San Francisco. He was educated in the California Public Schools, completing
part of his high school and some of his university work in China, the I»
university work being taken at Tsing Hua University. In Hay of 1937 he bf
graduated from the University of California with an A. 3. degree in po-
litical science and history. Apparently he was unemployed in San Francisco
from_!ay through August of 1937 when he went to New lbrk City, receiving
his first employment there in October of 1937. For a period of about two
years until September, 1939, he served as Executive Secretary of the Chinese
Hand Laundry Alliance at a salary of $900 per annm. From September of
1999 to July of 1940 he engaged in establishing a Chinese newspaper known
as the China Daily News with address at 105 Mott treet, New Ybrk City.
From July, 1940, to the date of his employment with the Fedpral government
he operated as President and Editor of the China Daily News at 8 salary of

He stated that it may have originated during the split several years ago
and due to the fact that it does not exclude Conmnmists or any other po-
litical groups from membership. it the time of the division the conserve-
tive elements brought a lawsuit challenging the election vrhich reected
the split. The conservative group after extended litigation lost this
suit. The incident is reported on by attorneys who participated and also
by others. From such reports and from inferences, which it is believed
may be dravrn from Hong's own statement, it is believed that the organi-
sational division represented a victory for the Communist group in the
Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance and that the cumulative evidence shows
the alliance to be a Comlmmist Party affiliate._____________

extracted from past copies of the Collunist newspaper, "Daily Iorksr".
in item in an issue of the Daily Iorker on Ilay 5 of 1933 consists of s
letter from James Lee, Secretary of the Chinese Hand Laundry Allixce
and Supervisor of Bong. Lee's letter refers to the record of the i1i.'c'e

In another item in the Daily Iorker, issue of January 31, 1938, a
report is made on activities resulting in the obtaining of ambulances for
shipment to the South Chinese front. According to the news item the
announcement of the completion of the aizulancs undertaking was mde by
one Chu Tang of the Chinese Hand Laundry issociation. The item reported
that procuring of two more ambulances las to be undertaken by the Alliance

The paper has been publishing since July of 1940 and probably
would supply an accurate application of the Communist party line test.
It is understood that the paper is printed in Chinese and probably a
considerable aaount of translating would be required to ascertain whether
or not the paper adhered to the Communist party line. There is the addit-
ional problem of whether the ordinary cnnception of the party line test
would apply to a Chinese Communist. Since China was at war with Japan
during the period from August of 1939 to June of 1941, there is little
likelihood that the test usually applied during this period would have
any significance. The Chinese, including the Chinese Counists, were
probably not anti-British and certainly favored as much intervention for
the Chinese in the Chinese-Japanese conflict as could be provided. -92
ipa iron the foregoing it is believed that the evidence shows the V
newspaper to be Communietic.
There is a report filed with the Dies Committee, undated, which states
that two Chinese Counamist leaders, Leiu Chei llann of 191 Canal Street and
Tong llanchu of 172% Canal Street were to publish a Coanmist party paper in
the summer of 1940. 191 Canal Street is the address of the Chinese Hand
Laundry Alliance. The hone residence given by Bong in New York City is
298 lest llth Street. However, it should be noted that at the time of the

vented to keep it that way, that he had explicit confidence in DreE

Chi, that Mr Hong is under careful supervision and oven if he were'/_9292e ceenemin he is not in a position where he can do any damage, that
the selection of suitable Chinese was s delicate matter, and it is
extremely difficult to obtain a ccmpetent employee who does not have
connections which might constitute leaks in the organization, that
under the present setup with Dr. Chi and Mr. Bong there have been no
incidents of condential information getting into unauthorized channels
and that there had been no attempts on I-tr. Hong's part to use his
present position four the spreading of Columnist propaganda. Mr.
Lattinore also pointed out that Mr. Hong was recently used by the
Lrnw to teach Chinese to 22.4 officers in Iniia. Mr. Lattimors stated
that he did not know Hr. Hong but he did lmow Dr. Chi and is relyirg
upon Ih-. Ch.is reoonnendation and knowledge of Mr. Kong.

