"As an Arnerican," said Mrs. Smith, "I
want to see our 'Nation recapture th
strength and unity it once had when w
fought the enemy instead of ourselves." A
no time in the past 80 years has the strengt
of the United States been so sappecl by con-
fusion and dtsunity. For the confusion she
blamed, and justiably, the lack of effec-
tive leadership in either the legislative-ranch or the executive branch of our Gov-Ernment." For the disunity she courage-nsly pointed the nger oi: blame at ele-
ments in her own party who have tried to
ride to political victory on the Four Horse-
men of Calumny_Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry
and Smear." .
Mrs. Smith spoke of long-honored but
now forgotten American values--the rights
0.! free expression and of trial by jury in-
stead ot trial by accusation. "The American
people, she said, "are sick and tired of
being afraid to speak their minds lest they
be politically smeared as Communists or

a matter of contempt of court to
l enter into any such agreement as
was made by Mr. Hitchcock.
He added that "the conduct oi!
the Assistant Attorney General in
this case was not even becoming a
police court lawyer in any of our
great cities."
Sen. Ferguson also stated that it
was "the duly and responsibility 0!
the judge to ascertain whether any

said, that Mr. Jafie would pay his
tine and attorney's fee. When Mr.
Larsen and Mr. Jae were brought
into court in an unusual Saturday
morning arraignment on Sept. 29,
1945, he added, Mr. latte stepped
to the clerk's desk and paid Mr.
Larsen's $500 ne. Immediately
thereafter, he said, Mr. Lat-sen's at-
torney presented a bill [or $2000
Ior attorney's fees. and that, too,
was paid by Mr. Jaffe.
Sen. Know.-land commented:
I was rather shocked, as a lay-
n an, to find a statement you might
e pect the defense attorney 0
ake made by the Governments
a torney so that ail the deienle
a torney had to do was to say *,
too, and agree to this very pieas-
ant arrangement."
Sen. Knowland said the handling
of the Amerasia came in District
Court left the impression that the
defendants had done nothing seri-
ously amiss. He added that it was
clear to him that "a deal was made
outside the court room.
Sen. Ferguson said handling of
the Amerasia case violated estab-
lished rules of procedure." He and
Sen. Knowland charged that the
Justice Department is trying to
leave the impression that bungling
of the Amerasia ease was the fault
of the FBI and the OSS. Both in-
sisted the Justice Department must
assume the responsibility.

was Major Gen. William J. Dono-
van, OSS chie[, whose principal
aide was Col. Doering, now a mem-

eral Donovan since left for London.
Mr. van Beuren said two attor-
neys Ior the Tydings committee,
L. L. Tyler and Robert Heald, ques-
tioned him for one-halt to three-
quarters of an hour about the OSS
discovery oi the stolen Amerasia
documents. He described it as a

torted today. He continued: I
All the OSS did was to go in n
the Amerasia office to protect ou -
security and then tell the State D
partment that someone was swip-
ing classified documents.
From that point on we had
nothing to do with the case and
were never consulted about it. The
Department of Justice had every
opportunity to make an intensive,
secret investigation, get evidence in
a proper manner and proceed in a
proper prosecution.
II they failed to do that, it.'s
not our fault.

see how there can be any secret
testimony by me for the committee
release because I didn't give any."
As of today, the Tydines com-
mittee has no schedule calling Gen.
Donovan as a witness. Ii. was he

he argued that it any papeis taken
from Jaffe's Amerasia magazine
oflice in New York had been taken
illegally, they could have been used
against others involved in the case.
S-!E£!AL QASE
Sen. Ferguson ant to other cita-
tions of law to support a 92ic92v that
the Iact that the evidence taken 9292 as
Gmernmcnt property-stolen Gov-
ernment d0C'U.Tl1¬l'lIS~--315-O gave it
special standing. He argued, too!
and sought to draw support from
opinions oi the late Supreme Court
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
that the tact that the theft of these
papers occurred in time of tar
made this a special circumstance.

was an admitted associate of
'Ric11ard Sorge, the notorious Ros-1,sian spy. hanged by the Japanese
rafter his operations as head of al
wide-flung espionage ring in

Toward the end of the first
World war in Marsh 1918 MissSmedley was arrested in New Yorlcl
City for violating the federal es-pionage act as an agent for the i
Indian Nationalist party. Shelspent several weeks in jail and!
the charges were then dismissed.
In 1928 she went to China as a
correspondent for the German
;hewspa.per Frankfurter Zeitung
and immediately became known
as "one of the most energetic
workers for the Soviet cause in
China. according to an intelli-
gence report. I
She was one of the rst to write'
that Chinese Communists were
really not Communists, but locall
agrarian revolutionists innocentl
of Soviet connections." a hoax

men were excellent sources of in- "'l1o1-mation" whom she used in her #

Gen. Charles A. Willoughbif.

