IMcC orthy FeudW With Pentoqon
Gives State Department Rest

State Department employees
were breathing a little easier
yesterday as Senator McCarthy's
feud with the Army took the
spotlight of their own much
attacked organization.
Some seemed to think it had
relaxed the tension a little. But
most feared it was probably only
a temporary respite.
Expressions of sympathy for
Brig. Gen. Ralph zwicker, whom
Senator Mccarthy condemned
for refusing under orders from
his superiors to give certain testi-
mony to the Senator's inyesti-
cations subcommittee, were
tempered with the comment that
some State Department officials
have received treatment equally
as rough. Subcommittee hear
ings on the Voice of America
were cited as a case in point.

Senator Knowland told report
