In 1977-78, Senator James O. Eastland began transferring his congressional papers to the University of Mississippi. Among the items shipped were publications from the subcommittee’s library. Due to storage space concerns and the wide availability of many titles, the volumes were not preserved in toto. However, this subseries provides a complete bibliographic listing of the publications received as well as descriptions of stamps, inscriptions, or enclosures. The archives did retain documents enclosed within the Internal Security Subcommittee’s library volumes and these appear in Box 1 of this subseries.

    The Red Mask of Sanity Paul Robeson, HUAC, and the Sound of Cold War Performance Tony Perucci That’s why you were a Commie, Oscar, because you were batty. It was the only philosophy that would appeal to your crazy mind. —“Mike Hammer” in Mickey Spillane’s One Lonely Night (1951) I know I am paranoid. But you know, any black man who is not paranoid is in serious shape. He should be in an asylum and kept under cover. —Richard Wright to Ollie Harrington (in Rowley 2001:491) When Paul Robeson purportedly stated at the 1949 Paris Peace Conference that it would be “unthinkable” for blacks to fight in a potential war against the Soviet Union (Duberman 1989:242), he was vilified in the US as a mentally unstable traitor. While the US press in gen- eral dubbed Robeson as un-American, the New York Times claimed he suffered from “twisted TDR: The Drama Review 53:4 (T204) Winter 2009. ©2009 18 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology thinking” (in Cygan 2002:90) and columnist Earl Brown called him “just plain screwy” (in Duberman 1989:343). The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) held special hearings to give “members of his [Robeson’s] race” the “privilege” of “the expression of contrary views” to the “disloyal and unpatriotic statements” (in Duberman 1989:359) Robeson had uttered, indicating both that blacks now bore the responsibility of denying that his views were representative and that the American power structures feared that they were. Paul Robeson, the former stage and screen star, had once been the best-known

    Anti-Communism, the FBI, and Matt Cvetic: The Ups and Downs oj a Professional Informer WEAT-DRENCHED IN FEAR" is the phrase historian David Caute used to describe the mood of many Americans during the late S 1940s and much of the 1950s. This era has been characterized as "an age of suspicions" during which "a national fetish with anti- Communism pervaded American society." Historians have found that the resulting Cold War "Red scare" "weakened ... civil liberties" and "impugned standards of tolerance and fair play." Scholars of different political stripes have shown that political dissent nearly disap- peared in the United States as "rampant" Red-baiting "narrowed the range of... utterances and ideas," and as the "anti-Communist stance of the majority was translated into near unanimity in the elected councils of the nation."l This Red scare had many sources—among them the media, profes- sional anti-Communists, and various governmental bodies and agencies (especially some congressional investigative committees and the Fed- eral Bureau of Investigation [FBI]). Although scholars disagree about the exact impact of these groups, they do acknowledge that such groups played an important role in fomenting and maintaining the kind of The author thanks the following people for their vital assistance and comments: Sidney Fine, John Haynes, Michelle Linver, James Moore, Steve Nelson, Morleen Getz Rouse, Monsignor Charles Owen Rice, and Janet Wildman.
