REPORT  ON  THE  HONOLULU  RECORD 

The  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities,  after  an  investigation 
and  analysis  of  the  Honolulu  Record,  owned  and  published  by  the 
Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  hereby  submits  this  report  con- 
cerning the  publication  to  the  House  of  Representatives. 

Ownership 

The  Articles  of  Association  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co., 
Ltd.  (exhibit  No.  1),^  filed  with  the  office  of  the  treasurer,  Territory  of 
Hawaii,  on  August  27, 1948,  reflect  that  the  Honolulu  Record  Publish- 
ing Co.,  Ltd.,  was  officially  incorporated  on  that  date,  with  the  first 
officers  and  directors  of  the  organization  as  follows : 

President — Koji  Ariyoshi 

Vice  president — Lewis  K.  Yogi 

Secretary — Cyril  Bristow 

Treasurer — Adrian  Palomino 

Director — Nobuyuki  Matsuzaki  

The  amount  of  $50,000,  to  be  divided  into  10,000  shares  of  common 
stock  at  a  par  value  of  $5  per  share,  was  set  forth  as  the  authorized 
capital  of  said  corporation. 

The  affidavit  of  officers  (exhibit  No.  2),^  filed  with  the  treasurer's 
office.  Territory  of  Hawaii,  on  August  26,  1948,  discloses  that  7,881  of 
the  10,000  shares  of  stock  were  subscribed  to.  This  same  exhibit  re- 
flects that  only  1.007  shares  of  the  subscribed  common  stock  were  ever 
paid  for  (a  total  sum  of  $5,035).  The  unpaid  subscribed  stock, 
amounting  to  6,874  shares,  is  in  the  name  of  Koji  Ariyoshi.  Thus,  this 
exhibit  discloses  that  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.  began  its 
operations  with  total  cash  assets  of  $5,035. 

On  the  annual  corporation  exhibit  (exhibit  No.  3),^  filed  by  the  Ho- 
nolulu Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  for  the  period  August  26,  1948, 
through  August  31, 1949,  it  is  significant  to  note  that  at  the  end  of  the 
first  year  of  operation,  it  could  show  an  increase  of  353  paid-up  shares 
of  stock  (value,  $1,765).  Paid-up  stock  in  the  corporation  then 
amounted  to  $6,800. 

The  annual  corporation  exhibit  also  reflects  a  net  operating  loss  for 
the  first  year  of  $2,351.91.  This  exhibit  further  discloses  that  the  total 
net  worth  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  as  of  August 
31,  1949,  was  $4,548.09. 

Out  of  a  total  of  8,133  subscribed  shares  of  stock,  valued  at  $40,665, 
the  exhibit  reveals  that  7,500  shares,  worth  $37,500,  were  subscribed 
to  by  Koji  Ariyoshi,  editor  of  the  Honolulu  Record  and  president  of 
the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.  However,  this  exhibit  re- 
flects that  the  total  amount  actually  invested  by  Ariyoshi  is  $3,635,  or

2  REPORT    ON   THE    HONOLULU   RECORD 

727  shares  purchased  and  paid  for  by  him.  He  is  indebted  to  the  Ho- 
nolulu Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  in  the  amount  of  $33,865,  covering 
6,773  shares  of  common  stock  as  subscribed  to  by  him. 

Ariyoshi's  present  position  as  editor  of  the  Honolulu  Record  fits  in 
well  with  his  background.  He  is  probably  one  of  the  best  qualified 
persons  in  Hawaii  to  propagandize  the  Communist  Party  line  through 
the  medium  of  the  press. 

Koji  Ariyoshi  was  born  on  January  30,  1914,  at  Koma,  T.  H.  He 
attended  the  University  of  Hawaii  from  1937  to  1940,  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Georgia  during  the  1940-41  term,  where  he  received  his 
bachelor's  degree  in  journalism.  He  enlisted  in  the  United  States 
Army  at  Manzanar  Relocation  Center  on  November  30,  1942.  In 
January  1944  he  departed  for  the  China-Burma-India  theater  where 
he  was  assigned  to  psychological  warfare  work.  He  was  commissioned 
a  second  lieutenant  in  June  of  1945  and  remained  in  the  same  type 
of  work  until  January  5,  1946,  when  his  request  to  be  discharged  in 
China  was  granted.  Subsequent  to  his  discharge,  he  became  employed 
with  the  OWI  as  a  field  representative. 

Ariyoshi's  reaction  concerning  his  experiences  in  Communist  China 
are  somewhat  reflected  in  an  article  appearing  under  his  name  in  the 
February  1947  issue  of  Spotlight  on  the  Far  East,  published  by  the 
Committee  for  a  Democratic  Far  Eastern  Policy,  which  has  been 
cited  as  Communist  by  Attorney  General  Tom  C.  Clark.  In  this  issue 
he  wrote  a  guest  column  in  support  of  the  Chinese  Communists.  The 
March  and  June  1949  issues  of  Far  East  Spotlight,  successor  to 
Spotlight  on  the  Far  East,  lists  Ariyoshi  as  a  consultant  to  the  Com- 
mittee for  a  Democratic  Far  Eastern  Policy.  This  magazine  has 
consistently  supported  the  Chinese  Communists. 

The  Hawaii  Star  of  April  23,  1948,  reflects  that  a  progress  report 
on  the  New  York  Chapter  of  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee 
was  made  by  Koji  Ariyoshi,  one  of  the  founders  of  this  chapter,  at 
an  HCLC  meeting  in  Honolulu  on  April  20,  1948.  The  HCLC  was 
cited  as  being  Communist  by  the  Attorney  General  of  the  United 
States  on  April  28,  1949.    The  HCLC  was  also  cited  as— 

a  subversive  organization  initiated  and  operated  by  Communists  for  the  sole 
purpose  of  expanding  the  influence  of  the  small  Communist  minority  in  the 
Territory  of  Hawaii — 

by  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  in  a  report  to  the  House 
of  Representatives  on  June  23,  1950  (made  H.  Rept.  2986,  August  24, 
1950). 

