, Julian Mayfield

and John Killens.

such Negro participation in a movement not directly

related to the civil rights struggle was virtually unprecedented.

Williams remärked bittered at a rally in

To our consternation, we have

discovered

the bourgeois-oriented power structure of some

socialist states, even one with a black and white population, would

prefer

to preserve

the white reactionary anti-communist power

structure in racist America, their natural national enemy, than

see a just, democratic, fraternal Socialist State brought

best interests of all people of all races:

their racism, they are noving might and main to frustrate and defeat

Williams added that More had

got too much

in with his exaggerations for comfort.

W1lllams added: "1 lot of things I have tried to conceal, but the

case looks hopeless.

It seems that:a certain group here is trying

to compete with Mississippi."

Williams visited

China twice before deciding to move there.

His sons were sent to a Chinese sohool before then,

Cuba: he was prevented from doing so for

many months.

And his

Cuban hosts suggested that he ought to return

Reaching China at last, Willlams set down some of his reasons

for leaving

Juba in an anguished 16-page, 8,550-word letter to 11de-

Castro on August 28, 1966.

But the Cuban Embassy in Peking refused

to accept the letter for transmission to Havana and it was sent by

ordinary airmail. ' In October,

In the Cuban Post Office and even from the pouches of the Cuban

Unlike other Americans living in Cuba, Mrs. Willlams was never

authorized

to visit Canada on business for her husband. Williams

remarks:

"I laïer discovered that this was just a plot to try to

wreck our struggle and to crush our organization,

and was done in con

Moreover, mail was heid up or even returned to senders. Long

The only Cuban official who "showed any genuine interest in our

Willlams writes.

He recalls how Guevara had told him that

he would be returning to Havana from a trip to the interior of Cuba

in 30 days and would help Williams then.

Guevara said he was not

For some time the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

SUGAR as a significant figure in the Black Nationalist movement.

the CIA people felt that SUGAR,

possibly, could be used to create a split in the Revolutionary

Action Movement (RAM) and that he might even utilize Robert

Williams in bringing about such a development. Tenney stated

that some of the questions raised were:

Does the FBI believe

that a split, such as visualized, would be a desirable develop

ment? What is the Bureau's estimate of the feasibility of

attempting to accomplish such a split? Would the

Bureau

desire that CIA direct sUGAr as suggested above?

Pursuant to a discussion with the Internal

Security

Section, the Liaison Agent informed Tenney on 11/9/66 that

CIA appears to have an erroneous conception of the true status

of the Black Nationalist movement in the U. S.

It was pointed

out that this movement has no base of substantial strength, it

is very much fragmented, and any objective to promote a split

would result in something of little or no value.

The Liaison

Agent further stated that as far as we are concerned, Robert

Williams does not have any particular stature of significance

in the Black Nationalist movement in this country.

S

The Agent then emphasized that the Bureau

very

definitely

does not share CIA's confidence in SUGAR.

He further stated

that the Bureau very definitely would not join or support CIA

in any plan as described

above.

The Agent elaborated by stating

that under no circumstances should CIA assume that we are

directly

or indirectly furnishing

any approval to any such scheme

A communique of the Executive Committee of the clandestine Comnun

LauLino carca Moya, a veteran of

the spanish Civil War, and hix other

spending-three years in a fascist prison at the end of the war, was

also accused of returning clandestinely to Spain.

The public prosecu

eighe years and five years for his companions,

The arrests and the forthcoming trial have attracted great

attention in Spain and elsewhere in Europe.

This trial was to have

taken place on 4 October, but the sudden withdrawal of the group of

Christian Democratic lawyers who were to have acfended the imprison.

The lawvers attempted

to justify their withdrawal by stating their disaprroval of the revo

the communist Party of spain (Marxist-leninist).

Garcia Moya had returned to Spain from Colombia following the betrayal

of Marxism-Leninism by the Carillo clique.

He devoted himself entire

advised him that he suspected RICHARD GIBSON of being an

agent with CIA because GISSON in his recent stop-over in

Kilan

had with him a young American girl by the name of DAVIDA

'ENEMAN who ostensibly was acting as a translator for GIBSON.

PERICO also questioned the statement of GIBSON to the effect

that he had married

a rich English woman and that her father

was building them a home in England, hence he was in a posi

tion to entertain the Italian comrades should they travel

to London.

PERICO requested the informant to transmit this

suspicion to the comrades in Belgium for their action

since GIBSON is a contact of the Belgium Communist Pasty (CP

The informant, when he contacted RENE RAINDORE,

number two man in the Grippa Pro-Chinese Belgium Party, a

few days later, informed RAINDORE Of the suspicions of GIBSON

but told him that this was not his conclusion, but rather

nas acting in checapacity of

a nessenger boy for the italian

Herzist-Leninists.

RAINDORE said that he would look into

the matter and acted surprised at this charge against GIBSCN.

nue informant has no other knowleage of

these charges or what

ection may have been taken by RAiNDORE.

