19602275Fullerton California: Education Information Inc. 1960. First Edition. <br /><br />Small Quarto 10 5/8 x 8 1/4 inches; 271 x 212 mm 21 pages in stapled illustrated wrappers <br /><br />A "second report on modern art" issued by Education Information Inc. an Orange County California anti-communist outfit. The main highlight: the purported minutes of a Communist cell comprising artists and writers: "PROGRAM: Remove all inspiring and beautiful art from all exhibits and substitute degenerate art in its place.Keep rational art out of all public exhibits -- allow only empty or distorted art to be shown in museums dealers' exhibits.Tie junk together and set it up as sculpture." <br /><br />There's plenty more in this vein. The woman who took these notes -- "a friend of truth and decency" -- supposedly mailed them to the right-wing sculptor Wheeler Williams who was active in anticommunist politics. Williams provides a Foreword to the notes saying he believes they're authentic. He says he shared the notes with colleagues and some former FBI undercover agents all of whom apparently believe the notes are genuine. <br /><br />Also in this pamphlet are articles on "subversion in art" lengthy excerpts from Williams's testimony to Congress on the Soviet uses of art and a piece by E. Merrill Root on conservative philosophy. <br /><br />This pamphlet is scarce. OCLC records around a dozen institutional holdings. <b>SCARCE</b>. <br /><br />CONDITION: Vertical fold throughout original mailing label and partially removed tape to lower wrapper extremities worn from handling staples a bit rusted.

19361497New York: New York Labor News Company 1936. First Edition. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 183 x 126 mm 40 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /> <br />A spirited -- rollicking even! -- essay with attacks on "fakers" "impostors" "swindlers" and other enemies of the working class. <br /> <br />May Day is the true holiday of the proletariat the author says while Labor Day in the U.S. is fake because it "sticks to the hollow pretense of a brotherhood between capital and labor." <br /> <br />Issued by the radical Socialist Labor Party the pamphlet argues that American labor leaders have eagerly embraced the capitalist class. "The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor. Where they go liquor flows expensively and plentifully--sometimes swinishly." page 30 <br /> <br />The author Olive M. Johnson 1872-1954 was a longtime activist editor and pamphleteer for the Socialist Labor Party. <br /> <br />This pamphlet is peak agit-prop.
