Morford, Richard.
Richard Morford (1903-1986), a Presbyterian minister trained at Union Theological Seminary, was the Executive Director (1946-1980) of the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship. In 1950 Morford served a three-month jail term for refusing to turn over the NCASFs membership and financial records to the House Un-American Activities Committee, and from 1953-1963 he contested, successfully the claim by the Subversive Activities Control Board that the NCASF was a communist front organization.
