To whom it may concern:
Dear Sir:

This is an expression of my feeling of the trouble you
are having throughout the nation, in which you are placing the
blame on some leader of some group, making yourselves innocent
of this great transgression. But, the way I see it, you that
are sitting on the judgement seats and running the states are
to blame for these race riots and political disturbances.

When I look back on the dark pages of history, and see
how that men of your race have entered jails, taking out negroes,
beating them, hanging them, dragging them through the streets
behind automobiles, and shooting them down like dogs, and bury-
ing them deep in the marsh, under dams, while you that are
supposed to administer the law sit idly by and doing nothing
about it, then, it is you who are to blame, and not Mr. Car-
michael. But, to cover up for yourselves and the dirt that
you people have swept under the rug for years, you'll always
Get some Outstanding negro, who will stand up for his rights
and try to liberate his people; you will take this man and try
to impose punishment upon him. But, let me warn you, you will
not get away with this. You may be able to take a man, put
him in prison, and keep him locked up for years, but you can-
not stop the storms of God. They will come and destroy you
by the thousands and you will not be able to do anything about
it. Bear in mind, it is written: "As a man sowth, so shall
he also reap." So, you have sown conruption and you are going
to reap the same. There is no "maybe so" about it, no getting
around it. You're goings to reap what you sow.

I am a minister of Christ, not of men; therefore, I speak
freely the things that are right and are true. I don't believe
in violence, neither do I intend to get involved with the polit-
ical affairs of this life, but, know ye this thing, that you
have imposed slavery, hardships, suffering, and much afflictions
upon the so-called negro man for approximately two hundred years.
When you broke jail and took him out, and hung him, without
@iving him a trial, you were taking away his constitutional
rights; these great crimes have gone unpunished for approxi-=
mately two hundred years, and you blame Mr. Carmichael for
 

nN

sptember 9, 1966

rioting, for a riot in Georgia. Let me say unto you law-makers
enforcers of the law, and judges that are sitting on the judge~
ment seats, you have better examine yourselves and see now,
aren't you the blane.

My people have served your children, have nursed them, i
and cared for them, and I'm sure some black hand has cared for
you. They have even cooked your food and washed your clothing,
and you have even raped my women and caused them to bear chil-
dren for you. When the child is born, he comes here innocent,
but, because he is born in the dark race, even though a white
man's his father, he has to suffer the same way.

Wake up and stop being a fool, It is God that made Man,
and not Man, himself. We are made after the likeness of God,
therefore, regardless to the complexion or the color of the
skin, a man is still a man and that's all he is.

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve because she was the
mother of all living." Genesis 3:20

When you read this letter, I hope you will understand my
knowledge in the mystery of Christ which in other ages was not
nade known to the sons of men as it is now revealed to His
holy prophets and apostles by the Spirit.

Looking to hear from you soon.

I remain a contender for the

faith which was once delivered
unto the Saints,

Bishop z

Honorable Ivan Allen Jr,
Mayor Of Atlanta,Ga.

Dear Mayor Allen;

Congratulations on you handling of that C.R.
the other night.Think of the disturb»snce all this has caused
and the loss to the business people,the very back bone of
of our nation.While our police cuffed about,not allowed to
protect themselves.A,probably designated group lineer back
loot and and destroy the lifetime savings of the substantial
citizens of our country .Martin Luthre manages to get thes
riots started then steps in as a non violent,gets it sto-
ped,géts big donations and about the time things cool down
gets it started in sime other peaceful city.All this is a
state anarchy and should be stopped,before this develops into
a war that that might cause the communist to come in on the
front while we have the C.R's ame at our backs.This is just
my opinion that might nt be worth much,but,I think, the situ-
ation is dangerous.

I am just a well wisher and an admirer of your
courage.Very Respt.

The Honorable Mayor Allen Jr.
Mayor of the City of

Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia

My dear Mayor Allen:

After reading my newspaper the other night, about the
trouble there in Atlanta with the niggers, I want to tell
you what I think about these demonstrations in cities all
over the U.S.A. They should not receive a permit to march
in any city. If I were a Mayor of any city, I would never
give them a permit to march or have any demonstrations of
eny kind. The time to stop it is at the beginning. Don't
allow any marches at all. Also, I would like to suggest that
anyone caught being in, or having any part in a demonstration
of this kind, if such person is found to be on the welfare
roll, and receiving a welfare check, have the department to
cut all relief to this person forever afterwards. Why?
Beceuse it's just not right for a person to pay taxes to
support any person that demonstrates against anyone, or the
State Government; and that is actually what they are doing.

In these marches, there is one man that could stop all
marches and demonstrations in the future; if he would! That
man is the President of the United States. If he would go
on television one hour and state that they have to be stopped,
and now, or he will order troops to stop it. He could also
give all states the power to put a stop to it at any price.
But, he will not do that because he is now so obligated to
them and their Civil Rights Bill.

The main thing we need in 1968 is a complete change of
government heads in Washington. But, can we white people
stand all these troubles until then? At least it's now time
for the-white race to fight back in every way possible,

Just to let you know who I am, I am white, a former
resident of Fitzgerald, Georgia, and was born at Birmingham,

Alabama. I have written to Governor George Wallace of Alabama,
and received very nice answers to every letter I wrote him.

I am now retired, age 67, and I do visit my old home state of
Georgia every year. My wife is also from Georgia. I hope to
go down there in October or November. Perhaps I can stay on
the main highways and avoid having bricks and bottles thown
through my car windows. I hope it never happens, because I
judge a brick to be a deadly weapon; therefore, I'd have to
protect my wife and self against these tactics. I know the
police and all other officers are going to have to learn how,
and have the right to shoot, if attacked when making an arrest.
No person should have the right to interfere with an officer
when making an arrest. Any person, or group of people doing

so should be given punishment to the fullest extent of the law.
We white people know we are superior to the Negro race and lets
keep it that way.

Thanks for taking time to read my letter,

Yours truly,

Mayor Ivan Allen,
Atlanta,
Georgia,

Dear Sir:

This is not any condolence -~ you got what you had coming to you as mayor

of the city that was "too busy to hate", implying thereby that every city
that opposed the rioting burr-tops and their counterparts among the whites -
the beatniks and filthy trash really lower than the niggerS they hobnob
with, - were spewing hate on the uncivilized black and white trash,

You took a different stand when the niggers knocked you to your knees. you
learned at first hand just how brutal and uncivilized the burr-tops are.

Too bad Ralph McGill, that un-Ametican lout, was not on top of the car with

you - he should have been because that is where he belongs, with you =~ that

he too could have been knocked to his knees by niggers that he seems to love

so much = so much that it seems he yotld welcome the complete mongrelization

of this nation. Quite an American - he is! Quite an American you seemed to be
until the niggers let you know what they are really like, and gave you a taste of
what they have been doing in other parts of the country.

