One reference supporting this is in: J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets by Curt Gentry / W. W. Norton & Company, 2001 - see page 315 see also:
1) Klehr and Radosh, The Amerasia Spy Case (1996) ISBN 978-0-8078-2245-6 ( a work that falls short in its examination of all pertinent sources known at the time, favoring reliance on the FBI's documentation) as per: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=366
2) wikipedia commentary "The "Amerasia Affair" became a touchstone for those who wanted to raise alarms about espionage and the possible Communist infiltration of the State Department. Senator Joseph McCarthy often spoke of the case in these terms, maintaining it was a security breach and cover-up of immense proportions." <- this citation is worth reading in its entirety-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerasia
3) See Reno Evening Gazette (Reno, Nevada) 1950 May 29 (front page lead article mentions OSS, Donovan, van Beuren); See: Nevada State Journal (Reno, Nevada)1950 June 10 (Archbold vB testifies)
In one article written in 1950, it is interesting that the FBI's failure to get a search warrant is glossed over: http://whittakerchambers.org/case/time-1950/amerasia/
