Peurifoy Says
McCarthy Perils
Foreign Affairs
Acheson Names Ways
Russia Can •Aid Peace
WASHINGTON -= Senator Jos
eph McCarthy was accused yes
terday of damaging foreign rela
tions by John Peurifoy, deputy
undersecretary of state. Peur'ifoy
blamed McCarthy's "techniques"
in attempting to back up charges
of communism in the State "De
partment for the damage.
The official accused McCarthy
of reviving discredited, disproven
charges in his attack on John S.
Service, veteran diplomat. Service
has been recalled from India by
the State Department to answer
the senator's allegations before a
senate sub-committee.
McCarthy claimed last week
that he knew of 57 card-holding
communists in the State Depart
ment. He named Dorothy Kenyon,
prominent woman attorney, and
Mrs. Dean Acheson among others.
The State Department has repeat
edly denied the charges.
Asks Red Action -
Secretary of State Dean Ache
son yesterday named seven ways
in which he says Russia can prove
a desire to ease the cold war
and promote peace, but added
that he doesn't expect any results.
Among the points he placed co
operation on German, Austrian
and Japanese peace treaties and
in working out an atomic control
plan.
Acheson `also asked that Russia
stop treating our diplomats as
"criminals" and tell the Russians
the truth about this country.
Czechs Oust DeLivi a
PRAGUE—Czechoslovakia has
ordered Vatican representative
Msgr. Ottavio DeLive to leave the
country' within three days. The
Czech government accused De-
Liva, secretary of the papal nun
ciature in Prague of interfering
with the 'country's internal affairs.

Marvin Riesenbach as the 15-
year-old "John" and Donald Bar
ton as the younger "Whitney"
were not quite polished enough
to handle perplexing roles as
adolescents. Barton seemed a bit
grotesque in short pants and
black knee stockings and had a
little trouble with his voice. Rei
senbach leaned toward over
playing. ,
Both Riiih Johnson as "Cousin
Cora" and Barbara Clopp as
"Mary Skinner" did well enough,
the former .. showing laudable
verve and the latter effusing a
pleasant adolescent sunniness.
Nicholas Morkides was proper
ly sugary and, oratorical as the
minister, and Richard Evans and
Ferd Leuschner were convention
al doctors. JoAn Lee was buxom
and happy as the cook, and Lois
Pulver, Seena Herzog, Helen Jas
kol, and Barbara Tex were ade
quate as a long succession of
maids. •
Costumes were well chosen for
the period, and those of the wo
men were pleasingly bright. Al
though .authenic and well-con
ceived, Oren L. Stein's set seem
ed a trifle flat.
Tickets for performances at 8
o'clock tonight and tomorrow
night still are on sale at the Stu
dent Union deck in Old Main.
Price is $l.
