The Senator drew his most
prolonged applause when he re-
ferred to the late Senator Taft,
Republican of Ohio.
He called Senator Taft a
tower of integrity and strength

Cries Come From Audience.
Scattered cries of guilty,
guilty, guilty" came from the
audience as Senator Mccarthy
went through his charges against
the Democrats.
The 20 deeds which Senator
Mccarthy named ranged from
United States recognition of
Russia in 1888 to the wartime
Yalta agreement, events which
he linked to the fall of China to
the Communists and the Tru-
man administrations handling
of the Korean war.
He listed a 1912 White House
ruling that Communists would
be allowed to act as radio OPP
orators on either commercial or
naval vessels: charged that

ment so he might guide the be-
trayal of China" and pointed
to the recognition of Marshal
Tito in Yugoslavia instead of the
anti-Communist Gen. Mihailo-
witch.
Senator Mccarthy also men

transfer of money plates to Rus

ton currency in Germany, al
legged refusals to discharge Com
munists in Government Offices
and the rise of Alger Hiss.
Hits His Critics.
The Senator concluded: Those
who would defend that record
dare not do SO directly. They
condemn Investigations and
techniques. Anyone can be a
hero Of this left-wing gang if
he shouts about liberty and
freedom and coercion"
He added: IF the cries came
from the Communists alone. no
one would listen. But cleverly-
oh. so cleverly-they add the
voices OF the fellow-travelers, of
the ill-informed and of the egg
headed liberals.

that there be two or three or
four Senators at all hearings:
an obvious impossibility for me
to order Senators to appear.
Any one who has had any ex-
perience with Congress will tell
you that there would be no
quicker way to stall investiga-
lions, for Senators must serve on
a great number of committees.
There will be other tactics to
slow our progress. Can any one
in this audience think of any
