Washington, March 13.
Owen Lattimore, well-known author and authority on Chino, and Haldore
Hanson, former journalist and teacher in China, wore
among three State Department, officials accused by Senator Joseph McCarthy today
as being pro-Communists.
Senator McCarthy also accused the Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Acheson, of hiding behind his security officer, the Deputy Under-Secretary, John Peurifoy.
"
He challenged Mr. Acheson to "stand up like a man and take the blame for this sorry situation."
At a stormy Sennte Foreign Relations sub-Committee hearing, the Wisconsin Republican ticked off these names of alleged bad security risks in the Government:
1. ffaklore Hanson, 37-year- old State Department executive in charge of planning for Presi- dent Truman's "Point Faur" pro- gramme. Mr. McCarthy said Mr. Hanson is a man with a mission - to Communise the world.

Advantageous Plan
These are formidable dimcul- ties. But they are not altogether decisive against Mr. Lippmann's scheme. A formal neutralisation agreement in Asia may not, be possible: it would require a de- gree of confidence in the sanctity of treatles which today does not exist. But it might prove to the advantage of both Russia and the West to come to an Informal understanding by which neither seeks to use the Aslan countries as bases against the other, or to secure in them the polliical in- fluence which might later be used for military purposes.
