had told me, and they were very
excited about it.
SENATOR Where was
he situated when that development
came?
MISS BENTLEY-I don't know
how to describe where he was sit
uated.
Yes, in the White House.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Was he
in the White House, or somewhere
else?
MISS BENTLEY - Yes, in the
White House.
SENATOR WHERRY-May I ask
this, please: Why would that per-
son working in the White House be
interested in giving you that in
formation? Was he Communist?
MISS BENTLEY-No, he wasn't,
at least at that time, party mem
Der. And as a matter of fact. I
discussed this whole matter with the
contact I had. And We were puz-
zled. We couldn't figure out exactly
what his motives were.
X X X
Well, as far as an outsider or nom
Communist is concerned, can't
tell you how he felt. But as far as
the Communists are concerned, they
felt very strongly that we were allies
with Russia, that Russia was bear
ing the brunt of the war, that she
must have every, assistance, be-
cause the people from within the
Government, from what they had
been able to dig up, had thought
that we we're not giving her things
that we should give her, things
that we we're giving to Britain and
not to her. And they felt, I be-
lieve, the same way the people in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-08-01

the Canadian espionage case felt:
that it was their duty, actually, to
get this stuff to Russia. Because
she was hard pressed and weaken
ing, and someone must help her.
SENATOR HOEY-Miss Bentley,
did you have contact with people
outside of Washington, who would
come here and meet you at different
times?
MISS BENTLEY-No. The people
I met in Washington were people
who worked in Washington.
Names North Carolinian.
SENATOR HOEY-Do you recall
meeting anybody from North Car
DINA in that connection?
MISS BENTLEY-Yes, I do, Sen
ator.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Senator
do you want to put the name in the
record?
SENATOR, HOEY-Yes.
MISS BENTLEY-Mary Watkins
Price.
SENATOR HOEY-At that time
was she a member OF the Com
munist Party?
MISS BENTLEY was intro
duced to her as such, yes.
SENATOR HOEY-Did she fur
nish you any information?
MISS BENTLEY-Yes.
SENATOR HOEY-What was the
character of the information that
she furnished you?
MISS Observation-Disclosures In
formation she was able to get from
her boss files.
SENATOR HOEY-Where was
she working at that time?
MISS BENTLEY-She was secre-
tary to Walter Lippman.
SENATOR HOEY-Do you know
whether Mr.. Lippman knew any
thing about her Communist connec-
ions?
MISS BENTLEY-Oh. I wouldn't
think so. He probably wouldn't
have kept her.
SENATOR HOEY-Do you know
what organization she is with right
now?
MISS BENTLEY-I believe-No, I
am not quite sure about that.
SENATOR HOEY-You did not
know that she was In charge OF
Wallace's party in North Carolina?
She Is now the head Of the Wallace
party in North Carolina.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Now. I
ask you your source in WPB. Did
YOU have a source?
MISS BENTLEY-I had several.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Did you

MISS BENTLEY Yes, I did.

you ever collect any money from

which was q travel agency, and I
understand quite large one, and
quite a financially good one. whose
main objective was sending tourists
and individuals to Russia.
Then as the war came on, and
travel was sort, of cut down, they
went into the business of sending
individual packages to individuals
in Russia, and they had that con-
cession from an agency of En- Tour
lists, which is like our Department
of Commerce; I can't think of the
exact name in Russia for 1t, but
they were the ones who handled
passengers and freight going into
Russia, and they had a branch in
New York from which World Tour
lists had a concession.

Golos was indicted for failing to

or agent of a foreign

know what happened to that case?
MISS BENTLEY-He was given
e suspended sentence.
SENATOR FERGUSON An d
what kind of information was this,
that they were gathering from Com
munist members and sympathizers
OF the Communist Party?
MISS BENTLEY-It was all types
of information.
SENATOR FERGUSON - When
did you first get that assignment to
contact Communists or Communist
sympathizers in the Federal Gov
eminent?
MISS BENTLEY-In July of l941.
SENATOR FERGUSON - Would
you contact these agents in New
York or would you contact these
people somewhere else?
MISS BENTLEY-The majority
of them were contacted in Wash
ington, some of them in New York,
and some that were in Washing
ton I contacted when they came to

