Question: The Gang that cooperated with the agency created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty was a leading member of what committee?

Martin Gang ((1901--) 12, 1901 – (1998--) 29, 1998 ) was an American lawyer who fought against the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood blacklist.  From 1931 to his death, he was a partner in the American law firm now known as Gang, Tyre, Ramer, and Brown (originally Gang, Kopp, and Brown).  He was portrayed in the 1991 movie "Guilty by Suspicion".  One of the McCarthy era's most frequent "clearance" lawyers in Hollywood, Gang developed methods for ensuring that admitted but publicly repentant former communists could avoid studio blacklists and continue working in Hollywood.  He counseled his clients to cooperate with the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC), to admit their connection to communism, to fully repudiate their former beliefs, and to tell HUAC what they knew about former friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who were involved in communist groups.  Counseling clients to "name names" is without question the most controversial and puzzling aspect of Gang's career.  How could a lifelong liberal and founding member of the National Lawyer's Guild have been involved with facilitating and legitimatizing the work of HUAC?  Gang himself thought he was merely zealously representing the interests of his client who simply wanted to keep working.  In the 1950s, Gang was known for providing legal representation to movie industry workers who cooperated with the House Un-American Activities Committee and was a leading member of the American Jewish Committee.  HUAC already had the names so none of the people he counseled to cooperate with HUAC were damaging anyone who wasn't already implicated.  But to cooperate with a witch hunt and to legitimize the witch hunters by cooperating with them is a bizarre legacy for a man of Martin Gang's stature and liberal bona fides. <SEP> John Young Brown (June 28, 1835January 11, 1904) was a politician from the U.S. state of Kentucky.  He represented the state in the United States House of Representatives and served as its 31st governor.  Brown was elected to the House of Representatives for three non-consecutive terms, each of which was marred by controversy.  He was first elected in 1859, despite his own protests that he was not yet twenty-five years old; the for serving in the legislature.  The voters of his district elected him anyway, but he was not allowed to take his seat until the Congress' second session, after he was of legal age to serve.  After moving to Henderson, Kentucky, Brown was elected from that district in 1866.  On this occasion, he was denied his seat because of alleged disloyalty to the Union during the Civil War.  Voters in his district refused to elect another representative, and the seat remained vacant throughout the term to which Brown was elected.  After an unsuccessful gubernatorial bid in 1871, Brown was again elected to the House in 1872 and served three consecutive terms.  During his final term, he was officially censured for delivering a speech excoriating Massachusetts Representative Benjamin F. Butler.  The censure was later expunged from the congressional record. <SEP> The Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (Portuguese: "Superintendência de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste" ), or Sudene (] ) for short, is a Brazilian governmental agency created in 1959, during the government of President Juscelino Kubitschek (1956-1961), to stimulate economic growth in the northeastern region of Brazil, one of the poorest of the country, that faces chronic droughts and has a semi-arid climate.  Sudene was created by suggestion of economist Celso Furtado, one of the leading intellectuals of Brazil, who was the agency's first director. <SEP> The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC; a.k.a., House Committee on Un-American Activities, HUAC or HCUA) was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives.  In 1969, the House changed the committee's name to "House Committee on Internal Security".  When the House abolished the committee in 1975, its functions were transferred to the House Judiciary Committee.  The HUAC was created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities on the part of private citizens, public employees, and those organizations suspected of having communist ties.
