The Case of the Legless Veteran

The Case of the Legless Veteran

It is now 37 years ago that the United States
government decided James Kutcher was a security
risk because of his membership in the Trotskyist
Socialist Workers party, then on the Attorney-
General’s list of subversive organizations. He was
fired from his job as a clerk in the Vocational and
Rehabilitation Division of the Veterans’ Adminis-
tration in Newark, New Jersey, in 1948.
