McCarthy no matter how he and others tried to block approval of Charles E. Bohlen as ambassador from Bohlen to Secretary of State Dulles. He began by challenging Bohlen’s fitness but wound up chal- lenging Dulles’ truthfulness and judgment. In this episode McCarthy was also indirectly questioning the President’s judgment since Eisen- hower and Dulles, both of whom had known Bohlen for years, had recommended him for the Moscow assignment. But if McCarthy was beaten in this head-on collision with his own Republican administration he can argue that Dulles did not emerge completely unscathed. McCarthy attacked Dulles’ truth- fullness and judgment so sharply his fellow senators took extraor- dinary steps to be sure they knew what they were doing before voting for Bohlen. | Instead of taking Dulles’ word |there was nothing in the: FBI’s | report on Bohlen to disqualify him as ambassador, the Foreign Re- lations committee sent two of its |ewn members to examine the re- | port and review it'for the Senate. Dulles had summarized this FBI | report for the committee through | three hours of questioning and had stated Bohlen was all right. The committee at the time was! so ‘satisfied with what Dulles said | prove Bohlen. All that was still needed was full Senate approval. It was at this point that McCarthy began criticizing Dulles. He said there was information in Bohlen’s FBI file that would make the senators consider him unfit if they just see the file them- ; Selves, instead of relying on Dul- les’ say-so. It was after this that the com- mittee picked Senators Taft, Ohio Republican, and Sparkman, Ala- bama Democrat, to look over the report in Dulles’ office, Taft and Sparkman told news- men yesterday, after examining the file they had not found any- thing that Dulles had not already reported. The point on which MeCarthy this: He said he understood Dul- les’ security officer in the State | Department, R. W. Scott McLeod, jhad refused to approve Bohlen af- jter seeing the FBI file. Dulles told a news conference there was no difference between him and Mc- Leod on Bohlen. That statement was an untruth, McCarthy said. But no senator challenged Me- Carthy to explain how much of his opposition to Bohlen was based on rumor and how much on_per- sonal knowledge, although McCar- thy kept mixing his statements of what he “knew” with talk about “rumors.” This whole case raises a serious question for Dulles: Can he have | any effectiveness as secretary of state if he runs into any more situations where the Senate is not | satisfied to accept his judgment but decides to check for itself? in permitting Taft and |Sparkman to examine the FBI summary on Bohlen, Dulles may have opened the door to future grief for himself. With few excep- tions, the executive branch tradi- tionally has resisted congressional demands to see its secret files. As if aware that other commit- tees may demand in other cases the same privilege given Taft and Sparkman in this one, Dulles oa ;his action on the Bohlen file can- not be considered a precedent. At no time in the argument about | Bohlen, and it has been going on for a month, has anyone in the | Eisenhower administration said a that it voted unanimously to | on: challenged Dulles’ truthfulness was |. jcritical word about McCarthy, at | _ Chapter Twc UTH crossed Main Street, took’ the sd into Pepper-Tree Lane, mightily on} : the door yey aorta gr He “Anyone home?
