Control board to be scuttled
The Senate voted 42 to 25 to strip the Subversive Activities Control Board of its $450,000 appropriation next year. Sen Sam Ervin called the SACB an abomination whose sole function was to intimidate. The House supported expansion of its duties, risking a conference committee fight as Nixon had broadened its reach by executive order. The five-member board, created 22 years ago, aimed to identify Communist groups and once labeled 66 individuals as subversive.
