Directors Fired as Communist Questions Hit TV Show
The director of the quiz show Twenty-One, Charles Dubin, was fired after refusing to disclose past Communist ties to the House Un-American Activities Committee. NBC barred him from facilities and producers followed suit, jeopardizing his Dinah Shore Show deal. Conductor Arthur Lief of the Moiseyev Ballet invoked the First and Fifth Amendments amid similar inquiries.
