Then. on March 10 and 12, 1948
the same 108 cases were studied by
a House Subcommittee on Expendi-
tures in Executive Departments. i

m
Karsten presented a parallel t
column analvsis on nine of thelcases Senator McCarthy has
cases to show similarity and often
identity in language between Me--':Carthys statement of the cases andl,tlheir summary in the 108 list givenl
*i.' the two House Subcommittees. l- liKarstens analysis also providedthe rst suggestion of how Mc-
Carthy arrived at a gureused
in various of his Lincoln Day
lspeeches that precipitated thel
present investigation of Commu-
nist inlt1'ationoi "5? card-carry-
ing Communists in the State De-
partment." -
Hearings Showed 57 Employed
| Of the 108 cases considered by
the second House Subcommittee,
Karsten said, "hearings developed
that 57 oi the individuals were em-
ployed in March, 1948, and 51 were
not employed. Of the 51 not em-1
ployed. 23 had never worked for,
i icants {or positions." The re-
1 maining 28 had resigned or were
scharged.
Thus, it appears that in discussing
81 cases in February of this year,
McCarthy was actually talking[about cmployes or applicants for
State Department jobs as of a datei2£».'; years ago. i
l And when he said that there
lwere "now" 57 Communists in the
ldcpartment. he was referring to
ithe fact that two years ago there
were 57 people in the State De-
.parimcnt who, in preliminary in-
jvcstigation by the department's
security division, were thought to
be poor security risks.. d f

"Any impression that the Amer-

At that time. for reasons uri-

Members of the 'lyrlinns Sub-

Before the hearing began.
McCarthy made public a copy of

However, Bielaski was recalled
for another session in the after-~

he continued:
"Without regard to McCarthy ori

Bielaski made it clear he had
been warned by the Senate inquiry:

Carthy declared that Bielaski
would testify as follows: .
| "1. That reports were discovered

showed that six months before the

RETURNING to the vastly
more important war period, the
other school of thought was com-
osed primarily of General Stil-
'ell and his political advisers.
-eneral Stilwell, so far as onewould judge. was chiey tinf-
nated by his personal detest F
tioii of Generaiissimo Chiani,
arising from their disagreement
His political advisers, amonw
/9292'ltDIII was Mg, Q_ojii1__Ei_t_e;t92;art
§crvicé,_ were operating on a
more reasoned ll1 .0I_92, however.
They assertedl rst, that the
National government was too
feeble and corrupt ever to be
reformed, even with direct
American help and under direct
American pressure. They said,
second, that the Chinese Com-
munists were therefore boundin win in the end. no matter
that measures rniglit be taken
y the United States. In the
liird place. they argued that
he Soviet Union, insofar as it
had intervened in China at all,
had given all its assistance t
the regime of Gcneralissinf
Cliiang Kai-shek rather than t
the Communists, who receive
no tangible Russian aid what-
ever until the war was over.
Fourthly, they suggested that
the Chinese Communists might;
be induced to declare their in-
dependence of the Kremlin if
they were treated as friends and
allies by the United States.
Opening friendly relations and
oering aid to the Chinese Com-
munists was frankly admitted,
at the time, to be a bold gamble.
The gamble now looks bett

because I, and the others who

In summary. I do not attem t

suhmit further that the members
of the Senate who are now per-
secuting these men who made, as
I think. mistakes in China. have
far more to explain, excuse. and
rationalize in their own records.
I still believe that the loss of
hina was unnecessary. But I
hink it far more important that tye should not destroy the decefit lraditions of American politi pl ,

years later. in 1667. the House
oi Commons passed a resol -

with the House of Lords whic
resulted in reversing form:-ill
on a writ of error, the judgmen
of 1629. Twenty-two years alt-

THE PROOF that the Senat

the speech of Senators is to be
found in the Rules of the Sen-
ate. Rule XIX says that no Sen-

indirectly, by any form of words
impute to another Senator or to
other Senators any conduct or

Senator shall refer offensively to

I'II~IE McGAR'IHY QIEOLOSURII.
O MATTER WHAT I'H£L'%Iydingl Committee lays,
Senator McCarthy's indictment of t.h§'Stete Depart-
ment has been e. very successful shing expedition."
It demonstrated to the American people the furtive my
in which our "foreign policy" is concocted end conducted.
It showed that much of this policy has hewn to the
Communist Party line; yet thatin order to obtein the facts
-it is not necessary, nor perhaps relevant, to detect
Comm unist Party members at work.
The expose compelled publication of A SECRET STATE
DEPARTMENT DOCUMENT which ha: made OTHER
documents comprehensible, and has clearly indicated that
the United States is being decayed into global disaster.Senator McCarthy h%self delved up_ the signicantnames of PROF. OWEN .I*._ ATTIMORE and of the career
man JOHN STEWAR'I§92;SERVICE revealingAND IN-
TERRUPTING-their latest activities. »
-in
THE FOREGOING DEVELOPMENTS, which have
hardly been exploited, apparently contain the key to several
pcst=wer Oriental mysteries; among them being-
1-The incredible fell of Chine, to the Communists.
2'Ihe persistent embarrassment: of General Ma.cArthur
in Japan. _ ,
3Tl1e withdrawal of our occupation forces from Korea.
4The impending Bolnhevization of India. and Southeast
Asia.

