'''Nathan Witt''' was hired by the [[New Deal]] [[Agricultural Adjustment Administration]] (AAA) in the early 1930's. He later worked at the [[National Labor Relations Board]] (NLRB). Witt was a member of the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA), the U.S. affiliate of the global Moscow directed [[Comintern]] organization who's stated aim was [[World Revolution]] "by all available means, including armed force, for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie and for the creation of an international [[Soviet republic]] as a transition stage to the complete abolition of the State." Federal regulations forbade partisan political activity by federal employees, so Witt became a member of the CPUSA's secret apparatus and worked in the [[Ware group]], a group of about 75 underground communists within the [[Roosevelt Administration]] who advocated the violent overthrow of the [[United States Government]]. [[Alger Hiss]], [[Lee Pressman]], [[Charles Kramer]], [[Henry Collins]], [[Victor Perlo]], [[Donald Hiss]], [[George Silverman]] and [[John Abt]] all were members. The passage of the [[Smith Act]] in June 1940, which criminalized advocating the forceful overthrow of U.S. government, did not alter their view. Upon the death of the Ware groups leader, Harold Ware in 1935, Witt moved into a key position of leadership.
