Shortly after his appointment, McLeod learned that one of the nations leading career diplomats who was then serving as an ambassador, was a known homosexual. In his testimony, McLeod described what happened: McLeod : I sent this fellow a telegram and told him to come back to Washington. He did and reported to my office and freely admitted that he had been a homosexual all his life and was surprised to find that the rules had changed and that homosexuals were no longer regarded as good security risks, although I think this had been true in the past, and freely offered his resignation, and it was accepted. But to McLeods surprise, this individual who had admitted being a homosexual all his life, was soon given a new Presidential appointment to be the U.S. Governments top representative in Brazil. McLeod then learned that the White House and die Secretary of State were frequently clearing homosexuals or persons with questionable Communist, connections and excusing the derogatory information in their files on the grounds that it was merely incidental information which did not reflect on the personal integrity of the individual. McLeod further discovered that once a homosexual got into high places, he usually set about to gather his fellow deviates around him just as had happened in the National Security Agency of the Defense Department. The Senate committee chairman specifically asked McLeod about this problem: Chairman : Well, is it true that they try to help the British were bitterly embarrassed when two of their top diplomats disappeared behind the Iron Curtain with volumes of top secret information. Both were deviates. A purge took place in the British 1951 Foreign Office which was long overdue. In the United States security officers had feared a similar development in the U.S. diplomatic corps and had therefore succeeded in getting 91 homosexuals fired from the State Department between 1947 and 1950. In 1952, a total of 119 additional sexual deviates were ousted. Some voluntarily resigned, others scrambled around seeking jobs-i- n other governmental agencies and some had to be literally rooted out. One of the sanctuaries to which a whole nest of deviates gravitated was the National Security Agency in the Defense Department. This particular branch of service is described as the most sensitive and secretive of all agencies established by the U.S. Government to protect the Nations security." It was later discovered that 26 homosexuals had migrated to this agency from the State Department This would have been impossible if it had not been for the fact that the agency took a chance on one homosexual and after he had climbed to a top position he used the -- i IRS Continued from Page 10 power of his office to dear the way for the rest.

Referring to a recent decision by Judge Willis W. Ritter in U.S. District Court, Solomon responded, And 1 have the right not to have to produce my records. The hearing opened with a debate between Solomon and Schochet over Solomons wanting to usehis own tape recorder to record the proceedings. Solomon was not permitted his own recorder but was granted the right to have the proceedings recorded and transcribed by a government stenographer, to which he consented. He was also permitted to read the transcript and make corrections and to refuse to sign it if he wished. Solomon did not sign the tran-- . After the hearing was closed, Schochet asked Solomon if he was a certified public accountant, to which he replied in the affirmative. Schochet then warned Solomon that a record of the proceedings would be sent to the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. because of his recalcitrance in cooperating with the IRS and they. would decide whether Solomon should be script. disbarred from pracicticing before the IRS.
