A realistic appraisal of soviet contro] of the UN can be obtained, however, by qooking at the facts. Files of the central intelligence ageney in Washington contain procf that representatives of 32 members of the United Nations are engaged in espionage work for their governments. The same files reveal that 298 of these indi- viduals are high-ranking officials of Communist parties in foreign countries, now working at UN headquarters in New York. Twenty-one of the 29 are engaged in active communist organization work of an underground or subversive nature in the UT, S&S, Out of the ers! a ULt Maid total of 32 representatives oc foreign nations, i who came to the UN with instructions from their communist-controlled government to spy, only three, according to the CIA, are beginning to : weaken by displaying pro-American sentiments. N July 13, 1949, Rear Adm, R, H. Hillen- koetter, then director of the CIA, informed a Senate committce investigating soviet espionage in the U. S. of the above facts. The state department has not picked up ihe passporis of any of the 32 named by the acmiral. They are stil] at the UN, at a time when American par- ents with sons in Korea are anxtously awaiting ageressive action from this international organi- zation. Here is the CTA estimate of what same of these 32 individuais do under the cloak of UN business, as Well as how some of them bchave as humans, Communists in the UN, “‘nlace agents in strate~ gic defense installations, arrange communication facilities for these agents, organize communist cells among seamen and then use the seamen as couriers, work with communist elements in im- ; migrant groups, organize pressure groups in order to combat political and miiltary measires con- sidered unfavorable toward the soviet-satellite axis.” That means espionage. Now for the human side of these soviet agents in the TIN, as deseribed by the (LA: “Tt is of interest to note that many of these Officials have had legal training and have . practiced as lawyers. Quite a few have journal- istic backgrounds. Not much meniion is made of technical espionage training, although it may be assumed that many, particularly eld line com- munists and those who have visited the USSR, have received indocirination to this type. “It is of further interest that the wives of these men are ardent communists in thelr own right and occasionally even act as agents themselves. They are mentioned as exerting strong influence on their husbands. “In conclusion, these officials do not appear to be, in most cases, men of high moral stand- ards or idealistic motivation. Many of them are described as clever, unscrupulous, opportu- nistic, ambitious and piven to shady financial deals or occasional blacik-marketing.” ROM the minds and ambitions of such aa these come the decisions cn Korea; the delib- erations of life or death. Do you wonder now why the UN delays-labsling the communists in Chins. aggressets? Why General Macarthur awaits the UN orders that will free him to secure victory in Kore2? These men, of course, are the foreign repre- seritatives at the UN. T. S. citizens ai the UN normally could handle riffraff of this stripe, assuming they had the will. There is some ques- tion about that, unfortunately. Some 90 U. 8, citizens working for the UN have communist front records sufficient to bar them completely from jobs fm the federal government. Yet they represent this nation at the UN, ~ we - Pau Te
