ISTRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE COMING CfXJT PARTY £ CW MARCH 4, 1966, Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal IJureau of investigation testi fied before Congress that the Compiunist Party U.S.A. was moving into a new era.. Hoover {old the Congress that the Com- infliist Party ^as going to aban don its posture of secrecy, antf attempt to create an image of respectabHRy and legality as a “legitimate pogtica] party*’. THE FULFILLMENT Of this prediction was climaxed when the Comntomtei Party U.S.A., between June 22-26. 1966, held Its first national convention since 1969. Parly officials, who had previously admitted only that they were “party spokes men’’ for fear of prosecution as officers, were identified^ upon their re-elect ton in their offices. TtlE RfcSL’RGENCE 6F the Communist Party Into an organ of open and unconcealed agita tion .was made possible by re cent Supreme Court decisions.

Hall continued: “And just as the United States is the center of world imperial ism and reaction, the v Soviet Union is the major bulwark Of the forces of national liberation an<f peace.” THE PROGRAM SET OUT for the Communist Party calls for increased political actfaa In the open. While Ole Parly will continue to work primarily for the defeat of anti-communist candidates, It foresees snffictent success for Its “respectable Im age” to begin supporting popu lar front candidates and even Communist candidates. Praise was heaped on Dorothy Healy, n Communist who ran for Los Angeles County Tax Assessor In June, 1966, who, although not elected, received 99,989 votes. THE PARTY PLACED great emphasis on its youth work, as js indicated by the fact that roughly one-third of the newly elected 80 member national committee are from the "youth group.” The Party emphasized as a priority objective its role as the primary influence for the "new left,” specifically the pro test movements against the U.S. policies in Viet Nam, the cam pus unrest and the civil rights demonstrations. The Commun ists have advocated "Black Poweff’* since 1659.
