After five acrimonious weeks of intense back-and-forth, the two sides reached a compromise. It contained three parts:

Actor residuals for all studio films made starting in 1960.
No residuals for any studio films produced before 1948.
In lieu of residuals for films made between 1948 and 1959, the producers agreed to a one-time payout of $2.25 million, a contribution SAG would use as seed money for a new union health insurance plan and a pension plan.

BTW, he was elected president of SAG a few months before the blacklist began and four years before the first Bonzo movie was made. But he also did inform and testify before HUAC.
