On April 17, 1968, aconfidential source who has
furnished reliable information in the past, ascertained that _"
_.&#39;on that
date Stanley Levison_was in contact with Dora-McDonald.
_sggretary to Martin Luther King,Jr., deceasedhead ofthe - ,
SCLC, and thereafter Coretta King,_wife of Martin Luther King.
McDonald
92 told Levison that ?Meet the Press" wants-Ralph -
Abernathy, successor to Martin Luther King as head of the SCLCJ
to appear on this program as soon as possible and Coretta King
at_a later date. She stated that she had not talked to
Abernathy who was still in Memphis. Levison questioned if
Martin Luther King had not been scheduled to appear_on "Fade,
the Nation" then that
added "Meet the Press" was the roughest
-one. He said he had talked with Abernathy and advised him &#39;

Agernathy was gambling with his reputation

&#39; Levison referred to Coretta.King&#39;s-possible- - .
appearance at the major mass anti~Vietnam:war_demonstration_ .
=&#39;schedu1edfor New York City on April 27, 1968. He-said_
he had checked.with Dave Dellingeris National Director, - _ =
National Mobilization_Committee to End the War in Vietnam!
.office and that he, Levison, feels thatitisalright for her
&#39; to appear on this program and also to participate in the &#39;-
Mothers March in Washington, D.C. in connection with the -
Poor.People s Campaign! as_1ong as she.does not doznhing__
else.&#39; &#39;
. &#39; . . .- ..

&#39; -Levison then told Coretta King that he had checked - ~


Dave
with De1linger&#39;s office and that there
is a good
1 platform so that if she is inclined to particpate, they &#39;_&#39;
should be prompt1y_advised so they can have the benefit of i
the publicity. He emphasized that she-should not do other;
things because it would be too much
exposure}_ Comparing heri"
situation that
with of Jackie Kennedy, Coretta commented that -
she believes many people see that her life was not the same, _
.that-people understand she_was
how in the picture" and have &#39; "
- now given her amandate that she must remain "in the picture".
Levison agreed but counselled-this should done-gradually
be
and in good taste" _&#39; . &#39; &#39;

_Coretta asked requests


about for articles about
herself and Levison advised that, as ageneral principle, &#39;" _
-proceeds for-suchrarticles&#39;shou1d=goto her because the subject -_-
of the articles will command the price." He said if thousands
are paid for an article, then a-few hundred is all the writer -
entitled
is to. "

Levison mentioned that Grosset and Dunlap, an


old publishing is
firm, comingjout with "I
a book, Had A&#39; -
-Dream", about Martin Luther King which is unauthorized- He &#39;~
said_Harper and Rowe are willing to have their lawyers prepare
. an injunction presenting or stopping-the pub1ication_andl
distribution of this but
book, atelegram is needed from. I *
Coretta to_proceed. Levison then read atelegram for her -
signature and she agreed to have Dora McDonald-send it
immediately. &#39;

_. &#39;
Coretta discussed requests she had received fer _
appearances andjLevison stated that she would&#39;receive=many-&#39; -
requests but-that She will haye.to be selective-and turn" h&#39; -
many down; He-counselled that she should adopt the position - .
that, for the present, she feels that_activity in King&#39;s &#39;
behalf has to be toward his memorial and that itswould not~ _-
serve anyone
if her name is used by everyone. added
He that .
this says she is using her name in the area
she knows wou1d""
be closest to King, his family-and his 0rganization.- He _
said it is important in preserving the strength of aname" _
that it not be overused. __- &#39; "

_~ Finally, Levison asked if Coretta wanted him_to .


contact Dave Dellinger. She stated that he should call -
Dellinger and point_out that her exposure must be limited
and that she must be protected because she-is only doing _
the things she feels very strongly about, that is; those
things that are related to the work of her husband}- I
Aconfidential source, who has furnished -
reliable
&#39; information in the advised
past, .
in April, 196M,&#39;that StanleyLevison was
asecret.member of the Communist Party, ,
United States of America GP, USA!, in -_
July, 1963. In late&#39;l963, and ear1y,.196h,- .
he criticized the CP for not being_ ~- ~- ~
1sufficiently militant in the civil rights- P
struggle. &#39;Levison was described by certain_ &#39; &#39;
GP leaders as being to the "left" of the CP -
in his position on civil rights, His ; _
- differences with the CP, however, are merely Q
tactical and he continu shis ideologicai -

Asource advised on May 1, 1963, that the Women


for Legislative Action was formed in 1952. claiming to be
an independent organization dedicated to non-partisan parti~
cipation inlegislative and civic activities. Its position
in faVoring_or opposing legislation usually parallels the 92
position of the Communist Party and related groups. It also
supports legislation to abolish the House Committee on Unw
American Activities. Membership in the women for Legislative
Action does not, of itslef, connote membership in or sympathy
with the Communist Party.