In  view  of  the  foregoing,  it  is  not  surprising  to  find  that  Ariyoshi 
uses  the  Honolulu  Record  to  promote  the  Chinese  Communists  and 
the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee. 

Listed  in  the  annual  corporation  exhibit  (exhibit  No.  3)*  as  a 
member  of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing 
Co.,  Ltd.,  and  holder  of  seven  shares  of  stock  is  Adele  Kensinger,  re- 
siding at  1658  Piikoi  Street,  Honolulu.  During  the  hearings  of  the 
subcommittee  of  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  in  Hono- 
lulu during  April  1950,  four  individuals  identified  Adele  Kensinger 
as  a  member  of  the  Communist  Party. 

Former  Communist  Richard  Kageyama  testified  on  April  10,  1950, 
that  Adele  Kensinger  was  a  memoer  of  the  Makiki  branch  of  the 


*  See  appendix,  pp.  24-29. 


REPORT   ON   THE   HONOLULU    RECORD  6 

Communist  Party.  Testimony  of  Harry  Kuhia,  Jr.,  and  Donald 
Uesugi,  former  Conmiunists,  on  April  12,  1950,  also  identified  Adele 
Kensinger  as  attending  meetings  of  the  Communist  Party.  On  April 
13,  1950,  Masao  Mori  testified  that  he  observed  Adele  Kensinger  at  a 
party  meeting  which  he  attended.  Masao  Mori  severed  connections 
with  the  Communist  Party  after  receiving  a  Communist  Party  card. 

Adele  Kensinger  appeared  as  a  witness  under  subpena  before  the 
subcommittee  on  April  17,  1950,  at  which  time  she  refused  to  either 
deny  or  affirm  testimony  concerning  her  Communist  affiliations  on 
grounds  of  self-incrimination.  Investigations  by  the  committee  re- 
flect that  Mrs.  Kensinger  was  a  member  of  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties 
Committee  and  at  one  time  was  a  member  of  the  organization  com- 
mittee of  the  HCLC  when  it  was  headed  by  Marshall  McEuen. 

According  to  Soviet  Russia  Today  for  July  1947  (p.  3),  Mrs. 
Kensinger  referred  to  this  pro-Soviet  publication  as  her  "favorite 
magazine"  and  described  how  she  secured  100  subscriptions  to  it. 

She  also  has  contributed  byline  articles  to  the  Honolulu  Record. 
One  of  interest  appears  on  page  7  of  the  issue  of  June  2,  1949,  under 
the  title,  "Pressure  for  Peace  Breaks  Through  Gags  of  Reaction."  In 
this  article  Mrs.  Kensinger  criticized  in  one  instance  the  action  of 
the  United  States  Government  in  its  first  refusal  to  issue  to  Dr.  Hewlett 
Johnson  a  visa  to  enter  the  United  States.  She  said  in  the  article  that 
Dr.  Johnson,  known  as  the  Red  Dean  of  Canterbury,  desired  to  enter 
the  country  "to  speak  for  peace."  She  further  stated,  "The  indig- 
nation of  the  American  people  altered  that  decision     *     *     *." 

Mrs.  Kensinger's  reason  for  the  refusal  of  the  first  visa  to  Dr. 
Johnson  is  completely  erroneous ;  however,  her  views  paralleled  those 
expressed  in  the  Communist  press.  According  to  Government  records, 
Dr.  Johnson  was  refused  a  visa  because  he  was  being  sponsored  in  the 
United  States  by  the  National  Council  of  American  Soviet  Friend- 
ship, a  subversive  and  Communist-dominated  organization  cited  by 
both  the  Attorney  General  of  the  United  States  and  the  Committee  on 
Un-American  Activities.  "WTien  the  sponsorship  of  Dr.  Johnson  was 
withdrawn  by  the  National  Council  of  Afnerican  Soviet  Friendship,  a 
visa  was  issued  and  Dr.  Johnson  was  allowed  to  enter  the  United  States 
and  advance  his  ideologies  in  support  of  communism. 

In  the  afore-mentioned  article  Mrs.  Kensinger  also  supports  Frederic 
Joliot-Curie,  director  of  France's  atomic  energy  project.  However, 
she  fails  to  mention  that  Curie  is  a  member  of  the  Communist  Party. 
He  was  recently  removed  from  his  position  as  director  of  the  atomic 
energy  project  in  France. 

Howard  Fast  is  also  quoted  in  this  article  by  Mrs.  Kensinger  as 
writing  a  factual  review  of  the  Peace  Conference  in  Paris.  Mr.  Fast 
is  a  pro-Communist  writer  who  was  cited  for  contempt  of  Congress  in 
1946  for  refusing  to  produce  records  of  the  Communist-dominated 
front  organization  known  as  the  Joint  Anti-Fascist  Refugee  Com- 
mittee. He  was  convicted  in  Federal  courts  on  July  16,  1947,  and  has 
recently  been  jailed  following  a  Supreme  Court  decision  upholding  his 
conviction. 

It  also  might  be  noted  in  regard  to  the  afore-mentioned  Peace  Con- 
ference that  Paul  Robeson  there  made  the  infamous  remark  that  the 
American  Negro  would  never  support  the  United  States  in  the  event 
of  war  against  Russia.     This  statement  of  Mr.  Robeson's  has  since 


4  REPORT   ON   THE    HONOLULU   RECORD 

been  repudiated  by  responsible  Negro  leaders  throughout  the  United 
States. 

Cyril  Bristow,  of  2357-C  Palolo  Avenue,  Honolulu,  is  listed  as 
secretary-treasurer  (exhibit  No.  3)  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publish- 
ing Co.,  Ltd,  The  affidavit  of  officers  (exhibit  No.  2),  dated  August 
26,  1948,  lists  Cyril  Bristow  as  owning  six  shares  in  the  Honolulu 
Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.  The  annual  corporation  exhibit  (ex- 
hibit No.  3),  filed  with  the  treasurer's  office.  Territory  of  Hawaii,  on 
December  8, 1949,  discloses  Bristow  owns  18  shares  of  stock,  a  purchase 
increase  of  12  shares  since  his  original  purchase  as  reflected  by  ex- 
hibit No.  2. 

