Republican Critics’ Defiant Retorts
(10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, March 31. Senators McCarthy,_ Bridges and Wherry yesterday replied to President Truman’s charges that they were sabotaging the bipartisan foreign policy. Senator McCarthy said: “I would like to plead guilty to sabotaging foreign policy in the Far East. Our batting average there is zero. If someone can disrupt plans for turning the rest of the Far East over to the Communists, that is what I hope we will accomplish. I wish someone had sabotaged it sooner.” Senator Bridges said the only sabotage he was guilty of was an effort to sabotage “some of the subversive and security risks so they will be thrown out of preferred spots in the Government.”
Senator Wherry said the best way to prove who was aiding the Kremlin was for President Truman to give Senate investigators access to the secret loyalty flies.
