Divorce decrees were granted CLARENCE J. BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Congress While President Truman, Hen­ ry Wallace and Communist lead­ ers have joined in designating the congressional investigations of a Russian spy ring in Washing­ ton as a “red herring” to distract attention from the high cost of living Issue, the fact remains that the shocking revelations, which have come during these investiga­ tions, are awakening America to the dangers which threaten our national security from within. Just why President Truman in­ sists* upon refusing to furnish these congressional committees with the employment or loyalty check records of government em­ ployees, who have been charged with espionage activities in be- ■half of Russia, is indeed hard to understand. Refusal to permit congressional committees to ex­ amine these official records, even in executive session, raises a question as to who is protecting who, and why? While it is extremely difficult to prove treason in spy or espion­ age cases in a court of law, it is easier to do so in the court of public opinion. No one could have heard the testimony given before the house and senate in­ vestigating committees, without grasping the sinister pattern in­ to which the evidence fitted-—or what the fate of America will be if such conditions within our gov­ ernment are permitted to con­ tinue. Three former Russian spies or Soviet agents have testified against thirty or more past and present employees of the federal government. Many of these have already been brought to the wit­ ness stand. A few have denied all guilt. Others have attempted to explain away the testimony against them. Most of the wit­ nesses, however, have refused to answer questions as to the char­ ges made against them by reply­ ing to every question: “I stand on my rights under the fifth a- mendment to the constitution and refuse to answer on the ground that to do so might incriminate or degrade me.” Yet the corro­ borative evidence and testimony which have been given before the investigating committees, make strong cases against the public officials— past and present—who have been charged with unfaith­ fulness to their public trust. d * .............. . if " Ira Egelberry, Jr., from Violet June, neglect grounds, and Ellen K.
