Sympathy for the terrorist Blade Panther Party is consistent August 24, 1971: The Ford Foundation . . . has never supported the Black Pan- thers nor any other organization that advocates or uses violence to achieve its ends. CORRECTION: The author of those remarks is Robert E. Tolies, a Ford Foundation official and spokesman. And Mr. Tolies is not telling the truth. For example, in December of 1970 it became public knowledge that the Ford Foundation had issued a grant of $13,130 to finance an autobiography of Black Panther leader Huey Newton, still b itingt in 1968. The sociology professor who will collaborate with Newton on the book is, as Human Events has pointed out, very sympathetic to the Panthers.

The Foundation has been widely criticized for granting $475,000 in recent years to the Congress of Racial Equality. Remember that C.0.R.E.s leaders have repeatedly and publicly advocate! the use of violence to achieve its goals. And in 1966 before the Ford grants were made to C.O.R.E. it revealed its loyalty to the Communist conspiracy by inviting Communist Party Organizer Jesse Gray to be the featured speaker at its national convention. Black revolutionaries in New York City have especially been favored with Ford Foundation money. In May 1968, the boys at Ford gave $lo0,000 to an outfit controlled by Reverend Milton Galmison, who has been associated with a number of Com- munist Front organizations, and from which order had to be who was a keynot speaker at the founding meeting of the W.E.B.' restored.

In February of 1968, a play by Leroi Jones, convicted of assault in the Newark riots, was presented at I.S. 201. It contained the following lines: Who murdered the black man? Whitey. Whitey. Who should we lynch: Whitey, Whitey.' Two weeks later the Ford Foundation furnished I.S. 201 an additional $26,000. . .
