jurnished reliable information in the past, on October 8,
1955, advised as follows:
According to Ray Tillman, chairman, South side
Division of the Illinois-Indiana District of the Communist
Party, and Arlene ward, a member of the Communist Party,
four religious organizations; namely, the congress of
Christian Organizations, the United church council, the
Baptist Ministers Alliance and the National crusade of Christ,
were to sponsor a huge mass rally on Sunday, October 9, 1955,
at the Rosebowl, 4747 Cottage Grove Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
The purpose of this meeting was to raise money and
to organize a delegation to go to Washington, D. C., on
October 22, 1955, in regard to the murder of Emmett Louis
Till in Mississippi. This meeting of October 9, 1955, was
also to have been sponsored by the Afro-American congress of
Christian Organizations which is also known as National
