Service Papers, 1925-1999, document the life experiences of "Jack" Service, a member of the United States Foreign Service who was posted to China during the 1930s and 1940s, and later accused of "losing China to the Communists." As one of the "Old China Hands," Service was implicated in the Amerasia Affair and arrested. Although he was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, Service was repeatedly accused of questionable loyalty to the United States, and dismissed. His reinstatement and public exoneration are covered, as is his subsequent career as a China specialist at the University of California, Berkeley. Personal and family papers round out the collection by providing another glimpse of this very private man.

Finding Aid to the John S. Service BANC MSS 87/21 3 Papers, 1925-1999 review in 2004. All were declassified in September 2004, returned, and integrated back into the collection in 2005. Biographical Information John Service, the son of American YMCA missionaries, was born August 3, 1909 in Chengtu, China and spent his school years there, in Chungking, and in Shanghai. Following his graduation from Oberlin College in 1931, he joined the Foreign Service as a clerk at the American consulate in Kunming. He went to Beijing for language training in 1935-1937, and then served in Shanghai until the U.S. entry into World War II. From 1942 to 1945, Service was in Chungking, for much of that time on the staff of General Joseph Stillwell. In July 1944, Service was a member of the first contingent of Americans that went to Yenan, where the Chinese Communist forces had their headquarters: the Dixie Mission. His reporting on conversations with Mao Tse-tung and other top leaders provided U.S. policy-makers with first hand information on Communist plans for China after Japanese defeat. On the basis of long experience and knowledge of China, Service came to believe it very likely that the Communists would prevail over Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist Party. For that reason, and also because the Communists had proved effective in fighting the Japanese, Service was one of many Americans in China at the time who advocated providing some military assistance to them. Many read Service's dispatches as a realistic assessment of power in China. However others, most notably Patrick Hurley, the Ambassador to China in 1944-1945, and the pro-Chiang China Lobby thought that Service's recommendations were evidence that he was pro-communist. The Amerasia affair further complicated Service's difficulties with the Political Right. Soon after returning from China in April 1945, Service met Philip Jaffe, the editor of Amerasia, a leftist magazine on Asian affairs. Service did not know that the FBI had Jaffe under surveillance for possessing secret government documents and unwittingly provided him with background material for an article, including copies of some of his reports. In June, Service was one of six arrested for alleged espionage. Service defended himself by claiming it was normal for government officials to pass on certain documents to journalists as background material. A federal grand jury voted unanimously not to indict Service and a State Department Loyalty Review Board cleared him of any wrongdoing. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy revived the loyalty question in 1950. Drawing on material supplied by the China Lobby, he announced that Service was a "known associate and collaborator with Communists" who had been "consorting with admitted espionage agents." The Wisconsin Republican claimed that J. Edgar Hoover had stated that he thought he had a 100% case against Service. The State Department recalled Service who was then on a ship headed for India and the post of Political Conselor in New Delhi. The State Department Loyalty Review Board again examined the Amerasia case. It heard testimony from both George Kennan and John K. Fairbank attesting to Service's anti-communism. The FBI provided material designed to convince the panel that Service had fathered an illegitimate child while in China. The Board once again cleared Service. Concurrent with that review, a Senate panel led by Millard Tydings examined McCarthy's charges. Service testified that he had been indiscreet in giving Jaffe material, but then repeated that it was routine to do so. The Tydings Committee cleared Service of any wrongdoing. In the fall of 1951, the Civil Service Loyalty Review Board, which had the power to examine cases already decided by the State Department, took up the case. In December it ruled that there was "reasonable doubt" about Service's loyalty, and cited the Amerasia case as justification for this decision. Secretary of State, Dean Acheson then fired Service. Service fought his ouster through the courts. In 1957, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Department of State had not followed its own established procedures in firing Service and ordered him reinstated. Service resumed his diplomatic career and served as Consul in Liverpool from 1959 to 1962. However his case remained politically sensitive and the Department was unwilling to promote him or give him an assignment drawing upon his China experience. Service retired in 1962 and he and his wife, Caroline, lived in Berkeley and Oakland, California, until their deaths in 1999 and 1997, respectively. After receiving an M.A. in political science at Berkeley in 1963, Service worked for a number of years in the Center for Chinese Studies at the University. He made four trips to China in the 1970s and 1980s, and was a member of many organizations seeking to strengthen U.S.-China relations. For many years Service edited China-related books for the University of California Press. Written by his son, Ambassador Robert E. Service, February 2002 Scope and Content of Collection The John S. Service Papers, 1925-1999, document the life experiences of "Jack" Service, a member of the United States Foreign Service who was posted to China during the 1930s and 1940s, and later accused of "losing China to the Communists." As one of the "Old China Hands," Service was implicated in the Amerasia Affair and arrested. Although he

