WASHINGTON—(AP)—A mysterious "Internationally famous" case supposed to be involved in the Amerasia case was tossed to newsmen as headline bait by Bank Bielaski, former OSS agent, this week. It made headlines, all right, but Senator Tydings of Maryland immediately countered that the new mystery man had nothing to do with the case. In order to clear up the mystery, this column has investigated exactly what Bielaski testified be- It was also pointed out that the Justice Department couldn't prosecute the Amerasia case, because Bielaski seized the documents illegally. This led to a clash between Republican Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and Democratic Senator McMahon of Connecticut. Illegal Entry Lodge brought it up by asking Bielaski: "Under what authority did you conduct the raid on the Amerasia office?" "I didn't ask for authority at the moment, Senator," confessed Bielaski, "But since, I have thought over the legal position, and I understand that the OSS was created by executive order into the argument, reading from the Constitution. "The right of people to be secure in their persons, houses and papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizure shall not be violated," he quoted. "Of course my friend from Connecticut knows that if that had been followed, it would be impossible to protect ourselves," retorted Lodge. "Let's get this straight," snapped McMahon. "This case is now up against a legal proposition—in other words, the question of whether or not you can use the evidence that is illegally obtained." "You can't use it," admitted cannot sustain any conviction upon evidence that waived or seized contrary to institution. No president body else has got the suspend the Constitution. "You know as well as the Constitution has been side by presidents," sh Lodge. "No," snapped McMahon. "Internationally famous" sure supposed to be involved in the Amerasia case was tossed to newsmen as headline bait by bank Bielaski, former OSS agent, as week. It made headlines, all right, but Senator Tydings of Maryland immediately countered that the new mystery man had nothing to do with the case. In order to clear up the mystery, this column has investigated exactly what Bielaski testified before closed doors, also has done one checking upon Bielaski himself. The international celebrity, from Bielaski claims "towers and shoulders" above anyone else in the Amerasia case, is known Hersey, author of the book on which was based the famed picture, "A Bell for Adano" and the graphic story, "Hiroma." However, Bielaski's total collection was that he had seen Hersey's name scribbled on an envelope in the Amerasia office and he admitted to Senators that his link could be found between Hersey and the Amerasia magazine. Former GOP Investigator Hersey incidentally was never employed by the State Department any other government agency. It is also only fair to report that Bielaski himself was formerly an investigator for the Republican national committee, that he now operates his own private detective agency which is thriving on the Amerasia publicity, and that was also involved in the fames Rhode Island wire-tappingandal of 1940. Finally, it is important to note that the newspaper chain which has been constantly and persistently demanding a probe of the Amerasia case — the Scripps award papers — is being sued libel by Mark Gayn of the Chicago Sun, one of those originated in the Amerasia case. With this background in mind, here is Bielaski's closed-door testimony before the Tydings subcommittee. First, he described his legal raid on the Amerasia magazine offices, told how he broke into the library and saw the table covered with documents. This is something I have never repeated in public or anywhere, which I think must be told," Bielaski confided. "An enope in the middle of the table is there, and written across the of it catercornered was the Lodge of Massachusetts and Democratic Senator McMahon of Connecticut. Illegal Entry Lodge brought it up by asking Bielaski: "Under what authority did you conduct the raid on the Amerasia office?" "I didn't ask for authority at the moment, Senator," confessed Bielaski, "But since, I have thought over the legal position, and I understand that the OSS was created by executive order (which) provided that it should take care of its own security." This appeared to be a weak excuse and Lodge tried to be more helpful. "Did you realize that in wars in the past the normal safeguards of search and seizure and habeas corpus had been suspended, and probably in this war it would be all right to suspend them for the security of the country?" suggested the Massachusetts Senator. "I realized we were at war, someone had stolen valuable secrets from us, and I had to try to get them, and I did," Bielaski readily agreed. "You can't set aside the Constitution in time of war," countered Tydings. "I think they did it in time of war. He did it and got away with it," shot back Lodge. "I would have done it myself," he added. Constitution Violated Senator McMahon then broke Sunbeam Perfect Coffee Everytime Set it... forget it! It's automatic! You can't miss!

"An envelope in the middle of the table is there, and written across the back of it catercornered was the name Jonh Hersey." John...?" Inquired Tydings, who has been having trouble hearing with his right ear. H-E-R-S-E-Y," Bielaski spelled the name out. It was not an envelope to my mind that was addressed to him, as you might write your name an envelope belonging to you," continued Bielaski. The ex-OSS agent estimated that the "Hersey envelope" contained 12 to 15 documents. No Amerasia Connection Did your investigation show Hersey was connected in way with the (Amerasia) magazine?" Inquired Tydings. No, sir," Bielaski admitted. Or that he contributed to the magazine?" pressed the Marylandator. No, sir, not a thing that showed any connection with the magazine at all except for documents in the envelope with his name on it," repeated Bielaski. The private detective also back-down when Tydings asked him information on the "disloyal persons in the State Department." Well, as to that," hedged Bielaski, "I have no firsthand knowledge of disloyalty of persons in State Department in connection with the Amerasia case." Donald L. Boswell and Daniel Michael Sullivan, each 18, were arrested by Temple City police Wednesday for Santa Ana authorities on a charge of grand theft of an automobile. The marines were allegedly found in possession of the car stolen from Leo E. Jennings of Altadena at the Golden West Auto Court, 2222 N. Main st.; Santa Ana, several days ago. A rifle, knife and other articles belonging to Jennings were found in the car.

"I know what Lincoln did in the Civil War," growled Lodge. "You can do it but not legally," suggested Tydings, as a compromise.
