Of direct evidence to support the
contention that there were 205
or 81, or 81 known, card-carryine
Communists in the Department oi
State"
Senator Mccarthy has used those
three figures in differing ways in
pressing his charges against the
department.
Contempt Citations Urged.
Other developments included:
l. Edward P. Morgan, counsel
Of the investigating committee,
recommended contempt citations
against Earl Browder, former Com
munist leader, and Frederick VAN
derbilt Field, wealthy. New Yorker,
for refusing, to answer questions in
a recent pubic hearing.
2. The investigating committee
was expected to meet tomorrow
to consider the recommended con-
tempt citation and also to plan
the study of the State Department
loyalty files.
In his Chicago speech rapping
the Democratic administration
Senator Mccarthy suggested that
| if President Truman will not make
all the files available, including
those of the FBI, he should accept
a proposal the Senator made for
clearing away what he described
as "the litter of deceit that has
collected about the administra-
tion on this Communist issue"
Mccarthy Calls For Conference.
The Wisconsin Republican sug-
gested that Mr.. Truman call in
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, the
heads of the Secret Service and
Central Intelligence Agency, and
the directors of military intelli-
gence for a check on all persons
suspected of disloyalty.
These men," Senator Mccarthy
declared, will reverse loyalty
board fumbling and will give
America the benefit of the doubt.
Senator Mccarthy suggested
that President Truman tell then
to compile list of men and wom-
en- in the Government who are
dangerous to the security of the
country" and added:
Tell them to study the list. use
tough standards, cut them to fiji
the cloth of Communist treachery
and tell you whom to fire. . Let
these experts in their line rid the
Nation of spies and traitors. Let's
clean house, with decency and
honesty. Let's forget petty poll
tics and do for America a job that
is long overdue"
Loyalty Program Attacked.
Senator Mccarthy lashed out
at what he called a $25 million
Federal loyalty program that is
failing to get rid of Communists.
Under the program, he ex-
planned. each department is al
lowed to conduct it's own investi-
cation and that those in charge
of the program know little or

Forceful Means Favored.
Senator Mccarthy, a former
Marine, said he favors doing any
thing, including forceful means
to go in and get the two Marines
He made the remark in reply
to a reporters question whether
he favors an expeditionary force
to rescue the two men. He added
quickly:
However, it wouldn't take force
If we say we mean business they
would give them up. They won't
go to war over two men,"
The Senator also said in the
news conference that he would
like to go on to other departments
after cleaning out" the State
Department.
The Senator called for a "get
tough" policy with Communists
that would regain our lost pres
tige among the nations of the
earth and would actually insure
peace"
But we cannot have that peace
if the policy of this Nation con-
tinues to be shaped by those who
are either disloyal to this Nation
or alf-hearted in their loyalty, u
Senator Mccarthy continued
"And remember that a Commu-
nist-minded individual strategi-
cally placed in a State Depart
ment position is much more dam
gerous than an A-bomb."
Mr.. Morgan, in recommending
the contempt citations, said the
papers were sent to members of
the subcommittee yesterday for
their consideration over the week
end.
1t is expected that the sub
committee will take up the con-
tempt action with the full Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
headed by Senator Connally
Democrat, of Texas. The citations,
if voted there, would then go to

Senator Mccarthy noted that

to the committee only two day:
before he was due to leave or
what the Wisconsin Republican
described as a "junket" across
the country.
Three weeks ago it was a
matter of high principle with the
President to keep the files invio-
late" Senator Mccarthy added
Senator Recalls Warnings.
Nov, three weeks later, this Is
no longer so. Part of the files
the part that will make his cross
country junket less embarrassing
suddenly becomes un-secret and
Mr.. Truman cancels out his high
principles"
Senator Mccarthy said he had
warned time after time that the
investigation could not be done
with only the skinny rib bones
Of the State Department files. He
added that a House Appropria-
tionS Committee report two years
ago noted that the files were in
complete and maintained in a
"SlipShod manner"

Senator said, "Mr. Tydings has
decided to keep them secret from
his own staff of investigators who
are supposed to be experts anc
could detect how badly the files
were rif1ed."
This, Senator Mccarthy con-
tended, is another long step for

Republican Defends Course.
Senator Mccarthy defended his
course in naming State Depart
ment employees and others in pub
lie hearings. There was no way
on earth this could have been
done secretly" he added. People
have been trying to do this with
kid gloves for the past five years
and have gotten nowhere.
Either I had to do a bare
knuckie job or suffer the same de-
feat that a vast number of vel,
meaning men have suffered over
past years."
Senator Mccarthy ripped Out

