Agency Reports
By Cecil HoIIond

The FBI has made explicitly
clear its role in the 1945 Amerasia
magazine case and officially has
expressed its view that the only
delay in its inyestigation-a delay
of a little more than a MONTH
was taken at the request of the
State and Navy Departments, it
was learned today.
The agency's views in the hotly
disputed case involving alleged
wartime theft of secret Govern
ment documents, it was said, have
been presented formally to the
Senate Foreign Relations Subcom-
mittee looking into the matter as
part of it's investigation of charges
OF communism in the State De-
partment:
GA question has been raised as
to the dispatch with which the
investigation was handled" an
FBI spokesman is said to have
told the committee.
'"The facts in this connection
are that there was no delay. The
investigation was handled with
dispatch"
Referred to FBI March IA, 1945.
FBI records and statements
show:
/. The matter was first referred
to the Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation the night of March IA,
1945, by the State Department at
which time the agency received
information that secret Govern
ment documents had been found
by agents of the wartime Office
of Strategic Services in the New
York Offices of the magazine.
2. On April 18, 1945, a little
more than a month later. the FBI
advised State and Navy Depart
ment representatives that it was
ready to present the case for
such prosecutive action" as the
Justice Department would con-
slider proper.
However, the representatives of
the State and Navy Departments
requested that the investigation
be continued for an additional
two months or so,p according to
an FBI statementaSo the investi-
eating committee on May 81. "for
the purpose of determining the
identities of those who might be
engaged in submitting material
to Jaffe and to determine whether
Jaffe was actually obtaining this
material for the use of foreign
government"
This referred to Philip Jaffe,
editor of the magazine and one
of the six persons arrested in the
case.
Inquiry Continued.
3. AS a result OF this request,
the FBI continued extensive in
vestigation of the case and on
May 20, 1945. placed the full de-
tails before Tom c. Clark, then