The informant was shown the letter set forth

above from GIBSON and he stated that in his opinion that

It would be a breach of security and certainly would not be

acting as a Marxist-Leninist ii the AHC were to continue to

mccrespond with GISSON.

He did not feel, however, that

VAN ZWOl was connected directly with GIBSON and did not feel

that the questions as set forth in VAN ZWOL's letter were

provocative.

He stated that when he talked to NICO SCHREVEL

the leader of the pro-Chinese Party in Holland that SCHREVEL

spoke highly of VAN ZWOL and there was not the slightest

intimation to any of the comrades he spoke to in Western

Durope that would reflect that VAN ZWOl, was working for the

onceras a detailed

During the period from 8/27/66

in ormant was in Bussels awaiting the reture of JACQUES

GRIPPA and had during this period many contacts with members

of the Central Committee a GRIPPA'S Party. On one occasion

when he was speaking with RENE RAINDORD at Party headquarters,

RAINDORE, received a call and told the informant that it was

from RICHARD GIBSON and that he was going to the airport to

see GIBSON.

As GIBSON is an American,

he inquired it the

informant would want to go along with him and also asked

what the informant knew about him.

Informant told RA INDORF

that he was not personally acquainted with GIBSON, but did

know of him as the head of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee

and also understood that CIESON was a Trotskyite..

Because

of this the informant declined to go with RAINDORE and asked

RAINDORF not

disclose the informant's presence in Europe

CO GIBSON

On

9/13 and 14/66 the informant spent two days with

RINO PERICO, a member of the Central Committee of the Italian

Marxist-Leninist group, at his home in Bergamo, Italy.

will be recalled that

informant and PERICO became good friends

when

both were in Albania last year.

S

At the time of this meeting PERICO advised the

informant that RICHARD GIBSON had recently stopped in Milan

and had talked with some of their group.

The informant under-

stood that this meeting took place only a few days before

According to PERICO they suspected GIBSON of being

= CIA agent in view of the fact that when in Milan & young

American girl accompanied CIBSON ostensibly as a translator.

The Italians did not believe this relationship.

Further,

GISSON told them that if they were to come to London that

he

has room in his new home to entertain them since he was marcise

to a rich English woman and that her father was building him

this new home.

PERICO questioned the way GIBSON was traveling

from point to point and the fact that he found it necessary

w. expisin the circumstarces of his residence in England.

Ho also noted that GIBSON bad no apparent political base.

PERICO asked the informant to advise the Belgium

Party of this suspicion. s

DERICO also furnished the iniormant the name ot the

young woman who accompanied GIBSON aS DAVIDA FINEMAN, 8

Rue Maitre Albert, Paris, France.

She advised PERICO that

siter August she could be located

gare of Pierce 370 Beechmont

Drive, New Rochelle, New York.

The identity of this Individual has not been set

forth in the LiM since to do so would pinpoint the identity

0f CG 5903-S.

On his

return to Brussels informant was in contact

with RAINDORE on September 18th and felt obligated, in a

lazzist-Leninist sense, to advise RAINDORF Of PERICO'S

auspicions.

He stated

that RAINDORF appeared surprised

stated

that he would check into this charge.

The infor-

mant told RAINDORF that he must understand that

this was

not his allegation; that as far as he knew GIBSON was 2

Trodyskite and that RAINDORF could consider

the informant

osty in the capacity of a messenger boy

Informant advised that since

he had no way of

knowing whether the allegation against GIBSON was true that

as a representative of the AHC he had to carry through and

report this to RAINDORF.

By separate communication Chicago is submitting

With

respect to this entire matter, Chicago

desires to point out that the name of CG 5908- is known

to the leading pro-Chinese comrades in Western Europe,

including GRIPPA, RAINDORF, NICO SCHREVEL, Secretary of

the Holland Pro-Chinese Party, and LEO VAN ZWOL, the

editor of the Holland pro-Chinese paper. Because of the

fact that it is known that GIBSON is in direct communication

with RAINDORE and VAN ZWOL and In all probability GRIPPA

land SCHREVEL, it would appear most probable that the CIA,

Shrough GIBSON, knows the name of CG 5908-S as an ARC

Curctionary who was traveling this summer in Westers

europe. With the contemplated dissemination of material

derived fron the informant's trip in lill forn, it wouldS

It will be recalled

that

last year when the infor

that CIA furnished to us infor-

there were osher individuals from the U.S. who travelled into

Albania it would seen reasonable that CIA could correlate

Gush information and conclude that the Bureau source was one

these people.

Coupled then with the current information

of the informant's Western European trip and the fact that

his identity is known to the Western European comrades, 1t

would indicate that CIA could conclude that he is a source

of the Bureau.S

Chicag

does not suggest at all that the status of

the Ad Hos operation would become known to CIA, but only that

CIA could reasonably conclude that CG 5908-e wis a source of

the Bureau S

the

structure of the ARC is such that corres-

pondence will be either initiated or continued with GRIPPA,

I INDORE, SCHREVEL and VAN ZWOL and other pro-Chinese

contacts with these prominent pro-Chinese leaders, Chicago

(S)

GIBSON

stated that England is his home base and

that at the behest of Marxist-Leninists of the European

countries he had come to the U.S. to make contacts to

establish a literature outlet for North Vietnamese material

such as

'Viet Nam Courier" and to arrange for a Negro comrade

to travel to Viet Nam.

