Reference is made to my memorandum dated December lo,
i=p3, concerning name checks submitted by G-2 on 1&9 Senators
and Congressmen who are to attend a conference at the Pentagon
e rly in January, 195a. according to G-5 this conference is
for the purpose of briefing the members of Congress on future
"K war plans.
As set forth in the referenced memorandum the search in
7 neral indicss was confined to main files and data is being
fwrpished to e-e only in instances where we have conducted inves-
tigations.>-
The FBI has not conducted an investigation of Senator|Joseph R. Mccirthy. However, you will recall that the Senator
-t"s been connected with four matters in which the Bureau has
fbaen interested. These are as follows:
! In an investigation entitled Unknown Subjects;
Alleged Irregularities, General Llection, State of Maryland,
rcvember 7, 1950; Perjury" it was ascertained that senator
icarthy was involved with others in the issuance of certain
cimpaign literature rnich made it appear that Senator Tydings
Dreside over a Senate investigation in such a manner as to "white
w sh" charges concerning disloyalty of State Bepaztment employees.
3'nstor HcCarthy was not mentioned is a subject in this investiga-ltion. The Depirtment closed ttis case by memorandum dated
ictober 16, 1953.
,, _ _. Z! In a letter dated December e9, 1951, addressed toS&r&tOi is t cut bearing the purported signature ofi
it was alleged that Senator Mccarth -cmimitted sooomy on and on others KIIOWII to _ i
and all otLer persons erviewed denied Knowing McCsrthy and also
venied having engaged in shy activities whatsoevni with him.
insults of this investigation were furnished to the Department onJanuary 22, 195;. Information concerning P was
Idrnished to General A. R. Bolling, G-2, on anuiry ea, 1952.

! In July, 1950, at the request of the Department the
Bureau conducted an investigation to determine the source from
w"ich Senator McCarthy obtained information concerning one
the subject of a loyalty investigation. This
c. itled "Unknown Subjects; Source or Senator Joseph R.
u Carthy's Information Regarding Government Employees! Removal of
Government Property; Loyalty of Government Employees." It con-
cerned a statement made by Senator McCarthy during a speech on
the f oor of the Senate, July 25, 1950, in which he mentionedend at the same time distributed copies oi a document
we c purported to be a Civil Service Commission summary of the
investigation of -
On July 25, 1950, the Attorney General requested the
Bureau to conduct an investigation to determine the source from
which Senator McCarthy obtained the above summary indicating inhis request that there may have been a violation of Title lb,
Sections 6&1 and 2071, United States Code.
The investigation failed to establish conclusively the
f S t H C rth s source It did indicate that the identity o ens or 1c a y .E.-caminer for the Loyalty Review Board, Q maypossibly have been the source of Senator no arthy's information.
rue summary distributed by the Senator was apparently not an
authentic copy of any document prepared by the Civil Service Commission,
the State Department or the Loyalty Review Board.
The results of this investigation were sent to the Deputyjattorney General on November 7, 1950, and December Y, 1950. On
the latter date the Department was advised that no additional
investigation_was to be conducted and no further request for
investigation has been received from the Department since that

h! "Unknown Subject Source of Senator Joseph R.
AcCarthy's InfOPm¢ti0n Regarding minutes of Loyalty Review Board's
Heating of February 13, la, 1951! Miscellaneous Information
Concerning Loyalty of Government Employees. The Department by
memorandum dated January 22, 1952, requested the Bureau to conduct
an investigation in an attempt to identify Senator McCarthy's
source for his press release January 5, 1952. This release was
allegedly based on the confidential minutes of the Loyalty Review
Board's meeting February l3lh, 1951.
The Civil Service Commission had conducted a previous
investigation in this matter. On February 13, 1952, Deputy
_attorney General Vanech advised he thought it would be better for"the Civil Service Commission to conduct this investigation. There-!fore, the Bureau did not conduct an investigation in this matter

QQSERVATION:
It is noted that although Senator McCarthy was involvedFin each of the above matters, he was not the subject of these
inquiries and therefore G-2 is being advised that no investiga-
tion concerning Senator McCarthy has been conducted by the FBIlpertinent to their inquiry.

I told him I would like to thinh about it but it
seemed to me it would be dependent upon what his commitments

'efectiue he would have to approach it from a journalistic
viewpoint, showing McCarthy as a product qf his time and
Qitreating the situation from a rather factual, straightforward

master aggressor. 92"'hen -.tsl~:ed by a reporter why the UN did not condemn the Soviet
Union for " part in the Korean
ession, Lodge replied: "lit does no good to
call names unless you are prepared to go to war."
Both Dulles and Lodge repulse all suggestions that the UN should take action
against the Soviet government under Article 6 of the Chatter, which states that any mem-
ber "which has persistently violated the principles contained in the present Charter may
be expelled from the otganizrition . . The Soviet Union, having a veto in the Security
Council, could not be expelled without its consent, but the other niembers could with-
draw and rev :'gani;r.e "~.92."ithot.t the Communists.
According to Lodge, it is essential to keep the Soviet Union and its satellites in the
UN we cm watch them and see What they are up to . But this is an arr.§-_irn4;nt for the
admission of Communist Chin:-1, which Lodge opposes. The Communists v~ ere boycotting
the UN, been use of Red Chin:ts e>:cI.usion, when the Korean aggression began; but not
even Lodge has suggested that the Kreniliifs representatives. had they been present, would
have given the United States advance notice of the impending attack.
in an lI!?L!92'l"9292. published by .92-c'zvsu-'eel=<, October 12. 1955, Lodge declared: "If war
camc in spite of the UN, it would then be the iI1CliSpEnS.1l!le instrument for repelling the
aggression which is probably one reason wliy the Communists dont leave it." This is
a cutiousstatement. One may assume that the Communists are not staying in to help the
UN repel their next aggrcssio-1. Therefore, :1CCO1ding to Lodges view, the!; must be stay-
ing in to sabozage efforts to nialte the UN an eective instrument for repelling aggression.
If that is so, wli!-' not kick them out?
Lodge ltnows, of course, that the UN. far from being an e1'fecti'.'e instrument for repel-
ling aggression in Korea, impeded efforts by the Americzm military commanders to conquer
the aggressors. He also knows that the UN cannot repel aggressieii in the next war. The
State Department, on March 50, issued :1 statement saying: "Collective security organi-
zations like 1"-T} TO have grown up because there is no condence that all the members of
the United Nations will observe their covenants."
Although professing opposition to the admission of Red _§hin:.1. on high moral grounds,
Dulles does not recoil f!'Onl:Tt'fltLl'11l'1.iDg in the UN with the Kremlinites. In his boolt
ll ar or Peace, he states that the UN is .1 place of"'genuine fellot92'§hip , that this fellow-
ship is shared to some extent by the Communist delegates, and that he has had "intimate
and enlightening talks with them . '

an adverse lo_valt_92" repoi "- -om the Acheson Stan: iD .p;lll}i l .n 1952, has been cleared
by the Eisenhower Administration's Internatior..l Organizations Loyalty Board. Proteges
of Alger Hiss still occupy strategic positions in the UN.
Apparently anticipating a whitewash, Lodge has appropriated Eleanor Roosevelt's
witless argument that Communists in the UN are not a security problem since there are
no secrets there for them to steal. He pretends that American "security" cannot be harmed
by policy subversion, by Communist propaganda in UN reports, and by Communist agents
accompanying UN missions to all parts of the world.
The failure of the Soviet Union to ll its quota of LIN employees has been cited for
years by I-Its. Roosevelt and recently by Lodge as if it v.'ere irrefutable proof that the UN
is not a fruitful eld for spies. There are only 29 Russians on the UN stall, although the
Soviet quota ranges from I 16 to 155. Unlike other countries, however, the Russians are
rotated every two or three years and, therefore, are constantly coming and going. More-
over, they function as spy masters, not ordinary spies. American Communists and those
from other countries are subject to their discipline. vaIt*ntin jubitchev, a Soviet mili-
tary intelli§__-ence officer employed by the UN in the guise of an engineer. was arrested vsith
Judith Coplon for stealing secrets from the Justice Department, not from the UN. Nicolai
Skvortsov, formcrl!" the second highest ranking Russian at the UN, was barred from re-
entry into this country on a charge of trying to tltgztnize a spy ring.
There is only one way to solve the UN problem and that is to abolish it. If the United
States should withdraw. from the UN it would quickly collapse. Some Republicans
in Congress hzivt warned that the United States will pull out if Red China is admitted.
If_th_ts were certain, patriotic Americans should favor Red China's admission; but it would
be rash to trust a Congress which is still addicted to Trumanism in foreign affairs.
Politicians are loath to confess that in supporting the UN, they betrayed their
country's interests. As recently as December 8, President Eisenhower told the UN that
the United States would remain steadfast in its support of the organization "in the convic-
tion that you will provide a great share of the wisdom, of the courage and the faith which
can bring to this world lasting peace for all nations, and happiness and well-being for all
men". It yvas clear that Eisenhower had learned nothing about world alfairs since Novem-
ber l, 1945, when the London Conference of Foreign Miinistt-rs had brol-ten up in complete
failure, when the ir.ter11;1tit>:1:1l prospect was not peace but cold war. and when he told the
House Militar} Aflairs Committee; "I92"othir§r guides Russian policy so much .15 a desire
for friendship with the United States." '
I The UN is a heritage the "bipartisan foreign po1icy" betrayal, and those who
now control the Republican party are stuck with :1 stillborn albatross.