A  souvenir  journal  of  the  Labor  Canteen,  located  at  830  Richards 
Street,  Honolulu,  on  the  occasion  of  its  formal  opening  on  August 
19,  1945,  lists  Cyril  Bristow  as  chairman  of  its  publicity  committee, 
with  his  former  wife,  Elizabeth  Bristow,  an  identified  member  of  the 
Communist  Party,  as  chairman  of  its  temporary  committees. 

Among  those  identified  as  Communists  by  former  members  of  the 
Communist  Party  during  the  hearings  of  the  Committee  on  Un-Ameri- 
can Activities  in  Honolulu  were  the  following  1945  officers  of  the  Labor 
Canteen :  Jack  Hall,  chairman ;  Doris  Ozaki,  secretary ;  Elizabeth 
Bristow,  chairman  of  the  progress  committee;  Alice  Hyun,  finance 
committee;  Ah  Quon  McElrath,  finance  committee;  Ralph  Voss- 
brink,  finance  committee ;  and  Doris  Ozaki,  program  book. 

The  Truth  About  Communism  in  Hawaii,  a  pamphlet  written  by 
Ichiro  Izuka,  was  entered  into  the  official  record  of  the  Committee  on 
Un-American  Activities  during  its  hearings  in  Honolulu  on  April  11, 
1950.  Mr.  Izuka,  on  page  29  of  this  exhibit,  refers  to  the  Labor  Can- 
teen in  the  following  manner : 

Just  as  the  Communist  Party  uses  workers  and  their  labor  organizations  to 
cari^y  out  the  program  of  the  Communist  Party,  so  do  they  use  middle  class, 
"parlor  pinlrs"  and  so-called  liberals  and  intellectuals.  This  policy  is  exemplified 
by  the  Labor  Canteen  set  up  during  the  war,  which  in  turn  gave  birth  to  the 
Hawaii  Association  for  Civic  Unity.  Fellow  Traveler  innocents,  like  Dr.  Rade- 
maker,  had  insisted  that  it  was  not  the  Communist  Party  but  the  Labor  Canteen 
that  gave  leadership  in  HACU.  Well,  I  can  only  tell  you  what  I  know.  While 
the  Waikiki  Group  was  still  in  existence,  Ralph  Vossbrink  made  an  oflBcial,  though 
verbal,  report  to  that  group.  He  said  that  the  Executive  Board  of  the  Communist 
Party  had  assigned  the  Kairauki  Group  the  job  of  infiltrating  into,  and  giving 
leadership  to,  the  Labor  Canteen  and  HACU.  This  assignment  was  made  to  the 
Kaimuki  Group  because  they  had  no  direct  connections  with  labor  unions,  and 
were  supposed  to  be  intellectuals. 

On  January  22,  1946,  the  Honorable  George  A.  Dondero  made  the 
following  statement  in  regard  to  the  Labor  Canteen : 

The  Labor  Canteen  in  Honolulu,  which  hns  been  a  hotbed  of  Communist  propa- 
ganda among  the  soldiers  stationed  in  the  vicinity,  is  twlay  the  headquarters  of 
the  .so-called  Oahu  Servicemen's  Committee  for  Speedier  Demobilization.  The 
head  of  this  canteen  is  Ewart  G.  Guinier,  a  well-known  New  York  Communist, 
fired  by  the  New  York  Civil  Service  Commission  in  June  1942. 

Mr.  Bristow  is  presently  married  to  Esther  Bristow,  treasurer  of 
the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee,  a  Communist-dominated  and 
controlled  organization  which  has  been  cited  as  a  Communist  front  by 
the  Attorney  General  of  the  United  States  and  the  Committee  on  Un- 
American  Activities.  Mr.  Bristow  is  also  a  member  of  the  Hawaii 
Civil  Liberties  Committee. 

The  annual  corporation  exhibit  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing 
Ca,  Ltd.  (exhibit  No.  3),  reflects  that  Adrian  Palomino,  3202  East 


REPORT   ON   THE   HONOLULU    RECORD  5 

Manoa  Road,  Honolulu,  is  vice  president  of  the  publishing  company. 
The  same  exhibit  discloses  that  Adrian  Palomino  is  the  owner  of  36 
shares  of  stock  in  the  organization. 

With  further  reference  to  Adrian  Palomino,  the  following  affidavit 
(exhibit  No.  4)  was  secured  from  Mr.  Ichiro  Izuka  on  June  2,  1950, 
setting  forth  his  knowledge  regarding  Mr.  Palomino's  Communist 
activities : 

Affidavit  of  Ichiro  Izuka 

Territory  of  Hawaii, 

City  and  County  of  Honolulu,  ss: 

Ichiro  Izuka,  being  first  duly  sworn  on  oath,  deposes  and  says : 
That  he  is  a  resident  of  the  county  of  Kauai,  Territory  of  Hawaii,  with  mailing 
address  Post  OflBce  Box  27,  Hanapepe,  Kauai,  T.  H.,  and  is  the  person  of  the  name 
Ichiro  Izuka  who  testified  before  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  of  the 
United  States  House  of  Representatives,  sitting  in  Honolulu,  T.  H.,  on  April  10, 
1950,  and  on  later  occasions ; 

That  from  1938  until  about  October  20, 1946,  aflSant  was  a  member  in  good  stand- 
ing of  the  Communist  Party  in  the  Territory  of  Hawaii ;  that  from  the  time  of 
the  postwar  reactivation  of  the  Communist  Pai-ty  in  the  Territory  of  Hawaii  in 
November  1945,  until  affiant  left  the  Communist  Party  about  October  20,  1946, 
affiant  was  a  member  of  and  served  as  treasurer  of  the  so-called  Miscellaneous 
Group  of  the  Communist  Party  in  Honolulu ;  that  Ralph  Vossbrink  was  also  a 
member  of  that  group  and  also  held  the  office  of  literatui-e  director  thereof  ; 

