Mccarthy Again Blasts
Pearson in Code Case
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin took the floor of the
Senate again yesterday to con-
tinue his feud with Columnist
Drew Pearson.
The Senator renewed his charges
that Mr.. Pearson printed a de-
coded message from Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters which was
stamped with a red ink warning
that it contained information af-
fecting national security. Sen
ator Mccarthy gave a date he said
the message bore when it was re-
ceived at the Pentagon.
Mr.. Pearson, reached at his
home, retorted that by disclosing
the date Senator Mccarthy had
done what he accuses Mr.. Pearson
of doing. He said the date gives
the Russians a chance to decipher
our code.
"It is impossible" he added. "to
break down code unless the other
side knows a date. This I naver
gave"
Senator Mccarthy told the Sem
ate Army Secretary Pace is con-
Quoting IAN honest and intelligent
investigation" into how Mr.. Pear
son obtained the material he
printed.
Mr.. Pace said previously that
Mr.. Pearson's December 80 column
did not endanger code security.

Rochester IN. " Democrat and
Chronicle, is general chairman.
Sharp rationing of newsprint

period yesterday. In addition, the
group foresaw the influx of women
into the advertising field again as
more men leave for the services.
Earl Goodwin, radio commenta-
tor, told the gathering there
should be more emphasis on the
ability of the United States to win
a war with Russia, If 1t should
come, and less on our weaknesses
in case of conflict.
Something should be done to
stop the yammering and defeatist
attitude of many American peo-
ple," Mr.. Goodwin declared.
Mr.. Goodwin asserted that drop
ping an atom bomb in Russia
would be very difficult and have
little effect on the final outcome
of a war.

Better Facilities Urged
For Needy Children

A movement to improve facIi-
ties for underpriyileged children
was begun by the Shipley Terrace
Citizens Association last night.
The association voted to urge
the acquisition of modern facili-
ties and will seek the support OF
other citizens associations and
civic groups.
According to Edward e. O'Neil,
former president of the Society of
Sponsors, who addressed the Ship
ley Terrace group. the children are
placed in industrial schools, where
they are in contact with juvenile
delinquents.
Most people," he said. would
be prejudiced against youths with
a background, however slight, of
an industrial home"
The District government, he
emphasized, is not to blame, since
1t lacks necessary funds. "And If
it calls for. more money, Congress
is likely to get mad and cut appro-
priations instead of increasing
them" he said.
mo government" he charged,
"has less rights than the District
Government everybody steps
on It,"
In other business, the group
voted to ask School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning to make Anacostia

night classes.

Bridges Raps Deceit
In Budget Which He
Says Invites Disaster

Senator Bridges, Republican, OF
New Hampshire today described
president Truman's $71 1884, ,000,-
600 budget as ian invitation tc
disaster and charged the White
House had practiced outright de-
ceit" in claiming non-defense
spending had been cut.
Senator Bridges, ranking Re-
publican member 'of the Senate
Appropriations Committee. de-
manded the White House recall it
IF Stain himself were given
the opportunity to weaken Amer
lea from Within" the New Hamp-
ehire Senator said. "he could
scarcely produce plan better cal
culated to destroy this Govern
ment. We are being asked, literal
", to spend ourselves to ruin"
Money-Saving Ways Sought.
Other developments, meanwhile.
bearing on the budget and tax
picture included:
/. The Senate House Economy
Committee asked Budget Director
Frederick j Lawton to recommend
changes in the laws that Congress
could make to save money in the
non-defense field.
2. Senator Frear, Democrat, of
Delaware said in a statement that
If Government revenue is used for
any unnecessary purpose there
will be quick and bitter resent
ment" on the part of the people.
3. Representative Mills, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas, a member of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, said he will revive his
drive to levy 10 per cent with
holding tax on corporation divi-
dends as one step toward raising
$16.5 billion in new taxes to help
balance the Federal budget.
Balance Is Challenged.
Senator Bridges contended that
even with $16.5 billion in new
taxes the budget submitted by the
President can't be balanced. He
said the estimates for the fiscal
year beginning July ! actually
request authority to spend $94.5
billion and another 81 billion to
liquidate old bills"
BY next June 80. he added, the
Government may owe SIS billion
in unpaid bills not figured in the
public debt, and, he emphasized,
it Cannot run a gigantic check
kite indefinitely"
Senator Bridges declared there
is obvious fraud" in the Presi-

