McCarthy Hits At Murrow And Stevenson In First Installment Of Reply To Criticism By EDMOND LE BRETON WASHINGTON (#—Sen. McCar- thy (R-Wis) has accused commen- tator Edward R. Murrow of having been connected with a Moscow school described as revolutionary, and Adlai Stevenson of dealing in untruths. Murrow said he actually was an adviser in an international educa- tion experiment the Russians can- celled in 1935 before any school| was Sessions were held. The accusations came in the first installment of McCarthy’s reply to recent criticism. He has said his real reply will be made a week from today. But last night he fired some preliminary broad- sides at Murrow, who devoted his CBS television show Tuesday to a critical review of McCarthy, and Stevenson, Democratic presiden- tial nominee in 1952, who spoke against “McCarthyism” before a meeting of Democrats in Miami Beach Saturday. McCarthy spoke last night on a question and answer program with Fulton Lewis Jr. on the Mutual Radio Network. Saying that Murrow, “week Murrow, in New York, termed| the broadcast statements “‘Mc- | Carthy’s latest reckless handling | of the truth.” In a statement, Murrow said |that he had been assistant direc- | tor of the Institute of International | Education, which he described as |an organization arranging inter- |country xchange of students and rs, and in that capacity membre of an advisory committee for a summer school | in Moscow. But he said the school |was called off by the Russians | before it began, and all that took place was a tour of Russia, in | which he did not participate. As for Stevenson, McCarthy | centered on the 1952 presidential | candidate’s statement that the jnew administration had turned up only one alleged active Commu- | nist among more than two million federal employes. That, McCarthy said, “of course \is strictly untrue and either Adlai | knew that or should know it.” The | Senator said a long list could be made. He cited the names of | three persons—‘‘Rothschild,”. “Le- | vine” and ‘Powell’”’—he said were after week, feels that he must| dropped as a result of investiga- smear McCarthy,” McCarthy sug-|tions by his Senate investigations gested, ‘maybe Mr. Murrow is | subcommittee. worried about the exposure of| Edward Rothschild refused to some of his friends.” j tell the subcommittee last year McCarthy, saying he was quot-| whether he ever spied for Russia. ing from a copy of the Pittsburgh | He was suspended from his job Sun-Telegraph for Feb. 18, 1935,|as a bookbirder for the govern- read a listing of Edward R.

And finally, the senator said, he would “prefer to agree with Lincoln, rather than Flanders.” This was a reply to Sen. Flan- ders (R-Vt) who criticized Me- Carthy in a Senate speech portions of which later were endorsed by President Eisenhower. McCarthy took issue with Flan- ders’ statement that the real Com- munist peril comes from abroad, and quoted Lincoln as sayi if the nation is ever destroyed, it will be from within, One radio station owner, J. P. Rikhards of WCEM, Cambridge, Md., cancelled the Lewis program on which McCarthy appeared. “The whole thing is strictly Political and is not solving the Communist queston,” said Rich- ards, and he added: “The public is saturatéd with the McCarthy-networks argu- ment.” The talk McCarthy has billed as, his real reply to Stevenson is scheduled for a week from toda: to the Milwaukee County Council of College Young Republican Clubs. McCarthy has said the Chicago Tribune radio station, WGN, and other stations have offered to carry the talk. However, he has repeated he will take legal action if necessary to force the CBS and NBC networks that carried the Stevenson speech to give him equivalent time. Republican National Chairman | Leonard Hall asked for and got free equivalent time for the party. Vice President Nixon was desig- nated to make the official GOP reply to Stevenson tomorrow night. Before the radio salvos yester- day, McCarthy’s subcommittee experienced some internal rum- blings. Two Democratic members, McClellan of Arkansas and Sym- ington of Missouri, questioned whether there had been mistaken identity in the case of Mrs. Annie | Lee- Moss, a civilian employe of the Army, who denied to the group that she is or ever was a member of the Communist party. McCarthy had told the middle- aged Negro the subcommittee was interested in learning why her superiors, knowing her “Commu- nist record,” shifted her from a cafeteria job to one in a code Mary S. Markward, a |former undercover informant for "| the FBI, eatlier testified she mew og Annie Lee Moss as 9 Commu- nist party member, but that she could not gay for eertain this was the same person as the Signal Cerps employe. ‘The ‘committee was informed there were other persons by that name in the Washington area. MeClelian and Symington pro- by hearsay and innuendo” when Roy Cohn, thé subcofnmittee’s chief counsel, injected a statement that a witness who appeared at a closed séssion ‘Knew she was a Communist.” Sen.. Mundt (R-SD), telling Cohn he objected to hear- say evidence, ordered the remark stricken. Mundt was presiding in McCarthy’s temporary absence. Symington told Mrs. Moss he thought she was telling the truth and offered to help her get a job if the suspension of her Army onpleraere became permanent. In New York, John J. McCloy, fofmer assistant secretary of war, togk issue with a statement by McCarthy that “undesirables” had been admitted to the Army under For Home or a wartime poliey which McCarthy ealled the “MeCloy order.” MeCloy said he could recall no such order he issued but that there was a wartime staff icy against soldiers ‘“‘whose loyalty to the United States, was affirmative- ly determined by their command- ing officers, even though their Prior association or that of their aes was known or suspect- MCloy, now board chairman of the Chase National Bank, said this policy was “entirely sound” and that among the men affected he did not know of “a single de- fection, and there were many who were decorated for valor and not a few who were killed in action.” MeCloy said that not only sol- diers alleged to have been asso- ciated with Communist organiza- tions were affected by the policy but also some under suspicion be- cause of contacts with German and Japanese groups.
