SF 116-52286 | : EOR: wap . ~ NATIONAL CITIZENS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE The Fifth Report of the Un-American Activities Committee to the 1949 Regular California Legislature at page 351, cited the National Citizens Political Action Committee as "typical of the completely Communist created and controlled organizations in the...political association and civic committee field." This Report indicates it was also cited in the 1948 Report of the same Committee at page 38. At page 315 of the 1949 Report of the above Committee, the following is set forth: "The Hollywood Unit of the Independent Citizens Committee of the Apts, Sciences and Professions. Cited as a Communist front which was successor to a number of Communist fronts, including Motion Picture Democratic Committee, and Hollywood Democratic Committee. When ICCASP ‘joined hands' with National Citizens Political Action Committee to 'form the new political Communist front, Progressive Citizens of America, HICCASP became the Hollywood Unit. (PCA later merged into the Independent Progressive Party, just before the 1948 presidential campaign, in the HENRY WALLACE third party, but the nucleus of HICCASP regrouped late in 1948 as the Ayts, Sciences and Professions Council'.) 2 Be i tay The 1955 Report of the California Committee on Un-American Activities, page 46, stated, "The Independent Progressive Party in California was quickly captured by the Communists, and by the time the Wallace for President campaign had swung into high — gear was being operated lock, stock and barrel by the Communist Party of California. Time after time the committee in question- ing witnesses throughout the State discovered that the leaders of the Communist Parties in various localities were identical with the leaders of the Independent Progressive Party in the same area, It is true, of course, that in the Independent Progressive Party there were many sincere liberals who, because of dissatisfaction with the two major political organizations registered as Independent Progressives and continued their affiliation until the true control of the I.P.P. became obvious. These people invariably resigned, many of them having given the benefit of their experience to various official agencies interested in the exposure of subversive activities."
