Rosenberg Case
Roseberg spy case and supporting fronts
The main site for the National Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell, and its successor the National Committee to Re-Open The Rosenberg Case is found at the page for the National Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell". This page was created to house the information from one very large CPUSA front ad by the National Committee to Re-Open the Rosenberg Case, Morton Sobell having been thrown to the wind in terms of being a fundraising name for the Communist Party. They did keep proclaiming his innocence until he got out of jail and admitted that he had been a Soviet spy all along. With the opening of the Venona papers, the CPUSA basically dropped their Rosenberg fronts activities, with many of their original members having passed away.
Background
The Rosenberg spy case was of the most sensational Soviet espionage cases was that of Julius Rosenberg and his wife, Ethel Rosenberg, along with other members of the family/by marriage. Their activities took place during WW2 and involved secrets concerning the building of the first atomic bomb in history.
Both during and after the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell were convicted of atomic espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party USA created several support fronts claiming that they were the victims of a "witchhunt" against liberals and communists and that they were totally innocent. These fronts were used to raise money for their "defense", but according to former CPUSA member Herb Romerstein, then U.S. Government internal security investigator, most of the money went directly to the Party coffers.
The Party did give them top communist and CP sympathizer lawyers, including such attorneys as:
- George C. Crockett, Jr. - Michigan communist attorney who was secondarily "outed" by the House Committee on Un-American Activities in their report on "The National Committee to Free the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell, 1954 when they quoted from a CP leaflet saying that those case attorneys who went to jail for contempt of court were from the CPUSA. This exact quote appears in the KW section on CPUSA fronts.
- Arthur Kinoy - handled their appeal, with other lawyers
After the conviction, other CPUSA fronts were created to "clear" the Rosenbergs and Sobell of their convictions for espionage and treason. One was entitled the National Committee to Re-Open the Rosenberg Case, 250 West 57th Street, Room 606, New York, New York, 10019, (212) 265-0918, Margery Rosenthal, Director[1].
Communist Party Rosenberg/Sobell Front Ads
They placed a large ad in the New York Times newspaper of Wed., June 18, 1975, p. 50, entitled "What Are They Afraid Of"? with a theme of "Open The Files of the Rosenberg Case!"
The full text of this ad will appear below, along with the names of the original signers of this ad, plus "sponsors" from the US and Canada, some several hundred names, many of whom in both lists, were open or congressionally identified members of the CPUSA and their well-documents sympathizers. Documentation on their true identities, from sworn congressional testimonies to both open and covert Party documents and newspapers, will be cited whenever possible (over time due to the large number of people involved).
Just because a name appears in this ad does not mean that they are either a CPUSA member or sympathizer. However, a number of dupes are always available to sign CPUSA ads or to join their protests over something, and their names can appear over and over again in other items here at KW. What is interesting is that a number of core members of the "Hanoi Lobby" including Jane Fonda. Anne Braden, A. Bloom aka Abraham Bloom, Howard Zinn, Sidney Lens, Pete Seeger and Noam Chomsky signed this and other ads on behalf of the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell over time.
One reason these names are being listed is because this may be the only open database on Communist Party fronts and activities that will list them for the public to see, and to help historians/researchers of Communism get a better idea of what the CPUSA was doing in many areas of American life. While some of the listees will turn out not to be CPUSA members or even sympathizes, from a review of the complete list, it was evident that the CPUSA and its supporters tapped into their membership, their mailing lists, fronts mailing lists, and sympathetic organizations for "sponsors".
Also, some of these names may show up in somewhat obscure publications such as the "Elector" roles of people who pledged to support the CPUSA in the listed elections, esp. those from 1936, 1940 and possibly 1942, which were published by the U.S. Government. It looks like the wives of CPUSA members and known sympathizers are also listed due to their unusual names being recognized by KW researchers. There is also the possibility that some names are the children of CPUSA members and veteran sympathizers. However, trying to track them all down for verification would take years so people interested in those listed below will have to search elsewhere, so as "Who's Who", obituaries (a great place to find family trees), books by and about these people, and newspaper articles.
TEXT OF AD:"What Are They Afraid Of"
Witness the Pentagon Papers. Watergate. Secret tapes that undid Nixon. 2 Attorneys General convicted. FBI Head ousted. Investigation of the CIA on charges of illegalities. Dirty tricks and dirty tricksters.