The nigger = no matter how educated he clains to be = if he belongs to “artin
Luther King's gang, or any of the other commnist-inspireé gangs = would revert
to savagery of the worst kind, and camabilism were he not held in tow by decent
Americans; and be assured the bleeding hearts for the burr-tops and those who
have claimed their city is "too busy to hate" do not belong in the category of
decent Americans. Those who encourage rioting and all of the filthy immoral
conduct of the nigger = raping, killing, looting, burning, etc. etc. = by playing
up to the nigger are not good Americans = they are condoming and in fact encour=-
aging the destruction of this country by the white and blaek trash that should
be in the front lines in Vietnam, and soon in Thailand, where our decent young
men are being killed, maimed and taken prisoner, while the trash is being
protected by the bleeding hearts and hypocrites until they probably have some
sense and patriotism knooked into their heads by being knocked to their knees

as you were,

The MauMaus in Africa are no more savage and uncivilized thah the rampaging
niggers and white trash in this country.

Yours truly, o)

The President of the United S tates
should promptly exercise his great powers in a n effort to persuade the IAM to
settle this strike within the r easonable
perimeter of the Emergency Board report which L.B.J . described as " the
framework for a just and prompt settle-,

Congress fo r immediate legislation designed to forbid any future strike in the

A STRIKE AGAINST THE PUBLIC

against five of the nation's mn.jor airlines to
the point where r estrictive l abor legislation
will become a m a tter of urgent national
policy.

The la test manifestation of the unlon 's
"Public- be- damned" attitude was the a n nouncement last night that IAM personnel
would be forbidden to ser vice a ny aircraft

ises. Congress has often ylelded to the
revolutionary tides in these circumstances.

But there are other reasons why radicalism
hhas replaced common sense and realism in
dealing with our problems, the most im-
portant of which is the fact that this racial
revolution Is given—as much as possible—

mouflaze trappings of ‘legitimacy; of
democracy; of doing what is right; of going
with the flow of history. This illusion has
been made almost perfect by three decades of
liberal indoctrination. i Ws ee

It is not unusual for revolutionary ideas
to sweep up so-called “liberals” or progres-
sives. Short-cuts to some vague all-equal
socialist paradise appeal to many people who
honestly do not believe in authoritarian
government. The shortest short-cut to this
“paradise” is a social revolution in this
country. So Martin Luther King save “we

 

can't wait.” I'reedom now! As he proiesses
“llohi-violence,” he shouts that “we will

make the white power structure say ‘yes’
when it wants to say “0,7”

Why wait, indeed. The Russian _revolu-
tionaries said freedom was their goal, too.
And maybe it was. ‘The oppressed worker
was the Russian Revolutionary cause Just as
the Negro is advanced as today’s vehicle of
total change. But Russia no longer is revo-
lutionary; radically reactionary is the phrase
for the Kremlin. What happened to those
dreams of freedom? What happened to the
worker?

The trouble is that revolutionists are all
too human, Once in power they want to stay
in power, The way to stay in power is to
establish a dictatorship. Nothing is there to
stop them because the wave of revolution

‘has destroyed the checks and balances, the
institutions and traditions that could have
barred the way to totalitarianism, The Rus-

- slan worker was just a pawn of power.

This nation has avoided such social revo-
lutions and as a result freedom has endured
on these shores. Some inequities prevail,
but the best system of justice yet devised—
together with freedoms no other nation en-
joys—provide eventual outlets for most of
our troubles. The American way of dealing
with problems as they arise has been one of
calm, lawful evolution—not the revolution
we now are seeing.

What good will it do the Negro if, in com-
pelling a revolutionary equality for him, the
wider freedoms of all Americans—black or
white—are lost? The Russian worker had a
revolution made in his name, too, but in the
end only a deeper slaver as_his reward.
It can happen here. It is happening here.

 

LEGISLATIVE SOLUTION TO THE
“TNCONSCIONABLE” AIRLINE
STRIEE
(Mr. DEVINE asked and was given

permission to address the House for 1

minute, to revise and extend his remarks,

and to include several editorials.)

Mr. DEVINE. Mr. Speaker, the words
“unconscionable strike" are headlined in
the editorials of the New York Times.
The Washington Daily News, and Sena-
tor Wayne Morse, of Oregon, Chairman
of the Presidential Emergency Board,
express public concern in the pending
controversy between the International
Association ‘of Machinists and United,
Trans World, National, Eastern, and
Northwest Airlines. Similar editorials
have also appeared in other newspapers
across the Nation including the Wash-
ington Evening Star, Washington Post,
and the Wall Street Journal.

This crippling and unnecessary strike
has again emphasized the sterility of the
provisions of. the Railway Labor Act as

 

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE

well as the efforts of emergency boards
appointed under this act to resolve labor
disputes in the transportation field.

To repeat what I said on July il, the
reports of the emergency boards have
never in my recollection been totally ac-
cepted by the parties to the dispute; in-
deed these reports, as in the present air-
line-IAM dispute, have served only as a
new basis to try to get substantially more
concessions irom management.

The President of the United States
should promptly exercise his great pow-
ers in an effort to persuade the IAM to
settle this strike within the reasonable
perimeter of the Emergency Board re-
port which L.B.WJ. described as “the
framework for a just and prompt setile-
ment.” The President should also ask
Congress for immediate legislation de-
signed to forbid any future strike in the
transportation industry under similar
circumstances as exist in the present
controversy which cause such 2 great in-
convenience to the public, including Viet-
nam veterans trying to get a few frantic
minutes’ leave at home.

I am today introducing a bill, H.R.
16189, identical to S. 3587, introduced by
Senator Frank Lavuscue, of Ohio, pro-
viding that whenever a labor dispute has
occurred in the vital transportation in-
dustry and after the Conciliation Service
and Mediation Board have exercised un-
successfully its power to bring about a
settlement, tLe President shall create a
Presidential Board that has the power to
make final decisions.

For the information of my colleagues
I am attaching copies of the editorials
from the New York Times, Washington
Post, Washington Evening Star, Wash-
ington Daily News, and the Wall Strect
Journal to be included as a part of my
remarks:

[From the Washington Daily News, July 9,
1966]
AIRLINE STROKE

By any standard, the strike of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists against five
major airlines is unfortunate. As usual, it
is the public that suffers most. On that
ground alone the strike ought to be ended—
and speedily.

The union wants a bigger share of the in-
dustry’s Tecent substantial prosperity. It
blames “short-sighted” management for the
strike and declares its dissatisfied members
“have a right to strike." .

The employers, bargaining together for the
first time, point out that they accepted—
while the union rejected—as the basis for
settlement the recent recommendations of a
Presidential Emergency Board. President
Johnson called the recommendations “the
framework for a Just and proper settlement,
which is in the notional interest." The com-
panies say they liave sweetened the pot "by
an additional substantial offer above the
Board's proposals" that would exceed the
estimated $76 million cost of the recom-
mendations.

These are the facts. What complicates
this—and very nearly every labor-manage-
ment relationship—are the intangible, the
human, the political considerations, One of
these is the union's announced determina-
tion to smash the Administration's 3.2 per
cont wace guidelines even tho the Presi-
dential Board's recommendations were in ex-
eess of that figure. They want to claim
credit for it themselves rather than having
the board do it for them.

Another factor is the union's internal po-

July 13, 1966

litical problem. The highly skilled me-
chanics, in a strong bargaining position he-
cause they are in short supply, object to
being grouped in the same unit with porters,
kitchen workers, ramp and store personnel.
They say the unskilled depress their wage
and working standards,

Asa result, IAM leaders, faced with a revolt
by militant mechanics and fearful of losing
them, apparently feel the neccssity for be-
ing more militant still.

