LA 100-33973 "HERBERT BIBERMAN: "Blacklisting has created fear in the hearts of many a family and because of the investigating committees, who are always investigating somebody, many of our most brilliant writers have had to serve prison terms...it is mighty hard to try to tell a youngster 8,10 or 12 years old, that his pad is going to be away for a year..that he's going to prison because here in America he does not have freedom of speech. — ; “What is the answer? Certainly not KENNEDY...if he lives to be President for 100 years, he would have to prove anything he said 50 times and I'd only believe haif of it. The CIA? Now there's an outfit that should be investigated (applause) and even the Supreme Court that . used to be able to make decisions that were beneficial, have. deserted us recently..the most recent example is WILKINSON and BRADEN...again we have two more victims of the Un-American Committee. .with their incessant questions. .Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party? ¢ and it the witness says ‘yes' then off to jail he goas...and if he says ‘no’ then they get him on a perjury charge and off to priigon he goes...60 you see, you just can't win, the way.the rules are set up...unless you are in with the capitalist crawd...no'one went to prison in the recent G-E case... ; the HUCA.is setting up a regular thought-control operation... we don't object to having an indelible stamp inked on-eur besf to show that it is prime or top grade, but we do. object to having a stamp put on our minds, always having someone else approve of what you say...this is not freedom of spesch...and if there is anything worse than the black- ' gexeet that has been created for those on the blacklist, I haven't seen it yet...
