Herbert Fuchs

His parents Alfred Fuchs and Paula Hacker came from Vienna, Austria, and settled in Manhattan's Washington Heights, then home to many Germans-speakers.

[2][3] In November 1948, Fuchs left the NRLB as the Hiss-Chambers Case (which had started in August) continued to grab news headlines.

[2] In July 1955, the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) subpoenaed Fuchs to see whether he could help identify members of the "Ware Group.

Fuchs had fully disclosed to Anderson the extent of his activities at the time the story of his Communist Party membership broke.

[1] In the university community, there was a contingent that believed Anderson had reneged on his initial position when he fired Fuchs for failure to disclose his Communist Party Membership at the time of his hiring.

HUAC asked him detailed questions about Allan Rosenberg, who had also worked at the Board of Economic Warfare, where his supervisor was Max Lowenthal.

Fuchs would not say whether Lowenthal was a communist but did confirm that Rosenberg had also worked in the office of Nathan Witt, by that time Secretary of the NLRB.

Returning to comrades at the Board of Economic Welfare, Fuchs named Woodrow Sandler, Jacob H. Krug, Mortimer Riemer, Ruth Weyand, Margaret Bennett Porter, John W. Porter, Harry Cooper, Frank Donner, Edward Scheunemann, Bert Diamond.

Eventually, Fuchs named Victor Perlo as Party dues collector at the NLRB; Arthur Stein succeeded him.

[6] Toward the end of his testimony, HUAC had an editorial read into the transcript from a December 10, 1955, issue of the Saturday Evening Post entitled "Why No Fuss When a Helpful Ex-Red Professor is Fired?"
