While endorsing a Truman commission plan, he attacked any labor legislation passed hastily ahead of the commission's results, saying, "Judging from the bills now before Congress, their purpose is merely to penalize labor organizations." Senator Hatch agreed with him that severe wage cuts in terms of real wages and increased cost of living would not find resolutions in terms of legislation that addresses only jurisdictional disputes or secondary boycotts.

Har-vardman Pressman launched his leftward-turning career in Henry Wallace's AAA back in 1933, ended up as chief counsel of the CIO. He held the post for twelve years. But though he was a skilled labor lawyer, his fellow-traveling finally became too much for Phil Murray; 2½ years ago, Murray tearfully threw him out. <br /> His star did not entirely wane. He became a power among the back-room Reds who steered Henry Wallace through the presidential campaign. But when the <a href="/wiki/Korean_War" title="Korean War">Korean war</a> began, he, like Wallace, began slipping away from his Commie cronies. California's Congressman Richard Nixon, scenting opportunity, decided to call him before the House Un-American Activities Committee and ask him a few questions. (Once before, when Whittaker Chambers named Pressman as a member of the same elite apparatus as Alger Hiss, Pressman had taken refuge in the Fifth Amendment, refused to answer Congressmen's questions.) <br /> Last week, Pressman decided to reverse his field... <br /> This week ... he reluctantly consented to name three men who had been fellow Communists in the '30s—John Abt, Nathan Witt and Charles Kramer...<sup id="cite_ref-RoadBack_98-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RoadBack-98"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>98<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personal_and_death">Personal and death</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lee_Pressman&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Personal and death"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On June 28, 1931, Pressman married the former Sophia Platnik.

Lee Pressman</b>, 63, the C.I.O.'s legal counsel from 1936 until 1948, when his far-left politics finally cost him his job and career; of cancer; in Mt. Vernon, N.Y. Pressman never made any bones about his Communist leanings, often supporting the Moscow line. Yet as a union lawyer he was tops; he played a major role in negotiating the original C.I.O. contracts with such industrial giants as <a href="/wiki/U.S._Steel" title="U.S. Steel">U.S. Steel</a> and <a href="/wiki/General_Motors" title="General Motors">General Motors</a>, and ably fought labor cases before the Supreme Court.<sup id="cite_ref-102" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-102"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>102<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p> In 1948, "the first of a series of reports on Communists and Pro-Communists for Wallace" summarized Pressman's role in both the CIO and the 1948 presidential campaign as follows: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>Before taking up the question of the Wallace vote in the CIO Executive Board [in January 1948], it is pertinent to discuss the resignation of Lee Pressman as general counsel of the CIO. Less Pressman has exercised a dominant role in the CIO, thanks to his appointment by John L. Lewis. <br /> The main reason for his resignation, given by Pressman himself, was that he would be able to participate in the Wallace campaign for the presidency. Inasmuch as the CIO Executive Board voted in January 1948, three to one against Wallace's candidacy, Pressman's position became untenable. <br /> Long before John L. Lewis selected him as general counsel of the CIO, Lee Pressman was a member of the Communist Party. The fact of Pressman's Communist Party membership was first revealed in the newspapers by <a href="/wiki/Nelson_Frank" title="Nelson Frank">Nelson Frank</a> in the New York <i><a href="/wiki/New_York_World_Telegram" class="mw-redirect" title="New York World Telegram">World Telegram</a></i> on November 25, 1946. Pressman did not challenge Frank's statement. Frank's revelation may be accepted as authentic, without fear of a challenge by Pressman. Just why Philip Murray submitted meekly to the rule of a known Communist for so many years is a difficult question to answer. Nevertheless, the fact is on the record. <br /> Right down the line for twelve years, Lee Pressman has been loyal to the Communist Party. Henry A. Wallace has done the CIO and the country a distinct service by driving Pressman into the open as a support of Stalin's candidate–nothing more, nothing less. Lee Pressman had to make his choice: either get out of the Communinst Party and hold his job in the CIO, or resign from the CIO and support the Communist Party's candidate. He did the latter, and in so doing clarified the political situation in the United States in 1948... <br /> (Pressman's) resignation ... was one of the most significant defeats which the Communists have suffered in the CIO.<sup id="cite_ref-103" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-103"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>103<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Subsequent_findings">Subsequent findings</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lee_Pressman&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Subsequent findings"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Vassiliev-Alexander.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Vassiliev-Alexander.jpg/220px-Vassiliev-Alexander.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="301" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Vassiliev-Alexander.jpg/330px-Vassiliev-Alexander.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Vassiliev-Alexander.jpg 2x" data-file-width="350" data-file-height="479" /></a><figcaption>KGB expert <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Vassiliev" title="Alexander Vassiliev">Alexander Vassiliev</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Pressman's <a href="/wiki/VENONA" class="mw-redirect" title="VENONA">VENONA</a> codename was "Vig."<sup id="cite_ref-Spies_7-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Spies-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1946, VENONA reveals that Pressman hosted Mikhail Vavilov, first secretary in the Soviet embassy, at his home in Washington, D.C., where he met fellow (former) Ware Group member <a href="/wiki/Charles_Kramer_(economist)" title="Charles Kramer (economist)">Charles Kramer</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Spies_7-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Spies-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1948, <a href="/wiki/Anatoly_Gorsky" title="Anatoly Gorsky">Anatoly Gorsky</a>, former chief of <a href="/wiki/Chronology_of_Soviet_secret_police_agencies" title="Chronology of Soviet secret police agencies">Soviet intelligence</a> operations in the United States, listed Pressman, code-named "Vig–Lee Pressman, former legal adviser of the Congress of Industrial Organizations" among the Soviet sources likely to have been identified by US authorities, as a result of the defection of Soviet courier <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Bentley" title="Elizabeth Bentley">Elizabeth Bentley</a> three years earlier.<sup id="cite_ref-Spies_7-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Spies-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-104" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-104"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>104<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1949, VENONA reveals that the <a href="/wiki/KGB" title="KGB">KGB</a> used Pressman to pay <a href="/wiki/Victor_Perlo" title="Victor Perlo">Victor Perlo</a> for "analysis."
