Show The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand Page 6 The Utah Independent November 24, 1977 REPRINTED FROM THE HERALD OF FREEDOM The National Caucus of Labor Committees, also known as the U.S. Labor Party, has misled some conservative individuals and organizations "into cooperating with it. The misrepresentation was accomplished by carefully planned programs of attacks onthe Communist Party, USA; Nelson Rockefeller and other targets of conservatives. The U.S. Labor Party, however, is definitely Communist, radical and violently extremist. The late Dr. Bella V. Dodd, who became one of after she left the Americas top Communist Party (she had been a member of the C.P.s top governing body the National Committee), revealed that she had personally sat in on conferences where the groundwork was laid by the Communist Party to set up supposedly rival organizations, supposedly to promote secret Communist and organizations Party members as conservatives with conservative anti-Communi- sts anti-Commun- ist backgrounds. In Italy, France and Germany, the Communist parties are promoting Eurocommunism with a image while, at the same time, terrorist groups, also Communist, are engaged in kidnapping, robbery and murder. Thus an openly violence-pron- e organization, known as Communist, gives the official party the image of being moderate. The 1974 Annual Report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation states: The National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC), a violence-oriente- d organization which has described itself as an of revolutionary organization socialists,' originated as the Students for a Democratic Society Labor Committee, and is continuing its efforts to become the dominant left group in the United States. It now has chapters in more than 40 cities in this country and affiliated chapters in Italy, Sweden, France, West Germany and Canada. While the efforts of the organization to weaken other Communist Trotskyite and Socialist groups through physical attacks on their members at gatherings have all but failed, the impact of these attacks has bolstered its contention that it is necessary to use violence to achieve Socialism. The U.S. Labor Party, as it is principally known, claims only 1,000 members, but as with other Communist organizations, this is but the tip of the iceberg. The party has millions of dollars available, has seemingly unlimited access to information (much of which originates from official sources with whom it has contact), and even publishes its own newspaper. When one of the members of the U.S. Labor Party (National Caucus of Labor Committees) was arrested in the Bronx (N.Y.), it turned out that he was the son of Richard Sncider, who was personally selected by Henry Kissinger as U.S. Ambassador to South Korea. Ambassador Sncider was 'born in New York in June of 1922 and educated at Brown and Columbia Universities. Our research disclosed that in 1946 he was recruited for the staff of the secretive Council on Foreign Relations and served his internship there as a junior political analyst, becoming thoroughly indoctrinated in the world government politics of the C.F.R. In 1948 he went into the State Department as a foreign affairs specialist, and in 1951 was assigned to the sensitive Bureau of Intelligence and Research. According to informed sources, he hud at the time already been recruited as a covert democratic-sociali- st anti-Commun- ist member of the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1969, at the request of Henry Kissinger, Sneider was given a post as special assistant on the staff of the National Security Council. A long standing firm policy had been that security officers would refuse a top secret security clearance to any official who has a Communist in his family. The following facts were known to Kissinger when he made his recommendation of Sneider as Ambassador. Richard Sneiders son, Daniel Charles, was arrested by the New York City police in January of 1974 in Apartment 4A at 9 Cabrini Blvd. in the Bronx, N.Y. This was the apartment of Alice Weitzman, and police sources reported that Miss Weitzman was being held a prisoner in her own apartment by a Communist group called the National Caucus of Labor Committees. Among those arrested with Comrade Sneider were Mary Fletcher, daughter of an Episcopal priest in Connecticut; Khushro Gandi, son of a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; the son of of the Ford Wilson M. Lowry, Foundation; and the daughter of Dr. Charles DeCarlo, president of Sarah Lawrence College. Those arrested were charged with unlawful imprisonment of Miss Weitzman, herself a member of the revolutionary Marxist group. Earlier this year the staff of Congressman Larry McDonald of Georgia prepared a study, after thorough research, on the National Caucus of Labor Committees and the U.S. Labor Party, which he presented to his colleagues. He told the members of the House