Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States of America, Against Alger Hiss, Defendant: Supplemental Affidavits in Support of Motion for New Trial In the light of all these considerations, and bearing in mind that the expert who before the trials had identified the machine for the defense had rested his opinion on identical peculiarities in only three characters, apparently without consideration of the possibility of a deliberately fabricated machine, I determined to make a thorough study of the authenticity of Woodstock That study has produced results which are startling, so far as they go. Admittedly, for reasons described below, they do not go far enough to demonstrate with any certainty that is a fabrication; but I believe that they go far enough to cast serious doubt on its authenticity, and to justify calling upon the Court for its aid in supplying the missing links in the chain of evidence.

Feehan, testified at the trial that in his Opinion the typed Baltimore Documents (except No. 10) were typed on the same machine as had been used for four personal communications unquestionably typed on the machine owned by the Hisses in the early 1930's. Mrs. Hiss denied that she had typed the Baltimore Documents, and Alger Hiss that he had given them to Chambers; but there was no defense testimony offered to dispute the expert opinion that the Hiss machine had been used for the purpose. The defense had no reasonable basis at that time for questioning the expert's Opinion that, if two typed documents Show a certain number of identical peculiarities of type impression, it must follow that the two documents were typed on the same machine.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of the Hiss trials and his testimony before the House Committee on Un-American Activities *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "I am amazed; until the day I die I shall wonder how Whittaker Chambers got into my house to use my typewriter." - Alger Hiss "We won the Hiss case in the papers. We did. I had to leak stuff all over the place. Because the Justice Department would not prosecute it. Hoover didn't even cooperate.... It was won in the papers. I leaked out the papers.... I leaked out the testimony. I had Hiss convicted before he ever got to the grand jury.... Go back and read the chapter on the Hiss case in Six Crises and you'll see how it was done. It wasn't done waiting for the goddamn courts or the attorney general or the FBI." - Richard Nixon Shortly after World War II, Congress' House Committee on Un-American Activities began investigating Americans across the country for suspected ties to Communism. The most famous victims of these witch hunts were Hollywood actors, such as Charlie Chaplin, whose "Un-American activity" was being neutral at the beginning of World War II, but at the beginning of the Cold War, many Americans had the Red Scare, and Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy would make waves in 1950 by telling the Republican Women's Club in Wheeling, West Virginia that he had a list of dozens of known Communists working in the State Department. The political theater helped Senator McCarthy become the prominent anti-Communist crusader in the government, and McCarthy continued to claim he held evidence suggesting Communist infiltration throughout the government, but anytime he was pressed to produce his evidence, McCarthy would not name names. Instead, he'd accuse those who questioned his evidence of being Communists themselves. Among the people called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, none are as controversial as Alger Hiss. Hiss had graduated from Harvard Law, after which he worked as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, worked in the Roosevelt administration for the Agricultural Adjustment Association, and was Head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. That background didn't exactly sound like one held by a Soviet spy, let alone a Communist, but Elizabeth Bentley, a former Communist, notified the Committee about a suspected spy ring and named several names, including Hiss. More notably, Hiss was also accused of being a Communist and Soviet spy by an admitted Communist, Whittaker Chambers. The Hiss case came at a time when the Committee was populated by right-wing zealots, including a young Congressman from California named Richard Nixon. Decorum was in scarce supply, and "Hiss was everything Nixon despised...wealthy, liberal, educated and handsome." Although Hiss was believed at first and Nixon was cast as the public villain for doggedly questioning him over Communist ties, Chambers eventually produced State Department documents typed on Hiss's typewriter, and Hiss was forced to admit that he previously knew and had associated with Chambers, who had renounced his Communism and had become editor of Time Magazine. Though the FBI and the Committee were never able to prove Hiss was a spy, they were able to get Hiss on a charge of perjury, for which he was sentenced to five years in prison, and the conviction of Hiss added to the luster of Nixon's anti-communist credentials. To this day, controversy still swirls over whether Hiss was actually a Soviet spy. Hiss claimed he was innocent of the charges his entire life, but the authors of Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America strongly assert Hiss was actually a spy, writing that "continued claims for Hiss's innocence are akin to a terminal case of ideological blindness." Conversely, others have cited lack of hard evidence and available Soviet documents to make definitive conclusions.

Download or read book Alger Hiss written by Christina Shelton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948, former U.S. State Department official Alger Hiss was accused of being a Soviet spy. Because the statute of limitations on espionage had run out, he was convicted only of perjury. Decades later—after the Hiss trial had been long forgotten by most—archival evidence surfaced confirming the accusations: a public servant with access to classified documents had indeed passed crucial information to the Soviets for more than a decade. Yet many on the American Left still consider Hiss an iconic figure—an innocent victim accused of unsubstantiated crimes. They prefer to focus on the collectivist ideals Hiss stood for, rather than confront the reality of a man who systematically and methodically betrayed his country. Former U.S. Intelligence analyst Christina Shelton employs an in-depth knowledge of Soviet intelligence affairs as well as recently released Hungarian and KGB archival material to shine a fresh light on one of the most famous espionage cases. The story is dramatic, but Shelton’s analysis goes beyond sensationalism as she explores both the ideological motivation behind Hiss’s behavior and the lasting influence it has had on U.S. foreign policy. Why exactly were the intellectual elite so deter-mined that Hiss was innocent? His accuser, Time magazine senior editor Whittaker Chambers—originally Hiss’s Soviet handler—presented compelling written evidence. However, the intelligentsia were intent on supporting one of their own. They ignored the facts, a willful blindness that helped contribute to a polarization still in place in our country today. Thirty years of intelligence analysis gives Shelton the expertise to approach the story from many different angles, especially: • Her persuasive argument that Communism and Fascism are not polar opposites, as has so long been claimed, but highly similar ideologies. • How Hiss’s central role at the Yalta Conference and the founding of the United Nations are examples of the significance of Soviet intelligence recruitment of high-level Americans who could influence U.S. foreign policy in their favor. • Why the silence surrounding the implications of Hiss’s espionage continues—and why apologists fear that smearing his name would undercut New Deal policies and the United Nations. Shelton doesn’t just detail the body of evidence pointing to Hiss’s guilt; she suggests new layers of meaning in light of the current political landscape. Today, the importance of understanding Hiss’s ideological commitment has never been more vital. His advocacy of collectivism and internationalism still resonate among the political elite, making this book an important and timely analysis of American thought at this critical juncture in our country’s life.