The Senator and some of his

claimed there was a "cover-up" of
the Justice Deparment's failure to
win prison-term convictions in
prosecuting the case. Only two of
the six persons arrested by the.

cleared. F
The committee has sealed my

gorically that I was not forced to

He said that when James F.

his request to retire "and Secre-

in his comment to reporters,
Holmes: conrmed the testimony

Amerasia case in 1946.
Gurnes told the House group:
"OnMay 31. 1945 ta week be-

London. was the witness who iden-
Ltiiied Vardaman. He was s. brig-
!adier general and an assistant
isocretary oi state in charge of
l security matters at the time of the

"best recollection that it was Mr.
.Trumans navel aide who issued
a temporary stop order in the case

rest six persons. ' '
Vardaman, contacted by aun-
committee investigators, hnmccli»
ately offered to testify roman-aw.

iwas a. White House official and
declared he would not talk until
after he had testitied.
When he emerged from the
closed session. Holmes said he had
been ordered by Tydings not to
discuss his testimony. Asked if the
responsible oiciel was David K.

J. Edgar Hoover
order to excuse their own mishandling of a serious and im-
portant crime against the United States in time of war.
In excuse for the way the Apnerasia evidence was used,
the present U. S. Judge James P. McGranery, then an
assistant attorney general in the Justice Department, said
to a House committee in 1946:
"If we had not handled it in that way I do not think we would
have had any case at all. None of the evidence was obtained in
I manner in which we ordinarily would have obtained it. It
was very clumsily handled."
What was the Amerasia evidence? It consisted of
some 1,700 government documents, and by now the at-
tempts to say the documents were "unimportant" have
been so thoroughly exposed there is no present need to
run through the facts again.
The evidence also concerned the comings, goings,
meetings and movements of some six persons arrested
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on June 6, 1945,
on charges of conspiracy to violate the espionage laws
of the United States. '
Of the people arrested, two held important positions
in the State department, one was an officer in the United
States Navy and all had connections of importance
throughout the Truman administration. u -l-l

-"IT.-is*'ob92'ious that the FBI's operations in this..!n__=1;te,r
were carried out under J. Edgar Hoover's personal direc-
tion. Mere field agents do not rush out and arrest gov-
ernment employee in the midst of a war on charges of
conspiring to violate the espionage laws. That kind of
thing involves the highest order of preparation and skill
of handling.
More than that, Hoovers chief assistants have since
_ testified on the point. They prepared forFixed Fmm the Amerasia arrests with the greatest
care and '11¬CiSl0l'l.The Sm Yet what happened? No sooner were
these people arrested than the charge was reduced-not
by the FBI but by the Department of Justice which has
the oath and obligation to prosecute evidence handed to
it by the FBI--down to one dealing with conspiracy to
embezzle and mutilate government documents.
Right there, the thing begins. Why did the Depart-
ment of Justice reverse the field on the FBI, which had
made the arrests and sworn out the warrants and booked
the prisoners? _
And on from there, as all the world now knows, the
case was watered and watered down from a high and
serious espionage matter to a mere business of putting
lmall fines against two people.
Why? Mr. McGranery's excuse is that the evidence
was very clumsily handled."

Senator Ferguson has shot that story as full of holes
as a Swiss cheese. Lawyers, who delight in seeing a
masterly technical analysis of precedent and rules of law,
will enjoy reading his dissertation.
He produces the famous work Wigmore, on Evidence,