That  at  a  date  which  affiant  believes  to  have  been  in  the  first  half  of  1946, 
affiant  attended  a  meeting  of  said  Miscellaneous  Group  at  the  home  of  Elizabeth 
Bristow  in  the  Waikiki  section  of  Honolulu,  and  affiant  recalls  that  among  other 
Communist  Party  members  of  the  group  present  at  the  same  meeting  were  Ralph 
A'ossbrink,  Jack  W.  Hall,  Robert  McElrath,  Koichi  Imori,  Ralph  Tokunaga,  Ernest 
Arena,  and  Elizabeth  Bristow ;  that  at  said  meeting  among  other  matters  con- 
sidered was  an  oral  report  made  by  Ralph  Vossbrink,  which  report  affiant  recalls 
to  have  been  substantially  as  follows  : 

That  Vossbrink  knew  a  man  by  the  name  of  Adrian  Palomino  and  knew  the 

latter  to  be  a  member  of  the  Communist  Party ;  that  Palomino  was  or  had 

been  a  member  of  the  United  States  armed  forces,  and  would  therefore  be 

entitled  to  the  loan  guarantee  privileges  of  the  so-called  GI  bill  of  rights 

should  he  desire  to  go  into  business  for  himself ;  that  Palomino  had  told 

Vossbrink  that  he   (Palomino)   was  willing  to  use  his  GI  loan  guarantee 

privilege  to  finance  the  establishment  in  Honolulu  of  a  "progressive  book 

shop" ;  and,  that  Palomino  planned  that  such  book  shop  would  sell  Marxist 

and  other  left-wing  literature; 

The  said  report  by  Vossbrink  was  rendered  as  an  official  report  to  a  meeting 

of  the  Miscellaneous  Group  of  the  Communist  Party  and  in  the  course  of  Voss- 

brink's  duties  as  literature  director  of  the  group;  that  the  report  was  then  put 

up  for  discussion  at  the  meeting ;  that  the  sentiment  of  all  those  present  at  the 

meeting  was  that  Palomino's  proposed  plan  was  definitely  in  the  best  interests  of 

the  Communist  Party  and  that  he  should  be  encouraged  to  go  through  with  the 

plan; 

That  affiant  did  not  then  know  Palomino  personally  and  has  never  met  him, 
and  knows  of  no  other  information  that  would  connect  Palomino  with  Commu- 
nist Party  activities  or  membership ; 

And  further  affiant  sayeth  not,  except  that  this  affidavit  is  given  at  the  request 
of  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  of  the  United  States  House  of 
Representatives.

Ray  Jerome  Baker,  911  Kalakana,  Honolulu,  owns  a  block  of  40 
shares  of  stock  in  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.  (exhibit 
No.  3),  valued  at  $200.  In  reviewing  Mr.  Baker's  background,  his 
financial  support  of  this  publication  is  easily  understandable. 


6  REPORT    ON   THE    HONOLULU   RECORD 

The  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation  identified  Ray  J.  Baker  as  a 
member  of  the  Communist  Party  in  1941,  when  a  schematic  diagram 
was  drawn  up  by  the  Honohilu  Field  Division  of  the  FBI,  entitled 
''Communist  Activities  in  the  Territory  of  Hawaii."  Said  diagram 
was  entered  as  item  32  in  the  proceeding  of  the  Roberts  Report,  part 
25,  of  the  hearings  before  the  Joint  Committee  on  the  Investigation  of 
the  Pearl  Harbor  Attack.  It  is  to  be  noted  in  this  report  that  Mr. 
Baker  is  designated  for  custodial  detention. 

Documentation  of  Mr,  Baker's  support  of  the  Communist  press  will 
be  found  in  the  Daily  People's  World,  the  Communist  Party's  official 
newspaper  on  the  Pacific  coast,  on  August  24,  1943  (exhibit  No.  5),^ 
wherein  he  is  quoted  as  follows : 

Congratulations  and  good  wishes  for  your  continued  success  in  getting  out  an 
A-1  worliing  class  paper.     In  these  times,  the  PW  is  needed  more  than  ever. 

Again,  in  the  issue  of  Wednesday,  February  4,  1948,  he  states  that 
he  is  a  subscriber  to  the  Communist  Daily  People's  World  (exhibit 
No.  6).« 

Mr.  Baker,  in  the  Sunday  Honolulu  Advertiser  of  December  4,  1949, 
under  the  heading  "Letters  from  the  people,"  criticizes  the  efforts  of 
the  Territorial  residents  in  combatting  communism.  He  writes  in  de- 
fense of  "two  excellent  and  needed  teachers  who  lost  their 
jobs  *  *  *."  The  letter  in  its  entirety  can  be  reviewed  in  the  afore- 
mentioned newspaper.  The  Honolulu  Record  of  February  24,  1949, 
and  of  September  22,  1949,  printed  byline  articles  written  by  Ray 
Jerome  Baker. 

Any  remaining  doubt  of  Mr.  Baker's  Communist  convictions  should 
be  dispelled  by  a  letter  which  he  wrote  under  date  of  February  1, 
1947,  and  which  is  reproduced  as  exhibit  No.  7  ^  in  this  report.  In 
this  letter,  it  will  be  noted,  Mr.  Baker  virtually  identifies  himself  as  a 
Communist. 

Wo  Leong Ho  (Wallace  Ho),  510  Bush  Street,  San  Francisco,  Calif., 
according  to  the  annual  corporation  exhibit  of  the  Honolulu  Record 
Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  (exhibit  No.  3),  is  the  owner  of  100  shares  of 
stock  in  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.,  valued  at  $500. 

Mr.  Ho  was  identified  as  a  member  of  the  Communist  Party  during 
the  hearings  conducted  by  the  subcommittee  of  the  Committee  on  Un- 
American  Activities  in  Honolulu  from  April  10  to  April  19,  1950. 
Documentation  of  Mr.  Ho's  Communist  membership  will  be  found  in 
the  testimony  of  Mr.  Ichiro  Izuka  during  the  hearings  of  the  commit- 
tee on  April  10,  wherein  a  letter  was  introduced  into  the  record  as 
follows : 

Honolulu,  T.  H.,  November  18,  1946. 
Dear  Comrade  :  You  are  hereby  notified  that  charges  have  been  placed  against 
you  by  the  Territorial  executive  board  of  the  Communist  Party  of  the  United 
States  of  America,  for  your  direct  violation  of  our  article  4,  section  2,   and 
article  9,  section  1,  of  our  constitution. 

