In February 1950 Senator Joseph R McCarthy of Wisconsin claimed that 205 State Department employees were communists who were disloyal to the United States. McCarthy enjoyed a highly successful few years by making these charges of disloyalty that, though mostly undocumented, badly hurt government employees, teachers, and university professors.
Noong Pebrero 1950 senador Joseph R McCarthy ng Wisconsin inaangkin na 205 State Department empleyado ay mga komunista na ang traidor sa Pilipinas. McCarthy masaya ng isang mataas na matagumpay na ilang mga taon sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng mga singil ng pagtataksil na, bagaman karamihan undocumented, malubha saktan ng mga empleyado ng gobyerno, mga guro, at unibersidad professors.