Everybody knows perfectly well Mr. Ladd is telli
the truth. And that anybody would be foolish, if I!
worse, to try making it appear otherwise. The Ameras
evidence was a major undertaking of the FBI. T0 su
gest that J. Edgar Hoover would flub the technic

l{OBEIItT M. }lITCHCOCK'S
tr~siin1on_v before the Tyd-
ings committee must stimulate
wonder as to what were the
purposes of Francis Biddle. who
was attorney general when the
Arnerasin" case began, and
hy Mr. Hitchcock and his as-
s ciatcs acted as they did.
Let us grant, for the sake of
argument. that a spy can go to
the State and other depart-
ments and steal 1,700 docil-
merits, some oi the most secret
nature, and that nothing can
he done about it if the agents of
the OSS and the FBI entered
the premises where the docu-
ments were found without a.
search warrant.
Yet. this question arises: The
OSS raid occurred on March
11, 1945. Maybe no court case
could be made out oi that be-
cause Frank B. Bielaski did not
have a search warrant. How-
ever. the Biclaski seizures are
not among the 1.700 documents
we are now talking about. Those
were seized by the FBI in June.
WHY WAS ir not possible for
tlie Department of Justice
to pet a search v.a1'rant between
March and June? What held
up due process of law in an es-
pionage case for three months?
Lei. us so further. Mr. Hitch-
cock testified:
The FBI. in connection with
the arrest of Jafte and Kate
Mitchell at the Amerasia offices.
had seized several hundred
papers, many of which were
clearly the property of one or
more government agencies.
most of them of the State de-
partment.
"Many others of the seized
papers later were clearly estab-
lished to be copies of similar
records. The bulk of them were
classified, as, for example. rc-
stricted. confidential. secret,
etc.
Maybe those documents could
not be used against Jaffe and
Kate Mitch:-ll, but they did
involve others among them
Roth, Service and Larsen. Cc!-
tainly, once the Department of
Justice saw the documents, these
others were involved. They
could be held under the law fore

Copies of some of the items
found in Gayn's apartment
were found in the Ainerasia of-
fices. When Gayn was arrested.
he made a statement that he
knew some of the material
seized was not generaily avail-
able to the public.
"He said he intended using
it for background and no other
reason. When he was asked
where he got it, he said that
in some instance he did not re-
C811. and that in others. as a
reputable newspaperman he
could not disclose the sources.
THAT, of course. raises a very
curious issue. We, of the
press, hate to disclose con-
fidences, although many of us
have learned to refuse to re-
ceive confidences from certain
types 0! politicians as involving
participation in matters a gen-
tleman should avoid.
However, can a. newspaper-
man hold to the position in
time of war that he has a right
to he the recipient of files
ltolen or taken. whichever he
chooses, from the government
without personal responsibilitiy
for their possession?
Gayn finally admitted thit
he received the FCC repoi
from the New York office if

Taylor and Elizabeth Downing
Barker by marriage! gave
them to him.
ONE of the major difficulties
with Hitchcock's testimony