For  the  immediate  disposal  of  your  case,  the  trial  committee  will   meet  on 
Sunday,  November  24,  1946,  at  2  p.  m.,  at  62  Laimi  Road,  Honolulu,  T.  H.     In 
accordance  with  our  constitution  you  have  the  fullest  rights  to  appear  before  this 
committee  to  defend  yourself  from  any  injustice. 
Yours  truly, 

Wallace  Ho, 
Chairman  of  the  Trial  Board.

REPORT    ON   THE    HONOLULU    RECORD  7 

The  afore-mentioned  letter  was  introduced  as  "Izuka  Exhibit  17" 
and  appears  on  page  1419,  Hearings  Regarding  Communist  Activities 
in  the  Territory  of  Hawaii — Part  1. 

According  to  the  annual  corporation  exhibit  of  the  Honolulu  Record 
Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  Denichi  Kimoto,  2126  Makamani  Drive,  Hono- 
lulu, is  in  receipt  of  106  shares  of  stock,  valued  at  $530.  Mr.  Kimoto 
was  identified  before  the  subcommittee  of  the  Committee  on  Un- 
American  Activities  during  the  hearings  in  Hawaii  as  a  member  of  the 
Communist  Party.  According  to  testimony,  he  attended  a  Communist 
Party  school  in  California  during  the  middle  thirties  and  was  sent  to 
Hawaii  in  1938  as  organizer  for  the  Communist  Party. 

The  subcommittee  produced  evidence  of  Mr.  Kimoto's  membership 
in  the  Communist  Party  in  1937  and  1938,  and  established  that  he 
used  the  party  name  of  Roy  Lane  during  that  period.  Mr.  Kimoto, 
in  his  appearance  before  tlie  subcommittee  on  April  18,  1950,  refused 
to  answer  all  questions  regarding  his  Communist  Party  membership 
on  groimds  of  self-incrimination. 

The  Honolulu  Record,  since  its  inception,  has  given  fayorable 
publicity  to  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee,  and  has  printed 
byline  articles  by  the  officers  of  the  HCLC.  The  mutual  coopera- 
tion between  the  HCLC  and  the  Honolulu  Record  is  based  on  more 
than  mutual  Communist  sympathies.  The  annual  corporation  exhibit 
of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publishing  Co.,  Ltd.,  discloses  that  tlie  HCLC 
owns  10  shares  of  stock,  valued  at  $50,  in  the  publishing  company. 
This  transaction  was  thoroughly  documented  by  exhibits  introduced 
into  the  record  of  the  subcommittee  of  the  Comrhittee  on  LTn-Ameri- 
can  Activities  during  the  hearings  in  Honolulu,  and  the  original  can- 
celed check  disclosing  payment  for  the  stock  was  entered  as  an 
exhibit.® 

Additional  individuals  who  own  stock  in  the  Honolulu  Record  and 
who  were  identified  as  members  of  the  Communist  Party  before  the 
Committee  on  LTn-American  Activities  during  the  recent  hearings 
in  Honolulu  are:  John  Ellas,  Jr.,  165  Sixteenth  Street,  CHA-3, 
Honolulu,  one  share;  Frank  Maehara,  815-C  Kanou  Street,  Honolulu, 
four  shares;  Doris  Ozaki,  933  Seventeenth  Street,  Honolulu,  four 
shares;  Eileen  Fujimoto,  1526  Kaihee  Street,  Honolulu,  one  share. 

The  1949  annual  corporation  exhibit  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Pub- 
lishing Co.,  Ltd.,  lists  Gottfried  Seitz,  2357-C  Palolo  Avenue,  Hono- 
lulu, as  a  member  of  the  board  of  directors  and  holder  of  5  shares 
of  stock  of  the  company.  Mr.  Seitz  was  also  chairman  of  the  legal 
action  committee  of  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee  in  1949. 

Mr.  Seitz,  however,  has  informed  the  Committee  on  LTn-American 
Activities  that  he  severed  his  relations  with  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties 
Committee  in  May  1949,  and  also  discontinued  his  connections  with 
the  Honolulu  Record  as  an  officer  and  stockholder  as  of  September 
1950. 

A  breakdown  of  the  ownership  of  the  Honolulu  Record  Publish- 
ing Co.,  Ltd.,  discloses  that  out  of  a  total  of  8,133  subscribed 
shares  of  capital  common  stock,  7,830  shares  are  subscribed  to  by 
members  of  the  Communist  Party  or  a  front  of  the  Communist  Party. 

From  the  foregoing,  it  is  apparent  that  the  Honolulu  Record  is 
securely  within  the  orbit  of  control  by  the  Communist  Party.

8  REPORT   ON   THE    HONOLULU    RECORD 

Utilization  of  Communist  Press  Services 

-  n 

This  publication  utilizes  the  articles  of  such  well-known  Communist 
press  services  as  the  Federated  Press  and  the  Allied  Labor  News. 
The  cartoons  appearing  in  the  Honolulu  Record  are  by  artists  serving 
the  Communist  press  and  are  distributed  by  the  Federated  Press. 

The  Special  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  on  March  29, 
1944,  cited  the  Federated  Press — 

as  a  Communist-controlled  organization  financed  by  the  American  Fund  for 
Public  Service  and  the  Robert  Marshall  Foundation,  both  principal  sources  of 
funds  for  Communist  enterprises. 

Numerous  references  to  Federated  Press  occur  in  testimony  before 
the  Special  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities.  The  following 
reference  is  quoted  from  the  public  testimony  of  Walter  S.  Steele 
before  the  committee  on  July  21, 1947 : 

The  Allied  Labor  News  Service  is  an  international  Communist  service.  It 
has  correspondents  in  foreign  countries,  and  it  serves  Communist  publications. 
It  augments,  rather  than  competes  vi^ith,  the  Federated  Press,  vphich  deals  with 
local  and  national  events. 

