Congressman Samuel Dickstein (New York), co-founder of the House Special Committee on Un-American Activities (which was evetually made a standing committee and became HUAC) and committee vice-chair from 1934-1944, was discovered in the 1990s to have been on the payroll of the NKVD from 1937-1940. Moscow paid him $1,250 a month for intelligence reports.

You cannot make this shit up.

I think the fact that he was a mole for the communists and has the word "Dick" in his name means that he was meant to be the namesake for Red Skull's mole on the House Unregistered Superhuman Activities Committee for fixit fic.

I am so proud of my state. New York: sponsoring left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers since 1624!