Vardaman Knew of Diary. i
Mi. Vardaman said he knew
about the diary beiore he made
his statement and that, owing to
other activities in which he was
eniiaaed at the time. Mr. Forrestal
could not have taken the matter
up with him. I
Mr. Vardamari's name was
brought into the Senate inquiry
this week when Brig. Gen. Julius
Holmes. Assistant Secretary of
.92 State at the time. testified he
i seemed to recollect that Mr. Var-
daman had acted to obtain a de-
iiay.
The committee also has received=
estimony irom Assistant Attorney
eneral James M. Mclnerney,
hie! oi the Justice Departmen s
criminal division. that it was .
Forrestai who intervened in t e
i case.
-- ---- - - _ _l__Riftrincca Fllliill in K01-ca.
l The reierences to the Amerasia
case, baling and mysterious for
ve years. were found in diary
notes among Mr. 1"orrestais pa-
pers in New York.
They showed that Mr. Forrestal
lactcd in the case after being in-
formed on Monday, May 28, 1945.
by one of his special assistants.
Maj. Mathias F. Correa, that ar-
rests were scheduled to be made
two days later, including a lieu-
.| tenant in naval intelligence.
In a May 28 entry Mr. For-
restal said:
"Maj. Correa. reported to rne
ithat the Department oi Justice
Lt. Andrew Roth had been fur-
nishing conndentiai and secret
ocumenis to a man named Jafie.
.ead oi a publication name
' rnerasia in New York City. Jeffas had intimate relationship
lth the Russian Consul in Ned:had evidence to the effect that't!ther Departments IhV0lYIIl~__'_%____,:@p3['c|';1,]y Delayed Arrests.
Other departments 0! the Gov- M,-_ pm-1-¢51,9,1'5 anion in 1, .
rnment involved are the Office of
trategic Services, the State De-
artment and the Foreign Eco-nomic Administration.
Mai. Correa reported that it
was proposed that Lt. Roth should
be taken into surveillance Mr.
F0rrestal apparently meant to say
'custody'! Wednesday. He said
the FBI thought that unless speedy
action were taken important evi-
dence would be dissipated. lost
and destroyed.
"I Pointed out that the inevita-
ble course of such action now
would be to greatly embarrass the
President now in his current con-
versations with Stalin because oi
the anti-Russian playup the in-
cident would receive out of all
Proportions to its importance. . . .
"I asked Capt. Vardamsn to see
to it that the President was in-
formed in the matter and I then
lied Mr. Edgar Hoover and sug-
sted that he advise Mr. -Tom
lark and have him also see that
e President is in full informationl
i all the iacts in the matter as
well as their implication.
The discovery oi the informa-
tion in the Forrestai papers be-
came known as Senators Know-
land of California and Brewster
oi Maine, both Republicans, were
demanding that the Senate sub-
committee subpoena the diarir to
see if it would shed any light
on the mysterious and hotiy-dis-
puted case.
The personal papers oi Mr.f
Forrestai have been kept secret
since he died last year in a_ plunge
from an upper oor oi the Bethes-
da Naval Hospital shortly after
retiring as the country: nrst
Secretary of Defense.
The question or who intervened
in the Amerasia case, and why he
did, has had only an indirect im-
portance in the Senate investiga-
on because President Truman,
hen informed oi the suggested
lay, himself countermanded the
der and directed a full and vig-' £9rk'--- - - -- ous prosecution_ot___theleEe_T"";case, the diary showed, was ma
on May 28. two days before sched
uled arrests. and apparently de-
layed action until the matter
came to the attention oi Mr. Tru-
man.
The matter was brought directly
to the I-resident's attention bi
Gen. Holmes, now American Min-
ister ln London. who was then
handling the Amerasia matter tor
that department.
On June 2, 1945. Gen. Holmes
took the unusual step of going to
the White House and personally
laying the matter before the Presi-
dent.
The President ordered the Jus-
tice Department to proceed with
the case and the FBI made the
arrests on June 6, 1945-nlne days
after Mr. Forrestal had sought a
delay.
Six persons were arrested on
charges oi a conspiracy to obtain
illegal possession of Governmen
d uments. 'ofhey were Roth. the naval liete ant; Philip Jae, editor or t

indict Mr. Service, Miss Mitchell
and Mr. Gayn. Jae subsequently
pleaded guilty and was ned
$2,500. Larsen pleaded no de-
fense and was fined I500 and
charges against Roth weredropped.
The matter was investigated
by a House Judiciary"subcomrnit-
tee in 1946 and its long-sealed
testimony was made available only
recently. 1
Tniman Pushed Case.
It showed that an FBI agent
ad testiiled that on May 31.945: '
"The Department of Justice a -
ised the bureau that any pros -
ution in connection with t 's
matter was to be held in abeyan e
until the conclusion of the S

the Prendent cahed the bureau}
and stated he wanted action taken;
on the ease as quickly as possible,
and wanted it to be vigorously
followed."
The disclosure oi this testimony
brought immediate -Republican
demands for a full inquiry into
this phase or the ease to determine
who sought. the delay. There
were some suggestions that a pro-
Cornrnunist" group within the
State Department hm sought to
hold err the arrests.
It is expected that the Forrestal
notes will be laid before the Sen-
ate subcommittee at a session
n Monday for which Jae has
en subpoenaed. -s---_..

SPEAKING OF POLITICS, we must note that the
Truman Administration is having one whale
of a hard time making McCarthy look had.
To make McCarthy look bad is a must for the
Trumanites because of the creeping realization
among the people that the fiery Senator from Wis-
consin, despite an occasional tendency toward a
wild pitch, has something.
That realigation among the people is not good
for Trumanite chances in the Fall congressional
elections. 1: -
So Dean Aches_ons State Department was
Mung nno whnnnng up an aggeved rqy to
McCarthy charges that Acheson, himself, in 1946as Acting Secretary of State, pushed and approveda loan of $9¬,0 .!q0,000 to Poland, then already in
grip of the oommunists.
, The State Department pooh-poohed Mc-lCarth_v, It said that in 1946 the department}
still had hopes that the Mikolajczyk govemmentl;then in power in Poland, might be saved from}
Russian domination." I

pressed their criticism of Senator
McCarthy's methods in separate
interviews at the Govemors Con-
ference White Sulphur Springs.