GOOD AND BAD AGGRESSORS
1- lw --iiy CHESLY l92'lAI-'LY
Q; ECR}TIARi' or sure nuttrs and Henry Cabot Lodge, United States representatives to the
"--' United Nations, are protesting too much and proving too much with their arguments
against admitting Communist China to the UN. If Britain and France agree at Geneva to
support the seating of Chinese Communist delegates, the United States cannot keep them
out, and both Dulles an

reiterated assurances have the hollow
sound of an advance alibi, designed to evade charges cf complicit! when Red China is
ensconced in the UN.
Lo_:__icall}' and morally it is Preposterous for Del!-_s and Lodge to oppose the admis-
sion of Communist China without demanding the expulsion of Soviet Russia. Any
conceivable reason for excluding the Peiping regime, :1 creature and satellite
of Soviet imperialism, is an argument rt for-rim-1' for expelling Communist Russia, the
master aggressor.
On March 29, Dulles remarked that membership in the UN, by its Charter.
is supposed to be limited to "peace loving" states; and he recalled that Communist China
was a convicted aggressor in the Korean war. But the master aggressor in Korea was the
Soviet Union. Even Dean Acheson recognized thi; fact when he told the UN Political
Committee, on October 24, 1952, that the North Korean aggressor forces were "raised.
heavily equipped and tactically and strategically advised by the Soviet Union government".
Lodge told the same committee on February 25. I955, that "Soviet planning instigated
the original aggression, which was subsequently maintained by Soviet training and equip-
ment". Although all members were under a UN injunction to refrain from giving assist-
ance to the aggressors, l92losco92vs Andrei Vishinsl-:_v boasted that his government

9! lbCarthy said he felt it was wrong to name names and
had asked that the Committee meet in an Erecutive Session so that
names would not be revealed. He went on to state, however, that in
view of the fact it was an open hearing he would continue to name
l'lGI.88e I 'C! He referred to Service, Lattimore and Hanson as all
being bad security risks.
ll! Hr. MbCarthy was asked point-blank whether or not he
thought Secretary of State Acheson would harbor a Communist Party
member in the State Department. He answered this by stating that in
the Far East our batting average has been sero while the Russian
batting average is a thousand per cent. He said that a clique qf
len in the State Department who were responsible for this failure
had now been sent to India and would apparently continue to do the
same miserable job. He said that they should be fired because of
their failure; The only praise that lbCarthy had was for Loy
Henderson, was was in India.
2! McCarthy then predicted that there would be some very
interesting cases arise out of the Commerce Department and added that
he thought the lbCarran Rider should be applied to the Commerce
Department. C .
3! McCarthy said that in order to prove a complete case
it would be necessary to have the files af the Civil Service Commission
and the FBI; that just having the "loose-leaf" files of the State
Department would do no good.
4! HcCarthy charged that the State Department was rifling
its own files and he said he could see no reason why the Committee
could not have the Civil Service files and the FBI files.
5! lbCarthy was asked whether or not he considered the
.C,onni,ttee' a tool of the State Department. He PEP-"ed that if '8
State Department could get ahold of his files many heads. would fall.
' 6! McCarthy was asked whether or not he had actually
seen the files on the various individuals. He said no but that he"
had.seen copies.
?! HbCarthy said that an arrest cannot be made by theIFBI for espionage without State Department approval. He said he did

