Deer Mr. Hoover,
You will no doubt recall me as one who has corresponded
with you concerning the ORT organization your last letter April 20,
1953! and certain information regarding it which I have, from time
to time, personally confided to your FBI associates.
As Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
endeavoring to track down the Communist infiltrators and subversives
in this country, I feel sure you will be interested in the enclosed
brochure I have published, which is a comprehensive and non-partisan
inquiry into the methods of our Congressional investigating committees,
their scope and effectiveness in combating the inroads oi Communism.
Oi especial interest to you may be my unnamed refer92 '
ence to "the ORT organization and my experience with government
authorities concerning it, which I mention in this brochure on page
18, under the subtitle "Author's Personal Experiences." ,
- I should very much appreciate a few words from you
9292 concerning your reactions to the thoughts expressed in this brochure.

iFOREWORD
The writer feels that the issues involved in the l92lcC.artlty
cotttrm-et'sy are of paramount importance. The controversy ragesheyottd the boundaries oi tlte United States and the word "Mc-
;utltyisut" ts ll vernacular word spoken all over the globe and is
being used in foreign lands as a derogatory expression with 92-clutlt
to uttderutiue Atuerictm prestige and ridicule our political institu-
tions. 'lhe international ituplttatiotts, therefore. oi "Mc lartltsistu"are o[ vital iutportance also itt the at-etta of international aliairs,
where the cortectttess or it1t'0rt'eetttess of American foreign policy
ts tested.hi addition, he submits that it is the duty of every Atneriean,
toticerned with the welfare of his country, to make up his tniud on
"l92ic I;trtltyist1t" without passion and {tee from prejudice. His deti
stou wltett tnade should be based upon knowledge of the facts and
the calm, objective judgment of reason.The writer. fully conscious o[ the fact that he is dealing with ahighly explosive political controversy, desires to stress that he is nota politician but one who takes his duties and responsibilities of
American citizenship seriously. In order, tlierelore, ttot to he guilty
of bias or partisanship he decided to nd out for himself what were
the facts; to seek out the truth and to he guided accorditigly. 92Viththis objective in mind, he sought to tleterntine for himself wltetltet"
Senator McCatthy's activities attd methods constitute :1 menace to
the United States, and in the broader sense to the cause of [reedont
and httmanity.He hopes that the case whiclt he presents in the followingpages, arrit-etl at after long and careful observation, will arouse your
interest and meet with your fair and objective consideration. He
will consider himself sulhciently rewarded for his eliorts if what he
has written will result in stimulating discussions among the readersof the pamphlet and others with whom they come in contact, dis-cussions in which the participants will not attempt to prejudice thecase before they have considered all the available facts, evidence
and arguments.

- questions raised in this pamphlet. antl now tinder dis-. I
- tby the /92t11e1'icaii people, are often presented in a manner
0 deliberately misrepresent the facts and confuse the people.
.nierican people will come to a decision on this question, as
er is ltopeful they will, by facing the issties stptarely, he feels
l[ that their final judgment on the matterfmotivated by a
patriotic idealisni--may well prevent the tlesttiittiii of our
ic by the forces of subversion within and the coiirentratioti
ntinist power against 'LlS from without, and thereby preserte
ericari way of lifea concept of freedom and hnni.in dignity
opposed to cotnmiinist despotism, and without which the
of civilization towards greater freedom and along tnoial
ritual grounds is impossible.ng a rrn believer in the precepts of freedoni embodied in
.-istitution and especially in its llill of Rights, the writer
fully your right to disagree with him. All he asks ol yon, the
is that you approach his views in the same liberal spirit. lf
, he will be content in the knowledge that what he has
oted towards the clarication of the issues itivtilvetl in "Me
sm" may, in sotne small way, be instruinental in helping the
in people solve a controversy that involves the st-tiirity and
if our great countrythe United States of America.THE BACKGROUND OF "McCARTHYlSM"
A casual pertisal of the daily press, the ll 'l92tllil!C5, space and
editorials devoted to condemning the activities ol Senator Itl§ '[!ll R.
McCai"tliy, the stream of derogatory statements against the St-n;ttor'stnetliotls, hiantletl as " McCarthyisiti," that ate the themes of coiiiitless
speeches, atttcles, resolutions. seritions and tleclarzitioiis, the anti-l92lc -arlliy seiitinient that is being slintulatecl abroad and is rapidlyspreatliiig atitl growilig, iiitlirates that what Senator l92fi .lart|iy isdoing and what he stands for is tictl in with the issues that coiirerti
the future of otir cotititry and the world.lt is interesting to note that all those arrayed against the Senator
are seldom violent in their tleiiunciation of cotitntitnist subversionbut they ate always most violent in their denuiicizition of those wlio
light communist subversion, especially the inethoils they employ.
The attack against Senator McCarthy as a personality and
against his methods increases in ferocity, and daily gains itioiiienttim
in the United States and aliioatl. ls this coiiterit-cl, violetitly bitter
attack justified? Is it based on partisan deinagogtiery or sound
reasoning? ls it motivated by genuine patriotic sentiiiieiits concertietl
with the welfare and security of the country? Ur is it the result of a
preinetlitated cantpaign on the part of subversive elements to destroy
Senator Mt Cartliy's effecth eiiess in lighting subversion by destroyinghis reputation as an intlivitlual? In the fllldl analysis is the canipaign
against 192lcCartliyisni bcnelitial or dangerous to the country?Surely, every American who considers himself or herself a loyaland patriotic .-92int-rican now agrees that Coiiiititiitism is a menace
to Aiiierica. Most of those who violently and most viciously attack
the Setizitor, tharge that his l92lF.'lllODS ol ftgliting Conitntinisttlare wrong, unconstitutional, violate basic democratic Aiiit-ricaii principles, cieate fear and mob hysteria, and do not harm but aid the

