'and his membership in the lntermtional Juridical J.8sociation as well as International Labor Defense. .1.ccording to the Civil service Commission, they have no further record of 1Dft'enthal l l5 employment. The Civil Service Canmission indicated that should the name of Lowenthal be aubnitted to them, the above information would be picked up in a search of t~ Civil service Commission files.

None. This is for your infonnation. However, it is suggested that the files of the Jrmy would possibly contain aoditional pert1nent information relative to Lowenthal in view of his having been employed on General Clay's starf 1n the • Occupied Zone in Germany.

"He was a man so powerful he protected Harry Dexter White. He planted men in the GovernD'1ent who are now proven traitors to the United States. He came within 60 seconds of convincing Harry Truman to wipe out the entire Government Loyalty program.

"This mystery man was Harry Tnunan's personal friend. A score of us know his name. So does the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 50 does the Justice DepartInent. So does the Civil Service Commission. Mr. Truman himself has said the man had great influence over him.

"Why donlt we name him publidy? We can't because the specific proof is in _Government files and the Federal files are White House property. They can prove it. Perhaps they will soon. We warned of White 15 year~ ago. Just as we're warning the nation about the mystery man today: Nobod~listened then."
