Coordinators of the event said they hope for lilin

a turnout of about 20,000 women who would stage the first

national female

march on the Capitol since women won the

right to vote in 1920.

..ti.

"De: Farbara Roberts; national project director

of the coalitions, said the march, scheduled to go past

the White House and down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol,

would attack "abortion laws: which degrade, mutilate and

murder women."

"The coalition, which comprises about 30 vomen's

groups, will also demonstrate against forced sterilization

and restrictive contraception laws and plans to hold

national abortion hearings in Washington before the march."

First source advised on October 15, 1971, that the

November 20, 1971; rally has received mixed support. From

various Washington, D. C., women:'s liberation groups.

Several radical women's groups refused to endorse the November

20, 1971, action because they view it as a Young Socialist

Alliance (YSA) /Socialist Workers Party. (SW) Front which will

use these rallies to further its own recruitment drive.

Furthermore, they considered YSA/SWP to be 'non-feminist".

• Main support for the November 20, 1971, demonstration will come

from the WSA Women's Fraction Group.

• SUBJECT: DEMONSTRATIONS, WASHINGTON, D. C., AND

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 20, 1971,

SPONSORED BY THE WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION

ACTION COALITION

This memorandum advises of demonstrations being scheduled in

Washington, D. C., and San Francisco, California, on 11/20/71 to build

public support for the repeal of antiabortion laws.

The Women's National Abortion Action Coalition was formed at a

conference held at Columbia, University, New York City, in July, 1971, which

was attended by approximately 1, 000 women from 29 states. The conference

voted to make a woman's right to abortion a national and political issue.

Subsequent to its formation, the coalition called for demonstrations in

San Francisco and Washington on 11/20/71 to build public support for the

repeal of all antiabortion laws, to protest forced sterilization, and to call

for an end to restrictive contraceptive laws. A source of the Washington

Field Office has advised that the march in Washington is supported by the

Young Socialist Alliance, the youth group of the Socialist Workers Party

(SWP). Carol/Lipman, who is a member of the SWP, is Project Director

of the Washington march.

Coalition leaders in requesting permit for the demonstration have

lestimated that participation in the Washington march will range between

/10, 000 and 20, 000 persons. The Washington Field Office has developed

information that 46 buses have been chartered to bring participants to the

demonstration. Participants will represent some 80 cities. The Metropolitan

Police Department anticipates participation will be in the vicinity of 5,000 persons

REC-23,

Demonstrators are scheduled to assemble at the Ellipse between

10 2.m. and 12 noon and will march via 17th Street to H Street, đown H Street

to 15th Street, down 15th Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, and then east on

¡ Pennsylvania Avenue to the west steps of the Capitol. A rally will be held

at the latter site between 2 and 6 p.m.

RE: DEMONSTRATIONS, WASHINGTON, D. C., AND

BY THE WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION ACTION COALITION

Speakers will include Billy Jean King, a professional tennis

player, Dr. Barbara, Roberts, a doctor at the National Institute af...

Health and a national director of the Coalition, and Linda Jenness,

We have included all pertinent information concerning this

march in our summary teletype to The White House, the Vice President,

Secret Service, the Attorney General, and military intelligence agencies.

There have been no traffic restrictions placed in effect

by the Metropolitan Police Department to date. However, this would be

a later consideration as the date of the march approaches.

I traffic on Saturday morning.

It appears that the route of march will definitely affect

SPONSORED DEMONSTRATION

Lovenber 20, 1971

Washington, D. C.

The WONAAC is self-described in its literature

as being formed by the national conference of

more than 1,000 women held in New York City,

New York, in July 1971.

At that conference,

women from 29 states and 253 organizations came

together to unite

their errores in

the national

fight for the repeal of all abortion laws

and

for the corollary demands of no forced sterilization

and repeal of contraception laws.

The conferenca

called for a massive show of force for these goals

in a march on Washington, D.C., and San Francisco,

california, November 20, 1971.

WONAAC is based

on a program of legislative, judicial, and

mass demonstration activities

on a local and.

national level. and seeks to unite all women in

the fight for tho righo ci abortion.

The September 22, 1971, issue ce the "Los Angeles Times";

a newspaper of

general circulation published saily in los

Angeles,

California, contains

an article on page o, part Iv, datelined

washingion,

D. C., entitlea

"Abortion larch Mobilizing"

, which

article states in

part as follows:

"Women from 253 organizations across the country

are mobilizing for

mass demonstrations here

(Washington, E. C.) and in San Francisco in

November to support

the complete repeal of all

abortion laws.

FEBRUARY 8, 1972

RE:

WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE OF MARYLAND

INTERNAL SECURITY - COMMUNIST

(TROTSKYIST)

- Aura du a -bride i

On November 13, 1971, a source advised that the

Women's National Abortion Coalition (WONAAC) planned to

hold demonstrations at Washingtön," D. C. and San Francisco,

callIornia on November 20, 19/1.

The purpose of the

demonstrations were to call for the repeal of all abortion,

contraception and forced sterilization laws.'

The "Women's.

Right to Choose of Maryland, the Baltimore, Maryland

affiliate of WONAAC was to organize busing and housing

arrangements for out-of-state women.

On November 22, 1971, a source advised that the

Women's Right to Choose of Maryland, working from 3028

Greenmout Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland, were unsuccessful

in attempts to generate enthusiasm for the WONNAC demonstration

among Baltimore area women.

Therefore, the plan to charter

a bus for the purpose of transporting

demonstrators to the

Washington, D. C. rally was cancelled.

On November 30, 1971, a second source advisea

that the Women's Right to Choose of Maryland had been

formed as an "ad hoc"

group for the specific purpose of

supporting the November 20, 1971 Washington, D. C. demonstra-

tion. The source furiner stated that the Women's

Right

to Choose of larylana ceased to exist, following this

demonstration, and 1s now defunct.

Re: WONAAC

The SIP specifically wished the convention to

adopt a one-issue position, that being the complete

control of the fenale body

by the individual female.

This specific issue,

"women control their bodies" was

adopted by the women's organization and all other propo-

sals were rejected.

Workshops were organized for each of the many

separate racial and ethnis groups represented at the

conference.

Workshops were based on appeal to the speci-

I1c group

SIP.

intended and all were supposedly controlled by

A Black, Raza, Asian-American women's workshop

was held on February 12, 1972, with 35 persons attending.

Among the issues discussed at

the workshop were the

attempts of democratic and republican presidential candi-

dates to capitalize on minority group attitudes in regard

to the abortion movement and the fact that minority groups

all to often find themselves without a voice when real

issues are involved.

of particular importance to the group was the

OParty 11 Texas

equal impor-

tance was the Gay Liberation Movement, which the group

felt expresses the plight of gay females who do not want

children and are forced to live with men because of the

mores of American society.

Attendees agreed that the one issue of abortion

law repeal will serve to unite women under ora banner and

more effectively sere the

Women's novement.

The convention adjourned after an agreement that

an "Abortion Action Week" would be held May 1 - 6, 1972.

This action would serve to keep public attention focused

on the need to legalize abortion and to seek effective

support from

the many thousands of women who want to right

to choose.

2. Second WONAAC Conference was held in Boston,

Massachusetts, February 11-13, 1972.

Approximately 1,300

women attended the conference, which once agair, re-established

and reiterated WONAAC's call for abortion on demand.

conference on

It was

noted during the conference that WONAAC had been unable to

create anything like a national campaign and that local meetings

across the country had been disappointingly small. It was

pointed out that WONAAC had failed to attract the

large numbers

of working women, housewives, and students concerned with the

abortion issue, including the majority of women's liberationists

and abortion reform activists. It was felt that the movement

could not succeed without the support of the working women.

At the close of the conference, WONAAC strongly endorsed

the "Abortion Rights Act of 1972," which is to be introduced in

the U. S. Congress by Congresswonon BELLA

ABZUG from New York.

