Paris: American Chamber of Commerce of Paris 1904. . Engraved card. 12 x 14.1 cm Unused.NY Times: July 5 1904:PARIS: At least two hundred and fifty Americans assembled at the Hotel du Palais d'Orsay when the American Chamber of Commerce of Paris gave a banquet in honor of Independence Day. That hearty cordiality which makes this banquet one of the pleasantest reunions of the American colony throughout the year prevailed last night as usual. General regret was however expressed that owing to being in mourning General Horace Porter the American Ambassador was not able to be present; but certainly two more popular official representatives of Americans than Mr. Vignaud and Mr. J.K. Gowdy could with difficulty be found. Paris: American Chamber of Commerce of Paris , 1904. unknown

Portrait of Richard Nixon and Robert Stripling looking at microfilm in connection with Whittaker Chamber's accusatiois. in 1948. Original photograph.
Washington DC: Circa January 1948. Silver print. French text on separate sheet pasted to verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 13 x 18cm.Robert Stripling was concerned. HUAC’s chief investigator didn’t trust Whittaker Chambers their star witness in the case against Alger Hiss feeling that even now he’d withheld some crucial evidence for reasons known only to himself. “He sits and lights his pipe he is cold and calculating and he knows exactly what he will do three weeks hence†Stripling complained. Since their case rested entirely on Chambers’ word it unnerved him. For now he and other committee members swallowed their reservations as the Case became an unparalleled public spectacle.It had been eight days since Hiss and Chambers met face-to-face in executive session. In preparation for the public showdown the Committee called a number of witnesses trying to corroborate details of the two’s relationship. Among them was Priscilla Hiss who dimly remembered George Crosley – Chambers’ alleged alias – as “a small person very smiling person—a little too smiley perhaps.†Others Chambers named in his initial testimony including John Abt and Lee Pressman denied knowing Chambers at all nor did peripheral witnesses clarify details about Hiss selling Chambers a 1929 Ford or his leasing Chambers an apartment. It seemed like the case whatever its merits would come down to public drama.Already theatrical Hiss and Chambers’ dispute exploded into soap opera on August 25th. Thousands of sweating spectators and jostling journalists packed the Capitol; television crews broadcast the hearings live to millions across the country the first glimpse many Americans received of Congress in action. Those who knew the two men only from newspaper accounts and newsreel footage could now judge for themselves. J. Parnell Thomas the Committee chairman summarized the stakes: “As a result of this hearing certainly one of these witnesses will be tried for perjury Washington, DC: Circa January 1948 unknown

Portrait of William Z. Foster 1881-1961 one 12 American communists in 1949. Trial of: Henry Winston; Eugene Dennis; Benjamin Davis; Gus Hall; John Williamson Carl Winter; Irving Potash; John Gates; Robert Thompson; Jack Stachel. Original photograph.
New York: Circa Sept. 1949. Silver print. French text on separate sheet pasted to verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 13 x 18cm.A major figure in the history of twentieth-century American radicalism William Z. Foster 1881-1961 fought his way out of the slums of turn-of-the-century Philadelphia to become a professional revolutionary as well as a notorious and feared labor agitator. Drawing on private family papers FBI files and recently opened Russian archives this first full-scale biography traces Foster’s early life as a world traveler railroad worker seaman hobo union activist and radical journalist and also probes the origins and implications of his ill-fated career as a top-echelon Communist official and three-time presidential candidate. Even though Foster’s long and eventful life ended in Moscow where he was given a state funeral in Red Square he was as portrayed here a thoroughly American radical.On the afternoon of July 20 1948 FBI agents began rounding up twelve men in New York City Chicago and Detroit whom the U.S. government believed posed a grave threat to the nation--the leadership of the Communist Party-USA. After a series of delays eleven of the twelve "top Reds" went on trial in Manhattan's Foley Square in January 1949.The proceedings captivated the nation but the trial quickly dissolved into farce. The eleven defendants were charged under the 1940 Smith Act with conspiring to teach the necessity of overthrowing the U.S. government based on their roles as party leaders and their distribution of books and pamphlets. In essence they were on trial for their libraries and political beliefs not for overt acts threatening national security. Despite the clear conflict with the First Amendment the men were convicted and their appeals denied by the U.S. Supreme Court in a decision that gave the green light to federal persecution of Communist Party leaders--a decision the court effectively reversed six years later. But by then the damage was done. So rancorous was the trial the presiding judge sentenced the defense attorneys to prison terms too chilling future defendants' access to qualified counsel.

