Delayed Report on Communist Hunt Cited by DOJ Official
Washington December 30 A Justice Department official testified before a House subcommittee that a federal grand jury report on its search for Communist influence at the United Nations was delayed last fall to avoid political use. Roy M. Cohn said high level officials led by Attorney General McGranery ordered the delay, citing fears the report would be used as a political football before the presidential election. He named Charles Murray Deputy Attorney General Ross Malone and Myles Lane as participants and noted the delay persisted until December. The panel contemplates possible testimony from Secretary of State Acheson.
