I may say that it has been represented that among those who have been eliminated from the rolls of this agency are a former Vienna Communist. a former officer in Mussolinis army. an employee formerly expelled from another country by reason of his communistic views. an employee affiliated closely with Communist front organizations. a former contributor to the Daily Worker and other Communist front organizations. a Hungarian Communist. a German Communist. another employee with Communist front affiliations. a contributor to the New Masses. a wellknown fellow traveler.�and a participant in the May Day parade carrying the banner of the coordinating committee. It has further been represented. whether rightly or wrongly I do not know. that among those now on the rolls of this agency who have not yet been investigated are a wellknown fellow traveler with a conviction for embezzlement against him. an Austrian Communist who has indulged in Communist intrigues in both Europe and America. another employee with Communistfront affiliations. a notorious Polish Communist. a moral degenerate. a contributor to the Daily Worker. a fellow traveler. a German Communist. one in whose home was found a lot of Communist literature. a Hungarian formerly a member of the Communist. Party in Czechoslovakia. a fellow traveler. a refugee fined for smuggling gold. a Soviet agent who worked for the Soviet in the Baltics. said to have forged press credentials. an employee with a Communist record in Europe. an employee with a Communist background and falsified citizenship status. an Italian refugee with a Communist background. a former editor of a Communist newspaper. and a Communist agent speaking no English. Mr. Chairman. these are but examples.