Department and Secretary oil
State Acheson particularly fol
their failure to effect the release
OF two American soldiers helc
prisoners of Chinese Communists
for 18 months. Charging that

unexpected.

this principle to break the ice when he's
the host at social gatherings. As me
dunn for dissipating a stuffy atmosphere
in one fell swoop, and making stiff necked
guests unbend and enjoy themselves this
method, he says, has no equal. Here's his
formula:
Let's say you've invited guests in for the
evening. They're only slightly acquainted
with each other, and an air of self-conscious
politeness permeates the atmosphere, max
ing it impossible for anyone to relax and
have fun.
You realize that your party is not only
dying - it's already dead.
During one of the frequent breaks in con-
versation, excuse yourself and leave the

When you re-enter casually remove your
coat, hang it on an imaginary nail on the
wall and walk away. The coat, of course,

gasp, followed split-second later with an
uncomfortable burst of laughter - or so our

You can try it on guests coat if you
want - only be sure you pick one who
won't lost his sense of humor when his coat
hits the floor!
GRANTED the trick sounds silly enough,
but the party-goer insists that it has never
failed yet. If true, the reason is simply that
it is very ordinary action capped by an
utterly unexpected denouement.
Always remember, whenever you want
to produce humorous situation, that the
element of complete surprise is one of the
most powerful and effective ingredients A
great deal, of course, will depend on the
sense of humor of your own particular
audience.
For best results maybe youd better pick
people who have taken the course at the
University of Florida. Then if your efforts

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Continued from page eighteen
- whether it was genu-

at almost anything - whether it was genu
inely funny or not
y: What type of joke do most people
find the funniest?
A: Professor John M. Wilmann, of the
University of Illinois, has made an exhaus-
tive study of this question. He points out
that shock at least mild shock - is one
of the most important elements in humor
And the professors findings show that
"risque jokes in general produce greater
laughter than other jokes, because they are
shocking beyond the limits of most of the
other humor." And his studies also show
that the funniest off-color story for any
individual is the one which provides the
greatest shock that he can take with a
playful attitude"
Surveys suggest, incidentally, that a
woman's appreciation of the lusty anecdote
may be no less keen than mans Psycholo-
gists also cast doubt on the notion that she
is more likely to be embarrassed than the
male when a racy story is recounted in
mixed company AS matter of fact, tests
at Colgate University have shown that
when naughty story is told in mixed COM
pany, the men show greater tendency to
become embarrassed than the women do
Q: Can the effect of a funny story be
literally side-splitting?
4: Yes. 1t sometimes happens that ter
rihcally funny story may produce such
paroxysms of laughter that internal injury
may result Not long ago Cincinnati's Vice
Mayor. Edward Waldvogel, told an excru-
ciatingly funny story to one of his acquaint-
ances. humor-loving gentleman named
suffered lung injury in the process. Physi-
clans diagnosed the injury as spontaneous
pneumothorax, sent the victim a bill for
$500.
Unfortunately, raconteurs who would
give an eyetooth to add joke of such ter
rife caliber to their collections are doomed
to disappointment For both the Mayor and
the victim confess that in the furry of ex-
citement that followed the incident, both
forgot Just which joke it was that did all the
damage.
D: What's a sure-Gre ,cay of making
nine out of 10 people laugh?

TALES

Are you mechanically inclined
and interested in picking up some
extra coin in your spare time?
Here's a suggestion for any
one who might be so inclined and
so interested:
This community, it seems to us,
could support someone VINO could
fix children's toys scooters,
wagons, toy automobiles, trl-
cycles, kiddie cars, and such. To
our knowledge, there is no place
in Marysville where n can get
such work done.
The investment would not be
very much. About all that would
be required, outside of some place
10 use as a work shop, would be
a set of wrenches, couple of
=. screw drivers, a hammer, an as
sortment of nuts, bolts and wash
ers, and perhaps an electric drill.
1t wouldn't hurt to keep wire tri-
cycle and bicycle spokes on hand,
too.
Wen wager there are few
children in town without one or
two such toys as mentioned
above.
And we'll also wager that hall
of them could do with some re-
pairs right now. 1t just ISM
FORMAL if a kid doesn't do some
thing to his p~laythings, at least
once a summer, and especially
with toys which have been made
since the war.
Perhaps we're wrong, but il
seems like a real opportunity fol-
the right man to make himself
a nice piece of change.