92 could not get away with anything. He could not com it
verbal sabotage, and all of the work coming out of the
New York office has to clear through me".
On a later occasion Dir. Lattimore stated to our investigator
in part:
"Now I know that the various factions smear a non-Conformist
by charging him with being a Communist. However, the Chinese
Government dare not come out in the open and intervene in
such domestic problems. I merely say this: If your people
have gone to the Chinese Ambassador or any other Chinese
Government representative and such Chinese representative has
told you that this man Hang is suspected oi being a Connunist,
then I say you should discount such evidence and certainly
should not declare the man ineligible merely on that kin!
of evidence. It is true that I don't know anything about
Hong personally except what I have learned frcm Dr. Chi. It
is also true that he could be a Communist without my knowledge.
It is also true that he could have hoodwinked Dr. Chi. However,
until concrete evidence is presented that he is a Ccmnmist
then I believe that based on Dr. Chi's standing and reputation
and ability, P-is judgment that Hang is not s Cammnist is e
prime-facie case in favor cf Hong and should not be reversed
on the testimony that you may have received frm anyone repre-
senting the Chinese government or for that matter on the testi-
mony of any Chinese."
11. will be noted that the ammo-sesitiiger re-. Lattimore'e"'
testimony is that he does Mr. Hong, that he does know Dr. .
Chi, tlmtghe has hill faith in Dr. Chi and was willing to employee/Z9g»on'Dr. Chi's reccnnerxiation, that he does not know whether Bong
a Cclnmunist, but does not think be is and that even if Hong werea Communist, he would still like to retai Ijong in as 8_eI"!f_i§9.-.bB@ll¢Hong could do no harm in his position. F I I

In his letter to Mr. Barnes, Hr. Lattimore outlined the entire
situation as he understood it, described the relationship between
Horg ani Dr. Chi s.nd then said!
"Ls long as Dr. Chi stands in the relationship of loyal
friendship to me and the loyalty of an honest employee oi an
American government agency, there will be no difficulty with

men is therefore a guarantee to the secrecy and security oi

ram'E attacks to their origin and give you
the full details. I doubt whether the Personnel Security
Consnittee of UNI would be able to trace such attacks, rooted
in the intricacies of Chinese factionsl politics, to their
source; but I should not like to see us placed in a position
where, after getting rid of people now attacked, we would be
forced to hire people who would actually be the nominee of
factions not under our control.
The foregoing letter £1-an Mr.'Lattimore to Hr. Barnes was written V
1
92in strict confidence and is not to be quoted to any outside source.
The evidence before the Cmnnission at the time unfavorable action
was originally taken in the case of Mr. Hong tended to indicate rather
strongly that Hong is a Communist and engaged in activities having for
their purpose support of Communist party interests. ihe recent in-
vestigation and interviews have not changed the evidence and have on
the contrary elicited some information tending to strengthen the posi-
tion that Hong is pro-Comuniet. Thus it was brought out in addition
to all of the other information that Hong was active in the America
Student Union during his school years. _
The evidence indicated that Hong is pro-Ocnnnmist. The question
now for determination is whether his employment should be approved be-
cause oi the strong representations of Mr. Lattimore that Hung is
probably not a Cmmunist, but even ii he is e Communist Mr. Lattimore
still wishes to retain him because Hong will work under close super-
vision and not be able to do awhnws ~ -- - -- _, _ __1 Ii l-

/ On the one hand it can he argued that since we are reasonably -
convinced that Bong is pro-Ccnmmist, it is our responsibility to re-
quire his removal notwithstaniing Mr. Lattimore's representations.
On the other hand the Ccnniesion could, if it wished, take the posi-
tion that since Mr. Littmore has assumed responsibility, the Ocsilissioun
can afford to permit Hong's retention in the service. If the Cun-
mission takes the Latter position it will be tantamount to saying that
although we believe the individual is a Communist, we will be willing .
to rate him eligible provided the employing agency is willing to assume
the reepozueibihty. l doubt the Commission can afford to avoid
the issue in this manner. Ir we believe Hong is a Oonsunist then we .. - I

and with the China Daily News. Much of the information regarding the
Coumunistic nature of the Alliance and the newspaper cane Iran Chinese,
some of whom were oommected with competing nevspqaers. We 0111'-N1"!
have not read the China Daily Iiews. Mr. Lettimore states he has read
some of the issues and has found nothing Connunistic in them, al-
though he admits there might have been something Coumunistic in theissues which he has not read. Hr. Latjina:-e has- spent -and from his statement and letter t o1'-r. Barnes that
he is thoroughly familiar with the various political factions. his
conclusion is that Hong's connections, in the light of his knowledge
of the situation, do not necessarily point to pro-Coununism. In
matters of the Chinese, Lattimore is scnewhat oi an expert and his
opinion is entitled to considerable weight,
Since we have no direct evidence that Hong is a Ccmmnist,
and since the original decision was based on the circumstances of
Hong's connections and in view of I-jr. La.ttim0re's representations,
l an ready to reach the conclusion that possibly we made an error
in the case of Mr. Hong; I en, therefore, ready to recommend that Wk. y
Bong be rated eligible for retention in his position in the Office
of War Information.
In the case of Dr. Chi, I recommended in my memorandum of Fay '7,191.3 that he be rated eligible. Mr. Smith did not agree with me. The Q
Gcnnission has not yet acted on the case of Dr. Chi. For the reasons
stated in my memorandum of May 7, 1943, I again recommerd that Dr. Chi
be rated eligible.