But surely these political and intangible
considerations are not sufficient reason for
shutting down GO per cent of the domestic
trunk line industry, for depriving 150,000
daily passengers of air service at the start
of the vacation season and for disregarding
public opinion and the public interest.

Under Presidential prompting both sides
have agreed to resume negotiations. They
could do no less. We urge them to settle
thelr differences realistically and speedily.

 

[From the Washington Evening Star, July
11, 1966]
A Strike AGAINST THE PuBLIc

The International Association of Machin-
ists seems determined to press its strike
against five of the nation's major airlines to
the point where restrictive labor legislation
will become a matter of urgent national
policy. * :

The latest manifestation of the union's
“Public-be-damned" attitude was the an-
nouncement last night that IAM personnel
would be forbidden to service any aircraft
leased by the struck airlines to those still
operating. The leasing plan could, under
no stretch of the imagination, be considered
a strike-breaking move. The legitimate eco-
nomic pressure on the struck lines would

ave remained in full effect. The only re-
sult would have been to alleviate, in some
small degree, the crisis in the nation’s trans-
portation system, war effort and economic
life. Now, even that slender reed has been
snatched away.

Even before this latest ill-considered ac-
tion, the union put itself on shaky ground by
spurning every attempt by disinterested par-
tics to head off the strike. Every statutory
means of avoiding the crisis was passed up.
In addition, the union brushed aside the offer
of the National Mediation Board for bind-
ing arbitration. A presidentially appointed
emergency board headed by Senator Warne
Monse, probed the issues in dispute and came
up with a recommendation for wage increases
averaging 3.3 percent. The carriers accepted
the package; the union rejected it. Despite
the fact that the proposal exceeded the ad-
ministration’s economic guideposts, Presi-
dent Johnson hailed it as the basis for "a
just and prompt settlement.” The airlines’
final offer 4s even more liberal than the
proposals of the emergency board. But the
union walked out.

The union's main contention is that the
airlines are prosperous and that the workers
should share in that prosperity. 1t is true
that the airlines are prosperous. It is also
true that the union membership already
shares in that prosperity in the forra of high
wages and an ever-increasing number of jobs
available, But the suggestion that wage dis-
pute settlements should be based directly on
profits could be taken seriously only if ac-
companied by a@ proposal for a lower wage
package for the less prosperous of the carriers
and 2 decreased scale in the event profits
should slack off. The union has made no
such suggestion.

The threat of a strike and the strike itself
are legitimate weapons in collective bargain-
ing. But the thou,).\\ess, capricious use of
that weapon to crefntc voc in the nation's
economy can only increase the demand for
congressional action to curso abuses of union
power.

THE NORTHERN REBELS
A few years ago, when certain politicians iscovered they could attract Northern votes by
promisfng to end segregation in · the South, most r)eople thought that -civil rights problems were
confined to Dixie. Northern Liberals took up the banner of t1equality for allt1 in the South.
It was argued that State laws requiring segregation in certain areas of life were unconstitutional laws. Much was said about the thesis that laws which are "immoral" need not-and should
not-be obeyed. (In the flurry righteously to disobey immoral laws, whole mobs of people sat
down and blocked rush-hour intersections. Did they decide that traffic laws were immoral?)
The Northerners pontificated about the evils of the Southern "system. ti Demonstrations in
Southern cities were televised to Northern audiences, who shook their heads and wondered how
the people of Dixie could be so terrible.
And then it boomeranged. Today it is the North-where t1segregationt1 is not legally imposed;
where the "immoraltl laws do not exist-it is the North where trouble is taking place. The action
center is now in cities like Cleveland and Chicago and Los Angeles , and smaller cities as well.
There are "demonstrations"-a gentle word for what has happened in some places-everywhere.
The leaders of these incidents would like the public to believe that the outbursts are merely
the spontaneous reaction of downtrodden people ~ Yet, reports seep through the propagandar eports of outside agitators who never set eyes on the local t1downtrodden" people before. During
the Hough uprising in Cleveland, there was evidence that many of the rioters came from out of
town , a nd that they came specifically to create a disturbance.
The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to launch a probe into the question of whether a
pro-C astr o organization had anything to do with the Cleveland incidents. The House Committee
on Un-American Activities may hold hearings to discover the details of the "Revolutionary Armed
Movement" (RAM) which is said to hold "Black Powert1 workshops in various cities. By merest
coincidence, these workshops precede riots by a week or so. There is suspicion in some quarters that the RAM may be very much connected with Robert Williams, who broadcasts out of

unquestionably a measure that will eliminate freedom of choice

You IIIllSt know that they are asking for the IMPOSSIBLE,

Sir: This is to congratulate you most heartily for taking
a firm stand against the infamous West, agian, Stokely
Carmichael, The freedom that such as/are’ being allowed to
wreck our nation is beyond comprehension.

However, I am shocked that you favor "even a stronger
open housing bill" than it is in its present form, This is
unauestionably a measure that will eliminate freedom of choice
for all, even you. This also, will NOT stop riots such as
have just had, Neither integration, open housing, nor any of
the things this movement ostensibly pursues is the real goal
behind it all,

You must know that they are asking for the IMPOSSIBLE,
and they are all intelligent enough to know this, The real
goal is HEVOLUTION. This should be clear for all who have
eyes to see and ears to hear,

Hundreds of thousands of people, white people, live
in the same squalor that thousands of Negroes live in. But
it has never entered their minds that riots and destruction
of property was the way to obtain better living conditions$
After all, PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN ENVIRONMENT, These living
conditions did NOT come already equipped with filth, vermin
and squalor, PEOPLE MAKE SLUM,

You have made a courageous stand for which people across
the nation will admire and applaud you. Please do not now fall
into the "liberal" cliches, that after, they really DID have an
excuse for their anarchy! There is NO excuse for this conduct.

I know you are a busy man, but I beg of you to take time to
read the enclosed. It will be of help to you.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY REPORT REIATINO TO HOUJH RIOTS
Your Honor, Judge Thomas J. Parrino, Presiding Judge,
&gt; .
Criminal Branch, Common Pleas Court of Cuyahoga County:
As a preface to the attached report of the County Grand
Jury convened by you in special se~sion for dealing with the
rec·e nt Hough Area riots, this Jury would like to make sol"B general
.. . ·1'.
observation to you.
.'
These are reinforced by approximately six month~ of
reviewing the status or law and order among the people of this
County~
I
I
We assume that the people of Cuyahoga County are in the
main typical of people of the whole nation during this latter halt
.of the turbulent twentieth century.
-
It is our firm belief that what America
nseda
more
urgently than anything. else is a renewal of good citi~enship by
.-~
all of us.
-,l
Of equal concern by this Jury are the steady erosion
..
of ideals and principles of God and Country end their persistent
replacement by the deification of material idols and material
'principals.' We profoundly believe that a rieid adherence by
everyone to the established law and order ot this country should
instantly replace _the guerilla warfare practiced in the streets
and neighborhoods .
Whatever we in this country set out to echieve should be
accomplished within the ·framework of the laws fashioned torr t~
\
benefit and protection of every citizen and not by any means we think
can be employed or the time we fix for ourselves.

