$920 CONGRESSIONAL KECORD—SENATE I used the names on the floor of the Seuute. Some members of the press also asked if their yewspapers could get the in- ‘formation I said, ‘Yes: if your euitor “will simpli} tell me that he wants to , use the names, he can have them,” I ‘received no calls from any editors. That should, I hope, lay at rest once >and for all the silly, asinine claim that : A Senator can expose currupuen or com- ch, » we lnanisin, somewhere other than on the Sena.e floor cr before a committee. Tf he went off the Sonate floor and exposed no one would hear about it except those within the rau.e of his voice. If are tO “ave @ iousecleaning, the _ beome from the Atlantic to the Pacific, aid from New Oricans to SL. Paul, should “have the information about these can- ferous characters. Tine next one is Daniel FP. Markoliss, ore of the top seeunity nich im the State Doworiument, Orvisginally the appeint- otnent of this man wan divayproved on the grouna that he was a bad lovaliy and security risk. He was hired any- Tie next mame is that of Nobert Wrr- ren Earnett. This is one of the men who was brought into the Siste Department on the reccmmencation of the Institute of Facific Melations. Edward Carter vestified ta that the other day. He has been active in ihe Institute for a@ number of vears. Tre letter of charses against the Bar- nelts—both Robert Warren Barnett and his wife, bivs. Rebert Warren Barnett, Charges them witn close association and comstant contact wilh known Soviet es- Pionaze activity. : The next is Sylvia Schimmel, an ad- munistrative analyst in the Dopartment of State. The letter of charges in her case is briefer, but substantially the same as that in the case of the Barnetts. The next is Philip Rainer, a rerional specialist in the Department of State, He is tied up, im the letter of charges, very closely with Robert T. Miller, who has been identified under oath several times a8 a Russian espionage agent, he next is Gertrude Cameron, infor- mation and editorial specialist in the De- partment of State. I recommend this case especially to the McCarran com- Tiittee. The next is Paul A. Lifantic#-Lee, an economist in the Department of Strate. He was born in Russia. His file in the Navy Department, which was trans- mitied to the State Department, shows that he took secret State Department documents, which were found in his room and picked up by naval intelli- genee, Yhatis shown by the naval in- tellgence report: The next name in Franz Leopold Neu- mann, a consultant in the Department of Brate. The next is John Tipton Fishburn, jJabor economist in the Department of State. The next is Vietor Myron Hunt, in the Cflice of Educational Exchange, De- partment of State. The next is Arpad Erdos. He is an Informatcn speciahs. in the Depart- menvof St.de. For scnec dine bids mun was With the Voice of America, but he was promoted, and now has a higher- paid jok, The next is an editor-writer by the name of Frances M, Tuchscher. The next is Nelson Chipchin, a radio information specialist. This is another case that I recommend especially to the McCarran committee. The next is Esther Less, also known 45 Esther Less Kopclewich, an announcer in the Department of State. The next is Esther Caukin Brunauer, United States representative to the Pre- paratory Commission of UNESCO, De- partment of State. The next is John Patton Davies. In- cidentally, since I wrote the State De- partment, Davies has been cleared, de- spite the vast amount of infermation on his communistic activities. I under- stand he is being promoted and sent to Bevin te act as adviser to McCioy. One final phase, the prize of them al, atainst whom charges are now bending, is Philip C. Jessup. The history of this man Jessup is so unusual that I assume some day we shall leok back and say: “No: it is impossible. ne Statue De- partment certainly would not have given this man the top job that he had over in Paris, negotiating with the Rus- sians even as Hiss in a Jess important eapacity did the nesotiating at Yalta.” I am not going to take much 71 the Senute’s time on this case. Io wish ricAy to go throush some of the mnte- rial Lhave in my hand. Testin.eny was Riven by Jessup on two different occe- sions, the oceasiun of the first trial of Aleer Hiss. and the second trial. Mr, MUNDT. My. President, wil the Senator, yield? Mr. McCARTHY. I yield. Mr. MUNDT. I notice on the list read by the Senator the name of Esther Caukin Brunauer. It seems to me that I recall reading in the newspeper that she had been removed, along with her huskhund, from Government emyploy- ment. Am I correct in my recolicction? Mr. McCARTHY,. I understand that two of the individuals were suspended. They are Brunauer and Val R. Lorwin, the economist in the State Department, The information is to the effect that they are still on the payroll of the State Department, pending inquiry. Mrs, Prunauer’s husband, Stephen Brunauer, was employed in the Navy Department as head of the High Explosives Section, He wus named before the Tydings ecm- mittee Jast year. The Senator will re- member that I asked the Tydincs com- mittee to go into executive session and take up his case. They refused to do so, They said, ‘No, Brunaucr has been cleared by the Loyaliy Board, and we will not let you smear him.” Former &ecretary Matthews did a pretty good job in the case. He took ail the cvidence against Brunauer and sus- pended Brunauer. Brunauer would not wait until his ease had been decided, out resigned, I may say, Mr. President, that Brunauer was a very close friend of Nool Field, who, since the Tydinzs heariu: of last year, has disappearcad behind te iron cursain. How amuny of Eso. 8 ve rae AUGUST ° he has taken with him behind the ive: curtain, I do not know. lam giving the Senate a list of 26 mames. Of t.:: 2¢ I understanding two have been su”- pended, but the State Department w.. nether admit nor deny it. My letter June 22 gave the S.ate Department . list of 29 names. Of the 2@, 2 have re- signed, and they are no longer with t: State Department. The third indivic ual, who holas an important position i: the point 4 program, has been ciearec Today Iam not giving the names of az.: of the individuals who have been cleared Twenty-eight of the one hundred ap five have been cleared.
