Wisconsin Senator McCarthy charged that Secretary of State Acheson sabotaged U S aid to Korea. He told 4 500 at an Izaak Walton picnic that bills signed by President Truman provided 75 million and over 10 million for arming South Korea but little money was actually spent. He urged Truman to fire Acheson and warned of disaster in Western Germany. He called Democratic probes dishonest and claimed Communist praise followed their report.
