House panel tags Southern Conference as Communist front
The House committee on un-American activities labeled the Southern Conference for Human Welfare a deceitful Communist front. It cited names such as Henry Wallace Melvyn Douglas Mrs. Marshall Field Harold L. Ickes Joseph Davies Dorothy Parker and Paul Robeson and warned of misled supporters. The report linked funding and affiliations to various groups and noted the conference denied Communist ties while officials protested a hearing was not provided. It also referenced a Watergate amphitheater permit challenge by the American anti Communist association ahead of Wal lace's scheduled speech.
