Typed report [from Una – name redacted] undated. She has made close contact with the American Ambassador. When she learned he had accepted invitation to the International Club she advised against it. He asked her about Conor A. Farrington who had obtained a scholarship to America. As he was a Communist and involved with the peace effort he did not get his passport and his scholarship was withdrawn. Francis McGuinness, son of Mrs. McGuinness of the Housewives, was looking for a passport to visit his mother in America. She was on an extended holiday and was informed her time was up. He will not be able to go. Ambassador cannot understand the attitude of Protestants in Ireland to Communism and their readiness to criticise the Catholic Church “who have always stood out on their own against all Evil.” Sean McBride was in India collecting signatures to his writ that his is trying to move at the Committee of Human Rights’ Court on IRA prisoners. He is considered “bad news” in America. Dominic Behan, Brendan’s brother, has replaced Michael Kearney as Secretary of the Unemployed Association. Does not believe he has turned over a new leaf. Councillor Swanton is pressing very hard in the Council for action to be taken to clean streets, child welfare, juvenile crime, etc. Gerry Kerrigan has been elected to the Trade Union Council.