This bill would override all

laws which impose sanctions upon

those who choose to exercise their individual right to an abortion.

(WF I-1, 2/14/72)

a. Proposed Actions

...

It was moved and adopted during the above conference.

that WONAAC sponsor a week of local abortion activities, May 1-6,

1972, consisting of educational programs, legislative sunport,

judicial action, and culminating in local or regional demonstra-

tions on May 6, 1972, around the demand for redeal of all anti-

abortion laws and restrictive contraception laws and an end to

forced sterilization.

(WF I-1, 2/14/72)

In addition, the following secondary pronosals were

adopted during the conference:

Informants-

For the information of the Bureau and New York,

•advise that there is a

Women's Liberation group at the University of Florida,

Gainesville, Florida, which recently sponsored an

Abortion Action Week

rally, however, none of the

individuals associated with this Women's Lib group are

connected with any subversive organizations such as

Young Socialist Alliance or Socialist Workers Party.

They are merely Women's Liberationists, who support

the repeal of all abortion laws.

In view of the above, no active investigation

is being conducted by the Jacksonville Division of the

Nomen's Liberation group at the University of Florida, as

there is no present indication they are connected and/or

interested in subversive activities.

Re report of ARLAND A. MOSEL dated 3/21/72 at

Washington Field.

?

The State University of New York at Binghamton

is part of the University system of the State of New York, *

and the University at Binghamton has an enrollment of

approximately 7,500 students.

The student newspaper

published at the University twice weekly during the school

year in its issue of 10/15/71 carried a brief ad in the

classified section as follows: .

"Women who have had abortions needed to relate

their experiences to other women, educate all women

about abortion at abortion

speak out October 21. Contact

Linda L., extention 4130."

The 11/12/71, issue of the "Pipedream"

, student

newspaper published at the State University of New York

at Binghamton, carries an announcement that the Binghamton

Womens Abortion Coalition was selling bus tickets for the

Womens March on Washington for repeal of all abortion laws,

repeal of all contraception laws and no force sterilization

for 11/20/71. Women and men were invited to attend and

tickets were on sale at the student center.

Cars and

volunteers were needed and they were to contact LINDA LOEW

at extention 4129.

INFORMANT

who is familiar with New

Left activities on the campus of the State University

New York at Binghamton was

contacted regularly during

of

the

school year of 1971-72 and he stated that he did see

some signs on bulletin boards in the Fall:of 1971 about

abortion organizations, but never knew them to be of much

success on campus.

He stated that he did not see any

activity or signs on any bulletin boards from the period

of approximately January, 1972 until school closed in

May, 1972.

This source was contacted 5/16/72. He stated

also at that time that LINdA LOEW has been a close

associate of BETTY, SACHS who is the leader of the foung

Socialist Alliance Chapter on campus at the University.

Informant stated that there was no organization formed

to

his knowledge of a Womens

Abortion Action Coalition in

the Binghamton area.

Other sources familiar with New Left activities

on the campus of the State University of New York at

Binghamton, were contacted during May, 1972, and two

sources advised that they knew of no organization of

Womens Abortion Action Coalition on the campus or in the

Binghamton vicinity during the past year.

Albany Division has had an investigation pending

on LINDA LOEW and a report is being written with appropriate

recommendation for administrative action on LINDA LOEW.

In view of the lack of activity of an Abortion Coalition

organization in the Binghamton area, no further investigation

is being conducted by Albany•

Choracies INTERNAL SECURITY • COMMUNIST (TROTSKYIST)

Synopsis:

Informants advised the Boston Women's Abortion Action

Coalition (BOWAAC), the local affiliate of the Women's

National Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC), was formed

during the late summer, 1971, out of the local-Female

Liberation (FL) group.

Its headquarters is located at

552 Masa. Avenue, Cambridge. BOWAAC is Fot a formal

membership group

but there are approximately a total

of 20-25 females regularly involved in the group's work.

The Young Socialist Alliance of Boston (ESA-B) and the

Socialist Workers Party (SWP), 'Boston faction within

BOWBAC, which comprises abouc

half of the activists,

were the controlling force. However, recent reports

indicate this faction has apparently alicnated itself

from other activists and door not nor bailova BONAAC

can be built into a successful supporter group for the

YSA and SWP locally.

I. ORGANIZATION

A, Origin and Objectives.

The Boston Women's Abortion Action Coalition

(BOWSAC), the local affiliate of the Women's National

Abortion

Action Coalition (HONAAC), was formed during

late sumner, 1971, out of the local Female Liberation

(EL) group.

BS T-1

November 17, 1971

BOWLAC was originally a subconnittee of FL

in the Greater Boston Area but as of Jenuary, 1972, had

grown into a separate group whose specific interest was

in abortion reform. Individuals active in BOWAAC are

also active in other FL work; however, all individuals

active in Ft work are not active in BOWAAC, with BOWAAC

being the smaller of the two groups.

3S T•1

January 12, 1972

WONSAC has been publicly deccribed

as an organization at groups whose

aim

is to effect the overthrow of existing

abortion laws and to establish free

of tate the

During early March, 1972, TOBA SINGER reported

that at an increasing rate abortion vik was becoming a

more important area of work than Fl and that a

number of SWP and YSA female members were being trans

ferred into the abortion work.

March 26, 1972

The stress of the SHP/YSA femalo members in the

general Boston area who are active in female matters con-

tinues to be away from Fl and into BONAAC with only two

or three remining on the fringes to follow FL activities.

BS I-1

May 10, 1972

Recent reports concerning SWP/YSA faction work

within BOWAAC disclose that, as previously occured with

the Party's work within Fl, those in the Party faction

have apparently alicnated themselves from the other

females active in BOWAAC and for the most part love lost

any support from others not in the Party faction.

Any

suggestions now offered by those of the Party faction in.

.: :

BOWWAG, which comprises approximately half of the activista

in the

group, are no longer accepted, cause considerable

argument and there is evidence of "red baiting"

• As a

result, the Party faction does not now believe that they

can -build. BOWAC into any successful supporter type

organization as had resulted through Party work in the

Student Mobilization Committee (SMC).

The "Boston Globe"

, a daily newspaper published

in Boston, in its February 13, 1972. edition, carried an

article entitled "Abortion Strategy Discussed" which in

part reported that more than 800 women fron across the

country had gathered for a conference at Boston University

the weekend of February 11-13, 1972 to plan a strategy

to win repeal of all laws that prohibit abortion. Accord-.

ing to the article, it was expected thut the conference

would endorse the latest Federal bill to nullify all

state laws restricting abortion • "The Abortion Rights

Act of 1972"

, to be introduced by United States Congresse

woman BELLA ABZUG from New York. The article reported

that discussion at the conference had centered

around

•or to focus on a

single issue - repeal of the abortion laws. It further

reported that & proposal was presented for an Abortion

Action Week, May 1 to 6, 1972, to incluce educational prom

grams: legislative support, judicial action and local or

regional denonstrations centering around the demand for

repeat

ot all anti-abortion and anti-contraception laws

and an end to forced sterilization.

JANE ROIAND, identified in tue article as

coordinator of BORAAC,

ras reported to have stated that

whatever the conference does nationally her organization

would be acting at the local level,

The Febiary 13, 1972, session of the WONAC

Conference at Boston University was in the form of

workchops held in approximately eight classroons with

Re :

National Momen's Political Caucus (NNPC)

Policy Council Meeting

Source, who has furnished reliable information in the

past, provided the following information on July 3, 1972:

A Policy Council Meeting of the National Women's

Political Caucus

(NVPC) was held in Mashinaton, D.C. during

the period June 24, 1972 - June 25, 1972.

The NVPC is a legitimate, loosely-knit, open

organization of politically motivated women

seeking equal recognition

in the American

community.

During the Policy Council Meeting there were no

overt attempts by any organized group to influence the policy

meeting and there were no individuals present who identified

themselves as members of any organization which might be construed

as subversive and/or supporting any cause except legitimate

change.

