Acheson Fails To Tell Truth, Says WCarthy

Scoffs at Denial ~ OF Acquaintance With Lattimore

WASHINGTON, Apr. (UP)

today that Secretary of State Dean Acheson has not told

“the truth” about his connections with Owen Lattimore. Mr. Acheson said last week he does not recall ever having met Dr. Lattimore and denied Sen. McCarthy's charge that Dr. Lattimore was the chief “architect” of the administration's Far East-| orn policy. - ‘Sen. McCarthy said in a formal| statement he knows Dr. Lattimore’s secret recommendations to the State ‘Department on Far| Eastern policy.

the Secretary of State.” Dr. Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins | University -professor, has been accused by Mr. McCarthy of being a Russian spy. Mr. McCarthy also| charged in a Senate speech last| ~week that Dr. Lattimore is or has| been a member of the Commu-| nist Party. Dr. Latimore has categorically| denied Sen. McCarthy's charges, describing the Wisconsin Senator as a “madman” and “a base and miserable creature.”

‘The Same Acheson’

In his new statement, Mr. McCarthy also cited a story written in 1945 by Columnist Drew Pearson that Acheson asked President Truman to discuss with Lattimore the question of “weaning” Proment o away mow then co’ , prewar U, 8. Ambassador to Japan. “This is the same Acheson who only three days ago solemnly) stated that he had never met Mr. Lattimore,” Sen. MdCarthy said in his statement. “While Mr. timore was not successful in convincing Mr. Truman at that particular -time, it is significant that very shortly thereafter both Mr. Grew and Mr. Byrnes left the State Department, and the Acheson-Lattimore crowd took complete control.” He issued a statement through his secretary at the Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Md., where he, is undergoing a minor sinus =

eration.

Truman Orders

announced today that he had in-| structed the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Civil Service Commission chair-| man not to comply with Senate! subpenas for secret government loyalty files. The Chief Executive revealed his order in a letter to Sen. Millard F. Tyding, D. Md., chairman of a Senate subcommittee investigating alleged disloyalty inthe State Department. He cited a long list of Presidents who stood on “its responsibility of the executive branch to maintain the integrity of confidential information when its disclosure would be contrary to the public interest,” the President said. - “I would be derelict in my duty if I failed to do so.”
