Spy Hunters Go Underground as Witness Revealed
The House Un-American Activities Sub Committee went underground for a secret rendezvous with a mystery witness. Mundt said the testimony would prove a Communist spy ring reached high into the government during the war. The witness is described as obscure, with no clear public identity. The group planned to question the witness and return to Washington by Monday, signaling a broader push to crack the spying case in public hearings next week. The Senate committee continues hearings on loyalty programs, with Miss Elizabeth Bentley and Whitaker Chambers providing testimony on prewar Communist influence.