Of significance, however, was the fact that literature

of the Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) was

present in brochures and pamphlets located throughout the reeting

area.

All of the WONAAC material was geared to the abortion

movement and specifically the MONAAC conference scheduled for

Hunter College, New York, July 15 - 16, 1972..

WONAAC was founded in July, 1971. for the purpose of

forming a national movement of groups scattered

throughout the United States who favor and

now work to legalize abortion.

The Young Socialist

Alliance (YSA) and Socialist Forkers Party (SWP)

are playing a major role in moNANC.

The SWP has been designated pursuant to

Executive Order 10450.

## Page 242

Rẹ: NWPC Policy Council Meeting

As the youth organization of the SWP, the

YSA serves as the main source of recruitment into

that organization.

The YSA is described in the

masthead of its official publication, "The Young

Socialist Organizer,"

"a multinational

revolutionary socialist youth organization."

During the council meeting on June 24, 1972, Mary

Clarke, who is associated with the Southern California PC,

an affiliate of the NWPC, advised a group of policy council

members that WOMAAC had been using the Southern California WPC

name as an endorser of WONAAC. Clarke also stated that MONAAC

had passed out propaganda at a caucus rally in California and

were very effective at taking control of small gatherings:

The Chairwoman from Nassau County in New York, whose

name was not

recalled, defended WONAAC stating that "they were

a good groupl

This

woman's position was not supported and,

in general, WONAAC literature was not accepted bu those persons

present.

Jill Ruckelshaus, a new member of the Policy Council,

is reportedly concerned about the SWP's

attempts

to align

itself with the abortion movement and will be using her newly

gained position to fight SWP attempts at control of local

WPC groups.

The NHPC organizing brochure nuhlished by the NiPC

has been written to assist individual MPC groups in organizing.

The brochure lists political parties and para-political

organizations

to be contacted bv caucus organizers when forming

the nucleus of a WPC. Among those listed was the SWP. After

discussions at the caucus it was determined that the sWP should

be removed from the list. The new edition of the NPC organizina

brochure will not list the SWP; it has been replaced by National

Peace Action Coalition (NPAC) .

The NPAC was

founded in 1970 by members of the SUP.

Its basic objective is to unite masses of people

including labor unions, GIs, and the black

community in the struggle to end United States

intervention in Southeast Asia through orderly and

peaceful tactics.

that about two weeks ago

they intended to utilize the same office space at 1115 Walnut

PH T-1 added that this

change was made inasmuch as the name WUAR was found to be unwieldy

and awkward and that it did not convey the group's affiliation with

WONAAC as well as the new name Philadelphia WONAAC.

An article In "The Sunday Bulletin," Section 2, pages

band T, issue o1 october 31, 1911, listed the various candidates

for political office in the City of Philadelphia in connection with

system had used the dual issues of abortion and women's liberation

to keep women in a position of inferiority, whereas the socialistic

system being promoted by the SWP would be in favor of abortion and

women's liberation, and WONAAC would therefore naturally attract

members of the SWP

to their organization.

the United States. Although a source of your office claimed

he was not aware of any information indicating WONAAC in

Philadelphia is substantially controlled by SWP, four individuals

whose photographs appeared in a Philadelphia paper, were

identified as menbers of the SVP as well as WONAAC. Based on.

this as well as the established fact that WONAAC is, for the

Confidential source number two related that the

evening plenary session of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972,

and it was immediately apparent that the socialist

workers Party - Young Socjalist Alliance (SWP-YSA) group

dominated the meeting. Independent women who wanted to make

statements during this session were voted down by SWP floor

leaders and these

same persons continued to vote as a

• bloc

on all issues.

The group of independent women from various geogra-

phic areas, that is those women who were not associated with the

SWP or YSA, went together after the plenary session was aujourned

and considered the problem of how to handle the SwP leaders.

While these women were not political realists in their goals,

they did believe in working throughout the existing system

rather than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal.

of revolution.

It was decided that the independent feminists would

no longer continue hassling within WONAAC.

to have decisions for them being structured by a male dominates

group.

They also decided that money being collected by WONAAC

in the name of abortion law change was not being used for that

purpose, but rather to sustain members of the SWe-YSA.

The sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was

labeled "Meeting to Discuss

Internal Hassles.

About 35

Independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members

and

sympathizers were present.

Independents there were from New

Haven, Boston,.

Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and

San Francisço.

The independents did not waiver in their firm opposition

WONAAC were independents anddecided to resign publicly at

the afternoon plenary session.

They also decided to combat

Nancyproll, new York; and allen shapiro, New York.

N.y

There were approximately 700-800 women in attendance.

at the afternoon session.

According to one of the SWP

leaders, these women were from 31 states and three countries-

Canada,

Italy and Sweden.

The states that had more representation

than others were Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts.

Most of the problems and differences between the

independents and the SWP centered around approaches to abortion

law reform.

The SwP was charged with always having demonstra-

tions and callies and never doing any work through the legis

Lative process.

The independents stated that they were tired of this

hassle and that they believed there were more effective ways

to change abortion laws

than carrying placards in the streets.

After the independent women publicly resigned in

front of the plenary session, two other coordinators announced

they were staying on. One was Barbara Roberts, the other's

name is unknown.

Linda Jenness made a final plea for the independent

women to reconsider. The removal of the independents from WONAAC

has debilitated the organization and most independent representa-

tives will be going back to their own cities to work for abortion

law change in organizations which have no connection with the

SWP.

The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC Will

be able to collect montes in the name of abortion reform and

there is also the concern that

women new to the movement will

join in a mistaken notion that they will be furthering

abortion law reform.

Independents vowed before leaving New York that

they would try to publicize activities from

the SwP in an

effort to prevent this.

As the youth organization of the Socialist

Workers Party (SVP);

the YsA serves as the

main source of recruitnent into that organ

The YSA is described in the masthead

ReAL letter to New York, dated 0/30/72, wherein

Albany asked to be advised of any active investigation being

conducted pe WONAAC, or if any active investigation is

warranted by Albany, FBI.

For the information of the Albany Division, the

New York olfice is the olice of orign, concerning captioned

organization. The Bureau has advised that as the socialist

Workers Party and the Young Socialist Alliance play a major

roll in WONAAC throughout the United States,

and inasmuch

as information has been provided that WONAAC is, for the

most part, totally controlled by socialist Workers Party/

Young socialist Alliance,

the activities of this aganization

should be followed, for

the purpose of determining the

extent of influence and control: by individuals who are

members of Socialist Workers Party/ Young Socialist Alliance,

and who are acting on behalf of these organizations.

Based upon Bureau instructions, in light of

information set forth in referenced Albany letter, concerning

DIANESPARRY, an Socialist Workers Party organizer in the

Utica, New York area, and her reported communication with

national headquarters of WONAAC in New York City.

It would

appear advisable for the Albany Division to institute such

investigation,

as it deems appropriate to ascertain the extent

of Socialist

Workers Party/Young Socialist Alliance activity

in its division in connection with WONAAC.

The Young Socialist Alliance-Twin Cities

Group is the Youth Branch of the Twin Cities

Branch-Socialist Workers Party (TCB-SHO), an

atIlllate of the socialist Workers Party (SWP).

As the youth organization of the Socialist

Workers Party (SWP), the Young Socialist Alliance

(YSA) serves as the main source of recruitment

into that organization.

The YSA is described. in

the masthead of its official publication,

"The

Young Socialist Organizer, " as "A multinational

revolutionary socialist youth organization."

The MWAAC rally held May 6, 1972, began at the

residence of the governor of the State of Minnesota,

1006

Summit Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota, at approximately 3:30P.M.

and proceeded

to the State Capitol

Building where the rally

calling for the repeal of all abortion laws and emphasizing

the demand for the right to legal abortions was held. The

rally was held without incident and speakers identified

included representatives from the YSA-TCG and the TCB-SWP.

