McCARTHY'S ERUPTIONS GO ONFORHOURS WASHINGTON, March 31—(@— Senator McCarthy's fresh barrage of ‘Soviet Agen charges against Owen Lattimore—accusations which Lattimore promptly termed lies— created a new headache today for Senate investigators. McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican, told the Senate in a 4%-hour speech yesterday that he can pro- duce a mystery witness who will swear that Lattimore, an American expert of Far Eastern affairs, was a member of the Communist Party. McCarthy also waved documents which he said prove that Lattimore | is a Soviet agent who received instructions in Moscow as far back as 1936, He previously had called Southeast Alaska School - Musical Festival fo Be Held Herefor 3 Days, Ma!‘6, 1, 85 State Department and the United States. In the Senate yesterday, Mc- Carthy coupled his attack on Lat- timore with a new assault against U. S. Ambassador-at-large Philip Jessup. He described Jessup as “a very willing stooge” for Latti- more, Jessup already has Carthy’'s charge that “unusual affinity for causes.” In doing so sador called McCarthy and said his accusations a shocking disergard for terests of the country. After his speech, made as spec- tators crowded the galleries, Mc- Carthy did not turn his Lattimore case documents over to the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee which is investigating his conten- tions that Communists and their friends have infiltrated the State Department. Moreover, he indicated to news- men that the committee might not even get a look at his material. McCarthy had asked FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover to have an agent | o nhand so he could turn over the | material to the FBI for study. Hoover promised to do so, but no| agent was around when McCarthy | left the Chamber last night. McCarthy said that nevertheless the FBI “is going to get every scrap of evidence I have.” denied Mec- he has an Communist showed the in- FROM FORT RICHARDSON Maj. A. B. Perkins and Lt. Jack M.
