I em, therefore, submitting to the chaiman for the attention or
the staff, a list oi 25 names, which requires further investigation, ill
oi the__se_ individuals to the best oi aw knowledge are either in the State .
Department, or in closely related agencies.
I understand all of them have been investigated by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and that such F.B.I. investigations have developed
information, which is new in the files -- infomatien which, according to
acheson's own "yardstick of loyalty" would stamp many, if not all of them
as being bad security risks. '
Uith the very limited staff which I have available and, as the
Chair Emews, I have been allocated no funds for this investigation - I
have conducted it cenplet-ab on my own!, it would take me a considerable
period oi tine to develop all of the information on all of those individ-
uals and submit individual cases on each oi them to the committee.
I intend, oi. course, to continue my investigation and assemble
all avaiL:ble infcnrstien enhiob cones to ".9 attention on any oi these
individuals, which information shall be available to tho staff of this
committee.
In the meantime, in order to got things started, I believe the
staff might start checking on these individuals. Obviously, the staff
could do a much speedier job in that the files, which are not easily
available to me, will be available to the camnittce, ' _

being assembled as rapidly as possible and pirt into shape to be presented
to the Committee. This task will be completed as soon as possible;

Excerpt from the book, "lly and I-Ion I left Defense Iiinistry in the
Intrigue of Russia in Spain," by Indalicio Prieto, former Iiinister
of Defense for the Spanish Republic cause.
"It is true that I have had certain incidents with the 1"-.ussians.
Certain Ilussiarl technicians proposed to me in Valencia, that a
service of Iiilitar-_.' Investi,,ations should be created. This was
the Spanish co-..1.nterpa.rt of the NKVD. I confess tint I opposed
the project. But because of insistent pressure, I created the
S.I.lZ. I was especially concerned with choosing a chief, until
I gave it to an inti:-ate friend of nine, who had Just cone from
France, where he was ".-r.i.t~. his farily. In entrusting him with
the task, I gave hin these instructions:
'1'ou are going to form the S.I.l.!., carefully, with elements
of all groups of the Popular Front. Your only charges will be
these two: Do not permit the ne-..' organization to be converted
into an instruront of the Communists ar..1 do not permit Russian
technicians to gain control. Listen to the advice of these
technicians and follow their orientations, -which can be very
useful to you, but control must always be in your hands and in
that of the C-ovcrnatzent, and of no one else.'
"I show.-ed little tact :i.n the selection of that comrade. A
Republicar. nared Sa,ya;,ues care in fact to be the chief of S.I.1.I.
Regional e11i3_-E; of the S.I-LI. were designated and they proposed
to ne a certain Gustavo Duran for the Ila-zlrid zone. It uas not
concealed from me that the person progosed was a Conmmist
Duran!. I lrnen this, but in spite of that, he was appointed by
me. In the decree creating the S.I.l!. of August 193? - a
decree 1.-hich I ryseli dre-..' up, because I did not wash to follo-.-:
in a slavish manner the Zrojoct which was handed me -- the:-e is
an article by virtue of which the a_>'j1Oi:1t.:£11t of all agents of
the 5.I.IJ. rests e::c1'_:sive -..-ith the Ifinister of Rational Defense.
This was a guarantee which tenporaril;,' I wish to establish. IE0 one
could be an agent of the S.I.L'. who was not in possession of the
memorandum book which bore duplicate the signature of the minister.
Duran having been appointed chief of the demarcation of the aim!
of the center, of his own accord and without power to do o,
appointed the agents who were under his orders, which to the
number of some hundreds, were Corimnists and only four or five
were Socialists. I faced an intolera:le situation, wherefore al-
leging, and with reason, that I lacked commanders in the army. I
ordered that all military chiefs who were not in particular posi-
tions in the army should return to their former positions and thus
llajor Duran had to return to his military function. Because of
Duran's leaving the S.I.LZ. I received a visit from a Russian .
technician, oi these services, who said to ne:
'I'.USSL'dT AGLIFL. I have come to sjzeak to you about the dismissal
of Duran. What happened?
'T1ETD. Ifothing special, I lacked connsnders in the arm and
ordered Duran to return to it.
'P.U5SI.".1-I-AS13111. 11o. You discharged him because he appointed
Communists as a_cnts in Izdrid.
'P.-I.i'10. That is also sufficient reason, because Duran absolutely
lacked authority to :.:a!|ce apuointnents.
=:;uss1A:: Ac;-arr. Jhy sic he not have the power to appoint agents?
'IPI1E;T0. Because by virtue oi the decree creating the S.I.li.
that power is reserved exclusively to the Ilinister.'
"I read the decree and before the evidence of my statement W visitor
alleged:
'RUS8IAIf AGEEYI. Duran could naize telzzporary appointments.
'I .-.I'.I'IO. Ifeither actual nor temporary. Here in Spain, moreover
the temporary is converted into the definitive.

