Testimony Reveals
Service Had Access To
Confidential Files
WASHINGTON, UP) — A State
Department employee told Senate
investigators Tuesday that John
Stewart Service was given access
in 1948 to confidential files of
U.S. foreign personnel and spent
many hours with them.
Service, a veteran foreign ser
vice officer, was dismissed last
year after the government’s Loy
alty Review Board decided there
was a reasonable doubt as to his
loyalty. The review board over
ruled a contrary finding by the
State Department’s own loyalty
board.
He was one of Sen. McCarthy’s
targets in his 1950 charges that
the State Department was har
boring Communists and Commu
nist sympathizers.
Service has denied repeatedly
any Communists connections. *The
Loyalty Review Board, while rec
ommending he be fired, reported
it found no evidence that he had
been a member of the Communist
Party or any subversive organiza
tion. It held, however, that there
was a reasonable doubt as to his
loyalty in connection with what
it called disclosure <^f confidential
documents.
This was a reference to the
Amerasia case, in which large
numbers of State Department doc
uments were discovered by the
FBI in the New York offices of
the now-defunct magazine.