We believe there should be a re~toration -of the qualities
of good faith, of honesty, ' and a willingness to hear out the other
person or the other side without resort to viblence and disorder:, , whether 9 around a bargaining table with capital and labor., or .
I
grievances among people of -different background or ethnic origin.
I
We believe in an elevation of moral and ethical standards
I
and conduct, including those in high places in government and in
I
bueiness and in the professions - - n general going over of our·
entire pattern of national life and values.
What this country and this community need, in the opinion
at this Jury of laymen, themselves citizens and parents and in
business and professions, is not so much a blood bath but a good
cle&amp;nsing spiritual ba~h •

This Jury ~as called into special session and directed by
Presiding Judge Thomas J. Parrino of Common Pleas Criminal Court~
to inquire specifically into what now has become known as the
·-
"Hough Area situation."
Judge Parrino directive was in two parts:
ONE - To establish the immediate c-a use of the fire bombing
shooting, pillaging, general lawlessness and
disorder.
The Judge requested that this Jury learn whether the outbreak of
disorder in this · two mile square, ares, housing 60,000 negro paople,
was organized, and, if so, by whom.
'IWO
To establish as nearly as possible the be.sic circumstance under which 60,000 humnn beings were
living in this relatively restricted area and for
whom the life, limb and property of all were placed
in jeopardy by the disorders.
The Jury has mAde this appraisal within the time limits and
facilities available and herein rep9rts its general findings •

either the lawlessness or disorders.
They have been hindered rather than helped by this major

I
This Jury considers it regrettable and unfortunate for
the community's sake tha't the legal statutes . of Ohio and Cuyahoga ·
County are either so outmoded or inadequate in their scope that
these "responsible irresponsibles II cannot at this time be reached
I
by specific indictments for their infamous activities.
j_
By persistent additional investigative effort they may be
I
reached later on in this fashion.
.
.
(This Jl!l'Y later in this report urges new and ~ore
.
adequate laws in t~is res.pact.)
It is likewise observed by this Jury that it did not
have the nocessary special investigative resources which could be
and should be focused exclusively in tracking down the required
immediate and far reaching evid~nce for conclusive legal action
against specific individuals.
However, in making this observation; the Jury wisbos ·
,
eapecially and particularly to commend those established arms of
.
law enforcement which have worked so resource"f,a J.ly, effectitlely
·•
and energe,ically in this aggravated situation.
By this the Jury means, to be precise and specific, the
,, Clevl:3 land Police Department in all o~ its branches, from the
Chief to the newest Rookie, and to Ohio National Guard when invokod
by the Governor in this serious community emergency.
I
The Jury nevertheless must emphasize that with the
I
limitations imposed by the necessity of at all times guarding the
community, the established arms of law enforcement are not equipped
·either with the resources or the investigative facilities to make
r
such a total all out and ~xtendea inquiry under this situation
as is obviously called for.
This Jury, in oon1ideration of the basic and wide public
interes~, and exercising the latitude granted it under the laws
which empower the ct eation of such a body as ours, nonetheless

makes reference to individuals and organizations that in varying degrees
were contributors to the Hough Area lawlessness and disorder.
).
.
It further notes the presence of many of these same individuals and
organizations in another instance of lawlessness and disorder, that on
Superior Avenue, which bore many of the striking similarities to the Hough
Area disorders.
It notes the further significant fact that the Superior Avenue episode
preceded the Hough Avenue disorders by less than a month.
Some of the same people were observed in both places on several nights
of the disorders.
This Jury further believes , that, even though what already happened · is
both regrettable and tragic in every conceivable human aspect, 1 there is a
'
grave potentiality for repetition of these disorders, or others like them,
occurring elsewhere in this_comm~nity .
Different techniques might be employed;~ ut the resaj!ts would be equally
disastrous or even more so •
.
Therefore , this Jury believes i ts judgment should be made an i mportant
!
,·
part of t he formal record of what has happened and of whatever may happen i n the
r ather unpredict able future t owards which we all , a s citizens of thi s communi t y,
are mutual ly moving wherever we may l ive
··"'·
or ~hatever may be our place in life.
Finally ., before making specific r ef er ence to adult l eaders in t his
crises areas, and the events leading up to them , the Jury r espectfully calls
attention to the ·effective uses made of impressionable emotionally immature
and susceptible ·young minds by those who for one reason or another ha·ve set ·out
r
.
to accomplish the i r designs and objecti ves _in Eur ope , Asis , 9out h America and
el sewher e.

breaks sepatated by less than one month.
Nor, by the same token, is it happenstance, or even just singular
coincidence:
---..
1. -
That the overall pattern for firebombing and destruction to both
the Superior and Hough Areas was so highly selective;
2.
, ). -
That the targets were plainly agreed upon;
That certain places were indentified to be hit, and that certain
other places were similarly spared.
On both of these occasions, the Superior and Hough disorders, the presence
of teenagers previously referred to was observed by the police, by plaincl?thes
officers and underco ver agents who had been assigned for long periods to observe
•-~
,,,1
these youths,
With this background firmly established by the Jury's inquiry, and with
the notable help of County Prosecutor John T. Corrigan and his staff, particularly Asst. County Prosecutor John T. Patton , this Jury herewith makes ref~rence
I
to some of the principal and recurring personalities in the chain of events
I.
which pr€c8ded both the Superior and Hough situations:
THE JFK HOUSE
\
The JFK House , meaning Jama Fr eedom Kenyata House, is located at 8801
Superior Avenue,
The leaders are:
Lewis G. Robinson, and Beth Robinson, his wife , livi,ng at 1242 E. 89th
Street; Harlell Jones, 9716 Hough Avenue; Albert D. Ware-Bey, 11611 Castiewood
•
�1•5
Avenue, and Philip Morris,. 7806 Radell A: venue,
--
Le.wis Robin~on has been affiliated with the Freedom Fight~s of .9hi~,
~
the Medgar Evers Rifle Club (which he helped to found), The. JFK House, of
which he is the ultimate h~ad, The Deacons for Defense , and the Re , olutionary
Action Movement.
All of these Clubs, t o which Lewis Robinson belongs are black nationalist
clubs.
Testimony before this Jury discredited Lewis Robinson as a leader
concerned with generally altruistic interests in youth but rather points to him
as inciting these youths ~to focus their hatreds and as indoctrinating them with
his own vigorous philispphy of violence ,
He exerted a profound influence over the JFK youth and he still doe·s .
Harl ell Jones is affiliated with JFK House, the Medgar Evers Rifle Club,
the Re volutionary Action Movem€nt; he is vice-pr.esident of the Deacons for
Defense i n spite of his publi c di savowals, and had f r equently either presided
• .~
'· '
' 'fr.
over or sponsored meetings for black nationalists, and espous es the ultimate
I
I
revoluti onary ,purpos e for adjusting differences or obtaining desired ends .
Along with Lewis G. Robinson , Har lell J ones caus ed 2,000 pieces of
'
.
lit erature t o be pr int ed and circulated, ci~ing alleged ins t ances of "police
brutality", and on the eve of t he Hough r iots , circula ted the great est number
of these to yout hs of non-voting age under the pl ausible guide of urging thb
defeat of a levy at the polls.
Special movies of an undi sclosed and volunt ary int erview shown to the
Jury presneted Harlell Jones as an outri ght exponent of violence, a black
power apostle with a bitter hatred for all whites, a co-foµnder of the Rifle
Cl ub, and in commace of at least one Rifle Club.