do not terrorize or prevent them from freely expressing themselvesand there exists no mob hysteria in the United States which deprites
them of their liberty to do so. When such criticism ol Senatorl92Icarthy is made in a country in which the socalled "liberals,"
leltisls. Marxists, give their ltill support to a "Hate America lampaign" initiated by the communists of England on orders ol the
Soviet Union, weas Americans-mttst. sit up and take notice. We
1ll'!'-l take notice especially il such criticism of McCarthy is lackitigut dignity and unjustied by facts and the truth. Fe must takeparticular notice il it gives aid and comfort to the Communist HateAmerica Carnpaign, the campaign's central theme being that "Mc-Llartltyisni" is proof that America is a fascist country bent on driving
tlte world into war.Adlai E. Stevenson, upon his arrival in London during his
world tour, rushed to tell the English press in his usual clowningvein, in words of clever sophistication and loaded with inticndos
that he, like the English, was opposed to Senator McCarthy and
his t1|[l92 ! _l5_ lly so doing he delighted the supporters of the HateAmerica Cam|1Ilign" in England. Again. on the occasion ol the_lefletson-jackson Day dinner in Philadelphia, Mr. Stevenson saidthat the Four Freedoms of Franklin D. Roosevelt have been replaced

AUTHOR'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
May I t't|ate in this tespett 3 petsnttal experieltte. Sottte ten
years ago Iliad reason to sttspetit tlte lnotives of a prominent tharity
organization. This organization, under the guise of assistittg in the
education of ttntlerprivilegetl youth, both in tlte United States and
abroad, exploited its training program to indoctrinate the youth
with communist propaganda.
I reported tlte facts, concerning tltis cotntnttnist indoctrination
in my possession, to tlte proper oflitial cltannels and authorities in
W'ashingtott. Alter going over the e92'itIent'e itt detail, they adtnitted
to tne that tlte case was itrtportant but "'I' J ! HUT FUR 'I'IlI"l92l
TO HANDLE."
When I suggested that I drop the entire matter, I was atlvisetl
that the charges I had made against the organization were too
serious to be dropped and that I should present the farts to higher
government authorities with power to deal with them. They put nte
in contact with these higher authorities and tttade an appointment
lor me to present my facts to them. I lid so intntediateiy and these
higher authorities accepted my thatges against the charity organiza-
tion as SERIOUS AND ]l92ll' !R'lAl92lT.
Years later. in I952, I was linttlly ittlortnetl that they, the higher
authorities to whom I had submitted the e92'ident'e "HAD SOMF;

Thtts England, in placing her faith in the policies of appease-
tnent and compromise, concludes that trade with the enetny is more
important than national honor, peace at any price with the cont
tnunists preferable to the defense of liberty. And what is ttne of
Ftttzland in this respect is mttrlt more true of France and the
Scattclinavian countries. The appeasement of communism has in all
the other countries of Western Europe, considerahle sttpport. It may
not he surprising, if this appeasement is pnrsut-d energetically and
to its logical conclusion, that the freedom loving people of
France and perhaps England too, will prefer to let the cotntnttnists
take over rather than risk another conict.
APPEASEMENT OR VICTORY?
The United States is today recttgttiletl as the leading world
power, the greatest and strongest nation in the world. At best, its
ties with its allies are extremely weak. lt has often been deserted hy
them on important international issues in tlte United Nations.
Western unity is, therefore, in a precarious tottdition. The ties
which hold the altti-conttttunist nations together may ltt't3.l at any
tntnnent. The lack of statnitta and tnotztl courage in the latte of tlt

