tor Mccarthy would not say what
testimony would be given by the
witnesses. He did disclose. how
ever. that Alfred Kohlberg, New
York importer of Chinese textiles,
was Just one of thousands" CIV
ing him data, but would not be
one of the witnesses, the Associ-
ated Press said.
Replying to a question as to
whether he thought Mr.. Latti-
more was "a dupe of the Commu-
nists,' the Senator replied, Il
think baltimore is too brilliant
to be used by the Communists"
He added, the Associated Press
said, If baltimore is right, then
the Communist Party is right.
Their platform are almost iden-
tical"
Renews Attack on Jessup.
The accusations against Mr..
baltimore were originally made
in two speeches on the Senate
floor. one last February and the
other a little more than a week
ago. and before a Senate COM
mittee under which Senator Nc
Carthy had immunity from libel
action
In his Washington statements,
Mr.. Peurifoy did not refer to Mr..
baltimore, who, the department
says. has never been employed
by it.
Senator Mccarthy in his speech
renewed his attack on Philip c..
Jessup, right-hand adviser to Sec
retary of State Acheson, and
John S. Service, United States
diplomat.
He did not repeat some of his
previous charges against DR.. Jes-
sup and Mr.. Service. but he dared
them to sue him for libel.
Mr.. Peurifoy did not mention
either man by name in his brief
statement, but in an obvious ref
erence to Senator McCarthy's S
previous charges about DR.. Jessup,
he said
The man whom Senator Nc
Carthy first charges with an un-
usual affinity for Communist
causes is now a man who was
once connected with an organiza-
ton the Senator does not like"
Carefully Phrased Innuendo.
And of the Servise case, Mr..
Peurifoy said:
THE man whom Senator Nc
Carthy first tried to label as one
of group of 'card-carrying Com
munists' now is described in care
ly-phrased innuendo.
In that innuendo the Senator
conceals the fact that this man
was reinstated in the Department
of State by former Secretary of
State Games F. Byrnes and
Uudersecretary of State Joseph)
Grew. both of whose letters on
the subject we're made public by
them at the time"
In another connection, Mr..
Peurifoy said Senator McCarthy's
charges are damaging the State
Department throughout the world.
Speaking in a radio interview
with Bert Andrews on Station
WMAL, he said the wild charges"
of Senator Mccarthy have done
immeasurable harm. Need
less injury on a lot of people {.
publicly branded as spies and
traitors and the like before they
have even been given a chance to
defend themselves It's a
pretty sickenlng thing"
Mr.. Andrews remarked that
much suspicion about the depart
ment grew out of the events lead
ing up to the conviction Of Alger
Hiss" rs
Mr.. Peurifoy said he does not
believe that the conviction of one
man Should be used to smear the
10000 loyal. hard-working en-
ployeS of the State Department. +"
He expressed that there isn't a
single disloyal employe" in the de-
partment today.

The American Foreign Service
Journal, publication of the Ameri-
can Foreign Service Association,
yesterday cautioned American dip
lomats not to let the case of Mr..
Service sWerve them from their
duty in making their reports &C
cording to their best judgment.

years hence. the publication said.

part tonight in a forum discus
