THE SPECIAL REPORT
The following information is supplied to subscribers of this Summary and other Legionaires in response to many past requests for the records of various unsuitable individuals appearing on radio and television shows.
Despite the recent build-up given to her by Life Magazine (and incidently Life seems to have a bad shot of virus infection, having boosted recently two fellow travelers with long records in recent issues), Judy Holliday has been of great solace to the Moscow-tied lads and lassies who look for big names as sucker bait for their front operations. Judy Holliday has the following impressive list of Communist front affiliations:

In spring the aforesaid cited [word too light to read on my copy], Judy Holliday or Judy Tuvim (as she was originally known) had acted as a sponsor, led picket line, and/or held office. In addition, She sent greetings to the Moscow Art Theater on its 60th Anniversary (a political act instead of the artistic pleasentry it might be assumed), and spoke by recording at a rally at the Hotel Astor sponsored by the Stop Censorship Committee.
Judy did a television show on Ford's Sunday Evening TV Theatre last November. She played the part of the dumb blond in "Born Yesterday" and is scheduled to take that part, originally set for Jean Arthur, in Columbia Picture's [Sic] forthcoming production of that show. A Louella Parsons' interview with Judy Holliday has her saying that the picture will be done quickly.
We won't assume that Judy Holliday pretends to know a lot about Spain, peace, Africa, the Russian theater, or intellectualism, but she has demonstrated her willingness to sign statements, lead picket lines, etc., for organizations cited as subversive by competent government agencies.
