REPORT OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE INTERNAL SECURITY ACT AND OTHER INTERNAL SECURITY LAWS SECTION I "FIGURES IN A PATTERN" This report of the subcommittee is merely a pause for breath to examine the figures which have been added to the pattern since the last report was issued. Four years ago, for example, the subcommittee began its existence with a far-reaching investigation of the Institute of Pacific Relations. In the course of this investigation we examined the activities of a group of political advisers assigned by the State Department to Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer who was Chief of Staff to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in the years before the Chinese Communist triumphs. "If we had followed their advice," General Wedemeyer told the subcommittee, "communism would have run rampant over China much more rapidly than it did." In the Institute of Pacific Relations investigation we also studied the activities of Communist and pro-Communist individuals who directed the Pacific operations of the Office of War Information and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. In the early part of this year we disclosed serious Communist penetration into the Information and Education Division of the United States Army during World War II. At the end of the year we had under scrutiny a group of Americans who have been and are giving aid and comfort to the cause of Red China, both in the Far East and the United States. Virtually every one of these individuals has some connection with persons or institutions which had been scrutinized in previous investigations mentioned above. Some were attached to the Institute of Pacific Relations and some worked for the Office of War Information and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. One was a research scientist with the atomic bomb project at Los Alamos. One was in the United States Information Service. One was in the Information and Education Branch of the Army. One worked for the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund. |
