Officials Concede Reds Still in High U.S. Spots
Washington —(U,P)— Responsible individuals here concede that Communist agents more likely than not are employed on sensitive government projects and that one or more spies doubtless remain on the public payroll.
It is reasonable to believe that several highly placed Communist agents are operating actively within the government structure.
Belief that the government still is seriously penetrated by Communist spies is based on deduction drawn from known facts. These facts include:
A top Communist objective now and for some time past has been to compel secret informers to confront the accused when government security or loyalty machinery begins to function. Some, perhaps many, of the loyalty accusations against government employees have come from BJ Plankton's Communist party. They are men and women who spy on the Communists for the United States government.
1. Positive evidence that the Communists have not eased off on their efforts to infiltrate the government, labor unions, key industries and vital institutions in general.
Not only Communists demand that these accusers be compelled to identify themselves and confront the accused. A great many citizens of
2. The vigorous and frequently successful Communist propaganda against government security and loyalty procedures.
the United States condemn the present practice of secrecy and it is possible that the loyalty and security procedures, including the question of confrontation, may be made a major political issue in next year's presidential election.
Granting the hazards to personal liberty of permitting an accuser to hide his name and face, the other side of the story is that United States Counter-Intelligence in this country against communism would be crippled badly if the accusers were unmasked.
The FBI does not find it an easy task to find citizens who are willing to sign on with the Communists for hazardous counter-espionage. When such are found, their standing in the Communist party and their knowledge of Communist plots and conspiracies increase, usually, only as the years pass and they become more and more firmly established as loyal comrades. The longer they are in, the more valuable they are.
It apparently is Communist theory that they have more pawns in such a game than does the FBI and that the supply of undercover operatives soon would be exhausted. The government sometimes decides to sacrifice an undercover operator if the gain is large enough.