Another source advised on May 11, 1967. that the


Women_for Legislative Action continues to be active in the
Los Angeles area.

As the is anane, periodically various
1 offices arise Atlanta of receipt of anonymous threats
q against the life of AHBRHATHY. In the.past Atlanta has
92
&#39; not furnished such information directly.to annnirnr, but? -~.;
nae follued the policy of inl iately peeing the inforntion
o to an appopriate official of the Atlanta Police _
Department, who in turn advises AHERRATHY. This policy
W was established several years ago, whenIARIIN LUTHER
W KING,_JR. was President of SCL, due to the tact KING
; was-traveling extesively sun nae not cooperative when
efforts were nade to locate his in Atlanta for the
; purpose of advising his of threats against his life.
T . It.noe appearsthat some
advantage
naybe
_ gained by changing the existing policy of informing ,92
ABEBNATHTregarding receipt of infornation relating to I

the

Book Review

In her acknowledgment at the front of the book-Mrs. King


stated that Stanley Levison had read.the entire manuscript
and had offered many useful suggestions. She also acknowledged
the valuable legal and personal assistance she got from Harry
Haohtel. Later
in the
book she said Levison and Waohtel were
two of King&#39;s
dear friends and that King sought their adviee
{92 and used them as sounding boards for his ideas. She said
Levlson always worked in the background and his contribution
was indispensable. She added that Levison and Naehtel were
two of the most important supporters of her husband&#39;s
work
and that they continued to assist her in many valuable ways
to this day.

In the epilogue to her book. Mrs. King thanked the _.-


people who sent checks to continue her husband&#39;s
work and those
who sent checks specifically to the children and herself .-V She
r used
said she had these gifts to assist her in setting up and
a
maintaining staff and an office to handle the large volume of
i mail and "the myriad requests made,of me." &#39;

- This selfless, megianimous, decorous attitude is belied


by hrs. King&#39;s
actual shrewd, calculating, businesslike activitie B
In Augist, 1968, following King&#39;s
death in April, 1960, Levison
and Harry Bels onte, the Negro entertainer, conferred oi
concern over
Belafonte&#39;s a request by Mrs. King for fifty percent
of an SCLC fund. Levison said her request, which amounted to
$200,000
about was for fifty percent of; -the Martin Luther King
Fund which was established with the -understanding that it would
be shared with her. A confrontation between Mrs. King and the
SCLC leadership was imminent oier this matter and many other &#39;
things. Levison, Mrs. King&#39;s
devoted friend and protector. told
Belafonte that only about half the money that had been collected
-
for the Martin Luther King Fund had been put into that fund.
Therefore, if Mrs. King&#39;s
request was granted, she would still
"
only receive about twenty percent of the fund. .

F On page 245, in w:.iting_abo92.itthe death of President


92 Kennedy Hrs. King mentioned the courage of Hrs. Kennedy and
92 added that for all theirpwssb iel explanations and their deep
still
faith in God. she and King were persoi l-. lyin n dark abyss
of sorrow for "this ga1.1ant.compassionate and wise man." She
indicated that in a way President Kennedy was King&#39;s best friend.

Hart, &#39;I un.ney,-
and 14
members of the House of epresentatives have taken
-&#39;;
strong
a position in support" of the April 24 demonstration. The forces that

forged the alliance tor April 24 represent the
broadest and most diverse

that if a significant number of elected officials combine
their strengths with large numbers of people whose convictions are sufficiently

Dear Ruth,. _I

I lI l
this is the single most important thing that I could do at this timetoward -
fulfilling my
husband&#39;sdream. t- &#39; -

&#39;
am gratified
I that persons
like Senators
McGovern, Hartke,
Gravel, I
Hart, Tunney, and 14_n:te1_-nbers of the House of Representatives have taken
astrong position in support of the April 24 demonstration. The forces that
have forged the alliance for April 24 represent the broadest and most diverse
base ofsupport that
the peace forceshave everhad. l&#39;

This war has ravaged our domestic programs. It has created aclimate _
of wanton violence at home and in Vietnam, and it is patently responsible
for the unprecedented deterioration of our values, _Without adoubt, America
has continuously built for war and destruction, with agrant disregard for .
peace and development.

