This was explained by several
facts: the Territory has increased

two- more teachers have been
added and the territorial refund
has been decreased from 80 per
cent to 75 per cent.

Ex-White House
Employe Refuses
Testify He Is Red
j
WASHINGTON, (#) — A one
time White House employe re
fused to say whether he had pass
ed secret government documents
to an acknowledged former Soviet
spy courier. He did say he never
engaged in espionage against this
country.
The witness was Julius J. Jo
seph of New York City, an asso
ciate economist for the National
Resources Planning Board at the
White House in 1940 and 1941,
and a member of the wartime Of*.
fice of Strategic Services _ the
hush-hush OSS—from 1943 thru
mid-1945.
Joseph refused to say whether
he is a Communist. He accused
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee, before which he ap
peared, of asking him questions
at its public hearing that “are
not American.”
He assailed but did not deny the
testimony of Miss Elizabeth Bent
ley, acknowledged former spy
courier, who had named him as
a member of a Soviet spy ri#g.
Joseph termed Miss Bentley “a
professional witness” which he
defined as one “who commercial
izes on the general pattern of fear,
of hysteria.”
He said he never has denied
her testimony under oath, and de
clined again to say whether she
spoke the truth in telling the sub
committee last year that as a sol
dier in 1943 Joseph “pulled
strings through a friend” and got
himself assigned to OSS.
There, she then said, he served
in “the hush-hush Japanese divi
sion which was right next to the
Russian division” in order to keep
track of what this country was
learning about the Communists.
Atty Gen. Orders Grand
Jury Investigation of
N.Y. Waterfront Scandals
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Attorney
General Brownell Tuesday order
ed a New York grand jury in
vestigation of waterfront scandals.
The attorney general said he
has instructed U.S. Attorney Ed
ward Lumbard of New York City
to present before a jury there the
evidence which some 150 FBI
agents have been gathering for
the last several months on crime
along the New York-New Jersey
waterfront.
Brownell referred to the water
front situation, which was a sub
ject of prolonged inquiry by the
New York State Crime Commis
sion, and by a congressional com
mittee, as involving ‘‘shocking
evils.”
Testimony before the state com
mission developed evidence of
terror, murder and collusion in
volving political, labor union and
shipping interests.
The FBI investigation was or
iginally authorized by former At
torney General James P. McGran
ery last December, and Brownell
said the probe “has become a
major project in the Department
of Justice.”
