The same thing is true of two of the six individual guthorities cited by the High Court—Theodore Brameld and E. Franklin Frazier—who between them have been members of or identified with 28 organizations declared to be Communist, Communist front or Communist dominated. Another of the ax individual authorities cited by the Supreme Couri—K. B. Clark—was, at the time of the argumens before the Court, on the payroll of the NAACP as a so-called “social-science These records of individual officials and mem- bers of the NAACP are not the only source of proof of the subversive influences on and in that organization. E.lizaheth Dilling reported in her honk, “The — oo Ce Red Network,” * chat, during the seven years from 1923 to 1930, the NAACP received some $43,000 from the radical Garland Fund among whose di- rectors were Communists William Z. Foster and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. She also disclosed that the official report of the Fourth National Conven- tion of the Communist Party of the United States held in 1925 stated that “the Party had penetrated the NAACP.” Official records show that the NAACP has con- sistently affiliated itself with Communist and left- wing movements. It was a member of the American Youth for a Free Worid which was organized in 1942 and, in 1948, was described by the California Un-Ameri- ean Activities Committee as “heavily infiltrated and effectively dominated by the Communist Party.” The House Un-American Activities Com- mittee in its 1951 Guide w Subversive Organiza- tions and Publications described the AYFW as “a Communist clearing house.” In 1945, the NAACP sent in Branch Depart- meni Director, Gloster Current, w Londoo ms ao official delegate representing the Amociation at the founding of the World Federation of Democratic {8] Youth. This Federation was cited by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1948 as “part of the Communist International ‘solar syr tern.’” A teport made at a meeting of the Communist Party of the United States on July 16, 1946, showed that the NAACP was one of a group of left-wing organizations invited by the National Committee of the Communist Party to a meeting held in Chicago to form a “third parry.” That re- port, as detailed on pages 150-153 of the 1947 Re- port of the House Un-American Activities Com- mittee, lists the NAACP as an active participant in the conference at which the Progressive Citizens of America was formed. And earlier this month, according to the United Press, the NAACP picketed a hearing on Com- stad in Mhicees by Gen munis propaganda conducted in Wwucago Wy othe ator Eastland for the Senate Interna! Security Subcommittee. A pamphlet outlining the Program of the Com- munist Party of the United States, published in September 1954 by New Century Publishers of New York City, made specific reference on Page 22 to a link between the Communis: Party and the NAACP. It stated: “We call upon wage workers, working farmers, the Negro people, small business and professional people, upon the women and the youth, to join hands in a common fight . . . for the democratic demands of the Nationa) Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People.” Former Negro Communist Foster Williams, Jr., testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee about this matter on June 17, 1954, in Seattie, Wash. He said: , “The Communist Party very mneakily manipu- lates the negro people for their own purposes... The NAACP has had this trouble.” The racia) aime of the © iat Parry of the 2 Seu Caen Gee Se eS Sees Set OS United States and those of the NAACP are . vir tually identical. The Communist ported in the May 26, 1928, iasce of the Daily Worker, calls for: “Full racial equality. “Abolition of all laws which result in wo\ tion of negroes. [8}