Finding Aid to the John S. Service BANC MSS 87/21 4 Papers, 1925-1999 was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, Service was repeatedly accused of questionable loyalty to the United States, and dismissed. His reinstatement and public exoneration are covered here, as is his subsequent career as a China specialist at the University of California, Berkeley. Personal and family papers round out the collection by providing another glimpse of this very private man. A significant part of the collection centers around the defense Service prepared to clear his name. Correspondence files contain letters from many of his longtime family friends, and former diplomatic and political associates. In response to various hearings and other legal proceedings, which are documented in some depth, Jack's efforts included his own personal statements, soliciting affidavits of support from friends and colleagues, and gathering documents that could assist his attorney in preparing his defense. Correspondence with his legal counsel, Charles Edward Rhetts and others, is also included. Newspaper clippings about Jack Service during the 1950s convey a sense of the McCarthy Era Red Scare. The investigations of Jack Service continued throughout this time, and involved political figures such as Joseph McCarthy, Dean Acheson, and J. Edgar Hoover. Following his retirement from the Foreign Service, Jack Service began to write and give talks about China and U.S.-China relations. Although there is little documentation of his work at the University of California's Center for Chinese Studies. It is during this time that he traveled to China on four occasions, became the subject of several interviews, television documentaries, and articles, and was finally given recognition and honors for his contributions to understanding China. Also of particular interest in the collection are two versions of his autobiographical memoirs, along with family correspondence and papers, which include the memoirs of his mother, Grace Service, that Jack edited for publication.

Carton 1, Folder Interviews with Jack Service regarding Sarco, Inc. employment 1953 Sept. 56 Series 4 DEFENSE CASE 1941-1987 Physical Description: Carton 1, folders 57-61; Carton 2; Card File Boxes 1-2; Oversize Box 1, folders 7-13; Oversize Folders 3-4; Box 9 Arrangement Arranged mostly as received: either chronologically, and then alphabetically-or by type, and then alphabetically or chronologically, as appropriate. Divided into two sub-series: Research Files, which has been further divided into Indices, Notes and Summaries; China Reports; and Subject and People Files; and, Attorney Files. Scope and Content Note In 1950, when the Amerasia case resurfaced with McCarthy's charges, Service gathered a wide range of materials to construct his defense. Detailed indices, a chronology, lists of documents, notes on his reports, and excerpts from earlier memos were either created or assembled by Service. Copies of his China reports and U.S. Embassy despatches were assembled from a variety of sources. Field reports that had been returned to Service by the FBI in 1945 are also included here. Some years later, following the U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee's 1970 publication of The Amerasia Papers... with an introduction by Dr. Anthony Kubek, Service created files for topics and individuals to sort information relevant to the cases, and into these he added his own summaries and working notes, as well as correspondence, official reports, and newspaper and magazine clippings. Classified documents found in the collection were sent to the State Department for review; all were declassified and returned, and have been integrated into this series. Entire files that were sent have been stamped with the applicable declassification code; folders used when only a portion of the file contents were classified and sent for review have also been retained in the collection, since they too bear the applicable declassification stamps. These retain the original folder number with an added designation of "a" and are filed immediately after the folder in which the documents were originally filed.
