G. Edward Griffin - The Fearful Master - PDF Archive

Henry Julian Wadleigh: Wadleigh was in the trade agreements division of the State
Department. During the Hiss trial he admitted that he had been working for a Soviet spy
ring.
John Carter Vincent: As chief of the Chinese affairs division of the State Department,
Vincent was a member of the American delegation at the San Francisco conference. He
was also identified in sworn testimony as a member of the Communist party.
David Weintraub: Weintraub, who was in the Office of Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation
Operations, became the key figure in 1952 of a Senate investigation of Communist
infiltration into the American quota of United Nations employees. As the Senate committee
stated in its report Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments: "David Weintraub
occupied a unique position in setting up the structure of Communist penetration of
Government agencies by individuals who have been identified by witnesses as
underground agents of the Communist party." 18
Nathan Gregory Silvermaster: As a high-ranking officer of the Treasury Department,
Silvermaster was also head of one of the secret Communist cells under Elizabeth
Bentley's direction.
Harold Glasser: Glasser also came from the Treasury Department where he succeeded
Virginius Frank Coe as director of the division of monetary research. Glasser was the
Treasury spokesman on the affairs of United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration (UNRRA, the UN's first giveaway program of American money) and had a
predominant voice in determining which countries should receive aid and which should
not. Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers both revealed that Glasser was known to
them as a Communist agent.
Victor Perlo: Perlo was closely associated with Hiss in the Ware cell in the early days of
the New Deal. He later became the head of his own Communist cell under the direction of
Elizabeth Bentley.
Irving Kaplan: Kaplan was appointed to the Treasury Department by Virginius Frank Coe.
Later, he became a high level official in the UN office of the assistant secretary-general for
economic affairs. When called to the witness stand to testify during the Senate
investigation of the Institute of Pacific Relations, Kaplan sought refuge behind the Fifth
Amendment 244 times. David Weintraub helped him get his UN job.
William L. Ullman: A captain in the Air Force at the time, Ullman testified that he had been
borrowed by Harry Dexter White and taken as White's assistant to both the Bretton Woods
and San Francisco conferences. When asked whether or not he had ever been a
Communist or a spy, Ullman claimed the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination.
Lauchlin Currie: Currie was not included among the list of names at the beginning of this
chapter because he was in neither the State nor the Treasury departments. Nevertheless,
as a personal assistant and advisor to President Roosevelt he played a major role in
helping to formulate United States policy leading to the creation of the United Nations. He
was thoroughly exposed as a fellow traveler by both Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker
Chambers.
The whole ugly story of these men and their actions can be found in the Senate report on
the investigations of the IPR, the transcript of the Senate hearings on Activities of United
States Citizens Employed by the United Nations, and the report entitled Interlocking