of Representatives that a violent extremist splinter group called vice-preside- left-wi- the National nt ng Caucus of Labor NCLC also known as the U.S. Labor Party USLP has been able by some shrewd maneuvering recently to gain new forums for dissemination of its bizarre revolutionary views. Part of Rep. McDonald's study follows. Members of the NCLC U.S. Labor Party revolutionary sect have been prowling Capitol Hill corridors for some 4 years haranguing legislative staff members, collecting, information and handing out their propaganda. Meanwhile the organizations leaders, with backgrounds of membership in the Moscow-Lenini- st groups, have been directing political and economic intelligence-gatherin- g programs in the United States and among the NCLCUSLPs foreign groups which are useless to the purposes of the group, but which could be of use to foreign Communist governments, such as the East Germans, with whom the NCLC USLP has developed contact. Recently the NCLC USLP has developed a new forum for airing its bizarre revolutionary beliefs by having its cadre testify before congressional committees both openly as NCLC or USLP representatives, or deviously as the spokesmen for NCLCs various fronts. It has also been documented that the NCLCs courting of certain conservatives has in part been successful cither through ignorance of the nature of the NCLC USLP, or other motives. The National Caucus of Labor Committees is a Socialist revolutionary organization. It is headquartered at 231 W. 29th St., New and claims York, N.Y. 10001 some 50 chapters and contacts scattered throughout the United States, although more than half of the organizations membership is in the Committees self-admitt- ed (212-563-860- 0); greater New York area. NCLC also has small chapters in several Latin American and European countries. NCLC organizers have repeatedly and publicly stated that the organization believes an armed revolution is necessary to overthrow completely Americas political, economic, and social systems. The time for the onset of the revolution has been variously stated as 2 to 20 years. Although NCLC states it is a Communist and Socialist revolutionary organization, ideologically it varies from the bizarre to the ludicrous and in practice reflects the violent and unstable eccentricities of its founder and leader Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche (Lyn Marcus), who wrote in one pamphlet, Centrism as a Social Phenomenon: . . .the true determining factors in the life of a political organization are not program, principles and the material conditions of the class struggle which they reflect, but rather organizational routinism, bureaucratism and ultimately, the per- sonal qualities of the leader. Since LaRouche, the U.S. Labor Party's 1976 Presidential candidate, feels the personal qualities of the leader are most important when analyzing a political group, it is appropriate to consider his own background. Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche, 54, was born in Rochester, N.H. in 1922. He attended but did not graduate from Northeastern University, and dur- ing World War II was a conscientious objector to the draft. He has said in interviews that while interned in a CO svork camp during this period, he was converted from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant to that of Karl Marx by members of the Communist Party who were also interned as COs. A second conversion, probably shortly after Hitlers armies invaded Soviet Russia, resulted in LaRouches joining the U.S. Army in which he served as a medical corpsman in India and Burma. 5 1 r t ! ( 5 1 j i j 1 i I i 1 , ( In 1948, perhaps once again converted politically, LaRouche joined the Trotskyist Communist Socialist Workers Party SWP the U. S. section of the Fourth International, and adopted the party name Lyn Marcus. LaRouche Marcus left the Socialist Workers Party in 1957. He remained in Trotskyist Communist circles, however, and in 1963 became a close associate of Tim Wohlforths Workers League when it split away from the SWP. It is noted that the Workers League is the U.S. section of another international T rotskyist Communist movement headed by Gerry Healy of Great Britain; and that Healy expelled Wohlforth from the leadership of the Workers League in 1974, and that Wohlforth has since abjectly rejoined the SWP. According to an analysis by another Trotskyist faction, the Sparticist League, LaRouche Marcus existed for a time in a symbiotic relationship with Tim Wohlforth as the latters accepted theorist on Marxist economics. In a long article on the NCLC in January 1974, the New York Times described LaRouche s activities in the early 1960s in these terms: (He) worked as a management consultant, systems designer and computer programmer, first with his father, and then on his own. Mr. Marcus was married to a psychiatrist and has since been divorced; they have a 17 year old son. He left the j , . |
