view boards recommendation
that Mr.. Vincent be fired.
Near the end of the Truman
Administration, Mr.. Acheson set
up a special board, headed by
Judge Learned B. Hand, to re-
view the whole case and advise
him.
Mr.. Dulles dismissed this spe-
cial board soon after he became
Secretary of State. advising
Judge Hand on January 20 that
he would examine the record
himself and take action on his
own responsibility.
Mr.. Acheson had said it was
difficult for him to exercise such
responsibility without further ad-
vice, partly because Of CON
fusion" as to what weight the
review board gave to Mr.. Budenz'
testimony and the findings of
the McCarran committee.
Heart of the Matter.
Mr.. Acheson also asserted that
the review boards communica-
ton of its findings against Mr..
Vincent raised the issue of "ac-
curate reporting" which "goes
to the heart of the operation of
the State Department and For
eign Service"
The phrase that bothered Mr..
Acheson was the one about Mr..
Vincent's alleged studied praise"
of the Chinese Communists and
criticism of the Chang Kai-shek
government.
Mr.. Vincent served in the
American Embassy in China dur
ing the first part Of World War
II, before being transferred to
the State Department in 1943 as
assistant chief of the Far East
ern Affairs Division. He was in
the key post Of director Of the
Office Of Far Eastern Affairs at
the end of the war and during
the years the Chinese Commu-
nists drove Chang Kai-shek's
Nationalist forces from the China
mainland.
Mr.. AcheSon insisted that it
was Mr.. Vincent's duty to "re-
port the facts as he saw them"
If this involved reporting that
reforms were needed in the Ma
tionalist regime, or warning not
to underestimate the strength Of
the Chinese Communists, it was
his duty to do so. Mr.. Acheson
said.
Mr.. Vincent rode out the storm
of controversy in Tangier, Mo-
rocco. where he had been United
States diplomatic agent since
June 9. 1851. He had been sus-
pended from his duties since the
December Loyalty Review Board
ruling.
Mr.. Vincent entered the For
eign Service in 1924 as a clerk
in China. A native of Seneca,
Kans., he had gone to high school
and Mercer University in Macon,
Ca, and had served in the Army
in 1918.
He worked his way up in the
foreign service as a specialist
on China affairs. ending years
of service in that country as
counselor Of the American En-
hassv in Ch1lnpkinp in 1919

Vincent Retirement
Hit by Mccarthy
And McCarran
BY Gornett D. Horner

Secretary of State Dulles de-
cision to retire John Carter Vim
cent, career diplomat who long
has been center of controversy
regarding past China policy, met
mixed reaction today.
Mr.. Dulles cleared Mr.. Vim
cent on loyalty and security risk
charges, but ruled that his ac-
tive service must end because his
policy advice" and other work
had not come up to standard.
Senator McCarran, Democrat
Of Nevada, one of Mr.. Vincent's
chief critics on Capitol Hill, de-
Scribed the decision as a Sub
terfuge" which "does not dc
much credit" to Mr.. Dulles.
Good Service Reward.
Senator Mccarthy, Repub-
hcan, of Wisconsin, who once
called Mr.. Vincent a Soviet
espionage agent" had this to
say:
"a pension is a reward for
having served well. Under nc
circumstances should any one
like Vincent, having been re-
jected by the Loyalty Board, be
entitled to any pension"
His comment was aimed at Mr.
Dulles announcement that Mr..
Vincent would be retired. effec-
tive March 81, on pension of
about $8.100 a year. Mr.. Vim
cent is So and has spent 20
years With the State Depart
ment.
The House heard a demand by
Representative Clardy, Repub-
lican. of Michigan that Congress
refuse to appropriate money for
Mr.. Vincent's pension.
Mr.. Clardy, a member of the
House Committee on Un-
American Activities. said his
study of Mr.. Vincent's activities
disclosed many things to justify
a finding much harsher" than
the statement of Secretary
Dulles. He urged the House
Appropriations Committee to
strike from the State Depart
ment budget any provision for
payment of a pension to 'Mr.
Vincent.
Colleagues of Mr.. Vincent in
the Foreign Service were pleased
at Mr.. Dulles rejection of a
Civil Service Commission Loyal
ty Board Review finding Of
reasonable doubt" about Mr..
Vincent's loyalty. Their general
reaction was that the action
would improve Foreign Service
morale.
hamper Feared.
Some felt, however, that the
apparent penalizing of Mr.. Vim
cent for having sponsored views
a few years ago that now are in
disfavor would put a damper on
objective reporting by other
diplomats. Others believed re-
tiring Mr. Vincent. instead Of
firing him took the sting out of
this.
Mr.. Dulles announced his de-
cision yesterday after personal
consultations with Mr.. Vincent
and careful study of records in
the case, covering several in
vestigations of pro-Communist
charges against Mr.. Vincent.
In a lengthy memorandum,
the Secretary stated:
81. I do not believe the record
shows that Mr.. Vincent is a Sc
curity' risk.
"2. I do not find that 'on all
the evidence, there is reasonable
doubt as to the loyalty of Mr..
Vincent. =.
"3. I have, however, con-
cluded that Mr.. Vincent's re-
porting of the facts, evaluation
of the facts. and policy advice
during the period under review
show a failure to meet the stand

WASHINGTON R-The bill to

submerged lands off their shores,

than a month, may pick up marked
speed and wind up within a few
days on the desk of President
Eisenhower, who has indicated he

The measure which the Senate

respect and some minor ones from
the measure approved earlier by

But efforts were being made to

leadership that the best course
would be for the House to accept
the Senate version, rather than
risk a new Senate talkfest over
q compromise.
No action was likely today, since
the House scheduled only memor-
ial services for members and for

likely that the House win be asked

other hand, as 4 matter Of justice

said, had assumed for $50 years
that they owned the submerged
lands within their historic boun-

oil are California, Texas and
