the party's official publication. Mr.
Boyle advised:
Keep on refusing to let ire
sponsible charges by some Repub-
licans lead us into retaliation with
the same kind of dangerous par
on foreign issues.
I'VE should all deny false
charges and defend Secretary
Acheson and the State Depart
ment. But we should make our
replies dignified and factual and
not retaliate with the sort of per-
sonal vilification that some have
injected into the loyalty investiga-

Catholic Paper Censures Met Carthy.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Review,

Of Baltimore and Washington,
called on Senator Mccarthy to
put up or shut up" on his charges
that Communists have infiltrated
the State Department.
In an editorial the Review said:
I'VE think it is time to cut out
the talk and come up with the
facts. If Senator Mccarthy has
the goods he claims to have, now
is the time to produce them. AS
the kids used to put it. Put up
or shut up"
1T will do no good to say that
the evidence cannot be used, has
disappeared, is confidential. Those
are things the Senator should
have considered before making his

If documents have disappeared

a forseeable event for which the
Senator must take the blame"

expert. and his statement that he
would stand or fall" with this
case in his accusations against
the State Department. The SEN
ator has accused Mr.. baltimore
Of being member of the Com
Party and Russia's top spy
in this country-charges vehe-
denied by Mr.. baltimore
in testimony before the Senate
group.
"Lattimore's appearance and
complete rejection of Senator Nc
Carthy's accusations make it i'm
perative that the Senator produce
the proof. by documents and wit
nesses, which he claims to have
in his possession" the editorial
added.
His failure to make good his
charges against baltimore will
have the effect of clearing others
whom he has accused. In a word,
the Senator will no longer be a
credible witness"

Carthy claims will support his
charges against Mr.. baltimore will
