Re: Lou Gordon Television Show of
July 13, 1969, Detroit, Michigan,
Featuring Abbott Howard Hofiman,
James Freed and Gordon Hall

Mr. Freed's efforts or Communism or revolution
resulting from Mr. Hoffman's efforts.

"Hall: No, not really. I think, I am not so sure that Mr. -
Hoffman's bag would be Communism per se. I think
that something else again, but if we take the left

there has always been much wrong with a free society.

"Freed: Well of course, y I am quite well aware of that.
“Gordon: How did you about t at, did he call you?”
"Freed: _ Both Walt AReuther an ti-Defamation League