Jane Van Deusen was the principle speaker for the MWAAC

at this rally which ended at approximately 5:30 P.M.

iP T-l on

decided that an International Tribunal was planned for

October 21, 1972.

The International Tribunal would be

held in New York City, New York, and it was hoped that

plans could be made for a local tribunal scheduled to be

held October 13, 1972, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after

which individuals would be designated

to attend

• inter-

national meeting scheduled for New York City. This July,

1972, meeting was the first activity on the part of the

MWAAC as anen organized effort following the May 6, 1972,

rally.

MP T-l on

August 9, 1972

Individuals known to be involved in the women's

liberation movement in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis

and

St. Paul, Minnesota, have, during the past six months,

shown

little or no interest in the organization known as the

MWAAC.

Former leaders in the women's liberation movement

have become aware of the SWP influence among the leaders of

the group, and have adopted a hands off policy from active

participation in the affairs of this group. While the

May 6, 1972, rally in St. Paul, Minnesota,

was attended by

some

• 200 individuals, their attendance was considered to be

due to individual interest in the abortion issue.

MP T-2 on

August 17, 1972

SWP INFLUENCE

The MWAAC is not a committee of the TCB-SWP, nor

is it a part of the YSA-TCG.

Women's liberation is a topic

of

general interest and concern to the membership of the

TCB-SWP, and the anti-abortion standard taken by MWAAC is

one aspect of the women's liberation movement of continued

interest.

Members of the YSA-TCG have in the past, expressed

interest in the support of women's liberation as a matter of

policy.

The anti-abortion, or so called legal abortion

movement, is one aspect of this women's liberatión movement

which continues to be of concern to members of the YSA-TCG,

both male and female.

While the vast majority of women in

the State of Minnesota support either the repeal or changes

in present state laws on abortion, supporters of this repeal

or change also include professional women, medical doctors,

lawyers, municipal court judges, and individuals from all

walks of life:

suant to Executive Order 10450.

ORGANIZATIONAL DATA

A. Origin and Scope

NY T-2 on July 21, 1971, and NY I-3 on October 1,

1971, furnished information that over 1,000 women met in

conterence at Columbia University, NYC, NY, on July 1o;

1971, through July 18, 1971, to form a National Movement

of independent groups scattered throughout the United

States (US) who favored and had worked to legalize abortion.

As a result of this conference, WONAAC was founded.

B. Aims and Purposes

In the WONAAC national newsletter, dated September 16,

1971, WONAAC was self-described as a nationally coordina-

ted abortion law repeal campaign including legislation,

legal action, and nationally coordinated mass demonstrations

in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, on November 20, 1971,

for the repeal of all anti-abortion laws and corollary

demands of no forced sterilization, and the repeal of all

restrictive contraception laws.

WONAAC claims to reach

all women, black; Chinaca; Latina; Asian; Puerto Rican;

native American women; campus women; gay women; high

school women; housewives; professional, welfare, and

working women; young women; women from churches, political

organizations, trade unions, the military, and communities

across the country.

C. Headquarters

On November 22, 1972, a Special Agent (SA) of

the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), utilizing a

pretext, contacted

an individual self-identified as CAROL

EATON at telephone number 675-9150, located at 150 5th

Avenue, NYC, NY.

EATON, who stated she is currently a

National Staff member of WONAAC, advised that the National

and NY Staffs of WONAAC are headquartered at this address:

D. When Meetings Held

According to CAROL EATON, regular NY Coalition

meetings of WONAAC are held every other Wednesday evening

at Religious Center at New York University, 2 Washington

Square North, NYC, NY. EATON stated that most MY State

staff members are present at these meetings and at least

one or more National Staff members also try to be in

attendance.

Other than this, state and national staffs

meet periodically, as business demands.

E. Officers

EATON identified the following individuals as

current officers of WONAAC:

National Staff

SUSAN LAMONT

National Coordinator

CAST NIKATEON

NY State Staffl121:

Coordinator

(MARILY MARKUS

CAROIXEATON

BARBARS MUTWICK

## Page 293

NY 100-174481

F. Membership and Finances

According to EATON, WONAAC does not maintain a

formal membership, as such,

and financially exists only

through voluntary contributions.

She stated that all

staff members, National and NY State, serve on a voluntary

basis, receive no salary, and get only a small "subsistance

allowance" which the staff has found necessary to supplement

with their own personal funds in order to get by.

G. WONAAC Affiliates

CAROL EATON stated there are presently 36 WONAAC

affiliates, also called "coalitions" throughout the US, and

that most states of the union are represented by an affiliate

or coalition.

11.

YSA-SWP INFLUENCE AND CONTROL

OVER WONAAC

NY T-1 provided information on July 22, 1971,

that the First National Womens Abortion Conference was

held at Columbia University, NYC, NY, from July 16, 1971,

to July 18, 1971, which resulted

in the founding of WONAAC.

NY T-l stated that it was immediately apparent that this

conference was taken over and influenced by YSA-SWP members

who infiltrated the various conference committees and

no infiltrated

workshops which were established to help formulate the

main direction the Coalition would follow in the future.

NY I-l stated that it seemed certain the YSA-SWP would,

in the future, dictate policy for this organization and

would be able to control the utilization of WONAAC funds.

On August 5, 1971, NY I-4 provided a leaflet

captioned, "What Every Woman Should Know"

This leaflet,

which was

published by Feminist Organization for Communi-

cation:; Action and Service (F.O.C.A.S.), related the following:

"The Womens

National Abortion Coalition

has

oeen called and organized by the SWP and its affiliate,

-he YSA, Including women supposedly representing Women's

Liberation groups, who in truth represent, first, the

4

NW 68262 Docld:32989546 Page 293

## Page 294

NY 100-174481*

SWP and YSA. These women attach more importance to their

political movement than to the Women's Liberation Movement.

And when 77% of the women in this country are for reform

of abortion laws, there is fertile soil for a political:

party to build itself on.

The SWP/YSA realizes this and

is taking advantage of it."

On August 5, 1971, a leaflet

captioned "F.0.C.A.s." revealed

in part as follows:

"A nucleus of about eight feminists

have formed FOCAS, Feminist

Organization for Communication,

Action and Service.

FOCAS evolved

from the Women's Strike Coalition

(WSC), which the Socialist Workers

Party abruptly abandoned on May

25th in order to form the committee

for WONAAC. Since that time a

nucleus of women from WSC together

with like-minded feminists pre-

served the WSC in order to main-

tain and expand a multi-issue

action-oriented Women's Libera-

tion coalition in the NYC area.

Assisted by loans from supporting

feminists, the new WSC paid

back nearly a thousand of the •

three thousand dollars of debts

incurred by the SWP women who

had controlled the old wSc.

The "Militant" issue of August 6, 1971, page five,

in an article

entitled, "Abortion Campaign Counters Red-

Baiting", revealed in part, with respect to the founding

WONAAC conference in July, 1971:

"The Militant" is a weekly news~

paper of the SWP.

build the abortion conference...."

NY I-5 advised on November 12, 1971, that à NY

Planning Meeting Of WONAAC was held at LOEB Student Center,

NY University, NY, on November 11, 1971, to lay plans

for a scheduled November 20, 1971

demonstration in Washington,

DC.

According to this source, this meeting was completely

dominated and controlled by members of the SWP..

NY T-6 related on November 16, 1971, that the Upper

West Side Branch of the YSA planned to send a

• contingent

of its members to Washington, DC, on November 20, 1971;

in order to participate in the planned demonstration there

on that date.

NY T-6 stated that practically all the members of the

uptown branch of the YSA, NY, were expected to participate

in this activity.

NY I-5 related on January 20, 1972, that the scheduled

November 20, 1971 march in Washington was

"crucial" to

all SWP and

YSA branches in that it afforded an opportunity

for selling of "The Militant"

and other SWP/YSA literature,

and

also afforded an opportunity for "intervening " in the

action via distribution of SWP Election Campaign literature.