action as "destruction of evide he"
and a highly improper "abuse of

In his speech before a conven-
tion of the Sons of the American
evolution, Sen. McCarthy linked
r. Acheson with Owen Lattimo ei what he called a "Acheso£-
ttimore Axis" in shaping Ame '-
dan policy in the Orient.
Sen. McCarthy has charged lt '.
Lattirnore, a Johns Hopkins Uni-

"top Soviet espionage agent" inthe United States. Mr. Lattimore|
has sworn before a Senate invest.i--

The department statesnen
picked the speech apart in an
attempt to show McCarthy wrong
on 14 points. These included a
number of previously denied and
;"reIuted charges. which drew a
new broadside of replies.
It led off with a blow aimed
at McCarthys assertion that
State department loyalty les fur-
nishecl to a Senate committee in-lvestigating his charges were
iophony-ll
The Senate investigators now
:are going through these recordswhich dealhwith the cases of 81
-persons w om McCarthy haslabeled as Communists or fellow
ltravelers. The records were re-
lleased to Congress by President
Truman. McCarthy immediately
charged the. files had been
"raped" and "purged."
To get the truth about his
charges, the senator said, Con-
grass needs the files of the FBI,
the Army and Navy intelligence
services, the secret service and

It noted that under the fed-

the agency which conducts loyalty
investigations of State department

"The les made available to
the committee contain the ma-

transmitted to the State depart-

- But what the report actually

IN this tesilrnony is on in-
struction from Brig. Gen.
Robert I-1. Dunlap which states;
" . . . No artlnn will he
taken . . . that is preriicateri on
memhersliin in or adherence to
the doctrines of the Communist
party unless there is a speeiiic
finding that the individual In-
volved has I. loyalty to the

ganization which overrides his
loyalty to the United States. No
ouch finding lhould be based
on the more fact that the indi-
vidual: views on various ltilll
questions have heen the some
ls the views which the Com-
munist party may have od-
vanccd . . ."
This instruction does two
ilthings:
TPIRST, it =~lun1nal.es any con-
sirleraiion of I-he lnstory oi
ihe Holshevik movement since
1903, which proves that no
Communist can place his coun-
try above his party. No person
in the world can be a. member
or international communism
who does not accept party
lbove country.
To eliminate that from eon-
eldrrntlon of n Communist: ai-
iiiiaiiou is to live the eiie
away.
Secondly, it eliminates proof
by l92s5m.ial.lnl'l. As usually no
other proof is available, it be-

found administratively to advo-
cate the overthrow of our env-
ernment by violence! in order
to bar service in the Army.
There is some doubt whether

". Il1ere was evidence that
the Communist party took action
to prevent the application of
the Hatch act to its members in
the A1-my by giving them leaves
of absence in such manner as
to constitute et leer-.t e suspen-
sion_ if not an annulment. of

UNDER this curious and weal:
procedure, all a. man had to
do was to withdraw from active
membership for i 2-i-hour period
and during that time. he could
swear that he did not belong;

Mr. Thomason: Then . . .

The testimony included sworn

Bielaski, who said Sunday they
included a memorandum on "the

the documents contained one de-
toiling in substance, the bomb-
ing pattern for Japan."
Bielaski in 1946 "knew nothing"
of the atom bomb and could not

He explained that Russia then
E was an ally and "the fact that an,

not state that Roth was a Com-

_ Bielaski also testified in 1946:
I. Documents found in the;Amerasia office were from "Brit-i
ish intelligence. naval intelli-.
gence. G-2. State department. of-
fice of censorship. OSS and prob-i
.ably others." 12. Shortly after the OSS l'BiGi,'
another OSS officer named Van
Buren went to a meeting where
the stuff was shown to the Secre-
'tary of State."
Bielaskis secret testimony made
Ii no reference to the mystery fig-
ure he described as of greater

lithe case, and as an internationa.l

denounced the Tydings commit-
-tee for doing 9. foul lob of in-"
ivestigation. He demanded crea-
tion of an independent commis-
sion of high-minded men" to
probe his charges.
This commission, McCarthyIsaid, should be appointed by Con-|gress and should have completeaccess to all government person-I181 les. including those oi the
FBI, to get at the facts.
McCarthy made this suggestion
informally while the Tydings sub-
committee was at the White
House, going over more of the B1
State department loyalty files
made available by Presidential
order.
The Wisconsin senator has
claimed 81 departmental employes

Cable Reveals ~ ~

Bl WILLARD EDWARDS
A secret wartime cable, one of
the top exhibits in the Amerasla
stolen documents scandal, came
to light last night. Dated July 28,
1944, and hidden for six years by
the Truman admiiustration for
obvious reasons. the document
bares pro-Soviet influence in the
State department at top levels.
The cable is marked Hull tol
Chungklng and is a contidentlall
message to the American ambas-
sador in China. Cordell Hull, then
state secretary. resigned in No-
vember 19-i4. Now ailing._l'1c was
not available for comment on:
whether he aut orized the dis-I
patch, which bor his name, with
its startling impli ations.
At the time t e message was
sent. John Cart Vincent, nowl
minister to Switzerland, wasl
head of the office of Chinese at-5
Iairs. Alger Hiss, convicted re-
information from Chinese Com-
munists which he passed on to
the late President Roosevelt.
The message also shed light on
testimony before a. House commit-
tee in 1946 that Amerasia was
circulated in the State and other
departments as an important
textbook."
The Hull message was one oi
moo secret government paprsu
locked from the public gaze since
they were seized by the FBI in
1945 in the offices of Amerasia in l
New York City. A huge photoatat 1
ing apparatus was discovered and
investigators reported there was
no doubt that the magazine was.
