HUAC Film Plays Nov.21
"Committee on Un-American Activities," a film about the committee, will be shown at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The film is sponsored by the SUA Minority Opinions Forum.
The film is a history of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) and discusses important investigations of the committee and personalities connected with the committee and its investigations.
THE FILM also discusses HUAC's film "Operation Abolition," which covers the committee's investigations in San Francisco in 1960.
HUAC was formed in 1938 with Martin Dies (D-Tex.) as chairman. Public Law No. 601, which established the committee, states:
"(2) The committee on un-American activities, as a whole or by subcommittee, is authorized to make from time to time investigations of (1) the extent, character, and objects of un-American propaganda activities in the United States. (2) the diffusion within the United States of subversive and un-American propaganda that is instigated from foreign countries or of a domestic origin and attacks the principle of the form of government as guaranteed by our Constitution . . ."
ON JAN. 3, 1945, the House made HUAC a standing 9-member committee. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.) is the present chairman of the committee.
During its 25-year history HUAC has recorded the testimony of more than 3,000 witnesses and published more than six and one-half million publications concerning its work.
HUAC's investigations have encountered opposition. In 1957 a movement against the committee became an "abolition campaign."
HUAC has listed these three committees as the most active in the movement: The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (ECLC), and The National Committee to Abolish the Un-American Activities Committee (NCAUAC).
THESE GROUPS state that their opposition to HAUC is its alleged abuse of the Bill of Rights.
Opponents of HUAC contend that it violates the Article I of the U.S. Constitution which states: "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The opposition groups have also questioned the legality of the mandate which established the committee and gave it its investigatory jurisdiction. However, the United States Supreme Court has twice upheld the legality of HUAC's powers.
