the
AMENDMENT TO LIST OF SUBVERSIVE
ORGANIZATIONS

The following is added at the end of Appendix A:
In a letter dated September 5, 1950, in response to inquiries from the Chairman, Loyalty Review Board, in which the desig nation of organizations pursuant to Part III, section 3, of Executive Order No. 9835 was discussed, the Attorney General has advised the Loyalty Review Board as set out below.
You have inquired specifically whether the designation of International Workers Order as a communist organization includes, as well, the national group societies of that or ganization. The original designation of In ternational Workers Order, arrived at after appropriate investigation and determination, as provided by the Executive order, contem plated and was intended to include all of its subdivisions, subsidiaries and affiliates, how ever entitled. To clarify and remove any question as to the scope of the original des ignation of November 24, 1947, therefore, the following national group societies of Inter national Workers Order are hereby specifi cally designated pursuant to Executive Order No. 9835:
American-Russian Fraternal Society.
Carpatho-Russian Peoples Society.
Cervantes Fraternal Society.
Croatian Benevolent Fraternity.
Finnish-American Mutual Aid Society.
Garibaldi American Fraternal Society.
Hellenic-American Brotherhood.
Hungarian Brotherhood.
Jewish Peoples Fraternal Order.
Polonia Society of the IWO.
Romanian-American Fraternal Society.
Serbian-American Fraternal Society.
Slovak Workers Society.
Ukrainian-American Fraternal Union.
In your recent communications you have requested to be advised whether the Boston School for Marxist Studies and the Pacific Northwest Labor School are to be considered as adjuncts of the Communist Party as were the several schools named in the letter of Attorney General Clark of November 24, 1947. A review of all of the evidence available establishes that the Boston School for Marx ist Studies is in fact an adjunct of the Com munist Party; likewise that the Pacific Northwest Labor School was in effect but another name for the previously designated Seattle Labor School; and that the Joseph Weydemeyer School of Social Science of St.
Louis, Missouri, is likewise a Communist School. Therefore, pursuant to the mandate
and authority of Executive Order No. 9835, the following schools are designated as ad juncts of the Communist Party:
Boston School for Marxist Studies, Boston, Mass.
Joseph Weydemeyer School of Social Science, St. Louis, Mo.
Pacific Northwest Labor School, Seattle, Wash.
In your letter of October 14, 1949, you refer to the activities of the members of the Partido del Pueblo of Panama within the Canal Zone. The Partido del Pueblo is operating as the Communist Party of Panama and it is hereby designated pursuant to the authority of Executive Order No. 9835.
In previous communications from Attorney General Clark there were designated the Ku Klux Klan, the Association of Georgia Klans, and the Original Southern Klans, Inc. I
hereby designate within the same category the Associated Klans of America, an organi zation consisting of a merger of earlier Ku Klux Klan groups.
Also previously designated was the Nation al Council of Americans of Croatian Descent.
Subsequent to its designation this organ ization has effected a change of name. The designation applies alike to the new organ ization known as the Union of American Croatians. I also designate at this time as a Communist organization th e American Branch of the Federation of Greek Mari time Unions.
In your letter of January 9, 1950, you in
quire whether the designation of the Com m unist Political Association includes, as well, the constituent state and local groups, specifically the Peoples Educational and Press Association of Texas and the Virginia League for Peoples Education. The designa tion of the Communist Party, USA, and of the Communist Political Association includes not only the national organization but all state, local, regional and other subdivisions thereof.. Therefore, the Peoples Educational and Press Association of Texas and the Vir ginia League for Peoples Education were .included in the designation by Attorney General Clark in his letter to you of No vember 24, 1947.
It may well be that hereafter as well, from tim e to time, additional inquiry may arise as to the effect and scope of existing designations and in that event I shall be most happy to have you communicate with me.
