By Rene MacColl

HAT is it that has turned sour the atmosphere of America's

capital, Washington?

Why is it that I find fear and suspicion so prevalent in the huge Federal offices and especially in the rambling State Depart mont (America's Foreign Offico),?

Why is it that the once trunk, breczy, carefree officials are today glum, feng». ful, and tight-lipped?

The answer is easy, Senator Jue McCarthy, of Wlecsin, and his whole atrange, half-hysterical enmpaign of witch-hunting, informing, and "investigating" is to blame.

It is all very sad and worrying. Somehow McCarthyism's original (and perfectly legitimate) concern over, the menace of aggressive Russian Communism has got to mixed up in people's minda, so hopelessly confused with half-bakest notions about treachery, espionage and so forth, that few people are able to think straight about the matter any more.

I called on an important State Department official the other day. On the wall above his head there hung-this notice-

FEDERAL CREED OF SERVICE

We, as members of the Civil Service, accept our obligation and our oppor- tunity to serve the American peoplo well and in full measure, doing our best to further the free and democratic institutions of our country. We believe it is our duty to carry out loyalty the will of the people na expressed in our laws, serve the public with fairness, courtesy, integrity and understanding; help improve the efficiency, economy, and effectiveness of our work, and this do our part ih per- forming the great services of the Government.
