Sacretary of the army Pace stated the boss did not violate code security in publishing secret cables that McCarthy is howling about. In fact, the boss was warned in advance that the only sccurity risk would Le revealinz the & ment number and date of the s cret message. McCarthy couldn’t re- showing off his spy system to rrove that he could get secret cables too. So he unwisely revealed both the document number and the date on the Senate floor. Thus, ironically, McCarthy made himself a target of his own inves- tigation, and the Justice depart- ment is checking McCarthy for revealing the cnly dangerous part| of the document—the key to the secret message. Drew is not the first newspaper- man McCarthy has tried to silence. He used similar tactics against others, including the conservative Saturday Evening Post. McCarthy classified the Pcst in the sam category with the Daily Worker | for publishing a critical article | about him. “It is disturbing to find that thi article is almost 100 per cent | line with the official instructions | issued to the Communists and fel-| low traveling members of the press | and radio by Gus Hall, National Secretary of the Communist Party,” | McCarthy wrote to the editors af- | ter taking the precaution of in-i serting his letter in the Congress- jonal Record, thus protecting him- self from libel.
