prosecution" That letter was
dated October 90. 1851, a little
more than month after the SUBJ
committee sent the Davies testi-
mony to the department with a
request for examination for pos
sible perjury prosecution.
The subcommittee bulky re-
port released last night presented
q vast array of material ranging
from notes by Alger Hiss at Yalta
to IPR discussions of the atomic
bomb. In earlier reports the sub
committee said evidence indicated
1PR was influenced by Commu-
nists or the party line.
Says Mccarthy Refunded Check.
The report disclosed that AL
fred Kohlberg, wealthy New York
textile importer frequently iden-
titled with the so-called Chi
nese Nationalist lobby" said he
once sent $500 check to Senator
Mccarthy. Republican. of Wis
consin The check was returned,
Mr.. Kohlberg told the subcom-
mittee.
The report also has reference
to Adlai Stevenson.
It was in a memo dated October
81. 1912. from William w. Lock-
wood. then IPR secretary, to an
1PR official here. 1t stated that
Alger Hiss, former State Depart
ment official now serving a prison
term for perjury, suggested that
an "Adlai Stevens" as we'll as sew
eral other Government officials
might be invited to an IPR con-
ference in Canada.
There was no doubt that the
reference was to Mr.. Stevenson
because it described him as an as
sistant to the late Secretary of the
Navy Knox. Subcommittee staff
employees said today they did not
know whether an invitation actu-
ally went to Mr.. Stevenson for the
1912 meeting but apparently he
did not attend in any event.
Disclosure of the $500 check
from Mr.. Kohlberg to Senator
Mccarthy in February, 1850. was
in an affidavit sent to the sub
committee last April by Mr.. Kohl
berg.
HE (Senator Mccarthy re-
turned it with polite letter say
ing that charges that I was the
China Lobby made it inadvisable
for him to accept the contribu-
tion." Mr.. Kohlberg stated.
Supplied Material.
He added that he never offered
or made any other financial con-
tribution to Senator Mccarthy
but did supply one of the sena-
tors assistants with published
material on the Far East and on
persons connected with American
policy in the Far East"
In the case of Mr.. Davies, the
subcommittee declared publicly as
long ago as last July that it be-
lieved he testified falsely in
denying that he recommended
the CIA employ, utilize and rely
upon certain individuals having
Communist associations and con-
nections."
Lyle H. Munson. a former CIA
employe. and another CIA agent
who was unidentified, had told
the subcommittee that Mr.. Davies
made such recommendations toI
them.
The letter to Attorney General
McGranery indicated that the
subcommittee believes the Justice
Department should take a closer
look into the situation as a re-
suit of recent statements by Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith, CIA director,
that Communist agents may have
infiltrated all Federal security
agencies. Gen. Smith also said
recently that he regards Mr.. |
Davies as very loyal and capable
officer"
Little New on Hiss Notes.
Examination of the Hiss notes
at the Yalta Conference revealed
little that was new or significant,
the report showed. The subcom-
n1ittee said it could not determine
whether note dated February 10,
1945. on stationary of the then
Secretary of State Edward R.
Stettinius was dictated by Hiss.
The note recommended that ''the
three powers encourage Kouming-
tang Communist unity in the war
effort against Japan" Hiss pen
cIed a postscript that President
Roosevelt already had taken up
the matter with Stain.
Hiss is serving a prison term
on perjury charges in denying
that he gave secret information
to Whitaker Chambers, former
Communist agent
Some of the Chambers pump
kin papers" are in the subcommit-
tee report. They are reproduce
tions of documents the subcom-
mittee said were turned over to-
the Government by Mr.. Chambers
and identified as being in the
handwriting of the late Henry
Dexter White. former Treasury
official.
1PR files, previously maintained
by the organizations secretary,
Edward C. Carter, contain many
references to atomic energy, the
subcommittee reported. The re-
port contains a 5,000-word digest
of a round-table discussion spon-
sored by IPR in San Francisco in
January, 1916.
