McCarthy against personnel in the state de partment is sot that they have foundation in truth but that they reflect an attitude hostile to State in the minds of members of the conn-ess. So far McCarthy has been chiefly sounding brass, but the - clanging sounds are heard cross the kind and add to con fusion in the public mind. All this is most unfortunate. In Secretary of State Dean Acheson the United States has one of .the ablest men in public life, the man probably best fitted for the office of any . since Charles Evans Hughes. At the moment however Acheson is having a hard struggle. Friends of peace think he- is too stern in his attitude toward fur ther conferences with Russia. Foes of communism tax him because of his reiterated- personal friendship with Alger Hiss, convicted of per jury in connection with passing of department documents to com munist agents.

At six other times during the day snow or snow pellets were reported at the McNaxy field Weather station 'but melted as' soon as it struck the ground. Cold Front Blamed Except for the Oregon coastal area, all of the northwest felt the resumption of winter weather. A cold front sliding in a southwest erly direction from northern Can ada was blamed for the interrup tion of spring-like weather. At Spokane, a maximum of only 26 degrees wa recorded Friday and five inches of new snow was on the ground there. Several inch es of snow fell all along the Cas cade range making highway trav el hazardous. Chains were requir ed to negotiate Santiam pass and motorists were i advised to carry chains on Willamette pass and in the Redmond area of Central Ore gon. Ten inches of snow had fall en at Government camp early Fri day morning.