NY T-8 on February Il, 1972, and NY I-9 and NY I-10

on February 14, 1972, provided information that a WONAAC

convention was held February 11, 1972, to February 13, 1972,

at Hayden Hall, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts.

"How to Win

Abortion Law Repeal". NY I-8 stated that approximately

30 members of the YSA or SWP Boston Chapters were observed.

in attendance at this convention.

NY I-7 related on February 14, 1972, that because of the

de-escalation of the Vietnam War by the NIXON

Administration,

the YSA-New York Local (NYL), while continuing on with

anti-war work through the NY

Student Mobilization

NY 100-174481

Committee (SMC)

and NY National Peace Action Coalition

(NPAC), both of which organizations they dominate, would

also concentrate in the area of the Women's Liberation

Movement through their influence in WONAAC:

The SMC is controlled by the

SWP and its youth affiliate,

YSA.

SMC initiates and supports

public demonstrations against

the war in Southeast Asia.

NPAC was founded in 1970 by

members of the sWP.

Its objec-

tive is the immediate, total

and unconditional withdrawal

of all US forces and material

in Southeast Asia.

NY I-T advised on various dates, March 23, 1972,

through October 17, 1972, that activities of WONAAC were

dutifully reported

and included on the agenda at regular

meetings of the Upper West Side Branch, YSA-New York Local

(NYL) during that period.

NY T-5 advised on April 18, 1972, that the leader-

ship of WONAAC was then dominated by the SWP.

NY T-7 related on July 7, 1972, that at a WONAAC

meeting held June 27, 1972, at 706 Broadway, NYC, NY,

starting at 6:40 PM, it was announced that even though

VONAAC previously had accused various

female activists

working along with them in the Women's Liberation struggle

of red baiting because of the stand they had taken against

the SWP-Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), at present they

are forced to work with these individuals to help strengthen

the WONAAC cause.

At this meeting, certain WONAAC staff members

walked out and voiced their disapproval of the meeting

being taken over by a majority of SWP-YSA members.

They indicated that the SWP-YSA has no right to be in a

policy-making position in WONAAC.

NY 100-174481

NY I-7 on. July 18, 1972, and NY I-ll on July 19,

1972, provided information that a WONAAC conference was

held

at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street on

July 15, 1972 and July 16, 1972.

NY I-7 stated that NYC was picked as the site of

this convention because this city is considered to be

the center of the most powerful anti-abortion effort so'far.

Discussionsheld at this conference centered on

plans for (one)-future activity in the campaign to repeal

all anti-abortion and contraception laws and (two)-to

end forced sterilization.

A discussion was held concerning the attacks

being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other

anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their own

bodies.

NY I-ll related that the evening plenary session

of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972, and it was immediately

apparent that the SWP-YSA groups dominated the meeting:

Independent women who wanted to make statements during

this session were voted down by SWP floor leaders and

these same persons continued to vote as a block on all

issues.

The group of independent women from various

geographic areas, that is, those women who were not

associated with the SWP Or YSA, went together after the

plenary session was adjourned and considered the problem

of how to handle the SWP leaders.

While these women

were not political realists in their goals, they did

believe in working throughout the existing

system rather

than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal of

revolution.

It was decided that the independent feminists

would no longer continue hassling within WONAAC.

did not want to have decisions for them being structured

by a male dominated group.

They also decided that money

being collected by WONAAC

in the name of abortion law

change was not being used for that purpose, but rather

to sustain

members of the SWP-YSA.

The sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was

labeled "Meeting to Discuss

Internal Hassles.

Aböut 35

independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members

and sympathizers were present. Independents there were

from New Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York (NY), Chicago,

Philadelphia, and San

Francisco.

The independents did not waiver in their firm

opposition to SWP-YSA control of WONAAC. Six national

coordinators of WONAAC were independents and decided to

resign publicly at the afternoon plenary session.

They

also decided to combat SWP control of the feminist move-

ment through the various publications.

Pr

_The six national coordinators who resigned were

JUDYSIPHERS, San Francisco: ANN Cy DAVIDSON, Philadelphia:

ROSE WEBER, NX: VICKIXESLINGER, Columbia, South Carolina;

NANCEKROLE, NY: ANd ELLENESHAPIRO, NY.

There were approximately 700-800 women in atten-

dance at the afternoon session.

According to one of the

SWP leaders, these women were from 31 states and three

countries-Canada, Italy and Sweden.

The states that had

more representation than others were Ohio, Illinois, New

York and Massachusetts.

Most of the problems and differences between the

independents and the SWP centered around approaches to

abortion law reform. The SWP was charged with always

having demonstrations and rallies and never doing any

work through the legislative process.

The independents stated that they were tired of

this hassle and that they believed there were more eI-

fective ways to change abortion laws than carrying placards

in the

streets.

Mu?.

BER OF SUDEOT CHUABEEEZION

LINDA-JENNESS made a final plea for the indepen-

dent women to reconsider.

The removal of the independents

from WONAAC has debilitated the organization and most

independent representatives will be going back to their

own cities to work for abortion law change in organizations

which have no connection with the SWP.

The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will

be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform

and there is also the concern that women new to the move-

ment will join in a mistaken notion that they will be

furthering abortion law reform.

Independents vowed before leaving Ny that they

would try to publicize activities from the SWe in an

effort to prevent this.

III. OBSERVATION OF CURRENT NATIONAL

STAFF MEMBER REGARDING YSA/SWP INFLUENCE

When contacted under pretext on November 24,

1972, CAROL EATON, self-identified as a current National

Staff member, and previously mentioned in this report,

inception.

EATON, while

she is definitely not a

acknowledged

in WONAAC.

She went on to

state, however, that WONAAC

has never allied itself politically with any organization

or individual, including any of the political candidates

in the recent political election and, despite its diverse

makeup

as too ideological beliefs of its membership,

WONAAC is basically an organization which strives only

to the objectives for which it was originally founded.

To this end, she went on, WONAAC would accept help from

whatever source offered.

10

NW 68262 Docld:32989546 Page 299

---

## Page 300

NY 100-174481

EATON admitted there were some problems in

the past with regard to friction within WONAAC about SWP

and YSA influence.

She stated, however, this matter, to

her observation, never seemed a serious one,

and is quite

minimal today.

With regard to the "walk out" of six

national coordinators at the July, 1972 conference in NYC,

she stated the walk out did not occur, in fact, because

of the SWP/YSA influence question, but rather because

those who walked out believed WONAAC should be a "referral

agency", while those who stayed felt it should not.

referral agency, EATON stated she means an agency which would refer

callers to a specific location or place where abortions

could be obtained.

IV. PLANNED PROJECTS

CAROL EATON advised that WONAAC plans an inter-

national Tribunal march to be held in NYC, NY, from March 9,

1972, to March 11, 1972. She stated plans have not yet been

finalized, including the exact location or site this event

will take

place.

However, she noted that sIMonE, BEAUVOIR,

ERNE

a Parisian, well known in the Women's Liberation Movement,

would be honorary chairwoman.

that the WONAAC had moved to offices located on the third

In regard to your request to continue attempts

to develop information regarding RONAAC, an organization

dominated and controlled by the socialist Workers Party

of Pennsylvania, you are authorized to continue your

investigation.

You should, however, restrict your

investigation to determining the degree of infiltration

and domination of this organization by swP or its youth

arm, the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) • This investigation

must be conducted in a most discreet manner and limited

to established sources.

No action is to be taken by you

which could in any way be construed as infringement by the

FBI on academic freedom at the University of Pennsylvania.