"What Are They Afraid Of?"
"Each new shock wave of duplicity in high places makes it imperative that we look vigorously and fearlessly into the most controversial case of the McCarthy Ear and the Cold War - The Rosenberg-Sobell case."
"When the Soviet Union exploded the A-bomb in 1949, the advocates of the Cold War began a frantic hunt to find scapegoats who could be blamed. Ethel & Julius Rosenberg were executed on June 19, 1953 on a charge of conspiracy to commit espionage. Despite serious questions as to the legality of the procedures in the trial and the dubious validity of the evidence, and despite worldwide appeals for clemency, they were convicted and died in the electric chair, maintaining their innocence to the end. Today, Michael Meeropol and Robert Meeropol, the sons of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, are trying to clear their parents' names."
"Commencing long before the execution and mounting steadily throughout the years, a body of evidence has grown to support the position of those asserting that the case was riddled with perjury and falsification of evidence by officials in government trying to feed the Cold War, exploit the hysteria and frighten dissenters. Yet as Justice Hugo Black observed on the eve of the Rosenbergs' execution, the Supreme Court 'never reviewed this (trial) record and never affirmed the fairness of this trial'."
"We the undersigned, believing our country should now confront this cornerstone case, related in a fundamental way to what government does with power, call for:"
"1. FULL DISCLOSURE under the Freedom of Information Act of all material pertaining to the Rosenberg case in the files of the FBI, CIA, AEC, White House, and Departments of Justice, State, and Defense. Recent disclosures have already pointed dramatically to new avenues of inquiry. Meanwhile, steps must be taken to prevent any more Rosenberg files from being 'lost,' as the FBI has claimed." "2. FULL INVESTIGATION by an appropriate arm of Congress as to why the government agencies have not complied with the Freedom of Information Act, why the agencies have refused to release ALL the Rosenberg files, and why 'national security' continues to be used as an excuse for government non-compliance with the law and refusal to let Americans know the truth."

- James Aronson - A long-time open Marxist affiliated with number CPUSA fronts and cause including the splinter group involved with the "Minority of One" publication. He was a "participant" in the Feb. 12, 1972 "35th Anniversary Celebration" of the CPUSA front, Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (VALB), according to a notice in the CPUSA's newspaper, the Daily World (DW), Feb. 5, 1972, p. 10.
- A. Bloom - Given the problem of having only a first initial for a name, it causes a problem for accurately identifying who that name is. However, one Abraham Bloom Abe Bloom of the Washington, D.C. area, has a Communist Party USA record (including fronts) going back to the 1940's. He was a leader of the so-called "peace movement" in DC, including SANE (Montgomery County), National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (National Mobe), and its two successors, the New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (New Mobe) and the Peoples Coalition for Peace & Justice (PCPJ), the CPUSA's faction of the old Mobes movements, the D.C. Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (DC Mobe), associated with the far-left Washington Peace Center (WaPC), the Gray Panthers organization, and many other such groups. In an interview in the Washington Post (WP) in 1999 (see KW page about him), he told the reporter that he had lied about being a member of the CPUSA (even when he was a member of the staff of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) working on the proximity fuse for the atomic bomb). His electronics company was staffed by at least two other identified DC/MD CPUSA members, Helen Gurewitz, the first wife of admitted and convicted Soviet spy Morton Sobell, and her second husband Casey Gurewitz, both the parents of Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and their front, the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (Student Mobe), Don Gurewitz.
Bloom was also a close friend of another identified CPUSA member and electronics expert, Alfred Henley. Together they both visited, nearly simultaneously, during WW2, the Emerson Radio Laboratory in NJ where classified work on the atomic bomb project was being done. Collectively, these people are now suspected by an internal security specialist/researcher of being part of an unidentified Soviet spy ring during WW2, based in the National Bureau of Standards (where Casey Gurewitz worked at least as early at 1937/38, according to intelligence records found at the National Archives. This could potentially be one of the never-discovered Soviet spy rings that the late FBI undercover agent Herb Philbrick of "I Led Three Lives fame, told some of his closet friends, as well as government investigators as early as the late 1940's.
- Anne Braden - one of the longest time CPUSA members who worked in the South for the Party and its fronts. She was the wife of another key CPUSA organizer in the South, Carl Braden, both of such CPUSA fronts as SCEF, SIPO/TIPO, "The Patriot" publication, and even with the Highlander School.