grudging acknowledgements of his personal charm and __'_sincerity_ " Others continue
to smear him even in death and again demonstrate their incorrigible evil.
For a rounded picture, this Service would point out that "McCarthyism" -- a phrase
coined by the Communists -- concerned itself not only with internal subversion but
also with the grave dangers inherent in appeasing the Soviet Union. Almost as a
legacy, in the closing period of his career Senator McCarthy laid special stress on
the growing, self-defeating efforts to make new deals with the Kremlin, and
sirnultaneously ease its burdens by economic aid to its satellites.
Your editor invites attention to the attached copy of his May 2 broadcast -- a
surnmation and farewell.

that "the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. "
In the face of the union-pressured wage spiral, the Advisory Council castigate
the business community for large price -hikes, clairns business uses ."small

§on}ebody's advantage: U. S. bureaucrats assigned to posts under the treaty would
receive a handsome, tax-free salary.
EX.P§_§;I'_7A COALITION of liberal Democrats, trade union leaders and Adrninistratic
officials to press for legislation in the area of union funds disclosures, Through
exclusive and noisy concentration on this limited issue it is hoped that legislation air
at reducing unbridled union power will be forestalled.
All attempts to regulate union political activity, abolish the union shop, or guarantee
internal union democracy will be attacked as punitive, hysterical and disruptive of
harmonious labor-management relations.
-'0 - .1 - .-2;This Service contends that wider disclosure of union financial records, by itself, as
presently proposed by the Administration, offers no effective impediment to Irauduh
practice and mulcting of the union membership.
Thus, for unions using NLRB services, Taft-Hartley requires filing of union financi
statements with the Labor Departrnent, as well as disclosure of these records to the
membership.
Result: After a decade of such mandatory disclosures, not one rank-and-file compl;
prior to the McClellan Committee hearings. The membership does not understand
the complicated financial forms, would too often fear raising touchy questions with
its leaders. The present Adrninistration proposal for general public access to union
financial records is only a feeble step towards correction of 355585.
.Minirnu1'n requirements:
! Built-in punitive measures for misuse of union funds; ! Uniform methodb i
keeping union records; ! A clear breakdown of-all expenditures. Thus,
political expenditures would not slip into ambiguity through such misleading
descriptions as "education" or "citizenship."
Conservative-minded Congressmen plan more thoroughgoing legislation than now
proposed, hope for final support from an aroused public opinion.
Senator Karl Mundt of the McClellan Cornniittee initiates a staff study of the recent
Steel Workers Union election. The opposition led by the unknown Donald Rarick
polled more than one-third o§92the votes against the massive union machine controlle

DO N_QT__ACC§E_T_!A'1" FACE VALI:T.E_I WIDESPREAD PRESS REPORTS that Senators
Knowland and I-Iickenlooper have comgto no firrnjconclusions concerning U. S.
participation in the International Atomic Energy Agency. Hickenlooper is ranking
Republican member of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Committee.!
This Service has firsthand information that the two Senators in private conference
have emphasized to the President the deep-rooted opposition of their colleagues to
the treaty, Mr. Eisenhower was frankly advised that he cannot hope for passage of
the statute in its present form. The only possibility fo_r_,acceptance which requires
a 2/3 Senate .1 ate! lies in a recasting so fundamental as to create, in effect, a new
agreement,
The President proposed the international treaty in a speech before the UN General
Assembly in December 1953, outlined a world atomic bank supplying nuclear fuels
for atomic power plants. The arrangement would include the Soviet European bloc.
Domestic opposition remains bipartisan and unmovable, includes leading GOP
Senators and such influential Democrats as Senators Richard Russell of Georgia and
Clinton P, Anderson of New Mexico.
Proponents of the treaty argue; ! Acceptance would provide a measure of mutual
inspection ofjatomic materials; Z! Recipient countries under the present bilateral
arrangement with the U. S. prefer receiving their Uraniurn 235 from an international
agency; ! The recent ratification of the treaty by three Communist governments
including the Soviet Union! makes almost mandatory our ratification, since the U. S
initiated the proposal.
Senator Knowland and other traditionalist colleagues consider these claims as
virtually meaningless, make this rebuttal; ! The inspection provisions of the treaty
are so vague as to be non- existent; Recipient countries under the present
arrangement may indeed have their preferences. Realistically, our preferences
deserve first priority, In addition to supplying the uraniurn, under the proposed
treaty, the U. S. is obligated to bear one-third of the adsministrative costs; ! Eager
Soviet acceptance of the treaty should give us pause, indicates that the U. S. will be
at a disadvantage.

