Question

Are the any job openings on the Chicago police department?

Answer

Because Chamber's testimony was given in a congressional hearing, his statements were privileged against defamation suits. Hiss challenged him to repeat his charges in public without the benefit of such protection. After Chambers publicly reiterated his charge that Hiss was working for the Soviets on the radio program Meet the Press, Hiss instituted an eventually unsuccessful libel lawsuit against Chambers. Chambers, in his defense, presented the "Baltimore Documents", which were copies of a series of government documents that he had allegedly obtained from Hiss in the 1930s. Some of these were indeed classified (though of trivial trade regulations rather than military affairs). Both Chambers and Hiss had denied any act of espionage in their testimony to Congress. By introducing the "Baltimore Documents," Chambers opened both Hiss and himself to perjury charges. Chambers claimed that the government documents had first been re-typed by Hiss's wife, Priscilla, and that these copies were then photographed and passed on to the spy network. This was seen as one of the weakest parts of the Chambers's story since the original documents could have been directly photographed, and retyping them could have generated errors. Hiss was linked to the Baltimore Documents by the matching of the type to the Hiss family's old typewriter. There has been much subsequent controversy about the correctness of this typewriter identification and the date of the typewriter's manufacture. Hiss supporters contend that the typewriter introduced as evidence could not have been the Hiss family typewriter because its serial number indicated it was manufactured after the date that Priscilla's father originally purchased it.
