Between May and September 1949, Nevada's ardent anti-communist Democratic senator Patrick A. McCarran chaired a subcommittee created to expose Soviet sympathizers within American ethnic communities. They targeted Slovene immigrant and best-selling author Louis Adamic because of his continued support for Yugoslav Communist guerrilla fighter and eventual dictator Josip Broz Tito. Over the previous two decades, Adamic had gained widespread acclaim for arguing that capitalist greed fomented working-class acts of sabotage, challenging Anglo-Saxon hegemony, and detailing the tyranny of the Serbian monarchy in Yugoslavia. By the time of his death in 1951-which his local New Jersey coroner ruled a suicide, but others insist was murder-Adamic had written thirteen books, over five hundred articles, and a number of pamphlets. His works appeared in magazines such as The Nation, New Republic, Harper's, and the The Saturday Evening Post. Academics assigned his books in their classes, Treasury Department officials used his stories on radio programs during World War II to sell war bonds, and presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman met with him at the White House to discuss immigrant patriotism and Tito's regime, respectively. Anti-Communists had no desire to put Adamic's work and activism into perspective. Affiliating with Communists, they insisted, made him a subversive.3. Adapted from the source document.
