fused to answer questions be-
fore Congressional investigators
by invoking the Constitutional
privilege against self -incriminat-
ing testimony.
It is known, the report said,
that many of the latter falsified
anti-CommuniSt oaths required
of Government workers, but
most cannot be prosecuted be-
cause of a three-year time limit
on such prosecutions. The sub
committee recommended re-
moval of this time limit.
It urged that Congressional
committees be given the right
to grant immunity from prose-
cution to reluctant witnesses who
have defied past Communist in
veStigations. Such witnesses
then could be forced to testify
or prosecuted for contempt.

past were associated with known
Soviet agents or were involved

I'm general" the report said,
''the Communists who inflltrated
our Government worked behind
the scenes-guiding research and
preparing memoranda on which
basic American policies were
set, writing speeches for cab
met officers, influencing congress
sional Investigations, drafting
laws, manipulating administra-
tive reorganizations - always
serving the interests of their

Thousands OF diplomatic, po-
litical, military, scientific and
economic secrets of the United
States have been stolen by So
Wet agents in our Government
and other people closely con-
nected with the Communists"
Operations Described.
The report said the Commu-
niStS and Soviet agents wormed
their way into Government from
bottom to top levels and offered
this description of their opera
tions:
They used each others names
for reference on applications for
Federal employment. They hired
each other. They raised each
others salaries. They promoted
each other. They transferred
each other from bureau to bu-
reau, from department to de-
partment, from congressional
committee to congressional COM
mittee.
"They assigned each other to
international missions. They
vouched for each others loyalty
and protected each other when
exposure threatened. They often
had common living quarters"

President Reported
Setting Up Economic
Listening Posts
BY the As.oeiosed Pres.

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-The
New York Times reported today
the White House is setting up a
network of economic experts at
key points across the country
to report on economic trends.
The Times, in a Washington
| dispatch by Charles E. Egan
said the experts are known for
their business acumen and OBJ
jectivity in assessing local eco
nomic conditions.
Mr.. Egan said the experts
"chosen on highly Selective
basis established by the opin-
ions of bankers, businessmen
labor leaders and politicians in
each city, will report on a
monthly basis-more often if
conditions warrant-to the
White House on the economic
trends in their respective locali-
ties"
Officials Reluctant to Talk.
The story said White House
officials are reticent about dis
cuSSing the new advisory Set-up
Additional details given by the
Times were these:
| Undersecretary of Commerce
Walter Williams will select the
businessmen to serve on the
group. He also will receive the
telegraphed reports from the
specialists and, together with
other economic advisers to Presi-
dent Eisenhower, will evaluate
the information received.
The main purpose of "the
newest cadre of volunteer ad-
visers to the White House i:
to constitute a system of sensi.
tive economic reporters at key
points"
Members of the Presidents Ad'
viSory Board on Economic
Growth and Stability have beer
dissatisfied with the time lapse
between economic changes anc
their appearance in the form o1
statistics in Government reports
To Send Spot Reports.
The new reporting group "i:
expected to supplement avail
able data by sending spot re-
ports of developments, such as
the closing of a plant in one
city, the demand for labor in
another, information on the
availability of bank credits
regional commodity prices, and
such other key information that
can be correlated and assayed
on a national basis by the eco
nomic advisers at the White
House"
Sponsors of the system expect
it to forewarn the administra-
ton "of any drastic mutations
in the economy" and thus per-
NIT the formulation of plans "to
meet the new conditions as they
develop"

Continued From First Page.)

in sheer speculation as to guilt
or innocence. He said the
count restricts freedom of be-
lief and expression.
But the Governments brief
declared that baltimore "is not
being prosecuted for adhering to
a belief or opinion, political or
otherwise. but rather for giving
false testimony"
The First Amendment. the
Government said, does not give
one the right to lie willfully
under oath even where beliefs
are involved.
Attacking the charge of nebu-
lousneSs, the Government de-
clared that "the state of a mans
mind is as much fact as the
state of his digestion"
The brief declared that a Jury
could decide by evidence Of
Lattimore's words and actions
whether he really believed he
was not Sympathizer with
communism when he so testified.
Judge Youngdahl had stated
that the question of whether
baltimore knew" certain per-
sons were Communists was so
highly nebulouS as to be capable
of answer only through Specula-
ton. Only the defendant will
ever know what he meant when
he said he did not know"
Asiaticus was a Communist, the
judge had held.
Held Violating Law.
This ruling. the Government
charged, violates settled princi-
pies of Anglo-American law. :"
The brief declared that mental
states" such as knowledge are
daily determined in the courts.
If Judge Youngdahl's reason
ing were correct, the Govern
ment asserted, mo defendant
could be convicted under the
stolen property statutes, since
it is equally difficult to say
whether defendant merely "be-
lieved." suspected, or felt"
that the goods were stolen"
The brief held that the term
"Sympathizer with commu-
niSm" was clear to baltimore,
since the phrase was used by
him in prepared statement
read voluntarily to the subcom-
mittee.
THE words contained in the
first count are his Lattimore'S)
own; he knew what they meant
and he used them for a definite
purpose :" the Government
alleged.
The Government pointed out
that, since the phrase Com
munist Sympathizer" has a suffi-
GENTLY definite meaning to be
used as the basis of libel suit,
"these words cannot be so am
biguous that it is impossible :.
for jury to determine whether
defendant wilfully falsified his
oath"
The count referring to the trip
to China had been thrown out
because of variance in the
phrases Communist Party" and
Communist authorities. The
Government held that the terms
are synonymous and that at any
rate the count was sufficient be-
fore introduction of the matter
held to be defective.
baltimore, former adviser on
far Eastern affairs for the State
Department, is scheduled to be
tried in october in the U. S.
District Court for the District
of Columbia on the remaining
perjury counts.
The brief was filed in the
appellate court by United States
Attorney Leo. A. Rover and John
w. Jackson, special assistant to
the Attorney General. The
names of four Justice Depart
ment attorneys also appeared on
the document.