Carthy of failing to furnish evi-
dence supporting his charges.
I personally don't like to see
blanket accusations made against
groups of individuals or individ-
uals standing alone." Gov. Warren
said. "No good can come out of
such charges unless there is the
intention to prove such statements
and accusations in accordance
with our laws and democratic
processes."

.Sei-vice Reads Statement _
For the rst part of the long
da_92'. Service read in a slow, low
voice, an extensive prepared state-
ment in which he took up. one by
one. the various accusations made
against him. dating back to the
days when former Ambassador to
China Patrick Hurley attacked him
in 1945.
- These were divided into two
categories. One related to his ac-
ttivities and reports, as a State I}e-
p tment political adviser attic ed

ina during the war. The sec nd
Amerasia matter.
' his duty was gathering political in-~
Etelligence in China, especially!
from the Communists, and how allihis extensive contacts with them-i

ij He told how he was commended
for the work he did and the re-ports he rendered by his two Arinyi
chiefs. Generals Stillwell and We-.demeyer. ln answer to specic:
charges or Mcuarthy. and as a;
demonstration of his own position.
he said:

,, .."Kenna! Analyzed Data
-"ii1ei1est testimony as to what
his point of view was. and how
well and objectively he did his
work, Service argued, was cer-
tainly the memoranda he wrote
while in China. Therefore. he said.
when he recently appeared beforea State Department Loyalty Boardl
resurveying his case. he had those
rnemoranda produced and analyzed.
The analyst was George F. Ken-
nan, councillor of the department
and by general repute the Govern-
ments foremost expert on Com-
munist theory and practice. Ken-
nan reviewed all the documents
Service wrote In his three years in
China, more than 125 of them, and
testified to the loyalty board: -
"l nd no evidence that the re-'ports acquired their character!.from any ulterior motive or asso-.
ciation or from any impulse other,
than the desire on the part of the
reporting oillcer to acquaint the
department with the facts as he
saw and interpreted them.

oi. From A Closed Mind"
"On the contrary, the general
level of throughtiulness and intel-
lectual exibility which pervades
the reporting is such that it seems
to me out of the question that it
could be the work of a man with a,
closed mind or with ideological pre-1
conceptions, and it is my conclu~
sion that it was not." l
In questioning Service. Morris
sought to make the point that Scrv-'
ice had in his possession various
" statements oi Chinese Communist?
leaders showing they were clearly
llnl-led to the Kremlin. whereas.
Service had reported that the Chi-Inese Communists had an independ-i

ii Service also dealt with charges
against him by Hurley, which he
answered with an equally vigorous
public defense that former Secre-
tary. of State James F. Byrnes'
[made of him ve years ago when
Hurley sounded oft.

