...Service case had been around Washington a long time before Acheson got to it. One spring day in 1945, Service, one of the band of Foreign Service "China hands" who urged the U.S. during World War II to dump the Chinese Nationalists and plump for Communist Mao Tse-tung, was discovered by the FBI in the hotel room of Philip Jaffe. editor of the pro-Chinese Communist magazine Amerasia. The FBI had earlier raided Amerasia's offices, found there about 40 of Service's State Department documents, which he had stamped "Secret" or "Confidential." Service was arrested along...
