These examples dc not constitute the total penetration made by the CP into the NAALP (to obtain seme would necessitate lengthy file review) but merely serve to portray the emphasis that tne CP has placed on a successful infiltration of the NAACP, a a top level informant of the Chicago b7D Office, advised on 12/8/55 that during the National cP Conference held in New York City 12/3 through 5/55 and attended by CP delegations from 32 states a commission was established {to discuss preparations for what the CP terms the "March on Weshington."

Strong said that the CP must sustain the main demands of the supporters of the "March on Washington" and the CP should mobilize its forces up to and during the time set for the "March on Washington." National functionaries of the CF will make a series of trips into various CP districts to check on the mobiiization and every district board commission and department of the CP must place this mobilization on its agenda. The CP will attempt to find out which organizations are assisting the NAACP and the United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, a participating group in the "March on Washington" and influence these organizations ‘to send their omn delegates on a local scale. All trade-unions, the NAACP, other mass Negro organizations and some larger white groups will be considered as organizations of concentration by the CP.
