The Church of Canada urged U S leaders to halt political fear tactics after Herbert Norman, the Canadian ambassador in Berlin, died by his own actions. It blamed U S Senate subcommittee hearings accusing him of communist links and called for an emergency gathering of church councils to prevent future incidents. Norman, from a family with mission work in Japan, had been cleared by Canada after a security check.
Norman, Canada’s ambassador to Japan and the United Nations, died after a nervous collapse amid renewed accusations of loyalty questions. Prime Minister Pearson said the stress from lingering publicity contributed to his death, while opposition leader Diefenbaker blamed pressure from Washington pressuring public servants. Norman had a long career in foreign affairs, with key roles in Canada’s UN delegation and the Japanese peace conference in San Francisco.
Senate Internal Security subcommittee vowed to press the Communist activity inquiry in the United States despite the death by suicide of Canadian Ambassador Norman. The panel issued a statement from Chairman James O. Eastland and Sen. William Jenner, with four members adding their support, asserting they would not abandon their obligation to report to the Senate. The session touched on foreign nationals, Canadian elections, and the alleged Communist links raised in the March 12 transcript, with officials noting prior investigations and discussing testimony from John Emmerson and other diplomats.
The subcommittee heard security reports claiming Norman is not a Communist. Emerson said he cannot recall discussions indicating Communist ties. The subcommittee released testimony March 14 and two days later the State Department affirmed confidence in Canada’s selection of official Canadian representatives.
