One of the main esuses of American reverses id Korea m the apparent inability of both ground and air forree to stop North Korean armor.

But . . . A Wisconsin senator who failed tn his recent attempt to show that member* of the State Department were cunaeetrd. some of them very closely, with the Com munist party waa called a "fraud and a hoax" before his fellow senator! Monday. Republican Senator Joeeph McCarthy formed the basis of the report in Febru ary when he was reported to have said that he had a hat of 206 names (4 |<er»on« "made known to the secretary of state as being member* of the (ommumst party and Who are still working asd shaping policy in the State Dejiartment " When no immediate action was taken by Dean Acheson the senator proceeded to make the (Aargss imbrtcly Hut no similar list or evidence of the accused (ersnos ever having been con nected with tbe Communist partx was to be found in the State I Apartment files Whether there actually was a base for McCarthy'! accusations or whether It was an attempt to caune increased party backing remains to be proven. Of the five men os the investigating committee which formulated the report, only the three Democrats signed it. This make* us wonder whether the other two senator* refused to sign A because of party loyalty, or whether they ten were convtncsd that there was truth m s<sne McCarthy’s se- cufistioni. One of the ftefuibltcsn sens tor* said that he was convinced that Mc Carthy had presented aufftnetit evidence to prove that his chief suspect Owen Lat timore was connected with the Commun ist party If IkCarthy had in mind |>osMbic per sonal advancement when ha began the seemingly fake accusations on data and information that he knew could be found it State Department files, he should cer tainly hsvt used a different method of at tack As It was. his accusations served naily to shatter pabtir opinion at a critical time id our history. This no doubt, would not have been hw purpose, bad Ins state menu been true However, if the Demo critic senator* have 1st their party influ mi or their investigation in possibly over looking some of the unfound evidence that would lend aid to McCarthy they are even more guilty than the Wisconsin senator As citiasas whe cannot personally re view records of our Btote Department, we dsn but hope that Senator McCarthy’s ac cusations were false.
