2066 Mr. WITHERS. I want to ask the Senator this question: If I understand the Senator, he would not give the names to the President, unless the President Would use them. Now, 1 asked the Sena- tor for the names. The Senator said he Would give me the names. I told the Senator I wanted to use them, and he would not give them to me. begause I was Boing to use them. In other words, the Senator refused to give them te the Presi- dent, because he would not use them, and he refused to give them to me, be- cause LT intended to use them. Does the Senator find himself in an inconsistent attitude in that respect? Mr. McCARTHY. I wonder whether we have understood each other. I told the Senator if he came to my office to- morrow morning he could have all the Hames. As 1 understand the Senator— and I may have been mistaken—he said he would make them public. Mr, WITHERS. Yes, that is usin them. Mr. MCCARTHY. That 1s using them. Mr. Mr. McCARTHY. Then the Senator from Kentucky is correct; the Senator from Wisconsin will not gives him the mames in the morning. Toc. - we. We were on Case No. 38. This individual is employed in a Very ae CONGhn SSIONAL RECORD—SENATE retary hes about 12 hours more or less, in fact, about 18 hours, before sundown. He can show his good faith by discharg- ing thisman. He should have no trouble whatever finding him.

The Secretary, In case he has not acquainted himself with the McCarran bill, will note tha he has the g@bsolute right to terminate this man's Services tomorrow. I should like ta hope that we would get word from the Secretary to the effect that he had done so. Case No. 39.

I believe I have read this, in regard to his activities as a newspaper reporter. At the time he organized a strike and Picket line, he had repeated conferences with a well-known New York Communis whose name is, of course, in the Stat Department's report.

The man is still in that very important position. This seems to be one of the most dan@eroUs cases we have.

There is no information that indicates anything other than close Com- munist connections. Despite this fact, this Man was never fired, but finally is that of an individual who Is a research analyst in the Division f Research for the Far East. He was ecommended for the position by an in- ividual who was listed by the FBI as a rincipalin a Soviet espionage case. The record Mmdicates he is running very closely with a pack of Communists. This again is the old pattern—one Commu- nist gets into a department, and he rec- ommends another.
