Charges’ 'Whitewashi

PRO-RED BLOC UNMENTIONED

oh oN CONSPIRACY

Ex-Federal “Worl Worker* Says Group Forced Grew, i Hurley to Resign.

By FREDERICK WOLTMAN Scripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK, Sept, 16.—The sen= sational charge that there was “a mysterious whitewash of the chief actors” in “the now-famous state department espionage case which shook the nation” in June, 1945, was made today by one of the six persons arrested by the FBI.

Behind the subsequent fiasco of the government's case, he declared, was a well-organized and successful campaign inside the state department to shift America’s Far Eastern policy to a pro-Soviet line. ‘These charges were made by Emanuel Siguard Larsen, Chinese expert for the state department until his arrest in what the department of justice called a conspiracy to take numerous top-secret wartime documents from the state, navy, war and other government departments. Mr. Larsen pleaded nolo contendre and was fined $500. The chief efendant, Philip J. Jaffe, pleaded Ity to the charges contained in an indictment by the grand jury of the District of Columbia and was fined $2500. The charges against the remaining four were dropped.

Developments Not Explained

Closely interlaced with the case, Mr. Larsen said, were “many sensational though little~explained developments, such as the Gen. Stilwell affair, the resignation of Undersecretary Joseph C. Grew and Ambassador to China Patrick Hurley, and the emergence of a proSoviet bloc in the Far Eastern division of the state department.” After “many months of plodding investigation . . . to establish my innocence,” he concluded that “further probing . . . might assume proportions even more. far-reaching than those of ‘the Pearl Harbor investigation.” { Mr. Larsen’s inside story of the

: case appeared today in the first

rd

Issue of the magazine, Plain Talk. It confirms articles published in Scripps-Howard newspaper after the FBI arrests on June 6, 1945, Official Papers Burned “When word of our arrests had spread through Washington,” Mr. Larsen: declared in Plain" Talk, “there was general burning of official papers, taken home innocently or otherwise, all over the capital” In his personal investigation, Mr. arserf’ disclosed, he collaborated with Rep. Dondero (R. Mich.), who was responsible for the creation of a special house committee which is now inquiring into the disposition of the-case by the justice department. Z : Some months prior to their arrests, Mr. Larsen maintained, he established an innocent association with the principal defendant, Mr. Jaffe, who edited a pro-Soviet magazine on the Far East, Amerasia. They exchanged biographical data on Chinese personalities, After his arrest and when he found himself in straitened circumstances, Mr. Larsen wrote in Plain Talk, it was Mr. Jaffe, a prosperous New York businessman, who eventually paid his fine and expenses in the case. They totaled $3000. 100 Documents Found

During the FBI raid on the Amerasia office, agents found more than 100 files of confidential government documents, according to Mr, Larsen. They also discovered a large photo-copying department, although the magazine had only a small circulation. Prior to the arrests, Mr. Jaffe had dealings with Earl Browder, then head of the Communist party, the Plain Tdlk article revealed. Until they resigned, said Mr. Larsen, Undersecretary Grew and Ambassador Hurley were objects of attack and villification “by , the Jaffe-Amerasia group and by the pro-Soviet contingent in the state department.

All Evidence Not Heard

During his final conference with Mr. Jaffe last October, wrote Mr. Larsen, Jaffe said: “Well, we've suffered a lot, but anyhow, we got Grew out.” In describing the strange course of the espionage case, Mr. Larsen wrote: “For some unaccountable reasons, the government attorneys presented to the grand jury only part of the evidence in their (the FBI's) possession. “At the same time, Congressman Emanuel Cellar of New York interested himself in the defense of the New York figures involved. To wha! ' tent he exerted his influenc B never been determined.”
