Hoover To Give Answer On Files Senate Wants
Washington, March 27. —(U.P.) Senate investigators expected a flat turn-down from F.B.I. chief J. Edgar Hoover today on their request for a look at his top-secret loyalty files. In an almost unprecedented move, a foreign relations subcommittee summoned Mr. Hoover and Attorney General J. Howard McGrath to testify publicly on the files Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R.-Wis.), claims will back up his charge of Communist infiltration of the State department.
Mrs. Esther Caukin Brunauer, a State department policy advisor, was to answer Senator McCarthy's charges that she took part in Community front activities and might have a bad security risk. She called the curation to newspaper and asked for the opportunity to do so under oath.
Chairman Millard E. Tydings, (D.-Md.), scheduled a hearing later for Owen Lattimore, Far Eastern expert whom Senator McCarthy has labelled a long-time "pro-Communist" and collaborator with "those who have sworn to destroy the nation by force."
Radio commentator Drew Pearson identified Mr. Lattimore as the man Senator McCarthy has cited as Russia's "top espionage agent in the United States" and still "connected" with the State department. Senator McCarthy was not available for comment.
Mr. Lattimore, director of John Hopkins university's foreign relations school, now is in Kabul, Afghanistan, on an economic mission for the secretary general of the United Nations. The request that he be given a "full hearing" was made by the committee and John Hopkins Hopkins, Mr. Lattimore's wife also was reported to have asked that her husband be granted a hearing.
Senator McCarthy has given investigators the name of his number one "spy" in private, but has never mentioned it in senate speeches or in public appearances before the subcommittee. He has said in his claim that at least 57 card-carrying Communists infest the State department will "stand or fall" on this one case alone.
The Wisconsin Republican contends evidence to support his charges is in the files of the F.B.I. the State department's loyalty board and the Civil Service commission's top-level loyalty review board.
Mr. Hoover and Mr. McGrath were expected to advise the committee that the F.B.I. might be blocked in its future work if confidential F.B.I. informants are revealed.
Joyce Rohrer's Recital Lauded
By Dale S. Romig
It was gratifying to hear Joyce Rohrer in her senior recital Sunday. The program was one of the year's best.
Miss Rohrer's clear coloratura voice once made it apparent that I would not have to listen carefully but could just sit back and enjoy the recital. The clarity of her voice, the easy understanding, and her dramatic sense—all were combined to give the audience a really outstanding performance. Coloratus seem rare. Consequently, one of such quality as Miss Rohrer's, was a pleasant surprise.
For her major aria, Miss Rohrer chose "Qui La Voce" from the opera, "I Puritani" by Bellini, with a flute obligato by Mary Helen Rydene education junior. Skillfully done, the selection brought a rour of amplae.
"La Pastorella delle Alpi" by Rossini was done with an amazing pitch control. "L'Ete" by Chaminade, was another skillfully done coloratura piece. A tranquil rhapsody, "A des Oisenaux" by Hue, was sung with flute obligato. An amazing, witty piece entitled "Scena from 'The Telephone'" by Menotti added a light touch to the recital.
