Evening star., 1948-08-29
Why Hearing Was
| Deferred Till july

The committee would like to make
it emphatically clear why we under
took public hearings on espionage
activities within the Government at
this time. In February of 1947, the
committees investigations deter
mined that certain Government en-
ployeS had engaged in espionage
activities. We knew that certain
divisions OF the Government were
under rigid surveillance by the FBI.
The committee later became aware
of the fact that secret blue ribbon
grand jury had been convened in
New York City to consider this Gov
ernment espionage. In difference to
the functions of the grand, jury, and
OF the investigative and prosecusng
agencies of the executive branch of
the Government, the committee took
no action or pursued no investiga-
ton which would otherwise jeopar-
die or interfere with the prosecu-
ton of the persons involved. Sev-
eral hearings which the committee
had scheduled and was prepared to
hold were postponed because of the
grand Jury's investigation.
In July of 194S, however, when the
grand Jury recessed after sitting for
IA months without returning any
indictments. or issuing a no true
blll. or making any other disposition
concerning the persons involved in
this espionage activity, the commit
tee felt compelled to bring to the
attention OF the American people
the information that it had before it.
When We called Elizabeth T. Bent
ley before our committee on, July 81,
we were fully aware that her infor-
nation and allegations had been
thoroughly checked by the FBI, and
that they had been substantiated.
When the committee called before it
Whitaker Chambers we knew that
he had advised a high official of
the Government as early as 1899, of
the information that he knew
through f1rst-hand knowledge of the
operations of the Communist ap-
paratus within the Government
during the period 1884 through 1897.
Because of the fact that the Gov
ernment files are not available to
the committee, We could not deter
mine what official action had been
taken on the allegations of Cham
bers. We were in possession of no
information that his story had ever
been dlsproved or discredited. We
thought his testimony should be
brought out to show that this Com
munlst penetration in the Govern
ment began as early as 1884. and
that it eliminated in the actual
operation of the espionage rings as
described by Miss Bentley.
Evening star., 1948-08-29
Hiss and Chambers
Testimony Problem

One OF the most difficult problems
which has faced the committee has
been that Of resolving the conflict
between the testimony submitted bv
Whitaker Chambers and Alger Hiss.
Chambers testified on August 8 that
Hiss was member of Communist
underground group of Government
workers during the period 1934-7
when Chambers was serving as
Communist Party functionary in
Washington. On August 5 Hiss
categorically denied the charges of
Chambers that he was or ever had
been member of the Communist
Party, and furthermore denied ever
having known Chambers or having
laid eyes upon him" AS a result of
exhaustive investigation by the
committees staff and of hours of
executive session testimony from
Hiss, Chambers, and all others who
had any information concerning the
conflicting stories, Hiss finally adj
mitted on August II for the first
time that he actually had known
Chambers as George Crosley, during
the period in question.

but that Chambers from 1881 to
1888 was a paid functionary of the
Communist Party and that from
1884 to 1887 he operated as a men,

among Government workers in
Washington.

Party during that period is in itself
strong corroborative evidence for
Chambers story.

Chambers for period of at least
10 months during the period in ques-
ton and possibly longer. 1t is also
clear that Hiss knew Chambers
very well as indicated by his ad
mission that he sublet his furnished
apartment to him. that he met him
on various occasions for lunch, that
on at least one occasion he gave
him a ride to New York from Wash
ington, that for several days the |
Chambers family visited in the Hiss
home and that he loaned money to
Chambers, and that he gave him an
automobile.
