STATE DEPARTMENT SOFT TO COMMUNIST CHINA, U.S. SENATOR ALLEGES
Reno, Nov., April 16.
Senator Pat McCarran today accused Secretary of State Dean Acheson of giv
ing the Senate misleading and folre information on American aid to China, and said the Department's Division of Far Eaitorn Affairs had- boan definitely soft to Communist Chino.
Senator McCorran said: "The letter of Secretary
Acheson addressed to Senator Tom Connally, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, opposing my proposal to aid Nationalist China in its fight against Communism, is both in- accurate and misleading."
"I cannot explain it, but the Department's Division of Far Eastern Affairs is definitely soft to Com- munist China. Senator Bridges is entirely right in charging that Achoson had committed a thoughtless, tactless, unfriendly and damaging act against Nationalist China.
