Biography
Eugene Moy was the editor of the New York China Daily News, a Chinese-American paper sympathetic to the new People's Republic of China, indicted in 1952 on dozens of counts under the Trading With the Enemy Act. The prosecution was widely seen as an attack on the Chinese-American left press.
James Aronson’s August 1952 account dates the 53-count indictment of Eugene Moy and Albert Wong to April 28, 1952, and identifies U.S. Attorney Myles J. Lane. It describes Foreign Assets Control Regulations charges under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The ten-year penalty cited for each count was a maximum, not an imposed or completed prison term.
