Sen. McCarthy Says
Truman Sent Phony
Oder, Phony Files
Washington, May 6 (U.R)
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy ac
cused President Truman tonight
of making a "phony offer of
phony files" in an "operation
whitewash" of the Wisconsin
republican's charges of com
munism and sex perversion in
the stute department.
McCarthy called on the presi
dent to establish a nAv loyalty
board headed by FBI Chief J.
Edgar Hoover with unlimited
power to rid the government of
the "prancing mimics of the
Moscow party line."
In a speech before the Mid
west Council of Young Repub
licans at Chicago, the senator
assailed Mr. Truman's decision
to give a senate investigating
subcommittee access to state de
partment loyalty files on Mc
Carthy's original "81 cases."
This was "deceit and dis
honesty," McCarthy said, and
meant only the "skinny rib
bones" of loyalty files which he
maintained easily could be strip
ped of damaging material in
advance.
McCarthy scored the presi
dent's decision to open files on
the cases he cited in the Febru
ary 20 senate speech which
touched off the current Investi
gation. The president, he said,
made the decision in order to
make his forthcoming cross
country junket less embarras
sing."