Ware~Bey expressed no allegiance to this country, professed himself not .
to be bound by its laws, and in the opinion of the Jury,by both testimony and
his own conduct, was not one who could ,have other than destructive infuluence
upon youths either at the JFK House or elsewhere.
l
There was evidence placed before the Jury that Rifle Clubs wer&amp; formed,
that ammunition was purchased, and that a range was established and used, tha~ ;,
.
speeches ~ere made at JFK House advocating the need for Rifle Clubs, and that
instructions were given .in the use of Molotov cocktails, and how and when to
throw them to obtain rr.a.ximurn effect.
Further, irrefutable evidence was shown to the effect that Robinson
pledged reciprocal support to and with the Communist Party of Ohio •
• .~
t ·.
In addition, Robinson att~nded many meetings at whfch imported Communist
. speakers talked and was arrested at one of these.
It was established before the Jury that the leaders of the WEB DuBois
Club and the Communist Youth Party, with interchangeable officers and virtually
indentical concepts, arrived i n Cleveland only a few days before the Hough
Area disorders.
They took up residence at . 1844 East 81st Street 1 only n short distance

It is this Jury's opinion that the investigative
authorities have progressed sufficiently to justify the expectatio~ they will ul timately, if either urged or permitted to
follow beyond what they have thus far gathered be able to put
together all of the pieces to this pattern of lawlessness and
disorder.

Because of t ,_._ s Jury's strong judgment in this regard
it earnestly urges .i t-S successors to pursue the Superior and
Hdugh disoiders with the utmost vigor and determination!

· Nothing l ess ·that this should be permitted in the _pµb lic

In thi s section of its report to Judge Thoma~ J, Partfno
the Jury wishes to reiterate the fact that the ovetall majority

~ed, f rustrated,
beset with problems unimaginable. to those who do not endure them,
.had nothing whatever to do with the se disorders and destructions,

and the Jury , on the contrary,., e xpresses its wholesome admiration

In the course of its investigati on , the Grand Jury has

learned that poli ce a nd fi r e me n we re target s f or snipers a nd

Further, fire equipment was damaged, particularly hoses,
which were cut or attempted to be cut so as to render them useless·
in the protection of persons .and property.

SPECIAL GRAND JURY REPORT RELATING TO HOUGH RIOTS

Your Honor, aude Thomas J, Parrino, Presiding Judge, ¥ ;
Criminal Branch, Common Pleas Court of Cuyahoga County: ?
As a preface to the attached report of the County Grand
Jury convened by you in special session for dealing with the
recent Hough Area riots, this Jury would like to make some general
Boeenraeten to you. | PPS
These are reinforced by approximately six months of
reviewing the status of law and order among the people of this
County. ye
We assume that the people of Cuyahoga County are in the
main typical of people of the whole nation during this latter half
of the turbulent twentieth century.
It is our firm belief that what America needs more
urgently than anything. else is a renewal of good citizenship by

* tel
all of us.

of equal concern by this Jury are the steady erosion
of ideals and principles of God and Country and their persistent
replacement by the deification of material idols and material
‘principals.' We profoundly believe that a rigid adherence by
everyone to the established law and order of this country should
instantly replace the guerilla warfare practiced in the streets
and neighborhoods,

Whatever we in this country set out to achieve should be
accomplished within the framework of the laws fashioned for. the
benefit and protection of every citizen and not by any means we think ¢

can be employed or the time we fix for ourselves,

‘
2.

We believe there should be a restoration of the qualities
of good faith, of honesty, and a willingness to hear out the other
person or the other side without resort to violence and disorder,»
whether! around a bargaining table with capital and labor, or
grievances among people of-different background or ethnic origin.

We believe in an elevation of moral and ethical standards
and conduct, including those in high places in government and in
business and in the professions - - a general going over of our
entire pattern of national life and values.

What this country and this community need, in the opinion
of this Jury of laymen , themselves citizens and parents and in

business and professions, is not so much a blood bath but a good

cleansing spiritual bath.

}
alee

This Jury was called into special session and directed by

Presiding Judge Thomas J. Parrino of Common Pleas Criminal Court %

e

to inquire specifically into what now has become known as the .

"Hough Area situation."

Judge Parrino directive was in two parts:

ONE - To establish the immediate cause of the fire bombing
shooting, pillaging, general lawlessness and
disorder,

The Judge requested that this Jury learn whether the outbreak of

disorder in this two mile square area, housing 60,000 negro people,

was organized, and, if so, by whom.

TWO - To establish as nearly as possible the basic cir-.
cumstance under which 60,000 human beings were
living in this relatively restricted area and for
whom the life, limb and property of all were placed
in jeopardy by the disorders,

The Jury has made this appraisal within the time limits and

facilities available and herein reports its general findings.

- - ty
NUMBER | ONE

This Jury finds that the outbreak of lawlessness and

disorder was both organized, precipitated, and exploited by a

relatively small group of trained and disciplined professionals

at this business.

Se et re et

They were aided and abetted, wittingly or otherwise,

by misguided people of all ages and colors, many of whom are avowed

believers in violence and extremism, and some of whom also are either

members of or officers in the Communist party.

The majority of people in the Hough Area had no part in

either the lawlessness or disorders. | s

They have been hindered rather than helped by this major

tragedy.
This Jury considers it regrettable and unfortunate for
the community's sake that the legal statutes of Ohio and Cuyahoga
County are either so outmoded or inadequate in their scope that
these "responsible irresponsibles" cannot at this time be reached”
by specific indictments for their infamous activities.

By persistent additional investigative effort they may be
reached later on in this fashion.

(This Jury later in this report urges new and more
adequate laws in this respect.)

It is likewise observed by this Jury that it did not
have the necessary special investigative resources which could be
and should be focused exclusively in tracking down the required
immediate and far reaching evidence for conclusive legal action
against specific individuals.

However, in making this observation, the Jury wishes
especially and particularly to command those established arms of
law enforcement which have worked so resourcefiilly, effectively
. and energetically in this aggravated situation.

By this the Jury means, to be precise and specific, the |
,Clevéland Police Department in all of its branches, from the

Chief to the newest Rookie, and to Ohio National Guard when dnvolod
by the Governor in this serious community emergency.

The Jury nevertheless must emphasize that with the
limitations imposed by the necessity of at all times guarding the
community, the established arms of law enforcement are not equipped
‘either with the resources or the investigative facilities to make
such a total ail out and extended inquiry under this ahwiaties
as is obviously called for.

This Jury, in corsideration of the basic and wide public
interest, and exercising the latitude granted it under the laws

which empower the creation of such a body as ours, nonetheless
 

Is3

‘' makes reference to individuals and organizations that in varying degrees
were contributors to the Hough Area lawlessness and disorder. *

_ It further notes the presence of many of these same individuals and
organizations in another instance of lawlessness and disorder, that on
Superior Avenue, which bore many of the striking similarities to the Hough
Area disorders. |

It notes the further significant fact that the Superior Avenue episode
preceded the Hough Avenue disorders by less than 4 month.

Some of the same people were observed in both places on several nights
of the disorders.

