-THE CAPITAL TIMES, Wednesday, Nov. 25, 1953-3 Complete Text of Sen. McCarthy's Reply to Truman NEW YORK (AP)-Following is the text of Sen. McCarthy's address over radio and television Tuesday night: Good evening, fellow Americans. Last Monday night a former president of the United States while attempting to explain away his promotion of Harry Dexter White, a known Communist spy, made a completely untruthful attack upon me.

On Oct. 4, 1944 the then Senator Harry Truman, who was a candidate for the vice presidency on the Democrat ticket, wrote a three page letter to the Civil Service Commission denouncing the commission in the strongest language for the procedure they followed in ordering the dismissal of Wheeler. In October of 1945, after Harry Truman became President, the Civil Service Commission reversed itself and ordered Wheeler reinstated.

There, my friends, you have some small portion of the sordid picture. Nothing accidental about that picture either. deliberate pattern of Communist infiltration. Impossible, you say? Yes. Unbelievable? Yes.

But there you have it. It is all a matter of cold record. The a most unbelievable picture is that as the danger to this nation is slowly and laboriously exposed, instead of an' admission of guilt, of stupidity, Democrats from coast to coast join chorus of the Communist Daily Worker and shout, "Oh, isn't mccarthyism an awful thing?" How many American young men have died and how many will because of this stupidity, blindness and treason no one will ever know. But what answer do we get when it is exposed? The leader of the Democrat PartyHarry Truman-in the intemperate language condemns the attorney general fore giving the American people facts. He then proceeds to damn McCarthy, drawing heavily upon his repertoire of dirty names because I took part in the exposure of the Communist infiltration of his administration.

I would not be concerned about what a defeated and discredited politician has to say, except that his leadership--if you can call it that the Communist issue being followed by so many Democrats. For that reason I would like to briefly run over the work that our committee has been doing. This may furnish a key to the bitterness of the Truman Democrats toward my work, which they prefer to call mccarthyism. Now for a glance at a few excerpts from the testimony beour committee. On Nov.

19. 1953, we were investigating Communist infiltration and potential espionage and sabotage in the huge General Electric plants Schenectady, N.Y., and Lynn, Mass. Defense officials had previously admitted very freely that if enemy agents could sabotage the GE facilities, it would deal a crippling blow if not a death blow to our defense attempts. So listen now to one of the witnesses working in of those defense plants. His name is Henry Archdeacon.

The first question: Were you engaged in espionage over the past few weeks? Answer: I decline to answer that question on the basis of the fifth amendment that is. it might tend to incriminate me. Chairman: As a matter of fact, you have been giving to the Communist Party complete detailed information on everything going on in the GE plant? Answer: I decline to answer on the basis of the fifth amendment-that is, it might tend to incriminate me. Chairman: Just one further question. If we were to have war with Communist Russia, and if the Communist party ordered you to sabotage the facilities at GE, would you disobey that order of the Communist Party? Answer: I decline to answer that question on the basis of the fifth amendment.

Another witness, Donald Morrill, was called the same morning-less than a week ago. Again the same questions as to whether sabotage our defense installations for the Communists -again the same refusal to answer on the grounds of selfincrimination. Only this morning -less than 12 hours witness, Joseph Levitsky, appeared before our committee. Levitsky had until very recently been working in the tel-communications laboratory which was handling secret radar work dealing with the defense of this nation. He refused, under the fifth on the grounds of self-incrimination-to to tell whether during the last 30 days he had engaged in a conspiracy to commit espionage, and whether during July of this year he had been attempting to recruit espionage agents.

Let us shift quickly to another branch of the government. A few months ago, we investigating espionage in the Government Printing Office which handles Demand, accept only St. Joseph ASPIRIN WORLD'S LARGEST SELLER AT secret material for every ment of government, including Army, Navy, Air Corps, atomic energy, Secret Service, etc. One of the witnesses before our committee was Edward Rothschild. The FBI had given the old Truman administration detailed reports upon him and his wife.

The FBI had made available witnesses who would testify that both Rothschild and his wife were Communist. Also that she was an important officer in the Communist party, that Communist meetings were held at their home, and that he had been engaged in stealing government secrets, including secret codes from the printing office. He was before our committee on Aug. 10 of this year. Let me quote a few questions and answers.

