  • Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960
    Soviet Spies and the Fear of Communism in America Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960 Mémoire Brigitte Rainville Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Brigitte Rainville, 2013 Résumé Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence la réaction des membres du Congrès des États-Unis dans le cadre de l'affaire Alger Hiss de 1948 à 1960. Selon notre source principale, le Congressional Record, nous avons pu faire ressortir les divergences d'opinions qui existaient entre les partisans des partis démocrate et républicain. En ce qui concerne les démocrates du Nord, nous avons établi leur tendance à nier le fait de l'infiltration soviétique dans le département d'État américain. De leur côté, les républicains ont profité du cas de Hiss pour démontrer l'incompétence du président Truman dans la gestion des affaires d'État. Il est intéressant de noter que, à la suite de l'avènement du républicain Dwight D. Eisenhower à la présidence en 1953, un changement marqué d'opinions quant à l'affaire Hiss s'opère ainsi que l'attitude des deux partis envers le communisme. Les démocrates, en fait, se mettent à accuser l'administration en place d'inaptitude dans l'éradication des espions et des communistes. En ayant recours à une stratégie similaire à celle utilisée par les républicains à l'époque Truman, ceux-ci n'entachent toutefois guère la réputation d'Eisenhower. Nous terminons en montrant que le nom d'Alger Hiss, vers la fin de la présidence Eisenhower, s'avère le symbole de la corruption soviétique et de l'espionnage durant cette période marquante de la Guerre Froide.

When the Bolshevik Revolution of 1921 brought the communist party to power in Russia, the United States government did not recognize the new regime. The communist ideologies of the newly established state did not line up well with the democratic ideals of the United States. These new communist principles threatened the strength of the American system, as labor disputes and the Great Depression gave citizens reason to question capitalism’s effectiveness. The fear of this system grew as the world progressed through the twentieth century when the Soviet Union shifted from ally to enemy in all but a few years.

This is the Acheson, ladies and gentlemen, who in 1939 – that’s over 10 years ago – that’s before Hiss had done all of his damage at Yalta, before all of his treasonable activities in the State Department, when Whittaker Chambers named him as part of his espionage ring. Then Adolph Berle, the undersecretary, went to Acheson. He said how about this? What should we do? Here is one of our top men named as a member of an espionage ring. And what do you think Acheson said? We can quote him. He said “Don’t investigate Hiss. I will vouch for him completely.” The other Hiss brother also was named – Donald Hiss. Where do you think Donald Hiss is today? Donald Hiss is in the Acheson law firm as of tonight. This is the, this is the same Hiss -- this is the same Acheson -- who said about Hiss after Hiss’s conviction, after ten years of treasonable activity, he said I will never turn my back on Alger Hiss. That wouldn’t be so bad if that were merely an expression about this one traitor, but ladies and gentlemen, that was, that was a notification to all of the Hisses, all of the Marzanis, all of the Wadleighs, all of the Remingtons, that when they were caught that then their boss’s back would not be turned upon them either.

  • Jowitt: the Strange Case of Alger Hiss
    REVIEWS THE STRANGE CASE OF ALGER HISS. By The Earl Jowitt. New York: Doubleday & Company, 1953. Pp. 380. $3.95. WHILE the jury's verdict in the second Hiss case 1 decisively settled the defendant's fate, 2 it has by no means settled the question of his guilt or inno- cence in the minds of those who are either convinced of his innocence or have serious doubts about his guilt. There is no reason why it should have. No one would assert that the jury's verdict on the evidence before it was in- fallible.3 Moreover, there is a good bit of evidence about the case which- though such "as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion" 4 - was not submitted to the jury, either because not admissible under the applicable rules of evidence or because it did not come to light until after the trial was concluded. This is not to say that all those who disagree with the jury base their dis- agreement on a consideration of all the evidence. There are some whose dis- agreement seems to be based on little or nothing more than an unshakeable faith in the defendant. And, in any event, much of the evidence has not been readily available to all who wish to form their own opinion about the case. Whittaker Chambers' version of that evidence has been twice presented- once by Lasky and de Toledano r and once by Chambers himself.0 Alistair Cooke has contributed his book 7 which, though a considerable improvement over the daily newspaper reports which accompanied the trial,8 is still a jour- nalist's account.

