A BLAST FROM THE PAST a little ELSINORE HISTORY

Excerpts from
Eleventh Report of the Senate Fact-Finding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities, California Legislature
Communism in Elsinore 
We first received information about alleged Communist influence in Elsinore from Senator Nelson S. Dilworth, former vice-chairman of this Committee, and Senator from Riverside County, now retired. On December 4, 1957, Senator Dilworth addressed a letter to Chairman Hugh M. Burns
Propaganda Campaign
On September 18, 1957, the paper carried another article by "Frank Observer" who described two schools of thought concerning the Elsinore water program and the behavior of the City Council—and a third group of "... connivers, the hate peddlers, and the vicious elements, who, fortunately, are a very small but noisy minority." 
The City of Hate
As authorities were beginning to believe that the situation at Elsinore was leveling off, it was again stirred up by a T.V. program on December 11, 1959, which was entitled "City of Hate."
The Grand Jury Report
In January 1961, the Grand Jury voted indictments against five former members of the Elsinore City Council, the Elsinore city attorney, and five other persons following its investigations of the telecast. The document containing the indictments against the persons responsible for the telecast and against the new members of the Elsinore city administration elected to replace those who were in office at the time the controversy arose.The indictment also listed the witnesses examined before the Grand Jury, and since we will soon be interested in the Communist records of two of them, we set forth the list, which contains the names of some of the members of the city administration who were in office at the time the controversy arose.
The chief of police of the city of Elsinore has ties with private citizens in that town which are totally out of harmony with sound and objective policing methods." It further suggested that the city make a contract with the Riverside County Sheriff's Office for adequate policing of the community.
An interesting read, the entire report can be found by doing a google search for "Eleventh Report of the Senate Fact-Finding Subcommittee on Un-American Activities" then Control-F search for Elsinore.
