Full Investigation
OF Charges Against
Mccarthy Ordered

A Senate rules subcommittee
today directed it's staff to launch
"a thorough investiga ton into
charges leveled by Senator Benton
Democrat. Of Connecticut, in his
fight to have Senator Mccarthy
Republican, of Wisconsin expelled
from the Senate.
/ Chairman Gillette told reporters
the subcommittee would meet
November l to consider the staff
report and then would decide
what. if any. further action on the
Benton custer resolution would be
taken.
At the same time, the chairman
said that the subcommittee took
no action on request made to-
day by Senator Benton that the
scope Of the inquiry be broadened
to take in the activities of Sena-
tor Mccarthy prior to his election
to the Senate in 1946.
Vote Unanimous.
The subcommittee agreed 1t
would consider a broader investi-
Igation only after getting the staff
report. .. e.
In a brief interview, Senator
Gillette made this statement:
The subcommittee unanimously
voted to instruct the staff to
take Benton's 10 charges and
make their own study and in
vestigation of the allegations and
report the findings of fact by no
later than November /. Then
we'll determine where to go from
there"
Mccarthy Won't Testify.
Senator Mccarthy has rejected
an invitation by the subcommittee
to testify. In letter to Chair
man Gillette, he said he would
have nothing to do with "Benton's s
smear attack" and added that
"the Benton type of material can
be found in the Daily Worker"
almost every day.
Meanwhile. the subcommittee
decided to delay until the No
vember / meeting q decision on
whether to hold hearings on the
conduct Of last years senatorial

gators have been making q State

TRANSFERS-As reported here
yesterday. the Civil Service Com
mission has taken under serious
consideration the advisability of
Iputting brake on transfers
among Government employees.
A top commission official said
such curb on job jumping is al
most inevitable. The main restric-
tions will be aimed at defense
employees who want to transfer to
non-defense bureaus. The COM
mission is still undecided as to
what kind of 6.>fense restrictions,
If any, should be placed on De-
tense Agency employees who trans
fer from one defense unit to
another, or on non-defense work.
lers who want to go to the De-
lfense Department.
l. One factor is the expressed de-
sire Of Congress that everything
possible be done to encourage
|non-defense agency employees to
transfer to the Defense Depart
ment. This would seem to pre-
clude an all-out curb on non-de-
fense employees transferring to de-
Ifense bureaus.

THEY were greeted by an unsmil-

here on the porch?"
"Oh, outside, please" answered
Amy warmly. "It's much too nice

to chatter Of the weather and the

in the shade. Then she turned to the

Her enthusion apparently was
not transmitted by her speech. In
fact, Amy had the peculiar sensa-

committed grave social error.

polite and turned away but Amy
was not to be denied. I'm Amy

her place.

in a whisper, where do you sup
pose they feed folks, Laura? I don't

Laura answered quietly, Don't

they passed the open door.