This Jury further believes, that, even though what already happened is
both regrettable and tragic in every conceivable human aspect, there is a
grave potentiality for sepetitien of these disorders, or others like them,
occurring elsewhere in tha ‘commun Gy. |

Different techniques might be employed;sbut the resukts would be equally
disastrous or even more so. ' |

Therefore , this Jury believes its judgment should be made an important
part of the formal record of what has happened and of whatever may happen in the
rather unpredictable future towards which we all, as citizens of this community,
are mutually moving wherever we may live or whatever may be our place in life.

‘» Finally, before making specific reference to adult leaders in this

crises areas, and the events leading up to them, the Jury respectfully calls
attention to the effective uses made of impressionable emotionally immature
and susceptible young minds by those who for one reason or another have set out
to accomplish their designs and objéctives in Europe, Asis, South America and 4,4.

a
elsewhere.
I=
It is no casual happenstance or coincidence that those throwing fire fe
bombs, or bricks, or bottles or pillaging or generally engaged g disorder
and lawlessness were in the main young people-obviously assigned, trained and
Heciouinea in the roles they were to play in the Sabtern of these dual out-
breaks sepatated by less than one month.

Nor, by the same token, is it happenstance, or even just singular |
coincidence: :

1. = That the overall pattern for firebombing and destruction to both
the Superior and Hough Areas was so highly selective;

2. - That the targets were plainly agreed upon;

.3e¢=) That certain places were indentified to be hit, and that certain
other places were similarly spared.

On both of these occasions, the Superior and Hough disorders, the presence
of teenagers previously referred to was observed by the police, by plainclothes
officers and undercover agents who had been assigned for long periods to observe
Vi.
these youths,

With this background firmly established by the Jury's inquiry, and with
the notable help of County Probecutor John T. Corrigan and his staff, particul-
arly Asst. County Prosecutor John T. Patton, this Jury herewith makes reference
to some of the principal and recurring personalities in the chain of events
which preceded both the Superior and Hough situations:

THE_JFK_ HOUSE

The JFK House, meaning Jamo Freedom Kenyata House, is located at 8801
Superior Avenue, The leaders are: 7
° Lewis G. Robinson, and Beth Robinson, his wife, living at l2k2 E. 89th

Street; Harlell Jones, 9716 Hough Avenue; Albert D. Ware-Bey, 11611 Castlewood *

 
I=5
- Avenue, and Philip Morris, 7806 Radell Avenue.

Lewis Robinson has been affiliated with the Freedom Fightags of Ohio,
the Medgar Evers Rifle Club (which he helped to found), The. JFK icdbe. OF
which he is the ultimate head, The Deacons for Defense, and the Revolutionary
- Action Noveitents

All of these Clubs, to which Lewis Robinson belongs are black nationalist
clubs.

Testimony before this Jury discredited Lewis Robinson as a leader
concerned with generally altruistic interests in youth but rather points to him
as inciting these youthssto focus their hatreds and as indoctrinating them with
his own vigorous philisophy of violence.

He exerted a profound influence over the JFK youth and he still does.

Harlell Jones is affiliated with JFK House, the Medgar Evers Rifle Club,
the Revolutionary Action Movement; he is vice-president of the Deacons for
Defense in spite of his public disavowals, opene oe frequently either presided
over or sponsored meetings for black uiidopaidets, and stpaubes the ultimate —
revolutionary purpose for adjusting differences or obtaining desired ends.

Along with Lewis G. Robinson, Harlell Jones caused 2,000 pieces of
literature to be printed and circulated, citing alleged instances of "police
brutality", and on the eve of the Hough riots, circulated the greatest number
of these to youths of non-voting age under the plausible guide of urging the
defeat of a levy at the sella,

Special movies of an undisclosed and voluntary interview shown to the ;
Jury presneted Harlell Jones as an outright exponent of violence, a black
power apostle with a bitter hatred for all whites, a co-foynder of the Rifle

Club, and in commace of at least one Rifle Club. &lt;
I=6

Albert D..Ware-Bey, belonged to the same Clubs as Harlell Jones. He
declined to testify before the Jury. Police agencies presented gecence: that
Ware, Robinson and Jones all purchased quantities of rifles, and all belonged
to the Rifle Clubs here and in other cities.

Ware-Bey expressed no allegiance to this country, professed himself not.
to be bound by its laws, and in the opinion of the Jury,by both testimony and
his own conduct, was not one who could have other than destructive infuluence
upon youths either at the JFK House or elsewhere.

There was evidence placed before the Jury that Rifle Clubs were formed,
that ammunition was purchased, and that a range was established and used, that:
speeches were made at JFK House advocating ihe need for Rifle Clubs, and that
instructions were given.in the use of Molotov cocktails, and how and when to
throw them to obtain maximum effect.

Further , irrefutable evidence was shown to the effect that Robinson

pledged reciprocal support to and with the Communist Party of Ohio.

= te!
In addition, Robinson attended many meetings at which imported Communist

speakers talked and was arrested at one of these.

It was established before the Jury that the leaders of the WEB DuBois
Club and the Communist Youth Party, with interchangeable officers and virtually
indentical concepts, arrived in Cleveland only a few days before the Hough
Area disorders, |

They took up residence at 18 East 81st Street, only a short distance

from the Central point of origin of the Hough Area troubles.

These men, who came from Chicago, New York and Brooklyn,

were Mike Bayer, otherwise known as Mike Davidow, Daniel Mack,

} They were seen constantly together. They made swift i
contact with the JFK House leadership, and wih Phil Bart, of
Middlehurst Road, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and his wife, Connie,
who, the evidence showed; are the leaders of the Communist’ party
throughout the Ohio Valley District including Cleveland.

With epecieis regard to the WEB DuBois Club, the evidence
further showed that Mike Bayer, Daniel Mack, Ron Lucas and Steve
Shreefter previously living and residing a large part of ehete
time outside of Cleveland, are currently making plans to move
their efforts fron the Hough Area over to the West Side: That
they are not employed, are now so far as the Jury knows without

any visible means of support but nevertheless are able to carry

on their advocacy and to maintain themselves with clothing, food

* om. tat

and shelter from some undetermined source. Finaliy, evidence was
presented that UJAMA is an organization dedicated to black power

and has begun its effort to establish itself in the Cleveland area,
Their philosophy is that black people should be governed by them-
selves in every respect and that anything pertaining to the rights

of negroes must be cleared through the central organization of

UJAMA which has flourished in New York, and has spread into other
places, and is embraced locally by Lewis Robinson and his Lieutenants
at JFK House. In attendance at one specific meeting at which

plans for UJAMA in Cleveland were discussed were Robinson, Jones

and Ware-Bey. Also in attendance at this meeting was Cornelius ‘
Freeman from Cleveland and Oserjiman Adefumi, and also known as |

Serge King, and Gizengaga Latunji, representing New York UJAMA,

it is this Jury's opinion that the investigative
authorities have progressed sufficiently to justify the expecta-
tion they will ultimately, if either urged or permitted to
follow beyond what they have thus far gathered be able to put ;
together all of the pieces to this pattern of lawlessness and
disorder,

Because of ths Jury's strong judgment in this regard
it earnestly urges its successors to pursue the Superior and
Hough disorders with the utmost vigor and determination.

