Editorial Correspondence
New York City, N. Y., Jan. 19 By the time this item is pub-ii.i-.j
,u. ui. vorHirt will undoubtedly be known. (For some rea
son it takes air mail four or five
where the time consumea usea to rje less man nun us tuiig.
haps our new postmaster can remedy thjs if he puts his hand to it!)
Since our last report the situation has changed considerably as
far as the Hiss outcome is concernea. inis is especially iruo m me
press-room down the hall. ... , . ,, .
Press men are sometimes sentimental and even idealistic about
their heroes and heroines but never about their betting where
real money is involved. .... ... .,
The odds are approximately 100 to 1 as of today regarding
acquittal. In other words the newspaper men think acquittal is
OUT they can t see such an outcome in view ot ine evidence in
this second trial.
They still regard a hung jury as possible, but no longer as
probable as It was a few days ago. In other words the rebuttal tes
timony of the government has been pretty devastating to the de
fense. Those who still believe disagreement probable can get odds
of two or three to one.
The majority opinion, in short, solidly backs conviction on
about the fifth ballot, and some are willing to give odds that it
will be on the first.
Sooooo
It may be interesting for the T-G syndicate to check the above
and figure out how the press boys came out in their predictions.
Incidentally while the N. Y. reporters earn two or three times as
much money as they did In "the good old days" they don t bet as
generously as thev used to. Five bucks are about the limit while
the average, we should guess, is one. Nor do they play as much
stud poker in recess periods.
We don't believe the press boys are wrong far wrong at
least. Most of them have attended this trial from the start, and the
first trial as well. None denies the government s case in the latter
has been materially stronger than in the former. We would still
regard a hung Jury as somewhat more probable than the press
room thinks; but with the summations still to go and Murphy is
conceded to be far stronger in this direction than Cross a convic
tion docs seem to be the most likely and fairly prompt outcome,
e e e e
The government's rebuttal testimony was damaging because
It did materially impair the testimony of the Hisses, particularly
Mrs. Hiss. And then Sen. John Foster Dulles came on and denied
the factual truth of some of Mr. Hiss' statements. While the sena
tor agreed he had, as Hiss had claimed, endorsed the defendant as
iinnrf nf I he rarnnelc foundation, and uo to the time of the trial
conceded his reputation for loyalty, veracity and integrity to be
excellent, he did not agree that Hiss had offered his resignation
first, but maintained ne nimseit naa in citect asueo ior u or at
least Intimated it would be sporting of Hiss to offer it. This was
not so vital except from the standpoint of the importance and pres
tige of former Senator Dulles the jury woke up when he took
the witness stand and were unusually attentive throughout so the
net result was a considerable moral defeat for the defense.
The testimony of a tcrt. sharo-volced. rather frail colored
woman who had been the Chambers domestic for a considerable
time 15 years ago was more damaging. Her name was Edith Mur
ray and she proved to be a valuable witness for the government.
Mr. and Mrs. Hiss had both declared the latter emphatically
they never visited the Chambers in Baltimore, while Mr. and Mrs.
Chambers claimed they had.
Mrs. Murray was very positive that the Chamberg told the
truth. She was a cook in the Chambers household when Mrs. Hiss
visited them In Baltimore at least "four times" and on one occa
sion SDent the night. She also said Mr. AND Mrs. Hiss visited the
Chambers once. She admitted that when the FBI first showed her
a picture of Mrs. Hiss she thought she was a movie actress, but
when Mrs. Hiss was brought to the U.S. federal court here In New
York all doubt wag removed, she recognized her as the person
who had visited the Chambers
Canlwell in Baltimore around
Attorney Cross worked hard
theme. Irvine time after time in
give the jury the impression that until the FBI showed her the
picture of Mrs. Hiss, this domestic did not know her, and her recol
lection was therefore synthetic. But he failed to get very far.
In this direction, as In so many others in this puzzling case,
we don't pretend to know the exact truth. But we do know be
yond any reasonable doubt that the JURY decided that in this
particular ease Mr. and Mrs. Hiss hart eitner forgotten tne incident
of 14 vears ago. or had not told the truth, while this colored maid
had. It was at any rate another ten-strike for Boxer Murphy and
bad news for the Hiss camp.
