Didn't Repeat Charges"
Mr.. baltimore has repeatedly
challenged Senator Mccarthy to
repeat his charges in some situa-
tion where he does not have con-
gressional protection from libel
suits.
"Of course" he said after SEN
ator McCarthy's speech today
the Senator did not repeat his
charges. He knew better than to
make them in an unprivileged
speech.
Again the Senator weaseled y
Mr.. baltimore said. He knows
that the charges are false, and he
is frantically trying to hide be-
hind his senatorial immunity
while pretending to come out in
the open. He must have a
low opinion of the intelligence of
the American press and the pub
lie"
Mr.. baltimore declared that if
Senator Mccarthy were a man
of his word, he would perform on
his twice-repeated promise to re-
sign from the Senate. That is
the best possible way in which he
can serve his country"
Mr.. baltimore was referring to
Senator McCarthy's statements
that he would resign from the
Senate if the day ever came when
he would not make off the Sen
ate f1oor-free from Congressional
lmmunity-any charges which he
voiced in Congress.
Goodwin Willing to Testify.
While testifying before the
Senate Foreign Relations Sub
committee last Thursday. Mr..
baltimore said Senator Nc
Carthy's accusations against him
were base and contemplate lies
based in part on information sup
piled by hackers of the Nationalist
government of China. He said
the Senator was the simple
dupe" of such persons.
He named as one of them Will
liam j. Goodwin, who is regis
tered under the lobbying act as
an agent of the Nationalist gov
ernment.
Mr.. Goodwin said at his home
in Roslyn, N. Y, yesterday that
he has wired Tydings offering to
appear before the Senate Com
mittee. He said he told Senator
Tydings:
If words and acts of the State
and it's spokesmen
that promoted or tended to pro-
mote the cause of Communism in
China and other countries are of
interest to you I shall be glad to
testify On this subject with all
the evidence, in my possession"
Mr.. Goodwin also said he was
shocked that the subcommittee
except for Senator
Hickenlooper. Iowa Republican,
were not disturbed by Mr.. Latti-
appearance.
r Attacks Pacific Institute.
He said he referred to a por-
ton of Mr.. Lattimore's testimony
which he interpreted as a "hor-
proposal that we must en-
courage = Communist regime in
China"
Il am filled with shame and
loathing and contempt for those
responsible for this indecent at
front to me and my fellow coun-
trymen." Mr.. Goodwin said.
Mr.. baltimore has said if his
advice on Far Eastern policy had
been followed, the Communists
might not control that country.
Turning to DR.. Jessup in his
Passalc speech, Senator Mccarthy
said that the Institute of Pacific
Relations which he called "Jes-
sup's organization" had cham
pioned in 1943 a smear of Chang
Kai-shek and started "the myth"
that China's Reds weren't really
Communists. He said that Com
money" helped pay for the
campaign.
DR.. Jessup has replied that he
wasn't in charge of the institute
at the time; that much of its ex-
penses came from the Rockefeller
Foundation, the Carnegie Corp.
and large industrial concerns, and
