I Only Means of Support [ Miss de Haas said she had no aher means of support (hen her $7,800 government job. She said | she used a bequest from her late! a Mother's estale te pay for the Times-Herald advertisement. ‘ prov “I felt it was my duty to let a people know the facts and I'm sure} mother would have agreed." she baid. ; ~s - The advertisement was addressed to “my fellow Americans’ and: said in part: “Observing the courageous fight of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, I have; Seen to it that pertinent informa-' bate Lf tion was made available to him, as well as to other members of Conepress. I did not know Sen. McCarthy, he had no reason to know the source of his informa- tion, and he is of course unaware that I am making this statement.” Miss de Haas explained that in Ker job with the loyalty review hoard, in which she analysed and evaluated evidence relating to the loyalty of government employes. she was in a position to learn the extent of Communist infiltration in the government. “Because of th: natural Ameri- ean tendency to believe in the loyalty and sincerity of others,” the advertisement said, “I have learned the hard way of the ex- tent of the Communist conspiracy | in our midst—of the almost un- believable suceess of Communists and Communist sympathizers in infiltrating thruout our govern- ment, and particularly into high, Strategic. policy-making positions.” Silence a Crime Miss de Haas said that for het to commit the ‘easy crime of silence’ would atd and comfort the Communists and contribute to the betrayal of her country.
