FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN w Oppose Communist Organization Label State Department Orders a Surveillance Placed on Harvard Protestor in Europe School Time is OLYMPIA TIME (Continued from Page 1) In almost every instance in the past, Katzenbach noted when he announced his action, when a group has been put on the subver- sive list it tends to wither away, due to public pressure aroused by the action. Set a Precedent "We want to set a precedent," Rothberger said, "for groups that are on the list or that are being threatened with being put on the list, showing that we can remain as a valid student organization at a Michigan public college. We want to show the government that this type of policy of red-baiting will no longer work." In reaction to the attorney gen- eral's move, DuBois clubs are "growing by leaps and bounds." Where three months ago the or- ganization had 2500 members, to- day at least 700 more belong. An example of this reaction is the DuBois club chapter at Wayne State University, formed seven months ago. Formed last September by 16 students, the chapter now numbers about 40, and membership has * doubled since Katzenbach made his statement. The students formed the chap- ter, chairman Mark Nowakowski said, because the organization "ex- pressed the way we were thinking about things." Currently it is "struggling for' student rights; trying to achieve a representative student govern- ing body." It will not take part officially in tomorrow's Viet Nam war protest march, "but as in- dividuals everyone in the group will probably take some part in it." Because the DuBois clubs have been obscure until now, over- shadowed by larger and more mili- tant groups, many of those famil- iar with protest groups were sur- prised by the government's action. As one observer told the New York Times: "Those DuBois guys were considered squares by the hard-nose radicals because they always followed the Russian line. That's considered reactionary by the people who are really militant. Now the DuBois club has status. Why did the government do it? It's crazy." The organization is named for W.E.B. DuBois (who pronounced his name doo boys), a prominent American Negro historian and so- ciologist who became a member of the Communist party at the age of 93, in 1961. He died two years later as an expatriate in Ghana. Most of the 36 member clubs are located near campuses, pri- marily in New York, California, Wisconsin and Illinois. Many of the members are teenagers. One member of a group arrested by New York police a few weeks ago after a fight with a raid-baiting group was only 14. It is likely that the attorney general was pushed into action by the repeated blasts of F.B.I. Di- rector J. Edgar Hoover. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has lodged a stern complaint with the secretary of state, demanding that the shadowing of a Harvard pro- fessor, H. Stuart Hughes, by the State Department be explained. Hughes was subjected to surveil- lance by the department early this month, while traveling in Europe, Kennedy expressed "dismay" after learning that certain citizens are subjected to surveillance because of political beliefs. Hughes said that he has made at least 10 trips to Europe since World War II and that this was the first time he learned of being followed. Hughes stated that the probable reason for the "sudden interest" of the State Department was the fact that he has recently been "outspoken" on the Viet Nam war. First Surveillance To his knowledge the surveil- lance came only after he became actively involved in this movement and never occurred on his pre- vious trips to Europe. During a trip to Russia in 1960, he said that neither the Russians nor the Americans seemed particularly in- terested in him at that time. Originally Hughes learned of the surveillance from the New York Times. He said that they had been told of it by a person in the State Department who leaked the news because of discontent with the de- partment's actions. The statement by Senator Kennedy was entirely unsolicited, he also said. The State Department disclosed yesterday that it had ordered em- bassies in Moscow and Paris to carry on such surveillance early{ this month. The State Department said yes- terday it is not in the business of "shadowing" Americans abroad at the behest of U.S. investigative agencies. Press officer Robert J. McClos- key gave this reply under question- ing about the Hughes case. Denying that U.S. embassies go in for "shadowing" the American travelers concerned, McCloskey said "we are not undertaking an investigative responsibility," but what information comes to hand is given to requesting Washington investigators. McCloskey confirmed that Fran- ces Knight, the passport office director, who has been in contro- versy with some of her State De- partment superiors, has had her authority clipped somewhat under new procedures. Requests from investigative agencies for embassy watches are to be cleared by her superiors be- fore transmittal overseas. Only a Check However, the procedure at this point will involve only a check to make sure a request has been received from an investigative agency, McCloskey said. The FBI-requested message on Hughes, McCloskey told newsmen said Hughes "reportedly in the past has had strong convictions to- ward Communism." Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D- Mass) has asked Secretary of State Dean Rusk for an explanation of the situation. McCloskey said Ken- nedy's letter had just been receiv- ed and would be answered by Rusk Hughes, a history professor plans to go abroad this fall to do research for a book. It did so because the Federal Bureau of Investigation held sus- picions about Hughes' political be- liefs. Hughes had opposed Kenne- dy in the 1962 senatorial campaign running as an independent. 'Communist Convictions' The instructions to the embassy to undertake surveillance stated that Hughes "reportedly in the past has had strong convictions toward Communism." It also said that "Mr. Hughes had testified on behalf of Robert A. Soblen, a con- victed spy, at a hearing for a re- trial." Hughes said that he had testi- fied at the request of Dr. Sob- len's lawyer "because of my spe- cial knowledge, as a former officer of the Office of Strategic Services of the job that Dr. Soblen had done for that organization. I testi- fied that in doing his job, Soblen did not have access to informa- tion on highly secret weapons." Hughes also refused to "dignify" Pick up your VW Station Wagor in Europe. the charges about Communism by commenting on them. He did say that "my views on Communism are a matter of public record" and are given in his book, "An Approach to Peace and Other Essays," pub- lished by Atheneum in 1962. f F 5 ~~- University Typewriter, Center Home of OLYMPIA, the Precision Typewriter 613 E.

The group included Secre- tary of Health, Education and Welfare, John Gardner, Surgeon General Whilliam H. Stewart, As- sistant Secretary of Health Edu- cation and Welfare Francis Kep- pel and other health officials. Honolulu Declaration The task force is a follow up to the Honolulu Declaration made by President Johnson, in which he told; cabinet members that there could be little progress in Viet Nam until a social revolution took place to improve the lot of 4 the civilian Vietnamese. Dr. Weg man will not comment on his recommendations until the Presi- dent has seen his report. There were indications that the medical care of the Viet Cong is running into difficulties, too. Hos- pital officials in Viet Nam are certain that many of the patients in dispensaries are Viet Cong who sneak in during the day. Often the Vietnamese will not build a dispensary unless they are sure it can be staffed. The Viet Cong wil blow up an empty hos- pital, t dispensary or school, but will not touch those which are staffed and in operation. Dr. Wegman was impressed by the "unreal" quality of Viet Nam. The U.S. and Australian embassies in Saigon are surrounded by barb- ed wire and protected by soldiers, and uniformed men appear every- where. At a press conference given at the administration building yes- terday Dr. Wegman commented that in some respects Viet Nam is 50 years behind the United States in public health measures.
