Pro-Communist

Foreign Service Workers Ousted From Jobs

New York, Sept. 1.

Yv

The American China Policy Association called today for the dis- missal of any."pro-Communist” foreign service workers still in the State Department and the reinstatement of ousted or transferred "anti- Communists" prior to the Korean political conference.

The Association, a private organisation, expressed its views in a letter to Mr Walter S. Robertson, assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs.

1

The Association expressed fear that if any pro-Communist foreign ser vice officers remain “their advice may tend to weaken the hand of Ambassador (Henry Cabot) Lodge who must rely on them for detailed Far Eastern formation and analyses."

Referring to the "anti- Communists who were forced out of the Department in 1944 and 1945 by Dean Acheson and Alger Hiss" as testified by As- sistant Secretary Adolf Berlo and others transferred to ro- mate posts, the Association said, "We urged that they be brought back to Washington to Inkco over control from all those whose judgment and loyalty is questioned."
