McCarthy, in a speech to a group or his fellow Marine Corps veterans, dared Latti more to sue him for libel for charging he had guided the U. S. along the Communist trail in China.

But he did not call Lattimore Russia's "top espionage agent" in the U. S. and a Communist as he did in the Senate under Congressional immunity. These were two labels he pinned on the Far Eastern expert in speeches on the Senate floor, where he was safe from libel action. Doesn't Expect Suit Asked after his speech if he expected to be sued, McCarthy grinned broadly and said: "Hell no." Lattimore, upon hearing the contents of McCarthy's speech, said in Washington: 1 "Senator.
