u. 5. Officials Differ
With Mccarthy Over
Thayer's Separation
BY the Associated Press

The State Department and
Senator Mccarthy. Republican,
of Wisconsin. were in disagree
ment today about the separation
from the foreign service of
Charles Thayer, brother-in-law
of Charles E. (Chip) Bohlen,
nominee for Ambassador to Mos
COW.
Senator Mccarthy told the
been ordered home land is, I
Senate yesterday Mr.. Thayer had
understand, to be dischargedH
He gave no reason.
Says He Resigned.
Lincoln White State Depart
ment press officer, said Mr.. Thay-
er had resigned as Consul and
principal officer for the United
States High Commissioner at
Munich. Germany, because he
wants to devote his full time to
writing" Mr.. White said he did
not know whether the resigna-
ton was requested.
Senator Mccarthy said Mr..
Thayer's activities when he was
head of the "Voice of America"
are "well known to the Senate"
In Munich a close friend OF
Mr.. Thayer explained: Just the
other day, he heard that there
were demands by the Mccarthy
crowd for reopening of his en-
tire case and public review of
1t. I guess he decided the job
wasn't worth being smeared."
The 43-year-old former diplo-
mat was graduated from West
Point in 1888 and served as a
paratroop lieutenant, colonel in
World War II. He served with
the Army and the State Depart
ment in a series of posts, in
Guiding Berlin, Hamburg, Mos
cow, Belgrade and Bonn before
the Munich assignment. Like
Mr.. Bohlen, he is considered one
of the country's top experts on
Russia.
Two Others Fired, He Says.
Senator Mccarthy asserted in
his Senate speech that the State
Department also recently fired
two other persons, Benjamin
Buttenweiser. one-time assistant
High Commissioner for Ger
many, and a woman he identi-
fed as Mrs. E. c. Carter. The
State Department said he ap-
parently referred to a former
Mrs. Margaret Carter. who at
one time held a public liaison
post in the department, and is
now remarked and named Nor
gan. &
Mr.. Buttenweiser and Mrs.
Morgan told newsmen they long
ago resigned from regular jobs
in the State Department, and
subsequently served occasionally
as consultants. The State De-
partment said they were dropped
for economy reasons when the

over the Bohlen appointment.
The split in the C. o. P. is not
wide, but it generated enough
heat and oratory to disrupt
plans for speedy confirmation of
Mr.. Bohlen.
Hugh Gibson Involved.
The dispute which set off the
fireworks did not concern Mr..
Bohlen himself. but whether
Hugh Gibson, former career
diplomat, had Endorsed Mr.. Bob
len for the Russian assignment.
Senators Bridges, Republican,
of New Hampshire. and DirkSen,
Republican. of Illinois, called
Mr.. Gibson at the Mayf1ower
Hotel, and told the Senate they
had been informed Mr.. Gibson
did not pass on the Bohlen
appointment.
Senator Knowland of Califor-
mia, acting Republican floor
leader, promptly telephoned Sec
rotary of State Dulles, who pro-
duced a letter bearing the sigma
lures of Mr.. Gibson and two
other veteran diplomats-Joseph
Grew and Norman Armour-who
had been asked as a committee
of three to advise the Eisen-
hover administration on a long
list of diplomatic assignments.
BOhlen's Name Included.
Senator Knowland said the
letter was attached to a memo
randum containing a list of po-
tential State Department ap-
pointments. including the name
of Mr.. Bohlen for Ambassador
to Russia.
Senator Mccarthy said ad-
miniStration leaders should clear
up all doubt over the indorse-
mentS of the three well-known

consultant rolls were pruned in
recent weeks.
The Wisconsin Senator said
Alger Hiss was "harbored" in
Mr.. Buttenweiser's home between
Hiss two trials. Mr.. Butten-
weiser denied any connection
with the Hiss case, saying he
was in Germany during the
trials, but that his wife, lawyer
was a member of Hiss legal
counsel.
Hiss, former State Department
official, is serving a sentence for
perjury. His conviction was
based on his denial that he had
passed Government secrets to a
Communist spy ring.
Differ on Identity.
Senator Mccarthy described
Mrs. E. c. Carter" as a $5O-a-
day consultant whose husband
headed the Institute of Pacific
Relations. This private research
group has been mentioned often
in congressional Investigations.
Senator Mccarthy said it was
"Communist-controlled."
State Department officials said
Mrs. Morgan was not the wife
of E. c. Carter, former Institute
OF Pacific Relations chief, but
had been married to, and di-
vorced from. his son, William
Carter.
Senator Mccarthy said, with
out elaboration, that r. w. Scott
Mcleod, recently-appointed State
Department security officer,
caused the removal of Mr.. But
tenWeiser and Mrs. Carter.
Mr.. Buttenweiser in New York
said he voluntarily resigned his
full-time State Department post
December /, 1851, and returned
to the banking business in New
York.
Mrs. Morgan said she had left
regular employment in mid-1951
and had done practically moth
ing as a conSultant for more
than year."

