Budenz Testimony Links Lattimore To Red Agents
Senate testimony by Louis Budenz ties Johns Hopkins professor Lattimore to two men described as Soviet agents within the Institute of Pacific Relations. Budenz, a former Communist, claimed Lattimore aided a Communist cell at the institute, while Lattimore denied any Communist ties. The hearing, part of McCarthy era probes, featured Lattimore and his lawyers nearby as Budenz testified under oath. The institute was said to lack Communist status but housed a cell with influence at one time.