I do not believe I clearly understand Mr. Lattimore's point of
view regarding the cases of Chi and Hang. It seems that he is, in
effect, suggesting that whatever evidence we may have, short oi being
positive and direct, tending to show the applicants to be cccmunisticelly
inclined is entitled to very little weight and that his judgment, based
on his personal knowledge of Chi and on Chi's appraisal of Bong, should
prevail. However, as pointed out by Hr. Klein, there is no absolute
proof that the applicants are Ccusmnists and in view of Zattimoreis
knowledge of the complicated Chinese political situation, gained
through years of residence in China, I am also willing to change nu
previous reccmmendation for both applicants from ineligibility to
eligibility.

Hr. Hong was originally investigated in New York for this posi-
tion and was rated ineligible by the Commission see Minute 4 of Dec-

mission was informed that Mr. Hong's services were terminated at the
close of business November 15, 1942 as a result of information furnished
the II by the Commission in a letter dated October 26, 1942.
The Comission was subsequently inicrned umier date of Jug 27, 1943
by Admiral McCullough that the information furnished it by Hr. Elmer Davis
under date of November 30, 194.2 regarding the termination of Er. !'l0ng'8
services, was somewhat i.n error as Hr. Hang was separated from the New
York Office of II for duty with the Army and that upon his return in
the Spring of 1943 he was again employed in the new York Office as the
New York Office was not advised of the fact that Hr. Hong had been de-
clared ineligible by the Civil Service Commission.

92 , .4-the young Dr. Chi-,i_s_;|.L1g3, mt ntly, a Comm? and that beat one time was a delegate to the ______Inte:-natio in lloscos and
to the effect that the elder Dr. C was 1'-enoveo Tron his position asCommissioner of Education in the Shansi Province because of Conmnist I
activities. .---"="---6 iii
Hr. Lattimore devoted considerable time to a discussion of fac-
tional striie anong the Chinese and possible interests on the part of
witnesses giving derogatory testimony regarding Hr. Hong. He appeared
/*"'"92incli.ned to explain away all accusations of Conmmism made against Ir.
Hong on this basis. He also advanced as a neason for believing the
Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance not to be e Communist organization the
fact that this organization was composed oi snall businessmen whose in-
terests iould be affected adversely under Cowunism. Er. Lattimore said
he could not understand why the story that the elder Dr. Chi was removed
from his position as kinister of Education in the Shansi Province because
of Cousunist activities would be circulated. Ir. Lattinore also stated
that Dr. Chi was known to Congressman Walter B. Judd of Minnesota uni
that Congressman Judd, a former missionary, spent some time in Shansi
Province during the time Dr. Chi was an official there. It was pointed
out to Hr. Lattimore that testimony regarding Dr. Chi's removal Ias se- _cured by the Commission both in New York and San Francisco. The in.l'or-
* mation received in San Francisco came from a source found to Q |;'E:abl§ _'
in the past by the Commission. The informant did not lcnol Dr. Chi per-
sonally but had to inquire about his to secure this information. Tint
this latter source should be biased against Dr. Chi in making this state-
ment appears to be unlikely.
After a lengthy discussionhoi t m case suchas the intricacies oi Chinese politics, possible motives Iitnesee; testi-
fying sign have, etc., as sell as the derogatory testimony itself, Ir.
Lattirnore, Hr. Harsh and Adii iieCullough iere asked ihether, in v:|.eI_
oi the information in the case, they felt that Hr. I-long should be retained.
Their statements Iere substantially as follows:
llr. Lsttimore stated that he wished to keep Ir. Bong on the Job, that
he had an efficient setup in the Chinese Section in New Iork and wanted to
keep it that say, that he has explicit confidence in Dr. Chi, that llr. I-long
is under careful supervision and even ii he were a Communist that he is notin e position there he caild do any damge, that the selection bf suitable %
Chinese was a delicate matter and it is ea-rtrc-renal"; &i'iazlt to obtain a %
patent employee who does not have connections which nigat constitute leaks
in the organization, that under the present setup Iith Dr. Chi and Ir. Bong
there had been no instances of confidential information getting into unau-
thorized channels and that there had been no attempts on Ir. Hoops part to
use his present position tor the spreading of Cocuniet propaganda, etc.
Hr. Lattinore also pointed out that I-lr. Bong Ias recently used by the Lrq
to teach Chinese to 221. officers in India. Ir. I-long was hialy praised for
this work in a letter from Col. Gilchrist of the United States Lrq.l

