AND ITS YOUR GAME TO WIN: OR LOSE IN TH LAST THREE INNINGS THE WORLD TODAY By JAMES MARLOW thy, who for three years has been questioning the loyalty and security of many government officials, has reached a peak in the case of Charles E. Bohlen. He says he is not willing to trust the judgment of the highest offi- cials of government in determining this man’s loyalty but would put his reliance upon a mechanical de- vice. - McCarthy, not satisfied with the opinion of President Eisenhower and Secretary’ of State Dulles that Bohlen is loyal and a good security risk, wants this 48-year-old State Department official tested with a lie detector. Bohlen has been in’ the depart- ment 24 years. He's been investi- gated by the FBI. Eisenhower and Dulles have had access to the FBI report on him. Both want him to be: American ambassador to Moscow. They asked the Senate’'to confirm him. The Senate Foreign Relations ‘Com- mittee unanimously approved him after questioning Dulles for three hours. Sen. Wiley, chairman of the com- mittee and, like MeCarthy, a Wis- consin Republican, ‘said later Dul- NoauOD HSVT3 WOLNVHd 4HL file on Bohlen. out that he told was in the file. to Wiley or any’ other committee security risk. Wiley also said Atty. Gen. Brow- nell examined the Bohlen file and approved him. Yesterday Eisen- hower stood firmiy behind Bohlen, according to Wiley and Sen. Taft, Republican Senate leader, who vis- ited the President. On what, then, does McCarthy base his opposition to Bohlen? McCarthy’s No. 1 reason: . the fact that Bohlen was close to for- mer Secretary of State Dean Ach- eson. Because of this, McCarthy said, he'd still vote sgainst Bohlen no matter how thoroughly the lat- ter was cleared as 2 security risk. But he questioned Bohlen as a security risk. He sai¢c there were 16 pages of information in the FBI file against Bohlen, and so secret he could not reveal it on the Senate floor without endangering the country. (McCarthy is not supposed to have seen this secret file. He didn’t say he saw it. But no sena- tor asked him how, then, he knew what was in it. At one point Mc- Carthy talked of “rumors” about Bohlen.) But McCarthy further said that the State Department’s own secur> ity officer, R. W. Scott McLeod, whose job is checking on the em- ployes for loyalty and security disagreed with Dulles in clearing Bohlen. McLeod read, because that was his job, the FBI file on Bohlen and called Dulles’ attention to the derogatory information it con- tained. Dulles satd publicly there | was no difference between him | McLeod on Bohlen’s fitness. McCarthy called this an untruth |and said he understood McLeod jhad refused to clear Bohlen, al- though he said he hadn't talked with McLeod. McCarthy’s insistence that the Senate should hear testimony from McLeod raised a basic question: Suppose MeLeod, whom no_ one seems able to find now, should testify publicly he thinks Bohlen is a security risk.
