1948-10-22 Counterattack

This week, the newsletter urges outspoken support of the trials of Communist Party leaders in the United States against international protests.  The success of the "Denver Plan," using the federal courts against the communists, spread to Cleveland, as communists attempted to initiate propaganda against it.  Counterattack protests the formation of a communist-controlled Committee on Loyalty Problems, which promotes fairness to accused communists.  The AFL revoked the charter of a local at the University of Washington for "coming under totalitarian discipline."  There is also a discussion of the communist influence in Canadian unions and among actors in Hollywood.
