Senator Ferguson: Did you ever know whether or not a loyalty charge had been filed against you?

Graze: I decline to answer on the grounds of the 5th Amendment.

Graze: I would defend the U.S. against any attacker or aggressor.

Morris: You used the word "aggressor."

Graze: I was about to say that I could not conceive of a war at the present time between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and as far as I am concerned I believe that such a war would be the worst catastrophe that could occur.

Senator O'Connor: Suppose it would come?

Graze: I would defend the U.S.

Senator Smith: If you cannot conceive a war, you think that all efforts we are making towards building up our defenses are of no consequence, and ought not be done?

Graze: I don't believe that rearmament programs ever solved the problems of war.

Smith: You don't think we ought to have rearmament?

Graze: I don't believe rearmament is the answer. I believe the UN is the answer. I believe that the answer is that the armament commission of the UN should solve the problem.
