Inauirv Aide
Appointment
Opens Debate
By Rarer D. Greene :
WASHINGTON. April 12 -(JPl
A row over the appointment of a
republican aide to help investigate
charges of communism in the state
department broke out today in the
senate inquiry committee headed
by Senator Tydings (D-Md). 1
Tydmgs set off the dispute with
an announcement to newsmen
that he was holding up the! apt
polntment of Frederick Ayerj jri
because Ayer Is a candidate for
political office. Ayer is seeking
the republican nomination for at
torney general in the September
primary in Massachusetts. L
Tydings said he blocked Ayer, a
former FBI agent, from taking the
post as assistant counsel to the
committee on the ground ithat
"every effort should be made to
keep politics out" of the senate in
quiry. !
Senator Lodge (R-Mass), who
sponsored Ayer's appointment,
later took sharp issue with Tyd
mgs. i
The Massachusetts senator de
nounced Tydings' action as "a
gross discourtesy to Mr. Ayer'! and
said Ayer "did not seek the ap
pointment in the first place: and
agreed to do so at a sacrifice to
himself and entirely as a matter of
public duty."
The chairman said no matter
how fair an investigation may be;
li he is a political candidate i "his
reports may possibly be colored on
one hand or viewed with jsus
picion on the other."
Tydings acted within a ; few
hours after Senator Taft (rW)hio
cut loose with a blast accusing the
democratic majority on the five
man Tydings committee of making
"no real effort to find out the
truth" in connection with Senator
McCarthy's charges that reds have
infested the government ;

Special Crime
Query Move
WASHINGTON, April 12 -MV
The Senate republican policy com
mittee decided today to oppose an
administration move to turn over
a crime investigation to a special
five-man committee.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said GOP
leaders felt the democrats had
proposed a special committee
largely "to eliminate the senators
who know the most about it and
are the most interested in it" He
referred to Senators Ferguson (R-
Mich) and Ionnell fK-Mo) who
had ekpected to take part in the
probe as members of the Judiciary
committee.
Even before the policy com
mittee decision, republican sena
tors had been making some point
ed comments about the unsolved
killings of Charles Binaggio, a
Kansas; City political: leader, and
his ex-convict associate, Charles
Gargotta.
Senator Kem (R-Mo) told the
senate in a speech that the slay
ings which took place in a North
side political club in Kansas City
recently gave evidence of "the
close liaison between politics and
the underworld in Kansas City.

WASHINGTON. April 12-(JP)-
Harry S. Truman started his sixth

shaken substitute called by trage
dy to take command in the great

He is cantain and Quarterback
on the first team now, confirmed
by the people's vote. And as such
he is calling his own plays in
stead of trying to base decisions
ion what Franklin D. Roosevelt
would have done.
It was iust five years ago to
day that President Roosevelt died
at Warm Springs, Ga., and Vice
President Truman was called nur
riedly to the White House to be
sworn in as his successor.
And it will be five years tomor

of them old friends from his days
on Capitol Hill:
I don't know If any of you fel

Republicans
Told to Quit
Rocking Boat
PRINCETON, N. J- April 12
(JP) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York tonight called on Pres
ident Truman to set up a "genu
ine bipartisan" foreign policy and
told his fellow republicans to
stop rocking the boat.
The former republican presi
dential candidate, speaking at
Princeton university on the
American political system, called
on both major parties for "a su
preme and unified effort to save
the world s freedom.
He said the nation should stop
watching continuous communist
successes "with the calm of a
Buddha contemplating his navel."
The country's capital, he said,
now "conveys the impression of
fiddling while freedom burns."
Dewey said a real bi-partisan
foreign policy would require "a
radical improvement in the atti
tude of both the democratic na
tional administration and sections
of the republican party."
President Truman in a step to
ward a bi-partisan policy last
week appointed Dewey's friend
and foreign affairs advisor John
Foster Dulles as consultant to
Secretary of State Dean Acheson.
He said the democratic admin
istration itself was to blame for
past instances of republican re
fusal to cooperate in bi-partisan
prosecution of the cold war.
But he cautioned fellow GOP
eaders that "to any sincere offer
of bi-partisanship at a time like
this, the republican party must
of course respond."
"Before any republican rejoices
at the possible shipwreck of the
foreign policy of the democratic
administration," Dewey said, "he
should remember that we are all
in the same boat"
