No. 10. of this publication. dated June 1954. contained a "Statement of Principles" which set forth that the organization was formed "to help meet the growing menace to the Bill of Rights" as indicated by the following: Repressive administrative orders and loyalty purges on the part of the Federal. State. and city governments. A number of laws which undermine the Bill of Rights such as the Smith Act. the Internal Security Act. and the WalterMcCarran Immigration Act. The veritable inquisition established by Congressional investigating committees. * * * The use of arbitrary lists of subversive organizations by both governmental authorities and private institutions. Analysis of this publication of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee shows that this organization has been active in promoting a number of cases and campaigns which are promoted by the Communist press and which involve individual members of the Communist Party.
