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?
Why has it been impossible for three President:
and many Congresses to demolish it? That is a
