Hiss Identifies |
Chambers In I
/ ■
Spy Probe |
(By Douglas B. Cornell)
WASHINGTON, (£>) —Congres
sional spy probers pointed jubil
antly today to a 1934-35 link be
tween Alger Hiss former state de
partment official, and Whittakes
Chambers, avowed one-time
member of a Red underground.
I Hiss himself admitted the con
nection by identifying Chambers
as a man he knew years ago as
“George Croseley” and as a free
lance writer.
That happened yesterday in
New York, before members of the
House un-American activities
committee and again at a news
conference called by Hiss.
Previously, Chambers had tes
tified under oath that Hiss was a
member of the pre-war Red un
derground Chambers insisted had
operated in Washington. And
Hiss, also under oath, denied it.
He denied, too, knowing anyone
by the name of Whittaker Cham
bers. He said he could not iden
| tify Chambers by a picture.
| Hiss still is sticking to his
statement that he is no commun
ist and never has been.
But committee members said
they are on stronger ground now
that Hiss admits he knew Cham
bers at one time. Some of them
had been saying their investiga
tion would be hurt badly if it de
veloped that Chambers actually
never had known Hiss.
Hiss is now head of the Carne
gie foundation for international
peace. Chambers is a senior edi
tor of Time magazine.
The committee for the first time
brought the two of them face to
face yesterday aternoon in a New
York hotel room. Rep. Nixon <R.
Calif.) said afterward that Hiss
“positively identified” Chambers.
Hiss told reporters later that at
the meeting Chambers said:
“Alger, we were both commun
ists.”
Hiss said he threw up his hands
at that and denied again to the
committee that he was a Red.

For Landing Field

aeronautics administration

site for a new civil airport in

Plan Ban On
Comic Books
NEW ALBANY, Ind., (/P)—
Floyd county officials asked a ban
on comic book sales today and
planned psychiatric tests for three
small boys accused of torturing a
fourth. Officials said comic books
had inspired the torture.
A seven-year-old boy related
the tale in circuit court yesterday.
He displayed welts caused by
ropes on his neck and wrists.
Physicians said he narrowly es
caped death by hanging.
Wind Aids
Fire Fighters
At Kodiak
KODIAK, (#*) — A strong off
shore wind aided volunteers early
yesterday in controlling fire that
broke out Monday night at the
Kadiak Fisheries cannery at Port
Bailey, 40 miles northwest of Ko
diak.
A coast guard PBY plane which
flew to the scene reported there
were no casualties.
First reports of the blaze had
requested aid in evacuating vil
lage residents and cannery work
ers.
Extent of the fire’s damage was
not clear in sketchy reports re
ceived here. The pier area on
which the cannery is located was
reported in flames, but late re
ports said the blaze was dying
down and under control. Fuel
tanks and barracks were spared,
it was indicated.
Fishermen coming from the
Bering Sea to Kodiak reported
that smoke and flames were visi
ble several miles at sea.
(A company official explained
that the Russian spelling, “Kadi
ak,” was used when the company
was organized in 1911, and has
been retained.)
