1 ~ "'e 'NSsSS'S'Sb aieSe
Senator McCarthy's new charge
of foreign agent" against Unit
ed States envoy confronted Senate
investigators today.
Senator Mccarthy. Wisconsin
Republican, made the accusation
at a news conference after a
speech at GAINESVILLE, Wis.
He did not identify the individ-
ual publicly, but described him in
a speech as "a United States Min
lister to a foreign country" whose
name he previously had given to
the Senate Foreign Relations sub
committee investigating his
charges of communism in the
State Department.
That committee booked a closed
meeting today to arrange a study
of State Department files made
available to the inquiry group by
President Truman. The records
cover 81 persons-including the
accused envoy-cited by Senator
Mccarthy as either Communists,
fellow travellers, or otherwise bad
security risks.
Files Delayed For Day.
Chairman Tydings got word
however. that the files were not
yet ready for the groups inspec-
tion. The start on looking them
over was put off until tomorrow
and today's committee session
was cancelled.
The 81 cases on which the COM
mittee will get State Department
files were outlined to the Senate
by Senator Mccarthy last Febru-
ary 20. He gave no names then,
but later listed them for the in
quiry group. The names have not
been made public.
Chairman Tydings said in a
radio broadcast yesterday that the
State Departments files will pro-
vide conclusive true or false
answer on McCarthy's charges.
Tydings Explains Inquiry.
Senator Tydings said Senator
Mccarthy told the Senate in Feb
ruary that "all the information
he had to support the assertions
he was making came from the
State Departments own files"
Senator Tydings added that the
committee. when it has completed
its examination of the depart.
ment files. actually will know
more than Senator Mccarthy die
when he made the charges.
He didn't say he had the files
or had seen the files" Senator

Thursday to London. The meet
ings will deal with ways to con-
tain Communist expansion all
over the world.
But Mr.. Acheson's meeting with
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman today was reported to
deal primarily with Indo-C China.
The French have been fighting a
stalemated jungle war there since
1946 against the guerrilla forces
of Moscow trained Ho Chi Mini.
Steps to independence Favored.
The Secretary of State met Mr.
Schuman armed with the appar-
emily firm United States Govern
ment conviction that Bao Dai, the
French-sponsored ruler of the
Indo-Chinese state of Wet Nam
must be made a more valid SYM
bol of opposition to communism.
Bao Dai's regime is opposed by
Hos jungle government, which is
recognized by Moscow, Commu-
mist China and most of the Soviet
satellite nations. Many national
iStic Indo-Chinese have been re-
luctant to throw in their lot with
Bao Dai because the French so fal
have granted only limited auton-
omy to the French backed regime
Diplomatic informants said Mr.
Acheson will ask Mr.. Schumar
for assurances that steps towarc
independence will be taken as fast
as the guerrilla war allows.
SIS Million Promised.
Americans have stated repeat
edly that American policy con-
tains not the slightest suggestion
of opposition to the French Unior
which links metropolitan France
with her overseas territories.
All Mr.. Acheson wants to know
now, informed sources said, il
whether Indo-China will get true
independence. with the French
Union retaining only some diplo.
matte links like the British Com.
monwealth, or whether America
is being asked to foot the bill fol