The President is reported as being appallingly iminstructed in important features of
the treaty, has obviously been persuaded into the idea by glib-tongued internationaliste

provisions. c

While it would he u nleaaura to be of

extremely heavy volume of vork confronting mo causes
my schedule to be so uncertain that I do not see how
I can plan to be with you. The grant pressure of my
official duties has forced no to decline all sneaking

Dear Joe,
I know you are familiar with the situation in most
of the country and understand that the Connecticut problem,
particularly in Fainfield County is unique. Here, in one
of the most densely populated residential, commerical, and
industrial areas in the United States, we are located in
such close proximity to metropolitan New York and Boston that
we have had the absolute minimum personal contact from
national figures. We feel that periodic visits, not
necessarily frequent, are important to improve or euen
retain our favorable position in the local, state, and
national picture.
It is with
sincerely ask you tothis deep conviction that I
exert in our behalf, your utmost effort
and to extend to our good friend J. Edgar Hoover an
invitation to speak in Bridgeport.
Specifically, the Algonquin Club is an organization
made up primarily of the key industrial, commercial,
professional, and judicial men in this section of Connecticut.
We would suggest that if possible, arrangements be made for
an evening convenient and suitable to him.
Joe, I know you know how
would not add this problem to your many. To say I appreciate
your efforts, is the ultimate in inadequacy none the less
I do.important this is - or I
I know your many many Connecticut friends join me
in wishing you and all of yours, particularly Jeannie our
heartfelt best wishes. -
Sincerely,

THF CHAIRMAN: The committee will come to order.
Members of the committee present: Senators IcC1e11ln;;
Ervin and McCarthy.! -
THE CHAlRIAN:-The Chair wishes to make a statement for
the record. »- .
As is well known to the public. this committee has been
conducting a series of hearings for several months into the
matter of EastIest trade and downgrading and decontrol of
strategic goods and materials that our NATO allies iere_being
permitted to shift to European Communist bloc countries.
In the course of those hearings the Committee sought
from the Department of Commerce, the Department of State,
and the ICA certain documents, memoranda, and minutes of
the meetings of what was called the JC Committee, the Joint
Gperating Committee, a committee set up within the several
departments of the Government which were interested in the
subject matter to review items that were then under control
and under embargo and make recommendations with respect to
decontrolling or downgrading such items, in other words, to
determine the position of our government before our represen-
tatives went to the QOOOM conference in Paris in 1954.
The Committee was denied those documents on the basis-.

not even given these documents on a classified basis.
The Committee has taken the position that those documents
should have been made available and that the Committee and
the Congress and the public were entitled to know their con-
tents.
The Administration has been adamant in refusing to lake
such information available to this Committee, and it was
with shocking surprise, I may say, when it came to the
attention of the Chairman on last Saturday, June 23, that I
book had been published and was ready for early distribution, -
entitled The Inside Story, a book whose contents are based
upon documents, material, minutes, and other information
similar in nature and character to that which this Committee
has been trying to obtain in the course of discharging its
duties and responsibilities to which I have already referred.
It was apparent to the Chair when he read the book or
Just by glancing through it, by a casual reading of excerpts
from it, that this book could not have been written except
that the Minutes of Cabinet meetings and inter-office neuoranda
and other such documents inthe nature of those we had re-
quested to aid this committee had been made available to the
author of the book for his private use for commercial purposes,
and obviously for his financial advantage and to the discrim-
ination ot other reporters andcmer publications.
So the Chair, acting upon his own responsibility at that

