The Soviet Embassy pressed to hand over Samarin to Soviet consular authorities, a demand rejected by both the State Department and the congressional committee. The narrative centers on Lee, a 33-year-old former Rhodes scholar, who recalls meeting Miss Bentley in 1943 at Mary Price’s home, with Price linked to War Production Board and as secretary to columnist Walter Lippmann. Price later denied these statements in Greensboro, while heading Henry A. Wallace's Progressive party in North Carolina and alleging Bentley aimed to harm the party.
