I told Ir. {Fordmatter for thethat the Department question of to decide.additional guards of was, course,

I talked to Attorney Kevin Haroney of the Department as Ford said he had further information. Haroney said that about ten days ago Halois M. Robinson, Secretary of the National Committee to Defend Negro Leadership, had written to the , Vie? Department asking for an appointment with the Attorney General P tn " or Itmpkins. The Department replied on larch 29, that the Claudia Jones latter was pending in court and it would be C ' s inappropriate to discuss it. This morningthe Department 6? 9* receiveda telegram expressing indignationat theDepartment's 6 _, . reply and stating that the delegation was coming anyway.