It is noted by the Bureau that the above

informacion was received by your office on 10/26/72, however,

your request was not submitted to the Bureau until 1/31/73,

a period in excess of 90 days. Although it 1s recognized

there may be other matters requiring more immediate attention,

the delay in this instance appears unreasonable. In the

MISCELLANEOUS - INFORMATION CONCERNING

(00: NY)

Re New York letter to the Bureau, 6/6/72; Bureau 0-7

to New York, 7/12/72; and Philadelphia letter to the Bureau,

2/28/73.

As outlined in referenced New York letter, the

New York Office noted, as far back as June, 1972, it

recognized that, although several leaders

of WONAAC were

known to be SWP members,

their activities, as pertaining

"IONAAC, had been directed toward the legal

repeal of all

restrictive abortion laws, and investigation had disclosed

no indication that WONAAC, as an organization, had engaged in

any subversive or vidence

prone activity.

Referenced Bureau O-7, referencing the aforementioned

communication, nevertheless instructed that the New York Office,

as office of origin, had overall responsibility for captioned

organization, and directed the New York Office to reopen its

case and submit semi-annual reports:

A review of the results of the continuing investigation

Of WONAAC, together with all indices and references pertaining

thereto,

since June 1972, reflects no apparent change in the

activities or the organization or its membership from that

outlined above.

The New York Office is in accord with the view of the

Philadelphia Division, as set forth in its referenced letter,

that WONAAC represents basically a social change vehicle which,

despite disparate political views of its leaders and membership,

deals with the single issue of abortion rights!

In view of instructions set forth in Bureau

memorandum 10-73, dated 3/6/73, paragraph G, wherein the

Bureau reiterated its policy that the FBI has no interest

in individuals and organizations involved in legitimate

dissent and the recent United States Supreme Court decision

upholding the right to abortion, It appears continued

investigation of WONAAC as such

is not justified.

The New York Office further concurs with the

Philadelphia view that continued investigati on of the SWP

and/or YSA would produce the desired coverage and information

concerning its members who are associated or active in WONAAC.

UACB, the New York Office is closing the investigation

of this organization.

RePElet 2/28/73.

The Wonen's National Abortion Action Coalition (HONAAC)

has been the subject of a separate investigation by the Bureau

in nunerous offices.

In referenced letter, Philadelphia pointed

out that WONAAC represents a basic social change dealing with

abortion rights and that in view of the lact the U,S. Supreme

Court upheld the right of abortion, the continued investigation

DE WONAAC at this time does not appear to be desirable and

should be discontinued. Philadelphia also suggested that

continued investigation of the Socialist Workers Party (SYP)

and its youth group, the Young socialist Alliance (YSA), should

determine pertinent activities of WONAAC.

After careful consideration of this matter, the Bureau

agrees with the observations of the Philadelphia Office that the

investigation of VONAAC should be discontinued,

However, in view

of the fact that wONAAd is doninated and controlled by the swe, a

trotskyise communist organization Cited by the Actorney General

pursuant to Executive Order 10450, it is the responsibility of the

Bureau to investigate and repori pertinent intornation relating

to the extent of SWP donination and control of captioned

organization.

Therefore, recipients should close separate

investigations concerning MONAAC.

In the future, report above-

described infornation regarding WONAAC under appropriate subheading

in the SHp semiannual organizational reports.

Women's National March

on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971

Reference is made to New York memorandum

dated March 16, 1971.

On March 24, 1971, a source, who has furnished

reliable information in the

1971, a "committee for April 10%, advised that on March 22,

held a meeting at the Law

Commune Office, 640 Broadway, New York City (NYC), which

was attended by 30 to 40 females. It was learned

that a

woman from the New York (NY) group was already in Washington,

D.C. working with others

there to arrange permits, speakers,

et cetera, for the womens march on the Pentagon on April 10,

1971. It was stated that it was easier to obtain a permit

for a march from the Justice Department to the Pentagon,

than Irom the pentagon to the Justice department, but that

no permit had been obtained as yet.

It was pointed out that

a march from the pentagon to the Justice Department was

preferred as there would be less chance of losing marchers

en route to the Justice Department than from marching

from the Justice Department to the Pentagon. It was stated

that no buses had been chartered at NY, but it was hoped that

15 buses would be needed.

past, advised that the Law Commune

• is not an

organization in the usual sense of the word.

It is rather a law firm comprised of a group

of lawyers interested and sympathetic to the

New Left and Black Power organizations, and who

counsel and defend individuals in these groups

as the occasion arises.

They likewise permit

their premises to be used on occasion as a meeting

place for these organizations and distribute

some of their literature.

On March 25, 1971, the second advised that as of

now there is much confusion

over the mechanical aspects of

the Women's National March on April 10, 1971, and that the

people in Washington, D.C. will make the ultimate decision

regarding the route of the march.

The source stated that

in It, information concerning buses for washingion, D.C.

will be available at the Upper West Side Women's Center,

627 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, telephone number 874-6696.

on March 24, 1971, the second source made available

a piece of literature

sent out by the "April 10 Women's

Committee" concerning the national women's march on the

Pentagon on April 10. This literature contained in part as

follows:

"We are going to the Pentagon on April 10 to

serve notice on our enemies that women are moving against

them.

Our urgency and our fury at the expansion of the

Indochinese war and our rage at the repression of our black

and brown sisters and brothers needs expression right now.

We are joining with other women to struggle for the everyday

things we need and against whatever and whoever prevents us

from getting them.

"We need and want our sisters around the country

to build for this action in their own ways, and to communicate

with other sisters their ideas,

suggestions and criticisms.

This is a temporary contact list which came out of the Ann

APPENDIX

STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY

Students for a Democratic Society, commonly

known as SDS, came into existence at a founding convention

held during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an

initial posture of "participatory democracy," Marxist-

• Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant

during 1968-1969 with debate centering on how best to create

a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from involvement

in the civil rights struggle to an anti-Vietnam war position

to advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist line linking up

the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America

with the black liberation movement in the United States.

All major factions within SDS embrace Marxism-Lenism

and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North

Vietnam

as countries leading the worldwide struggles

against the United States.

However, the Soviet Union

was regarded as imperialist ind with the Communist Party,

United States of America,

"Irvisionist" in nature.

SDS operated under

a national constitution which

called for an annual Nationa

Convention (NC) and quarterly

National Council meetings wherein programs were initiated

and debated.

Three national

officers were elected

annually

with a National Interim Committee to run the organization.

Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to

the national meetings but each functioned

independently on

local matters.

Its official publicition "Fire" (formerly

"New Left Notes") last appeared in ecember, 1969.

Internal factionalism of serious proportions

developed during 1968 - 1969 and tle following three factions

evolved as a result of a split at he June, 1969, NC:

Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance (WSA), and Revolutionary

Youth Movement (RYM) •

The

effect of the split on SDS chapters

throughout the country was divisive.

Some aligned with one

or the other of the three major factions.

Others, unable to

identify with any faction, disassociated

with SDS completely

and changed names.

The SDS national office in recent years was

located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. It

was closed in February, 1970.

WEATHIERMAN

APPENDIX

Initially called the "iction Faction," Weatherman

came into being immediately before

the June, 1969, Students

for a Democratic Society (Si)S) Wational Convention (NC).

At this iC weatherman won all three national officer positions

and a majority of the National Interin Committee as well.

subseguently, they took over the SDS National Office (NO)

in Chicago, and controlled its funds, paper and national

records.

Although internal struggle existed until late 1969,

Weatherman for all major purposes controlled sos nationally

from June, 1969, until its i0 closed in February, 1970. At

this time it no

longer considered itself part of SDS.

The term Weatherman emerged fion an ideological

paper prepared by its leaders entitled "You Don't need a

Weatherman to know Which Way

the Wind Blows" ("New Left

Notes" June 18, 1969). This statement outlined the basic

stance of Weatherman: Marxist-Leninist in content but with

strong advocacy that action not theory vould bring about

revolution in the United States.

This posture was conplemented

with an international identification to the Cuban revolution

and CASTRO's statement that the duty of a revolutionary is

to make revolution.

