Magazine Article Links CIA to UAW in Postwar Aid
Former CIA officer Thomas Braden told The Saturday Evening Post he handed $50,000 in CIA funds to UAW President Walter Reuther and $15,000 to AFL's Irving Brown to bolster unions in Europe against communism. Reuther confirmed some funds were used to support education and organizing programs in Europe, while Braden defended the CIA actions as necessary amid the Cold War. He also asserted CIA backing aided a European tour by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and funding for Encounter magazine, and claimed a CIA editorial role in Europe among intellectual groups.
