DOROTHY PARKER

November 73 1951'-

Dear friend,

A good many people; in my time, have called me stubbornn
I am writing to you because I think that; perhapsg you
*haVe been called stubborn too, frOm time to-time 11 and
are .proud of its - 

I am stubborn in a way I stubborn in my belief in
the people of Spain and in refusing to forget that
Francisco Franco is a fascist

The form my stubbornness takes is my inability to grow-
callous to the hardship and suffering.of the Spanish
Republican refugees,? Their land and lives are in ruins,
but they-have never lost faith; And that faithy I'm_
proud to say, has .been nourished over the years by the
generosity and friendship of a large number of stubborn
Americans

In the.last three years alone; despiteneny difficulties
in our path, the Spanish Refugee Appeal has sent abroad
almost $1405000 in relief?? Now, with the coming of,
winter; new hardships in France and Mexico must be
alleviatedu

 

I write to ask you to keep centinuous this flow of Ameriu'
can relief to the exiled'victims of Spanish fascism
They look to us as never before inethe twelve years of
their exile I write knowing that you will be as gen"
erous and willing 1, and stubborn oi as Americans of
conscience and honor have always beeno

Won't you send your contribution to me today?

z: a: 

  

statement he had originally made to Dr. J. B. MATTHEWS, formerly
employed by the House Committee on Uh~American Activities that he,
BUDENZ, knew 400 concealed Communists. BUDENZ stated that he could
not recall making this statement to but that he did make -this
statement in the book which he had just written and which is to be
published in the very near future, "men without Faces".


BUDENZ stated that if he revealed the 400 concealed .
Communists he would be deluged with libel suits, and even if he won
them he would go broke plus having to devote all his time to defending
himself., However, BUDENZ advised that he would furnish the New York
Office with a list of 400 concealed Communists in the near future.

To date he has submitted approximately 136 names in
which list appears the name of the above captioned individual. BUDENZ
stated that his list of 400 concealed Communists does not include
persons who were merely sympatheticgwith the party or who were known
to him to be under party discipline? It only includes Communists.

However they may or may not have a Party card although
:he states that he knows they are Communists either because he personally
met them at closed Communist meetings or his meeting wi uh the person
was such that he knew that he was a party member. In some instances
BUDENZ never met the person, but knows the person to be a Communist
because of a report by some Communist Party Official who described that
perS'on as a Communist. It should be noted that BUDEUZ'stated'that
he has never prepared a written list of concealed Communists.. He has,
however, compiled a mental list and he feels that he knows approximately
400 such persons. Specific information relative to comments con~
cerning each of the persons named by him will be obtained from BUDENZ as
. on as possible. This informatidn will be furnished to the interested
. ield offices when obtained from BUDENZ.

trioute to Paul, to mention something about the whole
question of international cu-ltural interchange in relation
to peace, and how much. is lost to the people of the world in
being denied the oppo_rtunity' to hear Paul RobesonLe voice

him a passport, as well as how much is loet by our own

Dea?-ien?d?.
?Q.qf:aqvu 
A good many peeple, in my time, have jealled me stubborn. I am

writing to you because I think that, perhaps. you have been 
called stubborn too. from time to time -- and are proud of it. 

Pr 

 

   
  
  
 
   
   
   
     
 
  
 
   
 
  

I EB stubborn in a way. I'm stubborn in my belief in the peeple
of Spain -- and in refusing to forget that Francisco France is a
fascist. And I'm getting more and more so as I watch American guns
and dollars convert Spain Openly into a sea and air base for war.

The form my stubbornness takes is my inability to grow callous
to the hardship and suffering of the Spanish Republican refugees.
Their land and lives are in ruins, but they have never lost faith.
And that faith, I'm proud to say, has been nourished over the
years by the generosity and friendship of a large number of
stubborn Americans.

In the last three years alone, despite many difficulties in our
path. the Spanish Refugee Appeal has sent abroad almost $140,000
in relief. New, with the coming of fall, new hardships in France
and Mexico must be alleviated.

I write to ask you to keep continuous this flow of American

relief to the exiled victims of Spanish fascism. They look to

us as never before in the twelve years of their exile. I write
knowing that you will be as generous and willing -- and stubern 
as Americans of conscience and honor have always been.

Won't you send your contribution to me today? 

Sincerely,

\Gm?j?m?

re: Amnesty Christmas Rally._ 
User 800 communists, progressives and left wing trade

unionists came to the ?Amnesty Christmas Rally? held on Dec. 17th,
1953 at the Mhnhattan Plaza in New York. The audience consisted
mostly of middle age men and women. women were in the majority.
Youth had.about 200 in the hall. Most of the audience were Jews.
There were a few Russians and Ukrainians; a sprinkle of latins and
some 50 or so Negroes.