The substance of Ir. Lettinore's statements was to the effect that
he u-"ante to retain k. -long and is still relying um.-1 Dr. Chi: reo% - _nendation and knowledge or Hr. Hong, all evidence to the contrary not-
withstanding» _______.------'-"""""'
WHr. harsh stated that he recognizes the intricacies of Chinese pc1i- Z
tics and he feels that if Hr. Lsttinore still rants to employ Hr. Bong,
lcnoring the nature of the testimony against him, the risk involved, etc, 5he would recoanend that Hr. Lattimore be permitted to retain Hr. Hong K
as an employee of OII in his present position.
Admiral McCullough said that it 1'-r. I-long was to be removed on the
basis of the evidence that he had heard in the case that he felt that
others higher up in the organization should also go, that others had
retained against whom the evidence was more danagng than it was
against Ir. Bong, that he would go along with In-. Lsttilore and Hr. Harsh
in favor of Ir. I-Kong's retention in the Service. *
In vies of the rm. that llr, Lattinore is placing so much reliance rj Kupon Dr. Chi, shone case is aiso pending before the Commission at the pre-2!?-'- i

The attached is of some interest in the Jessup case in view
of the State Department's press releases to the effect that Ambassador
Jessup was only one of 50 trustees of the Institute of Pacific Relations.
The Research Advisory Council, of which Jeesup was Chaimsn,
had complete editorial control over the publication FAR EASTERN SURVEY,
which concentrated. upon selling the Cemnuniat Party line on Asia.
During l?!l3, E. C. Carter teciznically was in control o
magazine. However, the actual physical control was exercised by Jessup
at the time of the Bisson article, which initiated the Conrznmist Party
line smear attack upon the e.nti-Cozmnunist forces in China. and the lavish
praise of the Chinese Communist leaders. The anti~-Communist Chinese
were referred to him when they objected to the fact that the FAR EASTERN
SURVEY was following the Ccnmunist Party line on Chine.
The attached checks represent Communist money paid to suppor't
the Jessup publication. It will be noted they are signed by Frederick
V. Field, the self-proclaimed Communist who has been named in sworn
testimony before the Senate Committee as a Soviet espionage agent-

Honorable Joseph R. McCarthy
United States Senate
Iashington, D. C.
Ey dear Senator:
I have received your letter dated June 27, 1950
inquiring whether this Bureau has examined the 81 loyalty
files which the members of the Tydings Committee have
been scrutinizing and whether such an examination by
the FBI has disclosed that the files are complete and
that nothing has been removed therefrom.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has made no
such examination and therefore is not in a position to
make any statement concerning the completeness or in-
completeness of the State Department files.
For your information, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation furnished Mr. Ford, at his request, o
record of all loyalty material furnished the Etate
Department in the 81 cases referred to. For your
further information, I am enclosing a copy of Hr. Ford's
letter to Senator Tydings which I have secured from the
Attorney General.
Sincerely yours,
Enclosure Q U

This ease was presented to the Senate
as e typical file covering those individuals
whose oases were given to the Senate by
Senator McCarthy. The name of the individ-
usl involved was deleted because of the

that no individual should be publicly named
util he has had the opportuity to present
his defense. The names of informants have
also been deleted es well as all other in~

