New Pieces Are Fitted In The Norman Case Jig-Saw

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

Seventeen years ago. in 1910. a Tm-onto secret agent branded one Professor Herbert Norman as a Communist.

Seven years ago. the RCMP said that report was false-based nn mistaken identity or un- founded hearsay evidence.

This year. despite that die- rlaimer. the US. Senate interna- tional security sub-committee re- vived the Communism charge.

And two weeks ago. in Cairo. Canadian Ambassador E. Herbert Norman jumped seven storey! '0 his death.

ILANKS FILL IN p

The jig-saw picture tying these events together may never be complete. But piece by piece - official statement by official state- msnt-the blank space gets smal-

ler.

Early this week. three articles by Ottawa correspondent Arthur Blakcly were published by the Montreal Gazette. They accused External Affairs Minister Pearson and his cabinet colleagues of "a shocking lack of candor with Par- liament and the Canadian people" and said many essential facts of the Norman affair had been "de- liberately suppressed."

Mr. Pearson's quick rejoinder was a 900-word teiegrarn to The Gazette. containing facts not hith- srto made public. From it and subsequent official statements. plus what was known before. lhil chi ' Ti ' y of the Norman story has emerged. TAUGHT AT HARVARD

in February. 1940. a secret agent in Toronto-his name may never be announced-told Ottawa that a Professor Herbert Norman. then at Harvard but connected with McMastcr University in Hamilton. was a member of the Communist party of Canada.

The RCMP made what Justice Minister Garson calla "some in- quiries" but dropped the investi- gation when it did not find the agent's man. For to years. the agent's report lay buried in the RCMP files.

E. Herbert Norman at the time

was not at Harvard. Asa student --Mr. Pearson has confirmed - he has associated openly with sp- paretn Communists. But in 1939 he had started his diplomatic ca- reer as a junior member of the external affairs departmentl staff awaiting posting to Japan. where he was born. INTERNED IN JAPAN

He was interned In Japan from outbreak of the Pacific war until July. 190; served three years in Ottawa: went back to Tokyo; re- turned to Ottawa and on to the United Nations as Canada's act.- lng permanent representative.

That was in i950-the year that Mr. Norman's name first was mentioned before the U.S. senate sub-committee. The US. swab ently asked pointedly about his background.

PERSONALS

The RCMP dug out the 1940 file. it told "appropriate agencies" in October. 1950, about its secret agent's old report. It said "there is no positive identification" of E. Herbert Norman as the Professor Norman who was said to be a Communist.

REPORT KILLED -

Six weeks later it killed the Oc- tober statement. Mr. Norman had come home from Tokyo to under- go a close security check. The ROMP told Waiilngton it had made extensive inquiries and de- cided that the 1940 information was based either on "milaken identity or unfounded rumor by an unidentified aim-source.”

It said the Toronto secret agent "does not recall the matter." and that "we have therefore deleted the reference insofar as Norman is concerned."

(These facts - that the secret agent's report had been sent to Washington and later discredited -were first made public by Mr. Pearson in lie telegram to The Gazette).

TESTIMONY RELEASED

In 1951 the Senate ...b-commit- tee released testimony by ex - Communist Karl Wlttfogel. a pro- lessor. that he had known Mr. Norman at Columbia Univer- sity in 1989 as a Communist. The Canadian government protested sharply to Washington that Mr. Norman and communism should not have been onnected in stir

' --- pi ” on the evi- dence of a former Communist.

Mr. Pearson. in his telegram to The Gaaette. said he took the de- claim: to retain Mr. Norman's services after the security probe in 1950-51. He concluded the dip- lomat had as a student "ideologi cal beliefs which were close to some brand of communism" but that Mr. Norman "regretted these earlier associations and beliefs and had voluntarily abandoned them" by the time he joined the Canadian foreign service.

Mr. Norman attended the San Francisco conference on the J aness peace treaty in 1951. The next year he was made head of the information division of exter- nal affairs: in 1953 was named high commissioner to New Zea- land

UNDER HIGH TENSION

Last August he was moved to Cairo as ambassador. He served under high tension during the Suez crisis. Last month the U.S. Sen- ate sub - committee reopened the matter of his Communist associa- tions. Mr. Pearson says the ROMP's first l9.'t0 report-killed six weeks later-Iwss "no doubt" the source material it used.

A few days later. in Cairo. Am-

bhssador Norman committed sul- c e. Why he jumped is not known for certain. In many quarters the us. sub-committee iiu been accused of bounding him to death by its charges of Communist association and one - time Communist party membership.

Biahely. is his Gasette articles under the heading "The Truth Comes Very Lats." wrote early this week that the Canadian gov- ernment may bave contributed ll-Ill II heavily by "six years of trimming. shuffling and embroid- erlng" that kept Mr. Norman's in-

grist.

son of the Norman case is that it I! intolerable for Canarlans to have a US. sub-committee-and U.S. newspapers and periodicsla- discussing such a matter with ac- cess to far more information than has been made available to use Canadian Parliament and the Ca- nadian people."

And therr. at the moment. the Norman jig-saw rests.