time, immediately dispatched a telegram to M. Maxwell Babb,
Secretary of the Cabinet. I shall now read into the record J
the telegram that was sent to Mr. Rabb last Saturday. I
quote: _
"My attention has been called to the June 23 issue of
theew Yorker magazine in which is published a review by
Richard Revere of a new book "The Inside Story by Robert J;
Donovan.
"I have procured an advance copy of this book and while
¢
I have not concluded reading it, it appears that it contain
and much or it is based upon confidential minutes of Cabinet
meetings, inter-office memoranda, advisory opinions and other
secret data, similar ih character and nature to that which _
the Executive Branch of the Government has withheld from and
[Bfused to make available to the Senate Subcommittee on
Investigation. I cite as one concrete example the refusal
of the State Department, the Department or Commerce and the
ICA to make available to this subcommittee the minutes,
records and file of the Joint Operating Committee regarding
its deliberations and actions in recommending the decontrol
and downgrading of strategic goods and materials for sale ;
and shipment by our NATO llies to the European Communist
bloc countries.
It is difficult to understand and to reconcile the
attitude, action and policy of the Erecutive Branch of the:

" .--~31. 92|'-0you will appear before the subcommittee tomorrow and give; _
r
testimony before it to that effect."
Again signed by we as Chairman.
We have not at the moment heard from Mr. Rabb. Be has
not appeared. A telephone call to his office since th com-
mittee convened this morning brings us the information that
another letter from him is on its way. What that letter
contains, the contents of that letter, I do not know. As
soon as it is received it will be made a part of the record
of this proceeding this morning.
Gentlemen, that is the situation. I assume it will be
necessary for the Committee, after receiving the letter, to
consider it and then to enter into such deliberations as
the Committee feels desirable to determine the further course
of action.
Does any member of the Committee wish to make any com-
ment?
SENATOR IlcCARTHY: Yes, llr. Chairman, a brief comment.
. Number one, the wire is the same as a subpoena, so in-_
effect llr. ilshb has been subpoenaed. and he has ignored that.
Tbat leaves him in contempt of the Committee. No halo sur-
rounds that throne which allows him to ignore a subpoena.

to the book, for this reason: A New York magazine has pointed
out that, this being a glorification of Eisenhower based ' ,
upon confidential Cabinet meetings, only Eisenhower could have1
authorized the release of those documents to Donovan. I i §~
frankly can't believe that is true. I would like to know,
-a-1
however. Before I make any further statement I would like
to give Eisenhower a chance to deny that he authorized the
release of this material. I would like to give bin a chance t
to repudiate the scurrilous statements made about public
figures attributed to him and also find out whether or not
he is going to order an investigation to find out who did _»
release the Cabinet minutes in violation of all of his p A
secrecy orders, orders which, incidentally, I don't agree 1
with so far as secrecy is concerned.
T
I think further we should issue a formal subpoena to
Babb so that he can't claim he has never been subpoenaed.
I
Another thing, I. Chairman: while we are here this I
morning I would like to call to the Chair's attention in
connection with the investigation of textiles a paragraph
from page 341, and with the Chair's permission I would
like to read this brief paragraph into the record. This_il
apparently based upon minutes of a Cabinet meeting. Quote: h Q

by McCarthy to hold back suchiniormation until McCarthy -1-
felt that the right time had come for producing it. Sherman
Adams remarked drily that the GAO start situation was being n
corrected." i
M. Chairman, I think this ties directly into the inves-
tigation which we are conducting on the Government procure-
ment of textiles. I don't know whether Hr. Brownell has been
peroperly quoted. If he is, I can say that he is guilty of
a deliberate misstatement, but I don't accuse his of that. '
I think we should give him a chance. I would like the Chair-
man, if he would, to ask Mr. Brownell to tell this coneittee
ghether or not he is properly quoted. If he were properly
quoted, then he should give us the name of the clothing
manufacturer and he should give us the name of the GAD
staff who he says has been instructed by Hcarthy to hold
back information so we may call those G80 employees down here
and so we may check and see what action, if any, has been
taken against this clothing manufacturer who is guilty of
misconduct.
Certainly something should have been done if they have
this information, either that or he should repudiate this.
It is one of the most scurrilous statements against a Senator
1-.3 __~'-V It _-kip 1.».

