=__ Alger Hiss: __= Alger Hiss was a diplomat who served in Roosevelt's Administration. Chambers a time magazine editor and former Communist member testified that several government officials were also former Communist or spies. In 1937 and 1938 he testified that Hiss had given him secret documents from the state department. Hiss denied of being a spy or a member of the Communist party, and also denied ever knowing Chambers. The committee was ready to drop the investigation, but one man convinced his colleagues to continue the hearings to determine whether Hiss or Chambers had lied. Chambers had produced copies of secret documents, along with microfilm that he had hidden in a hollow pumpkin on his farm. The "pumpkin papers" proved Hiss was lying. A Jury agreed and convicted Hiss of perjury, or lying under the oath.
