enlooper whether he had obtained
the letter from Senator Mccarthy.
Senator Hickenlooper heated1y
retorted that the matter was out
side the province" Of Senator
Green's question: He later said
he had not obtained the letter
from Senator Mccarthy but did
not know whether it had come
from him.
Senator Tydings resolved the
uncertainty, about releasing it by
assuming that responsibility and,
while the audience applauded, had
Mr.. Fortas read it.
The letter showed that Mr..
baltimore was warning against
employing any Chinese who were
not completely loyal to their owl
connections and who might seek
to advance one or another faction
in China.

At the close Of the hearing
Senator Tydings announced that
the investigating committee would
meet at II am. Tuesday for a
report from Senator Mccarthy on
whether he has been able to get
witnesses to testify against Mr..
baltimore in a public hearing.
Senator Mccarthy said he
would go to New York over the
week end to see If the witness
he claims will support his
charges will be willing to testify.
Senator Tydings also said he
hopes the committee will con-
duct its inquiry in closed session
after hearing in public all per-
sons accused by Senator Nc
Carthy.
Mr.. Fortas said he expected to
confer with Mr.. baltimore early
next week about a possible SANDER
action against Senator Mccarthy.

SIXTH FLOOR

store today received 10 appiica-
tionS for vacancies on the watch
mems staff. four of them in per-
son and six by telephone. Ordi-
narily. the store is obliged to ad-
vertise to find suitable applicants,
it was said.
When the next signal failed to
come in an hour after Mr.. Hess
reported from the second floor a
representative of the agency tele-
phoned the store Mr.. Marisi, it
was said, answered the call, and
reported that police already were
being notified. Members of the
private agency then joined the in
vestigation.
Police believe Mr.. Hess was at
tackled first by some one waiting
for him to come to the sixth floor
after checking lower floors.
The elevator was left in posi-
ton, and the intruder or intruders
made their way to the ground
floor by a staircase. The fatal
encounter with Mr.. Carpenter
followed soon afterward.
The strange murders recalled a
"cat and mouse" episode in which
an intruder remained concealed
in Woodward & Lothrops' depart
ment store for SO hours last Feb
ruary. During this time he man
aged to elude three watchmen on
night duty and collected some
$4,000 in loot, police said. He
finally was captured and indicted
a few days ago.
Mr.. Hess. former Public
Buildings Administration guard
and special policeman, had a resi-
dence in Baltimore but kept room
here at the Massachusetts avenue
address.
He was last at his Baltimore
home Wednesday, according to his
family. His wife. Mrs. Willie Hess.
is employed by a Baltimore cloth
ing manufacturer. He also is sur
vived by daughter, Mrs. Char
lotte McDorman, of Baltimore; a
sister, Mrs. Randolph Reede,
Staunton. Va. and four brothers,
Vernon. Clarence, John and Neff.
Mr.. Hess was a temporary Gov
eminent guard during the war
and was attached for two years
to the Auueduct Police Of the Army
Engineers here. He, left the Gov
ernment in reduction of force
in 1916.
Carpenter Watchman s Years.
Mr.. Carpenter had been a Lans-
burgh watchman for about six
years. Earlier he was a guard at
the Perpetual Building Associa-
ton. according to friends.
He lived with another bachelor,
Harold Minteer, painter. A
brother. William Carpenter, has
his home IN the same neighbor-
hood, at 49l H street S.W. An
other survivor is sister, Mrs.
Vernon Padgett of Forestville, Md.
Last year Mr.. Carpenter was
given an award by the store for
meritorious service.

To Circulate Petitions
For Mccarthy Recall
BY ths A,seeie,sd Press

MADISON, Wis. April THE
University of Wisconsin Chapter
of the Students for Democratic
Action has voted to circulate petit
tions asking for the recall OF SEN
ator Mccarthy. Republican. Of
Wisconsin.
Lloyd A. Barbee. Nashville.
Tenn. president of the chapter.
said the action was taken be
cause Of McCarthy's attacks on
the State Department"
Mr.. Barbee. a student in the
law school, said it was his opinion
that Senator Mccarthy has done
irreparable harm in weakening
our foreign policy program by
making unqualified attacks on
certain officials"
Another member. David Fries
OF Beloit. Wis. said, we think
something should be done to show
that Wisconsin is not behind
Mccarthy in his charges"
Under Wisconsin law. to force
a recall, the petition would have
to bear a, minimum of 3l6,535
signatures. or Is per cent of the
total vote in the last l948D cleo
ton for Governor.
The Wisconsin Secretary of
State then would have to call
special election for Mr.. Nc
Carthy's Senate seat within As
days. Mr.. McCarthys name
would 60 on the ballot auto
matically. Other candidates would
have to be nominated at special
primaries before the recall cleo
ton.
Mr.. Barbee said a committee of
six had been named to draft the
petition.
The Wisconsin chapter of the
SDA has IS members. 1t is
recognized by the university as
a political group for sponsoring
forums and efforts in
political education. 1t is a
branch of the Americans for
Democratic Action and defines it
self as non -Communistic liberal

