word Senator Tydings has d of the Communists in the State Department is to change The assumption Is that the ings committee is investigating communist infiltration into the state department Incidentally it might also investigate homosexual ity in the state department because the homosexual is always subject to black mail and could therefore come under the control a fore- ign power whose agents discovered a remarkable opportunity once and for all to clean up a situation that lias brought discredit upon the state department at home and abroad Covering up will not serve Senator II Alexander Smith of New Jersey who lias played a part In Moral Rearmament should ply some of its to politics one of which is that lic confession of error cleanses and strengthens character I have be- fore me however at least one in- stance to show that Senator ings is investigating a Senator who is neither a communist nor lias he infiltrated the state department Since when is it the function such a Senate committee to gate a sitting Here are the SENATOR McCarthy of Wisconsin delivered a Lincoln address at the McClure hotel in Wheeling West Virginia on ruary 9 The Republicans were holding

With a scowl Watts turned back to face the judge but he made no further remarks Is that all yon have to the judge asked and Watts to me the jurist ad- ed Yes The judge then gave the death of the and Watts was led from the remedy of the courts However Lyon Tyler a lawyer showed up in Wheeling as a re- presentative of Senator committee He called upon Frank Desmond reporter for the ing Intelligencer to query him concerning his report to his paper on the McCarthy speech IX OF fact that the speech itself was available to body who wanted it Mr Tyler demanded that Desmond sign an affidavit concerning McCarthy's speech Desmond Why should a reporter he asked to sign affidavits on matters reported The record is in the printed word According to the account er Desmond declined because he felt that McCarthy should have been present at the interrogation It would have upheld tic principles more adequately had lie not been so polite He should have handed Senator a copy gencer of February 10 and told him that the story is as he worte it and that is all he has to say about it He might have asked Tyler a long series of Questions as to what the purpose of his in- could possibly be Was his committee trying to get ists spies and saboteurs or wore they trying to get something on a Or were they seeking to interfere with freedom of Tyler was apparently puzzled at the Intelligencer tude I
