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.

Misquotation
Lhargc Hurled
WASHINGTON. 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."