*  ♦  *  Reds  and  Red  fronters  control  many  of  the  publications  circulated 
in  labor  circles.  Their  writers  have  taken  over  the  editorial  columns,  and 
articles  are  contributed  in  many  instances  by  outright  Communists.  Most  of 
these  publications  are  served  l)y  the  FVderated  Press  or  the  Allied  Labor  News 
Service,  both  of  which  have  long  been  infiltrated  if  not  actually  controlled  by 
the  Communists. 

The  Washington  Daily  News,  November  10,  1947,  contained  an 
article  by  Fred  W.  Perkins,  which  quoted  the  AFL's  Weekly  News 
Service  as  follows : 

"The  International  Labor  Press  Association  at  its  convention  in  San  Francisco 
voted  not  to  use  the  Federated  Press  news  service  on  the  grounds  that  it  is 
edited  along  the  lines  of  the  Communist  Party  policy. 

"The'AFL  has  long  held  the  same  view  with  regard  to  the  Federated  Press. 
We,  therefore,  urge  all  the  loyal  affiliated  labor  press  not  to  subscribe  to  the 
Federated  Press  or  use  its  services." 

The  Honolulu  Record  has  carried  Federated  Press  articles  written 
by: 

Carl  Haessler^  who  in  1935  was  an  instructor  at  the  Communist 
Workers  School  in  Chicago  and  a  contributor  to  the  Daily  Worker, 
official  Communist  Party  organ.  He  traveled  to  Europe  in  October 
1927,  where  he  attended  the  tenth  anniversary  of  the  Russian  Revolu- 
tion in  Moscow. 

Johannes  Steel,  who  since  1937  has  been  a  consistent  contributor  to 
newspapers  and  periodicals  serving  the  Communist  cause.  He  has 
contributed  to  Fight,  official  organ  of  the  cited  Communist  front, 
American  League  Against  War  and  Fascism,  later  known  as  the 
American  League  for  Peace  and  Democracy ;  to  Soviet  Russia  Today, 
a  magazine  published  by  the  Friends  of  Soviet  Russia,  a  cited  Com- 
munist front;  to  Far  East  Spotlight,  the  monthly  publication  of  the 
cited  Committee  for  a  Democratic  Far  Eastern  Policy;  to  Slavic 
American,  a  publication  of  the  American  Slav  Congress,  also  a  cited 
Communist  front ;  and  to  the  Daily  Worker  and  Daily  People's  World, 
both  official  organs  of  the  Communist  Party. 

Harold  J.  Saleinson,  who  in  1947  was  charged  as  a  holder  of  a  Com- 
munist Party  membership  book  by  the  Hollywood  Reporter,  which 
also  identified  Salemson  as  Hollywood  correspondent  for  the  French 


REPORT   ON   THE   HONOLULU    RECORD  9 

Communist  newspaper,  Ce  Soir.  He  was  also  the  signer  of  a  call  to  the 
Fourth  Congress  of  the  League  of  American  Writers,  a  cited  Com- 
munist front  in  New  York  City,  on  June  6-8,  1941.  Salemson  in 
1946  w^as  listed  as  an  instructor  at  the  Peoples  Educational  Center 
which  the  Attorney  General  of  the  United  States  cited — 

as  a  subversive  and  Communist  organization  incorporated  under  the  name  Los 
Angeles  Educational  Association,  Inc. 

Fred  Zeserson^  who  according  to  the  records  of  this  committee  was 
in  1948  a  member  of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Committee  for  a 
Democratic  Far  Eastern  Policy,  which  has  been  cited  by  the  Attorney 
General  of  the  United  States  as  a  Communist  organization.  In  1949 
he  was  listed  as  a  member  of  its  editorial  committee.  He  has  con- 
tributed articles  to  the  Far  East  Spotlight,  official  publication  of  the 
Committee  for  a  Democratic  Far  Eastern  Policy. 

Stetson  Kennedy^  a  sponsor  of  the  National  Non-Partisan  Commit- 
tee to  Defend  the  Rights  of  the  12  Communist  Leaders.  He  has  been 
a  guest  speaker  before  the  Communist-cited  Civil  Rights  Congress, 
and  has  signed  an  open  letter  to  the  Congress  of  the  United  States 
under  the  sponsorship  of  the  Civil  Rights  Congress. 

Ed  Hugh-s,  a  sports  writer  for  the  Federated  Press  and  the  Daily 
People's  World,  Communist  paper  on  the  Pacific  coast. 

■Richard  Sasuly^  Washington  correspondent.  Federated  Press,  who 
has  voiced  the  Communist  Party  line  in  his  articles,  which  are  dis- 
tributed to  the  Communist  press  throughout  the  United  States.  His 
record  in  relation  to  subversive  activities  can  be  found  in  the  Con- 
gressional Record  of  February  28, 1949,  page  A1155. 

The  majority  of  cartoons  printed  in  the  Honolulu  Record  are  those 
drawn  by  Ben  Yomen,  Fred  Wright,  and  A.  Redfield.  These  artists 
supply  cartoons  to  the  Communist  press  on  the  mainland.  For  ex- 
ample, a  cartoon  which  appeared  in  the  Honolulu  Record  of  February 
23,  1950  (exhibit  No.  8),^  was  reproduced  in  the  magazine  section  of 
the  Worker,  official  organ  of  the  Communist  Party,  February  26,  1950 
(exhibit  No.  9).^°  A  cartoon  by  A.  Redfield  appeared  in  the  Novem- 
ber 11, 1948,  issue  of  the  Honolulu  Record  (exhibit  No.  10)."  A  car- 
toon by  the  same  individual  appears  in  the  Daily  People's  World  of 
March  13,  1948  (exhibit  No.  ll).^^ 