items were reduced from last

Libel Case Jury Clears
Pearson in Howser''s
Suit for S35O,OO0

A District Court jury last night
cleared Columnist Drew Pearson
of libel charges brought against
him by the former Attorney Gen.
eral of California in a $3.50 900
damage suit. =
After nearly five hours of de-
liberation. the panel not only
ruled that Mr.. Pearson spoke the
truth when, in a 1948 radio broad
cast, he accused Fred N. Howser
of accepting $1,000 bribe from
a gambler, but that the columnist
made the statement without ma
lice.
AS a result. the three men and
nine women jurors further found
that Mr.. Howser suffered no
damages whatever from the broad
cast beamed to 10 Western
States.
Answer Each Question.
The findings were made as an
sWers to five questions submitted
to the jurors by Judge Alexande.
Holtzoff as he turned the case
over to them
Actually they needed only to
answer affirmatively the first
question, on the truth issue, and
the remainder could have gone by
the board. They chose instead to
60 down the line and answer all
questions covering the, issues OF
malice, "wanton, reckless and will
full disregard" of Mr.. Howser's
rights and. specific damages.
Pearson Is Jubilant.
Mr.. Pearson, greeted jubilantly
with a kiss from his wife and
daughter after the verdict, said
he felt "vindicated and delighted"
II also think this is decision
for freedom Of the press" he
added.
The case was won by Attorney
William p. Rogers. who en-
phasized throughout the six-day
trial that Mr.. Pearson at no time
bore Mr.. Howser malice and still
believes the truth of his bribe
statement.

Board on Subversives
Weighs Challenge by
Communist Party
By Robert K. Welsh

Ine SupverSlve Activities Con-
troll Board wrestled today with
the problem of its own existence
and tried to decide whether it
should or could dismiss Justice
Department move against the
Communist Party.
The five-member board, ap-
pointed last October, still uncon-
f1rmed by the Senate. and unpaid
since December 81, ended an all
day hearing yesterday by taking
under advisement a Communist
Party motion to drop or at least
postpone action under the In
ternal Security Act.
Justice Department Attorneys
William A. Paisley and Irving S.
Shapiro tangled with Communist
Party Attorneys Vito Marcan-
tonic and John J. Abt on whether
the board is sitting legally and
whether the law passed last Sep
tember is constitutional.
Court Move Rejected.
The government lawyers re-
fused to go along with the sug-
gestion Of the party lawyers that
the basic issues be sent imme-
diately to the courts. They con-
tended that the law requires the
board to hold hearings to deter
mine whether-as Attorney Gen.
eral McGrath's petition contends
1.-The Communist Party and its
members must register as a Com
uaunist-action group.
Mr.. Marcantonio, former Rep
resentative from New York, and
Mr.. Abt, fotmer Horticulture De-
partment attorney, declared time
would be sayed and the national
security best served by a court
determination that might avoid
lengthy board hearings.
Appeal Notice Given.
They served notice that if the
board rules against them on the
dismissal motion they will go into
court at once here. They indi-
Gated that their first move in
court would be to ask whether the
board was appointed legally last
fall and functions legally today.
They also plan to ask for 4
judgment on validity Of the re-
quirement for registration Of
Communication and Commu-
nist-front organizations. Such
moves. they said. would be tied
in with request that the court
forbid board hearings or other
actions until those issues are de-
cided.
