cret agent who worked for the;
farm security administration at
that time. He is no longer with
the government.
And she named various others.
While Miss Bentley was testi
fying to the House committee
Senate investigators were ques
j tioning William W. Remington,
commerce department official.
Miss Bentley told the Senators
Friday thaf Remington was a
communist and gave her secret
; information on American plane
production during the war.
Remington, under oath, told the
I Senators he would have left the
government long before except
for “a firm conviction in my in
„
nocence.
In response to questions from
' members of the Senate expendi
; tures subcommittee, Remington
testified:
1. That a time when the FBI
was investigating his association
1 with Miss Bentley he was offered
a job with the atomic energy com
mission.
I 2. He held a White House job
and handled secret data also
while under FBI investigation.
3. He resigned a naval reserve
commission in the spring of last |
year by request, but did not con
nect the request with the FBI
probe.
It was last spring that he got
into his present commerce depart
ment job which involves presid
ing over a committee to pass on
exports to Russia.
At this point in his testimony,
chairman Ferguson (R.-Mich.)
asked Remington, “If Russia de
sired to place a spy in the Amer
ican government do you know a
more important spot to put him
than on that committee?”
Remington said he could think
of “several thousand” other
I places of more importance.
The Senate committee had got
only about that far with Reming
ton when it quit until today.
Miss Bentley spoke of two main
“groups” in the government with
whom she dealt. She called one
the “Silvermaster group” and the
other the “Perlo Group.”
She said the latter group was
named after its “ostensible lead
er” whom she identified as Victor
Perlo formerly employed in the
war production board.
She named several former gov
ernment employees as members
of the Perlo group. These includT
ed:
Allen Rosenberg of the foreign
economic administration.
Donald Wheeler of the office of
strategic services.
Charles Cramer who she said
was employed by both Senators
Kilgore (D.-W. Va.> and Pepper
(D.-Fla.) on the Senate subcom
mittee on education and labor.
Edward Engle of the war pro
duction board.
Harry Magidoff of the com
merce department.
