Dear Louise:

Many thanks for your nice letter of April 10. Needless to say, the ICFTU is very proud that its material is appearing in IBERICA. And, also needless to say, we'll continue sending it to you.

If you have an extra copy of your testimony before the hearings I would appreciate it very much. After looking it over I'll pass it along to Adamczyk and Horne.

We, too, were glad that our letter on Spain finally appeared in the New York Times. I suppose that such things are necessary for if we let the Ambassador's untruths go unchallenged so many people are apt to believe them.

I'm not sure how I will be able to see you before I leave for Europe on April 23 as I just seem to get further and further behind in my work. Our Herman Patteet, head of our Geneva office, will be arriving tomorrow to handle ECOSOC in my absence. I'll do my best to set up something so that he and I can meet with you. Perhaps we may be able to do this at the U.N. some day this week. At any rate I'll call you.

Enclosed are some more excerpts from our Radio Bulletin in which you will be interested.

Best personal regards.

Mr. William Kemsley
ICFTU
20 West 40 St.
New York, N.Y.

Dear Bill:

Thankyou for the various news items, protests and manifestos re-
ceived from your office and directly from Mr. Adamczyk this month.
You will see that they are all put to good use, in fact IBERICA
seems to be converting itself into an ICFTU organ!

I hope your cold didn't hang on long. You will have noted that I
survived our ordeal, but I was scheduled at the end of the hearings
along with all the other crack-pots who opposed foreign aid, and I
don't know how much good it did all in all. However my (I should say
"our" because again we made good use of ICFTU material) statement
will I assume be printed in the Committee record (along with that of
Mrs. Agnes Waters who says that Ike should be impeached because he
has continued the policy of Arch-Traitor Acheson by selling us out
to the communist controlled U.N., and that we are importing 800,000
cannibals to the U.S., etc. etc.).

Now I believe we will be called to testify before the Senate Com-
mittee on Appropriations , -later on, that is, - however we would very
much appreciate an opportunity to consult with you beforehand. I know
that you are far basier than I am (except for the 10 days before we
print) so perhaps you could just let me know when you have time to
see me. The sooner the better, though, as far as I am concerned.

Oh, congratulations to you and Arnold Beichman on the letter in the
N.Y.Times, which still looked good even after the lapse of time.

Best regards,

Louise Crane