Report from Edward J. Ruff, Assistant U. S. Military Attache in tho
Dominican Republic, addressed to the American Intel-118811119 $81?!-9-8.
"I want to take this opportunity to clarify my position in connection
with Report No. 1+28, dated 13 December, 1.9113, SubJect: Gustavo IIIRAH,
Alleged Concsunist Employee of the C.I.A.A., Havana. As 1°11 191°": 11515
office received a cable from the Military Attache, Havana, requesting
that dissemination of this report to be held Lp on the grounds that it _
was absolutely incorrect. A few days ego we received letter Ho.
795? from Lt. Col. Brown, written by Ambassador Braden concerning this
individual. Both these communications corroborated information vhich
we had regarding Duran and I cannot see on the bcozls ox? their ::o,>cx.as how
our report can be branded as absolutely incc-rrer:t'. Our only stitc-
ment in the report on Duran is that he was a member of the Communist
Party in Spain. From i92.1;:thcr reports received, this information can
now be evaluated as A-1. For your own knowledge, the information on
Duran was submitted by a Spanish refugee who also served as a Lt.
Colonel in the Spanish Republican Army and had served. on'Dursn's pro-
motion board in Spain, which board was charged with considering recom-
mendations for promotion of Spanish Republican Officers. As our
source was actually sitting on the Board at the time that Duran!
recommendation for promotion came through, he himself saw all I:u.ran's
papers _s.n=1. letters cf reoomrzmendation, and had access to complete
information regarding Du.":an's background.
He states, dogmatically, that the records shoved Duran to be a member
of the Spanish Cozmmist Party. Our source had previously made avail-
able to us the information agreeing with that sent to us by Military
Attache, Havana, except the statement that Duran entered the Army as
a private. According to our Agent, Duran was commissioned directly
from civilian life and given the rank of Major in the Militia. later
when the Militia became part of the Spanish Republican Army, he was
made a Major in the Army. The only additional information we had, and
which we did not mention in the report as it was not believed pertin-
ent, was the reported fact that Duran is a homosexual. I do not ques-
tion Du:-en's interest in the arts, his culture or intelligence, How-
ever, we only st-atefl in our report that Duran was a member of the Com-
munist Party, and that we did not know whether he is still a member of
the Communist Party. I, myself, am convinced that Duran was a Communist
and consider Ambassador IBraden's statement that he is a "liberal of
the highest type" to he a euphemism. Under the circumstances, I .
believed the reliability of our report still remains as originally
submitted,
The Ambassador here is inclined to concur in my report on Duran, but
has asked that no further official correspondence on the subject be
sent up. Hence this personal letter from me.
Sincerely,

*1r13 dear Senator:
I an in receipt of your recent inquiry about the security ~
investigation by the Department of 1:. Gustavo Du.ra.n. As you know, the
Department has a Security Committee which confines itself to reviewing
security investhjations and to mt-ring recommendations based thereon.
01 course, this corrittec has not@g -to do with revieriing the
qualifications or cozpetency of the person revier-'e:. for a position in
the Department other than as security is involved. I have added this
because from our conversation I would assure that you seriously question
the qualifications of 11-. Duran for em;:lo-ynent, as distinguished from
security consideration. That phase of 1.11. Duran's en;921o;"nent is not
within the scope of the Security Committee.
After revie~:r;i.ng the entire record on Iir. Duran as procured
from all available sources, the Security Committee recommended favorably
on Zir. Duran. I have carefully gone over the record before the Security
Corriittee and I have approved their recommndations -in
While I recognize that the above conclusions are at variance
with your own fecli.-13s, I have to do my duty as I see it and I hope
that you will recognize that I have attempted to exercise 1:1? Judgment t
faithfully and honestly. '
.'.'ith best wishes, I an I

