a . é Poe " al By ELEAN@£, ROOSEVELT Sen. McCarthy's | Charges Are Music “Tio the Kremlin NEW YORK, Tuesday—What 4 relief _it is to ve Someone speak up fearless} yas Ambassador Philip C™fessup_has now done in his own defense an th Gen. Mayshall ald Gen. Eisenliower Back him up. Guilt by association is a very dangerous accusation and the smearing of people before you have proved them guilty puts our country in a strange light before rest of the wor'd, ~- seems to me that Sen. Joceph R. McCarthy and those whovsup- Port-him have done a great deat or“Narm to the possible butlding Up of a strong b:partisan foreign Oley. in addition. they have shown told lack of appreciation or-what-this sort of performance oes in Weakening our représenta- (fon in other parts of the vorlg. we have an extremety strong and able Secreraty—or-State 1h Dean Acheson. He-Ts a ik 3lip- ported by foyal and devoted ‘American citizens. If our Jegisia- tive branch can find and prove that there are a few people in the State Department who should be removed, it should be done quietly and quickly, with as little pub- licity as possible. The accusers cannot realize how much their methods do to heip the Communists. What rejoicing Fe meee z they can gay: “The U. S. is divided: they find Communist sympathizers everywhere.” ! That is certainly musie to Com: munist ears and shouid give gen- Uemen ke Sen. McCarthy_pauge in pursuing the present tactics. =e eT I MUST sav a word in this column about the late Ellis Gimbel. It has au1's seemed to me that he personiiicd realy responsibie citi- genship in a community, Not beire a Philadelpiian, I cannot. of course, know of ail the ways in which he helped peoz.e lo raise the level of civie respon sibility among the well-tede ‘n his city. It is many years now since I first heard of the award which he gave annually and [ have always thought that it of- fered encowazement to obscure peopie who might never have had recogniticn if he had not sought them out and pointed to the value of the services they were render- ing in theiy community. He will be missed by many and when I FO to the city of brotherly love dring in the Kremlin when J ushaii regret not finding him there to greet me. - Page Times-Herald ___ = Wash. Post —__. ,waeh.
