Mise Holmes Miss Gandy. © Cc" L November 16 1965 Y~ Federal Bureau Of Investigation, p Washington, D.C. Gentlemen: I wish to report a co incident.which to me may have other implications. Over this past week end tne Los Angeles Times carried a short article stating that," Bettina Aptecker, who was a prime mover in the sSerkley uproar, has announced that she is a communist and has been one for a long time’ This is the same person who, when asked by a reporter during the Berkley trouble just last fall said," I am a Marxist, if I said that I was a communist, I could be jailed under the Smith act's This is the same girl who's Father is the head of the com- munist strategy organization in the east. Now just 2 days after this,admission of being a communist appeared in the Times, theCsu reme Court, hands down a decision which throws out practically all the penalties of being a communist. And Gus Hall said that he will run candidates for office on the communist party banner. It is my feeling that the communists have a plant in the |oreanszation of the Sujreme Court, who tells them of the pending decisions, and how it affects the "party". If so this is most dangerous, as he can plant information that the communists want planted, just a well as leaking information out. I present this as a citizen who is worried about just where all this sort of thing is leading us. 9 Yours truly, ORDED b e f DIC roa > 1465 ——— — oo —_—_—