l!e.-.1or:~.rd1r1 for the Eiilitiry lltteehe:
1'-r. Gust.-.vo Duran was rcconnerded to r-e in the first instance
by :1 fricmi oi uninpe:.ch:~.b1e patriotism and integrity. He was recen-
nendcd for e specific objective requiring a. person of highly specialized
qu:92lif5.c:.tions; his duties were to be concerned with protecting United
.S_t:.tes inter ests through OO1'lfldEI'2tiJ- surveillance over Falangist acti-
vities in tuba.
is to lir. Du'::=.n's baclzground, he is a naturized ...nerica.n
citizen born and educated in Sp."-in. He is oi good fa-eily, and in hi
youth was particularly interested in the arts. !-lhen the Sprmish civil
began in July, 3.936, he gave up everytiiing to fight on the side of
the Loyslists and from a sonewhet dilettrmte but brilliant young nan,
turned into a vitsl force for the 'H8pI3.b1'§.©CI1 cwuse. His military record
was reportedly brilliant. He was further described to me as being a nan
whose hatred for the Fascists, end his deep devotion to liberal principles,
are not open to debate. A close association with him during e period of
over a year fully support this description.
Mr. Duran arrived in Habane. in ITove:"ber 1942 on the payroll of
the Pan American Union and was to transfer to the st-all of the G,I.J92..i.
on February 1, 1943. Instead, I urgently recox.-mended his employment es
an iuxilimy Foreign Service Officer in e. telegram from which I quote
the following:
I regard Du:-en as ezcinently qualified for the work he is per-
forming and I have the highest estimation for his intelligence and character
as well as for his complete loyalty and discretion. He has already proven
oi very great value to this Embassy and I anticipate that his usefulness
will increase as he becomes r~.o:-e familiar with conditions in Cuoa._ I con-
sider that his continuance here is particularly desirable at the present
time when our relations with Spain are of such vital importance."
Mr. Duran hes now served as one of my immediate associates for
ore than e. year. His work has been excellent and outstandingly useful
to the United States government. Fro!-1 ray personal knowledge based on
close association, iir. Duran is not s. Currnunist but e liberal of the
highest type. I consider 1:11:21 an unusually worthy, patriotic and honor-
able American citizen, who shows greet promise as s. United States Govern-
ment official capable of high responsibility.

I'r- 331-:.ien describes Ilr. Duran as one recommended to him by a.
friend of vni::pe=;ohab1e inte._-;rity.
He set forth in his letter that Duran was a naturalized citizen,
_ l_ born and educated in Spain, of good family and in his youth was
partic'.1larly "interested in the arts". Braden said that from 1936 Duran
gave up everything to fight on the side of the Spanish Loyalists and
said he "urgently recon:-ended his employment as a.n Ausziliary Foreign
Service officer" .
Fo1lo92:i:1g Senator '..'herrys letter to the State Department of
A~.:;u_=t, 19b6, in which the Senator maintained that this nan was such
t a. bad security risk that he should be discharged, we find that he was
permitted to resigrz on October 14, 191.5.
In vie-.1 of the grave charges made by Senator Cher:-y and the
unusual attitude of the State Department in penaitting" this man's
resignation, it would be inter-esting to know what, if any, investigation
was made by State Department officials as to his conduct while in a
responsible, confidential capacity in the Depsrtnent.
- But D".:.ran's friends in the State Department did not turn their
backs on him.
After his resignation, Duran almost immediately was employed as
a representative or the International Lefugee Organization of the
United Iiations. He was employed there as of yesterday.
I have received a confidential report that Duran was recommended
for his U-lb position by e member of. the present Presidential Cabinet.