BASIS FOR IINFSTIGATION -1 '
An FBI informant of known reliability was contacted by the FBI during
course of a previous security investigation conducted in June l9l:1.2. _At
this time he hlrnished a list containing names of persons on active indices
or mailing list of United American Spanish Aid Committee. List contained
name - Group cited by Attorney General.!
Previous FBI investigations indicate that United American Spanish
Aid Committee was organized by Communist Party and completely controlled
by it.
An FBI agent who joined the Communist Party at the request of the
Bureau in 1937 and was expelled iron the Communist Party in 19148 and whose
record as an informant was one of complete reliability, stated that h
was a member of the Communist Party and personally known to him as such.
The same informant advised that L wife, L, had
been a member of the Comnnmist Party both before and after her marriage to
i. She formerly lived with . and the wife of
Bernard Addes. They have maintained close association with m an
admitted Communist Party member.
According to this informant i. 01-lined 1'-0 have 1968!! in 1-110
Communist Party in Europe and said his father had been a Trotsiqits.
i came to a lot of "open unit" meetings and to all recruiting
meetings of the Communist Party from 1938 to sometime in 19h2- This
informant said he had had no contact with i since 19142, stating
further that hwu horrified at the Russo-German alliance in 1939.
Another reliable FBI informant recalled i as a member of the
Communist Party in the late 1930s.
His wife, W was formerly secretary to in OI
Workers Alliance. His wife, h, was member of and active in
Young Communist League before and a while after she became a Communist
Party %Hb8I'c
A reliable informant said Bernard Addes and his wife were associates
on in the late 1930's and these people were both members of the Communist
Party and have been over a long period. lire. Addes and "M:-s. n were long
time friends. Er. Addes ran for Governor of Maryland about 1931; on Counmun:Lst
Party ticket. Recently named in paper and by radio commentators as well-

to be more cautious until a definite policy had been forsnilated by the

no trouble since. concluded by stating that he had no
serious doubts as tot loyalty.
Office or United Nations Affairs, said as had been
i of the above committee on Czechoslovakia as sell as other
committees. I advised that ntver before had . seen a menber of the
committee adopt an attitude such as that exemplified by L She
said that i evidenced a strong pro-Czechoslovakian attitude and
approached every question with the query: "Hon will this affect Czechoslovakia
and not "H0-rr will it affect the overall policy of the United States."
. saidi inmzdiate reaction was that he must be a
Czechian National or at least oi Czechoslovakian ancestry. 1 had no
contact other than the three months period from ipril to July 19145 and
said I could not comment other than to state from his actions K
would hesitate to place too much trust in him from a loyalty standpoint.
The following is a signed statement dated September 7, 19148, Iran
s follows:
I served as g of the Czcchoslovaidam Cc::mittee in Hay Nil
June of 19146. lly acquaintance with the person in whom you are interested is
limited to this period. At the first meeting and at all meetings thereafter,
I noted that he approached each problem from the standpoint "Hour will this
help Czechoslovakia?" As I recall, such questions as German transit rates,
the settlement of the Army's debts, and further loam to Czechoslovakia Iere
under consideration. I know nothing about the person in question, but U16
bias displayed was so marked that I queried the fr and found
she had reacted in similar fashion. I assumed he was of Czech origin and
checked the register as a matter of curiosity, only to discover that his
origin was Russian. Since he had worked in other agencies and his origin
would naturally have caused him to be thoroughly investigated, I did nothing
further at the time.
I recall two other episodes. He requested me to have reproduced, as I
Committee documnt, an article by Maurice Hindus which had appeared in the
Congressional Record. I believe at the request of congressman Sabbath,
but an not certain.! The article was a eulogy of Bones policy of friendship
and cooperation with the 5oviet Union. Apart from the contents of the
article about which I had grave questions!, the request to publish it as
a Committee document was peculiarly out of order. I spoke with Br. Gangs
and Mr. Reber of the Secretariat about it, but they took the position that
the Secretariat couldn't question a Committee member: request. I than
spoke with Hr. Iillianson, the Connittee chairnuan, stressing theL_1 . _ . l . _ ... _ 7 .» _._ _i. is .- --V.-¢.=a-u..#l_~-was-___'-_1-:|r.ia~-;1i-;.;..-Inn; -db.-_.l|c.;: - - .i» _-..o...

