This organization was the Workers Alliance of America. Neither man denied his association. both freely admitted membership during their early adulthood when. jobless. they attended meetings. pamphleteered for relief of economic ills. and enjoyed the groups social dances. Fourteen years later. in the wave of a heightened campaign against communism. because these men were aliens and because the Workers Alliance was designated a Communistfront group by the Subversive Activities Control Board. they were deported. separated from their families. banished from the country that had been their home for all but a few months of their lives. Their deportation orders were the result of actions by the Board of Immigration Appeals. acting upon the testimony of two exCommunists whose testimony never was heard in a court. The order was upheld in district court. in the court of appeals and. by a 5to4 decision. in the Supreme Court. In his dissenting opinion.
