Red Capitalist? Chicago Communist Chief In Slum Flats Case
Claude Liestroot, top Chicago and Illinois Communist Party leader, inherited a six flat building in 1962 valued at $36,000. After code violations and rat and roach presence surfaced in February 1963, ownership shifted to tenant Pete Watkins. Liestroot denied concealment, claimed trust dissolution, and faced ridicule as he defended his socialist stance amid rent strike tensions and a campus speech embarrassment in Milwaukee.
