The American Activities Committee pressed claims of a link between Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers over a Montgomery County farm near Westminster Maryland. Witnesses testified Chambers said Hiss drove him to the farm in 1946 and made a down payment, while Chambers later bought it himself. The panel questioned witnesses about a 1936 Ford tied to possible Communist activity and pursued discrepancies in their past relations. Further testimony is expected as investigators seek a decisive link in the case.