Speaking of-the "Hiss camp," there are plenty of charter mem
berg and very loyal ones. In fact say what you may about the
Hisses there can be no denial they have known how to make friends
and keep them. Mrs. Hiss was once a school-teacher in a well
known private school here in New York. We met one of her for
mer young boy pupils the other day member of a prominent DP
family from Austria. He was trying to get into the Hiss trial and
finally succeeded by some fast foot-and-mouth work. We talked
with him during the noon recess and he was not only absolutely
convinced of the innocence of Mrs. Hiss but was ready to fight and
die for her flawless reputation if called upon. All of her former
pupils and all the school faculty for that matter are equally loyal
or so he said and we don't doubt it.
We have met some college professors from Columbia and New
York university one of them a distant cousin and they are also a
unit solidly behind the Hisses. A few who have followed the two
trials closely admit to doubt as to acquittal, but they simply RE
FUSE to believe that Mr. and Mrs. Hiss could have been or are
guilty of the charges brought against them. "People like the Hisses
just don't DO such things," is their argument.
e
Meanwhile some close friends of the Hisses have been request
ing donations for a defense fund during the past few days, one
member of the Medford group having been solicited. The woman
who Bsked for aid is well known in New York and Connecticut, a
woman of unusual Intelligence, refinement and education. She ex
plained the Hisses have spent everything they have and have had to
go into debt to defray the immediate costs of this second trial
anything would be welcome from $5 to $500. She, too, had no
more doubt of the innocence of the Hisses, than she had of the
moral validity of the 10 Commandments. There must be hundreds
of people in New York who feel very much as she does. We fear
they are due for a severe disappointment this coming week-end!
e
Finally we have not changed the view expressed In this col
umn some time ago that Alger Hiss is innocent; OR is the greatest
actor since Edwin Booth and the greatest liar since Ananias.
We have observed him carefully during the past few trying
days trying for the defense at least. Not once, not even when
John Foster Dulles was testifying against him did Hiss show the
slightest perturbation, or was there any perceptible change from
his cool, calm, relaxed and perfectly poised demeanor.
When the former Chambers maid testified, Mrs. Hiss visibly
"froze" and when the maid in typical "darky" fashion, related
some incidents in a very amusing way, Mr. Hiss showed all his
strong, well-brryied teeth In a hearty grin, but not the trace of a
smile flickered over the countenance of his attractive young wife,
who early In the trial was described as a "Quaker Mona Lisa."
Her pale severe gravity was quite conspicuous for even the judge
smiled and several members of the jury had difficulty in maintain
ing their customary dignity. We wish the psychiatrists who report
ed on Chambers had also studied Alger Hiss. This much is certain
his powers of self-control (or dissembling) surpass anything along
that line your correspondent has ever seen in a court room! It sure
ly isn't, EXCEPT on the assumption of innocence, NORMAL!

lomat, who served as secretary
of state for one year under
President Wilson, included the
present crisis in Asia among the
"subsequent troubles" resulting
from Soviet recognition.
Favors Strong Stand
Colby favored a strong U.
stand against the maltreatment
of Americans abroad, such as
the communists' imprisonment
and trial of Angus Ward, consul
general at Mukden, Manchuria.
As a guide, he cited the words
of William Learned Marcy, who
served as secretary of state
from 1853 through 1857:
"I deem it my duty to make
the United States respectable
and respected throughout the
world."
Colby recalled that Russia's
first bid for U. S. recognition
was rejected during his tenure
as secretary of state.
Request Ignored
Moscow sent a representative
to the United States in 1919 to
seek recognition but its request
was ignored for more than a
year. When the major European
powers asked this country for
its views on the subject, Colby
stated them in full in a note
handed the Italian ambassador
here on Aug. 10, 1920.
His views, which closely par
allel those held by many Amer
ican leaders today, were that:
"It Is not possible for the gov
ernment of the United States to
recognize the present rulers of
Russia as a government with
which the relations common to
friendly governments can be
maintained."
Aim Explained
His note said the red regime
"has for its openly avowed aim
the promotion of Bolshevist rev
olutions throughout the world,"
and that it intended to use its
diplomatic corps as a "channel
for intrigues and propaganda of
revolt."
The Soviet government, he
said, was based "upon the nega
tion of every principle of honor
and good faith . . . underlying
the whole structure of interna
tional law."
