Central Research Matter! -

Communist propaganda appears in many guises. I is transmitted�uonghout the world in many ways. Perhaps the most insidious method usedtor its transmittal involves the use oi dupes.

Eleanor Roosevelt, in her syndicated newspaper column Ihich is 15read by millions, has been telling h.-r readers oi her travels in the Soviet�Union. 01 Beptember 13, 1957, eIu- related the details of her visit to thecity oi Zagorsk. iihe described this "holy city, " � she called it, andmentioned the "shrine, " the "monastery, " and the "two churches" there.�She told oi the "continuous" religious service carried on there and madereference to the "unbelievably beautliul voices" of the "older women"chanting the service. ~ . -

. In 1927, Joseph Balin declared: "...'l�he Party cannot be aetltral...toward thereactionary clergy who poison the minds oi the toiling masses. lavewe suppressed the reactionary clergy? Yes, mare. The isthat it has not been completely liquidated. . . ." 7

h 1955, Nikita S. Khrushchev stated: "We remain atheists. We will doall we can to liberate a certain portion oi the people.!rom the charm oi the religiousopium that still exists. .. ." -

Many will probably defend lire. Roosevelt's picture oi a "holy city" inthe Soviet Union byfeaplaining that things have changed since 8a1in's death. I so,they have only to read the latest Soviet publications which, recently, have beenlocueing attention on religious influences in that country. Typical of the commentsfound on this subject in various articles and editorials in the Soviet press are thefollowing: . -

". . . it is necessary tor antireligioue propaganda to stress the factthat all religion is umvzientitic. . . . "

"h the ltru|,gle against religious survivals in the consciotnness oi a

|; �certain segment oi the Soviet people it is necessary to make use not only ot lectures

but oi all terms oi political in�uence oi the masses. . ."

I "The victory oi !.Q¢.!_lL1_15m decisively undermined the social roots cl -

,l1-eligion in our country" . ." '_itle 9[_t§_e§Qf_l_gtTI-'r_g!!_l_, 2L_4£§_7_, 19.13-15- . . ¢

city" in the Soviet Union illustrates two important points: �! I'or-sip "dipttaries"arstill being given "guided" tours in the bviet Union designed to hoodwink them htoPraising the Soviet system; �! Prominent Americans whose highly _ __

Washington Daily News of April 16, 1953. Mr. Forrester stated "Mrs. Rooseveltsays that Congressman Francis E. Waiter is narrow and pregudiced because hehas dared� to suggest that the Treasury Department revoke the tax exemption ofthe Fund for the Republic; also, Mrs. Roosevelt hopes that our Nation will beante to go on enjoying the benefits that come irom educational iounciationsperforming the kind of work that the Fund for the Republic has been doing.Mr. Speaker, sometimes it seems when a Congressman lifts his voice indefense of the taxpayers, or in defense of constitutional government, or speaksout against unrestricted immigration which has permitted hundreds of COmmtmJ.Bt6

to come into this country, not for the purpose of preserving our country but todestroy it, that Congressman is immediately condemned as being narrow andprejudiced. &#39;i He went on to state "It is noted, Mr. Speaker, that nowhere does

Hrs. Roosevelt attempt to answer charges made by Congressman halter againstthe Fun-:i for the Republic, but expresses her hope that we will be able to go onenjoying the benefits that come from educational foundations able to perform thekino of work that the Fund for the Republic has been doing. On March 30, 1958,Congressman Walter released 1 statement laying down it bill of particularsagainst the Fund for the Republic. " Mr. Forrester included excerpts from thl�statement which contained the toliowingz "The fund has also financed attacks, �rnstipporte� by competent evidence, upon the loyalty, integrity, intelligence, P�d mental stability of all confidential informants of the Federal Eu:-can of 92

i I am appalled that a pub-", licaiion of this kind, attack-

Does the Legionreally be-lieve we are in danger ofbecoming communists inthis country? II it does, ithas Jar less Iaith in ourpeople than many oi thepeople and organizationswhom :i_t- attacks.

The American Legion has no quarrel with Mrs. Roosevelt, It has the

�The Legion hes, however, often disagreed with Hrs. Roosevelt&#39;s obvious willingnessto defend the Soviet Unio,

a factual basis rather than voice opinions based upon social pleasure Junkets

This is no tine to be lulled into a false sense of aecurity, There la no

innuendo or distortion in exposures made by the Legion in ita publications,

Bach iaaue of "The Firirg Line" is fully documented and checked

carefully by a capable etaff of legal experts, prior to publication, Hrs,

Roosevelt may deelre to cheek the record an to ascertain hm mall?� law suite

have been filed as a result of Legion exposure,

Although the healthy glare of the well focused spotlight often aenda

the guilty to cover, there la no real baele for martyrdom if sound facts

here been used, The Legion has never attacked religion as such, and never

could, Its "Back to God" movement is in etrong support of all religions

and its program encourage religion in every aspect, Ito ranks are made

up of men of all faiths and creede who have faced the tragedy of the battle

Mr. J. Edgar HooverFederal Bureau of investigationWashington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Hoover:

Recently, du"ing a discussion with a group offriends we came into an 3.I&#39;gvm6nt concerning Mrs, _Eleano_r

O_�Qgga_ggl_t{s affiliations with a youth organizat.l&#39;5i&#39;i that was provedto m a communist front.