Associated Press Stoff Writer

President Eisenhower shook
hands politely last night with
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin, the man who is
battling the Presidents choice
for Ambassador to Moscow.
Whatever feelings the Presi-
dent may have about the hot
Senate fight over Charles E.
(Chip) Bohlen were concealed at
a party given by Senator and
Mrs. Robert A. Taft. But one of
the guests was not so reticent.
AS Senator Mccarthy slipped a
drink, Lady Nancy Astor, Amer
ican-born former member of the
British Parliament and noted
for her acid tongue, commented,
in an aside:
TOO bad it isn't poison"
A reporter asked Senator Nc
Carthy whether he had heard
about Lady AStor's remark.
Yes" he said in mild tones,
1--WE been informed that some
nice. kindly old lady did make
that remark, but I didn't hear
her make it"
Lady Astor is 70.
Mrs. Taft planned the party in
honor Of Mrs. Eisenhower. The
Senator's wife, the warm, vi
vacious half of the husband-and-
wife campaigning team of Bob
and Martha" had hoped her
husband would be president.
Since the summer of 1850, she
has been a semi-invalid as the
result of a stroke. She has been
we'll re e mbered by many
friends and she wanted to have
q party.
Party Grew and Grew.
She had excuses-if a woman
needs one. She had, as house
guests. Mrs. Robert Black of Gin
cinnati, Ohio; her son, Horace.
from Chicago, and his bride of
last fall, and another son, Will
liam Howard Taft III, just nomi-
mated as ambassador to Ireland.
She began by inviting Mrs.
Eisenhower, the Ohio delegation,
some friends. Then the party
just grew and grew"
Soon Senator Taft wanted to
horn in on the hostessing, and
he suggested that President
Eisenhower be invited too.
The guests had begun to arrive
when Senator Taft got home
from the Senate. Mrs. Taft, in
a black frock, purple orchids on
her shoulder, was seated in a
chair in the Tafts' comfortable
living room in their three-story
Victorian red-brick house in
Georgetown.
Mrs. Eisenhower, in a Navy
blue cocktail frock, small blue
hat studded with rhinestones
and orchids on her shoulder,

clusions, and he couldn't say
they're wrong.
He added that he had guessed
wrong about where the pea was
hidden himself.
This was a reference to the
we'll . known pea under shell
swindle game.
More seriously the President
told of his deep interest in the
Bohlen appointment and dis
cussed his past relationship with
the appointee. p
The President also indicated
in rather philosophic vein that
men offering themselves for pub
lie service may expect to be at
tackled. H.
Must Learn to "Take."
Commenting on a statement
by Senator Lehman, Democrat,
Of New York, deploring the
"calumny" to which an ap-
pointee may be subjected, the
President said they have got to
learn to take it and do the best
they can.
Gen. Eisenhower also dis
cussed his own ideas about ap-
pointees after he was asked to
comment on the assertion of
Senator Bridges, Republican of
New Hampshire, that Mr.. Boh-
len was one of the participants
in the Truman-Acheson Far
Eastern policy rejected by the
voters in November.
The President said he had
spent many years in uniform and
that if at any time in that period
he felt that he could not carry
out the instructions of his SUI
periors he would have been
guilty of treason.
A worthwhile public servant,
whether in uniform or civilian
clothes. must either adhere to
the policies under which he is
working or get out, he said.
Insists on Loyalty.
If there are State Department
people who can't give the loyalty
they should to administration
policies, they must resign, Gen.
Eisenhower said. He added that
it is not necessary for them to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-26

agree with what they are doing,
but that they must either be
loyal or get out.
A reporter recalled that dur
ing last years presidential cam
paign Gen. Eisenhower had
drawn a sharp distinction be-
tween Senator Mccarthy S
methods and his detectives. The
reporter asked what the Presi-
dent thought Senator Nc
Carthy's detectives are now.
Rather heatedly, the President
said he was not going to- COM
ment on that. Then he repeated
previous statements that the
Senate and House have a right
to investigate anything they
want to, to root out subversiveS
in the Government.
Cites Need For Wisdom.
Continuing, the President said
he also believes you can damage
from within what you are try
ing to protect from without and
you need some one with real wis
dom to avoid that.
HAS that point been reached
in this case?" a questioner press
ed, $50 - -.
The, Chief Executive paused
momentarily and then said he
believed that was one thing he
would let the reporters specu-
late upon. He said he tries to
avoid criticizing any one as long
as the person is operating in the
public service, and then he
amended it to say any one who
thinks he is operating in public
service.
Gen. Eisenhower replied with
a crisp one word answer-no-
to a question whether he ever
had formed any judgment on
a report by a Senate subcom-
mittee on Senator McCarthy's
finances.
Other developments in the
Senate yesterday included:

publican, of Iowa joined the OPP

Legislature Asked
To Probe $149,176
Loan 10 Mccarthy
BY the Assoeieted Press

MADISON. Wis, Mar. 26.-
Two Democratic assemblymen
proposed today that the Wiscon-
sin Legislature investigate the
propriety of loans made to Sem
ator Mccarthy. Republican of
Wisconsin, by his home town
bank.
The resolution introduced by
Assemblymen Edward MertZ and
Charles Schmidt of Milwaukee
charged that Senator Mccarthy
put up "only fraction" Of the
required collateral in obtaining
a $149,176 loan from the Apple
ton State Bank, December a.
1945.
Inquiry Recommended.
1t accused the Wisconsin
Banking Department of condor.
ing fragrant violation of the
law and recommended that
joint committee of both legisla.
tive houses investigate both the
bank and the banking depart
ment's handling of the McCar.
thy loan. A report would be
made at the present session Of
the legislature.
Tho roco1,,t;o,, eo;I.
With modest 100000 cap
ital and surplus, the Appleton
Bank on December 81, l945,
loaned Senator Mccarthy $149,-
176 with which to buy railroad
stock, thereby making McCar-
thy's aggregate obligation to the
bank $l69,540."
State Laws Cited.
The resolution cited State
laws which limit the amount a
State bank may lend any one
person to 20 per cent of it's cap
ital and surplus. Federal Re-
serve Board regulations, the
resolution continued, require a
person borrowing from a bank
for stock speculation purposes
to pledge collateral in the
amount of at least four times
the loan.
Mccarthy pledged only frac-
ton of the required amount for
security" the proposal stated
1t added:
For years the State Bank.
ing Department has not only
condoned fragrant violation of
the law, but has refused and
failed to make any utterances
relative to law violations by the
Appleton State Bank, and gives
as an excuse for such silence the
law requiring secrecy in such
matters"

vote on the Bohlen nomination
Senator Knowland explained
he could not read all Of the let
ter the diplomats had signed
for the State Department. be-
cause it listed some assignments
that have not yet been settled,
and was a classified document.
Remark Arouses KnOWland.
The Californian's anger dared
when Senator Mccarthy sug-
gested that Senator Dirksen lis
a good security risk" and should
be allowed to see the letter.
Making no effort to conceal
his ire, Senator Knowland de-
manded to know whether Sem
ator Mccarthy was suggesting
that my veracity should be
questioned on the floor" He said
it never had been before.
Let's not get excited over
this" rejoined Senator McCar-
thy. He said he had no doubt
Senator KnoWland had made an
accurate statement about the let
ter. but that he would like a more
complete picture of the situation
He indicated that, since the list
of possible appointees was in a
memorandum separate from the
letter, he wanted to be sure the
connection was made clear in the
letter. a.,
The Bohlen case occupied
much of Gen. Eisenhower's news
conference, which lasted more
than a half-hour. 1t was brought
up by reporter who told of the
Senators criticism that the
Bohlem nomination had been
put over on him and asked the
President for his comment.

said that if the Senators are
talking about a shell game they
will have to draw their own con-

too, stood beside her to greet
early arrivals. Senator Taft
took his place beside her. His
dark blue suit was highlighted
by tie with a white elephant
design.
Many members of the Cabinet
and others prominent on the
Washington scene were chatting
informally in the room when
Gen. Eisenhower, trim in a dark
suit, came in. Cordially he
greeted Mrs. Taft and took his
place beside Senator Taft.
In moment, the party ap-
peared to be forgotten by the
two. They were intent in con-
verSation.
But more guests, delayed by
the rain, began arriving. Among
them was Senator Mccarthy. He
bowed and shook hands with
Mrs. Taft. There was q mo-
ment's pause. He accepted q
drink from a woman in the
group.
That was when Lady Aston
made her comment about poi
son. A little later she said, THE
world rocks and he talks"
Nancy, are you being naugh-
typ" lightly asked Mrs. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth, daughter
of President Theodore Roosevelt.
The seconds licked away and
Senator Mccarthy shook hands
with Mrs. Eisenhower. The first
lady, her gaze steady and
straight, smiled in the very best
style. Gen. Eisenhower and
Senator Taft then shook hands
with Senator Mccarthy.
Leaves Among Last.
The Senator moved on to min
gle with the other guests. He
stayed until after the Eisenhow-
ers left. In fact, he was among
the last to leave.
1t was by and large honey,
friendly party. In an adjacent
room, there was table spread
with small cakes, sandwiches,
baked ham. Prominent women
guests took turns serving coffee.
But party or not, there was
''shop talk" In interludes be-
tween greeting guests Gen. Eisen-
hover and Senator Taft talked
seriously. At one point, they
were Joined by Secretary of State
Dulles.
Across the room, Senator Rus
sell, Democrat, of Georgia. and
Secretary of Defense Wilson
were in conversation, unmindful
of others.
Others on hand were Speaker
Martin of Massachusetts,, Senator
Johnson, Democrat, of Texas
and Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby,
Federal Security Administrator.
About $50 were invited-the
largest party Mrs. Taft has had
since her illness. The heavy
rain kept only a few away.

