Will Seek To Prove
Hiss Did Not Lie
--
NEW YORK, <7P)—Defense law- ,
.vers today will begin their court
battle to try to prove Alger Hiss
did not lie when he swore he
never handed out government se
crets to a pre-war courier for Sov
iet* spies.
Apart from attacks on the cred
ibility of Hiss’ chief accuser. Whit
taken Chambers, the defense has
not indicated what its line of ar
guments will be.
However, it is expected that the
lanky, Harvard-educated Hiss, one |
time high states department offi-[
cial, will be his own star witness.1
He is charged with perjury. The!
government claims he lied to a)
grand jury when he said he did
not supply confidential informa-1
tion to Chambers, confessed ex-j
communist spy courier.
The government rested its case :
Friday, after 14 trial days, and
testimony by 33 witnesses.
