President Walter Reuther of
J the big labor organization set

i that the administration's do-

Doui paa.
He said a "lack of decisive

of Sen. McCarthy (R., Wis.),
have sent this country's pres-
tige in Europe tumbling to an
; "all-time low."
Reuther, who recently re
turned from Europe, said Mc
' Carthy "divides, confuses and
( demoralizes our friends and
allies."
The CIO chief accused the
administration of "backing

pressures." He called on Pres

However, he added, "t still