Question: Is it a fact that you have access to secret and confidential material? Answer: Yes. Question: Up until today? Answer: Up this moment. Question: Are you a member of the Communist Party as of this moment? Answer: Under the fifth amendment, 1 decline to anserestion: Did you ever steal a secret code from the Government Printing Office? Again a refusal to answer under the fifth amendment. Question: Were you engaged in espionage against the United States on Aug. 9 of this year? Again a refusal to answer under the fifth amendment, on the ground of self incrimination.

Well, to get rid of a Communist handling secret material of course, important. But it is even more important to discover how he got there and who kept him in his job. this connection we had before us the secretary and the acting chairman of the loyalty board. Let me quote briefly from their testimony. This testimony gives perhaps as clearly as many the reason why the Truman Democrat administration was crawling Communists.

The secretary of the loyalty board was asked the question why they did not call the witnesses whom the FBI could furnish witnesses who were available to testify under oath that this man handling secret material was a Communist and was stealing secrets. The answer was that ado" was "not their practice to Then I asked the secretary of the loyalty board this question: "Is it true that in challeato Rothschild hearing, you only witnesses who were suggested by Roths-! child: is it the usual practice to hear only the witnesses whom the accused wants you to hear? Answer: "That has been the practice." Chairman: "Let me ask you this, does your board operate under the general rule that mere membership in the Communist Party is not sufficient to bar a worker?" Answer: "That is true, and Seth Richardson gave us the philosophy behind that. He was our guide." Keep in mind that Seth Richardson was the top man-the final word on Truman's loyalty board. As you hear this order that a man should not be barred from handling government secrets merely because he was a Communist, listen to this pledge that all Communists are reco quired to take in applying for membership: "The undersigned declares his adherence to the program and statutes of the Communist international and the Communist party of the U.S.S. agrees to submit to the discipline of the party and to engage actively in its work." Another indication of how the Truman Democrat administration felt about Communism is indicated in the statement by the then acting head of the Bureau the Budget, who was appointed by Mr.

Truman. He is quoted in the 1947 hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee as saying: "A man in the employ of the government has just as much right to be a member of the Communist Party as he has to be a member of the Democratic or Republican Party." This gives you a picture of why the Communists, the fellow travelers, and the Truman, type Democrat who places above country, scream so loudly about mccarthyism, why their hatred and venom knows no bounds, why there is no limit of decency to restrain them in their vilification and smear.

Washington Ave, Phone 5-4534 ism would be a dead and forgotten issue. The raw, harsh, unpleasant fact is that Communism is an issue and will be an issue in 1954. 1 It would not be an issue between our two great political parties if they were united in fighting Communism. They are united today. Truman diatribe against those who expose Communists is the best proof of that.

I would remind those who speak about Communism not being an issue that Communism is not isolated from the other great evils which beset us today. For example, when a Harry Dexter White by his manipulations through the Treasury Department undermines the money system in China when a Lauchlin Currie on White House stationery countermands the orders to ship vast amounts of captured German equipment to China to be used in her war against the Communists -when the Communists and fellow travelers in policy-making positions sold out our friends to our enemies with the result that 620 million people disappeared behind the Iron Curtain between 1945 and 1953 when they were doing this, they were making necessary a huge tax burden upon the American people to build up a defense for this nation. They were in effect signing the draft call for the hunderds of thousands of young men who have been called to military duty. They were setting the stage for future wars and signing the death warrants of unknown numbers of Americans. Therefore, practically every issue which we face from high taxes to the shameful mess in Korea is inextricaly interwoven with the Communist issue.

Democrat office seekers: from the Atlantic to the Pacific have been proclaiming that mccarthyism is an issue in this campaign. In a way, I guess, it is, because my position as chairman of the investigating committee where I can continue to expose and dig out Communists depends upon Republican senators being retained in office. Therefore, if the American people agree with that what he calls mccarthyism bad, that it is wrong to dig out and expose traitors, they have a chance to get rid of as chairman of the investigating committee next fall by defeating Republican up for election. If the American people, on the other hand believe in the necessity of digging out and getting rid of that type of people who have been before our committee for example, those who refuse to say whether they would sabotage our defense plants if ordered to do so by the Communist Party on the ground that the truth might send them to jail if they believe, as I do, that reason, dishonesty and stupidity, should be exposed wherever and whenever found, then their answer is to keep the Republicans in power so we can continue to clean out the augean stables. But now let us take at the Republican Party.

