GOP Attacked
For Sunnorting
Sen. McCarthy
WASHINGTON, April 9
A democrat said tonight that re
publican leaders are recklessly
backing Senator McCarthy's
charges of communism in the state
department in an effort' to "get"
President Truman.
Republicans retorted to this
charge by Rep. Dingell (D-Mich)
that the president is "afraid' to
release secret government files
the Wisconsin republican says will
prove his charges.
McCarthy renewed his attack
against the department and Owen
Lattimore, - Far Eastern expert
whom he accuses of being the
architect of a Far Eastern policy
identical with that of the com
munists.
The senator is on a trip to New
York and other cities In an effort
to line up witnesses who will sup
port his accusation that the de
partment Is honeycombed with
communists and sympathizers.
But his Washington office made
public a telegram which aides said
McCarthy sent to Acheson from
New York.
He said in It that "regardless of
whether JMr. Lattimore is a Rus
sian agent he has done exactly
what would be expected of such
an agent by sabotaging the na
tionalist Chinese government and
"secretly shaping our foreign pol-
sister to a brother of Miss Sadek
would facilitate the wedding of
the king to -the commoner. Such
a marriage, the informants say,
would make Miss Sadek a mem
ber of Egyptian royalty.
Princess Faikah was married to
Fouad secretly in San Francisco
last Wednesday. Fouad has been
identified only as - a member of
the Egyptian consular service. He
and his bride left Los Angeles
Friday on a ship for a honeymoon
trip to HawaiL
c$ along the Identical. Ones of tit
communist program.
Lattimore has testified that the
state department adopted very
few of his recommendations, and
that if it had followed more of
them China might not now be' in
communist hands.
