cluded documents he had received
from other sources. He did not
say specifically whether any Of 1t
had come from Mr.. Wadleigh.
Qualities Statement.
did Mr.. Wadleigh ever hand
you paraphrased or handwritten
copies?" Mr.. Murphy asked.
II recall no instances" Mr..
Chambers said.
Then, who was the only man
who ever gave you handwritten
copies Of Government documents?"
the prosecutor continued.
"Mr. Hiss was the only man."
Mr.. Chambers declared, :"but I
must qualify that a little bit. I
think I also received some hand
written memos from one other
source from time to time"
The witness testified that he
last saw Mr.. Wadleigh in Febru-
ary or March, 1898. That was
shortly before Mr.. Wadleigh went
to Turkey on an official inspec-
ton trip for the State Depart
ment. he recalled. =.
Shifts Line of Questioning.
Changing his line of question
ing, Mr.. Murphy asked Mr..
Chambers to tell about the type
writer he said he owned from
about 1880 to 1910. Mr.. Chambers
said this was a Remington
portable. which had belonged to
an underground Communist ap-
paratus. He repeated his testi-
mony of last week that he had de-
liberately gotten rid of 1t by
leaving it on a streetcar or sub
way here.
"Why?" Mr.. Murphy asked.
II was tired of being reminded
OF the past" Mr.. Chambers ex-
planned. in an apparent reference
to his earlier statement that he
had broken with the Communist
Party in 1898.
Lloyd Paul Stryker, counsel for
Mr.. Hiss, exchanged a quick
glance with DR.. Carl Binger, q
psychiatrist who since last Thurs
day has been seated near the de-
fense counsel table and has made
numerous notes as he watched
Mr.. Chambers on the stand.
Denies Being in Institution.
The Government prosecutor, in
his redirect examination that be-
gan late yesterday at the COM
pletion of cross-examination by
Mr.. Stryker, opened today's ses-
sion by asking Mr.. Chambers if
he had ever been in a mental hos
pital or been examined or treated
by a psychiatrist.
Mr.. Chambers said he never had
been. He denied specifically that
he ever had been in any institu-
ton, rest home or similar place in
Virginia in 1899, 1943. or 1916.
Mr.. Murphy also asked the wit
ness to describe in greater detail
his previous testimony that he
visited the then Assistant Secre-
tary of State, Adolf Berle, in
Washington, in September, 1899.
IT went to see him at his home. !"
Mr.. Chambers related. II told
him that Alger Hiss was a Com
munist and had been a member Of
an underground apparatus with
certain other people whose names
I also gave him. Mr.. Berle took
notes.s
Defense Objection Sustained.
"Was Mr.. Berle complacent or
impressed" Mr.. Murphy broke in.
Mr.. Stryker objected and was
sustained by Judge kaufman.
In reply to further question,
Mr.. Chambers said he told Mr..
Berle as well as Ray Murphy,
State Department security officer
at that time. that he himself had
been a "functionary" In the under
ground apparatus.
Reporters covering the trial re-
called that Mr.. Berle told the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities last year that Mr..
Chambers had said only that Mr..
Hiss was in a sort Of study group
composed of Communist SYM
pathiZers.
AS soon as Mr.. Stryker ended
cross-examnation late yesterday,
Mr.. Murphy asked NJ. Chambers to
tell why. despite his break with
communism II years ago and his
regeneration as a "God-fearing
citizen" he committed perjury In
lat least seven instances before .
Federal grand Jury last fall.