Nothing less that this should be permitted in the public
In this section of its report to Judge Thomas J. Parrino

the Jury wishes to reiterate the fact that the overall majority

_ of the people living in the Hough area, disti@ssed, frustrated,

beset with problems unimaginable. to those who do not endure them,

had nothing whatever to do with these disorders and destructions,
* ¥ ¢

and the Jury, on the contrary, expresses its wholesome admiration
for their good citizenship and resttaint in these tense and
emotional times,

In the course of its investigation, the Grand Jury has
learned that police and firemen were targets for snipers and
individuals throwing rocks and bricks.

Further, fire equipment was damaged, particularly hoses,

which were cut or attempted to be cut so as to render them useless

_in the protection of persons and property.

These acts were a direct affront to lawful authority
and of necessity would lead to justifiable armed self-protection,
unfortunately resulting in occasional injury and death to the

innocent,

 
 

 

‘Le9

These senseless acts cannot be tolerated and the
perpetrators should be subjected to severe penalties.

The police and firemen on the other hand should be
ebanahaea for their efforts to maintain law and order in the face -
of great personal danger.

The general conduct of our police and fire departments,
we feel, command and receive the highest respect of our law abiding
citizens from all groups.

It is the recommendation of this Grand Jury that all

decent law-abiding citizens proclaim their support of law and

order and their support of policemen and firemen in carrying out
theic duties toward that end.

. ‘This, in bene will of necessity command a course of

conduct on the part of police and firemen and particularly of the
police, who have more intimate contact with the public, which will
be of the highest caliber of efficiency and decency and patience
and will thus co, ribute to a greater restoration of our American
ideal of equal treatment,

As earlier in this section of the Jury‘s report it was
indicated, the Jury now requests that the Cuyahoga County delega-
tion to the next session of the Ohio Assembly give serious cénsider-
ation to the following suggestions for new and more inciveive
jegiaiarios covering such situations as the Superior and Hough
Area disorders represent. €

The Jury suggestions therefore are --

(1) Inciting 66 riot. |

No person with the intent to cause a riot shall do.

any at or engage in any conduct which urges a riot,

or urges others to commit acts of force or violence,

er the burning or destroying of property, and at a time

and place and under circumstances which produce a clear

 
1-10

and present and immediate danger of acts of force or
violence or the burning or destroying of property.
Whoever violates this section shall be imprisoned not
less than one nor more than twenty years, *»
(2) Definition of Bite:

Any use of force or violence, disturbing the peace,
or any threat to use such force or violence, if aéeoupanted
by immediate power of execution involving two or more
persons carrying on such conduct and without authority of
law, is a riot.

(3) Enhanced Penalty for Arson or Attempted Arson during

a Riot.

An amendment to Revised Code section 2907,06 (this
section concerns itself with the attempt to burn or
set on fire or to do aly act preliminary thereto or the
burning of buildings):

“Upon the proclamation of thg Governor proclaiming
a. state of disaster or extreme emergency because of a
rict, whoever violates this section during such period
covered by said proclamation shall i fined not less
than $5,000.00 and imprisoned not less than five nor
more than twenty years or both."

(4) Assault against a_ fireman or policeman acting in
the course of his duty.

No person shall assault a fireman or policeman
while such fireman or policeman is acting in the course
of his duties; Whoever violates this section shall be
fined not more than $5,000.00 or imprisoned not less

than one no~ more than twenty years or both,

NUMBER TWO, ale I-11

In addressing itself to the second of Judge Parrino's
directives, namely, the conditions of life prevailing in the
Hough Area, this Jury finds: |

Poverty and frustration, crowded by organized agitators ,”
Berea as the uneasy backdrop for the Cleveland riots, :

Unfortunately, te te the overwhelming mass of innocent
and law-abiding citizens who pay the greatest penalty in any
cross-fire of violence,

The following inequities and practices contrbuted as
a feeding ground for disorder:

a. The density of population in the Hough Area,

b. Inadequate and sub-standard housing,

c. Charging of exorbitant rents. by absentee landlords,

d, Non-enforcement of the housing code,

e,. Woefully inadequate recreational facilities for
children whose uncertain homelife calls for this
kind of wholesome community outlet, and fot«the con-

. 8tructive guidance and counsel to offset their
regrettable environment,

f. Sub-standard educational facilities as a consequence
of long neglect, which, in substantial fairness,
have been greatly improved in recent years but
which still call for further effort on the part of
officials and community leaders,

g. Excessive food prices in most instances accompanied

all too frequently with foodstuffs found to be

r

~

inferior in freshness or quality.
h, The denial of equal economic opportunities,

i. Diminished incentives by repressed and neglected people.

i
38 The present system of paying women for having ae
children, frequently out of wedlock, or under a
relationship loosely described as "common-law" -
which enables the father to walk out of his "marital
arrangement" to escape his proper fenponbipivicicnss

(The current welfare system should be challenged in this

respect for its effect upon the very people who are supposed to
beneeit: Children brought into the world under such callous and
financially expedient circumstances are rarely seen by their
father, This system the Jury believes is anything but helpful
either to the mothers, or the fathers, or the children, et the
community. Surely, this Jury believes, those charged with social

and moral responsibility in this community are capabie of devising

a much more equitable and effective formula than the prevailing one, ) ‘

— k. Regardless of how the very large addition of negroes
formerly widely dispersed throughout the deep and
mid-South have migrated to the large focthern Bitteny
like Cleveland, the fact is that these men, women and

children are here,

(In many instances the mode of life they find in such
large cities as Cleveland differs substantially from that which
prevailed in the places whence they came, Frequently they find
themselves bewildered and unable quickly to adjust themselves to
the demands of their new surroundings and thus find themselves
‘frequently at cross purposes with the authorities and the older

residents of the areas in which they find themselves currently.)
ee ee

Impatience among the negro people for the improvement
of their citizenship is understandable but the opinion has been
expressed they may be attempting to exact too much too fast for
the community to bear within an arbitrarily fixed time limit,
The fact, nevertheless, is that too many human beings,
e

however they arrive in our midst, or whence they came, or why,

are living under such completely intolerable conditions in the

.Hough Area at the present time, that inevitably the consequences

must be eutility, frustration, bitterness, and exposure to the
abrasive forces advocating violence,

These faktora:make them prone to the almost immutable
by-products of such prevailing conditions; crime, delinquency,
looseliving, tragic deterioration of moral behavior, and the
brittle, bitter, hypar=dansitivity which emerges therefrom; and
in the aggragate these effects represent potential danger not
only to themselves but to the community as a whole,

There are no longer moats complacently situated in

which any citizen can live under modern conditions safely removed

st
| iad rt

from the turmoil and anxiety and bitterness of others, frrespec-
tive of skin color, or religious identification of political
inclinations or economic and social environment,

Whatever happens in the large cities of America, as in
the community of Greater Cleveland, eventually affects all
citizens in one way or another.
| Now, ali these complex social evils are used as
subtle and inflamatory provocations by resident and non-resident
organizers who exploit riots such as both the Superior and Hough
Area riots in Cleveland, y

Where possible, as earlier indicated, this Jury has

diligently sought to pinpoint the causes of these riots.

