CUW:MALHr. E. Tomlin Bailey if0TE6N?EELc9W.' , "

Robeson is key figure qf.New York Qfice. at is noted Negro concert singer who has long supported the' Communist lbrty and related front groups and has likewise been outspoken in praise of the Soviet Union. In the "recent past, Robeson has become quite active in concert .and lecture appearances in the United States for which he

has been given considerable publicity. In view ofRcteson's50th birthday in 4/58, the Soviet Ensassy,various United States front organizations and several foreign countries, including mssia, Enghnd and India,are planning abirthday celebration fa? Rppesan. Nehru andIndiangovernmentsupportof.Robesgn,hasindicateds~in abovearticle, is the subject of mus ___concern by the State Department. According to State Department cables,oAll India IbuJ.Robeson Birthday Committee has been formed.This Committee is publioizing.Robeson as a great singer;actor and humanist, who has identified himself completely with the poor, the humble and the downtrodden to the point where he is looked upon as the symbol of human aspiration

and of the dignity of man. Apparently Prime s nister.Nehru has stated that Robeson was agreat friend qf India during intetendence. Although hkhru is reportedly_pushing thel R__q;_1ebrez:en,itwasindicatedthattheoriginalinspicame from England where it may be noted that numerous 92 Puul.Robeson Committees have been established for some time. State Department is currently attempting to impress lndianojficials with the factual background ojRobeson and his anti~American and pro-Soviet sympathies. State is attempting to impress upon Indian q ficials that the celebration in questionwould undoubtedly be interpretedas communist inspired, antiennerican and as evidence that India was going communist. This letter classified "Con-

,fidential" inasmuch as the information contained herein concerning the comments of.Benjamin Davis ucs obtained " through a confidential source close to Davis. The dis- -closure of the source could seriously hamper Bureau 92coverage of Communist Forty activities at the national 7 level which would in turn be prejudicial to_the national defense. . .
