Tne film wP+RATION ABOLITION was shown in our school, and much controversy arose as a result. I wished to get some background of the Hearings, so upon request sent me the full transcript. I was quite disturbed to find, in part 3, testimony given by Karl Prussion, which sSeened to definitely point to tne fact that ta ries Soins tee oad been infiltrated by some Communist Party activity. This testimony may be found on pages 2399 and 2201. Io have always surported and believed in tue Aierican Frienc Service Committee, csrecially their humanitarian relief work, 3 a which began followine World War I. + nave sometimes disagreed $47 quite stronely with their political point of vi-w, ¢ ssecially heir pacifisn, which, I believe, leads tnem down tue "Yarden path."
