Let me read you the statement of the employee of one of the Western Union telegraph offices in the city of New York: As one who is employed in the Western Union. I would suggest that you or the FBI survey all the original telegrams filed in New York City for transmission to Washington which protest.the passing of the Mundt bill. You will find long petitions all in the same handwriting. and many individual telegrams all signed by different names in the same handwriting. and we who work here recognize many as coming from the same groups who protested the holding of the Communist deportees at Ellis Island. There are other words here too and a signature. which I will not reveal for very obvious reasons. By the time this reaches the other end of the Capitol we hope to have the -evidence completely in our hands that the same organizations and the same individuals and the same groups that sent thousands of telegrams to President Truman protesting his recognition of the Greek Government. the Sending of troops to Korea. and protesting other things that Stalin does not want done so that the perpetual onward movement of Communist Russia may continue. that the same organizations. the same American Communist Party directed by the Kremlin in Moscow has been doing this.
