Description

Raymond Joseph Healey, 21-year-old self-styled “American Hitler,” pictured giving the Fascist salute, after appearing before the Congressional Committee on Un-American Affairs at the Bar Association building in New York City, Dec. 5th. Asked “I’m a Hitler,” Healey admitted after questioning, “but I believe in the Constitution of the United States.” Dickstein then reminded Healey that he had once been active in the Communist Party.Credit line (ACME) 12/5/34Stamp: ACME Newspictures, Inc.; Ref.
