For the Record

One-time State Department aide Noel Field told AP correspondent Endre Marton (now a refugee) that he could not return to the United States because he was “involved” in the Alger Hiss case. Marton testified before the Internal Security Subcommittee that he saw Field and his wife Herta shortly after they were released from a Hungarian political prison three years ago. The Fields are still in Hungary. The Internal Security Subcommittee has suggested that the Subversive Activities Control Board study the newborn “American Forum for Socialist Education” and rule whether it is, or is not, a Communist front. The U.S.-Soviet cultural and technical exchange program—suspended last November — was formally resumed this month.

Senator John Butler of Maryland warned Administration leaders that the resumption of military aid to Yugoslavia would further imperil the foreign aid program…. Senator Knowland, opposing aid to Yugoslavia and Poland, and any lowering of barriers to trade with Communist China, said bluntly: “I do not favor taxing the American people to support Communist economic or political systems abroad.”… One group fighting the sale of surplus food to Poland is the Citizens Foreign Relations Committee (1 West 37th Street, New York City), which says U.S. food shipments to Poland are a “slap in the face to the freedom fighters of Hungary. “
