eee ia ent ata a tt a ete i i ada 2046 ator from Wisconsin is gqing to proceed with his speech. My LANQER Mir President. sil the SAR i es OM ROL, WLS Genator yield to mie for the purpose of suggesting the absence of a quorum? Mr. McCARTHY. If that is done I do not think we will obtain » quorum, and I Will be obliged to disconfinue: I should like to read some more of my speech. Mr. President, at this time I ask unan- imous consent that we proceed until 7 o'clock without having a quorum call. and at that time the Benate adjourn until 11 o'clock tomorrow, and that then I may have the floor. Mr. LUCAS. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, let me say that what has now been suggested is what is often suggested under similar circumstances. Let me remind the Senate t on the request of certain Democratic and Re- publican Members I made the announce- ment that there would De no vote to- night on the important measure which is now pending, the cotton-potato meas- ure. Consequently many Senators have gone home. Now the Senatér from Nebraska (Mr, WHerev), the minority Jeader, and others, do not want the Sena- ter from Wisconsin to continue. They Want @ quorum call. The Senator from Wisconsin now asks that he be allowed to quit at 7 o'clock. If the speech is one which is going to electrify the Na- tion, T should think the Benator from a wmats!4 ftactes sot 14 aw Le Wisconsin would VesITe to Bet bb Oll Cu chest as fast as he possibly can, and not wait until tomorrow, because tomorrow the Senator will have no larger audience than he bas at the present time. I should like to say to the Senator from Wisconsin that tf the statement he is about to make is as important as he says ft is, and if he can prove what he says he is going to prove, he will] find the Ben- ator from Tinols making the same de- mand that the Senator from Massachu- getts made, which is a a thorough and. complete investigation with respect to all the Communists he is going to name. IT want to remain here until he names them. That ts whet I am Interested in. The newspaper reporters and the people ef the country generally are demande to know who these 207 or 201 Bists are. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. President, I will not yield any further. Mr. ENOWLAND. Mr. President. will the Genator yield in order to straighten cut the record respecting the program for tamorrow? Mr. McCARTHY. Yes. Mr. ENOWLAND. I call the Sena- tor’s attention to the fact that we al- ready have a special order that the Ben- ate will meet at 11 o'slock tomorrow morning under a whanimous-consent agreement, with the time for a vote hav- ing been set. Therefore it would not be possible for the Senator to continue his speech as of 11 o'clock tomorrow, Mr. McCARTHY., Very well I wil withhold yielding for a cali of s quorum for the time being. if the Senator does mot mind. Mr. President, I continue to read from my speech: Now I know it is very easy for anyone to eandemn a particular bureau of departmant a ® man who hits dons much to shape our foreign policy. "When Chiang Kai-shek was fighting our war, the State De had to chins s a young man named Jobo - Fils task, obviously, was not to K for the commu- higation of China.

Later, this map—Jo. Trice—was picked up by the Pederal of Investigation for turning over to the Communists secret State Department information. Strangely, however, he was never ted. How- ever, Joseph Grew, the Under Secretary of Btate, who ingisted on his prosecution, was forced to resign.

He was taken into the Btate ment from his Job as a Heutgrant colonel in the Commu- mist Brigade.

Mr. President, 1 call the attention of the Senator from Dlinols to the fact—es- pecially in view of the comment he re- cently made—that I did not list John Service as one of the 57. Perhaps I could have, but I have listed only persons whose files were available to me. For some un- Known reason, John Service's file has disappeared in the Biate Department. I have tried to find where it is, and I have been toid that it is in the office—quoting the individual over there—“of the top brass.” 6o I have not listed Service, and that is the sole reason why I have not. I have sted only individuals whose rec- - ords have been confirmed by the Presi- dent's own investigative agency. The Senator from Illinois will aleo note that I have not named any of the 67.
