Asserting that the immediate reason for the statement was "to protest against the brutal and unlawful treatment by the American occupation authorities of fifty-eight Czechoslovak citizens who were kidnapped in a carefully planned and typically gangster plot and flown over the border of their country," he [Wheeler] declared that "I want to have nothing in common with the Gestapo methods of the executors of American policy ... I place myself proudly in the camp of peace and progress."

According to Jay Lovestone, Wheeler was there to help control Brigadier General Frank McSherry, "a patsy for the Communists" according to David Dubinsky and who had worked with Sidney Hillman on the War Production Board. In June 1945, Wheeler helped write a 16-page "procedure for organizing unions".

An FBI report dated February 28, 1942, reported information from the Dies Committee that Wheeler was a member of the American Peace Mobilization's Washington Book Shop and was a member at large of the Executive Council of the Washington Committee to Aid China. On March 24, 1942, the FBI interviewed Wheeler in New York, at which time he denied being a member of the Communist Party. He admitted to being a member of the Washington Committee for Democratic Action and attending meetings of the American Peace Mobilization.

In 1945, the FBI determined that "George S. Wheeler" of Vienna, Virginia (a suburb of Washington, DC), was George Shaw Wheeler of the NLRB.

In October 1945, Wheeler appeared before the Civil Service Commission Rating Board in Washington, DC. Shortly before, he had been declared ineligible for government employment because he had "followed the Communist line from before 1939". However, another associate of Sidney Hillman named David A. Morse testified for Wheeler, who returned to duty in Germany. By early 1947, Jay Lovestone asked General Lucius D. Clay to have Wheeler eased out.

According to Reed College, "When his contract was not renewed in 1946, he and his family moved to Czechoslovakia to find work. There, he wrote his first book".

On July 9, 1947, US Representative George Anthony Dondero publicly questioned the "fitness" of United States Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson for failing to ferret out Communist infiltrators in his department. The cause for concern arose from what Dondero called his lack of ability to "fathom the wiles of the international Communist conspiracy" and to counteract them with "competent personnel". Dondero cited ten government personnel in the War Department who had Communist backgrounds or leanings: Colonel Bernard Bernstein, [http://library.cqpress.com/cqalmanac/document.php?id=cqal48-1408381 Russell A.

On October 15, 1947, Dondero responded by letter to the editor to an unsigned editorial dated October 5 in The Washington Post entitled "Trial by Whimsy". Dondero asked "to reopen the entire unsavory record of the case of George Shaw Wheeler". He expressed desire "to make public the record of this entire proceeding regardless of whom it may involve".

In a July 9, 1948, letter to The Washington Post, Wheeler countered Dondero's 1947 and 1948 charges at length. He dismissed Dondero's charges because Dondero in fact disliked their roles in Nazi war crimes trials, denazification, investigations into German corporate conglomerates (e.g., I.G. Farben), and supporting the New Deal so-called "discredited" policies of US Presidents Roosevelt and Truman (particularly the Potsdam Agreement). Wheeler notes that he received two further clearances by government investigators since Dondero made his allegations. Further, the government never made any specific charges of disloyalty. He cites a stream of "excellent" ratings for performance (most late in September 1947) and a letter of recommendation from an Army colonel dated March 10, 1948, for his "policies and plans" as "democratic and practicable". Rather than defecting, Wheeler says that he entered Czechoslovakia "the way thousands of other tourists" and stayed to lecture "in the field in which I am trained". Wheeler counters Dondero's query, "Will anyone pay for the damage that has been done?" (i.e., by Wheeler's alleged communist sympathies) with his own thoughts on suing Dondero for slander but concludes it too "time-consuming" and a "costly procedure which I cannot afford".

(In 1949, Noel Field, another American spy for the Soviets, found inspiration in Wheeler's successful flight and new life led him to seek refuge in Czechoslovakia for himself. Both men had come under investigation by the House Un-American Activities Committee.)

}} The Washington Post noted that "The loyalty record of George S. Wheeler, ousted United States military government official who last Friday asked asylum in Communist-run Czechoslovakia was aired in Congress nearly three years ago." The Post noted that on July 9, 1947 (after Wheeler's defection), and again on April 6, 1948, US Representative Dondero had questioned support for Wheeler from William Treadwell Stone and David A. Morse. Stone, by then at Voice of America, denied Dondero's allegation; Morse, by then at the International Labour Organization in Geneva, made no statement. Time article "Foreign News: At Home", which recounted how Wheeler had recently "denounced the frauds" of the Marshall Plan, the Atlantic Pact, the Truman Doctrine and aid for backward areas as undermining the welfare and independence of the countries affected and enriching American capitalists.

Wheeler used the public interest to denounce his enemies. He claimed that his denazification efforts had faced opposition from "representatives of international cartels and trusts". He accused Robert Murphy, an adviser to the US Military Governor, of being in fact an "unofficial representative of the Vatican". He derided former Brigadier General William Draper Jr. for being a vice president of Dillon, Read & Co., "representing the interests of Wall Street".

On August 31, 1950, Abraham George Silverman refused to answer questions about Wheeler, his brother Donald Niven Wheeler (wrongly cited by HUAC as "David Niven Wheeler"), or Allan Rosenberg while testifying before HUAC. On September 1, 1950, John Abt refused answer questions about Donald Niven Wheeler (again, wrongly cited by HUAC as "David Niven Wheeler").

Shuttling between New York and Washington, he has maintained a New York office while holding a variety of Government posts dating back to World War I. On one hand, he has been an assiduous cultivator of high-level friendships, including Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and Supreme Court Justices Felix Frankfurter and Louis Brandeis. On the other, he has been an equally assiduous collector of proteges for whom he has found many Government jobs. Alger Hiss and Lee Pressman benefited by his friendship, and, for a time, did one George Shaw Wheeler, a young lawyer who became so carried away by communism that he denounced his United States citizenship to make a new career bebind the Iron Curtain. Back in 1920, at the time of her admission to the New York bar, Carol also was a Lowenthal protégée, and it was in his office that she served her first and only legal clerkship.

In connection with Communist infiltration of our government let me give you, if I may, very briefly, another case in which Truman intervened in behalf of a communist agent.
On April 13, 1950, Georg Shaw Wheeler, who had been working for the United States Government in Europe, deserted to the Communist cause. At that time he denounced what he called, and I quote, the "Gestapo methods" of the United States. He stated that he was going to stand "proudly with the Soviet regime." Wheeler then disappeared behind the Iron Curtain.
Now, what does Truman have to do with this? As early as 1944 the Civil Service Commission Loyalty Board had found Wheeler disloyal because of Communist and espionage activities.
Listen to these dates, if you will. On October 4, 1944, Harry Truman, candidate for Vice President, wrote a three-page letter to the Civil Service Commission denouncing the commission in the strongest language for having ordered the dismissal of Wheeler. That was in 1944. In October 1945, Harry Truman, as President, the Civil Service Commission then reversed itself and ordered Wheeler reinstated.
and, of course, as you know, Wheeler is now behind the Iron Curtain, having admitted that he was an espionage agent

He chastised then US Senator Truman for intervening and stopping the dismissal of Wheeler from government service.
