EXPOSÉ OF COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS (BASED ON THE TESTIMONY OF HERBERT A. PHILBRICK) COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES. EIGHTY-SECOND CONGRESS FIRST SESSION JULY 23 AND 24, OCTOBER 10 AND 11, 1951 Printed for the use of the Committee on Un-American Activities 5-60111 89067 UNITED STATES WASHINGTON: 1951 FOREWORD The Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives, in the course of its investigation to ascertain the scope of infiltration and influence of communism in areas containing industries of vital defense to the national welfare of this country, has heard the following testimony relating to the New England area. Also subpenaed to appear before the committee was Joseph Figueiredo who is referred to on several occasions in this testimony. The committee has acceded to the request of Figueiredo's physician to postpone his appearance before the committee until such time as Mr. Figueiredo's health will permit such an appearance. It is expected that Mr. Figueiredo and such other individuals whose investigation would appear to be warranted will be heard some time early in 1952. From the nature of the testimony concerning him, it is believed that if Mr. Figueiredo so desires he can furnish testimony that will be of great assistance to the committee relative to determining the extent of Communist infiltration and influence in the New England area. |
