About which of Hellman's situation are you asking?
The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) hearings on Communist activity
Some Americans were afraid that the Communists would bomb us and take us over. Bomb shelters were built and many people suspected their neighbors, teachers, and entertainers of being Communist spies. Others stood up for democracy and resisted McCarthyism. Their fear was that they were losing their civil liberties to anti-communist mania.
