Stettinius Never Learned Facts
How High Up in the Stoe Department Did the FB Reports
On Results of ErnpIoye Loyalty Investigations Get?

State, and told him about the
work that Hiss had done in our
Government as a Russian agent.
It is known that in the latter
part of 1941 and early 1912,
the FBI obtained the notes of
Mr.. Berle and gave the State
Department whatever informa-
ton it had about Alger Hiss.
It is known that in March,
1945. just after the Yalta con-
ference-and before the United
Nations conference at San
Francisco, in which Alger Hiss
played an official part-the FBI
transmitted to the State De-
partment a comprehensive re-
port about Alger Hiss that ere
ated quite a stir among some
officials in the department.
Now Chairman Snow. in his
public statement, says that the
chief damage done by the Alger
Hiss case was in undermining
the confidence of the public in
the State Department and he
places as secondary the harm
that Hiss did in the delivery
of classified papers.
Evidently Chairman Snow
has not given weight to the op-
portunities which Alger Hiss had
to communicate directly or in
directly to the Russians what he
knew of American policies and
plans. For Mr.. Stettinius reveals
in his book that he reviewed"
with Hiss and only two other
advisers certain questions for
purposes of presentation to
President Roosevelt at Yalta.
Critics of the administration in
Congress claim that America
was sold down the river" at
the Yalta conference.
Among the questions listed by
Mr.. Stettinius as having been
reviewed" by him with Alger
Hiss were the treatment of Ger
many. the Polish question, the
relations between UNRRA and
the Soviet government, the
rights of American representa-
tiVes on the allied control COM
missions fer Bulgaria. Romania
and Hungary; questions Of oil
concessions in Iran. policy in
China with reference to Russian
influence with the Chinese Com
muniSts, the Turkish straits

question and international trus-
teeships.
Chairman Snow points with
pride to the record that since
December, 1947, mot one case
has been found Of a present
Communist working in the State
Department" and asks: What,
then, is all the shouting about?"
Yet in his own public state
ment Chairman Snow says that
between December, 1947, and to-
day. eight employees have been
found to be security risks" and
about 40 other employees have
elected to resign during the
process Of investigation and
adjudication of loyalty" He
adds frankly:
What might have been found
in their cases, had they gone to
hearing. of course, do not
know"
The FBT furnished a file on
every one of those cases. When
the chairman of the loyalty
board In the State Department
eliminates 40 loyalty cases be-
cause they didr't go to a "hear-
ing" does that mean the back
ground Of those 40 cases was
unimportant?
There is another pertinent
fact on which the fullest can
dor is essential. How much
pressure, If any, was put on the
40 loyalty cases to resign?
Does the department do its
wedding out by pressure and
thus maintain a perfect score.
enabling it to say that mot one
case has been found Of a pres
ent Communist working in the
State Department.?
The $64 question, finally. is
this: Although in every other
important department of the
United States Government dis
loyalty cases have been found"
and loyalty boards of those de-
partments have recommended
dismissals, why has the State
Department never found" a
single disloyalty case that re-
suited in formal dismissal?
Plainly Chairman Snow has
chosen to give out a part of the
story and only the part which in
his opinion "does not indicate
any noticeable infiltration of
Communists in Government"

UNDERSTANDABLE feel that the
arms he bears are too brittle for
a successful onslaught on the
conservative coalition in Con-
gress with respect to domestic
measures. His leaders have
already showed that they won't
fight.
Mr.. Truman's acceptance of
the congressional stalemate does
not really offend the party lib
erals whose criticism is so irk-
some to the President. They do
object to his indifference to the
weakening of the independent
agencies and the current scan
dals, especially in Internal
Revenue.
In their rather simple minded
way they had anticipated a big
cleanup gesture at the National
Committee when the beleagured
Mr.. Boyle obligingly retired.
Many of them will not accept
a political associate of the
broken-down McHale machine
in Indiana in such a role,
though they now think that's
what they will get.
Mr.. Truman's reasoning
seems to be that the regulars
and the money-raisers come
first and that labor and the lib
erals will have nowhere else to
go. It thus appears that he is
confident his favorite for the
Republican nomination, Mr..
Taft, will outdistance Gen.

