Lo U6T™, neorpye as ETED oe oye B ping Kantal i Super Spy High n Our Government? A very disturbing thought, even. suspicion, has found its way into the minds of many thinking Americans. . It is this: Somewhere high in our governmeht, or close “to men bigh in our government, is a super Com~ munist spy, 2 mastermind. a ‘The name of that person may nob even known generally. He may be a drinking com~ panion of a policy-forming group in our govern- ent. He may be so persuasive that the men with hom he associates do not even realize the in~ wence he wields, That thought, or suspicion, has many reasons for existing. First, how did so many Communists or Com- munist sympathizers get into our government 160 and 20 years ago? Who put them there? The apparent ease with which Moscow ob- tained American military and diplomatic secrets ds shocking. ¢ The fact that Donald MacLean and Guy Burgess, British diplomats’ now ‘revealed to be long-time Soviet spies, worked in the American ~-sectiorr of the British Foreign Office has further aring on that thought, or suspicion, ‘The Brilish government has announced it 1] tell in an official “white paper” the full, fan- tdstic story of MacLean and Burgess. ‘The bizarre case of those two diplomats whe Lhesiismissal of disappeared behind the Iron Curtain promises to stir up a violent political storm in Britain, “with additional repercussions in the United States. “Phe Times realizes fully that the spreading of the thought, or suspicion, that there is a super Communist spy loose in Washington could easly hake the confidence of the Ameti¢an people. Even so, it is better to have our confidence Mhaken if ib will root out that Communist super The Times never hag been an ardent su porter of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. This new, paper agreed with what he was trying to a -eomplish but it did not go along with the meth, ods he used. But he had, and still has, a strong’ following in the United States. And many of. those supporters ate thinking today along the lines that there is a super Communist spy close to the top men in our federal government. -An editorial in the Aug. 21 issue of “Our Sun- day Visitor” is very revealing. Here it is in part: “Last week we quoted Msgr. William C. Mc~ be Gath and Bishop Cuthbert O'Gara to the effect that our diplomatic defeats with the consequent ascendency of Communism are not, in their opinion, due to American stupidity. They are be- ing directed by some master-mind situated high in the government. And Senator McCarthy had to be destroyed because he was coming danger; ously close to revealing the identity of this im. portant person. - . “Now we have just finished reading a speec! made by Republican Senator William E. Jen- ner of Indiana, in which he echoes the same dis- turbing thought. Speaking before the Dallas Pub- lie Affairs Club, Senator Jenner said that ‘we have two lines of authority In foreign policy~ making. One is the line of responsibility laid down in our Constitution and followed by all those who believe in our Constitution, The other ts a network whose members deliberately disre- gard our Constitution, our President and our Congress, and act as a law unto themselves... “~The Russell Committee, which investigated Géneral MacArthur, and inves tigations by the Senate Internal Security Su committee, showed that a secret faction in ouf government had worked out its own toreigh policy, to suit its own ends, and had by infinite skill, patience and ruthlessness, put it into ef- fect, regardless of the legally established foreign polley set by Congress and by our President ... “What keeps this cabal in power, under Dem- ocyatic and under Republitan administrations?
