tude toward the recent manifesto
Of thh British Labor Party which
threw cold water on the Shuman
progam for pooling coal and steel
resources of Western Europe and
plans for better economic cooper
alton.
There is a strong feeling that
If the United States is to continue
its financial support of Britain
under the Marshall Plan the Brit
ish should show some signs of fall
ing in with the plans for economic
cooperation in Western Europe.
Other questions which Mr.
Acheson may be called on to dis
cuss include the situation in the
Far East, particularly China and
FormoSa; recognition Of the Chi
nese Communist government by
this country and the United Ma
tionS
Reaction on "McCarthyism."
Also. while Senator Mccarthy
Republican, of Wisconsin, may not
be mentioned by name during the
round-table discussion, some of
the Governors want to know just
what the situation is in Wash
ington and the State Department,
and whether there still are securi-
ty risks in the department.
AS the Governors gathered for
their AID annual conference yes
terday. some of the Republicans
expressed differing views on" Nc
Carthyisn."
Gov. Dewey of New York said
he had a mixed reaction" to the
Wisconsin Senator's charges con-
corning communism in the State
Department.
But Cows. Warren of California
and Duff of Pennsylvania, both
high in COP councils and presi-
DENTAL hopes, condemned Senator
McCarthy's blanket" accusations
The three Governors also ap-
peared to, hold differing views on
the effect that Senator McCarthy's s
charges would have on the politi-
cal fortunes of their party.
Says Mccarthy Speaks for Self.
Gov. Warren. running for a
third term. told reporters he be-
lieves Senator Mccarthy speaks
for himself and not for the Re-
publican Party. He criticized
random, blanket charges without
specific data to back them up."
He also pooh-pooed the idea that
communism charges will play any
part in his campaign against
James Roosevelt, Democratic NOM
inee for Governor Of California.
In Gov. Duff's opinion, however.
the people of Pennsylvania and
other States are considerably con-
cerned about the possibility that
some Communists or fellow trav-
elers hold offices in the Govern
ment. He declared the admins
tration was not coming clean"
with facts about subversives.
Both Governors expressed dis
satisfaction with Presidents
course in the present investiga- -
tion. They also contended that
the inquiry conducted by the SEN
ate subcommittee lacked vigor
and it should be supplanted by a
bipartisan inquiry. through a new
agency.
Doesn't Deny Security Problem.
Gov. Warren said:
II believe that when it comes
to convicting people of miscon-
duct and perhaps destroying their
regulations, certain fundamental
procedures called for by the Con-
stftution and by law are tremen-
dously important
The California Governor said
he did not wish to be understood
as denying the existence of a Sc
curity problem in the Govern
ment. but he did not like to hear
Senator McCarthy's type of cam
paign described as Republican
action.
"The mere fact that Mccarthy
is a Republican," he said, docs
not necessarily mean that what
he does is matter of Republican
Party action"
Dewey Doesn't Elaborate.
While Gov. Dewey did not
elaborate on his mixed reaction"
to Senator McCarthy's charges,
he indicated he was more i'm
pressed than Cows. Warren and
Duff with the possibility thai
Senator Mccarthy, despite his
