American Committee for Spanish Freedom
The American Committee for Spanish Freedom was identified as a Communist front organization by the California Senate Factfinding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities in 1948. The organization opposed the Nationalist faction, and supported the Abraham Lincoln Brigades and others fighting for the Republican faction. Allen Chase was secretary and a 1936 candidate for Congress in New York on the Communist Party ticket. Other leaders included Bishop Hartman (chairman), Bartley Crum (vice-chairman), Representative John M. Coffee (vice-chairman), Stephen H. Fritchman of First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, Dalton Trumbo and Albert Maltz.[1]
National offices were located at 55 West Forty-Second Street, New York City [2] and by 1945 headquarters were listed as 5245 De Longpre Avenue, Los Angeles.
