MILT ROSEN left the CPUSA before the Sino-Soviet

split was as clearly defined as it is now.

When he was

looking for followers for his new organization, he

may have tried to play down Left wing - Right wing differences,

put he has followed what it is believed the Chinese would

consider a consistent line. CoU

New York is enclosing the following material

for review by the Chicago office.

It is felt that this

material will, in part, substantiate the conclusions

arrived at by

New York.

Xerox copy of New York airtel to Director,

dated 12/22/61, captioned, "Progressive Labor; IS-C"

This

sirtel contains a report CUS HALi sent to Moscow in which

he states that the ROSEN group has been distributing Chinese

naterial for a whole year and has campaigned for the immediate

dissolution of the CP.

(NY file 100-147372-2).

This airtel

reports that PLP was contemplating the publication of

articles written by WILLIAM Z. FOSTER,

which defended the

Chinese position with regard to coexistence and the

inevitability of war. (NY file 100-147372-5).

New York agrees that these reasons can serve as

a reason

to others for not meeting PiP, but they are not

the best reasons we have for ourselves for not meeting PLP.

Et the AHC were a real organization it would be hard to

colieve so many years could pass wichout any contact between

the two organizations.

Even now, we are constrained to

explain to others why

there has been no contact with PLe,

and the question of PLP comes up at every turn.

The best reason for not neeting PLP or for being

carerul about all meetings, is that none of the AHo

infoznants would ring true as

an Anc leadenisto the cr

nembers who know the informant.

one of them were

aublically identified as (an AHC leaderS this could pose

serious problems (do the AHCIS)

Recommendation

For some time, it has been

an accepted AHC

objective

to neet with SUE FRAnK,

who is thought to be the PLe's link

with

the Chinese.

Recently, CHARLES

LOMAN made an

unsolicitated offer to incroduce SUE FRANK tO AHC representatives.

This comes at a time when New York sources have reported SUE

FRANK has had some dispute with MILT ROSEN over an

ideological matter, possibly the PLe position on soviet

aid

The source of this information cannot be

recontacted. Since this dispute, which took place three or

your months ago, there has been no known contact between SUE

FRANK and MILT

ROSEN, whereas previously they were in almost

daily contact.

New York recommends we encourage LOMAN to arrange

she meeting with FRANK.

If he does not succeed we still

Look better than if we

try to avoid the meeting.

Went we mak they an arents her cente

explain they seek no organizational tie with PLP for reasons

already discussed, but would like support and guidance from

¿he Chinese.

This would be the same line they have used

If there was ever any merit to the idea or meeting

SUE FRANK, and this was an And-bjective for a long

period of time,

then we should do it now, because we have

never had a better opportunity, and if SUE FRANK's split

wich Milt hosaN goes very deep

she may be willing to

assist and work with che Ant. s)

It is recognized

there is more risk in meeting

FRAT than there would be in making other contacts, but the risk is

no greater now than it ever was, and if we turn down the

meeting with FRANK because of the risk involved, how can

justily sending an Aft intomant to China, where the risk

apputes not only to the Ang, but to the informant as vell?
