UP RED CHARGE

Thomas Calls for Cleaning Of State Department.

WASHINGTON, March 29.—Rep. J. Parnell Thomas (R. N. J,) stood pat today on his charge that a high aide to Assistant Secretary of State Spruille Braden was once a Soviet agent. .

He said he had evidence to back up his statement that Gustavo Duran, Mr, Braden's special assistanf ‘was known during the Spanish civil war as a Communist, a mems= ber. of the Comintern and “an agent of the Russian secret police.” Rep, Thomas made his original charge on the house floor yesterday, bringing from Mr. Braden a

prompt reply that the accusation |

was ‘completely. false.” “Mr, Duran had nothing whatsoever to do with the Russians or Russian agents in any way, shape or form,” Mr,” Braden said.

House-cleaning Proposed Informed of Mr, Braden's statement, Mr, Thomas said that it was Mr. Braden and not he who was “badly ‘ misled.” Mr. Thomas said the house un-American activities committee, of which he is a member, had proof of the charge and hinted that more committee statements along the'same line may be expected. “The state department has a house cleaning job to do,” he said. “They better get started before next week.” Thomas refused .to amplify his statement, But he said that Louis Budenz, who recently quit the Communist party and the staff of the Communist Daily Worker to join the faculty of Notre Dame university, was scheduled to appear before the committee next Tuesday. Braden said Thomas’ statement was “completely false.” While Duran did serve in the loyalist army, he said, he served as a lieutenant colonel,
