"As there appears to be a lack
Of unanimity among the men,
bers of the Investigations SUBJ
committee upon the question IF
continuing my services as chief
counsel, I hereby tender my res
ignation.
''It has been a privilege to per-
form my duties under your in
spring leadership. The enthu-
siastic support which has come
to me from the American people
for the small part that I have
played in this task of exposing
Communist infiltration in key
places has been an inspiring
force and a great comfort. I
extend to the great American
jury my heartfelt thanks for its
loyal support.
Needless to add, it is with
much reluctance that I leave the
challenging work of the commit
tee, but I am certain that the
fight against atheistic Commu-
mist influence will continue until
every vestige Of it is driven from
our Shores"
Mccarthy Praises Work.
Senator Mccarthy said, in a
bitter accompanying statement:
"The resignation Of Roy Cohn
must bring great. satisfaction to
the Communists and fellow
travellers. The smears and pres
sures to which he has been SUBJ
jected make it clear that an
effective anti Communist cam
not long survive on the Wash
ington scene.
"He has rendered perhaps I'M
rivaled service In the conviction
and exposure of Communists and
spies in this Nation. He prose-
cuted julius and Ethel 'Rosen-
berg, the executed atom spies;
William Remington and the top
leaders Of the Communist Party.
He exposed Communist infiltra-
ton in the United Nations. With
this subcommittee he guided the
exposure of Communist infiltra-
ton in the Government Printing
Office, the Voice Of America,
Fort Monmouth, defense plants
and other key places.
1.-THE jury of the American
people saw and heard him dur
ing the (Army-McC arthy) hear
ings. They know f1rst-hand Of
his ability and his effectiveness.
l know that they will resent as
deeply as do I the treatment to
which he has been subjected"
Mr.. Surine was dropped from
the rolls" of the FBI in 1850
and shortly thereafter joined
Senator McCarthy's staff. There
were reports at the time of his
involvement in a Baltimore
white slave case and a Senate
subcommittee afterward said
they wished to ask some addi-
tional questions about Mr.. SUI
rine's operations.
Senator Mccarthy, in an
nouncing the transfer Of Mr..
Surine to his personal payroll,
mentioned the white-slave case
and said an afidavit was OBJ
tanned from a Jailed white
SLAYER in an attempt to discredit
Mr.. Surine."
The Wisconsin Republican
said the entire Baltimore situa-
ton was investigated land Don
Surine was grilled under oath,
by a stacked Senate committee,
which could find nothing re-
motely improper about his con-
duct"
Joined Stan Last Year.
MIR. Cohn Joined the subcom-
mittee staff last year shortly
after Senator Mccarthy became
its chairman. He has been q
controversial figure almost con-
tinuously since.
He was a principal in the
Army-McC arthy row in which
high Army officials accused Sem
ator Mccarthy and Mr.. Cohn of
exerting undue pressue in order
to get special treatment for Pvt.
G. David. Schine, former unpaid
