McCarthy's Charges Against Gov. Stevenson
(By The Associated Press)
McCarthy made these charges against the Illinois governor:
1. That Stevenson is surrounded by some left-wing advisers.
2. That the Democratic nominee "would continue the suicidal, Kremlin-dictated policies of this nation."
3. That Stevenson, assigned the task of formulating post-war U.S. policy in Italy, prescribed a plan "foisting Communism" on the Italians.
4. That Stevenson is "part and parcel" of the Acheson-Hiss-Lattimore group.
McCarthy had not concluded his speech when his broadcast time of 30 minutes ended. After he went off the air, he charged that Stevenson had the endorsement, in effect, of the Communist Daily Worker.
In his prepared text, McCarthy said "I do not state that Stevenson was a Communist or a pro-Communist, but I must believe something was wrong somewhere." However, in his speech before the nation-wide audience, McCarthy deleted this sentence.
