Abstract:

Records of an organization formed to support the legal defense of Jim Bingham, Ralph Levitt, and Tom Morgan, three officers of the Young Socialist Alliance at Indiana University, who were charged with subversive conspiracy under the Indiana Anti-Subversive Act of 195l. The collection consists of correspondence of the national office in New York, 1960-1966 (some with lawyer Leonard B. Boudin); correspondence and records of various local chapters; microfilmed newsclippings, 1960-1966; and internal records. The latter include summaries of important events in the case, legal documents and memoranda, lists of sponsors and contributors, some financial records, press releases, publications, and a candid evaluation of the character and political views of 195 politically prominent Bloomington residents.
