Allen Dulles Today
On GA Investigation

Senator Mccarthy, Republican.
of Wisconsin arranged to meet
with Allen Dulles this afternoon
to try to work out a formula for
his Senate Investigations Sub
committee to question officials of
the Central Intelligence Agency.
Mr.. Dulles, brother of Secre-
tary of State Dulles, is head of
the super-Secret intelligence
organization and is reported to
be strongly resisting Senator Nc
Carthy's efforts to question CHA
officials.
The Wisconsin Republican said
he had talked last night with
Mr.. Dulles and members of his
agency and the meeting at 3
O'Clock this afternoon had been
arranged in place of a closed ex-
ecutive session originally sched-
uled for this morning.
I'VE are trying to work out
formula for getting information
the Congress is entitled to with
out endangering intelligence
work." Senator Mccarthy said.
Aware Of Dulles Problem.
He added that the Subcommit-
tee fully recognizes Mr.. Dulles
problem in keeping secret the
agency'S intelligence work.
I'VE have, however, sub
poenaed man named Bundy,"
Senator Mccarthy said. I'VE
proposed to question him about
his connections with Alger Hiss
and his Communist front activi-
ties"
He referred to William p.
Bundy and said that Mr.. Bundy
has been named liaison man be-
tween the National Security
Council and the Atomic Energy
Commission. He added that Mr..
Bundy is the son-in-law of for
mer Secretary of State Dean
Acheson and had contributed !
$500 to the Alger Hiss defense
fund.
Senator Mccarthy emphasized |
that the subcommittee had no /
intention of questioning Mr.. |
Bundy on intelligence subjects !
and his work with the CHA.
Senator Mundt. Republican, of |
South Dakota. expressed conf !
dence of working out some for
mula for the subcommittee to
question GA officials on matters .
apart from intelligence work.
Senator Monroney, Democrat, /
of Oklahoma. told the Senate |
yesterday such a probe would |
disclose to our enemies infor- !
nation that even the best spy ap- +
paratuS of the Kremlin" could /
not get. He asked the Senate to
'be willing to take full respon-
Slbility'' if such an inquiry is
carried out by Senator McCar- |
thys subcommittee.
OF Senator Mccarthy, he said,
II doubt that he has a monopoly
within this Government on de-
Spising. exposing and prosecuting
Communists and their fellow
Travellers"
Senator Mundt, a member of
the subcommittee said on an
MBS radio program last night !
some one was trigger happy" in
stirring up public hassle" over
the issue. Senator Mundt said
he saw no reason why the group (,
should not question known"
employees of CHA. He said it |
should not summon a CHA I'M
dercover agent.
Senator Monroney, in speech
bristling with scorn, said Sena-
tor Mccarthy had invaded the
fields of other committees in
quest of greater headline OPP
portunities.
Senator Mccarthy was not on
the Senate floor at the time,
and later had no comment.
Carte Blanche Authority.
AS for the plan to investigate
the CHA. Monroney said:
This puts the Senate up to
the choice of giving the dis
tinguished Senator from Wis
consin carte blanche authority
to fully explore, via any type of
hearings which he may so de-
termine. televiSed or otherwise.
the innermost secrets of this
highly confidential and secret
arm of national security"
Senator Monroney added: II
question the oft-stated claim that
only the Senator from Wisconsin
stands between us and complete