brought them literature. They were
dues paying Communists, yes.
SENATOR FERGUSON - When
you collected the dues. what did
you do with the money?
MISS BENTLEY-At least during
Golos's lifetime, 1 gave it to him.
He took it down to party head
quarters, and brought me back re-
ceipts for each.
SENATOR FERGUSON - Now,
after Mr.. Golos died, what did you
do for this information that you
obtained and the money?
MISS BENTLEY-The money I
took down to Mr.. Earl Browder, and
got receipts from him.
Other Units Working.
SENATOR FERGUSON - Now,
there were some other units that
were collecting information from
other people, that you never con-
tacted.
MISS BENTLEY-That is cor
rect.
SENATOR FERGUSON - And
some of that volume was so great
that is was microfllmed. Is that
correct?
MISS BENTLEY-Yes, that is
correct.
SENATOR FERGUSON - And
do you know how many people
delivered through that source TO
you?
MISS BENTLEY-Oh, there must
have been at least a good 20 or
30 more.
SENATOR FERGUSON - Twen-
tv or thirty more. That would make
around so people?
MISS BENTLEY-Roughly. l
would have to sit down and count.
SENATOR FERGUSON - In
Washington. Do you. know de-
partment that was vital in our war
effort that you did not collect ma
terial from?
MISS BENTELY-Yes. The Navy.
SENATOR FERGUSON - The
Navy. Can you account LOT why
you did not get it from the Navy?
MISS BENTLEY No. was
wrong in saying we didn't. We did
get a bit of Navy information that
trickled through the OSS and
trickled through the Treasury. But
practically speaking, it was not very
much.
SENATOR FERGUSON-In other
words. the Navy had the best sys-
tenn to keep you from getting in
formation.
FBI Kept Its Secrets.
MISS BENTELY-No. The best
one was the FBI. We got practically
nothing out of them.
SENATOR FERGUSON-You got

New York or in Washington, it just
depended.
| SENATOR FERGUSON-Will you
explain the whole thing and give
us the names of the departments,
but not the names of the parties who
delivered the information?
MISS BENTLEY-We were get
ting information from the Army
particularly the Air Corps; from the
Treasury, from the State Depart
ment, from the OSS, from the CIAA
the Rockefeller Committee, and from
the Owl.
SENATOR FERGUSON From
the Treasury?
MISS BENTLEY-Didn't I name
! the Treasury?
| SENATOR FERGUSON-The War
Production Board?
MISS BENTLEY-Yes, from the
War Production Board and from
the War Manpower Commission
and l think that that about covers
it, Senator.
Included Military Data.
SENATOR FERGUSON - Now
will you describe the kind of in
formation that you were getting
out of these departments?
MISS BENTLEY - The informa-
ton ranged all of the way from
what we call political information
Senator, to military information;
it started out modestly by being
political and as time went on we
started taking on military, too.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Will you
tell us the difference between politi-
cal and military information that
you would collect?
MISS BENTLEY-Well, political
information would be information
on personalities in the government
and their attitudes toward Russia,
or gossip on internal politics of the
United States Government; any
information strictly speaking that
didn't have to do with actual war
materials.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Did you
have an understanding that there
was connected in government peo-
pie who were placing people in
strategic doings in government so
that you could get information?
MISS BENTLEY-Oh, yes; Mr.
Golos told me that if we found Com
munists in what he would say were
inactive agencies, where there wasn't
much information, to see what could
be done about pulling strings ano
moving them into more strategic
location.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Was that
done from time to time?
MISS BENTLEY-Yes; it was.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Was it
your understanding that there was
a person in the Executive Office?
MISS BENTLEY-Yes.
SENATOR FERGUSON-That ac-
tually helped to get these people
into these strategic points?
MISS BENTLEY-Weh, don't
know how many, but at least one,
yes.
Came From Treasury.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Now you
said that there was some depart
ment that was able to collect in
formation that did not originate
there. What department was that?
MISS BENTLEY-The Treasury
| SENATOR FERGUSON - How
much volume did you get out of the
Treasury Department?
MISS BENTLEY-That varied
Senator, from time to time. AT
one time when there were quite a
few people in the Treasury it bulked
quite large; but some of the people
shifted elsewhere and then it wasn't
quite so voluminous.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Did il
ever get so voluminous that you had
to have it microfilmed in Wash
ington?

Had you an agent in the Justice De-
Pertinent?
MISS BENTELY-Yes, but not in
that section.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Not in
the FBI. But you did have one
actually in the Justice Department?
MISS BENTELY-YeS, We did.
SENATOR FERGUSON-Now we

tanning this information by, and the
agencies you were obtaining it from,
and what you were doing with 1t.
What is the last day you can re-

information from these sources
in Washington?

of December, 1914.

help eliminate storage and cord
winding, facilitate cleaning under
low furniture, eliminate manual ad-

carry the vacuum cleaner so that
weight is properly balanced.
If you live in an apartment and
have limited storage space, this
cleaner would be ideal. The handle
can be lowered to a position which
brings it into a line parallel to the
bottom casting. In such position
it can be hung on closet wall,
taking up no floor space. The hori-
zontal motor has two suction-pro-
ducing fans, one on each end of the
shaft. This makes it possible to get

as the motor housing Is only S
