NYC Councillor Statement Denounces HUAC

NYC Councillor Statement Denounces HUAC Norman Schrank takes oath in courtroom; sits down and reads statement from NYC Councillor Caccione cancelling his voluntary request to appear before HUAC; “I am convinced as any honest American must be that this committee has no intention and never had of hearing opposing viewpoints expressed on a proposal to strike a blow at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, through outlawing or curbing the political activities of Communists...I protest this effort to cripple democratic liberties in our country...I denounce this committee as illegally constituted...” Anti-Communism. Witch hunts.
