Mccarthy Late

If Senator Mccarthy had begun making his charges in 1946 when first elected to the Senate, not only would he have been entirely justified, but he might have stop ped the leaking of some secrets. All he had to do between 1495 and l947, was to have read this col umn. It gave him plenty of ann munition.
 But now, after the horse is stolen and the stable door is locked, the Senator from Wisconsin first claim ed that there are still POT card carrying Communists in the State Department" Then, when called upon to prove it, he reduced his figure to 57. Later he brought this down to one man, Owen Latti- more, who, aside from two con- sultations, has not worked for any branch of the government for five years.
 Note-one effect of the Mccarthy charges has been such terror in- side the State Department that if newspaperman walks up to a U. s. diplomat today and asks him what time it is, the diplomat looks over both shoulders and whispers Sorry, no comment"

 The story was considered so sen sational that many newspapers did not publish it. One year and a half later, it made headlines when officially revealed by Congress ional committee.
 Situation as of nOw-Today the American people are harassed, wor- ried, and sometimes seething mad They don't know whom to believe Mccarthy, Tydings, or whoi And I don't particularly blame them.

 Today the secrets are stolen. But likewise the present adminls- tration of the State Department has done the greatest personnel housecleaning of all time. It was the Acheson regimen which busted a long list of bad security risks
 And though Acheson personally pulled boner in indicating his continued personal loyalty for AL ger Hiss, the real fact is that the men under him have orders to do thorough, vigorous job on loy- alty checks. Acheson's loyalty re- view board, incidentally, is under New Hampshire Republican, Gen. Conrad E. Snow, recommended to Acheson by Russina-baiter COP Sen. Styles Bridges.