Now that we are in office, if we are to keep faith with the American people, we must keep our own house clean. During last year's campaign and during th 1950 camcampaign and during the 1950 campaign, I perhaps spent as much time as any other man talking to the people nation, urging them to defeats certain senators who were untrue to their country--not because they were evil men, but because of the mistaken idea which they developed in the Washington atmosphere of smog that their first loyalty was to keep their party in power and then if there was any loyalty left over, they could give that to their country. Over the past few months, I have been becoming somewhat disturbed that my party might also fall victim to the same evil which beset the Democrat Party, and did SO much toward destroying this nation. I realize full well that what I am about to say will disturb friends-in some of fact, my Republi-! can them have strongly urged that I avoid this matter. If I do so, however, then I could never in good faith come before the American people again.

Tonight I remind those Republican friends of mine that no political party can be perfect. Your batting average cannot be 100 per The test in the eyes of the American people should be-are you trying to do a good job, are you honest with us. And when you make mistakes are you willing to admit those mistakes? And finally--do those in control of your party have sufficient intelliand courage SO that their batting average is high? If we do that, we are a good party; in another respect we must differ from the Truman Democrat party which followed the theory that it was a favor to give the people an accounting of what was being done. The Republican theory must be that a detailed accounting is an absolute, irrevocable right of the American people. Before looking at some of the cases in which our batting average is zero, let me make it clear that I think the new administration is doing a job so infinitely better than the Truman-Acheson regime that there is absolutely no comparison.

For example, while almost daily from the time I mentioned the 57 Communists and 205 security risks in government, until the time the Truman-Acheson regime was daily some removed leader from office. Democrat Party would proclaim to the country that there were no Communists in government. And that my attempt to dig them out was dishonest and a hoax. The new administration has now gotten rid of 1456, all of whom were security risks and practically all of whom were removed because of Communist connections and activities or perversion. An excellent record for the time President Eisenhower has been in office.

However, let us. glance at a few cases where our batting average is zero where we struck out. For example, we still have John Patton Davies on the payroll afte 11 months of the Eisenhower administration. And who is John Patton Davies? John Patton Davies was (1) part and parcel of the old White-Hiss group which did so much toward delivering our Chinese friends into Com Communist hands; (2) He was unanimously referred by the McCarran committee to the Justice Department for indictment because he lied under oath about his activities in trying to put Communists and espionage agents in key spots in the Central Intelligence Agency. Why is this man still a high official in our government? Now let us examine the failure of my party to liquidate the foulest bankruptcy of the Democrat administration.

On Sept. 12, 1953, the Chinese Communists announced that they would not treat as prisoners of American fliers who were shot down during the Korean over Manchuria. On Sept. 10, 1953 the Army announced that some 900 American young men known to have been prisoners of Communists in Korea were unaccounted for. Why do I bring this situation up tonight? We, the Republican Party, are not responsible it.

But we are responsible for the proper handling of the situation as of tonight. It is a responsibility we cannot shirk even though we did not create the situation. Now, what are we going to do about it? Are we going to continue to send perfumed notes, following the style of the Truman-Acheson regime? Or are going to take Tru the only position that an honorable nation can take-namely, that every uniformed American packs the honor and pride and power of this entire nation on his shoulders. The millions of people in my radio and television audience tonight will recall that even in grade school your hearts beat a bit faster and you felt a great surge of pride when you heard in song that this was the land of the free and the home of the brave. But my good friends, let me ask you, how free are we when American aviators fighting under the American flag are, at this very moment on Nov.

