as. early as last November, re-
quests for Mr.. Taylor'S dismissal
had come from former Secre-
tary of the Treasury Snyder.
They were renewed early this
year by Treasury Secretary Hum
phrey. What Mr. Rooth plans
to do about them, if anything. is
unknown.
Many Named in Report.
Mr.. Taylor is only one of a
score of individuals namd in the
December FBI report. an excerpt
from which was published in The
Star last Saturday. The others
were also all identified by Eliza
beth Bentley as having served
as contacts for her spy ring.
Some of these individuals are
certain to appear as the story
of the White case unfoldS.
Today, The Star presents a run
down on these people-what they
did. how long they served in the
Government and what they are
doing today. The record was as
sembled from study of offl-
ciaI records, transcripts of con-
gressional hearings and other
sources.
All of the Government workers
on the list have one thing in COM
mon: None of them was fired
from his job because of the FBI
reports submitted in December,
l945 and February, 1916. Several
of them continued in service for
years, receiving warm letters of
commendation when they even
tually resigned. Many have gone
on to comfortable jobs in pri-
vate organizations.
Another common factor: None
of the individuals named by Miss
Bentley has admitted the charges
against them. Many have denied
them under oath.
In the case of three men on
the FBI list-White, Alger Hiss
and William Remington-their
fates are common knowledge.
Here is the story on the others:
Harold CHASER, formerly of the
Treasury Department, named in
the report as having been placed
by Alger Hiss under direct con-
troll of Soviet agents during the
war, lives at 8 Sheffield road,
Great Neck, NJ Y. He is an econ
omiSt. He told Senate inveSti-
gators on April IA, 1858, that he
was associated with the Council
of Jewish Federations and We'll
fare Funds of New York City.
From 1888 to 1885, before 60
ing to work for the Government,
he was an instructor in eco
nomics at the Peoples Junior
College in Chicago and was also
a part-time labor researcher
with the Labor Bureau of the
Middle West.
He Joined the Works Progress
Administration in Chicago in
August, 1885, as a $4,000 year
statistician. He remained with
the Government until December,
1947.
On March -. 1912, his per-
formance of duty in the Treasury
Department was rated as excel
lent" in a report signed by
William L. Ullmann (also named
in the FBI report) and reviewed
by Harry Dexter White. Subse-
uuent ratings of excellent"
signed by White appeared on
June II. 1912; March II, 1943,
and May 9, 1914.
Another Booster.
Nor were MesSrs. Ullmann and
White the only ones to boost
Glasser's career. On August l.
1889, a memorandum for the
promotion of GlaSser from a
$4,000 job to a $500 one was
processed through the Treasury
Department. The promotion
recommendation was signed:
Harold CHASER"
After December, 1945, when
the FBI report was sent to the
White House, GlaSSer served as
assistant director of monetary
research, grade P-7 at $500
year in the Treasury Depart
ment. In 1916, according to his
testimony before the committee,
he went abroad twice for the
Government. Once with the
special mission that was sent
over to Germany to study the
possibility of financing the Ger
man economy at the time"
On January l, 1947, he went
to Trieste to participate in
four-power study of the Trieste
economy In the spring of that
year, he went to Moscow as a
Treasury Department adviser to
Secretary of State Marshall at
the meeting of the Council of
Foreign Ministers. On August
%. 1916, he was promoted, in a
letter signed by Treasury Secre-
tary Snyder. to the post of di-
rector of monetary research at
$4,000 year.
On December %, 1947. in a
letter which he signed as assist
ant director. Office of Interna-
tional Finance" CHASER wrote
Mr.. Snyder, with the deepest
regret that l find it necessary
to submit my resignation from
the Treasury Department to be
effective December 81. 1947." He
stated that he was leaving to
enter private employment.
Praised to New EmpIOye.
Three days later Secretary
Snyder replied with regret" ac-
Cepting Glassers resignation and
saying that II am fully aware
of the many valuable contribu-
tionS you have made in the mon
etary field. 1 wish to assure
you that we will miss the fine
work that you have done here"
On the same day Mr.. Snyder
