Truman Willing To
Aid Spy King Hunt
WASHINGTON, </P)—President
Truman said yesterday he is per
fectly willing to co-operate with
a Senate inquiry into charges that
there is a communist spy ring in
the state department.
At the same time, Mr. Truman
told his news conference that the
question of turning over loyalty
files on government employees to
the investigators is one that he
will pass on when he gets to it.
The Senate foreign relations
committee has set up a special in
vestigating group headed by Sena
tor Tydings (D.-Md.» to look into
the charges by Senator McCarthy
(R.-Wis.» that there are commun
ists in the department.
With a touch of sarcasm, Mr.;
Truman said that if people want
ing to rid the government of dis-!
loyal persons, are earnest and |
have the welfare of the country at j
heart, the proper person to bring j
the complaints to is the President
of the United States.