As to the establishment of a litercture outlet,

CG 6547-S advised that the AHC has no outlet and that

because of its

status

within the CPUSA had to be very careful

in this regarc

He staied that the AHC is presently getting

copies of "Viet Nam Courier" from "VAN ZWOL" in the Netherlands.

GIBSON stated that he would see

"LEO" when he got back to

Europe as he knows him very well.

CG 6547-S stated that the

AHC understood that since it is

not possible to send mail

from the U. S. to Hanoi,

that it would be very difficult to

arrange for mail from Viet Nan unless an intermediary was

utilized. As GIBSON questioned regarding possible outlets

in Chicago,

CG 6547-S gave him the address of the post Office

News, a legitimate literature outlet in the loop and the CP

book

store on the north side. GIBSON requested that the ARC

keep its eyes open to see how the distribution is going

(presuming that he makes

arrangenents

with the above outlets)

and to write him on this

matter

In the matter of arranging

for a Negro comrade to

travel to Viet Nam, GIBSON explained that as 40% of the American

troops in Viet Nam

are Negro and since this was a method of the

ruling class to take care of the war on poverty, it would be .

advantageous for a Negro comrade to have talks in Viet Nam.

He stressed that this comrade should be a person who has ties

what the AHC thought of him. CG 6547-S advised GIBSON that

LASKI was considered by the

AHC to be an adventurist with only

a small base in Los Angeles; that he engaged in extended and

fratracidal polemics with other Marxist-leninists in the U.S.;

that LASKI's call to organize a Marxist-leninist Party now did

not take into account the realities existing in this country;

that the position of the AHC was that a true

Party would be born in struggle not as a result of a premature

calling for a national meeting. GISSON stated that since this

was the case he would

Regarding PLP, GIBSON stated that he had contacted

them in New York City and was confused about this organization.

He stated that they did not appear

to be doing anything.

He related that SUE FRANK who used the name LISA ARMAND had

contacted the Belgium Party and had demanded to see JACQUES

GRIPPA, She would not reveal any information about PLP,

but requested that the Belgium Party publicize the WILLIAM

EPTON CaSE.

He stated that FRANK was too cozy and the Belgians

with PLP in New York did nothing to erase this impression

we we whered without else to tie cost

He stated that the Belgians were the number one Party

in Europe and that all the European Parties have concluded

that the tactic as

used by the AHC of staying within the

regular Party is a good tactic. With respeot to MIKE LASKI

calling for

the formation of a

Marxist-Leninist Party, GIBSON

stated that

the Austrian group has 6,000 members but

doesn*t

call itself a Party,

hence LASKI is too ambicious and his

exposure of Marxists-Leninists is bad.

(S)

CC 6547-S related that the road of the AHC is

difficult and in this regard mentioned that when major events

are held throughout the world among Marxist-leninists, it is

hard for the AHC to break out of its isolation so as to be

included

in such events.

GIBSON stated that in the future

the AHC will be included; that a conference will soon be held

in Europe against the war in Viet Nam; that the AHC will be

in the ending of the war.

GIBSON inquired

there were not some other means

to get in touch with the AHC rather than the post office box.

CG 6547-S advised that for security reasons he would have to

take this up with the Committee.

He explained that he clears

the box

and has found that even if someone is watching it is

next to impossible to determine which box is being cleared.

CISSON and the informat discussed the LIN PilO

arsicle.

The infornant expiained the ideological stance

of the AHC concerning the nature of the working class in

the U.

S; the Afro-American question; the constant development

of the line presented in the Bulletin. GIBSON requested that

he be seni future copies of the Bulletin and also furnished

the following addresses:

He also noted the home phone of RENE RAINDORE

in Brussels as 743-773 and stated that when in contact with

say you are a friend of "Colonel Thibault" in

RA INDORE

London.

GIBSON and the informant parted in a friendly manner.

GIBSON advised that he would be leaving

Chicago the next morning

but did not indicate his destination.

(S)

As GIBSON is working for CIA his motivation in this

contact with the AHC is obviously not that of a true Marxist

Leninist.

Hence any response on the part of the AHC must

take into account that a close identification with him could

adversely effect the AHC if GIBSON is unmasked.

The premise

of following through with this contact was to authenticate the

AHC as a viable Marxist-Leninist group with the Europeans

via GIBSON.

To anticipate him as a future channel would not

appear vital or necessary since CG 5908-S not only established

secure these contacts for our future use

If an occasion arose

in which

GIBSON were the only

avenue open to achieve a certain objective, it would be sound

then to establish a rappori with him.

in absence of a mandatory

requirement, Chicago would suggest that the relationship with

GIBSON be left as it now stands, e go,

fraternal, but without

obligations.
