1948 Melvin Rader was accused of being a communist by the Canwell Committee (the Joint Legislative Fact Finding Committee on Un-American Activities)
1951 Melvin Rader was later exonerated in 1951 by Attorney General, Smith Troy. Ed Guthman, a Seattle Times investigative reporter, received a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting of the events.
Edwin O Guthman's articles provided evidence that the Washington State Un-American Activities Committee suppressed evidence that cleared University of Washington professor Melvin Rader of false charges of being a Communist.
