  • Robert Lichtman Articles
    By: Robert M. Lichtman From: American Communist History, Vol.3, No. 1, 2004 Louis Budenz, the FBI, and the “list of 400 concealed Communists”: an extended tale of McCarthy‐era informing For those who may not remember, Louis F. Budenz was the prototypical ex‐Communist political informer of the McCarthy era, setting the standard for an entire class of informer‐witnesses. Ubiquitous during the period, Budenz was the principal Justice Department witness in the 1949 Foley Square Smith Act trial of the CPUSA's top leadership. His high‐pro e testimony before the Tydings subcommittee in April 1950, naming Johns Hopkins professor and China expert Owen Lattimore as a secret Party member, averted a threatened early end to Joe McCarthy's Red‐hunting career—Joseph Alsop termed him “the Senator's rescuer‐in‐chief.” By 1953, when he testi ed in the McCarthy subcommittee's investigation of books by alleged Communists in State Department overseas libraries, Budenz was fawned over by Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike, as if he were an elder statesman or Nobel laureate. He wrote ve books, hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles, and delivered countless lectures throughout the country, all warning in shrill terms of an internal Communist peril. “No man,” Richard Rovere wrote in 1955, “has had any greater in uence on the public view of the Communist problem than Louis F. Budenz.” 1 is article concerns an episode in Budenz's career as an ex‐Communist informer—his creation of a “list of 400 concealed Communists.” Budenz's intention in announcing a “400 list” was to promote his forthcoming new book; but Hoover's FBI had other objectives.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

    100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U. S. A. Forty years ago, Communism was just a plot in the minds of a very few peculiar people. Today, Communism is a world force governing millions of the human race and threatening to govern all of it. Who are the Communists? How do they work? What do they want? What would they do to you? For the past IO years your committee has studied these and other questions and now some positive answers can be made. Some answers will shock the citizen who has not examined Com- munism closely. Most answers will infuriate the Communists. These answers are given in five booklets, as follows: 1. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in the U. S. A. 2. One Hundred Things You Should Know About .Commu- nism in Religion. 3. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in Education. 4. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in Labor. 5. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in Government. These booklets are intended to help you know a Communist when you hear him speak and when you see him work. If you ever find yourself in open debate with a Communist the facts here given can be used to destroy his arguments completely and expose him as he is for all to see. Every citizen owes himself and his family the truth about Com- munism because the world today is faced with a single choice: To go Communist or not to go Communist.
