| Allegations by Senator McCarthy Case Nea. § Case No. 5 "He was born in North Carolina in 1900. He was employed by the Foreign Economic Administration from August 1942, to August 1945, and was then trans- ferred to the State Department and placed on Research and Intelligenceses. "The report dated May 4, 1946, in this man's file shows that eight per= sons, including six college professors at Harvard University and the University of California, agreed that this individual has strong comnunistic leanings, and that in their opinion he was either a card-carrying member of the Communist Party or a fellow-traveler. That is the opinion of six professors st Harvard University and the University of California. Some of the opinions expressed by his associates might well be read. "A professor at the University of California stated that he was acquainted with this individual since September 1937; that he did not trust him; he con- sidered him in the class of Harry Bridges; that under no circumstances would he hire him, and also that there was something about him that aroused his intui- tion, and caused him to be afraid of his outside connections, and under no circumstances would he recommend him to the Government. tA fellow student stated that he had known him since 1939 and that he knew him definitely as a Communist; that he felt that this individual was getting money from the Communist Party, and the other students did also, be~ cause they would say that this individual was not preaching communism for hie health, but that it was a business with him; that he would not reconmend this individual to the Government because he feels that he is a Communist. "This individual was discharged from a Navy school during the war for bad grades and for Communist activities. A memorandum, dated May 15, 1946, from CSA to the Office of Controls, states that an tinvestigation discloses evi- dence of a material nature tending to affect adversely the loyalty to the United States and its institutions.* This report reveals that this individual 4s unmistakeably identified with communistic activities. While the records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel show that he was given a special order dis- charge in March 27, 1942, under honorable conditions, evidence in his file, all of which is, of course, available to the Secretary of State, reveals that CLR Wh WAY 2g WR VV Eee ee ee he was discharged becuase it was found that he was an ardent student of and advocate of communism. bc _be
