    Description: From the vantage point of Nixon's first year in the White House, Arthur Kinoy, a professor of law at the Rutgers University, warns of the new wave of repression gathering momentum as indictments are handed down against the Chicago 8 and other leaders under the Rap Brown Anti-Riot Law, resurrection of the McCarren Act, systematic harassment of the Black Panthers and SDS. These moves by congressional committee and John Mitchell's Justice Department are seen as tactics to isolate and destroy radical leadership as HUAC was used in the 1930's and Cold War eras. He urges the movement to eliminate factionalism and take the offensive in what looms as a long and bitter battle. Recorded in Washington, D.C. This program is part of the Pacifica Radio Archives. This tape is recorded on two sides.

    Description: Forced to leave his native Germany by the Nazis, playwright Bertolt Brecht eventually settled in Los Angeles where he lived from 1941 to about 1947. He and his wife, actress Helene Weigel, were members of the German expatriate community, but he also sold two scripts for Hollywood, wrote some radio shows, and collaborated with Charles Laughton on the English translation of Galileo.

This second part of this program contains selected testimony from the HUAC hearing including Brecht's statement in which he calls for freedom of speech and creative expression. This program is part of the Pacifica Radio Archives. This tape is recorded on two sides. This recording is less than studio quality.

    Description: Abe Feinglass, President of the Amalgamated Meatcutters and Butcherworkmen of North America, explains how HUAC divided labor leaders into the "good guys" who passed their "litmus test" of Americanism and the "bad guys" who were influenced by "foreign ideology and subversive ideas," such as racial equality, collective welfare, peace and international friendship. The same "red scare" tactics employed against civil rights and anti-war activists were directed against CIO in the 1930's and continued as the "cutting edge of the cold war." Numerous examples of HUAC interference with unions indicate how the left was hounded out of organized labor so that hard hats became identified with reactionism. Recorded in Washington, D.C.

    Description: Oliver Club, professor of Asian Studies at Syracuse University, in a diverting psycho-political examination of the phenomenon of which-hunts beginning with the medieval conception of witches through the persecution of the Third Reich and the McCarthy Era. The so-called witches of Salem were supposed to be agents of Satan and more recently, Jews and communists have been targeted as evil personified. The psychological roots of this violent compulsion are ascribed to childhood trauma resulting in an unnatural fear of and obsession with death. In the U.S., this obsession with the "dark, unclean, godlessness" of communism has been used to justify military intervention around the world, proliferation of the armaments business and sacrifice of freedom at home. Recorded in Washington, D.C. This program is part of the Pacifica Radio Archives. This tape is recorded on two sides.

    Description: This program features a discussion of the effect of thirty years of hunting reds, which was given at hearings held by the National Committee to Oppose HUAC. Hugh H. Wilson, professor of Politics at Princeton University, opens this series on the House Un-American Activities Committee by, tongue in cheek, listing its "achievements." The congressional group, set up to prevent domestic subversion, succeeded in spending hundreds of thousands of dollars with very little legislation to show for it. It wrecked some careers while it assured the political fortunes of others, many of whom, he suggests, would have been incompetent at anything else. This program is part of the Pacifica Radio Archives.