24, 1953, being brainwashed, starved, or murdered behind an iron or bamboo curtain. How brave are we-how are we when we do do not use all the power of this nation to rescue those airmen and the 900 other military men who have been unaccounted for for months? I realize, of course, the low ebb to which our honor has sunk over the past 20 years. But it is time that we, the ReI publican Party, liquidate this IF PETER PAIN CLUBS YOU WITH NEURALGIC PAIN ConRELIEF, more rub of in those Ben-Gay. two famous FOR times salicylate and FAST tains up to agents, methyl offered rub-ins! menthol, than five ACHES, other widely to RHEUMATISM, -Gay MUSCULAR for Children. for Pain due for BenAlso COLDS.

Let us deliver not next year or next month let us deliver now. But how are we going to do it? Once a nation has allowed itself to be reduced to a state of whining, whimpering appeasement, the cost of regaining national honor may be high.

But we must regain our national honor regardless of what it costs. I know it is easy to talk in general terms about what can be done. Let us be specific. As you know, we have been voting billions of dollars each year to help our allies build up their military and economic strength, so that they can help in this day to day struggle between the free half of the world and the Communist slave half. If the money we give them is being used for that purpose, then it is well spent.

If not, then those allies are defrauding us. Well, what is the connection between this and American men in Communist prisons? There is a very direct connection. The London Daily Express that is Lord Beaverbrook's paper dated in February, 1953, which was even before the phoney Korean truce was signed, bragged that their trade with Red China had increased 1500 per cent in January, 1953, over January, 1952. The debates in the British House of Commons shows that the increase has been many times greater since the signing of the truce. How does this affect you? As of today, some money was taken to Britain, As of Britain out of your pay check, and sent used that money from your pay check to pay for, the shipments of the sinews war to Red China.

What can we do about it? We can deal a death blow making power of Communist China. We can without single shot force them to open their filthy Communist dungeons and release every American. We can blockade the coast of China without using a single ship, a single sailor, or a single gun. We can do this by merely saying to our allies and alleged allies "if you continue to ship to Red China while they are imprisoning and torturing American men, you will get not one cent of American money." How can you people in my radio and television audience see that this is done? You can say to those who you have elected to man the watchtowers of this nation, Democrat and Republican, alike: "You will be taken down from those watchtowers if you continue to take money from my pay check today and send it to any of those allies who are in turn shipping the sinews of war to the Communist enemy!" In this connection, let us keep in mind that we have long had a rule that no American shipping firm, no American merchant could deal with the enemy. If that rule is sound-and it is--then why should we take money out of the paychecks of every American working to finance countries to do manat we our merchants and shipping panies from doing? In the day of Roman senator named Cato rose on the floor of the Roman senatae each day and ended his speech with the phrase: "Delenda est Carthage must be destroyed.

After repeating this over and over and over, the Roman people were aroused to the threat of Carthage until finally Carthage was no more. Let us, as Americans, emulate that Roman senator; let us, in our crusade for freedom, speak own "Delenda est ADVERTISEMENT How To Hold FALSE TEETH More Firmly In Place Do your false teeth annoy and embarrass by slipping, dropping or wobbling when you eat, laugh or talk?

Let us say to our leaders tonight that not one more dollar from our paychecks will be used to finance any nation doling out blood money to our mortal enemyan enemy feeding off the wealth and generosity of Americans while our sons in Communist prison dungeons for crumbs from Communist thugs. Let me remind you in conclusion that when the smoke-screen of false political righteousness is raised again mccarthyism by Truman or anyone else singing choir of deceit that he, Truman, stands on his record as an individual and as a President. He promoted Harry Dexter White, Russian spy.

He fired Douglas MacArthur, one of the greatest living Americans. Saw Psychiatrist, Dropped By Reds LOS ANGELES (A -A movie producer says the Communists ousted him from their party because he saw a psychiatrist. Producer William L. Alland, maker of the hit "It Come From Outer Space," said he told a closed session of a House UnAmerican Activiteis subcommittee Monday that he was banned from Communist meetings in 1948. That was when party big guns discovered he had visited a psychiatrist, he said.

Alland, a combat pilot with a record of 56 missions in the South Pacific in World War II, said he joined the party in 1946. He added that he found psychotherapy "very helpful" and declared that 95 per of the Communists in Hollywood belonged on a psychiatrist's couch.