could see no relation liettveett the Russian and Chinese Reds antl

Ihinese Nationalists lotvn the river. The policy we pursued in
[Ihina played right into the hands of Moscow. It was fashioned, as
we now know, hy advisors to the State Department who favored
Moscow and the Chinese Reds. Instead ol supporting our ally in
the liar East, Ihiang Kai-Sltelz, American policy tried to force him
to unite with the cotntnttnists. 92'Ve did everything to undermine his
prestige in China and his power to resist the encroachment of the
Reds hy creating in the minds of the Anteriezttt people the he-lief

we had dealt with cotntntiriisrti resolutely in the past when it was
weak. and in addition had spent a fraction of the enortnous
expenditures required now to uiaintain our security, in promoting
goodwill and a better nnclerstantling among the peoples of the
t92t1|'ltl, we would not now he suspetitled over a powder l92 _LI needing
!t.92l .1 spark to send us all to niass destruction.
If our Fellow Travelers and ltnntnunist sympathiiers do lint
like the Atuerican way of life, let them go to the Russian jungle of
tyi";uiny, hate and cruelty, where all this started, rather than plot
to luring the jungle to Anierica. If they tlo, they will soon wish to
tettnn to our own land of liherty, to defend it instead of plotting its
destruction.
Decisive in the present historical moment for America and for
the entire world is what America will or will not do. The hour of
decision is ours. Upon the clecision which we make hangs the
destiny of mankind. And the decision which the United Stan.--.
tnaltes will depend upon the faith of the American people in /92tneric;92|t
tit-ilizatitm and their untlauntetl will to stand guard over its great
traditions and ideals. Our foi'el'atlters through sacrices and toil
fearlessly tackled the dangers and hardships of a wilderness to
fashion a new Civilizatitnt based upon human brotherhood and
equality, in which tnan found ample reward for his lahor, freedom
to worship in the religion of his choice and a place to make a home
for himself and his progeny under conditions of freedom ttlttlrt:at1|etl
of before. Thus did our forefathers hlaze a new path for the worltl
by opening up new horizons for man and raising the lofty ideals
which influenced the cause of liberty allover the world. l'he ideals
that made America great, which constitute the foundation stones of
our Republic, are dynamic, living ideals of treinendous force in
our crisis ridden world.
We must never forget that the United States is a hastion of
freedom for the entire world, and that the communists from within
and without are mobilizing for a concerted attack upon this bastion.
There is only one thing left that can save us if we have the
faith and the will to make it come to pass. Let us come out of the
Russian-made jungle and return to that way of life our forefathers
once made the most powerful force in the worlda civilization that
has often conquered evil in the past and has always led inankind
toward the liglitthe light of life, liberty and the pttrsuit of
happiness.
Let us return to the ideals that became the rst foundation
stone of that civilizatioti and upon which our American Republic
is founded. Let us require of ail who enjoy the blessings of that
iggiRepublic, an undying loyalty to it. Let us lmltlly ]i!t|t lziitu this faith.

