STASSEN LASHES OUT Central figures in the new fight were McCarthy, the State Department and Mutual Security Director Stassen. who testified before Mc Carthy's Permanent Senate Investigating Committee as it opened hearings on Allied trade with Iron Curtain countries. In a bitter public exchange, Stassen accused McCarthy of "not cooperating with the Administration and of being "facetious." The GOP Senator angrily charged that Stassen was treating lightly a matter of -life and death" to men in the Korean war. 'PLEAD WITJI TOTJ At one point. Stassen turned to McCarthy and said: "I plead with yo- for cooperation between the two branches of gov-j ernment." "You needn't plead with me, Governor." McCarthy snapped.

McCarthy also told Stassen he would "continue to remove every ship I can from trade with Communist China" whether the Administration liked it or not. He said he hoped to make an agreement with owners of 150 more foreign flag ships in London soon. CLOSE TIES IN PAST McCarthy and Stassen once were close political friends. The Senator was among the first to support publicly Stassen's bid for the GOP Presidential nomination in 1948 and led the Stassen forces In Wisconsin. As Stassen was testifying, the State Department announced that the Greek Government agreed March 23 to forbid all Greek flag vessels to call at any Chinese or North Korean port.

This was six days before McCarthy announced that the staff of his committee had obtained from Greek owners of 242 ships a promise not to trade with Red China, North Korea or any Soviet Far Eastern ports.
