FBI Files - Eleanor Clubs 1 of  3 next

list of files

New York, N.Y.
September 29, 1942

These clubs are an actual fact. They have been started at Washington and have spread out like a fan to other sectors. It seems as though some pressure has been put upon the F.B.I. not to dig into these very deep because Mrs. F.D.R. issued a statement that the F.B.I. had investigated them and there was nothing to it.

Eleanor has been playing ball with that crowd of negroes that Congressman Dies accuses of being Communists. We mean Mary Bethune, William Pickens, Ben Davis, and a few others hanging around Washington.
