EC OBES Sterley Graze, who had been promoted from Acheson's Btate Department to a hirhl: important post in the United Nations. Grace refused to tell the McCarran Committee whether or not he ia pre- sently encased in espiunage work. Bur let us exemine another pleec of the jigsaw puzzle. In Detroit, Stevense:n referred to a statement by the Justice Department which I previously reac, pointing cut that there are Cormunists in the State Department. He seid that I was reading from testimony that was 20 years old. If I were mere:y here to prove tet the Democrat candidates were falsifying, 1t might be a waste ef your tine, bet with him falsifying for the purpose of covering up Qsmmuntem in govermument, if is ancther thing. I bold in my hand, and you pesple in the televisicn audience can see it, Docket #51-101, case of James P. Medranery, Attorne: General vs. the Communist Party, dated July 28, 1952, that is, after the Trumat party nominated their candidate. This was in an action broucht against the Communist Party to force them to register as a subversive organization. It 1s signed by seven attorneys in the Juctite Tepartment. % is proposed findings of fact on the Communist Ferty -- proposed findings cf fast as of the 23th day of July, 1952. It is tiue, cf course, that in order to expose tke Communist conspiracy, those young lawyer: hed to co bacit many years because infiitration of a government by the eneny is a slow, tedious process. I will read to you the paseage to which the Democrat candidate toch ex- cetsion: "Illegal paseperts have been used to expedite travel in foreign countries by members of the Communist Party. Plans have been discussec by lbeding members of the party and agente of the Soviet Secret Police, to obtain tlesh American passperts fron the U. &. State Department, fram Communists em- picycd in the State Department." Anc I call upan the members of the presa tonight to examine this document. They will find it 1s not taken out of con- text. They will find that there is nothing in this document to indicete that those Seven lawyers meant tun, Soe cte evi Gmploy.d in the State Lerart- ment twenty years ago and not today, as Stevenson indicates. While the evidence upon which these findings of fact were made to ny knewledg: have never been made public, we find reference to the testimony of different witnesses. One of the witnesses they refer to is Earvey Matusow. _Netusew ran four Communist book shops in New York. His task wos to organize youn; Communist groups at the same time he was working undercover fer ile FBI. 7 20- od -GE5 3 4 a4
