Acknowledging that HUAC's $327 thous- and budget was large, Walter said, "I just wanted to see if it would start something." Some of the slight opposition to the request came from a crowd of "penny-pinchers," he maintained.

Most of the 15 YDCHR members who heard Walter were generally impressed by him and agreed with his observation that HUAC is not "bloodthirsty" as its critics maintain. After Walter spoke to the group, Alfred M. Nittle, the Committee's counsel, spent 45 minutes defending HUAC's legality in response to questions. Nittle claimed that Chief Justice Earl Warren offered "a gratuitous insult to the people" when he asked what un-American meant in a recent dissenting opinion. "The term is no more vague than due process," Nittle pointed out, "which the Court has no trouble trying to interpret."

Earlier, the group was shown through HUAC's 10-room suite which includes a million-name closed file of American Communists and an extensive collection of publications ranging from National Review to the Worker. The suite also has prominent pictures of U.S. Communist Party leaders and a large wall map of the U.S. with red pins showing the sites of Communist Party offices.

Nittle gave each member of the group a seven pound bundle of Committee publications.
