McCarthy
As Kremlin Asset
--Senator Claims Documents, Witness
To Prove Charge' Against Lattimore
::;'- "J Br Morgan Reynold .-'
--r WASHINGTON, March 30-r-Senator McCarthy reported
: today he has documentary evidence and a mystery .witness to
prove his charges that Owen J Lattimore is a Russian agent who
has shaped this country's China policy into a cornmunist mold.
The Wisconsin republican made that claim in the course of
four hour and twenty minute speech to the senate which set
off these chain reactions:
1. President Truman branded McCarthy, along with Sena
tors Bridges (R-NH) and Wherry (R-Neb) as the greatest asset
the Kremlin has.
In a statement which he permitted newsmen at Key West to quote
directly, Mr. Truman condemned the "partisan attempt in the senate
to sabotage the bipartisan foreign policy of the United States.! v
2. Lattimore also fired back at McCarthy, labeling his accusa
tions as In "unmitigated lie." ...
' The Johns Hopkins professor and one time state department con
sultant made that report in London during a stopover on his flight
back to the United States to answer the senator's charges in person.
When told mat McCarthy said he had proof, Lattimore said "all this
has been covered by my previous statement. I have no more to say."
. r 3. Senator Bridges Curtly replied to the president's blast that the
"only sabotage I'm trying to create is to sabotage some of the subver
sive security risks so that they are thrown out of key spots in the
government1
Solon Asks Open Loyalty Files
- v 4. Senator Wherry also Issued rejoiner saying that the "best
way to show who are the agents of. the Kremlin' is for Mr. Truman
to open the loyalty board's files to the senate group investigating Mc
Carthy's charges that the state department is infill tra ted with com
munists. This the president has refused to do.
. But Wherry told reporters that if these files were made public
then the people can "decide who is harboring subversives and moral
perverts in' high places in government.'
McCarthy retorted:
T Just hope the president Is right so far as sabotage of our po
licy In the Far East is concerned. I wish some one had sabotaged it
sooner. It couldnt be worse. Our batting average is zero."
"If someone can disrupt the plans for turning the rest of the east
ever to Russia, -it would be a good thing."
t In his lengthy speech McCarthy did not name the witness Who
he said could prove his charges against Lattimore. But he said he was
turning the person's name over-to the FBI along with documents
which he claimed showed that Lattimore was "receiving instructions
from the Soviet government as far back as 1938.
) McCarthy teed off against Lattimore In a senate speech. Waving
paper, he said they would prove his case, and he read some of them.
When democratic senators noted that in certain cases he was reading
only excerpts, they pressed him to read the documents in their en
tirety; so the senate could judge them as a whole.
. - McCarthy refused, saying he did not want to bring out "peculiar
.personal habits", disclosed in 'some of the documents. He did not
elaborate on this.
State Department Dominated'
"' "Today," he Uii 1 1ntend to give the senate documents to show
that Lattimore is. Soviet agent and is or has been a member at" the
communist party." 1
In detailing his' allegations against Lattimore, McCarthy said he
was convinced there are two distinct but interlocking operations. In
the state department which be said are "almost completely controlled
and dominated" by persons more in sympathy with the communist
cause than with American democracy.
He named these as the Far Xastern division and the voice of
America. ;-'-'-'-',.'
McCarthy said that Lattimore's Instructions from Moscow were
to become friends with important government officials and to-serve
as a liaison between the members of the communist party's Inner
circle and the fellow travelers over whom the party had no discipline.
Holding up a paper he pulled off a stack od his desk McCarthy
said it was an affidavit , from a witness who had met Lattimore in
Moscow In 1948 "when he (Lattimore) was receiving instructions
from the Soviet sjovernmenL" ' '
McCarthy next read from another paper which he said 'Hies Lat
timore closely" to the case of John S. Service, American consul to
Calcutta, whom McCarthy has accused of pro-communist leanings.
He said the person who had signed this affidavit had done so
reluctantly for fear of losing his job. '
. ,,-
Subtle Evangelist of Commies
Noting that Lattimore has spent much time in he orient and has
written much on that subject, McCarthy labeled the -professor as "the
most subtle of the evangelists who have deceived the American peo-
, pie about the Chinese communists."
- ' "No one can read his books carefully," he added, "without realiz
ing that they are replete with pro-Soviet propaganda, twisted half
truths and historical distortions and omissions to trick the American
people Into support of policies advantageous to Moscow."
Turning to Lattimore's service as director of Pacific operations
for the office of war Information, McCarthy read excerpts from a
letter which he said showed that Lattimore was trying to get rid of
OWI employes who were loyal to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
' McCarthy noted that the state department in a report last week
to Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the senate-investigating committee
said that Lattimore had been employed or connected with the depart
ment only for a brief period- five years ago "when he was associated
with a mission outside the United States." .
Taking issue with that, McCarthy said his information would
'seem to Indicate that not only the state department but Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman "have looked to Owen Lattimore as their ad
viser and expert on Far Eastern policy." ,

CAB Examiner
Interested in
etPlan
WASHINGTON, March I0-V
A'civil aeronautics board examin
er today4 questioned the possible
effect on air service at Salem, Ore,
and three other northwest cities If
the West Coast airlines and South
west airways should merge.
Rumors of such a meager have
entered a CAB hearing on West
Coast s application' for renewal of
permit to operate. In connection
with this hearing the CAB has or
dered United Air lines to show
cause why West Coast should not
replace its service at Salem.
CAB Examiner J. Earl Cox said
the merger proposal would not be
examined. He added, however,
that he has a right to know if
such a merger is contemplated, to
help him decide whether United
should stop service in Salem, Kla
math Falls, Bend and BelUngham.
This merger might Increase
chances for a daily freight flight
to Los Angeles, as favored by Sa
lem representatives favoring re
tention of United Air lines service;
Cox said.

Parade . . .
in Polk county we are almost
totally dependent on farming and
the lumber industry for income.
-We are very encouraged re
garding the farming outlook in
Polk county, but we are not en
couraged In the future of the
lumber industry. As I look over
the many, many miles of cut-off
timber lands, land that is not be
ing replanted, I feel grave con
cern for the future of lumbering
in this couuty.
Enough young seedlings are not
being planted to replace the tim
ber cut. While the state is plant
ing cut-over and burnt-over lands
at a faster pace than ever be
fore, this alone is not enough to
insure a perpetual lumber indus
try. .
Large operators are developing
their own reforestation programs,
programs they hope wjll insure
continued operations for years to
come. But that still leaves con
siderable land and much of this
must be managed In such a man
ner that smaller logging and mill
operations will be protected.
, I will, if nominated and elected
to serve the people of Polk coun
ty, serve honestly, faithfully and
in the best manner possible.

For Army Use
Zven the landlocked navy fa

It was the fear of wet ground at
the new navy-marine training
center at Salem that prompted a
6 th army armory site board to re
ject a location adjacent to the

Indicated Thursday.
U. S. Rep. Walter. Norbladhad
raised the question why army and
navy should have separate reserve
training buildings in Salem.
Capt. Richard Reynolds, local
army reserve Instructor, said re
serve officials had given top rec
ommendation to a site adjacent to
the navy armory on airport road.
But the review board said that
site would be undesirable "since
