teens cue tae oe $922 whitewash job Senator Tydings did. Of courge. Mr. President, if Senator Tydines wlid not do a whitewash job, then I ated him very unfairly, and then I stiBuld not have heiped to let the pecpte kfow what a whitewash jon he did do. On the other hand, if Tydings did a whitewash job and if I did not expore that to the people of Maryland, IT wou'td be almost as suilty as Tydings. Of course one spy in the Government service is too many. In a case of this sort, when the chairman of the com- mittce ts told, “Here is a man who is a Communist spy, and here are the wit- nesses. Flease cat] them,” then when the c':iirman of the committee savs, “Oh. ro: I won't.” it is rather dificult for me to understand why my friend: cytie’ ao me far exposing Mr. Trdinss. In fo".

Teco the attention of the Senator from Svuth Dakota to the workings and ret minutes of the Loyalty Board, under Seth Richard- son, which met in April 1950, The Sen- ator will sce in the minutes that present at that time were Georze W.

Shat- tuck. Andrew Steers. Eliot Wadsworth, Leonard BD, White, and Chairman Rich- ardson was presidinz. In fairness to those who were present, I should say that some of them, as the Scnator from Scuth Dakota will note, made a strong i. ete arcument to the effect that they should. investigate thase individuals compleiely and thorouchly, regardiess of whether the matters involved dealt with loyalty, security, or anything else which would make suth persons unfit to serve. The Senator will also ncte that they then contacted the President and asked him whether they*should make the examina- tion, and received word to the effect that “they should not, but should check only on overt acts of disloyaliy—which re- faulted in clearance of every one of those persons, because they couid not find them u¢htiane a fuze to an H-bomb. Mr. President, I belicve I have covy-= ered all the causes now, except one, name. : ly, the case of Philip C. Jessup. First. iet me say that if the Senator from South Cakaia would care to see what hus heeopened tou numberof ihe CONGRESSIONAL RECORD—SENATIEU year, I shall be giad to Jet him examine the information wiich has come from the Review Board. I wish he would not give the names of any of the persons who have been cleared, however, Mr. President, I hold in my hand the testimony of Jessup in the Hiss case. Jessup was unable to be present at the trial; he was out of the country. <Ac- cordingly, he made out afidayits. It is not too dificult to understand how someone might have testified in favor of Hiss at the first trial. However, after ail the evidence was brought to the at- tention of the public, so that men hivh in the Government service certainly knew that Hiss was a Communist spy, il is rather difficult then to understand how they would come to the defense of Hiss, Here is the testimony cf Jessup dur- Ine Hiss’ second trial: Qucslon, Mr. Jessup. do you Kacw reputetion of Alger Hiss for loyaity, tesrity, and veracity? An Yes: I do, Que tion. What is that reputation? What ao you think of it? Answer, Qutstanding, the in- Thetis aniy aminor pert of his resard, The-Lead .oiithe FLL ducing his testi- mony netore one of the commitreus, was asked wheiher it was significant that an incividual belonged to a Communist- front organization, He pointed out that ib might ey might mob be. He pointed out thet many flue jntividuak were duped into joining Commumnict-irent organizations, Of course, that was the aim of the Communist party, tu try to get some good; Toya; Americans on their lists, so they could use them to deceive people. But, es he said, “If you find that_a man belongs to Tour, five, or six of these orggnizstions, wha. have besn ramed as fronts doing the work of the Communist Party, they are either so naive that they ase dangerous to this Nation in a high Government jub, or you can be sure that they are isyal to the Communist Party.” That is not a verbatim quote, bui as best I can re- member it. One of ithe other men who was testify- ing Was asked the same question, and he said this: ‘Well, Jet us put it this way. If you find that a man belongs to the Lutheran Young Men's Society, you can assume that he is most likely loyal to the principles of the Lutheran Church. If you find that he belonyvs to the Holy Name Society, you can assume thuv per- haps he is 2 Catholic; and,” he said. “if you find that he beluis to orpanizations which are fronts fur the Cummunist Party, then you can assume that he is eithur a Communist or that he cestainly is loyal to the Coramunist Party.” Mr. Jessup, our Ambassador at Large, was affiliated with not one, not two, not threc, not four, byt with five oreaniza- ticns oficlaily named as fronts for and doing the work of the Communisi party. Here are photostats of odicial letterneads which show his affiliations, That is not all Mr, Jessup exccvised editcrial contro] of the publication “Far ast Survey,’ a puLication of the Insti- Tule auf Pooige rho ous. wieeh he ueomn . ay AvuGusT ¢ Communist front. While he had th: ediiorial control, and while that pubi-. caticn was folowing the Camumunist lin: down to the last period, who do you thi: Was supporting it? When Frederiz: Fieid, a man wlio proclaims himself < be one of America's leading Commur.. was on the stanc last year, he was asi; whether he had contributed to Jessup - pubhcation. Hic answer was, "I refiu-- to answer, on the ground that it misi. incriminate me.” With some difSeuliy we dug up the checks covering Commu nist money—believe it or not—over short period of time, totaiinz $6.6 used for the purpose of supperting th Communist-front publication run by cr ambassador at large, a publication whica. according to sworn testimony, employer many Communist writers. When th: evidence was brourht to the attention « the Traings tre State D«- partment hadisa a press confere Which it did, av which they said, “No. . here is another example of this na-1: teCarthyism,.” They said, ‘Just beeau:. pocr Mr. Jessup took some Commun.:: moncy, McCartuy is trying to indie:t, that that is why he followed the Com Inunist line in his publication”’--the.: theory being, apparently, that Mr. Jessu> Was $0 naive that he did not know wh: the Communists were paying him arn: were supporting that pubH¢ation, 471, can be certain that if Mr. Jessup was tha: naive, the Communists were not - nave.
