University Head Chairman, —— line Dr. Jessup, a top adviser on political affairs and matters in the Far East,,said he was not chair- man of the council during the years Senator McCarthy reported the donations were received. The chairman, Dr. Jessup added, was Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul.,. president of ‘the University of Cal- ifornia. He said the men on the council “would never have ac- gepted payments from Mr. Field or RR one else for ‘selling the Cont- unist Party line," and added:{ , “Neither wouid I, if I had besp in control.” Senators Tydings, Connally anh) Lucas, the Democratic leader, said it would be impractical to turn the present investigation over to the commission proposed by Sen-: stor Lodge wor siege, “I think Senator Lodge should: have made the proposal when the matter was first up in the Senate —not when we sre half way through the investigation,” Sena- bor Tydings said. McCarthy Backs Plan. i Senator McCarthy backed the proposal despite the fact thet Senater Lodge in presenting i said that thus far there had bee no proof to support the Mc Carthy charges. This apparently included the Lattimore case on which Senator McCarthy has said he was willing to let his whole case stand or fall. “Anything would be better than the committee we now have,” Senator McCarthy said through a secretary at Bethesda Naval Hos- ital where he is undergoing reatment for a sinus condition. Senator Hickenlooper, Republi- an, of Iowa, a member of the ¥ivestizating subcommittee. sad he would support the commissic idea only if it becomes impossible for the group to ret the files. Taft Against “Whitewash.” Senator Taft, Republican. of° Ohio said he could see no reason for naming a commission as sug- gested by Senator Lodge unless President Truman would agree in advance that it could see the files denied the Senate committee. “T don’t want one if the com- ission is to be just a whitewa ommission,” he declared. i Senator Taft refused to corh- ent on a statement at Clew- nd by Henry Miller Busch that Senator Taft is the “man behind thedecaithy probe.” Wraith is a candidate for the Democratic ‘nomination for the seat now held ‘by Senator Taft. Mr. Lattimore’s appearance be- fore the committee was postponed: from {oday until Thursday and) he worked in seclusion on his reply to the McCarthy charges. He already has described them as “an unmitigated lie” and said they were made "falsely, irrespon- sibly and libelously.” He plans fo confer with his lawyers soo qn a possible slander suit agains whe Wisconsin Senator. 4 Accuses McCarthy. He said yesterday he was re- leasing the confidential memo- randum because Senator McCar-! thy “in typical fashion is seeking jby insinuation and conceaiment to spread some of the poison of which he has an inexhaustible supply.” He explained that he had planned to make it public when he appeared before the com- mittee.