- I was taught in senior social studies this year thatshe, in patronizing it, was unaware that it was a communist front.

Some believed that she knowingly lhad her name oncommunist registers, a member of the communist party. Theysaid that the reason this fact is not out in the open is that hersupporters would instantly suppress it. "Y

&#39; Not knowing &#39;-where to find information on this subject,if any, I decided to write to you for he1p.&#39; Would you please helpme with a fact or two concerning our problem?

Your book, A/tasters of Deceit, was worth everyminute I spent reading it. _

Thank you for your time.

q address unknown, sent a letter dated 3-8-61,postmarked at 1-or eree; Florida to the Bureau and enclosed asealed stamped envelope addressed to President Kennedy. She 7�-

. requests the Director to pet�-&#39;ona1�ty see that the President getsthe letter. In her letter to the Ft?-Iwulleges that Hrs. QleanorRoosevelt is the "Commander-in-Chief o nmunism in the U.S%�. Ind

It has been deter~~ned that the envelope to the Presidents tained an unsigned letter to him in which the writer obviously* quotes fro"-I the Diblr. alleges 1-1rs.&#39;.l_te_os_eve1t is the head ofmmunism in this country and urges that she be investuatei because

From the contents of the letter to the Bureau and theletter to the President thevv appears to be some doubt as to &#39;the mental stabitity of the writer. The letter to the Bureaucannot be acknowledged due F" the lack of an address. It isnot believed that we should take any action in forwarding theenclosed letter to the Hhitr House since it appears quite -Possible to be the work of a mental case. jf �_

You will recall that by lr-tier dntedé,-lg 5-61, Congressman Doyle madereference to an alleged statement by Mrs. Eieano oosevelt that "We are almosttinished with the McCarthy era, but I thinltihat iieai-&#39;df&#39;possible infiltration bycommunism is prevalent. Personally, I&#39;ve never had such a fear." The Congressmaninquired "What about it? l.nIorm me fully, please. "

It

Bureau files reflect that &#39;.=.&#39;c have �ind limited but cordial relations with&#39;.�ongressm:&#39;.n Doyle. On a Baunigardm :- to Sullivan memorandum dated 6-20-61 - attached!, it was recommended and aw.-oved that Com,-ressman Doyle be contactedby a representative of my uitice, the 1: "er be 0i&#39;.&#39;:11}&#39; zuhnowledged and the Director&#39;sviews on the menace of communism an.� communist infiltration be explained to himand that he be furnished pertinent C&#39;lI�1&#39;l"ll reprints concerning communism.

On the m0:&#39;|.ing of 6-23-Ci, SA lI:.nning contacted Congressman Doyle.The Coneressiiian was very cordial :n;."i stated that he is a great admirer oi the &#39;Director and the Bureau. ire stated he is partic ilariy interested in communisminasmuch as he is a memb rr of the House Committee on Un-American Activities.lie said that while he is a great admirer of Mrs. Roosevelt, he did not agree with theabove statement. I-Ianning briefed the K nngressman along the lines mentioned int.he&#39;at&#39;tached memorandum and the Congressman was most appreciative. He said he hasalready read the Director-&#39;s book, "Mam.-rs of Deceit, " bit�. intends to study it further.

&#39;~

&#39; The Congressman also : &#39;ated that he_ represents part oi the Los AngelesDistrict and there are about six or eight incorporated cities in his district.

By letter dated 6-15-61 Congressman Doyle Democrat -,§*Ca1ifornia! makes reference to :n alleged statement by Hrs. Eleanor

"Roosevelt that "Le are almost finished with the McCarthy era, butI think that fear of possible infiltration by communism is prevalent.Personally, I&#39;ve never had such a fear." The Congressman inquired"Uhat about it? Inform me fully, please."

Bufiles rezeal that av have had limited but cordial rela-

From the C»ngressma"&#39;s letter it cannot be determined ifhe agrees or diS2QFu S with t�. statenents of Mrs. Roosevelt. TheDirector&#39;s book, "Tssters of J ceit," and his numerous statementsconcerning the dan� vs of con. Aism and communist infiltration arewell known to the g-neral public and should be known to the Congress-

_man. It is felt trrt this nutter can be best handled through afpersonal contact at nhich tim: the Congressman may be referred to!Part 5 of "Masters uf Deceit" entitled "The Communist Tro&#39;an Horselin Action" which in detail dos-ribes the menace of communism and" he efforts of the Party to infiltrate legitimate organizations in

Dear Sirs:I I

I A recent spraker in our community said Eleanor I 1&#39;Roosevelt belonged to mam organizations that were communism: I�inspired. Can you supply me with any veri�cation of this? I also ;would like to know about tho man who made this claim. His name 92is D0n1fAnder.*,-1 -n, of Temu-.-esee - a form magazine president,speaker and hook writer. Can you tell me anything about him? ,- � _ _

I - His many remarks were of inference rather than facts, which leadme to think ha� may be more subversive than patriotic.

Enclosed is my sell addressed envelope. Pleasesend me whatever you are permitted to. _ -

Very truly yours,
