Description:
In the early months of 1934, the Portland Police Bureau secretly organized and financed a group of “special citizens and officers” into the infamous Red Squad. This group was responsible for monitoring, tracking, collecting information, infiltrating, harassing, and intimidating members of the Communist Party and labor organizers throughout the 1930s, and also worked in cooperation during the 1950s with the Velde Commission/House Un-American Activities Committee investigation of Stanley Moore. The Red Squad used these offices with an unlisted phone number and address.
