Summary
"History of Alger Hiss-Whittaker Chambers controversy of 1948-50 in which Chambers claimed Hiss passed him documents in 1937 and 1938 for Soviet Union. Jury records unsealed in 1999 lead to the conclusion that stories Whittaker Chambers told the authorities about himself and Alger Hiss as confederates in the Communist underground of the 1930s are fraudulent"--