inappropriateness and the expense the article was lengthy!. He directed
me not to issue it as a document, but to obtain a. few copies of the Record '
and circulate them for information. That was done.
At that stage I was beginning to have doubts of the nature of the
pro--Czech bias --- as it pro-Czech or proSoviet, particularly since the
reports from our massy were to the effect that Czechoslovakia was over
the hump and that he night be building up Czech industry ibr Russia. All
the information ccmixg into the Department during that period was certainly
opposed to the position taken by the person under consideration, and policy in
line with the reports was established by the Secretary shortly thereafter.
Toward the end of June I attended a mating of the Russian Committee under
lir. last, secretary of the Committee, at which the individual
under consideration was present. After the mating, which was on 0. highly
secret matter, in ccssmented that he considered the individual
dangerously pro-Soviet and that he intended to discuss the quetion oi his
further attendance with the Chairman oi the Russian Goulnittee. I do not
know what subsequently transpired, since I went on detail to UIVA early in
To summarize: I was so strongly convinced initially oi pro-Czech bias
that I assumed the individual was oi Czech origin, but the matters involved
were such that Soviet interests were also served. The weight of opinion and
information from the Embassy during the period did notaffect his Jud@nt
or approach, although it directly preceded and must have entered into the
sharp policy decision by the Secretary. I believe I was totally unaffected
by the Russian origin of the individual since that fact plus his previous
employment led me to assume that he would have undergone o. searching invest-
igatim and must have been cleared. It was considerably later, when all
connection with the Committee and the individual had. been terminated, that
I recommended an investigatilm.
The determinigg factor was therealisation, hrom facts emrging in
other cases, that the assumption of thorough investigation in view or background
was not necessarily valid. I still hesitated since I am totally opposed to
"red-smearing" and other form of harrassment. I was questioned about
another individual both by the Department security officers and by FBI agents
and was impressed by their ability and by their sincerity in trying to search
out the truth. With that assurame oi s thorough investigation and fair
hearing for the individual, Ifelt that I dared not refrain any longer iron
recommending an investigation. This is the only instnce in over six years
in the Department when I have felt that I had to take such acticn.

dieloyal to the nite-d States government. Thong: about B year!

of the organization to two or the elevator operators which he
intimated to be operators as being better than our lnerican way.

Another reason which makes m think that he might be a Cmmnist il
that he gave out literature which I hea-d supported the Spanish

"Case No. 1. The man involved in case Ho. 1 is employed in the office of
an Assistant Secretary of State. The intelligence unit shadowed him and found hill
contacting members of an espionage group. 1 memorandum of December 13, l9l;6,
indicates that he succeeded in having a well-lmmm general intervene with an
Assistant Secretary in behalf of one man who is an active Cormmmist with a long
record of Cozmmmist Party connections. There is another individual who is very
closely tied up with a Soviet espionage agency. There is nothing in the file to
indicate that the general referred to knew those two individuals were Communists.
"That is a part of the usual modus operandi. If there is one Gommmist
in the Department, he will get some other individual to recommend mother Communist
so that the breed can be increased.
"This individual was successful in obtaining important positions for
other Communists. They were finally ordered removed from the Department not
later than November 15 oi the following year. Subsequent to that time, however,
both of them still had access to secret material.
"A memorandum of November 2, 19146, pointed out that this individual and
the previously mentioned Communists whom he succeeded in having placed were con-
nected with an alleged Russian espionage agency. Hevertheless, this individual '
still occupies an important position in the State Department. I should like to
point out at this time, however, that the security group, which was than operating
in the State IbP8.I"l2m6nt, was apparently doing a good job. It presented the entire
picture to the Secretary of State. This individual who, the investigating agency
of the State Department says, is a Communist, got a general innocently to bring
two other Commurmists into the State Department, and he is today in the Stats
Department md has access to the secret material. ls I_ say, his name is certainly
available to any Senate committee that wants it.

Case No. 2
"This is a case to which I particularly invite the Senate's
attention. The files show two very interesting facts. 1 major portion
of the file was removed. Papers refer to information in the file which
is nonexistent. Upon contact with the keeper of the records, he stated
that, to the best of his knowledge, the major portion of the file had been
removed. He did not mention any name, but he said, Be was put in some high-
brass job about 2 years ago.
"I am inclined to think that this individual's name may be known from
the information which I shall give here.
"The file shows two things. It shows, first, that this individual
had some of his clothing picked up, with unusual material in it, an, second-
and this is important-it shows that the State Department and the President
had prepared material which was to be sent to a foreign government. The file
shows that before the material left the State Department it was in the hands of
the Kremlin in Moscow. Do Senators follow me? The State Department's own
investigative file shows that some secret material, which was being transmitted
to another nation, before it even left this country for the other country,
showed up in Moscow. So far, that is not too significant. However, the file
shows that this particular individual, who has held one of the most important
positions at one of the listening posts in Europe, was shadowed, that he was
found to have contacted a Soviet agent, and that the Soviet agent was then
followed to the 5oviet Embassy, where the agent turned the material over to
the Soviet Embassy. Do Senators follow me? This is what the secret State
Department file skews: First, the papers get to Moscow in some mysterious
manner, and, second, this individual, who is now one of our foreign ministers,
contacts a Russian espionage agent, and that agent is followed to the Russian
Embassy, where the material is handed over. This is no secret to the State
Department.
"Incidentally, I might say that I promised the press I would have
copies of this material for their use. However, in view of the fact that I
have nothing completely ready at thh time, and must refer to the documents
before me, which I cannot turn over to the press, I do not have anything to
give them. I am sorry. I shall try, however, to give them now the material
I have, and shall try to make the dates and places as clear as I can.

