Communist Spy Names White House Aide as Contact
Washington July 31 ex Soviet agent Elizabeth Bentley named Lauchlin Currie and Harry Dexter White as two sources of wartime secrets for the Russians. Bentley testified before the House Un American Activities Committee saying Currie provided inside information on U S policies and that White, linked to the Silvermaster group, relayed intelligence to the Russians. She indicated Currie was not a Communist but supplied information and that codebreaking secrets would have let the U S read Soviet dispatches. Bentley suggested pursuing a grand jury to consider prosecutions.

Washington July 31 The Senate inquiry heard that William Remington was offered an Atomic Energy Commission post while the FBI investigated his alleged Soviet ties.