The functionaries of this meeting, suc as ticket sellers,
ticket takers, ushers, etc. were communists.

The chairman of the meeting was Dr. Edward Barsky. 

In his speech Dr. Barsky appealed to President Eisenhower
to grant 1?amnesty to the great American patriots who were imprisoned
for the crime of fighting for peace? and in this way "right the wrong?
against them. He underlined that the granting of amnesty to "political
prisoners" in the United States isn't new. He enumerated some of the
cases where amnesty was granted by Presidents including the freeing of
Debs on the recomandation of ittorney General Dougherty. Barsky
said'thatl?oUr country is drifting into fascism?; that ?Mo Carthyism
is the imerican version of fascism?; that the leaders of the American
people and of the peace movement are in the prisons today because
of the cold war and of the reactionary war in the country" and be
appealed to the people: "the fight for amnesty of the Smith not
victims is a fight-against the oming of fascism to this country and
is a fight for world peace." 

Prof. Royal France was introduced as the man ?who gave up
his professorship in a university in Florida so he Can devote his talent
to fight for the civil rights of the American people.?

SPANTSH REFUGEEVAPPHEAL
23 West 26th Street New York 10, N.Y.

 

February 1954
Dear Friend:

I am happy to tell you that for our first theater evening of 1954 we have chosen
THE THREEPEHNY OPERA, on SUNDAY EVEHIHG, March 14th. .

Written by Kurt Weill and Bert Brecht, this pepularized modern opera has been adapted
by Marc Blitsstein. Lotte Lenya (who was the late Kurt Heill's wife), who has been
called "incomparable" in her interpretation of Ueill's music,.heads an excellentv
cast. The director will be Carmen Capalbo, and Samuel Hatlowsky, recently returned
from conducting he "Porgy and Bess" company on its European tour, will conduct the
eight?man orchestra. 

Let me tell you what Howard Taubnan, music critic of the New York TIMES, says of
THE THREE PENNY OPERA:

"The Beggar?s Opera, the source material of THE THREEPENHY OPERA, was
written by John Gay and had its premier in England more than two centuries
ago. In the late Twenties, Kurt Ueill and Bert Brecht made an adaptation
in Germany, and it was introduced in Berlin in 1928. It ran for years 
in and out of?Germany. Brecht took Gay's book and made it meaningful for
the troubled and yet vibrant Berlin of those days. Weill wrote a score that
has inventiveness and subtlety, that used jazz idioms with independence and
freshness and that imparted an ineffable pathos to a story that is amusing
on the surface but that is impregnated with a ferocious bitterness. Marc
Blitzstein has done a truly creative job in'preparing his new English
adaptation. THE THREEPEHHI OPERA is a sure shot to enliven the coming season."

 

 

Albert J. Elias of the New York COMPASS said:

"What a beautiful uorkL ilts s?hry of hoodlums and beggars is by turns
r" farcical, ironical, trenchant, sweet and sad. Its music lingers uith'
the filled with the flavor of jazz, fresh, lively and vital."

The play will be presented at the Theater De the charming and comfortable new
small theater in Greenwich Village, where such hits as "End as A Han" and "Bullfight"
have recently been-shown. 

We believe that this will be an?exceptionally exciting and unusual evening in the
theater. - . 

The order blank enclosed indicates our-modest scale of prices thich include, as
usual, your contribution_to the support of clinics and hospitals for_the courageous
Spanish.Republican refugees. (p

I hope you will be able to join us, and suggest that you order-tiChets non for the
best choice of seats.. 

 

Cordially,

Letter to Director
NY 100- 98708

A. Acbording to a letter furnished by WAETER WINCHELL,
which letter was dated 3/10/52, and sent by the Spanish Refugee
Appe al, DOROTHY PARKER was listed as chairman of this Appeal.

5. The 7/28/52 edition of the ?Daily Worken" page 8,
columns 1- S, reflected that the subject spoke at a meeting, 
held in NYC on 7/2h/52, sponsored by the Joint Anti-Fascist
Refugee Committee and the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. At this
-meeting,. according to the "Daily Worker," the subject stated,
wasn't hiding her identity from the FBI, for whom she

had only monumental scorn. (D)
adlised that the subject

6 En 1/6/5u
spoke at an ?Amnesty Christmas Ra 1y," sponsored'by the National
Committee to Win. Amnesty for Smith Act Victims. This ihformant
advised .thet the re 11y was held 12/17/53, NYC, and that the
subject, in her speech, called for an end of fear and the freeing
of Smith Act victims from prison.

  

. Although the foregoing information reflects GP front
activity in the past three years, and the subject could
technically qualify for inclusion in the Security Index, it is
'not felt that she is dangerous enough to warrant her inelusion
.in same. It is, accordingly, recommended that she not be
.pleced en the Security Index.
