Mentions skeleton Files"
Referring to the State Depart
ment files which President Tru-
man has made available for in
spection by subcommittee men,
bers. Senator Mccarthy insisted
that they were only skeleton
files" He said he had evidence
to show that the files not only
were inadequate, but that many
Of them had been completely
rifled."
He asserted that practically
every one" in the State Depart
ment division had free access to
take material from the files.
In effect there is no way Of
knowing whether or not any Ale
was complete" he said:
Senator Mccarthy also referred
to John Carter Vincent, former
head Of the Far Eastern Division
in the State Department. 1t was
disclosed last week that he hae
named Mr.. Vincent as another
State Department official who hae
followed the Communist line. HI
declared today that Senator
Bridges, Republican. of New
Hampshire, had questioned thu
fitness of Mr.. Vincent more thar
three years ago and had informed
Mr.. Acheson that Mr.. Vincent
"had been following the officially
published Communist program fol
the conquest of Asia down to the
last comma"
Will Speak to Editors.
Returning to the subject of Mr.
Budenz, Senator Mccarthy as.
serted that the witness had told
the Senate subcommittee that Mr.
baltimore was a member OF
Communist cell.
"On May Is when I am to speak
before an editors convention.
intend to answer in detail this
vicious assault made on a witness
upon whom the Department of
Justice and the FBI have placed
great reliance in the prosecution
of dangerous enemies of the coun-
try like the II top Communist
leaders found guilty before Judge
Medina"
The State Department took new
issue with Senator Mccarthy last
night in a statement issued by
Assistant Secretary Edward w.
Barrett. 1t dealt point by point
with what Mr.. Barrett called
some of the inaccuracies" in
Senator McCarthy's April 20
speech to the American Society of
Newspapers Editors.
Senator Mccarthy promptly
challenged the Barrett statement.
saying it contains at least sew
eral glaring and apparently de-
liberate misstatements of the fact
and number of deceitful attempts
to play upon words"
Mr.. Barrett's analysis of the
Mccarthy April 20 speech was
mailed to more than 500 of the
Nations editors.
Mccarthy Statements Disputed.
In it, Mr.. Barrett took issue with
many Mccarthy statements, in
Guiding the one that the Senator
never claimed to have had the
names of 205 known Communists
allegedly working in the State De-
partment.
Senator Mccarthy telephoned
the Associated Press bureau In
Washington from New York City
to make his reply to what he
called the State Department
white paper" issued by Mr.. Bar
rett.
He said he had not seen the
document itself, adding from the
brief reports on it in the news
papers, however, I note that il
contains at least several glarine
and apparently deliberate mis-
statements of fact and a number
of deceitful attempts to play upon
words.
For example, the State De-
partment says that DR.. Jessup's
only connection with the Institute
of Pacific Relations was as a
member of the Board Of Trustees.
