http://doddcenter.uconn.edu/asc/findaids/Goldring/MSS19910037.html

Jacob (Jack) Goldring was born March 5, 1915 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Goldring's family moved to Hartford, Connecticut in 1928 when Jack was thirteen. Jack Goldring had a lengthy association with the Connecticut Communist party. After becoming a party member in 1936, he held many posts in the party's state apparatus; among them, Chairman of the Stanford Branch, 1938-1940; Chairman, G.E. Club, Bridgeport, 1946-1947; Fairfield County Chairman, 1947, 1952; and Legislative Director, 1954. In May of 1954, Goldring's communist affiliations led to his arrest by the F.B.I. Charged under the provisions of the Smith Act for pursuing subversive activities, his case was eventually dismissed on a technicality.
