Archive of 14 vintage large-format press photographs of the infamous protest against the House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) at San Francisco City Hall on May 13, 1960. Reference Library stamps on the versos, along with brief mimeo snipes, and several with newspaper clippings affixed to the versos. By 1960 HUAC had been widely denounced by everyone from figures of the American counterculture to former President Harry Truman, but the committee nevertheless continued to hold hearings around the country to investigate alleged local subversive activities. Arriving in San Francisco for the first of three days of hearings (from May 12-14), the committee were met by a group of protesters organized by civil liberties activist Frank Wilkenson. The protesters found themselves barred from entering City Hall, however, as HUAC had already filled the hearing chamber with supporters. Demonstrators began to chant outside the building, demanding entrance. The publicity generated by the first day's demonstration brought even larger numbers the following day, with an estimated gathering of 3500 protesters, including many Berkeley students. Without warning, San Francisco police turned fire hoses on the protesters, and began to drag them down the stairs. The resultant melee marked the first significant public confrontation between HUAC and its detractors, and reflected a major shift in national opinion about the purpose of the committee. The photographs on offer document the protest itself as well as the aftermath, with images of protesters marching with signs and surrounding the inside and outside of City Hall. Many vivid photographs show policemen in the heat of the conflict, spraying protesters with fire hoses and dragging individuals by the limbs and by clothing down the building steps. Several images show protesters under arrest afterwards, as well as one particularly striking image of a pile of abandoned protest signs on the ground in front of City Hall. An important collection of images from a key turning point not only in the history of HUAC, but also in the dialogue around free speech in the United States, and, more broadly, in the forms of protest and organization that would shape New Left social and political movements over the course of the following decades. 11 x 14 inches. Very Good plus, lightly toned at the margins, and some with touch-ups and annotations in manuscript pencil on the rectos.…

Important 1950 Free-Speech Trial. The Legal Climax of the Red Scare: Original 1950 Court Transcript Affirming the Conviction of Communist Party Leaders in the Prelude to Dennis v. United States [Smith Act Trials]. [Dennis, Eugene, et al.] United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. No. 242 - October Term, 1949. (Argued June 21, 22, and 23, 1950 Decided August 1, 1950) Docket No. 21538. United States of America, Appellee, v. Eugene Dennis, John B. Williamson, Jacob Stachel, Robert G. Thompson, Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., Henry Winston, John Gates, Irving Potash, Gilbert Green, Carl Winter and Gus Hall. Appellants. Before: L. Hand, Swan, and Chase, Circuit Judges. [New York: Southern District Court Reporters, August 1, 1950. Quarto (10-1/2" x 8"). 48 leaves. Typescript (not a carbon copy) on single-sided leaves, stapled. Light toning, minor dust soiling, and faint fading to the outermost leaves. Internally clean, crisp, and free of markings. A well-preserved legal artifact. $850. Stenographer's Transcript of the Appeal Decision of an Important 1950 Free-Speech Trial that Led to Dennis v. United States. Original court-issued typescript. This document records the historic final decision handed down by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on August 1, 1950, affirming the convictions of Eugene Dennis and ten other high-ranking leaders of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA). The defendants had been convicted under the Alien Registration Act of 1940 (the Smith Act) for conspiracy to advocate the violent overthrow of the United States government. This specific transcript represents the immediate, official production of the Southern District Court Reporters on the exact day the momentous ruling was handed down. Writing for the unanimous court, Judge Learned Hand, traditionally a fierce defender of political free speech, crafted the historic opinion that sustained the lower court's convictions. Hand modified Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes's famous "clear and present danger" test into a more restrictive balancing test: whether the gravity of the evil, discounted by its improbability, justifies such invasion of free speech as is necessary to avoid the danger. The Second Circuit's ruling served as the direct precursor to the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 1951 decision in Dennis v. United States, a high-water mark of McCarthy-era politic.
