Samuel Horowitz papers, 1938-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122337043

Correspondence, printed materials (1938-1956), and newspaper clippings (1949-1956) containing information on Samuel Horowitz, who later used the name Paul A. Brown, and his trial for alleged illegal change of name. Horowitz, a Communist Party organizer and union worker in St. Paul and Minneapolis (1949-1952), moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1952. At that time he changed his name to Paul A. Brown and worked briefly in the city, returning to Minneapolis in 1954, at which time he was arrested for using an assumed name. He served six months in prison for this act and, after lengthy legal maneuvers, was extradited to Wisconsin on a similar charge. The case was dismissed by a Wisconsin judge in July, 1956.
