Truman and McCarthy disagreed about communists controlling the US government. Dwight Eisenhower also disagreed.

Eisenhower felt that limited, regional conflicts hurt the United States (:
McCarthy claimed that there were known communists in the State Department. He held investigations and hearings and which ruined many careers. Presidents Truman and Eisenhower so feared his influence with the public that they did nothing to stop him. When McCarthy attacked the US Army as a hotbed of communist activity, the Senate finally censored him and he died a broken politician.
My opinion is, Truman should have used the atomic bomb. If he hadn't the war would have continued, and more would have died. Also I think that at one point the Axis would have dropped a atomic bomb on an allied city, possibly killing more then at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
During the early stages of the Korean War, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur was a proponent of liberating the entire Korean Peninsula from communist influence. President Truman and Secretary of State Dean Acheson felt that if this plan was followed it would cause the Communist Chinese to enter the war and expand it beyond acceptable limits. Following the Inchon landing, General MacArthur's United Nations troops pushed the North Koreans north to the Yalu River, the border between North Korea and China. General MacArthur advocated attacking Chinese forces, but was denied this action by President Truman and Secretary Acheson. General MacArthur then began to publicly disagree with his Commander in Chief and to seek to weaken him politically with the support of U.S. Senators, including Joe McCarthy. President Truman's statement on April 10, 1951 can be found at the link below.

Assuming that you are referring to Joseph McCarthy, the notorious anti-Communist Republic Senator in the 1950s, then Truman never fired him. As a member of Congress, McCarthy was elected (from Wisconsin), and could not be fired by a President.

Harry S. Truman the 34th Vice President and the 33rd President of the United States was a Democrat.
Absolutely opposite. Truman even fired MacArthur over the disagreement.

Both the Federal Employee Loyalty Program, as well as Joseph McCarthy's hearings, were focused on rooting out communist influence in the US government. McCarthy's hearings sometimes also focused on evaluating the security risk of homosexuals in government.
