Marlowe, Alex | July 17, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

The latest developments in the career of informer Paul Crouch are being followed carefully by observers of the Smith Act trial of nine alleged Communist leaders of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania . As the government's first witness here, Crouch clashed so strongly with defense lawyers that the reverberations have been felt nationally. Even before the Alsop brothers tore into him, Crouch had been exposed on the witness stand in the federal court. Thomas D. McBride, chief defense counsel, demolished Crouch's recital of his career as a Communist Party member from the 1920's to 1942.