Dear Congressman Pool:

Enclosed is a copy of a great speech by Mr. J. Edgar Hoover, Director,
Federal Bureau of Investigation, made to the Masons October 19, 1965.
Your attention is invited to page 8 wherein Mr. Hoover states, "Standing
in the forefront of the communist campaign to confuse the minds, distort
the thinking and win the support of uur young people is the DuBois Clubs
of America - an illegitimate spawn conceived by the Communist Party and
nurtured by a trusted band of youthful adherents to the cause of world
Marxism."' Mr. Hoover further states that the civil rights organizations
that cross this land are being permeated by communists. I, for one,
believe that Mr. Hoover is 100% correct and that all too often our Attorney
General Nicholas Katzenbach is 100% wrong, when it comes to the hard
problem of identifying known communists.

Also enclosed is a news article by former Governor, Ross Barnett of
Mississippi, who states that the nation is now suffering from "planned,
organized, red infiltrated violence, under the guise of civil disobedience. "
You will note he further identifies Stokeley Carmichael, head of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, as one of the principal troublemakers.
ty
A short time ago, Stokeley Carmichael appeared on Meet the Press, a
program which was televised nationwide. He repeatedly and vociferously
stated that he now calls on all negro’ to refuse to serve in the military in
defense of this country. Specifically, he rejected the idea of any negros
serving in Viet-Nam and left no doubt that he is in truth preaching treason
from day to day.

According to the news accounts I have read, Stokeley Carmichael is not
a bona fide citizen of the United States. He admits publicly that he has
never voted in an cdlection and for one so interested in the conduct of our
nation's affairs, this must be proof that he isn't a citizen. I understand

a ’

 
 

oe
he was born on the Island of Trinidad and was "educated" at Howard
University, Washington D.C.

 

You will recall that our country deported a gangster known as Lucky
Luciano for crimes that are considerably below the level of treason.
My simple question ia" Can you shed true light on the character and
purpose of one Stokeley Carmichael? Next, he should either live by the
laws of this country or he should be deported. Perhaps your great
committee can help in ridding the U.S.A. of these insidious enemies *
that our Justice Department seemingly ignores as civil strife continues
to increase.

In the interest of law over anarchy, I remain

_'

Sincerely yours,

My dear Mr. Boykin:
I deeply appreciate your action in mailing the Grand Jury Reports from
Cleveland to our friends in an effort to make this terrible guerrilla warfare known to everyone. I£ we as a nation. fail to identify Communlat
influence behind the scenes, then these riots can never be &amp;uppreased.
If enough important people fully grasp the complete dangers of this prob•
lem, they will asslat Congressman Poole and the rest of the House and
Senate to bring pressure on the President to rid himeel! of the rotten eggs
in his cabinet.
,
..
It is my opinion that Attorney General Katzenbach will go down in history
as the worst ever to serve our country, Something must be done about hia
refusal to recognize and do something about Communism and its followers;
who openly state their intent to destroy our nation. For example; if you
o·r · I stood on a street corner anywhere in the U. S;. and called on anyone to
refuse to serve in the country's military services, we would be clapped in
jail overnight, and we would .deserve euch treatipent. On the other hand,
we see the Justice Department openly supporting ii·~ protectihj leaders .
such as Stokeley Carmichael; leader-of the Student's Nonviolent Coordinat;. ·.
--.. ing Committee, who recently appeared on national TV (NBC) and enjoined ·. .'
all negroes to refuse to serve in the military. The question h: Whose \
·
.

side is
Katzenbach on?

This man Carmichael should be deported. He la a native of Trinidad and
recently admitted to NBC Moderator, Mr. Lawrence Spivak on "Meet The
Press" th~t there is some question o( whether he la even a citizen of th'f ~
United States. Regardless of hla citizenship 1tatu1, anyone who preach'5a

it Seale | — September 2, 1966

1805 North Indian Creek Drive
Mobile, Alabama

Honorable Frank W. Boykin
Chairman of the Board
Tensaw Land &amp; Timber Co.
205 Government Street
Mobile, Alabama

My dear Mr. Boykin:

I deeply appreciate your action in mailing the Grand Jury Reports from
Cleveland to our friends in an effort to make this terrible guerrilla ware
fare known to everyone. If we as a nation, fail to identify Communist
influence behind the scenes, then these riots can never be suppressed.

If enough important people fully grasp the complete dangers of this prob-
lem, they will assist Congressman Poole and the rest of the House and
Senate to bring pressure on the President to rid himself of the rotten eggs
in his cabinet.

It is my opinion that Attorney General Katzenbach will go down in history
as the worst ever to serve our country, Something must be done about his
refusal to recognize and do something about Communism and its followers,
who openly state their intent to destroy our nation. For example, if you
or I stood on a street corner anywhere in the U.S. and called on anyone to
refuse to serve in the country's military services, we would be clapped in
jail overnight, and we would deserve such treatment, On the other hand,
we see the Justice Department openly supporting und protectihg leaders
such as Stokeley Carmichael, leader‘of the Student's Nonviolent Coordinates
.ing Committee, who recently appeared on national TV (NBC) and enjoined ©
all negroes to refuse to serve in the military. The question is: Whose \
side is Katzenbach on?

This man Carmichael should be deported. He is a native of Trinidad and
recently admitted to NBC Moderator, Mr. Lawrence Spivak on "Meet The
Press'' that there is some question of whether he is even a citizen of the\
United States. Regardless of his citizenship status, anyone who preacher
against negroes, or any other race, honoring their obligatory military
service, is obviously preaching treason against our country. We deported
the gangster Lucky Luciano for crimes that were far below the level of |
treason,

Please do everything possible to obtain copies of Bobby Kénnedy's
.speeches when he ran for the Senate, New York and defeated Senator
Keating. Perhaps a better description would be when he "purchased"
Senator Keating's job. These speeches will be of inestimable value

to Governor Wallace when he begins preparation for the 1968 presiden-

tial race,

Please call all your friends and try to influence as many as possible to
attend the Governor's speech in Prichard Monday, September 5, 1966.
e

With warmest personal regards, I remain

Your devoted friend, '

IRA V. MATTHEWS

Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor

City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

Enclosed is a copy of the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury Report concerning
the recent riots in Cleveland, Ohio. You will note on page 3 that the
Cleveland riots were "aided and abetted by +~- members of, or officers in,
the Communist Party."

May I offer my sincere and deepest sympathy for the terrible state of
anarchy that has recently been perpetrated by what appears to be "outsiders"
on the great City of Atlanta? You are to be congratulated for your wonder~
ful leadership and resolute courage in the face of tremendous personal as
well as political risks. Seldom have the American people seen such bravery
as you personally demonstrated the past week-end.

Attached are two letters to Ex-Congressman Frank W. Boykin and to
Congressman Joe R. Pool, Chairman of the House Un-American Activities
Committee, concerning one Stokeley Carmichael. You will note that I

am calling on Congressman Pool to investigate ways and means to bring
Carmichael and his gang out in the open. Since you now have him in jail

in Atlanta, perhaps this is an opportunity for a joint effort by the House
Un-American Activities Committee and your efforts in Atlanta to either

put this man in jail for a long term or, better yet, deport him immediately.
I am sure you can count on warm support from Congressman Pool, but

you will probably have strong opposition from Attorney General Katzenbach
since he has publicly denounced the Grand Jury Report from Cleveland both
on television and in the international press.

In the interest of law over anarchy, I remain

Sincerely yours,
