Concealing his confusion as well as he could, Williams still trying to keep his air of an honest man, admitted when shown the papers, that he had seen them before. La Follette did not bring out at the hearings how the committee obtained the reports, but it wa3 disclosed later outside the committee room, that they were taken under subpoena from the files of the National Metal Trades Association a year ago. Identified By Hoover At that time it was not known where they originated, as no source was marked on them, but when Williams turned over to the committee the copies of newspaper articles taken from the Republic files, it was noticed that the typing was apparently identical with that of the spy reports from the NMTA. Copies of both were therefore sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for identification. La Follette introduced as evidence, a letter from J. Edgar Hoover, affirming that the newspaper copies and the reports were done on the same machine.
