Free on Bail After 2d Jury Agrees on Guilt

‘Keep Your Chin Up,’ Former FDR Aid Admonishes Wife NEW YORK, Jan. 21 (UP), —Alger Hiss refused to come ment on his conviction for perjury today by a federal jury. But his lawyer at once announced . “it certainly will be appealed.” The jury decided Hiss once betrayed his country to a Commune ist spy ring when he held a post of trust in the State Department. The jury of eight women and four men reached its verdict 23 hours and 38 minutes after it went out in this second trial of the 45-year-old “career man” who had risen through the government to a post as advisor to President Roosevelt at Yalta. The first trial ended in a hung jury. His second jury found him guilty on both perjury counts— that he had lied when he denied he served a Communist network

He could now keep busy for some time just memorizing 200 boards, bureaus, commissions,

committees, councils, departments and divisions he would have to!