Ben  Yomen's  cartoons  set  a  pattern  of  ridiculing  the  Congress  of 
the  United  States  and  appear  regularly  in  the  Honolulu  Record. 
For  an  example,  see  Honolulu  Record,  September  9,  1948  (exhibit  No. 
12)."  A  similar  cartoon  by  Yomen  was  printed  in  the  Daily  Worker 
of  April  25,  1947  (exhibit  No.  13),

10  REPORT  ON  THE  HONOLULU  RECORD 

Among  those  whose  by-lines  appear  over  stories  in  the  Honoluhi 
Record  are : 

'Wilfred  OJca^  whose  sports  column  appears  every  week  in  the  sub- 
versive publication.  Mr.  Oka  was  identified  as  a  Communist  Party 
member  by  two  former  Communists  in  testimony  before  a  subcom- 
mittee of  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  in  April  1950. 
Three  other  former  holders  of  Communist  Party  membership  cards 
identified  Mr.  Oka  as  having  attended  Communist  Party  meetings. 
Mr.  Oka  has  also  been  affiliated  with  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Com- 
mittee. When  subpenaed  to  appear  before  the  subcommittee  of  the 
Committee  on  Un-American  Activities,  Mr.  Oka  refused  to  affirm  or 
deny  his  Communist  associations  on  the  ground  of  self-incrimination. 

Stephen  Murin.,  who  is  the  present  chairman  of  the  Hawaii  Civil 
Liberties  Committee.  Mr.  Murin  was  identified  as  an  active  Com- 
munist Party  member  by  Matthew  Cvetic,  an  FBI  undercover  agent 
v/ithin  the  Communist  Party,  in  testimony  before  the  Committee 
on  Un-American  Activities  on  February  23,  1950.  The  files  of  the 
committee  also  show  that  Mr.  Murin  was  engaged  in  Communist 
activities  in  Pennsylvania,  the  State  of  which  he  is  a  native.  In  an 
appearance  before  a  subcommittee  of  the  Committee  on  Un-American 
Activities,  Mr.  Murin  refused  to  answer  questions  relating  to  Com- 
munist Party  membership  on  the  ground  of  self-incrimination. 

John  Reinecke,  identified  as  treasurer  of  the  central  committee  of 
the  Communist  Party  in  Hawaii  and  as  a  member  of  the  party's  Terri- 
torial executive  board.  Four  former  Communists  outlined  Mr.  Rein- 
ecke's  leading  role  in  Communist  activities,  in  hearings  held  by  a  sub- 
committee of  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  in  Honolulu 
in  April  1950.  When  called  before  the  subcommittee,  Mr.  Reinecke 
refused  to  answer  any  questions  related  to  his  Communist  activity  on 
the  ground  of  self-incrimination.  Prior  to  the  subcommittee  hearings, 
Mr.  Reinecke  had  been  dismissed  from  a  teaching  position  in  the 
Territory  on  the  basis  of  his  subversive  affiliations. 

Robert  Greene^  who  not  only  wrote  for  the  Honolulu  Record  but 
also  served  as  city  editor  of  the  publication  in  1948.  Mr.  Greene,  ac- 
cording to  the  files  of  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities, 
attended  several  Communist  indoctrination  courses  in  Hawaii  and,  at 
one  time,  conducted  a  class  of  his  own  in  basic  Marxism.  Former 
Communist  Donald  Uesugi  has  named  Mr.  Greene  as  being  present 
at  a  Communist  Party  meeting;  Mr.  Uesugi  testified  before  a  sub- 
committee of  the  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  in  April  1950. 
Mr.  Greene  has  served  as  chairman  of  the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties 
Committee,  as  radio  script  writer  for  the  Communist-controlled  Inter- 
national Longshoremen's  and  Warehousemen's  Union,  and  as  vice 
president  of  a  Communist  effort  known  as  the  Unemployed  Workers 
Organization.  Mr.  Greene  transferred  his  residence  from  Hawaii  to 
the  mainland  in  February  1950. 

Frank  Marshall  Davh^  author  of  a  regular  weekly  column  in  the 
Honolulu  Record  entitled  "Frankly  Speaking."  Mr.  Davis'  column 
defends  Communists  and  attacks  capitalism  with  the  same  vigor  as 
columns  appearing  regularly  in  the  Daily  Worker  and  other  frankly 
Communist  publications.  Typical  of  Mr.  Davis'  remarks  are  the 
following : 

Democracy  today  lies  weak  and  slowly  dying  from  the  poison  administered 
by  the  divident  doctors  in  Washington  and  Wall  Street  who  have  fooled  a  trusting 


REPORT    ON   THE    HONOLULU   RECORD  11 

public  into  believiag  that  they  are  the  specialists  who  would  save  us  from  the 
dread  diseases  of  socialism  and  communism  *  ♦  *  They  hope  to  hand  us 
fascism  disguised  as  the  healed  democracy  (Honolulu  Record,  July  28,  1949,  p.  8). 

Mr.  Davis  constantly  defended  the  11  top  United  States  Communist 
officials  recently  convicted  in  New  York  on  charges  of  conspiracy  to 
advocate  the  overthrow  of  the  Government  by  force  and  violence. 
One  of  Mr.  Davis'  comments  on  the  case  was  as  follows : 

I  feel  strong  sympathy  for  the  Communist  minority  who  are  being  oppressed 
for  their  political  beliefs  (Honolulu  Record,  October  20,  1949,  p.  6). 

When  Mr.  Davis'  column  first  appeared  in  the  Record  in  May  1949, 
the  Record  boasted  that  the  author  was  a  member  of  the  national 
executive  board  of  the  Civil  Rights  Congress.  The  organization  is 
cited  as  Communist  by  Attorney  General  Tom  Clark  as  well  as  by  the 
Committee  on  Un-American  Activities.  Mr.  Davis  has  signed  a 
number  of  statements  in  behalf  of  Communists  under  the  sponsorship 
of  the  Civil  Rights  Congress;  one  of  these  defended  was  Gerhart 
Eisler,  notorious  Communist  international  agent  who  escaped  jailing 
for  passport  fraud  by  fleeing  to  the  Soviet  sector  of  Germany. 