been received.
So far as could be determined
there were no suspects or any wit
nesses who had seen suspicious
persons in the store or the
vicinity.
The first body was discovered
about lis am. by William y;
Griffith of 2027 Branch avenue
Sc. who had been repairing a
main door at the store with a
fellow metal worker. Anthony
Marisi, Of 3o44 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. Sc, police said.
Mr.. Griffith went to the wash
room shortly before he planned
to leave the job with his partner
He called Mr.. Marisi. who re-
manned in the room with the
body while Mr.. Griffith walked
and ran to the First Precinct,
some four or flve blocks distant.
Police who returned with Mr..
Griffith called for more help to
search the big building for the
second watchman. 1t was at first
thought the victim might be a
suicide.
Meanwhile, shortly before the
policemen arrived at the store with
Mr.. Griffith, Pvt. Robert Seibert OF
No. l Precinct found a door open
and unguarded on the E street
side. The policeman was investi-
eating when Mr.. Griffith reached
the store with Corpl. John s.
Hughes and Pvts. r. j. Glover
and A. G. Fielder of No. Precinct.
1t was discovered, police said
that a watchman's key was still
in the lock on the inside of the
door. as if an intruder was in too
much of hurry to leave the store
to close the door behind him OF
dispose of the key. The door was
near a chair usually occupied by
the night watchman on duty. The
inside key is habitually left in the
lock, police said.
Police found the body Of Mr..
Carpenter lying on his back. There
were three stab wounds in the

SenaIe oroup Expects
To Reject Proposal 10
Cut Denham' S Power
BY the Asseeioted Pres,

A Senate committee appeared
about ready today to reject Presi-
dent Truman's proposal that
NLRB General Counsel Robert N.
Denham be deprived of his inde-
pendent powers.
Members of the Senate Execu-
tive Expenditures Committee,
which has been holding hearings
on the Presidents plan to reor-
ganize the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, indicated they would
vote for resolution turning down
the proposal. However. that
would not bind the Senate itself
to follow suit.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, sponsor of the resolution,
has said the reorganization plan
would make a labor czar" of Paul
M. Herzog, chairman of the five
man NLRB. Senator Taft is CO.
author of the Taft-Hartley Act,
which created Mr.. Denham's Of
lice IN 1947.
The committee concluded hear
ings on the Taft resolution last
night after Mr.. Denham had Of
fered a spirited defense of his
activities as general counsel. Mr..
Denham had not testified at SINH
lar hearings before the House
Committee on Executive Expendi-
lures. which voted down a pro-
posal to nullify the Truman re-
organization program.
The plan becomes effective au-
tomatically unless a majority of
the members of either the House
or Senate vote to reject it.
Mr.. Denham said that if Con-
eress permits the plan to go into
effect, the resulting court cases
will create chaos" for at least
two years.

dition to a cut across the ear.
Maj. Barrett, who personally took
charge of the investigation, said
the watchman had put up a terif-
nc fight.
His hands and feet had been
tied by a small rope and he had
been loosely gagged with a white
cloth, probably a handkerchief.
Butcher Knife Found.
The murder weapon lay just
outside the mems room door. near
Mr.. Carpenters broken glasses
and wallet.
There was some loose change on
the floor. but the contents of the
wallet apparently were intact, it
was learned. Investigators thought
1t possible the contents of the
pockets might have been scattered
in the struggle.
Reinforcements summoned to
search the big building for the
second watchman found Mr.. Hess
lying face down some 10 or Is
feet from the open door on the
sixth floor freight elevator near
the Eighth street side of the store.
Bloodstains in the elevator, and
the Watchman'S clock found on
the floor. indicated Mr.. Hess had
been attacked within the car,
probably by an assailant who had
awaited his arrival on the floor.
Dragged Outside Elevator.
Chief Barrett expressed the
view that Mr.. Hess could not
have known what hit him" as he
opened the elevator door. He
then had been dragged outside
the elevator. The man appar-
emily had no time to reach for
the gun strapped to his body.
Police said he had been stabbed
twice in the chest and three times
in the back.
Investigators were told that the
two men alternated ground and
upper floor duty every hour. While
one of them checked the higher
floors, carrying the gun and time
clock, the other remained below
to keep an eye on ground-foor
entrances.
A friend of Mr.. Carpenters said
that but for an unexpected shift
in the duties of the two men, an

Senator Tydings made arrange

AS Senator Tydings finished his
statement a smile broke over Mr..
Lattimore's face and his wife, who
was sitting behind him, leaned
forward and touched his shoulder.
Senator Mccarthy, who had at
tended morning session, was not
present at the time. He told re-
porters later:
Either Tydings hasn't seen the
files, or he is lying. There is no
other alternative.
Senator Tydings had said the

FBI records and not the so-called
'raw" file of all FBI data.
Senator Mccarthy said he did
not know what Mr.. Hoover gave
the committee and added: But I
know what is in the files"
In commenting on Senator
McCarthys statement, Chairman

There was a stir when Senator
Hickenlooper produced a copy OF
a letter Mr.. baltimore wrote in

War Information for the agency's
Atlantic operations. At that time
Mr.. baltimore was deputy director

trying to get rid of Chinese in the

Mccarthy refused to make the
letter public at that time.
Senator Hickenlooper said he
had come into possession of the
letter and hesitated to make it
public since it was marked "se-
cret." He asked Mr.. baltimore to
examine it and see If he had writ
ten it.
Mr.. baltimore and his attorney,
