Show June 25, 1970 THE UTAH INDEPENDENT COMMUNIST CAMPUS GROUPS COMMUNIST PARTY This is evident in a pamphlet, Black Power and Liberation A Communist View, published by the party in December 1967. In it, Claude Lightfoot, chairman of the party's National Negro Commission, wrote that the partys opposition to guerrilla warfare by Negroes in the United States is not based on the rejection of violence. On the contrary, he emphasized that it is a matter of timing. In other words, in line with the historical Communist approach to rebellion, it is wrong to rebel' unless one can be assured the time is right, and at this time the party judges the time to be inappropriate. During 1968 we continued to see the formation of new black extremist organizations, some of which advocate outright anarchy, insurrection, rebellion, and overthrow of the U.S. Government and openly advocate black power. The emergence of a militant black power concept in the civil rights movement, particularly on the part of extremist groups, has placed the Communist Party U.S.A. m a quandary. There is a strong k members power current among the lower echelon of the party. pro-blac- rank-and-fi- le SPEAKING APPEARANCES ON COLLEGE COM PUSES the Communist Party Also, during the academic year 1967-6-8, UJS.A. continued its program of having party leaders appear on college as such campuses speakers,! appearances having been made during that school year. This is a small decrease when compared with appearances during previous years. As I pointed out earlier, this is in line with the party's relinquishment of some of its activity on the campuses to the New Left in order to concentrate on industry. I submit a list of names of these leaders, the dates of their appearances and where they appeared. Mr. Roonet. Without objection, we shall insert the list at this point in the record. (The list follows:) NRG Note At this point, Mr Hoover submitted a list of known leaders of the Communist Party who appeared on campuses during the period of Sept. 27, 1967 to June 1, 1968. Those named were Claude Mack Lightfoot, Herbert Aptheker. Milford Sutherland, Philip Bart, Donald Lee Hamerquist. Dorothy llealev, llettina Aptheker Kurzweil, Yictor PCrlo, Louis Diskin, Arnold Johnson, James West. Ted Pearson, and Gus Hall. STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) under the leadership of former National Chairmen Stokely Carmichael and n revoluH. Hap Brown, has developed into a full-blow- all-Neg- Word in Your Ear ro tionary organization. in the organization is James One dominant figure at this Forman. At the national conference held in Atlanta, Ga,, in early June 1968, Forman was responsible for a complete reorganization ofSNCC patterned after the structure of another militant black nationalist organization, the Black Panther Party. SNCC endeavored to effect a close working alliance with the Black Panther Party; however, due to the extreme militancy of the Black Panther Party, leaders of n.nc'C' severed relations with that organization in July 1968. James Forman has many contacts with representatives of foreign countries and has made a number of trips abroad. In April 1968, he traveled to Sweden as part of a group which met with individuals representing the North Vietnamese and the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam. Mr. Hoover. One of the most active black extremist, groups is the Black Panther Party. It originated in Oakland, Calif., in 1966 and now has extended its activities to numerous cities throughout the United States. Its members gained notoriety initially because of their practice of carrying rifles and pistols in plain view on the .streets of Oakland while on defense patrols to prevent alleged police brutality. On Campus Obscenity and Calls for Revolution by James B. Ilennessy Your Very Own Trojan Horse While most Conservatives have Cleaver ran as presidential candidate of the' Peace and Freedom Party and in this caD&city made a series of speeches on college campuses. These received widespread publicity because of their extreme obscenity and calls for revolutionary action by black people. their heads screwed on quite straight, there are a few who have to be classed either as dema- nuts. These characters The Black Panthers and the Black Student Union gogues or are the Another active Black Panther Party leader is George Mason Murray, minister of education. He is also a member of the Central Committee of the San Francisco State College Black Student Union. The latter organization has been deeply involved in the campus agitation which has plagued that college during the current school year. The political philosophy of the Black Panther Party is baaed in of Communist China. It advopart on the writings of Mao Instruccates that its members study the teachings of Mao tions have been given to members on the making and the uee of Molotov cocktaila Members have also been instructed in guerrilla warfare tactics in preparation for a showdown with established authority. It is repotted that in the near future scheduled training sessions in California will teach guerrilla warfare tactics to selected members from all parte of the United States. who proclaim that all our National troubles would disappear if we could just get rid of all the Communists. Bunk! Even the most agitated patriot must admit that although our American Dreams have taken on. some of the qualities of a nightmare, it is not all the fault of the Communists. It might even be our own fault. first-cla- ss well-meani- i Tse-tun- g Tse-tun- g. over-nig- ng ht WHO HELPS COMUNISTS? IMPACT OF NEW LEFT AND BLACK EXTREMIST STUDENT MOVEMENTS Mr. Hooves. While the phenomenon of revolutionary protest movements manifested by campus rebellions and riotous demonstrations throughout the worm, some of which I linve briefly described, reached a new peak during the past year, it has been building up for a decade. The wave of extremism, which has been marked by growing violence and lawlessness, has without a doubt had a harmful impact on this country in a number of ways. It has impaired the successful and speedy, prosecution of the Vietnam war effort ; jeopardized the struggle for civil rights and increased animosity between blacks and whites; severely disrupted the normal processes of our academic system ; and has served to advance Communist causes both national and interna- tional. At the same time, the New Left and black extremist student protest activity has contributed greatly to the development of a lawless and insurrectionary atmosphere which has encouraged widespread contempt for established authority and promoted criminal, violent behavior. Overall, it is apparent that these groups are clearly subversive forces which represent an ever increasing danger to our national fare and security. In this regara, we have developed information on a number of occasions whereby nonstudents appeared on campuses during periods of student agitation to participate in campus disorders. Information has also been developed indicating that extremist agitators have traveled from one campus to another exhorting students to protest the administration of their schools, and some students have participated in disorders on campuses other than their own.

If they did self-governme- co-oper- ate plan to encourage public and private extravagance in order to produce inflation, what prompted us to go along with that plan? If they really are behind all our civil disorders, what made the Americans who participated in those events so willing to riot? If they did lay the groundwork for the breakdown of our National virtue and morality, why were we so d ready to follow their leadership? The Communists never would have reached first base if we Americans had not been so ready (Continued on page 6) all-fire- Want Accurate Information on the Communist Revolution on Campuses?