Portrait of Eugene Dennis national chairman of the Communist party in 1947 Original photograph.
1947. Silver print. French text on separate sheet pasted to verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 18 x 13 x cm.NYT February 1 1961:Eugene Dennis national chairman of the Communist party in the United States died yesterday of cancer in Mount Sinai Hospital. He was 56 years old. His home was at 626 West 151st Street. Mr. Dennis was general secretary of the Communist party in this country from its peak period in 1945 when it numbered about 80000 members to its decline in 1957 when the membership was about 20000. It is now believed to be fewer than 10000. In 1957 Mr. Dennis became the party's secretary of national affairs and a member of its executive committee. He was named national chairman in December 1959. The party had been split by factionalism after the Soviet Union's show of force in Hungary in 1956. He supported Russian action to quell the Hungarian uprising but advocated greater party independence from Moscow dictation. He led middle-of-the-roaders opposing William Z. Foster then national chairman who demanded continued allegiance to Russia. When in 1957 the party received a letter from Jacques Duclos top French Communist chiding it for "dangerous" tendencies and urging solidarity with Soviet foreign policy Mr. Dennis said: “Our decisions will be our own.â€.In 1956 he said the party had lost its influence and became politically isolated by policies too far to the left. He wrote an article for The Daily Worker asking whether Premier Khrushchev of the Soviet Union and his colleagues could not have done something to restrain Stalin's terror. He thus took a considerably more moderate position than Mr. Foster a stanch Stalinist.Mr. Dennis invoked the Fifth Amendment in an appearance in February 1957 before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee in Washington and refused to testify.Mr. Dennis had been a member of the party since 1926. In 1949 he was convicted under the Smith Act as one of the eleven "first-string" Communists tried in Federal Court here for conspiracy to teach and advocate the overthrow of the Government by force and violence. Judge Harold R. Medina who presided at the nine-month trial sentenced him to five years in prison. Higher courts upheld the sentence and the Communist leader served three years and nine months in Atlanta Penitentiary from July 22 1951 to March 1 1955 receiving time off for good behavior 1947 unknown

He served two terms as the Communist Councilman from Harlem. However he was unceremoniously – perhaps illegally – ousted in 1949 as the Red Scare intensified. During the 1950s McCarthy period he served five years in jail as a victim of the fascist Smith Act. Gerald Horne’s Black Liberation / Red Scare: Ben Davis and the Communist Party is the definitive biography of Davis and his autobiography is titled The Communist Councilman from Harlem.On the afternoon of July 20 1948 FBI agents began rounding up twelve men in New York City Chicago and Detroit whom the U.S. government believed posed a grave threat to the nation--the leadership of the Communist Party-USA. After a series of delays eleven of the twelve "top Reds" went on trial in Manhattan's Foley Square in January 1949.The proceedings captivated the nation but the trial quickly dissolved into farce. The eleven defendants were charged under the 1940 Smith Act with conspiring to teach the necessity of overthrowing the U.S. government based on their roles as party leaders and their distribution of books and pamphlets. In essence they were on trial for their libraries and political beliefs not for overt acts threatening national security. Despite the clear conflict with the First Amendment the men were convicted and their appeals denied by the U.S. Supreme Court in a decision that gave the green light to federal persecution of Communist Party leaders--a decision the court effectively reversed six years later. But by then the damage was done. So rancorous was the trial the presiding judge sentenced the defense attorneys to prison terms too chilling future defendants' access to qualified counsel.

New York Oct. 25 1938. Silver print. French text on separate sheet pasted to verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 18 x 13 x cm.NYT December 29 1939:Miss Senta De Wanger a leading witness in the German spy case of 1938 disclosed yesterday that the Gestapo Germany's secret police had been inordinately curious about her affairs and had subjected her to a questioning that amounted to an ordeal during a recent visit in Germany.Instrumental in helping to convict three men and a woman after Guenther Gustav Rumrich had pleaded guilty to espionage Miss De Wanger would not say what the questioning was about but implied that the subject was the spy case in which eighteen persons several of them high in the councils of the Third Reich were indicted by a Federal grand jury.After spending five weeks with relatives she said the secret police questioned her “for many harrowing hours" and refused to give her an exit permit until Edmund J. Dorsy an American consul intervened. Then while passing through Singen to the Swiss frontier she continued she was searched and made to undress by a police matron.Miss De Wanger was interviewed at Roosevelt Field L. I. She returned here Saturday on the Conte di Savoia. Formerly a resident in the Roosevelt Field Hotel and a liquor dealer in Hempstead L. I. Miss De Wanger was acquainted with aviators knew key figures in the spy ring and in court identified Otto Hermann Voss a Seversky factory mechanic as a conspirator. He was one of those convicted.