During October, 1969, Weatherman riots in

Chicago resulted in more

than

260 arrests for nob action

and related charges.

A program of armed struggle was

finalized during a December, 1969, "War Council" whercin

terrorist tactics and political assassination were

contemplated.

The basic strength of licatherman was then

revealed to be some 300 - 350 nationally and geographically

apportioned to the Midwest, New York, and some Northwest.

As its rhetoric of violence escalated, Weatherman

leaders increasingly discussed the necessity of

an underground

operation wherein more than 90 percent of the organization

would

be submerged; "affinity groups" of three - five members

would function independently.

In February, 1970, Weatherman

leaders announced a program of "strategic sabotage" with

police and military installations as primary targets.

In February, 1970, Heathernan abandoned the

SDS NO, 1608 West Madison Stroet, Chirar, Illinois, and

throughout the country erterid an in errround status.

A characterization of the lus

is set out separately.

WORKER STUDENT ALLIANCE/

PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY

A source advised during August, 1969; that at

the National Convention (NC) of Students for a Democratic

society (SDS) held in Chicago, Illinois, during June, 1969

neva in chicago,

a split arose between the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) and

the National Office (NO), the N) becoming known as the

Weatherman faction.

The PLP fastion drew the largest

support among those in attendanse at the NC.

Source further advisel that during late Summer,

1969, the PLP faction of SDS established its National

Headguarters (NH) on the second floor of a loft-type

building at 173A Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.

The campaign on which the PLP faction

centered was to build

a worker student alliance or a campus worker student

alliance. Thus, they adopted the names of Worker Student

Alliance (WSA) or Campus Worker Student Alliance.

Source stated that the "New Left Notes," printed

in New York City, is the official publication of the WSA

faction.

A second source advised during January, 1970,

that within the SDS, the WSA is a caucus of which the PLP

constitutes the leadership.

A third source advisel during July, 1970, that

during demonstrations staged ir the Boston area during the

Spring and Summer of 1970 by the NH, the main theme of

previous demonstrations staged y the NH shifted from

protestations of the Vietnam War and other United States

foreign policy matters to attar sing domestic issues such

as racism and unemployment and lemonstrating support of

the

"workers' struggle."

Characterizations of the SDS

and PLP are set out separately.

REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH MOVEMENT

A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth

Movement II (RYMII) faction of Students for a Democratic

Society (SDS) held a national conference at Atlanta, Georgia,

from November 26 to 30, 1969. At this conference it was

decided to form a new oiganization to be known as Revolutionary

Youth Movement (RYM), characterized as a mass anti-imperialist

youth organization, said organization being proposed as

separate and distinct in form and content from SDS.

The

"principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a

struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy; fights

against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression

of youth; and support of the right of self-determination of

all "oppressed nations," also support of the right of all

"oppressed and

exploited"

peoples "to armed self-defense."

It was agreed that RYM would not be a Marxist-Leninist

organization; however, source said this was decided in order

to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be

acceptable to everyone.. A temporary National Steering

Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was

elected to govern RYM until national officers could be

elected during the Spring of 1970.

RYM publications have listed the RYM National Office

(NO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 C,

both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that

the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as

located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta.

Second source advised that women dominated the

founding conference and have continued to dominate NSC

meetings to the point that "women's liberation" has apparently

become the RYM's principal issue - also that RYM's poor

financial condition has resulted in its failure to publish

a paper.

During early 1970, RYM has decided to cater to

the working class rather than youth, since the potential for

social revolution

lies

in workers.

A third source has stated that it was decided at

the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RIM women had decided the

organization will be molded into a "working class, Marxist-

Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist, problack

nationalist, people's women's liberation organization."

A characterization of the SDS

is set out separately.

PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY

The "New York Times" city edition Tuesday,

April 20, 1965, Page 27, reported that a new party of

"revolutionary

socialism" was formally founded on April 18,

1965, under the name of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP),

which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement.

According to the article, "The Progressive Labor

Movement was founded in 1962, by MILTON ROSEN and MORTIMER

SCHEER after they were expelled from the Communist Party of

the United States for assertedly following the Chinese

Communist line."

A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLF

held its Second National Convention in New

York City, May 31,

to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its

objective

of the establishment of a militant working class

movement based on Marxism-Leninism.

The source also advised that at the Second National

Convention, MILION ROSEN was unanimously re-elected National

Chairman of the PLP and LEVI LAUB, FRED JEROME, JARED ISRAEL,

WILLIAM EPTON, JACOB ROSEN, JEFFREY GORDON and WALTER LINDER

were elected

as the National Committee to lead the PLP until

the next convention.

The PLP publishes "Progressive Labor," a bimonthly

magazine, and "Challenge-Desafio,"

' a monthly newspaper.

Source advised on May 25, 1970, that the PLP

utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn,

New York, and also utilizes an office in Room 617, 1 Union

Square West, New York, New York.

According to information received from the Washington Field

Office and Domestic Intelligence Division, the 'April Tenth Women's Committee"

of New York City, a recently formed group of women's protest organizations,

plans a "March on the Pentagon" on Saturday, 4/10/71, as an anti-war protest.

Plans call for the protesters, who may number as many as 5,000, to assemble

at L'Enfant Square, Constitution Avenue, between Seventh and Ninth Streets,

Northwest, between 11:00 a.m. and noon, and thereafter march to the Pentagon

via Constitution Avenue and Memorial Bridge. The demonstration is scheduled

to end around 5:00 p.m. The Committee has reportedly chartered 14 busses

capable of carrying 630 passengers from New York City to Washingta. The

busses are scheduled to unload at the Justice Building, where it is reported the

women will demonstrate. It is noted that L'Enfant Square, the assembly point

for the demonstrators, is within one block of the Justice Building. The protesters

are then scheduled to march to the Pentagon, where they will hold another

demonstration and will be picked up by the busses at the Pentagon.

General Services Administration (GSA) and Department security

officials are cognizant and plan to reinforce the guard force at the Tenth Street

Auto Entrance, which is the only Justice Building entrance open on Saturday.

Since we do not conduct tours on Saturday, no adjustment in our tours is neces-

sary.

Women's Bail Fund

Unless otherwise stated, all sources in

this memorandum have furnished reliable

information in the past.

on March 30, 1971, a first confidential source

furnished literature, concerning the Women's Bail Fund, which

was picked up at the

Upper Westside Womens Center, 627

The literature captioned,

Women's House of Detention, in New York City (NYC), should

not exist and that "the Women's House of Detention, along with the

prisons and jails across the country, is a weapon used by the

power structure here

in America to oppress and exploit the people

of poor communities."

It further relates that "women have come

together in New York from many different organizations to form a

women's

Bail Fund for all the sisters inside the House of

Detention. The Bail

Fund is also working to prepare simple

pamphlets on law because of the total lack of any legal

resources in

the House of Detention and secure legal assistance

where needed." The address is listed as the Women's Bail Fund,

P.O. Box 637, Cooper Station, NY, NY 10003.

on August 26, 1971, the first source furnished

literature on the Women's Bail Fund which stated, "The Women's

Bail Fund is a coalition of Third World and white women who are:

.....raising bail to release women prisoners from

Rikers Island.

"

...establishing communication with women inside.

"

... assisting women who are bailed out in meeting

their needs.

On April 12, 1971, a second confidential source

made available a flyer on the Women's Bail Fund which was

distributed at the National Womens March on the Pentagon on

April 10, 1971.

captioned,

"Victory to the NLF and All

Oppressed Peoples" states

The flye. "women in Vietnam and in the united

States are fighting for the right to live: for the very right

to exist..... the U.S. is now dotted with concentration camps

for

the poor and non-white: the jails.... But imprisonment doesnt'

break the spirit of the sisters in jail. They resist!

