'Traitor' would be giving secrets to the Soviet Union or giving their direct agents money or shelter. The rosenbergs were traitors. John Garfield and Larry Parks were not. Joining subversive groups that advance the overthrow of the US government by any means available, aid and abet people like the rosenbergs.
Like the guy driving the getaway car for the bank robbers----he doesn't pull a gun and take the money, but his actions enable the robbery.

Assuming you knew that's what they were doing. I would bet that very few actors or directors in those Depression era Left wing groups actually wanted to overthrow the American government. If there were it was a very small minority (say Paul Roberson who was a genunine Stalinist...a brilliant man with lamentable politics).
