Winchell Predicts McCarthy Attack

Walter Winchell, on his broadcast over the American Broadcasting Network, announced last night that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy would attack Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, associate professor of History, and Louis Wexler of the New York Post tonight at 9:30 p.m.

According to Winchell, McCarthy will speak over the Mutual Network. Boston station WNAC, which carries Mutual programs in New England, said last night that they knew nothing about the broadcast.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee charged yesterday that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy made "at least 18 false statements, distortions, or quotations wrenched from context" in his radio-TV attack on Governor Adlai E. Stevenson last week.

Defense of Schlesinger

The 5,000-word statement included a detailed defense of Schlesinger, and a denial that Archibald MacLeish, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, was "in the Stevenson campaign camp" or that he was ever a "Stevenson adviser."

Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell charged that McCarthy took quotes from writings by Schlesinger and suppressed the articles' "anti-Red content" which attacked Communist "intrigue and deceit."
