His comment didnt derail anyone's career-it was the witch hunters who did that. Ives said RDB had rejected Communism and had also stopped going to the meetings SEVEN or EIGHT YEARS BEFORE THE HEARING DATE! He also said that RDB had started going to the lectures around the same time he did. He never said anything about RDB being a prominent or important member or recruiter. But they didn't care about that. They only heard what they wanted to hear. I'm telling ya, its sick.

I don't recall seeing Tony Kraber's name.

I don't doubt Burl was worried about his own career being ruined by the bloodsuckers, that fear seems to come through in his testimony and it was a well justified fear.
