Truman Urged to Explain Soviet Agent Exit
Rep Velde of the un American Activities committee pressed President Truman to explain why Russian agent Andrei Schevchenko was allowed to leave the United States without prosecution. Witnesses testified that Schevchenko sought jet propulsion secrets from Bell Aircraft employees in 1944 and 1948, aided by FBI observers, and left in 1946 with no arrest. The panel also planned a closed session to question Frank Oppenheimer and to gather more details on the Berkeley radiation lab.
