Roo Holmes Gandy UNITED STATES C VERNMENT Memorandum DATE: October 31, 1966 TO Mr. W. C. Sullivan FROM F. J. Baumgardner 0 SUBJECT: SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY - SWP INTERNAL SECURITY - DISRUPTION PROGRAM PURPOSE: The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend publication of a news release embarrassing to the Socialist Workers Party. BACKGROUND: The Socialist Workers Party is running a candidate for Governor of New York. New York law requires a Governor to be at least 30 years of age and a resident of New York. The Party apparently hoped for a controversy over not being a resident in order to gain publicity by comparing her to Senator Robert Kennedy. They did not get this publicity. Our New York Office recommends publication of an item ridiculing the Socialist Workers Party by publicizing these facts and comparing to past Socialist Workers Party candidates who also have not met required standards. New York feels the Party can be disrupted and neutralized-if this item appears immediately before the election. This will prevent undue publicity because of the time element. RECOMMENDATION: REC-52 100 That the attached humorous release be given to the "New York Daily News" by the Crime Records Division to embarrass the Socialist Workers Party.

The page is dominated by text identifying the subject matter: "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND PRIVACY ACTS," "SUBJECT: (COINTELPRO)," "SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY," and various identifying numbers and section titles. At the center of the page is a circular seal with the words "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT" around an American flag design. There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, stamps, forms, logs, charts, or visual evidence of surveillance methods. The page is entirely text-based, with the exception of the central seal. The page displays a significant portion of text, centered on a white background. The text clearly states "NOTICE" at the top, followed by a paragraph detailing that the best obtainable copies are included in the reproduction of the file, and any blurs or difficulties in reading are due to the condition of the originals. There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, official stamps, forms, wiretap logs, surveillance charts, or redactions visible on this page. The visual presentation is solely focused on the dissemination of this notice through plain text.

Mr. DeLoach Mr. Wick 1 - Mr. Sullivan 1- Mr. Baumgardner Proud of my reputation as an independent thinker, I may once again hop, skip and jump over the voting machine. My choice for Governor, as leader of the ticket, should reflect the utmost consideration as to which candidate will do the best job. The choice, however, is made a little easier by the presence on the ballot of JUDY WHITE, candidate for Governor on the ticket of the Socialist Workers Party. JUDY's platform indicates that, if elected, she will crusade for a voting age of 18; however, her own age of 28 would preclude her serving, even if elected. Seems there are only three requirements for this job in the State Constitution, to wit: a U. S. citizen, attainment of 30 years of age, residency in New York for five years immediately preceding election. Her residency in New York for less than six months also appears to leave something to be desired. The Socialist Workers Party seems to have a flair for running curious candidates as evidenced by JOHN CLARENCE FRANKLIN, its 1961 candidate for president of the borough of Manhattan. JOHN's arrest record ran from petty larceny to first degree murder and later received free room and board in Clinton Prison. How such candidates manage a spot on the ballot is interesting speculation. Do you get the impression its leg-pulling time?"

Keating BROADCAST: November 18, 1966 6 PM Evening Report November 21, 1966 7 AM Morning Report In covering the recent elections in New York, we discovered what we consider to be a serious flaw in our election law, a flaw that should be corrected immediately. And the flaw is that, under the present system, a person can run for governor or other state offices even though that person may not be eligible to serve if elected, according to the provisions of our state Constitution. For example, the state Constitution says that in order to serve as governor, a person must be 30 years old, a resident of the state for the five years preceding the election, and a United States citizen. But, the Secretary of State tells us, there is no procedure that calls for an automatic check to determine that a candidate nominated for governor meets those qualifications. Now, in the past election, the Socialist Worker Party candidate for governor was a woman named Judith White. But if The document is a typed communication with handwritten annotations and official stamps. It includes a list of names with checkboxes, suggesting a distribution or action list. One stamp reads "MAILED 19 NOV 1950 COMM-FBI". There are handwritten notes in blue ink and a signature. A portion of the document near the top right appears to be redacted. The bottom right corner contains a printed section indicating a "DELETED COPY" for release to plaintiffs in a civil suit. This declassified FBI document is heavily visually degraded, with significant speckling and dark areas obscuring the details. The top of the page features a series of what appear to be four circular, patterned stamps or seals. Towards the upper right, a large, bold "X" obliterates some of the text. Underneath this "X," the word "CONFIDENTIAL" is partially visible. In the lower right corner, the word "CONFIDENTIAL" is again visible, this time with a large "X" drawn through it. There are also handwritten annotations, specifically a number "2-" near the bottom center. The document contains typed text, but its legibility is hindered by the overall image quality. States citizen. But, the Secretary of State tells us, there is no procedure that calls for an automatic check to determine that a candidate nominated for governor meets those qualifications. Now, in the past election, the Socialist Worker Party candidate for governor was a woman named Judith White. But if she had been elected, according to the Constitution she could not have served, because she is 28 years old. And, as I mentioned, the state Constitution says that the governor must be at least 30. Since the Constitution does contain certain qualifications for the office of governor, then the same qualifications should apply to the people who run for that office. It doesn't make sense to have a candidate running for an office that the Constitution says he is not eligible to fill. Everyone who votes for that candidate throws his vote away, and, in a tight race, those votes could be crucial. If that candidate should happen to win election, it could result in a breakdown of our government. In our opinion, the law should ensure that candidates on the ballot are eligible to serve in the office for which they are running. *.** We would like to remind our viewers that WCBS-TV will consider requests for time for the presentation of views differing from those expressed in our editorials. 110-46-24 ENCLOSURE NY.100-146608 advised that he would furnish additional results of this investigation. Concerning the suggested article submitted to the Bureau in re New York let, dated October 24, 1966, and in turn afforded the "New York Daily News", the New York Office has no information indicating that this article appeared in this publication. It is noted, however, that the enclosed Columbia Broadcasting System editorial was presented by CBS TV on November 18, 1966 and November 21, 1966. Established liaison sources on CBS had been unable to date to ascertain the motivating force behind this editorial. It is noted, however, that this editorial contains an allegation which was included in the suggested article. The Bureau will be advised of any additional tangible results concerning the above matter, and will continue to explore all possibilities for additional disruptive techniques in regard to this program. - 2 - OPTIONAL FORM NO.10 MAY 1962 EDITION GSA GEN.

It includes handwritten annotations like "PUB" and "AWB" near the "FROM" line, and other marginalia such as "1-9109+D" and "REC-8" with associated numbers. There are also official stamps, including a date stamp of "15 DEC 23 1966" and a handwritten date "7 DEC 30 1956" below a small, silhouetted illustration of a person. Several sections are redacted with black ink, obscuring portions of text, particularly in the main body of the memorandum and near the signature line at the top right. The overall appearance suggests a routine administrative document within a surveillance operation. This document appears to be a transcript of a WCBS-TV editorial from November 1966. Visually, it is a black and white photocopy of what seems to be a typed document, with significant degradation and smudging in places, particularly on the right side and in the margins. There are no photographs, handwritten annotations, or official stamps visible. The page is dominated by typed text, with the prominent header "Editorial/02" and subsequent paragraphs discussing election law reform in New York. A section of text appears to be a form with fields for "SUBJECT," "SPOKESMAN," and "BROADCAST," all filled in with typed information. At the bottom, the word "ENCLOSURE" is printed, and there are some faint, illegible markings that could be handwritten numbers or codes.
