Former communist[edit]

Was he a former communist party member? JJstroker 05:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/schulbe.htm says: "In 1947 the House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) started its investigations in the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry. A screenwriter named Schulberg as a former member of the Communist Party - he had left the party about in 1940. "My opposition to communists and Soviet dictatorship is a matter of record," Schulberg wrote in his telegram to HUAC."

A source for his 1951 HUAC appearance:

Trussell, C. P. (1951) "Schulberg Tells of Red Dictation: Move To Control His Writing Cause Him to Leave Party, Novelist Says in Inquiry," The New York Times, May 24, 1951, p. 16:

Budd Schulberg, novelist, testified voluntarily before the House Committee on Un-American Activities today that he became a Communist during the late Nineteen Thirties but quit the party when it tried to dictate what he should write.

I came to this page to find out about the consequences of his testimony, on his career and on the lives of those he "named" but there is scant conversation here (unlike the discussion on Elia Kazan's entry). I think it deserves more consideration. 63.143.213.245 (talk) 20:55, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nürnberg[edit]

It should be mentioned Schulberg's role in gathering documentation for the Nürnberg trial.

Thanks for the reminder. I added a paragraph. Rarmin (talk) 14:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem[edit]

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

German-speaking?[edit]

Schulberg's ethnic heritage and war service suggest that he might have been bilingual, but the article is mute on the subject. Can anyone add and ref this detail, if a fact? Laodah 17:29, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
