In fact I was told recently by one of wea fee +e ere eR your epents that the contents of the ens osed news release would be considered commnistic by a majority of Southern people. ; I sincerely trust that the position t2ken by you in the Ney York Herald Tribune forum is the official position of the F.B., and not the position implied by the activities . of your representétives who heve questiored our neighbors repr rding visits of Necroes to the Schools woud you clear this matter up for me?