that I have read for some time, so we should go into that and
get all of the picture. .
._;_.
.-1,. K,
After Brownell has been so quoted he should not hide 7~.
behind any dodge and refuse to give us the information. ,
TH CHAIRMAN: A11 right, Senator McCarthy.
The Chair will make this observation at this tile: This
publication has presented a situation of which I an of the l
opinion at the moment, unless someone can point out where I
am in error, this committee does have jurisdiction. In
almost any investigation which it is presently conducting ,
I
the Committee could inquire into a matter of that broad :
nature and import. Almost any investigation the colmittee
is now conducting would embrace in its jurisdiction andin
its objectives a claritication or a finding of tact with
respect to this procedure which is being followed as a policy,
apparently. I should say I think it is a new policy and
practice. It is something novel in my experience that a
Senatorial committee or Congressional committee charged with
the Duty and responsibility of studyin the Governlent at
all levels can be denied governmental documents, nemoranda,
and material which is on file in the Executive Branch o?. K o_~5¢..v
the Government on the grounds that it is confidential, _
documents that are certainly at a lower level than the minutes
of cabinet proceedings, and then find that the minutes of
Cabinet proceedings, which are secret and_coniidential, can L;

view of the fact that we have already authorized the inves-
tigation of textile procurement, the Chairman doesn't need
a beeting of the committee but on his own authority can
personally call upon r. Brownell to give us the inforiation
which I referred to at page 341 of the book.
THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair will instruct
to prepare a letter to be dispatched to Mr.
my signature requesting the information thethe Chief Counsel
Brownell over

That answer should he given. It amounts to a charge against
a member of this committee of probably some
wrong-doing. If the

to clarify the charges in the book. i
I
saaaroa licCARTHY: Ir. Chairman, 1 may say that 1 ha92i_eb;4not had a chance to read this book, but have merely glancld *
through it. Certain things stood out. I would like to callét
the Chair's attention to page 254, keeping in mind that when
5'-I
the Mundt Committee was holding the Army hearings, commonly '
known as the Army-IcCarthy hearings, we were refused any -
information as to who was responsible for calling on this
investigation which immobilized the investigating committee
for months. We were refused that information on the grounds,._ .t
that it could not be given, as I recall, in the national _ Q
interest, or something like that. ' -
On page 254 we find this mam» basing this upon Cabinet
hearings, apparently, and stating, if I may quote, "The
report that the Army had prepared at the suggestion of
Sherman Adaas." --
There is considerably more than that, but in view of
the fact that the lundt Committee could not get the informa-
tion in its investigation I was very curious to know who -
called on this smear attack. I think Adams should be given
the opportunity of either confirming or repudiating this.
I am not asking the Chair to make any decision on that he-
»92
cause that is not strictly within the scope of ieither of
the two hearings being conducted, but I hope that can be done
I would like publicly now, personally, not as a member

I would like to of the committee, as an individual Senator _
or not this * call upon Sherman Adams to tell us whether _ F
t
statement on page 254 is true or not, whether or not he was
, .the man who started this scurrilous attack which nnde it Q 5

impossible for us to investigate Communists in defense plants
-1
for a matter of months and resulted in many of those Cou-
munists being there today who would not be there had this
not been called.
As I say, I an not asking the Chair to take any action
on it, but I an personally calling on Mr. Adams either to
confirm or deny.
THE CHAIRIAN: Senator Erwin.
SENATOR ERVIN: Mr. Chairman, this situation is lore
peculiar than any of the events recorded in Alice in lender-
laud. The Administration denies to a Senate Committee _
original records of activities of the.Executive Branch of the
Federal Government even though access to those records is
deemed by the Senate committee to be necessary to enable the
Senate to discharge its legislative duties to the American
people. Yet the Administration apparently gives access to the
original records of the activities of the Executive Branch
'1
of the Federal Government to an individual wrter and to a
1
publisher so that such writer and such publisher can peddle
the original records of such activities for his personal
pcuniary protit.

