It's Just a Pack of Lies Says Sinatra LONDON, May 20 -(AV Frank Sinatra tonight angrily described reports of a romantic , triangle involving himself, screen actress Ava Gardner, and a Spanish bull fighter as Ma lie, a vicious lie, and not a word of it is true.' "Why should Ava be the butt of this sort of vicious gossip?" he indignantly asked reporters be fore flying off to New York. "We ' are very, very dear friends nothing more, nothing less." Questioned about the love tri angle story as he waited for cus toms clearing at the London air port, Sinatra stamped his foot, then Rooked stern. Ava was given a very bad shock by this business" he said. "She has come off very badly it's all a great shame. She's a wonderful person, and she's, done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment." Sinatra visited Miss Gardner in Spain, where she -is making a movie. While they were together, Spanish Bullfighter Mario Cabre was telling the world his love for the beautiful, dark-haired actress. Sinatra blamed the Spanish press for tne smatra-uaraner-Cabre reports. "They've been responsible for nearly all of it," he said. "The only time you ever hear of Spain is when someone like myself goes there. I can tell you I am very unhappy about this business. As for the poor ydung bullfighter, I never met him in all my life. It's not true that I phoned Ava every night since I left here. It's a lie that we rowed before I lelt. It s all lies, every word of it." And with that, Sinatra sun tanned, wearing apalr of crumpl ed grey flannels and a light sports Jacketboarded his waiting plane.

May 20-FV The state department charged to night that Senator McCarthy had deliberately misquoted a ; con gressional report to imply falsely that loyalty files were wide open, to anyone m ine oepanxneni. Actually , access to the files is strictly limited." the department said. It accused McCarthy of a crude misquotation" in which he substituted the name of the de partment itself for 'the name of its security division. I This was done ,in a Chicago speech May 6, .the department said. It made . public , its second point-by-point analysis of an ad dress by the Wisconsin republi can senator who has carried on a running attack against the depart ment as a hotbed of communism. The department statement picked the speech apart in an at tempt to shoyr McCarthy wrong on 14 points. These included, a number of previously denied and refuted" charges, which drew a new broadside of replies. It led off, with a blow aimed at McCarthy's assertion that state de partment loyalty files furnished to a? senate committee investigating his charges were "phony." The senate investigators now are going through these records which deal with the cases of 81 persons whom McCarthy, has. labeled as communists or fellow travelers. The records were released to con gress by President Truman Mc Carthy immediately charged the files had been "raped" and "purg ed." The state department observed that "the facts" about its files giv en the committee are that they are "full and complete . . . current as of the date transmitted. They con tain ail information relevant to the determination of employe loyalty or security."
