Senate Unit Qualities
Senator Smith TO Sit
In Mccarthy Case

The Senate Rules Committee to-
day expressed confidence in San-
ator Margaret Chase Smith, Re-
publican, of Maine as being quail
fed to sit on a subcommittee con-
sidering a resolution looking to-
ward the expulsion of Senator Nc
Carthy. Republican, of Wisconsin
from the Senate.
Chairman Hayden said the
committee voted unanimously on
the matter after Senator Smith
had asked formally for the COM
mittee to decide whether she
should take part in the subcom-
mittee's study of the resolution.
Mccarthy Raised Question.
Senator Mccarthy had raised a
question about her participation
in view of the Declaration of
Conscience" which she presented
to the Senate last summer. That
declaration was regarded as an
attack on Senator McCarthy's tao
tics in pushing his charges that
Communists had infiltrated the
State Department.
The subcommittee has sched-
uled a meeting Friday to hear
Senator Benton, Democrat, of
Connecticut, author of the reso-
luton, detail reasons why he be-
lieves Senator Mccarthy should
be expelled from the Senate.
Senator Hayden said the full
Rules Committee left it to the
subcommittee to decide whether
Senator Benton should be required
to give his testimony under oath,
as demanded by Senator McCar-
thy. He also said it was up to
the subcommittee to determine
whether open or closed hearings
should be held.
Benton Urges Public Hearing.
Senator Benton has been urging
that the hearing be public. The
subcommittee already has an
nounced that the meeting would
be closed.
Senator Mccarthy told report
er he understood Senate Elec-
tions subcommittee, headed by
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, had agreed to hear Senator
Benton's accusations against him
without the Connecticut Senator's
being sworn.
Senator Mccarthy said any such
procedure would be highly irreg-
ular, improper and unheard Of"
He added: Perhaps he is afraid
to put his charges under oath"
Senator Benton told a reporter
he had testified before congress
sional committees scores Of
times" and had never been sworn.
But he added that he is willing
to make his accusations under
oath and will follow any instruc-
tlons the subcommittee gives.
Two-thirds Voting Required.
Senator Benton is asking the
subcommittee to recommend that
the Senate investigate Senator
Mccarthy to determine whether
he should. be expelled. Such a !
move would require a two-thirds

Iof $4,000. This sum, of course
represented an estimate by Mr.
Boyle and myself. 1t was the
Judgment of Mr.. Boyle and my
self that the sum of $3.50, 900 woulo
fairly compensate Mr.. Boyle fol
his interest in these cases.
"Since May, 1949, I have paic
Mr.. Boyle approximately $99. 900
which represents term payments
on account of the indebtedness
Of $150,000. About $4,000 is still
due on this account. American
Lithofold was not included in this
agreement"
Mr.. Siskind explained later that
payments to Mr.. Boyle since 1916
have been over $4,000 and might
approximate $4,000.
Mr.. Siskind said he has not
taken part in any of Lithofold's
dealings with the RFC and never
assisted the company in any way
in getting, maintaining or in.
|creasing Government business.
Testimony of Mr.. Siskind and
Mr.. Boyle will wind up the cur
rent phase of the Lithofold in
quiry. But. ss a result Of addi-
tional disclosures yesterday that
several present or recently re-
signed Government employees took
payments from the company. the
subcommittee may greatly broaden
its investigation.
Testimony involving several In
ternal Revenue Bureau officials
prompted Senator Mccarthy tc
exclaim to witnesses:
IF it is true that other tax off,
cials did what you did. we are
running into a scandal that will
make Teapot Dome look like a
cup of tea."
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Arkansas, another member, told
reporters later that the evidence
of outside payments and gifts to
Government employees was "rath-
er frightening" 1t indicates an
alarming deterioration in ethical
standards" he said.
Mr.. Boyle said he stands ready
to answer any and all questions
about his association with the St.
Louis printing concern in 1949
and to deny he helped the COM
pany get $685. 900 in Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. loans that
year.
He also indicated he will de-
clare he had no connection, direct
or indirect. with the concern since
he ended his private law practice
on becoming paid official of the
Ns stional Committee. !.
Mr.. Boyle announced he win
come armed with prepared
statement to begin tomorrowis
session. Following an hour -and-
a-half conference with President
Truman late yesterday, Mr.. Boyle
said he and the President did not
discuss the Senate subcommittee
investigation.
The affable, heavy-set lawyer
laughed when asked if he would
be accompanied by an attorney at
tomorrow's hearing. He said he
would face the session alone. Mr..
Siskind's attorney, William D.
Leahy, conferred with the sub
committee in closed session last
Monday concerning procedure to
be followed today.
Next week, if possible, the sub
committee will hear Republican
National Chairman Guy Gabriel
son about his connection with
Carthage Hydrocol. Inc, which
obtained $18.5 million In loans
from RFC.
RFC late yesterday turned down
a request of that company for an
extension, until October l, 1852,
