Description

A letter-head dating from 1972, listing its personnel. Note the name Comité International Rom, as adopted by the 1971 World Congress; but its claim to be the successor to the CIT and the CMG is asserted by the claim to have been founded in 1962. [Note also that this letter-head dates from after the first splits in the UK Gypsy Council, and all the UK members are from the “National Gypsy Council” faction led by Hughie Smith, and do not include the Romany Guild faction led by Tom Lee and Fred Wood, or the Southern Gypsy Council faction led by Roy Wells, which was supported at a distance by Grattan Puxon, who had moved to Skopje. None of the important Yugoslav leaders,with whom Grattan Puxon was working, such as Abdi Faik, Slobodan Berberski, Šaip Jusuf, Sait Balič and Rajko Durič, who came to dominate the IRU from the mid-1980s, are included either!]
