Then, with the Soviet govern

Soviet Union were able to come
here openly and establish their
contacts with their Communist

Thus it was, the White House

reach their peak when we were

No Spy Cases Found
AT Monmouth Now,
Stevens Announces
BY [. Edaor Primo

Secretary OF the Army Robert
T. Stevens says that a thorough
and continuing Army investiga-
ton has not turned UP a single
case relating to espionage" at
Fort Monmouth. N. j.. since he
took Office last February.
He made it clear, at Penta-
gon press conference yesterday,
that this meant that none of the
81 security suspensions ordered
since Senator Mccarthy opened
his investigation at the Signal
Corps base some two months ago
has been linked to spying ac-
tiVitieS.
Senator Mccarthy has charged
that there was considerable Com,
munist espionage at Monmouth
during the war years when
Julius Rosenberg the executed
Soviet atomic spy operated there.
He has indicated too that espio-
mage has been carried on well
into the postwar years.
More Detailed Hearings.
In Portland, Maine, for a
speaking engagement Senator
Mccarthy said:
''I'll let the hearings speak for
themselves. So far I haven't
tried to evaluate the testimony.
More detailed hearings will be
held around December /, either
in Monmouth or New York"
When asked if the FBI had
investigated and come to the
same conclusion in 1853. Mr..
Stevens asserted: IF they knew
of any espionage. I would know
it," He explained that the FBI
and the Army's G-2 (intelli-
gence) section maintain a close
working relationship.
Target of InfiltratiOn.
The Secretary added, how
ever, that, although he could not
prove it. he thought there was
spying at Monmouth during the
Rosenberg days" He said that
the base had been target of
Communist inf1ltration for many
years.
Several of the 33 suspended
employees are in the process of
being returned to duty. Mr..
Stevens declared. He denied this
meant faulty investigation. and
pointed out that the Army will
act in favor of the American
people when there is any doubt.
In reply to a question, Mr..
Stevens said he thought the Nc
Carthy investigation had been
helpful" He did not say how.
Believes Morale Is Good.
He conceded that a few scien-
lists might quit the Signal Corps
laboratories as a result of the
current situation. but added:
Il do believe morale is good
at Monmouth - with the vast
majority of employees, anyway.
They want the whole thing
Strengthened out"
According to the Secretary, a
1st Army appeals board, COM
posed of Air Force and Navy per-
sonnel, military and civilian, will
hear the cases Of suspended en-
ployes. No Army personnel will
sit on the board. i''
Cases in 3 CategOries.
The 33 cases were put in three
categories by Mr.. Stevens: The
serious and apparent; the less
serious and the difficult to deter
mine.
When a reporter asked why
an employe who had taken home
classified documents to work on
them had been suspended, al
though his superior commended
him for it. the Secretary
snapped:
"They (the documents) should
not have been missing. I would
disagree violently with whom
ever commended him. I think it
was very poor use of judgment"
Mr.. Stevens said that there
had been 167 disloyalty cases at
Monmouth since 1946-47.

Grand Jury Probing
Former Head Of u. ).
Antitrust Division

Herbert A. Bergson, former
head of the Justice Departments
antitrust division, is the object
of the probe now underway by
a grand jury dealing with the
conflict of interest" law, it was
learned today.
The grand jury, which has
been hearing witnesses since last
Monday, is trying to determine
if an indictment of Mr.. Bergson
for allegedly violating the law
is possible. If an indictment is
to come down, it must be by
Monday, since the statue of lin
itationS on the specific case in
volved goes in effect Tuesday.
The law in question bars for
mer Federal officials from repre-
senting clients having claims
against the Government for a
period of two years. The claims
must involve subject matter with
which the former Federal Off
cial was connected when in Of
flee.
Won't Discuss Case.
Mr.. Bergson refused to dis
cuSs the case.
II think it would be inap-
propriate for me to make any
statement at this time," he COM
mented.
The grand jury is reported in
terested in a case which Mr..
Bergson took shortly after he left
the Justice Department in the
fall Of 1850. It Is understood Mr..
Bergson was representing two
companies that wanted to merge
and his role was to seek a ruling
from the Justice Department
that the merger would not be a
violation of the antitrust laws.
Mr.. Bergson'S contention, it
was learned, Is that the law is
being misinterpreted by Attor-
ney General Brownell and that
his role in the case was not to
represent a claim against the
Government.
Memo Issued in August.
Last August, Mr.. Brownen is
sued a memorandum to all
United States attorneys saying
1T has come to the attention of
the Justice Department that the
statute is being violated" The
memo went on to say that the
law never has been "judicially
construed"
Mr.. Brownell then told the
United States attorneys his in
depreciation of the law and or
dered vigorous prosecution Of all
violations.
"A reading of the statute
clearly indicates that it was des-
tined to maintain and insure
honesty and integrity on the
part of officers and employees of
the Government in the perform
ance of their official duties to
the end that they be removed
from temptation by prohibiting
them for a period of two years
at least from representing the
opposing parties involving any
subject matter directly connected
with which such person was so
employed to performed duty"
the memo said.
Mr.. Brownell's memo went on
to say there was no distinction
between monetary claims and
non-monetary claims in the law.
Position of Bergson.
It is understood that Mr..
Bergson's position is that the
law specifically speaks of
claims" and means monetary
claims. The position taken is
that a lawyer seeking assurance
from the antitrust division that
a proposed plan of action by his
client will not run afoul of the
antitrust laws is not represent
ing parties with a claim against
the Government.
The position taken is that this

Sprague Quits COP.
Post; Dewey Hopes
He Will Reconsider
BY the Assoeiofed Press

M1NEOLA, N. Y, Nov. IA
j. Russell Sprague has quit as a
Republican national committee
man rather than embarrass the
party over his stock holdings in
a tainted harness raceway.
For years, he has been Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey's right hand
man, not only in State politics
but in Gov. Dewey's two losing
campaigns for the presidency.
He pledged Gov. Dewey contin-
ued support.
"It would be foolish and un-
realistic of me to ignore the fact
that there have been criticisms
of me because of my ownership
of racetrack stock" Mr.. Sprague
said yesterday as he ended 13
years on the COP. National
Committee.

He added that he never had
anything to do with the manage
ment of Yonkers Racewav, now
under strong political attack as
a haven for labor racketeers and
a source of income to some Re-
publican politicians.
Republicans in his home county
of Nassau on Long Island are
aware of this, Mr.. Sprague
added, but the Nation at large
might criticise the G.. o. P. be-
cause of him. He said:
