By virtue of the authority conferred upon it by Public 21 s 2 m b ec . 60 1 . 1 su Law ( sec , # , ( ) giving the com ittee certain special m functions not applicable to any other agency of the Govern ent , the committee is in a position to report the followin g highlights of its r r fo r 2 eco d . the past years 1 3 0 - . For the first time in the year history of the Communist Party of the United States , the committee made a full exposure of the activities of a representative of the Communist International , operat ing illegally in this country for more than a decade , namely Gerhart E E Li tzen . isler , alias Hans Berger , dwards , Gerhard , Samuel p , etc , n o w and a subject of prosecution by the Justice Department . 2 E . xtensive hearings dealt with Communist penetration of the - motion picture industry . 3 . The operations of the International Music Bureau with head quarters in Moscow and reaching into Hollywood through Hanns E isler , were the subj ect of public hearings . 4 . e L on Josephson , for many years an international operative for the world Communist movement and official procurer of false pass ports , was brought into the public spotlight for the first time and rought before the bar of justice . 5 . E ose h The proceedings in connection with Gerhart isler , Leon J p E son , Hanns isler , and others, demonstrated the operations of a vast m Com unist passport ring . 6 C . ontinuing its efforts to demonstrate the aims and methods of m Communist penetration of labor unions , the co mittee conducted hearings dealing with such activities in the United Automobile Work E ers Union , CIO , the United lectrical , Radio and Machine Workers ( f merica CI O T , , and the Food , obacco and Agricultural Workers , él g 7 E . ugene Dennis , general secretary of the Communist Party of the was m i United States, brought before the com ittee .

The Attorney General 1 REPORT OF COM M ITTEE ON UN - AM ERICAN ACTIVITIES ou tstan din memb er s and g of the legal profession , as well as leading public men , participated . As a result , an authoritative body of data was collected on this hitherto neglected sub#ect an d the committee 5852 - was introduced H . R . , known as the Mundt Nixon bill , which o ver whe in i n adopted by an l g vote of the House of Representatives , 1 0 . The committee initiated an exhaustive investigation into espio n age in the field of atomic energy and its findings were embodied into # a report entitled Report on Sov1 et E spionage Activities in Co mi ec # tion With the Atom Bomb . T C i 1 1 . he operations and activities of ommunists in the Un ted E States were the sub#ect of testimony by J . dgar Hoover , Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation , and such Witnesses as Louis B u den z a F . , former managing editor of the D ily Worker , and Victor n 1 . A . Kravche ko , former Sov et representative s m 1 2. In a serie of hearings the Operations of a Co munist espionage ring operating through top - fli ght Government officials during the 0 E past 1 years were revealed through the testimony of lizabeth T . Bentley and Whittaker Chambers , former members of the ring . 1 3 . The committee has published a series of reports on various phases o f the Co mmun ist problem in the interest of public enlighten : ment in this field , notably The Communist Party of the U nited States as an Agent of a F oreign Power copies ) . The Communist Party of the U nited States as an Advocate of Overthrow of Gov i e rn men t by Force and Violence Cop es . ) The American Youth for Democracy copies . ) H The Southern Conference for uman Welfare copies . ) Report on the Civil Rights Congress as a Communist Front copies . ) 1 0 Y u K U SA 0 Things o Should now About Communism in the copies . ) 1 0 K 0 Things You Should now About Communism and Religion copies . ) o K m E 1 00 T hings Y u Should now About Communis and ducation copies . ) 1 o L 0 0 Things Y u Should Know About Communism and abor copies . ) Y 1 0 0 Things ou Should Know About Communism and Government copies . ) Citations by Official Government Agencies of O rganizations and Publications Found to be Communist or Communist Fronts copies . ) The intense interest of the country in these publications is demon str ated by the fact that our supply of these publications is almost exhausted at this time . In a number of instances committee reports were reprinted in full or in ma#or part by newspapers throughout the o c untry . E IGHT- POINT PR OGRAM Early in 1947 the committee adopted the following eight - point pro gram which outlined the scope of its activities . This program furnishes an appropriate standard by which the work of the committee should be judged . 1 . To expose and ferret out the Communists and Communist sym p athiz ers in the Federal Government . 2. To spotlight the spectacle of having outright Communists con tr llin g and dominating some of the most vital unions in American lag or . 3 . To institute a countereducational program against the subversive propaganda which has been hurled at the American people . 4 . Investigation of those groups and movements which are trying to dissipate our atomic bomb knowledge for the benefit of a foreign power . REPORT OF COM M ITTEE ON UN - AM ERICAN ACTIVITIES . 5 . Investigation of Communist influences in Hollywood . 6 . Investigation of Communist influences in education O f 7 . rganization of the research sta f so as to furnish reference service to Members of Congress and to keep them currently informed on all subj ects relating to subversive and u n -American activities in the United States . 8 . Continued accumulation of files and records to be placed at the disposal of the investigative units of the Government and armed services . OPPOSITION T O T H E COM M ITTE E In a sense the storm of opposition to the activities of the committee is a tribute to its achievements in the field of exposure of those who threaten our national security . It is to the credit of the great mass of the American people that they have not been blinded to the maj or issues involved and the solid and far—reaching importance of the com ’ mittee s work by the raising of minor procedural issues or attempts to belittle the work of the committee through petty ridicule . In the main such opposition has come from the following sources 1 . The Communists and their close fellow travelers who fear exposure .

    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.

    XXV Introduction Piano music plays a peculiar role in Eisler’s thought and work. full his art of constructing motivic and thematic relationships It was bound up with his beginnings as a composer and he and his ability to create contrapuntal combinations.3 This returned to it when he had the leisure to compose. But at the Sonata is essentially in the atonal idiom of the Second Vien­ same time it acted as a kind of negative foil to his “real” activ­ nese School, but its tonal residue (such as in the unresolved ities, namely his support for the workers’ movement and for a dominant seventh/ninth chord at the close of the main theme music that could be utilized in its struggle for a socialist society. in the first movement) reveals a trait that Reinhold Brinkmann Eisler’s piano music is to a certain extent that of the “private” sees as characteristic of the “future critical singer”: “If we don’t composer, and he made little fuss about it. The piano was his wish to dismiss its [i.e. the chord’s] isolation as a break in the instrument, and his playing is said to have possessed a great style, then it can hardly be understood as anything other than deal of charisma, despite his technical deficiencies.1 Eisler’s parodistic”.4 piano oeuvre is more extensive than that of his teacher Arnold The Second Sonata was composed shortly afterwards.

The text accompanying the pic- tures revealed a certain amazement because the report included photographs not only of the relevant politicians, but also of the party headquarters. Above all, it gave an account of a meeting of a Communist cell. So much publicity? The magazine called the report 'a pictorial scoop' and emphasized the difference between Europe and America: 'This could not possibly have been taken in the U.S., where Communists usually work in secrecy, or in the Soviet Union, where they select their own type of publicity.
