[0253] Bay Area Student Committee to Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities Records, 1958-1965, Mss 90
Location: Wisconsin Historical Society, Library-Archives Division, 816 State Street, Madison, WI 53706
Description: Records of an organization (1960-1964) of students from the San Francisco area that was active in both national and local opposition to the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Much of the collection focuses on BASCAHCUA's exposé of the biased representation of a 1960 anti-HUAC demonstration in San Francisco that appeared in the film Operation Abolition. Organizational and operational records consist of internal and external correspondence, financial records, public relations materials, legal material, minutes, and agenda. The internal correspondence between officers Burton White and Irving Hall reflects the dissatisfaction felt by San Francisco members with White's neglect of them in favor of national activities. In the external correspondence there are letters from Aubrey Williams and James Roosevelt. Five boxes comprise a reference file of newspaper clippings and printed matter on related topics. There are files on the John Birch Society, Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, Barry Goldwater, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, McCarthyism, Nazis, Operation Abolition, Communism, and Radical Right.

Location: Georgetown University Manuscripts, Booth Family Center for Special Collections, Georgetown University, 37th & O Streets NW, Washington, DC 20057-1174
Description: The Natsionalno-Trudovoi Soiuz (NTS) (The National Worker's Alliance) was a Russian anti-Communist émigré organization, founded in Germany in 1930. Its founder and first chief executive, Victor Mikhailovich Baydalakoff (1900-1967), served with the anti-Bolshevik Don Cossack Army until its defeat and evacuation in 1920. The NTS was dedicated to the liberation of Russia from the yoke of Communism, seeking to replace it with a society based on the precepts of Russian Christian brotherhood and solidarity between all classes. In 1955, Baydalakoff left the organization to form a splinter group, the Russian National Labor Alliance (RNTS). The collection consists of organizational materials, documents, reports, and publications relating to the NTS, including examples of anti-Communist agitational literature.

[0259] John Beckett Collection, 1914-1998, MS 238
Location: Special Collections, The University Library, The University of Sheffield, Western Bank, Sheffield S10 2TN, UK
Description: John Warburton Beckett (1894-1964) was a British politician and a leading figure in the Fascist movement. The collection consists of books, journals, and some documents formerly belonging to Beckett, together with research materials assembled by his son, the journalist Francis Beckett, during the writing of his biography of his father The Rebel Who Lost His Cause, published in 1999. In 1933 he was declared bankrupt and his second marriage failed, and he joined the British Union of Fascists, like Mosley having been impressed through visits to Italy by the achievements of the Mussolini regime. During his years with the BUF he was widely involved in agitational work, took a full share in rowdy meetings, became Director of Publicity, and for the years 1936-7 edited both Action and Blackshirt. By Spring 1937, when he was dismissed from the BUF, Beckett was openly critical of Mosley. With William Joyce, dismissed at the same time, he founded the National Socialist League, but this organisation never achieved more than a small number of members. He left the League in 1938 but remained in contact with Joyce until the latter left for Germany shortly before World War II. In September 1938 Joyce joined with Viscount Lymington to form the British Council Against European Commitments, to which the NSL became affiliated. Beckett and Lymington published a monthly journal, the New Pioneer, championing non-involvement in European affairs. Beckett then moved to a new organisation which he joined with Lymington and the Marquis of Tavistock (later the Duke of Bedford), the British Peoples Party, of which he became Secretary, which had as its slogan Campaign against War and Usury. Its aims were monetary reform, the championing of small shopkeepers against trusts, security of employment, and electoral reform. In May 1940 Beckett was arrested under Defence Regulation 18B and interned, along with many other political detainees considered a potential danger by the Home Secretary, Herbert Morrison. The series Books and Journals contains copies of Fascist Quarterly; Oswald Mosley: portrait of a leader, by A.K. Chesterton (London, Action Press, [1937]); B.U.F.: Oswald Mosley and British Fascism, by James Drennan [i.e., W.E.D.

London, BUF, 1934); Decline and Fall of the Labour Party, by John Scanlon (London, Peter Davies, [1932]); National Socialism now, by William Joyce (London, National Socialist League, 1937); The New Pioneer, Vol. 1, Nos. 1-9 (London, British Council Against European Commitments, Dec 1938-August 1939); Famine in England, by Viscount Lymington (London, Witherby, 1938); Failure at Nuremberg: (an analysis of trial, evidence and verdict), by Anne Cutmore (Mrs Anne Beckett) (London, Research Department of the British Peoples Party, n.d.); The Truth about this war, by Anne Cutmore (Mrs Anne Beckett) (London, Research Department of the British Peoples Party, 1939); Alternative to death: the relationship between soil, family and community, by the Earl of Portsmouth (Viscount Lymington) (London, Faber and Faber, 1943); The Red network: the Communist International at work, ed. J. Baker White (London, Duckworth, 1939); and The new unhappy lords: an exposure of power politics, by A.K. Chesterton (London, Candour, 1965).

[0260g] Michael Bedford Collection, 1982-1991 (bulk 1986-1989), COLL00014
Location: International Institute of Social History (IISH), Cruquiusweg 31, 1019 AT Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Description: Michael Bedford (1946– ) lived and worked in the Philippines in 1970-1972 and 1975 and was involved in the anti-Marcos movement that centered on U.S. involvement in Philippine politics. Between 1986 and 1990 Bedford conducted interviews in the Philippines, most of them directly after the EDSA revolution in 1986. The purpose of his research was to understand the political struggles during the Corazon Aquino presidency between Legal Left groups and the liberation theology arm of the Roman Catholic Church on one side, and the conservative Roman Catholic Church, the rise in U.S. Protestant missionaries and corresponding growth of local anti-Communist vigilante organizations under the name of Christ on the other side. This is a documentation/research collection on right-wing vigilantes in the Philippines and the support they found in right-wing Christian groups in the USA. The vigilantes were responsible for the killings of many human rights activists, left wing activists, and labour leaders. The collection contains 56 audiocassettes consisting of unpublished interviews with a right wing vigilante, the head of the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade [CACC], priests involved in Liberation Theology, human rights workers, and others. Also included are 247 photos and slides of demonstrations and protest meetings of various parties and groups to the left and to the right of the political spectrum in the Philippines and of some other events, 1982-1991.