"Case No. 3. This individual was born in Flushing, H. I»,
in l903. He was employed with OSS in 1942, In 1945 he was transferred
to the State Department and assigned to Research and Intelligence. The
State Department's file shows that he is a member of a nuber of
Communist-front organizations, and that his pals are known Communists,
The file further shows that this fact is admitted by hhn, The original
report in which this information is contained is dated July 5, 1942.
The security report of April lB, 1946, indicates that numerous witnesses,
including college professors and police officers in California, testified
he was a radical and a fellow traveler, He was very friendly and sym-
pathetic toward Harry Bridges, and strongly opposed any move to deport
Bridges. The report also shows that he was also a close friend of Ralph
Friedman, secretary of the Communist Party in California, Another
security report, dated November 13, 1946, quotes his associates as saying
that he favored the Chinese Communists in China and favored Russia in
most respects.
"The State Department officials themselves, according to this
report, describe him as being overly sympathetic to Russia and the
Communist experiment. This is all a part of the report. Another
-Government official said the individual frequently blamed the capitalists
for all the trouble in Russia, and constantly praised Russia as the ideal.
So far as I know, everything in this individual's file indicates that he
is actively working with and for the Communists."

"He was born in North Carolina in 1900. He was employed by the Foreign
Economic Administration from August 191:2, to August 1916, and was then trans-
ferred to the State Department and placed on Research and Intelligence.--.
"The report dated Hay 1;, l9l+6, in this man's tile shows that eight per-
sons, including six college professors at Harvard University and the University
of California, agreed that this individual has strong communistic leanings, and
that in their opinion he was either a card-carryzing member oi the Gomhunist
Party or a 1elJ.ow-traveler. that is the opinion of sis: professors at Harvard
University and the University or California. Some oi the opinions expressed
by his associates might well be read. e
"A professor at the niversity of California stated that he was acquainted
with this individual since September 1937: that he did not trust him; he con-
sidered him in the class of Harry Bridges; that under no circumstances would he
hire him, and also that there was something about him that amused his intui-
tion, and caused .@ to be st;-aid oi his outside connections, and under no
circumstances would he recommend him to the Govermentw
"A. fellow student stated that he had known him since l939 and that he
knew him definitely as a Communist; that he felt that this individual was
getting money from the Communist Forty, and the other students did also, oe-
cause they would say that this individual was not preaching communism for
hie health, but that it was a business with him; that he would not reccomend
this individual to the Governnent because he feels that he is a Gonsnunist.
"This individual was discharged from a Navy school during the war for bad
grades and for Communist activities. A memorandum, dated May 15, 19b6, Iran
GSA to the Office of Controls, states that an investigation discloses evi-
dence ot a material nature tending to affect adversely the loyalty to the
United States and its institutions This report reveals that this individual
is unmietakeably identified with comnunistic activities. While the records
of the Bureau of Naval Personnel show that he was given a special order dis-
charge in March 27, l9h2, under honorable conditions, evidence in his file,
all oi QF-ich is, of course, available to the Secretary oi State, reveals thathe was discharged begase it was found that he was an ardent student oi and
advocate of communism.

"A report, dated March 25, 191.7, indicates that this individual had been
receiving mail from the Soviet Embassy, as well as comunistic publications.
An official of a Washington, D. G. university stated that he had hired this
individual to conduct a class in Chinese, but later learned that he was closely
connected with communietic groups on the west coast. Four members of the _
faculty at the University of California confirmed this individual's communistic
leanings. All of the above information was brought to the attention of the
top officials in the State Department in a memoranduxn sunmarizing the case in
191+7, with the recommendation that he be immediately discharged. The State
Department refused to discharge him because it was not proven that he had
committed any overt act. Subsequent to this time, this individual argued
often and heatedly in favor of a Communist regime in China. He admitted
having been a subscriber to the Daily Horker....
"ihe State Department's own Security Board then submitted four subsequent
reports, the first one dated September 12, 191:-7, in an attempt to convince the
Department that this man was dangerous and should be discharged. Subsequently
this man's position was abolished. However, he was not dischax-ged....He was
transferred to the Division of Reeeax-ch...."

