I Googled "William Alland" "HUAC" last night and got only about 50 hits, most of them Bernard Gordon bellyaching about him, and people quoting Gordon or writing about Gordon's career. The fact that there aren't an avalanche of people griping that Alland named names gives me the impression that one guy, correctly or incorrectly, started all this. I don't know if he "named" Gordon or not. Alland told me he was unhelpful to the committee and laughingly told me it'd be fun to get a copy of his testimony, he'd like to read it himself, and wanted me to get it for him/us. Yeah, he really sounds like a guy with a lot to cover up.