the country is more concerned
with domestic problems and
high diplomacy" across the
Atlantic than with the war
which is being fought above the
38th Parallel and has cost an
average of $50 casualties a day
during the period Of the "armi-
stice talks" Gaining a few miles
is of little consequence, since
an enemy counteroffenSive in
strength could cause us to lose
everything in a short time. Yet
from the letters and the news
papers they get from home, it
appears to them that their Gov
ernment does not intend to
prosecute this war to its logi-
cal conclusion-a military victory
and that the folks back home
have no concrete idea of what
is going on out there. They read
about festivities, celebrations,
politics, high wages and cost OF
living and in general of an at
mosphere of peace while 1000
miles away one of the most Bit
ter wars in history Is oeing
waged by some 100000 Ameri-
can soldiers.
Far away from home, these
men of course do not realize
that the explosion which oc-
CURED in Korea in June 1850
may be followed by other SINH
lar explosions in other parts Of
the world and that their coun-
try is committed to intervening
in all of them. They only know
that they have been sent to do
a job and the job is not being
done because their folks at
home do not understand its i'm
portance and the way it could
be handled.

Thomas l.. Stokes:
Banker at Democratic Window
Mckinney, New National Committee Head Proved Himself
An Expert on Fund-Roising in the 1o48 Indiana Conpoon

Political campaigns cost money
these days, especially presiden-
tial campaigns.
II any proof is needed beyond
the fat. juicy figures in some of
the big States for senatorial
campaigns the last time out-in
1950-we have it now in the
selection for chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
of a proved fund-raiser in
Frank E. Mckinney, Indianap-
oils banker and businessman.
Emphasis on money-raising
ability-which Banker McKin-
ney demonstrated on draft" by
Indiana Democrats for the sue
cessful 1948 State campaign
rather than on national political
experience indicates the impor-
tance attached to finances in the
1852 campaign by Democratic
managers, including President
Truman. That is not surprising,
for it is plain already that Re-
publicans are getting ready for
an all-out effort, such as seldom
seen previously, to recapture the
Government from the Fafr Deal
ers. They expect to tap big
pocketbooks in what is bound
to be a crusade-and literally.
1t will be helpful to have
banker sitting at the Demo-
cratic window. For bankers
somehow exude respectability
and stability and exhibit stern
visage toward "socialistic tend
encies" which Republicans at
tribute to Harry Truman and
his Fair Deal Democrats. At
that, on the other hand, Mr..
Mckinney is not that much
maligned ogre, a Wall Street
banker, but a moderately sized
Middle West banker.
That the Democrats may need
a banker friend of other friends
who have nice bank accounts
was rather manifest during
the 1948 presidential campaign
when, at times, the Democratic
Party managers did not know,
figuratively. where the next
"buck" was coming from, that
Is, the next big buck" The big

to pay for a radio hookup for
Harry Truman, which is some
what of necessity these days.
So the boys would get together
in the back room at headquar-
tiers and frantically call long
distance hither, thither and yon
to get enough generous fellows
on the cuff in pledges to pay for
a radio hookup for the candi-
date-and then wonder how the
next one was to be paid for. IT
was a sort of hand mouth
existence, so to speak, an oft
repeated exercise in Illustration.
Lots of times Harry Truman
just had to go on plugging from
that back platform of his cam
paign train, from hamlet to
hamlet, influencing people in
half-acre bundles, without bene-
f1t OF radio, while Tom Dewey,
the Republican candidate. was
speaking his less vituperative.
almost dulcet, phrases into
many, many more ears over the
radio. Harry did all right, even
with that handicap. But he
probably won't be running next
time, and the fellow they pick
may not be so fetching from a
back platform, and anyhow, not
being President of the United
States, won't have that occa-
sional free time for mon
political" speeches that a .Presi-
dent enjoys. So a good money
raiser is virtually a must"
Nor is Mr.. Mckinney exactly
a novice at politics, even though
without national experience.
He's from Indiana, in the first
place. which says plenty, and he
had some precinct and ward ex-
perience as a young man-and
that is, practically a post-grad-
uate course the way it's done in
Indiana. He topped that off
with his more recent tour as
treasurer of the Indiana State
Democratic Committee, which
post he resigned in March.
There are some ironies in his
selection.
Because of the criticism of re-
firing Chairman William M.

Mr.. Trumdn's 1852 plans.)
Democrats are divided on the
significance of President Tru-
mans determination to sum-
mon them into the breach once
more for the Fair Deal in its
entirety.
The weight of opinion is that
