Claims Answers
In denying he ever said U. S.
Negroes would refuse to take up
arms against the Soviet Union,
Robeson added:
"In passing. I said it wss un
thinkable anybody would take up
arms in the name of an East
land." Robeson later told a newsman:
There was no contempt. I an
swered every question. I was just '
standing my ground.'" - I
He did refuse to answer some I
questions, invoking the Fifth j
Amendment protection against
possible self-incrimination. He de-
dined to say whether he is a
Communist Party member or
whether he knows certain persons
named by the Committee.
Fight for Pamper!
Robeson was called before the
group la its inquiry into possible
use of American passports by
Comrminista or fellow travellers.
The singer is now making a court
fight of his demand" for a new
passport, denied him after he col
lected the Stalin prize.
: The witness testified his "fish'
foe a passport is a struggle for
freedom. He said be was being
deprived of' freedom "because
(Secretary of State) Dulles, East
land, Walter and their ilk oppose
my views; on colonial liberation,
my resistance to oppression of
Negre Americans, and my burn
ing desire for peace with all na
tions." Backs fted Natieae
At one point Robeson said that
Soviet Russia and Red China "are
la the forefront for the fight for
peace," and added:
And so, thank Heaven, la oar
President. I only hope that com
mittees like yours won't turn ever
the applecart.
Robesoa repeatedly interrupted
committee members and staff di
rector Richard Arena When they
sougnt to question him about his
travels in Russia.
"I wouldn't -discuss anvthine
with people who murdered mil
lions or my people I won't dis
cuss these things with you," he
declared
Stalla Qaery Decked
Asked if he has changed his
opinion of Joseph Stalin, Robeson
retorted:
JThat la a question I will dis
cuss among friends. It has noth
ing to do with you.
Artec saying that "in Russia I
felt (or the first time like a full
human being," Robeson was asked
why he didn't stay there.
"I came back to America to
fight for my people." he said.
Im not going to be driven out
by fascist-minded people."
