2088 COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES EN THE PEACE MOVEMENT Mr. NiTTLE. I now hand you a copy of a document titled "BIBLI- OGRAPHY," which is marked for identification as Posner Exhibit No. 5. It is a list of literature and sources for literature on the subject of war, peace, disarmament, nuclear testing, and related subjects. Is it not a fact, Mrs. Posner, that you distributed this bibliography as "recommended reading" at a meeting of Women Strike for Peace? Mrs. Posner. The same answer, sir, the fifth amendment. Mr. NiTTLE. Did you prepare that list? Mrs. Posner. The fifth. Mr. NiTTLE. I call you attention to page 2 of the bibliography, and specifically to item 14 thereof, which is entitled, "Many Valuable & Informative Publications Are Available." The first organization named in this item is the "Greenwich Village Peace Centre," of 133 West 3d Street, New York City. When you distributed that bibliography, did you know that the Greenwich Village Peace Center was headed by John W. Darr? Mrs. Posner. Again the fifth, sir. Mr. NiTTLE. Did you know that John W. Darr has been identified as a member of the Communist Party? Mrs. Posner. I plead the fifth. Mr. NiTTLE. Did you inform the members of Women Strike for Peace of this fact? Mrs. Posner. I plead the fifth. Mr. NiTTLE. I call your attention to item 11 of that bibliography, a publication entitled Peace Monthly. The exhibit describes that publication as a "Broad discussion of issues relating to peace," and notes that it is published by the "Conference of Greater New York [Peace] Groups" of 550 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Mr. Rabinowitz. Conference of Greater New York Groups? Mr. NiTTLE. Yes. Mrs. Posner. Is that a question? Mr. NiTTLE. No. When you distributed this bibliography, did you know that the leader of that organization, Henry Abrams, had been pubUcly denounced as a veteran member of the Communist Party and, in January 1961, was ousted from the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy at a time when it was attempting to eliminate Communists who had infiltrated that organization? Mrs. Posner. I stand on the fifth. (Document marked "Posner Exhibit No. 5" follows:)
COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES EST THE PEACE MOVEMENT 2089 Posner Exhibit Ko, $ BIBIJOfflUPHT Pre** rsports and editorials have been replete vltb dire forebodings as to the outeoBB at the Oeneva Conference. It Is disastrous, both psychologically and politically, to approach negotiations in a defeatist aood and an attitude of distrust. Our President in his UN address has promised us that "To halt the spiraling ao-ms race, ve reaain ready to seek new avenues of agreement." "Nev avenue^ naist be based OD a nev approach- -one which is based oq belief that in an atomic age, war is no IcDgsr a rational solution to internatianal differences.