When denied

their dignity, they organize and fight back. When one sister is

beaten they

organiz

and resist. In the coldest part of winter

when the boilers had broken down,

the women worked in freezing

temperatures in cold water to do

the laundry-not 'because the

pigs made us do it - but for our 'own beautiful sisters.' .....We

Vietnamese, Black, Latin, White and Asian-american women are

united in our struggle -

we share common goals and face a common

enemy •

We express our complete solidarity with the NLF and shall

work to bring the victory there."

On May 14, 1971, Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a demonstration in front

of the NYC Women's House of Detention sponsored by the Women's

Bail Fund and Youth Against war and Fascism (YAWF).

demonstrators chanted slogans calling for release

"sisters" from jail and expressed opposition to a proposed move

of the inmates of the Women's House of Detention from its

downtown site to the Rikers Island Prison

demonstrators called this proposed move an attempt to isolate

the "sisters from their supporters."

By means of a loudspeaker, the demonstrators called to

several inmates of the House of Detention who appeared in the

upper storey windows, obtained their names and place of arrest.

This information allegedly was to be used to obtain bail for the

prisoners in question.

Thereafter, several speakers denounced

the jails as concentration camps and called for the release of the

"political prisoners." in the House of Detention. Among the

speakers was Shirley Taylor of the Women's Bail Fund and a

former inmate of the Women's House of Detention.

the "Liberated Guardian

Organizing Our Anger"

, written by five unidentified members

of the Women's Bail Fund Collective..

The article relates "The Women's Bail Fund is a

group of about 35 women in New York City that bails women

out of jail (150 so far).

They have been organized for over

a year and a half and did their first bailout on December 20,

1970.

They have been active in supporting other groups

involved in the prison struggle.

They do legal follow-up

for bailed-out sisters who want it and have been talking

with people about the prison struggle, why jails exist, who

the real enemies are, etcetera."

The article is introduced by the following

statement:

"For this article we wanted to talk about ourselves.

So five of us volunteered to collect different thoughts from

as many women as possible in our group and then pooled these

reflections in this article, using the words from their raps."

The article, being reflections of the various

members of the group,

is a series of quotes by unidentified

members

concerning the WBF.

The following are reflections of some WBF

members carried under the subcaption "Our Roots - Why

We Started - Why We Joined"

"There was a woman in my consciousness-raising

group who was in the bail fund when it was first getting

started and she talked with others about it.

To some of

us it was a very exciting idea.

To others it was

frightening - connecting to political activity as women.

Ultimately it ended in a split of my small group on

whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness

to any sort of feminist political

• action or not.

"In the past, I was politically frustrated because

I was only involved in one-shot actions.

I saw what was

happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress

black people and that resulted inalot of pain for me.

felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle.

I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware

of that need.

When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my

head.

I make judgements like this jude is better than another

but it's all shit.

judges are pigs. Or like

Feeling good that a sister got six months instead of five

years when she shouldn't have gotten anything at all.

"I was in the House of Detention when there was the

bail fund demonstration on December 20, 1970. The whole

tier was so excited. When someone saw the first people she

let out a scream and everyone rushed to the windows.

As

the chanting increased outside we started to sing and chant.

They locked us in our cells so each person would be isolated

and intimidated about chanting.

But all the women kept it

up. Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration

was different than other demonstrations. There had been more

contact.

The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman

that they had known inside outside in the demonstration.

That was real important.

"A lot of it was the bail fund. The bail fund

banner with the address made it real that people were serious

about supporting people inside. It wasn't going to be a

one+shot deal.

So much of what we do is short-term support

stuff that can be seen as reformist.

When prisoners raise

people on the outside raise them, they are felt to be

I have done a whole lot of courtroom work,

both in the bail fund and before too. In fact, the whole

radical circles, the radicals and feminists and such. And

when you read MAO, he talks about service to the people

as a revolutionary thing.

But for us it feels weird

because it has been co-opted.

I think that the movement

now,

trying to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that

original sense of service to the people, trying

to help

people survive.

out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in

more political education among ourselves and to ask other

groups how they've dealt with this question. Also we

should be more involved in educating other people.

"We should be doing more for women inside. We

need to really work on facilitating communications

between the sisters inside the jail. Women prisoners

have been slower to get organized but I'm sure this is

because there is so much isolation in the women's jail.

Concretely, we need to write more letters

to find out what

about what other women are thinking and feeling.

This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the

sense of solidarity.

"I think much of the movement is guilty of

ultra-leftism. In China the Communists worked on a lot

of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately

wanted.

We're too afraid of being contaminated by being

involved in reform movements.

We too often define our

enemies too broadly and our

allies too narrowly.

Re New York airtel and IHM, 8/28/72, and captioned

as above.

on 11/28/72, WY 7615-S advised the Women's Bail Fund

(WBF) is not a leading element and lacks any influence in the

movement in New York City.

A review of the subject file discloses there is no

structure to the WBF and that it is a coalition of women who

belong to various groups in the New York City area, whose main

purpose is to raise Iunds Ior selected women in jail.

It is noted that Weatherman subjects have contacted

those involved in the bail fund.

However, have decryed the

of political direction of

the WBF and would like to turn

it into a defense committee because of a lack of any other

direction. There is no indication that this has occurred, and

the bail fund still remains a loose coalition of like-minded :

individuals from various groups seeking to raise funds for.

various purposes.

Because of its lack of common political dir-: '

ection, it has had no influence and presently is ineffective in

the movement.

In view of the above, the NYO is discontinuing investi-

gation in this matter to be reopened upon receipt of pertinent

information from sources that the bail fund is being redirected

as a

structured group for a common political and ideological

purpose.

Boston file 100-38735 entitled "EVAN PATCHEN

DELLINGER, aka PATCH DELLINGER; SM - ANARCHIST (BUFILE

100-450998)" reflected that DELLINGER was subject of

Boston investigation based on his participation in a

"Teach-In"

and Rededication Service on 1/29/68 at the

Arlington St. Church, Boston. During the above activity?

DELLINGER made a

statement in support of the "Resistance

Group" and turned in what was reported to be Selective

Service cards.

The primary function of the Resistance Group

was to aid, abet, and counsel young men faced with the

draft.

EVAN PATCHEN DELLINGER graduated from Swarthmore

College, Swarthmore, Pa., on 6/0/06 majoring it economics.

He was arrested at Chester, Pa. on 4/1/64 and was charged

with disorderly conduct.

The 1968-59 Harvard University Directory of

Officers and Students reflected that DELLINGER was enrolled

in the School of Medicine, Harvard University, Cambridge,

Mass.

It had been reported that PATCH DELLINGER was

present at a Socialist Workers Party (SWP) Street Meeting

in New York City on 7/21/64.

The file further disclosed that inasmuch as the

Boston office had no current information associating DELLIN-

GER with the SWP or the Young Socialist Alliance and that:

his activities on behalf of the New England Resistance were

pacifist in nature, it was felt that DELLINGER did not

warrant inclusion on the Security or Agitator Indexes main-

tained at that time; and thus, the case was placed in a closed

status.

A review of Boston file 25-25585 (Bufile 25-569484)

reflected that DELLINGER was also subject of investigation

based on his participation in the previously mentioned

Rededication

Services at the Arlington St. Church in Boston

on 1/29/68 at which 23 individuals turned in either a

Notice of Classification and/or a Registration Certificate.

Two other individuals turned in some other type of, document.

It was determined that DELLINGER had turned in a Selective

Service Registration Certificate and two Notices of Classi-

fication issued by LB #28, Flemington, New Jersey. Also,

a two-page statement signed PATCHEN DELLINGER supporting

the Resistance movement was turned in.

In April, 1972, AUSA, Boston declined any prosecu-..

tion concerning DELLINGER.

On 8/21/72, personnel of the Office of the Mass.

Commissioner of Probation, Suffolk County Courthouse, Boston,

a central repository for all traffic and criminal conviction

records within the Commonwealth of Mass., advised that their

files contain no record identifiable with CHARLES WELCH,
