r THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 194g PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. OREGON Parnell Requests : Condon s Records In Loyalty Case Washington, March 4 IP Gov ernment legal experts huddled , today on whether the commerce department should turn over its loyalty records on Dr. Edward U. , Condon to the house unAmcrlcan activities committee. A committee spokesman said he would "not be too surprised" if the department refused to give up Its records on Condon, tne , world-famous atomic physicist who now heads tne commerce de partment's bureau of standards. Condon has been accused by Chairman J. Parnell Thomas, R., N.J., and two members of his un American activities committee of ' associating with an alleged soviet spy while directing highly secret research on atomic energy and ra dar. Condon Denies Charges Condon, backed by his super iors, denied the charges. And the commerce department's loyalty board gave him complete clear ance! Thomas said he was unable to understand this decision in the face of the committee's evidence. He subpoenaed the department yesterday to turn over its records on Condon to the committee to morrow. Thomas said he wants to find out the basis of the board's ruling and to release the full text of an FBI letter on Condon's loy alty. Some government attorneys contend the committee has no right to make the department hand over the flies unless It wants to. There is even doubt, they said, that it legally could turn over confidential papers given It by other agencies. Letter Studied One paragraph of the letter, written by FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover to Secretary of commerce W. Averell Harriman last year, said Condon was in touch with an alleged Russian agent s late as 1947. . Thomas decided to release the text of the letter after commerce department sources claimed the committee had left out a key sen tence. The sentence reportedly said there was no evidence of dis loyalty in Condon's association with this individual. Soon They'll Be Security Bonds Merle E.
