The 71 year old Hoover is speaking in his role as honorary chairman of the Famine Emergency Committee, appointed by President Truman after World War II. President Hoover speaks of difficult conditions and suffering of people in post-war Europe and England, but also discusses the balance needed between relief and rehabilitation over the world, and the need to prevent starvation, without putting too much drain on the American economy. He calls for providing only what is needed for "the bare maintenance of human life." He notes how difficult the difficult winter of 1946 has been for all of Europe and the UK.
HUAC testimony of "Hollywood Ten" member Samuel Ornitz during investigations into Communist affiliations in Hollywood
Meeting of the House Un-American Activities Committee, or HUAC, in October 1947, under J. Parnell Thomas (the so-called "Thomas Hearings."). Hollywood screenwriter Samuel Ornitz is questioned and asked if he is a member of the Screen Writer's Guild. Ornitz begins his response and expresses that his response is a matter of conscience. He speaks out against the intimidation tactics of the committee chairman. The Committee members continue to cut-off the response from Ornitz and push for a rapid answer to the question. Ornitz continues to give a longer answer and states his belief that the Committee is asking him to violate the Constitution. Robert Stripling is directed to ask the next question. Ornitz is asked "are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party." Ornitz continues to protest the line of questioning and likens his affiliation with any party to be like his affiliation with any religion and thus protected by the Constitution. The Committee asks if his party affiliations are directed by a foreign government. Ornitz is told to stand away and the next witness is called.
