House Probes Disposition of Secrets Case
The House Judiciary Committee was directed to investigate the handling of espionage charges tied to six individuals tied to wartime secret documents from the State, War, and Navy departments. The action centers on Jaffe, Mitchell, Service, Larson, Roth, and Gayn, with varied indictments and pleas including a Guilty by Jaffe and fines for Larson, Roth's indictment dismissed, and no action against Mitchell and Gayn. Service is in Tokyo serving on MacArthur's political advisory unit.
