I Mos, € Mos; Year $5 as $4.55 86.10 $1820 | Mrs. Roosevelt ie“Hightander Folk School at Mfont- eagle, “Tenn. Fe i, Has ; earned its bad reputa- tion over a “a long period of years as a result of its leftwing programs, the Communist-front taint of its leadership and the disgraceful conduct of school leaders when called upon by congres- sional committees to answer justified ‘questions about its operations. ‘ More recently, attention has been centered on TIighlander Folk School be- cause of its emphasis on forcing racial Inte; ration ard the accompanying de- ‘terloration of harmony and disruption wf good will upon the South. It is a gathering place for leaders in agitation of racial issues. When criticigm arises, the school has always been able to —fountupon statements of defense from EVERETT ALLEN Treasurer a a clique of leftwing “do-gooders’ whose prominent positions in various fields have been tarnished by their misuse of them in this and similar respects.

Rooseveit's name Jong has been linked wiih the school, she having been one of its early contributors and sponsors. Mrs, Roosevelt's participation in he Highlander Folk School program will not raise either its reputation or hers. But considering both the school's record and Mrs. Roosevelt's association will probably damage neither, since both -already have sunk so low. -_ am ~ - teas relat record, their new - ol-7s1/-A