It is my
conviction that if asignificant number. ofelected officials comiiirm
their strengths with large numbers of people whose convictions are suiicie&#39;na.-
strong, and with adetermination to end the war, this will
be a clear
mandsi:
to the Nixon Administration to
move toward ending this brutal and immoral
I
war. still believe that the power to bringabout positive, lasting change
rests with the people. - &#39; - &#39;
_-

I will
be with you on April 24
in Washington. -
&#39; Yours for alasting peace, &#39; &#39;

Fauntroy SCLC

interest is in preventing in any way disclosure of information that might _

about the possibility that the Senate Select Committee and the House Select -an-v
Committee on Intelligence might subpoena FBI records concerning King

Memorandum to Mr. Adams -&#39;


Re: Freedom of Information Act Request
Concerning Martin Luther King , Jr

He said he is also concerned about reports appearing in the


press recently which alleged improper activities concerning the FBI.
He gave as an example the allegation in the New York Times of
March 9, 19? 5, that the Bureau had ordered handwriting samples of
Young to beobtained in order for his signature to be forged. Young
said that he
is not interested in helping the press
attack the FBI.
having
by the Bureau s files concerning King made available because
I
he has personal knowledge that the press, in the early 1960&#39;s, was
aware that FBI Agents circulated false reports concerning members
of the SCLC and doing other things to disrupt their activities. He said
that at
that time he and others had requested the press to identify the
Agents involved, but they consistently refused to do so and now he saw
no reason to aid the press in their current efforts against the FBI.

Mr. Wachtel said that he was aware that they could ask for
materials under the Freedom of Information -Act and that they could sue
for damages for improper activities by the Bureau, but
they have decided
that it would be
more useful -to protect the privacy of the King" family -
to attempt to resolve this matter without the publicity that would be
attached to such requests Jor asuit. He asked what our general policy
is concerning the release of information to Congress and our policy
concerning the protection of privacy of individuals who might be
mentioned
in our files. -

Itold him that the FBI is not in favor of making Bureau les
available for review by members of Congress and that we are most con-
cerned about the protection of personal privacy of individuals. I pointed
out that inmost cases the FBI&#39;s poisition
under the FOLA is that material
should not -be released even in those situations where the Department is
of the opinion that the material must be released pursuant to the statute.
Assistant Attorney General Scalia supported me in that position and said _
he well understood the policy of the FBI to be acareful concern for the.
privacy of individuals . &#39;

i&#39;. ong&#39;ressrnansaid
Young
that their interests could be served
if they could be
made aware of the nature of the information in Bureau
files on King and he requested consideration be given to
granting them

Adams &#39;

access to file material concerning King. He explained that they could


of
not take appropriate steps to protect the privacy King and his surviving
family against publication by Congressor leaks to the press unless they
knew what the material was. Young suggested that it might be possible
for any material on King to be transferred to the King Memorial Library
to be held free from inspection for future historical purposes.
I reminded
Mr. Young that such a move would not protect the material from
Congressional if
subpoena and I suggested to him that material exists-
in FBI files concerning King, it would have greater protection in the
of
custody of
the FBI because the opportunities available for the
Exec-utive&#39;Branch
to deal on an equal basis with the Congress, and therefore
of
to deny access to the material in the face a Congressional subpoena.

he
Mr. Young agreed that of
had not considered that aspect his
-
proposal.

Mr. Wachtel asked for a specific timetable for the preparation


of the Attorney Genera1&#39;s
proposedguidelinesand asked whether any
specific arrangements have been made to date with any of the Congressional.
committees that might involve material on Assistant Attorney
General Scalia told him that no specific timetable has been set for the
of
development guidelines but the Attorney General has indicated that they
must be developed at an early date.
. He said that no arrangements have
&#39;
been made with any Congressionalcommittees concerning le material
on King.

.
Mr WachtelandCongressman
Youngrequestedan opportunity
to meet again to discuss this matter further and indicated that they would
call and request another meeting. Mr. Scalia then advised that he would
present to the Attorney General the request for them to have access to the
if
file material any exists on King and indicated that he would advise
Mr. Wachtel by March 1&#39;7,of
1975, the developments concerning the
Attorney Genera1&#39;s
proposed guidelines.

Dear Mrs. King: _ -

I will look forward to hearing from you concerning _


extending the Federal Holiday Commission in support of
&#39;
Dr. King&#39;s Federal National Holiday.

I read of your concern-with respect


to the publicity
regarding Congressman Walter Fauntroy. Public officials
are constantly subjected to the scrutiny of thepress and
the general public. As
I am sure you appreciate, it would
&#39;
not be appropriate for
me to make any kind of comment
K . regarding any investigation
or inquiry the FBI may have
originated with respect to allegations about Congressman
I-&#39;-IF-v - Fauntroy.
&#39; &#39;

I appreciate your confidence my


in sense of fairness
and justice and assure you that the FBI
will conduct its
&#39;
business according to the rule of law and within the
guidelines established by the Attorney General of the
United States. .

I hope you will continue to assist


me in the
recruiting of qualified minorities to be FBI employees. If
you have any specific ideas along those lines,
I would b
grateful
if youwould
share
them