i This was s case in which Jae.f
'as editor of the now defunct mag-

some several hundred classied

.4Job Was to Aid Writers
-Feat-t-t his job. intaTrT;TT>Tit
recognized. was to aid writers and
ireporters and to give them proper
iand accurate background material,
Service said. So he showed Jaffe
a memorandum he wrote on a Chi-
lnose- Communist presentation ofIitlieir own position. Later, he let,.lali'e borrow eight or ten of |iis|
iothcr memoranda which he consid-I
cred it would be appropriate to
iallow Jade, as a writer on China,
to see."
Service insisted these documents
were purely reportorial and con-5Itained no military or other secrets
rand no classied material on
tArnerican policy or position.
1; Service pointed out that the rst,
secret, raid on the Amerasia oices
was made while he was in China,
and that it demonstrated that
whatever channels Jail-e had for
obtaining official documents were
already in existence and function-:in very well indeed." For t e
_ra showed that there w 'e
int sses of secret Government c-
u ents in Ja"e's ofcc. i
Next. Service said, it appearedi
,that the FBI testicd that it had?notied the State and Navy De-f
ipartments it was ready to rnake_
the arrests, and was satised it
had solved the case, just six days
after Service returned from China.
before he had even met Jaffe.
llcnce, Service said, "1 could not
possibly have been one of thoselsuspected at that time."
Admits lndiscretions -
Service readily admitted that his
giving his memoranda, and his
conversations with Jali'e were in-
ciisrrctions. He said he had suf-
-fercd for them for ve years.
' Republican subcommittee mem-
tiers, Senators l-[ickenloopcr tlowal
and Lodge Mass!. pounded him
with questions on two points:
_l-lad he devoted as much time
and attention to other journalists
as he had to Jaffe?
Why had he always gone to
Jalic's hotel, or oice. or apart-
ment, and why had Jaiic only once
come to his. Service's, oilice? Did
not reporters seeking information;
from an ollicial come to the oicial
and not vice versa?
Service answered that he talked
to and spent much time with many
Titers on Fortune, Time, Ne -
ek and other magazines, a d
t at he met with many of th
0 tside his oice, at lunch or t
t cir homes.'liicCarthy Makes Notes
-Sena;-or McCarthy, who"i'§'§i'T¬t1'tl't
Service in the rst speech he made,
when he touched off the current
investigation of Communists in
Government last February, sat be-
Lhind subcommittee members yes-
'tet day, making notes while Service?
talked. it
He told a reporter, "Service said
he gave information to Jaife, but
he thought he was just giving
,background information to an au-.
thentic journalist. He would have l
to be pretty naive to have fallen?
for that." |
Lodge and Hickenlooper also
wanted to know by what right did
:Service show to Jaffe documents
ithat had been given security class-
iifications. Service replied that he
has done the classifying, that the;documents were copies ol hisl
rnemoranda, and that he had
enough knowledge of the facts to
know when they could be dis
closed, after a lapse of time an
e nts. This was properly a ma 1
te within his judgment and a
th rity, he declared. _, ,
F. . B. Messages to Ciiiang I
Service was questioned at length ;
about one of the documents seized ,
in the Amerasia offices at the timei
the arrests were made. It identi-
tied itself as a summary of a
account Service gave oi two to l
secret "eyes only messages froi
President Roosevelt to Chiang Ka f
shek, relating to unifying the Ch -.
nese Army command under Gen-
eral Stillwell.
Service said he assumed the
document was written from notes,
probably taken by Mrs. Gayn, dur-
ing a conversation he had with her, and her husband. 1-Ie said he hadl
felt at liberty to talk about the
messages, then 10 months only, be-i
cause the facts had taken place,l
and because the background had:
already been published, particu-
larly in an article six months§
;ear1ier.; It was a sensational scoop by,
,the New York Times China cor-irespondcnt, Brooks Atkinson. Serv-
ice said he was informed that,
_Presiden't Roosevelt himself had
ipermitted the release of Atkinson's,idispatch because it was factually
iaccurate.
|Never Gave Military Secretsti To the questions on whether_hei

plied by John S. Service. Special}
caution must be shown in the use.of the two White House messages;
to Chlang Kai-shek whose text IS;
given below. i
"The first message. paraphrased E
by Service on May 19. 1945. was:
The situation in China is
desperate and calls for drastic
steps. The President Roosevelt!
therefore suge-ests that all anniesl
in China. including those of the-
Communists. be placed under an,
American commander. Althouehi
the President knows of ChianaSJ
dislike for Gen. J1-iscphl Stilwell,
he nevertheless believes that Sill-.
e11's experience and record make;
im the best man for the job. i
eeond Message Offered .
"About 10 days after the Pre. -i
dents first message. another mes-|
sage arrived at Chungking. It;
gives a fair indication of Chianss 1
reply to the White House. The
second message said in essence:
I am glad that you are in
principle agreed to my sucgestion
for an American commander over
all the forces in the China theater.
Although. as you say. there are
Political factors which must be
considered and there is also the
important question of tirning. I be-
lieve that the situation is so
urgent that we should not delay:
the political questions can ccr-'
tainly be solved. I agree with $0111

September a few weeks alter
Stilwell became a four-star sen-
eral. At first Hurley. was friendly
with Stilwell but later went over
to the Chinese view that Stilweli
must be fired for the sake of sinc-American unity. Stilwell today be-i
lieves that Hurley stabbed him in|
the back by strongly urging thePresident to recall Stilweli. i
Service declared he had not_
given this paper to Jafee. He said l
he recalled a conversation in theihome of Mark Gayn, a. writeri
another defendant in the Amer-I
asia case who went free! in which
he gave Gayn the gist of the
document while Mrs. Gayn took
shorthand notes. He offered the,
theory that Gayn turned the re-;_

