WASHINGTON, April 7—
(AP) —Senator Tydings’ as-
sertion that FBI records fully
dear Owen Lattimore of “
“Communist spy” charges
left Senator McCarthy com-
pletely dissatisfied today.
Tydings, Maryland Democrat,
heads the Senate committee inves-
tigating the contentions of Mc-
Carthy, Wisconsin Republican,
that Lattimore Is Russia's top es-
pionage agent in the United States.
Lattimore, an American author-
ity on Far Eastern affairs, yester-
day spent more than three hours
tn the witness chair blasting at
McCarthy’s accusations. His sworn
testimony boiled down to saying
McCarthy had uttered "base and
contemptible Iles.”
Then Lattimore leaned back and
faced Tydings across the . table.
And Tydings told him: \
, “I think as chairman of this com-
mittee I owe it to you and to the
country to tell you that four of
the five members of the committee,
in the presence of J. Edgar Hoover, -
bead of the FBI, had a complete
summary of your Mitt BVUF
ably to them.
Heever Gave Data ~
"Mr. Hoover himself prepared
these data. It was quite lengthy
sr.d at the conclusion of the read-
ing of that summary, in great de-
tail, it was the universal opinion
of all the members of the commit-
tee present and all others In the
room, of which there were two
more, that there was nothing In
that file to show that you were a
Communist or ever had been a
Communist, or that you ever were
connected with Shy esptofiage In-
formation or charges.
"So that the FBI puts you com-
pletely, up to this moment at least,
in the clear.”
McCarthy, out of-the hearing
room at the time, later fired baek
to newsmen:
“Either Tydings hasn’t seen the
files, or he Is lying. There is no
other alternative.”
Tydings had said the committee
saw a summary of the FBI record
on Lattimore •
“raw” file. ’
Knew* Flies
McCarthy retorted he does not
know what Hoover gave the com-
The walkout, at 12 20 p.m., oc-
curred while some 400 women stu-
dents were eating in the dining
hall. All had been served, but
white employes and dormitory
maids had to pitch in later and
clean up the dishes. The number
of girls at Thursday's meal was
small because most of the 1.800
had gone home for the Easter holi-
days
While the prospects of an eve-
ning meal without the cooks were
dim, Miss Moms, Mrs. Tretbar
and Claude Ca. tieberry, purchasing
agent, went Into the Negro resi-
dential section, found some of the
striking employes and asked them
to return to work.
