→Let's cut to the chase: not what sources say
:::::(b) were the FDR papers, moved to his personal residence, considered FDR's personal property? This obviously relates to Nixon taking a tax deduction for the donation of his vice-presidential papers, seeing that by precedent, FDR & Lyndon Johnson's papers were regarded as thier personal property.

::::::Lash had been a fellow traveler in the 1930s, broke with the Communists in 1939, and became the #1 anti-communist student leader. (he resigned from the Am. Youth Congress in 1940 when the reds took it over.) He later was a founder of the ADA, the leading anti-communist group in the late 1940s. FDR did not consider the presidential papers to be his personal property, but he did have many non-presidential papers. (For example, his widow sold off his stamp collection.)

::::::::Really? our sources say [[American_Youth_Congress#Dies_investigation he defected from the Socialist Party]] to the Comintern in 1937 (the source being none other than Trude Lash). And that still doesn't explain how he ends up on the wartime [[Attorney General's list]] of [[subversive]] organizations. If memory serves me correct, there were only a dozen or so subversive organizations when the list began under FDR in 1941, of which Joe Lash [[American Youth Congress]] is one.

== Mark Sanford Article ==
I thought you should know, your (and my) edits on the Mark Sanford article have been reverted by TK. I would like to know if you can help me out, as it would be helpful to have a sysop on my side. I also want to avoid an edit war at any cost. --[[User:BigM|BigM]] 16:59, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