Other  front  organizations  of  the  Communist  Party  with  which  Mr. 
Davis  has  associated  include :  American  Youth  for  Democracy,  Abra- 
ham Lincoln  School,  National  Federation  for  Constitutional  Liber- 
ties, League  of  American  Writers,  the  National  Negro  Congress,  and 
the  Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee. 

Edward  Rohrhough  who  has  also  contributed  articles  to  such  out- 
right Communist  publications  on  the  mainland  as  the  Daily  People's 
World  and  the  New  Masses,  The  Daily  People's  World  is  cited  as 
"the  official  organ  of  the  Communist  Party  on  the  west  coast"  by  the 
Special  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities;  the  committee  cited 
New  Masses  as  the  "nationally  circulated  weekly  journal  of  the  Com- 
munist Party."'  Former  Attorney  General  Francis  Biddle  also  cited 
New  Masses  as  a  Communist  periodical. 

Mr.  Rohrbough  was  a  speaker  at  the  California  Labor  School,  cited 
as  subversive  and  Communist  by  Attorney  General  Tom  Clark.  Mr. 
Rohrbough  in  1948  and  1949  was  listed  as  a  consultant  to  the  Com- 
mittee for  a  Democratic  Far  Eastern  Policy,  cited  as  Communist  by 
Attorney  General  Tom  Clark, 

During  the  war  Mr.  Rohrbough  served  in  China  as  a  press  corre- 
spondent and  employee  of  the  Office  of  War  Information.  His  writ- 
ings in  the  New  Masses  and  the  Daily  People's  World  reveal  that  he 
is  in  complete  sympathy  with  the  Chinese  Communists  who,  in  Rohr- 
bough's  eyes,  are  "liberating"  China  and  bringing  "democracy"  to  that 
land. 

Mr.  Rohrbough's  wife,  Jeanette  Nakama  Rohrbough,  has  been  iden- 
tified as  an  active  Communist  Party  member  by  five  former  Commu- 
nists who  testified  before  a  subcommittee  of  the  Committee  on 
Un-American  Activities  in  April  1950. 

Eleanor  Agnew^  who  served  as  vice  chairman  of  the  subversive 
Hawaii  Civil  Liberties  Committee  and  as  chairman  of  its  educa- 
tional committee  in  1949.  Mrs.  Agnew  has  recently  taken  up  residence 
on  the  mainland. 

Adele  Kensinger  and  Ray  Jerome  Baker^  whose  Communist  asso- 
ciations are  detailed  in  the  previous  section  of  this  report  entitled 
"Ownership." 


12  REPORT   ON   THE   HONOLULU   RECORD 

Communist  Party  Line  Content 

An  analysis  of  the  complete  contents  of  the  Honolulu  Record  reveals 
the  strictest  adherence  to  the  Communist  Party  line. 

Articles  referring  to  the  Soviet  Union  or  the  Communist  Party 
of  the  United  States  are  consistently  slanted  to  favor  the  Soviet 
Union  and  its  American  puppets.  Friendly  write-ups  are  also  given 
to  Communist  movements  in  other  countries,  such  as  China,  Greece, 
France,  and  the  Philippines.  Individual  United  States  Communist 
leaders  on  numerous  occasions  receive  favorable  attention  in  the 
Honolulu  Record,  which  reserves  its  most  generous  publicity,  however, 
for  the  activities  of  Hawaii  Communists.  Communist-front  organ- 
ization and  Communist -controlled  unions,  both  in  Hawaii  and  on  the 
mainland,  are  well  publicized  in  the  Record. 

The  Record  is  equally  consistent  in  presenting  in  an  unfavorable 
light  any  actions  which  conflict  with  the  interests  of  Communists. 
Thus,  the  Honolulu  Record  represents  only  criticism  of  American 
defense  spending,  the  Marshall  plan  and  European-recovery  program, 
aid  to  Greece  and  [Nationalist]  China,  and  other  aspects  of  the  United 
States  foreign  policy  designed  to  help  curb  the  spread  of  communism. 
The  Record  furthermore  makes  it  clear  to  its  readers  that  it  has  only 
contempt  for  the  capitalist  system. 

Conclusion 

The  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities,  after  analysis  and 
investigation  of  the  Honolulu  Record  since  its  first  issue  of  August 
5,  1948,  draws  the  inevitable  conclusion  that  the  Honolulu  Record 
is  a  front  for  the  Communist  Party,  despite  the  fact  that  the  paper 
does  not  make  this  admission. 

It  should  be  noted  in  this  connection  that  during  the  past  decade 
all  Communist  publications  have  gone  to  great  lengths  to  give  the 
impression  of  having  no  direct  connections  with  the  Communist  Party. 
Even  official  publications  of  the  Communist  Party,  USA,  have  ter- 
minated such  designation  since  1936  and  appear  instead  as  organs 
of  certain  publishing  companies  formed  for  that  special  purpose. 
The  Honolulu  Record  conforms  to  this  pattern  completely. 

The  Committee  on  Un-American  Activities  would  like  to  point 
out  that  the  success  of  such  a  newspaper,  dedicated  to  disseminating 
Communist  propaganda,  depends  upon  support  from  deluded  liberals. 
The  Communists  recognize  that  most  Americans  would  not  know- 
ingly support  the  Communist  Party,  and  therefore  have  devised 
various  front  organizations  and  publications  so  as  to  ensnare  the 
unwary  liberal.  The  latter  serves  to  add  prestige  to  the  Communist 
front  and  to  attract  other  non-Communist  support. 

William  K.  Bassett,  administrative  assistant  to  the  mayor  of  Hono- 
lulu, falls  into  the  category  of  those  liberals  who  have  aided  and 
abetted  the  Communists'  front  publication,  the  Honolulu  Record. 
By  serving  as  a  columnist  for  the  Record,  he  has  imparted  an  aura 
of  respectability  which  the  subversive  publication  does  not  deserve. 
This  definitely  was  not  in  the  best  interests  of  the  people  of  Hawaii 
or  the  Government  of  which  he  is  an  official.
