While Senator Mccarthy put
himself temporarily under wraps
on the files issue, Senator Wherry
of Nebraska. the Republican floor
leader, spoke out promptly in
sharp criticism of the President.
Senator Wherry demanded that
the committee be given access to
the FBI files. He said Mr.. Tru-
man was afraid to face the people
on his forthcoming Western tour
without permitting the committee
to get at the State Department
documents.

The 81 cases Senator Mccarthy
outlined to the Senate do not in
clude the major one he later pre-
sented to the inquiry committee

Senator Mccarthy has accused

No. l spy in the United States.
Mr.. baltimore has denied that
under oath. He also swore he
never was a Communist - as
charged by ex-Communist Louis
Budenz.
Senator Mccarthy has said he
is willing to let all of his charges
against the State Department
stand or fall on the baltimore
case. He has demanded re-
peatedly that the committee be
given a look at the FBI's raw file
on Mr.. baltimore. So far the
committee has seen only an FBI
summary.
Also not included in the 81
cases are Senator McCarthy's ac-
cusations against John S. Service,
career diplomat. Senator Nc
Carthy said he does not believe
Haldore Hanson, State Department
official, was among the 81 either.
Both Accused by Mccarthy.
Both Mr.. Service and Mr.. Han
