McCarthy (R) of wiseon-| sin started another poiitical GB! roar yesterday with publication in; magazine form of a documented’ a Tepo.* on the fight he has waged: , ‘since February 1950, against com-" munism in the government. | Mecarthy accuses Sen.

The McCarthy report, published by P-un-Adair Co. to sell at 50 cents a cony, is entitled ‘“McCar- . thyism—The Fight for America.” it conlains the answers to hun- dreas of hostile questions flung at McCarthy during the, last two years as he named federal offi- ciais who were either Commu- nists or supporters of Communist objectives.

Secilruy risks, He inciudes a siz, zling section on Owen Lattimore, : the State depariment consultant: whom he labeled a Soviet agent, and who has just been barred by the State department fram leav- ing the country. M:Carthy leveled his guns on Kefauver in a discussion of eon. gressional immunity. He noted that cefauver used congressional! immunity to charge people with being crooks, gamblers and rac Gp $ but attacked McCarthy for ing the same ifhmunity to bx. Pdse Communists in government. ‘ating that his latest publica. was not immune from livel action, McCarthy wrote: oe bone 4 4anen QAR JUL Aq ines i te ad — ser a “Sen.

He has Parrotted the: stock ieft-wing phrases about! ‘smearing innocent people’ with. | out of course being able to nhame @ single innocent person who hss been smeared. No Mertion is made of the fact that a Sizable number of the ‘innocent’ People have since either gone to jell or have beer. &oiten rid of under the loyalty Program.” Recalis Bribe Offer McCarthy then recalled that in & Magazine article in April, 1951, Kefauver declared he had been offered a bribe “in six figures” to Prevent a committee investigation, “offering to pay a pubile official] a huge bribe is a serious crime,’ McCarthy wrote. “Uniess the criminal who makes the offer is exposed and prosecuted, he anc other criminals anc racketeers will rightly understanc this is a éreen light to attempt to DIY pro- tection from other Public officers.” McCarthy asked i° the bripe- offerer got the Protection from he Kefauver committee whigk © tried to buy or was invesfi- ‘ated. “Only Kefauver can answer at question,” he rer.arkeg, and he has refused to disclose either the Pame of the individual or the meker in whieh he was Mvolved.
