    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Labor Series ROBERT GOLDBERG Interviewed by: Morris Weisz Initial interview date: January 16, 1997 Copyright 2016 ADST [Note: This interview was not edited by Mr. Goldberg] Q: This is Morris Weiss. The date is Thursday, January 16, 1997. I will be conducting an interview with Robert, known as “Bobby,” Goldberg, the son of Arthur Goldberg, which will be focused on those aspects of Arthur Goldberg’s career, which predated the end of the war, when he was in charge of the Labor desk of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services). In that connection, he dropped various agents of the United States, behind enemy lines, so that they can conduct activities that were so important to the government at that period. A rainbow was an important aspect of the working that was being done by the OSS. The purpose of this interview is to go over those aspects of Arthur Goldberg’s career, which will open up opportunities for Robert, (I’m afraid I will be referring to him as “Bobby,” because everybody does) to assist him in looking into the law career of his father from the Trade Union Movement, as a prominent attorney, and as a representative of the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) and the successful negotiations for unity between the AFL(American Federation of Labor) and the CIO. Various records are now becoming available which will enable Bobby to get the facts that are necessary for his interviews, and I will be referring to sources of material, as well as my own recollections that will assist Robert in his investigations.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: from the BELLY of the HUAC: the RED PROBES of HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philos

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE BELLY OF THE HUAC: THE RED PROBES OF HOLLYWOOD, 1947-1952 Jack D. Meeks, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Dr. Maurine Beasley, Journalism The House Un-American Activities Committee, popularly known as the HUAC, conducted two investigations of the movie industry, in 1947 and again in 1951-1952. The goal was to determine the extent of communist infiltration in Hollywood and whether communist propaganda had made it into American movies. The spotlight that the HUAC shone on Tinsel Town led to the blacklisting of approximately 300 Hollywood professionals. This, along with the HUAC’s insistence that witnesses testifying under oath identify others that they knew to be communists, contributed to the Committee’s notoriety. Until now, historians have concentrated on offering accounts of the HUAC’s practice of naming names, its scrutiny of movies for propaganda, and its intervention in Hollywood union disputes. The HUAC’s sealed files were first opened to scholars in 2001. This study is the first to draw extensively on these newly available documents in an effort to reevaluate the HUAC’s Hollywood probes. This study assesses four areas in which the new evidence indicates significant, fresh findings. First, a detailed analysis of the Committee’s investigatory methods reveals that most of the HUAC’s information came from a careful, on-going analysis of the communist press, rather than techniques such as surveillance, wiretaps and other cloak and dagger activities. Second, the evidence shows the crucial role played by two brothers, both German communists living as refugees in America during World War II, in motivating the Committee to launch its first Hollywood probe.

    CHAPTER 2 the VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security

    CHAPTER 2 THE VITAL FUNCTION: World War II and Diplomatic Security CHAPTER 2 8 THE VITAL FUNCTION World War II and Diplomatic Security The experiences of the World War II era (1933-1945) expanded and solidified diplomatic security as a vital function of the Department of State. From the first days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency, the Department faced grave threats to U.S. diplomacy, primarily from Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan. As a result, the Department broadened its definition of security and expanded the number of entities monitoring and enforcing security. The Department’s new, expanded security apparatus under President Roosevelt, however, was disjointed. Security responsibilities were dispersed across multiple offices with overlapping jurisdictions. Moreover, the Office of the Chief Special Agent, which had handled security since World War I, often was not involved in many of the new security measures. By the end of World War II, the Department was implementing security in a more extensive, formalized manner that touched and altered every level of the Department’s operations. In fact, many security measures first implemented during World War II—such as coded ID badges, formal document classification procedures, and a courier network—are today accepted as part of the Department’s normal, daily routine. Moscow and Berlin When Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed the Presidency in March 1933, the Department of State faced diplomatic security threats from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Throughout the 1930s, the regimes of both nations respectively targeted the U.S. Embassies in Berlin and Moscow for espionage. Security problems at the U.S.

    Harry Dexter White, Arguably the Most Important US Government Economist of the 20 Century, Acquired a Bifurcated Reputati

    - 3 - 1_ INTRODUCTION Harry Dexter White, arguably the most important U.S. government economist of the 20th century, acquired a bifurcated reputation by thc end of his short life in 1948. On the positive side, he was recognized along with John Maynard Keynes as the architect of the postwar international economic system. On the negative, he was accused of betraying U.S. national interests and spying for the Soviet Union before and during World War II. Although he was never charged with a crime and defended himself successfully both before a federal Grand Jury and through open testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), the accusations were revived five years later, in the late stages of the McCarthy era, and never quite died away. Four recently published books have revived the espionage charges against White.' The new allegations are based primarily on a series of cables sent between Soviet intelligence agents in the United States and Moscow. Many of those cables were intercepted by U.S. intelligence, were partially decoded in the years after the war through the then-secret and now famous VENONA project,3 and have recently been declassified and released to the public. Selected other cables and documents from the Soviet-era KGB files were made available for a fee to two writers, Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev, by the Russian government. Far more extensive data from those files were smuggled out of Russia in the 1990s by a former agent, Vasili Mitrokhin. On first reading, these various releases appear to offer damning new evidence.

    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.