times was critical. He specifi-
cally mentioned shortages of ar
tillery shells. and added this
shortage aided the Communists
in their buildup since the start
of the truce talks nearly two
years ago.
Collins Disputes Van Fleet.
His superior at the Pentagon,
Gen. j. Lawton Collins, Army
Chief of Staff, sharply disputed
Gen. Van Fleets testimony be-
fore the Senate Armed Services
Committee. He admitted certain
shortages in storage facilities in
the Far East Command. But he
asserted fatty that the 9th Army
troops on the war-torn peninsula
had never lacked ammunition to
carry out their assigned mission.
The Pentagon spokesman who
confirmed the diversion of ships
from the Far East to Europe de-
clined any comment today on the
Van Fleet testimony.
He said that in certain critical
ammunition categories, IS per
cent of new production has been
going to the Far East. The re-
mainder has been dispersed to
American forces and their allies
scattered throughout the world.
When it was suggested Gen.
Van Fleet may have been refer
ring only to the situation in
Korea prior to his departure in
February. the Army spokesman
said:
"All know is that when we
told the Far East Command we
had this ammunition ready for
them they said they didn't want
it yet"
Division at Mobile.
The latest diversion of am
munition from Korea was re-
ported from Mobile, Ala. The
ships cargo was made up largely
of shells for 55-millimeter ar
tillery pieces.

in large quantities in the stale
mated war. -..., =. 4,,.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
and Secretary of the Army Stew
ems told the committee investi-
eating the Van Fleet charges
that shells for loss and 1855 had
been in short supply, but that
action initiated last fall had
greatly improved the output.
The officials also reported
shortages in so millimeter and 81
millimeetr mortar shells. Again,
however, they said there had
been a steady improvement in
the production Of these.

Council Head
Gives Annual Report

An organization as new as the
Welfare Council, established only
five years ago, has had but little
time to achieve the place in the
community it should occupy to be
effective. Realizing this, consider
able attention has been given to the
task Of increasing the understand
ing Of the Councils place and its
function.
While it is possible to measure
public attitudes only by careful
survey, there are indications that
some progress has been made in
this direction. Council members
are more inclined to consider them
selves as the Council, rejecting
greater recognition of the fact that
Council is an aggregation of agen-
cies of which they are a part. More
requests for services such as sur
yeys, studies, and other information
have come to us. The increasing
demands upon our staff would in
dicate a greater appreciation of the
services the Council can offer to
the community and the value 0f The
services performed in the last.
Furthermore, there seems to be
more realistic approach to welfare,
an approach greatly to be desired if
we are to make certain that our
welfare services will be well-cOn-
ceived, capably administered, and
adequately financed. There is in
creasing recognition that meeting a
need may be desirable, but it can
be met only if the community has
the resources, the time and money,
the trained staff, and the volunteer
help to do so.
An important policy change was
made by your board of directors in
the year just passed. The COun-
ciIs staff, and to a much lesser
extent the Councils officers, have
faced a mounting demand for SER
vices, demand so great that it has
finally gone beyond the reach of the
staff. Projects ranging from minor
requests for information to i'm
portant and far-reaching surveys
have been accepted readily with
the result that the Council has un-
dertaken an impressive amount of
work. In this situation either the
staff had to, be increased or the
/, projects undertaken had to be linn
tied in some way.
To meet this problem, your board
has proposed that a method of de-
termining program priorities be
established: The directors sug-
gested that each division when. pro
posing a project for the Councils
staff should forward the proposal
to the board of directors. The di-
rectOrs will ascertain whether the
proposal properly comes within the

BUILDS OWN " STATION

CALGARY, Australia-(P)-It's a
simple chore to build your own
televisiOn transmitter and receiver
If you have a thorough knowledge
of electrOnics, the necessary expen-
sive equipment and a few hundred
hours to spare.
Although William K. Allan of
Calgary refuses to admit that he
has achieved anything unusual, he
has built what is believed the first
amateur televisiOn receiver and
transmitter in Alberta. The At
year-Old electricity teacher at Cal
gary's Western Canada High
School, is a recognized top-fight
expert on electrOnics.
While he regards the construction
of a normal TV receiver as child's
play, Allan admits that the trans
mitting equipment was more diff
cult. The problem he faced was
that of adapting a 16 nm. movie
protector into a TV camera" to
transmit the film.
