Wraps. Zustand: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. PART 12 ONLY. iii, [1], 725-840 pages. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Cover is worn, torn, chipped and soiled. In this part [12] testimony was heard from Alice Prentice Barrows, Saul Carson, Irving Fajans, Carl Aldo Marzani, Margaret B. Porter, Helen R. Tenney, Craig S. Vincent, and Milton Wolff. One of the purposes of these hearings was "to determine the extent of Communist infiltration of Government." The United States Senate's Special Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws, 195177, known more commonly as the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (SISS) and sometimes the McCarran Committee, was authorized by S. 366, approved December 21, 1950, to study and investigate (1) the administration, operation, and enforcement of the Internal Security Act of 1950 (Pub. L. 81831, also known as the McCarran Act) and other laws relating to espionage, sabotage, and the protection of the internal security of the United States and (2) the extent, nature, and effects of subversive activities in the United States "including, but not limited to, espionage, sabotage, and infiltration of persons who are or may be under the domination of the foreign government or organization controlling the world Communist movement or any movement seeking to overthrow the Government of the United States by force and violence". The resolution also authorized the subcommittee to subpoena witnesses and require the production of documents. Because of the nature of its investigations, the subcommittee is considered by some to be the Senate equivalent to the older House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The chairman of the subcommittee for the 82nd United States Congress was Patrick McCarran of Nevada. William Jenner of Indiana took over during the 83rd United States Congress after the Republicans gained control of the Senate in the 1952 election. When the Democrats regained control in the 84th Congress (19551957), James O. Eastland of Mississippi became chairman, a position he had until the subcommittee was abolished during 1977. The subjects of its investigations during the 1950s include the formulation of U.S. foreign policy in Asia; the scope of Soviet activity in the United States; subversion in the Federal Government, particularly in the Department of State and Department of Defense; immigration; the United Nations; youth organizations; the television, radio, and entertainment industry; the telegraph industry; the defense industry; labor unions; and educational organizations. The subcommittee published over 400 volumes of hearings and numerous reports, documents, and committee prints. During March 1951, FBI officials began a formal liaison program with the SISS in contract to the informal HUAC-FBI relationship, whereby SISS agreed to focus its hearings on "matters of current internal security significance.[and also] to help the Bureau in every possible manner". This program reflected the FBI director's unqualified confidence in McCarran's ability to serve the cause of anticommunism and to protect the confidentiality of FBI sources. …

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.