"Case number seven. This individual was an associate business
economist to August 1944; with FEA from August 1944 to August 1945, and then
transferred to the State Department as an economist. This individual is a

organizations which are named by the Attorney General as having been Comunist
fronts. This individual admits membership in the Young Communists, and in
the other Communist-front organizations, but claims to have changed his view

"Case No. 9. This individual, after investigation, was not given
security clearance by the State Department. After failing to obtain clearance
by the State Iepartment he secured a job in the Office of the Secretary of
Defense. And where do Senators think that man is today? He is now a speech
writer in the White House. That is case No. 9- I will secure a little more
information on that case if I may.
"So that there may be no question about this, we will refer directly
to the investigative file. I think I an doing Mr. Truman a favor by telling
him this. I do not think he knows it. I do not think he would have this
individual there writing speeches for him if he knew it.
"Both the individual referred to and his Iife-this ii in the fill
of the investigative agency--are members of Communist-front organizations.
He has a relative who has a financial interest in the Daily brker. Bt in
any event the State Ibpartment used good judgment not to clear this individual."
"Case No. 77. This young man applied for a position in the State
Iepartment. The file indicates he is a very close friend of reported Comunists
and that he is closely associated with members of Communist-front organizations-
The file indicates that his wife belongs to an organization listed as subversive
by the House Un-American Activities Committee, and that a relative of his has a
financial interest in the Daily Worker.
"hr. President, 1 believe I have covered this case before, and what
I have just said seems to be a repetition. This is the case of a young man who
ended up as a speech writer in a well-known house in Washington."

"Case No, l2, This individual started as a corresponding secretary
at the White House. From there he moved over to the Soviet Embassy and
obtained a job as assistant editor. From there he transferred to the State
Department and,so far as I can discover, transferred from there to a section
of the Commerce Inpartment, with which the State Department works, where he
remained until several months ago. Where he is as of today I frankly do not
know. I think this is a rather interesting shift, however, from White House
to the Soviet Embassy, to the State Department, to the Commerce Ibpartment.'

educational program. This individual spent time in Soviet Russia in 1927
as a member of the tradeunions delegation to Soviet Russia, which delega-

was the sponsor, organizer, and member, respectively, of various COmmunist-
front organizations. He has been cited by the Daily Wbrker a number of
times for his work. The records of the industrial detail of the Chicago
pclice department list him as a Communist as early as 1930. This man's
file shows that members of the churches in Italy and high officials of the
National Catholic Welfare Council objected to his being assigned to
educational duties in Italy, basing this objection upon his commmnistic
activities. Lt. Col. Gayre, of the British Arum; who was this individualls
supervisor in Italy, indicated that he was a wild leftist theoriet,I who

Case No. 1? "This individual signed an affidavit saying that he
was a member of the Communist Party. He did this on several occasions. This
was not a non-Communist affidavit; it was a Comunist affidavit. This filo
is rather significant, in that the reviewing officer in this case indicated
that if this employee had testified to a change of heag he would have
received top-secret clearance. In other words, if this man had said, I have
now reformed, the security officer felt he was bound to give him top-secret
clearance. This, of course, seems unusual to us, but a Communist, who has,
of course, no respect for the oath, which consists of swearing before the
Creator that he will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, is educated to the idea that there is no Supreme Being, so, obviously!
an oath means nothing to him. I think the reviewing authority in the State
Department should bear that fact in mind."

Allegation,of_§enator,IcCarth;
Case No. 28: "This individual has been with the State Department as I
Foreign Service career officer since 1936. He is still holding a high
salaried job with the Government, and to the best of my knowledge he is now
stationed at Frankfurt, Germany. A report ct June 23, 19b7, indicates that
he is a member of the Communist ?arty, that he attended the Youth international
in Russia in 1935. While working in the State Department, the tile indicates,
he showed an intense interest in getting information on amything pertaining
to Russia, including any figures and records, whether or not the information
had any connection eith his particular job. He had been discharged previously
from the AFL Federation of Government Employees, on the charge of commmnistic
activity. Both he and his wife have been mebers of a number of Commnist-
front organizations, and he has been very closely associated with known com-
munist-front workers. The file discloses the interesting information that he
is a member of the central group, whose task it is to spearhead an attack on
J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI. These fellows do not like J. Edgar Hoover at all.
The man is a member of the central group which is the spearhead of such an
attack. This is all in his tile. He is still working for the Government."