a situation which iiiust distress eveiy American who has the love
ti his country iti his heart.
]. I5. Matthews, an ltotioi-able American, a former Protestant
c rrgyinan and missionary, and formerly a valued atitl competent
s tff investigator of the Cointnittee of which Senator McCarthy is
tairtiian, has been publicly attattketl in the press aiitl ptilpit Iiecause
i had tlte cotiragc to say, in an article written for the Antcritari
P ercury" magatine, that the largest single group supporting the
imtnunists in the United States totlay, is coiiiptisetl of Protestant
t" ergynieu. I aut sure yoit are aware of the fact that Mr. Mattlicws
i is tltereafter coiupellecl to resign his position with the Zoiiuiiittce
l reasoti of these attacks.
The statement referred to aliove, was iniiiietliately seized tipoti
l - C.oninitmist syntpatliizers, fellow travelers, the liheral leftist
] ess, left wing politicians and cotilttsetl ttietiihers of tlte Christian
; id jewish clergy as justification for violent stttear attacks, not only
a ;ainst Mr. Matthews, but also against Senator l92IcCarihy autl his
onnriittee. It also served as the Iiasis for strenuotis criticism of the
t itire campaign which Senator l92-IcCat'l|iy ltas been waging to expose
I e most sinister conspiracy iti oitr history. to destroy front within,
t ir American tleiitocracy and way of lile.
Some of this criticism was to he expected, considering its source,
I it what was not expected liy those seeking to guard our freedoms,
i "ts the misleading telegram sent to the Presideiit of the United
E ates it-t the name of the National Conference of Christians and
-ws, by three prominent ministers of the Protestant, Catholic and
wish faiths, protesting that Mr. Matthews, and by implication.
. iiator McCarthy, who supported hint, had indicted the loyalty of
I e entire Protestant faith and that such a charge was urijustietl
: id deplorable.
This telegram, which brought the incident into nation wide
| iblicity, forced the President to COIKICIIIII Mr. Matthews statement
id resulted in the ]atter's resignation without a hearing, from the
mgg loniiiiittee. It gave the lleiitocriitic iiieitibers of the flotiitiiiitt-t= ztii
oppoituiiity to make political titpital otit of the silttzitioii; ittitl liy
their refusal to attend any more of the Cotiitiiittee's sessions, to
tlestrtiy its prestige itt the hopes of iiiipaiting its ftttitre tisefiiliiess.
This is ttitih rule antl "jolt hurtling at its worst," for none of
the t ritics of Mr. Mattltews toitl the whole truth of the tttatten They
Itu'got to nit-tition that in this article Mr. Matthews had also said
that the "92.tst tiiaiority of .'92!'l1tt'I ."lIl Irotestatit clergytnett are loyal
to their stilettiii trust as tttitiisters of the gospel" or that the 7,llfIl'l
ttiintsters he tlicl accuse represetited apprtixiniately of the lliflilflfl

of physical and mental anguish but in the end I pulled the tnask
from this "great /92merican's" face anti exposed him for what he was,
one of the founders and fathers of the Communist movement in
America and one who was plotting the overthrow of the very
American institutions he was pretending to uphold.
The smears and misrepresentations and false accusations which
I suffered are only a small fraction of the abuse that Senator Mt"-
Cartlty and his Committee are daily confronted with.
It is my sincere belief that if Senator McCarthy and his Coin-
-mittee are permitted to exercise their legislative duties in ettposing
and inquiring into every expressed disloyalty, no matter where it
leads or wltnm it strikes, the Senator will one day receive the lasting
gratitude of the American people for having saved our Country
from the deplorable fate that has overtaken the strong and demo-
cratic Government of England and the once beautiful French
Republic, where orderly democratic processes have been replaced
by factional Socialist and Imnmunistic groups, each striving to seize
the dictatorial powers. thereby creating revolutionary trends and
destroying the freedoms and liberties of their people. THIS MUST
92' >'l' HAPPEN IN AMFRICA.

With reference to the attached letter to Se_natJo_rMcCar_t_hy,t0 be I
delivered by Cour- r Servige dated March 17, 1954, Miss Candy asked me about
getting this out ound 7:30 P. M, McCarthy is in Chicago. The initial report
ad stated on March 4 that McCarthy would be dead within
e etters from the field also reflected that -had been arrested
uu 1u.a.uy occasions for drunkenness and fighting. He was characterized by the
Columbus, Indiana, Police as a "crackpot. " He made a call to Puerto Rico and
one to one of the Puerto Ricans in the D. C. jail on March 4, after which his
wife advised the telephone company that he had been intoxicated. I, therefore,
can see that no purpose could be served hy sending the letter out tonight inasmuch
as McCarthys office would be closed. This did not seem of sufficient import to
call McCarthy out of the St. Patrick's Day banquet in Chicago. I accordingly
called Frank Carr, McCarthy's staff director, and furnished him with the
substance of the letter. I-le stated that h ld advise the Senator when he/
was that
4 days .
A --o--. ----
was next in touch with him.
I have handed the originals to Mr. Boardman so that he might look
into this handling as it 92.-would appear that even thoughgwas drunk, perhaps
we should have interviewed him with reference to his attempted ca].1 to Puerto
Rico and his attempted call to one of the Puerto Ricans in the D. C. jail, I see
no purpose in sending the attached letter now,