ents to Jaffe on three occ
ns but again insisted, as i
t e case with Gayn. that thes
pers. although some of the
92 ere marked "secret." were nlonger confidential. The FBIiagents listened to a. conversation
between Service and Jaffe and the ]
questions asked Service were based 1
upon their report.
Service Can't Recall" 1
"Did you ever say to Jafie in
his hotel room that the military
is secret or top secret and must be
carefully handled?" asked Hickm-
looper. l
I did not give him military it
formation in documents." asserte »Service. i
"Did you make that remarki 0
"I do not recall it." said Service,
cdiftroirmy-.' "In discu!ssrng*me
over-all picture of the situation in
China. I may have made some
statements for his use as back-.
ground material but not for pub-1
lication. I could not say we never!
discussed anything that was bah-.
nically secret nor touched upon
something of military significance.
I expect we did." _
Service said he first met Jaffei
on April 19. 1945. less than two}
months before the arrests in the"
Amerasia case. and asserted he
had never sent reports to Jaife
before that date. He was in-;
formed that a number of dis-i
patches and reports, bearing his
name, had been found in the
Amerasia raid and insisted he
could -not explain how they ar-
rived there. He said the docuxii-nts he did give Jaffe were all!
r urned i." him. .C¥ve Memo to Jam: x
Service recounted various meet-
ings with Jaffe. Roth. Gayn. Kate
Mitchell. cu-editor of Amefasla.
and Emmanuel S. Larsen. the
other five arrested. picturing him-
self as innocently providing in-
formation on China to these per-i
sons. He gave Jaffe only eight or
10 personal memoranda" on hisi
observations in China. he said.'
which had never been in ofiicislfiles. {The witness also said he was
acquainted with Owen Lattlmore..
State department consultant. who
has been named an espionage;
agent by McCarthy and Louisi
Budenz. former Communist edi-
tor. He spent a week end at the
Lattimore home in Baltimore. just ,
before the Amerasia arrests, in
company with Roth and others.
he said.
Asked if he knew Lauchlin Cur-
rle, former White House adminis-
trative assistant. Service said he
appealed to Currie for "advicefciiiowina his arrest. Currie we

brill-is-at-and patriotic educator he was. but as-t*.re'gar-
rulous busybody that the perjured testimony before

and the plotters had another 15 years in which to com-
mit treason against America.

His Demands Rejected

of Wisconsin renewed today a
name-calling tiireat that the
State Department described yes-
tercl:i1- as "ho1ciing.hostai;e the}

cleared of disloyalty charges.
The department brusquely re-
Jected as a "political strat-egem"
Senator McCarthy's demand for
B5SLll'aI'lC¬ that 29 of its employ s.
are beii kebt away from secr tj
papers. I
The enatcr threatened in at
letter Secretary of Sta e
Acheson . -Iond-or to name publicly.

ance. I
"I am inciinec. to thin}; I have'
no choice but to name them un-l
less the State Department com-'
pleteiy re92.'erses its stand," Sen-
ator McCarthy said today. "The
situation is too dangerous not to
do so."
Humclsine Answers Charges.
benuty Unciei'secretai'y of State-
Carissle H. Humelsine wrote the
Senator yesterday that his ailega-1
tion that the 29 persons he namedi
are involved in pending loyaltyi
cases "is incorrect." i
All of the individuals have bet
named by Senator McCarthy la
fore. l92 -. Ilumelsine pointed ou
He add that some are not Statttabeaxlalaaiad of the allegations
against them," Mr. Humelsine
told the Senator. '
He said the depart erit does
not permit any emplo - to have
access to secret mate cl when
it has determined that such ac-
cess might constitute -a danger to
the security of the United States."
Details of Program Outlined.
But the Presidents loyalty pro-
gram directive of March 13. 1948.
precludes the furnishing oi any
reports. records or les relative
to the loyalty of einplo;ves." Mr.
I-lumelsine said.
His letter to Senator McCarthy
outlined details of what he de-
scribed as a "total security pro-
gram conducted by the State
Department. Under this proaranz,
an cmploye docs not have to to
found positively clisloyal to be
discharged. Mr. I-lunelsine em-
phasized that any individual con-
sidered a security risk is sep-
arated.
But he stressed that we will
not compromise our legal and
ethical responsibilities under pres-
sure of political strategem or
tlirea.t."

The State Department madc no at-

McCarthy. Mr. Humeisine said the
Senator's attack was made "tor
purely political reasons, and with-
out regard to the facts."
He said Sen. McCarthy's list -
like your previous lists"- contained
the names of persons not working
for the State Department, some wito
already have been cleared and oth-

HOLDING I-IOSTAGE?
Your indiscriminate lump'tg to-
