Biography

Bert Salwen was the Communist Party candidate for Mercer County freeholder in New Jersey in 1954. County officials removed him from the ballot after passage of the Communist Control Act, and the New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed that decision on October 11, 1954. This was a ballot-access lawsuit, not a criminal prosecution; no arrest or confinement occurred.