investigator in question was Samuel Klaus and that the report of Klaus

MACHAEVELLI AND%hgEfFhE. G3, R-} .';
During the 15th. Uentury an Italian named Niccolo Machaevelli
wrote a book called The Prince which advocates the unscrupulous
Principle of deceitful double-dealing which justifies the Means to
an End! The Jesuits have used The Prince as their handbook and
guide ever since its publication. Later, during the 19th. Century
marx and Engels also advocated £achaevelli's unprincipled Doctrines.
In the 20th, Century Lenin, hitler,Musso1ini, Laval,retain, Franco
and Stalin were also his Disciples! Today, it is quite clear that
the publicity seeking senator hcoerthy has also enthusiastically
embraced that Italian's malvolent principles.
The question now arises, is Senator McCarthy a Communist, or is
he in reality a member of the Fascistic Italian Church? Also, is he
ignorant of the fact that the Communists and the Jesuits both employ
the very Same nechaevellian methods to attain their Ends. If Senator
4cCarthy is not a Communist, why then does he use their undermining
methods! Upon the other hand, if he is really the Roman Catholic that
he professes to be, there can be no possibility of a doubt, that he
, ,,/has been well trained by the Jesuits - L9'h:/
Dear Ar. Hoover: -I, just as 1ot1c American would back
Mc°arthp's hunt for Communi s,if he was really sincere in the matter.
However, his only aim is to create dissention in our Government} Also, there
are a great many more fascists than Communists in America, and yet he has
not apprehended " of them thus far 1-WHY? Perhaps that you know the
T"92 .u ; 4 1 '92_ IOn 4.4
reason. But I have my suspicions that m¢Carthy himself is a Eascist,or
else he would bring them before IS uiotatoriai committee;

HYLRUC-EN E01-.B DEVELOBPIENT HA1 BLEN DELAYED EIGHTEEN .~.o1»1TasSUBJECT :
Reference is made to television appearances on CBS of Senator
Joseph McCarthy on the evening of April 6, l9Sh, during which time
the Senator answered certain charges made against him by CBS eommen-
McCarthy stated that the development of the hydrogen bomb had been
delayed for eighteen months and implied that this was the result
of Comunists in the Government.Jytator, Edward R. Murrow. At one point in the broadcast, Senator
You will recall that by letter of December 23, 1953, from
the Atomic Energy Commission to Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the ALC
made certain charges against Oppenheimer upon which they based the
ratification of his clearance. These charges are the bases for an
AEC hearing which beg;ns on April 12. The last charge in the ALC
letter was that Oppenheimer in l9h5, expressed the hydrogen bomb
was not feasible. The letter further charged that in the Autumn y»
subsequently, Oppenheimer strongly opposed the _
development of the hydrogen bomb, and that even after it was decided
to proceed with the development, Oppenheimer continuedly opposed the
project and declined to cooperate fully in it and that he was
instrumental in persuading outstandinr scientists not to work on
the hydrogen bomb project. As result oi these actions, the ABC
charge "definitely slowed down its development."
There is, of cource, the possibility that Senator McCarthy
is aware of the ABC charge against Oppenheimer in this regard. lt
is interesting to note that members of Congress and other high
Government officials have publicly denied the statement

Mr. Hoover, .
Jiam an American who is interested in America and
J would appreciate it very much if you will answer a few
questions for me.
l. Has McCarthy uncovered any communists the F,5,J,
did not know before-hand?
2. If so, how many?
3. Do you think McCarthy is doing a fine job?
4. ls it true the statements below are the usual
communist "lines" or statements derived from
Communism, used to criticise McCarthy?
A! "on, McCarthy is alright, £13 I don't like
his tactics."
B! "He hasn't uncovered any communists the F,B,I
didn't already know about."
C! "He's to "brutal" toward his subjects."
Personally, I think there should be more men like
McCarthy. Hbweuer, J have many friends who think dijjerently,
and if I am right I would like to have some proof to back my
statements uith;your letter.
Wu,
I

To The 91+ Senators of the United B1-ates:
Copies to: Hon. Dwight D. Eisenhower, President
: Hon. Richard Nixon, Vice President: Hon. Herbert Brownell, Attorney General /7/ /: Mr. J.Ed.gar Hoover, Director of the F.B.I.
This is a frightful thing the snide Jr. Senator from Wigponsin

this ruthless, lusting - for power man is as much - if
more - AND CERTAINIX AS I}1MIE'DIA'I'E, a menace to our country, its
freedom and its security as is Ccmnunism. '
. McCarthy is HOT n p::.rtisa.n issue. Every loyal American citizen,
whether Democrat or Republican, should want to rid the Senate
oi such n mnn. He is c disgrace to the prestige of the natim,
to the dignity of the Senate and to the fine citizens of Wiscon-
sin.
There are obviously those in Wisconsin who uphold him and those
in the Senate as witness thc vote of the Senators Mundt, Dirkson,
; and Dworshak in the disgraceful smear of Ambassador Bohlen
' - which can only be interpreted as a vote of confidence for
McCarthy and against the Judgement of the late respected Senator
Taft who found tho smear charges groundless.! Let those yho A, , _uphold him, have him. RESORDED _ 1 ;
