Plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment and othoequitable relief to declare that the Passport Regulations of theSecretary of State �2 C.F.R. 51.135 at seq.! as applied to theplaintiff, are unauthorized, unlawful and invalid. Plaintifffurther prays that the defendant be enjoined from interferingwith.plaintiff&#39;s travel outside the U.S., from continuing to re;fuse to grant a passport to the plaintiff, and to direct the de-fendant to issue a passport to the plaintiff forthwith.

I. ROBESON has for many years maintained closepersonal contact with a number of highly placed Sovietofficials. His frequent trips in the past years to theSoviet Union plus his contacts with the Soviet Oomunistmovement during the Spanish Civil war, accounts for partof this personal contact.

II. ROBESON first came into contact, accordingto his own statement, some years ago in Detroit withCommunist ideology as a result of his friendship withHILLIAM PATTERSON, with whom he first toured the SovietUnion and with whom he has maintained close personalrelationship for many years. PATTERSON, it should benoted, according to the informant, is one of the key pfigures in the Ben Davis faction of the GP in the NewYork area.

position of BEN DAVIS and CHARLES LOHMAN. At that timeshe indicated that while ROBESON was not a delegate tothis convention, he was in New York throughout the con-vention, although the opposite was reported to the con-vention at the time in explanation for his not being invitedto attend. Evidently, in spite of �e extreme interest inthe factional fight, he is still anxious to maintain somesemblance of personal separation from the party, at leastfor appearance sake.

IV. ROBESON has been on the West Coast for some

time. Since his arrival, a number of meetings have beenheld with key figures in the Negro comunity of the OP,including FRANK wHITLEYand PETTIS PERRY and CHARLENE MITCHELL,

This article further set forth that GILBERT C. OLOONAN,Superintendent, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hell,Pittsburgh, upon cancelling the lease for Robeson&#39;sConcert scheduled April 21, 1958, stated, �He didn&#39;t wanthis type here," and �we didn�t think it is right to havea person who won&#39;t salute his country&#39;s �ag." ~ t

�The Pittsburgh Courier," a national weekly newspaper publishedat Eittsburgh, P8,, April 12, 1953, issue, page three,columns one and two, contained an article entitled, �ChurchOpens Its Doors - Robeson Will Sing at Central Baptist," whichset forth, in pert, that PAUL ROBESON, labeled by one criticas �the Red bull butterfly of ltersry teas,� but placed highin the heroes gallery of India&#39;s Prime Minister JawaharialNehru because he has represented and suffered for a causewhich should be dear to everyone -- the cause or human _dignity -- would sing at Central Baptist Church, April 21,st 8:99 en, sccording to en ennouncenent nede this neen by �

th_e__I1_eligious Eslent §Quild_ of _ePit§§Pk"E?$P Q39292*i<=1n1�W-The article set forth ghat ROBESON, who has been most successfulin needling white America*s conscience because ofsnhst hecharges is bias against him and the rest of Americsis leastprivileged minority, will be presented in concert at the church

wit the aforementioned time, according to LEE A;lMATTHEWS,promotional secretary, and B. H.JLOGAN, president of theGuild. e /. rd/&#39; I "-"�&#39;��"&#39;�

I/2.Following an unexpected rebuff by GILBERT C. CLOONAH of&#39;theSoldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Oakland, where the concertwas originally scheduled to be held, application was made bythe promoters to two large churches - Wesley center AME Zionand Central Baptist. Previously an invitation to hold theconcert in his church was extended by the Rev. CHARLES R,GORDON, pastor of St. Matthews AME Zion Church in Sewickley,Pa. who made the gesture almost immediately after CLONANannounced that ROBESON could not sing in the Memorial Hellbecause of some citizens� and organizstions&#39;cbJections toROBESON&#39;s pro-communist leanings. .

The article noted that in most cases halls and auditoriums,both public and private, have been made available to ROBESONand that religious organizations have been his chief sponsors.

�J2&#39;1., H1. Paul Robeson, whose great gift

as a singer i matched by a talent forbitter criticism of his country, is off fora European concert tour after waiting

eight years for a passport. -The baritone is on his way because

the Supreme Court decided recently

ihat the State Department didn�t lmyethe right to deny a man a passport justbecause the Government didn&#39;t like a.

man�s view; about this country orabout Communism. " .

We thought the Supreme Court rightthen, and we think the President iswrong now to ask " ngress to pass 8law returning that �wer to the StateDepartment.

Such a law, we think, would bewrong for several reasons. For onething, we can see no reason why ea manfree to travel in any of the 48 statesshould be barred from traveling over-seas. If a man is a danger to thecountry, then the man should be triedand if convicted he should he out infail. A great many have. But if ta man

is not a danEge_1_-¢_w11hi�1&#39;1_,tl;g_ man t see ow he can sudden]

den er Hie uni nnu

__ e % co _ry o�_&#39;c_e_�9u_tside its.I� GT8. &#39; �V; _ -. � &#39;

Paid �obeson is a man with whoseopinions about this country we com-pletely disagree. But can a radicalbaritone�s voice drown out_Mr. Dulles�!Can his views threaten N.A.T.O., ornullify all the billions 0! dollars we�vespent on foreign aid to maize friends

cure indeed, and we nught he the beb-ter oft for knowing about it. � .

The fact is that Paul Robeson can&#39;t

possibly do those things. He will beacclaimed in London. pe!&#39;11.eps. torartistry and acclaimed in Moscow forhis political views. But -what off-keyremarks can Robeson make overseas

" ? 2&#39; i i ¥i1-- 591*;-*§<2!1-£f=1...k-&#39;>§..==..Tri1#§ i i w»~@ -Goody

that he hasn&#39;t said right here at home 1�And what has he said here that hasrftgot overseas? - =-- -- " -&#39;�

Our Government and private agen-cies have spent millions upon milliomof dollars to strengthen theimage ofAmerica as the land of the free. Butwill other people in other places notthink of us as the land of the fearfu

if we deny the right to travel toown critics? Surely, this is an uncoming posture for the nation, at best

And at worst, it could becomedangerous procedure. If the Govern-ment is empowered to deny Paul Robe:aon and others like him a passport be-cause they are disgruntled or criticalof our system, whet is to stop the Gov-.ernment from broadening that -powerto include those who disapprove not ofthe whole system but only of part of it?Is the next step to label critics, oi, say,foreign aid as too "dangerous" to letabroad and �to deny them passports

So far as Robeson, the individual,is concerned. it wouldn&#39;t matter verymuch to us if he found life elsewhereso enchanting he decided never to comehack here. But so far as all of us areconcerned, it should matter very mite�
