individual that tried to get me
to betray the confidence and
give out the names of my in
formants. You will be no more
successful than those who have
tried in the past, period.
Mr.. Welch-I am only ask.
ing you, sir. did you realize
when you took that oath that
you were making a solemn
promise to tell the whole
truth to this committee?
Senator Mccarthy under
stand the oath, Mr.. Welch.
Mr.. Welch-And when you
took it, did you have some
mental reservation, some fifth
or sixth amendment notion
that you could measure what
you would tell?
Senator Mccarthy don't
take the fifth or sixth amend
ment.
Mr.. Welch-Have you some
private reservation when you
take the oath that you will
tell the whole truth that lets
you be the judge of what you
will testify to?
Senator McCarthy-The an
swer is there. is no reservation
about telling the whole truth.
Mr.. Welch-Thank you. sir.
Then tell us who delivered
the document to you.
Senator McCarthy-The an
swer is no. You will not get
that information.
Mr.. Welch-You wish, then,
to put your own Interpretation
on your oath and tell us less
than the whole truth?
Senator Mccarthy - Mr..
WEIGH. think. I made it very
clear to you that neither you
nor any one else will ever get
me to violate the confidence of
loyal people in this Govern
ment who give me informa-
ton about Communist infil-
tration. I repeat. you will not
get their names. you will not
get any information which will
allow you to identify them so
that you or any one else can
get their jobs. You can 60

doomsday and you will not get
the names of any informants

>have never discussed with
him. let me make it clear-I
know this is not responsive to
your question, but in view of
the question having been
raised-I have never discussed
with Mr.. Hoover any report
that appeared to have origi-
mated in the FBI. I have used
my own Judgment and the
ones that I thought should be
used I have used.
Senator Symington - Now
my next question: Am correct
that you got this around 1858?
Senator McC Carthy-It would
be April. May or June. It was
last spring, about a year ago.
Evening star., 1954-05-06

Senator Symington-n I
may say very respectfully. I
think there was some talk
about yes and no answers, but
I will go along with the chair
man. as I often have.
Senator Mccarthy got
the impression that maybe you
wanted a little campaign ma
terial.
Senator Symington-I think
you are furnishing enough as
it Is, Senator.
Mr.. Welch-Senator McCar-
thy, when you took the stand
Of course you understood you
were going to be asked about
this letter. did you not?
Senator Mccarthy as
sumed that would be the sub
ject.
Mr.. Welch-And you, of
course. understood you we're
going to be asked the source
from which you got it?
Senator Mccarthy never
tried to
Mr.. Welch-Did you under
stand you would be asked the
source?
Senator Mccarthy will
answer that. I never try to
read the minds of the Senators
to know what they will ask
you.
Mr.. Welch-Did you not un-
derstand from Mr.. jenkins
attitude that he intended to
ask you from whom you got
the letter?
Senator Mccarthy don't
know what Mr.. jenkins atti-
tude would indicate.
Mr.. Welch-Could I have
the oath that you took read to
us slowly by the reporter?
Senator Mundt-Mr. WEIGH.
that does not seem to be an
appropriate question. You were
present. You took the oath
yourself. He took the same
oath Won took.
Mr.. Welch-The oath in
cluded a promise. a solemn
promise by you to tell the
truth, comma, the whole truth.
comma, and nothing but the
truth. Is that correct, sir?
Senator Mccarthy - Mr..
WEIGH. you are not the first
Evening star., 1954-05-06
Mccarthy Refuses
To Name Source

Senator McCarthy-First let
me make it very clear. Mr..
jenkins and Mr.. Chairman,
that I will not under any cir
cumstances reveal the source
of any information which I
get as chairman of the COM
mittee. One of the reasons
why I have been successful, l
believe, in some extent, in ex-
posing communism is because
the people who give me infor-
nation from within the Gov
ernment know that their con-
fidence will not be violated.
It will not be violated today.
There was an attempt to get
me to violate that confidence
some two or three years ago,
before the Tydings committee.
l want to make it very clear
that 1 want to notify the peo-
pie who give me information
that there is no way on earth
that any committee, any force,
can get me to violate the con-
f1dence of those people.
May I say that this is the
rule which every investigative
agency follows. Mr.. j. Edgar
Hoover insists that no> in
formants be disclosed and
brought up in public. They
will not be brought up today.
Aside from that, I will give
you the information that you
request, Mr.. Jenkins. This
came to me from some one
within the Army.
AS I recall the time, do
not recall the date, I recall he
stated very clearly the reason
why he was giving me this
information was because he
was deeply disturbed because
even though there were re-
peated reports from the FBI to
the effect that there was Com
munist inf1ltration, indications
Of espionage in the top-secret
laboratories. the radar lab
oratories. that nothing was
being done, he felt that his
duty to his country was above
any duty to any Truman di-
rective to the effect that he
could not disclose this in
formation.
And may I say. Mr.. Chair
man and Mr.. Counsel, now
that I am on the stand. it has
been now established that this
is completely accurate re-
sumo of all of the information
In that FBI report. but that
our informant. whoever he
was, was very careful not to
include any security informa-
ton. I give him credit for
that.
I call the chairs attention to
the fact that there is no secu-
rity information in this, and
urge, Mr.. Chairman. that this
be made available to the pub
lie.
Number two, if you will
pardon me, Mr.. Jenkins. I
know have objected to long
winded answers, but may I
just answer you one bit fur
ther. You said to go ahead in
chronological fashion. 1 re-
ceived information also to the
effect-and, Roy, check with
me on this-that in 1949 there
was a report made of the same
nature from the FBI, COM
planning of what would appear
to be apparently espionage:
September Is. 1850; October
81. 1850: December. 1850:
again. December. 1850: again
June 5. 1851; January 26. 1851
Il believe that is the one we
have here-February 13, 1851;
February. 1852; June. 1852;
September. 1852; January,
1858: April 10. 1858; April 81.
1858. And the young man who
gave me this information was
deeply disturbed, that is why
he gave it, because there was
no action taken by the Army
to get rid of individuals after
the FBI had given a complete
Evening star., 1954-05-06

Senator McCarthy-1t Is
available to the committee.
Senator McClellan-Are all
such documents delivered to
you available to the COM
mittee?
Senator McCarthy-I can't
think of any that are not
available to the committee.
Senator Mcclellan: Have
you ever made that available
to the committee before?
Senator Mccarthy: I doubt
whether you were on the COM
mittee then. Senator.
Senator Mcclellan: I have
been on it since.
Senator Mccarthy: This
would be available to any
member of the committee.
May I say all the files are
available. I don't go down to
the files, Senator. May I make
it clear that this is one of, I
assume, hundreds of thousands
of documents in our files. I
do not take it upon myself
to go down to the files and dig
them out and hand them to
the Senator'S.
That is why I urged that you
have a minority counsel. a
very competent young man.
The files are all available to
him.
Senator Mcclellan: That is
all wanted to know. I just
wanted to know if such ma
terial as you are proposing to
introduce here is available to
all members of the committee,
such as you have or if you
treat it as personal docu-
ment or information.
Senator Mccarthy - Sem
ator, I treat nothing that I
receive as personal. The only
thing I consider as personal is
the name of the informant.
That I consider personal. Aside
from that everything that we
have is available to any mem
Der of the committee.

Senator Jackson - Senator
Mccarthy. I understand that
the letter as introduced yes
terday came to you in that
form last April.
Senator McCarthy-That Is
correct. I am not sure about
April. 1t may have been May
or June.
Senator Jackson-Whenever
it arrived. I am not asking you
the exaRt month.
Senator McCarthy-That is
correct.
Senator Jackson-Was it de-
livered to you personally or to
any one of the staff initially?
Senator Mccarthy There
may have been some member
of the staff present, I don't
know. The letter came into
my possession personally.
Senator Jackson-You do
not know whether your in
formant gave it to you directly
or a member of the staff re-
ceived it first and then gave
it to you?
Senator Mccarthy - I am
reasonably certain, Scoop,
that this was handed to me
personally. Keep in mind that
I talk to so many people every
day that I just cannot remem-
ber who handed me something
a year ago.
Senator Jackson - mean,
to your best knowledge and
belief it came to you person.
ally and not through the staff?
Senator McCarthy-That is
correct:
Senator Jackson - You re-
call meeting the person or
seeing him?
Senator Mccarthy - Very,
very well.
Senator Jackson - That is
all.
Senator Symington - Sena-
tor. have two questions.
First, did you discuss this
article or letter with Mr..
Hoover, or the FBI. before you
offered it for evidence?
Senator Mccarthy Il did
not. Can I give you the reason
why? I often come in posses
sion, in this investigation,
going to the various depart
ments, of reports which appar-
emily originate in the FBI.
I will never put Mr.. Hoover in
the position of either saying
yes or no as to whether
should make use of this ma
terial. I don't think he would
want to be put in that position.
