Witness Denies Spying at Senate Hearing
Soviet spy allegations dominated a House I American Activities Committee hearing as Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley testified. Silvermaster denied being a foreign agent, but said officials once urged his removal from government service and refused to answer if he ever met a Communist. He read a prepared statement denying charges as Bentley linked him to a Soviet spy ring and a secret basement photography operation. The witness asserted his loyalty and invoked the fifth amendment to avoid further testimony. The committee planned to hear Alger Hiss next.
