cents a cony, is entitled ‘“McCar- .

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.

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

‘ated.
“Only Kefauver can answer

that he tried to buy Kefauver off

Campaign material for him.
“Gbvicusly, Communist trai:

to speculate as to Kefauver’s
motives.”
