Ex Red Says He Handled Secret Work for Army
Former Communist Peter A. Gragis testified before Senator McCarthy that he was a party member from 1936 to 1950 while employed at Federal Telecommunications Laboratories in Nutley New Jersey. He claimed access to classified documents but said he did not work on confidential projects, except on a top secret Mark V Project while seconded to Hazeltipe Electronics. Gragis identified Frank McGee as a Communist. The hearing shaded light on radar lab security at Ft Monmouth and raised contempt questions against witness Belsky who refused to answer loyalty questions.