Portrait of Judith Coplon being arrested for spying with the Soviet Valentin A. Gubitchev . Original photograph.
New York: March 15 1949. Silver print. French text on separate sheet pasted to verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 18 x 13 cm.Judith Coplon had pleaded innocent to a charge of espionage. The 27 year old former Justice Department analyst was arraigned before Federal Judge Richmond Keech who fixed bail at $100000 and set April 25 1949 as the date for her trial.NYTBy Sam RobertsMarch 1 2011:Judith Socolov who as a diminutive Barnard graduate named Judith Coplon was convicted of espionage more than 60 years ago after embracing a utopian vision of communism and falling in love with a Soviet agent died Saturday in Manhattan. She was 89.Her death was confirmed by her daughter Emily Socolov. A longtime Brooklyn resident the elder Ms. Socolov had been living in the Bronx.Judith Coplon was a 5-foot-tall 27-year-old political analyst for the Justice Department when she was arrested by the F.B.I. in 1949 with the Soviet agent Valentin A. Gubitchev on a Manhattan street corner. She had been identified from intercepted Soviet cables.But her convictions for espionage in 1949 and for conspiracy with Mr. Gubitchev in 1950 were overturned — in one case because federal agents overheard conversations with her lawyer and in the other because she was arrested on probable cause but without a warrant. Mr. Gubitchev and Miss Coplon were arrested by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who clearly identified themselves to Mr. Gubitchev and Miss Coplon. The agents escorted Mr. Gubitchev to the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States Courthouse on Foley Square.Upon his arrival at the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Mr. Gubitchev was searched fingerprinted and photographed.

The 1939 Wuthering Heights was produced by Samuel Goldwyn and directed by William Wyler starring Merle Oberon Laurence Olivier and David Niven.After leaving the White House in November 1938 Roosevelt moved to Hollywood California where he accepted a job as a $750/week "administrative assistant" equivalent to an annualized salary of $870068 in 2024 for motion picture producer Samuel Goldwyn. He was on Goldwyn's payroll until November 1940.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 21-year-old John Roosevelt causes an altercation with Mayor Pierre Nouveau of Cannes in 1937. Original photograph.
Cannes France: Aug. 19 1937. Silver print. French text on verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 18 x 13 cm.Shows John leaving a taxi in Paris after causing the following contetemps in Cannes. . Time Magazine: Monday Aug. 30 1937.This took place at Cannes France whose Mayor Pierre Nouveau almost created an international incident by his description of the conduct of 21-year-old John Roosevelt the President's youngest son at Cannes' "Battle of Flowers.".Mayor Nouveau spying John Roosevelt—or his spitting image—going past in an open carriage hurried down from his reviewing stand to give the city's distinguished guest a handsome bouquet and an eloquent French welcome. The lad picked up a bottle of champagne from the carriage floor squirted it full in his beaming face. While the gushing stream coursed down over the mayor's best suit of clothes the gay youngster taking the Battle of Flowers in too literal a sense seized the proffered bouquet and brought it down vigorously on the donor's head. M. Nouveau's emotions were inexpressible.Only notable misdemeanors of John Roosevelt have been arrests for speeding breaking photographers' cameras. In Paris where he went the evening after the Battle of Flowers Son John sought the diplomatic advice of his father's friend Ambassador William C. Bullitt then explained to the press that he had indeed attended the Cannes fete in a carriage put at his disposal by the proprietor of his hotel but had not attacked the mayor remembered nothing of the incident. Said he: ''I never met the mayor of Cannes. There were no speeches. I don't know anything about it. . . . It certainly must have been somebody else. . . .".Meanwhile in Cannes Mayor Nouveau reiterated his story: ". . . I regret to say I am certain now it was Mr. Roosevelt." Upshot of the Cannes Battle of Flowers was a deluge of French editorials night-club skits and radio songs; in the U. S. a comment by John Roosevelt's mother:"I am sure John told the truth about it when he said he didn't do it. because I have never known him to tell anything but the truth. He is one of the most dignified of my children. He never did any such thing at home and I can't imagine him doing any such thing abroad. If it happened. I am sure he didn't know the identity of the mayor. It is a perfectly understandable thing for any youngster to do in such a fete where everyone was throwing flowers and celebrating if he didn't know who the mayor was.".

New York: January 1949. Silver print . French text on separate sheet pasted to verso. Photographer's stamp verso. 13 x 18cm.On the afternoon of July 20 1948 FBI agents began rounding up twelve men in New York City Chicago and Detroit whom the U.S. government believed posed a grave threat to the nation--the leadership of the Communist Party-USA. After a series of delays eleven of the twelve "top Reds" went on trial in Manhattan's Foley Square in January 1949.The proceedings captivated the nation but the trial quickly dissolved into farce. The eleven defendants were charged under the 1940 Smith Act with conspiring to teach the necessity of overthrowing the U.S. government based on their roles as party leaders and their distribution of books and pamphlets. In essence they were on trial for their libraries and political beliefs not for overt acts threatening national security. Despite the clear conflict with the First Amendment the men were convicted and their appeals denied by the U.S. Supreme Court in a decision that gave the green light to federal persecution of Communist Party leaders--a decision the court effectively reversed six years later. But by then the damage was done. So rancorous was the trial the presiding judge sentenced the defense attorneys to prison terms too chilling future defendants' access to qualified counsel. New York: January 1949 unknown
