From The Red Plot Against America, Robert Stripling 1949
The next morning, December 3, they delivered it to me. It was microfilm, 35 millimeter size. Wheeler rushed out and returned with his enlarging device. We had not dark-room, so the three of us went to the nearest washroom, locked the door, made it as dark as possible, propped up the enlarged in a wash bowl and plugged it in.
The first thing that loomed up at me through the glass were these words:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
It was a reproduction of a message from the office of Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Sayre, dated during the period when Alger Hiss was his assistant.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
During the weekend that intervened before Mundt's arrival in Washington to take charge of the Committee, Justice Department representatives asked and received permission to examine the microfilm in my office, and I showed the material to former Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles at his Oxon Hill, Jd., estate.
Welles was deeply impressed with what he read.
"Two of these documents in particular would greatly jeopardize our security if release," he said, as he read. Then, after a bit, he added, "If any agent of a foreign power saw these, he could have broken our code."
