itself"
No M-Will Toward Mccarthy.
He said he was not criticizing
any specific individual and be-
lieves that both parties have con-
tributed to a situation which Is
destroying the Government"
Il am opposed to this procedure
of charges and counter charges
which cannot possibly get at the
bottom of the case" the Senator
added.
He said he had no ill-wiil
toward Senator Mccarthy and
wish him success in his political
ventures. But he added:
MY criticism is that he Sc

charges"
While declaring he thought
Senator Mccarthy had done a
service in pointing out the stu
alton, the Minnesotan said he
believed the Wisconsin Republi-
can should have gone first to
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee"

adequate investigation" he added,
then he could have gone to the
Senate floor and blasted"
Mccarthy to Continue.
Senator Mccarthy made 1t clear
in a Senate speech Friday that
he will carry on his attacks re-
gardless Of the attitude of his
Republican colleagues or anyone
In the administration.
Commenting last night on Sena-
tor Thye's suggestions, Senator
Mccarthy said in a statement:
II am encouraged by the fact
that after four months of COM
plete lack of help on his part in
the fight to expose Communists in
the Government, Senator Thye
finally shows some interest.
Yesterday I was worried by the
indication that he had joined
with his Democratic colleague
from Minnesota, Senator Hum
phrey. in a bipartisan move to
protect the Communists and the
perverts in the State Department.
Today. however. his new and
heretofore unthought-of sugges-
ton that all the files be opened
indicates deep thought and study
on the subject"

In another development, Sena-
tor Mccarthy fired a new blast
at the Democratic-controlled Sen
ate Foreign Relations subcommit-
tee which is investigating his
charges.

Dear Mr.. Chairman:

in existence nearly four months
during which time my task of
forcing upon you proof of COM
munism in the State Department
is meeting with more and more
resistance from you and your staff.

force proof upon your committee.
"(3 When you are finally

secret the evidence which will ex-
pose Communists in the State
Department and make public any
testimony which, will serve to
whitewash.
80 To utilize the State De-
partment's entire press corps and
the Communists poison-pen art
lists to attack the wife and family
of any witness who dares to tell
the truth about Communists in
Government and to attempt to
personally destroy such witness.
"(5 To utilize the vast and ex-
pensive press and publicity corps
of the entire Government to sell
the American people>the idea that
If Mccarthy could not succeed in
forcing you to make an about

to the public proof of communism
in the State Department, that
then no such proof exists.
Cites Van Beuren Testimony.
Unfortunately, you were hav-
