he warned that deployment oi
troops over Europe could set of
an incident and lead to war.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin said in a speech
prepared for delivery in the Sen
ate today that the United States
must help build up Western Eu-
rope before the Russians perfect
guided missiles to stop planes
carrying the A-bomb.
He called for action to integrate
Japan. Nationalist China, Spain
and Western Germany into anti
Communist defenses.
At the same time, he charged
that President Truman's "fantas-
tic" order to the 7th Fleet to pre-
vent Nationalist landings in China
had freed Red troops to kill Amer
leans in Korea.
"Sell-out" of China Charged.
Asserting there is no way to
defend Western Europe without
using the manpower of Western
Germany and Spain, Senator Nc
Carthy said a State Department
clique he blamed for the "sell-out"
of China had tied the hands"
of Gen. Eisenhower in this re-
spect.
Senator Mccarthy said Russia
is deferred from starting a war
now because long range American
planes would wipe out Soviet in
dustry with atomic bombs.
He said, however, that Russia,
with a vast number of Captured
German scientists. is working
feverishly to perfect that guided
missile of the air, a missile that
will track down and destroy
planes in the air"
Senator Mccarthy said Gen.
Eisenhower's hands were tied, as
the North Atlantic defense force
commander, "by the same crowd
that has tied the hands of Mac
Arthur in the east"
May Be Taken for Ride.
'If good natured Ike isn't care
full, he is going to be taken for
an awful ride" the Wisconsin

He blamed Secretary of State
Acheson and Owen baltimore.
whom the Wisconsin Senator has
charged with being Russia's top
spy in this country, for the poll
cies in the Far East.
Senator Mccarthy suggested
some diplomats would like to see
Europe fall to the Russians.
I'VE are preparing to allow
Western Europe to fall without
having it appear that we pushed
her" he said. 1T matters not
whether we send one American
division or 10.
1T matters not whether Eisen-
hover is the most brilliant mill
tary genius the world has ever
produced. He cannot defend West
ern Europe without the manpower
of Spain and Western Germany"
House G. o. P. Plans Rider.
In the House, Republicans
planned an attempt to attach to
military manpower bill a pro-
vision requiring congressional ap-
proval of troop transfers to Gen.
Eisenhower's force. The Armed
Services Committee kept it out
Of the bill by a 21-to-14 vote
yesterday.
In the Senate a coalition within
the Foreign Relations and Armed
Services Committees linked the
four-division provision with the
congressional approval section on
motion of Senator George, Demo-
crat, of Georgia. The vote was
13 to II. Senators George and
Byrd voted with the Republicans.
Senator Byrd told a reporter
the wording of these provisions
will make it difficult for the ad-
ministration to attempt to strike
the congressional approval clause
from the bill.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas. serving as chairman of the
combined committees, said he
wants to do that.
