PROFESSOR DENIES ANY CONNECTION WITH COMMUNISM
(10 a.m.) NEW YORK, April 2 The vicious attacks on the highest officials of the State Department by Senator Joseph McCarthy were accomplishing results for the Russians which exceeded their wildest hopes, said Professor Owen Lattimore, professor of the John Hopkins University, yesterday. Professor Lattimore is to appear before the Senate sub-committee investigating Senator McCarthy's charges of Communist influence in the State Department. Senator McCarthy told the sub-com-mittee that Professor Lattimore was the top Russian agent in the United States.