THE CHAIRMAN: The Chair would also point out that at
least it has come to our attention that on Hay 15, 1956,
_ vI
Assistant Attorney General Stanley H. Barnes, testifying ~-"
before the House Government Operations Committee, in reeponle
to a question as to whether or not the matter of advisory
-v-.__
committees had been brought up at any of the meetings, re-
plied:
"I do not know. Of course I couldn't say if I did."
That is with reference to whether it was brought up at
Cabinet meetings. He took the position that because any- 1
thing discussed in a Cabinet meeting was confidential, there-
fore he could not reveal the information to a senatorial
committee.
That only accentuates and aggravates the situation which
is now presented to this committee.
At this point the record may show the letter now being
received from The White House.
The Chair will read the letter into the record at this
point:
"The White House, W1shington, June 26, 1956.
"Dear Senator IcC1el1an:

add to what I have already stated. Hence, I respectfully
decline your invitation to appear and testify."
Signed, "Harwell n. Babb, Cabinet Secretary." 3. a
p ¢
The letter may be printed in the record at this point. .
SENATOR IQQARTHY: Hr. Chairman, may I say I think that
is completely and inexcusably arrogant. This committee
asked him to appear. I would make the strong suggestion --
the Chair may want to take this up in executive session --
that a formal subpoena be served upon Hr. Babb. If he_
refuses to honor that, which he has no right to do, I doubt
very much that it will do much good to have him cited for
contempt and the matter referred to the U. S. Attorney:
Office.
lay I say to the Chair I have taken the trouble of
_ _checking into the law on this matter. I find that the Senate
need not refer a contempt action to a grand Jury or to the
U.S. Attorney. The Senate can act on it itself. It can
determine whether or not he was in contempt. It can determine
the punishment. I think maybe we are in a position where that
unusual action light have to be taken if Ir. Rabb continues
with this arrogant refusal to honor a request of the com- =
mittee.
Mr. Chairman, may I say that I have just been called
to appear before the Internatl Security Committee and, withF

THE CHAIRMAN: To clarify to some extent the ConIittee'a
position with respect to Mr. habb,Mr. Babb is Secretary_o! the
-- .;' [+1_ "'92C binet and certainly, presumably at least, all records ¢§§;¢
"Cf,
Cabinet meetings are in his custody as such secretary. ale ;
would also refer to chapter ll in the book The Inside Story,
I
which reads in part as follows, ciearly indicating that =
Mr. Rabb has information and that either Ir. Rahb or the -
President hinselt nade this particular information that I
will rotor to available to the author of the book. I quote:
"After Congress adjourns the President on the eve of _
his departure for Denver made a broadcast reviewing in the
best light he could the record of the session. Commenting i
on his speech in an editorial on August 8 the Washington Poet
said, Perhaps the weakest or the four major areas oi action
cited by the President is equality of opportunity, on which
relatively little has been done." -
That has reference to the title of the chapter, Civil
Rights. Then it says:
"Hr. Ixwell Babb showed Eisenhower the editorial.
Mr. President, he said, ' some day they will eat their
words. We will see, the President replied."
It does appear to the Chair that only two people had
that information. That information is contained as a part of

about some other affairs pertaining to government, and that .
is why it shall insist now and a letter will be dispatched,
as the Chair has indicated, to the Department heads who have
the information which this committee has been seeking for IOII
_,.. _ c
time. _ *".1_ e"--.____ . '
The Chair will make this further statement in conclusion:
If M. Babb, as Secretary of the Cabinet, does not have any
information that would be helpful to this coemittee, if he it.-"'§

is accurate in that statement, in view of the position that
a
he occupies then I do feel that The White House oeee it
to this committee, to the Congress, and to the people of the
Q
Unitee States to immediately clear up this matter so that 1% I
we may know whether the Congress er the United States end *F~
its regularly constituted committees are being discriminated -
against in favor of e selected, preferred private report and

publication, and whether that is the policy of this Adminis-

tration and, if not, then an explanation is certainlh in _f
order as to how this could possibly have occurred. *h-I».

Dear Joe: I
yI wish to acknowledge your letter of
S n January 13, 1954, enclosing the Las Vegaa u
column of January 8 by Hank Greenspan.
In order to get a ruling on this columnas to whether or not it contains any facts whichmighttbe a violation of Federal law, I have referredit to the attention of the Department. I frankly donot sec any violation within our preliminary Juris-diction. It certainly was a scurrilous attack.
ee a and kind regards,
Sincerely,
UFF