  • Mac Converted Qk File
    Venona and Alger Hiss JOHN LOWENTHAL Alger Hiss, the American diplomat tried in a US federal district court in New York and convicted in 1950 of perjury, remains a disputed icon of the Cold War, representing either infiltration of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations by Communist spies or an historic miscarriage of justice. This article shows that a ‘Venona’ document released by the US and the UK in 1996 tentatively identifying Hiss as an espionage agent is erroneous and irreconcilable with the evidence presented by the US at Hiss’s trials; that KGB documents have been misconstrued as supporting the identification; and that another Venona document tends to exonerate rather than to implicate Hiss. Venona errors regarding Hiss raise questions about the accuracy and reliability of the entire Venona process and its products. The other curious thing about the Hiss case is the psychology of believing that Hiss was a spy, which requires abandoning much of what we know about rational thought. – Molly Ivins, columnist (1996)1 The Hiss case blazed into public life in 1948 and promptly became an icon of the Cold War in America. It catapulted Richard Nixon all the way to the presidency, two decades later. It sundered the nation along fault lines of ideology, politics, and class.2 The power and reach of its political consequences have outlived the Cold War: half a century after it erupted before a congressional committee, the case contributed to sinking one of President Clinton’s major appointments when a key senator declared, ‘I would find it very difficult to support a nominee for Director of the CIA who did not believe that Alger Hiss was a spy.’3 The case is still hotly disputed in America and England, where the release in 1996 of ‘Venona’ messages – Soviet cablegrams covertly monitored by the US Army during World War II – have added fuel to the fire.

  • Cold War Counterintelligence
    CHAPTER 1 Cold War Counterintelligence Introduction The distinguished American historian Richard Hofstadter suggested that periodically in American history, during times of great worry, many individuals turn to “conspiracy theories” to explain away their anxieties. The early post–World War II scene was such a period. To some Americans, President Franklin Roosevelt sold out the European nations that fell victim to the Communists. The peace that Americans expected after fighting the Nazi attempt to subvert the European continent was not there. Unable to rationally explain why they failed to achieve any security, the American public believed the answer was the result of widespread treason and subversion within the nation. President Harry Truman was bogged down in Korea but unwilling to commit the resources to win because the United States had to build up NATO to defend Europe. Because of Truman’s actions in promoting loyalty oaths for the US Government, some rightwing Republicans in Congress accused the Democrats of being soft on Communism. If there were indeed traitors in the country, then the Democratic Party was responsible for them because they had controlled the government since 1932. In 1948, Whittaker Chambers, a journalist who admitted he was a Communist Party member and Soviet spy, accused Alger Hiss, a middle-level aide to President Roosevelt, as having provided classified documents to the Soviets. The case might have faded into the dustpan of history except that Hiss lied about knowing Chambers. Caught in that lie he was convicted of perjury. Elizabeth Bentley, another former Soviet spy, also came forward at this time with her story of Soviet intelligence penetration of the government.

THE HISS-CHAMBERS LIBEL SUIT* WILLIAM L. MARBURY** On the 3rd day of August, 1948, The Baltimore Evening papers carried scare headlines announcing that at a hearing before the Un- American Activities Committee of the House of Representatives, Alger Hiss, then President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and his brother, Donald, then a partner in the Washington law firm of Covington and Burling, along with Harold Ware, Lee Pressman and a number of others had been identified by a man named Whittaker Chambers as members of an "apparatus" of the Communist Party which operated in Washington, D.C. during the years 1934 to 1938. The next morning I wrote to Donald Hiss as follows: "Dear Donie: If you and Alger are party members, then you can send me an application." I sent a copy of this letter to Alger Hiss, saying: "I know that you will have received offers from hundreds of friends who can do much more for you than I.
