STATE OF NEW YORK 

COUNTY OF NEW YORK

On March 14, 1953, there was submitted to me for observation and examination, certain photographs of a console table, depicting various views of the same and parts of the same. I have marked each of these photographs with my signature; there are a total of six photographs and I have marked them "A" to "F" both inclusive.

I make the following statement voluntarily and based upon what I observed from the said photographs. I am assuming that the photographs, and the markings as shown on the console table, are genuine

(a) The table is a type and style which was handled and sold by Macy's in the furniture and occasional furniture department. It is possible that Macy’s handled and sold the particular table shown in these photographs during the years 1944 and 1945.

(b) The markings on the table are not in sufficient detail for me to state that Macy's handled or sold this particular table, or this type or style of table during any particular year.

(b) The table would appear to have been manufactured by the Brandt Manufacturing Company and the markings "N N 4046-760-F4-1997" on the under side of the table would indicate the following information. "N N" means Macy’s occasional furniture department. "4046" is the pattern number assigned by Brandt Manufacturing Company to this style in the year 1940. "760" means the Brandt Manufacturing Company Cabinet Works of Hagerstown, Md. '"F4" is a symbol of a Macy season; "F4" was last used as a symbol in the fall season of 1936; however, "E4" was last used as a symbol in the early part of 1944. A view of photographs "E" and "F", which are close-ups, show that the seasonal symbol could be read as either "F4" or "E4". The use of "E4" would be consistent with the manufacturer’s pattern number. "1997" is Macy's retail selling price of $19.97.

(d) This console table was one of the lower priced tables sold in Macy's furniture department some time during or subsequent to the year 1944, if the symbol "E4" is correct.
 

Text of telegram which Dr. Harold C. Urey sent to President Eisenhower on June 12, 1953:

The case against the Rosenbergs outrages logic and justice. It depends on the testimony of Greenglass and his wife, both confessed spies and alleged accomplices of the Rosenbergs. Greenglass is supposed to have revealed to the Russians the ‘secret’ of the atomic bomb. Though the information supposed to have been transmitted could have been important, a man of Greenglass' capacity is wholly incapable of transmitting the physics, chemistry and mathematics of the atomic bomb to anyone. He and his wife were the only ones who pretended to connect the Rosenbergs with atomic espionage.  New evidence makes even more plain what was plain enough before, that the prosecution's case has no logic in it, and that it depends upon the blowing up of patently perjured testimony. I tried to see the Attorney General this past week but was unable to secure an appointment. On behalf of all those interested in the defense, I ask to be allowed to present my understanding of the case to you, Mr. President.
