Red Scare and Spies Many Americans believed that communism was a threat to national security. There were only about 50,000 communists in the US. Two spy cases increased Americans’ fear.

In 1948 Alger Hiss, a former State Department official, was accused of spying for the Soviet Union. Too many years had passed for him to be charged with espionage but he was convicted of perjury.

Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were accused of helping German-born physicist Klaus Fuchs give information on the a-bomb to the Soviets. They were found guilty and executed.

In March 1947 President Truman set up the Loyalty Review Board. Its goal was to investigate government employees and dismiss those found to be disloyal to the US.

The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was a congressional committee that investigated Communist influence inside and outside the U.S. government.

The Hollywood Ten were a group of screenwriters and directors who refused to cooperate with the HUAC investigation of the Communist influence in Hollywood.

Activity Answer the following questions on a sheet of paper: 1.What does this cartoon say about HUAC? 2.Do you think this could happen today? Explain.
