The listener was not an old &C.
quaintance; in fact, he had never
met Mccarthy before those three
minutes began.
1t also is McCarthy's habit to &C.
cuSe his enemies of the most out
rageous moral deviations, even
when it is obvious that there would
be no way for him to have first
hand knowledge Of the facts. Nor
does he indicate the slightest sur
prise or even disappointment on
those occasions when he is not
believed.
A thoroughgoing extrovert and
egotist, Mccarthy is frankly miffed
at the Benton charges-but not for
the reason one might expect. He
does not seem to object to being
labeled unfit to associate with civ
ilized people. But he purports to
regard Benton as beneath con-
tempt.
If you had Sparkman or Hill or
Dick Russell or Kefauver against
you, that would be something" he
explains. But when you fight
against a - like Benton, you

assault and won back the lost
ground.
In the torn and burning debris
of the battle they found eight of
their men dead, arms bound behind
them and bullet holes in the back
of each head. So violent was their
rage that the South Korean troops
took pliers and pulled every finger
nail from the hands of captured
Red.
An American unit-even if it has
had heavy losses and is understand
ably bitter--does not treat captives
that way. A prisoner of war is more
an object of curiosity than of hatred
to the front-line troops. But rarely
do these fighting troops abuse POWs,
even less do they coddle them. One
indulgence would be considered as
heinous as the other.
One solution to the problem of
Koje. therefore, might be to install
larger percentage of guards who
have had combat experience in the
see-sawing battle along the 18th
Parallel. This has already been done
at the top with the placing in COM
mand of tough Gen. Buster Boatner,
fresh from the I'd Infantry Divi-
sion's front.
The basic principle would seem to
be to treat the prisoners as fairly
as they are entitled to be treated
under the Geneva pact-but not one
bit.Soetter than that.

By Jerry O'Leory, Jr.

Soners, taken in a fight south of
Chunchon a week before, spent most
OF their time bowling from the waist
and grinning toothy grins in an
obvious effort to placate the captors.
Perhaps the fact that liz Chinese
lay dead in a gully less than 100
yards away had temporizing effect
on these prisoners.
In more than nine months in
Korea with the 1st Marine Division,
I never saw a Chinese or
Korean-who would not chatter like
a maybe to interrogators, whether
he had any worthwhile information
or not. The prisoners whole urge
was to placate. They had no fight
left in them. Two or three guards,
either American or Korean, handled
several score of them with consider
able contempt and no trouble what
ever.
Metomorphosis
Now, what happens to these pris-
oners after they get to Koje?
Certain obvious questions arise in
this connection: Are the POWs
searched for contraband. both on
their persons and in their quarters?
Do they have enough work to keep
them out of mischief? Are they
really permitted to hold patriotic
meetings and rallies. and fly their
own flag. Is has ebeen reported from
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-05-18
Much-Needed Tough Policy Seems to Be Getting Unde

The 9th Army seems to be begin
ming get tough" policy with the
recalcitrant prisoners of Koje-do as
an aftermath of the kidnapping of
Brig. Gen. Francis Dodd. Many
Americans will wonder why it wasn't
done before.
The Geneva convention-obeyed by
the U. N. but not by the Communist
armies in Korea-does not oblige the
commanders of our prison camps on
Koje to deal as gently as they have
with the Reds. All that is required
is that the prisoners be fed as well
as they are used to or can be; that
they be paid for any work they do;
that they be considered subject to
the laws, regulations and orders in
force in the armies of the OBTAINING
power"
In other words, they are entitled
to the same treatment as is received
by GIs in durance vile for offences
against the Articles of War. All re-
ports from Koje indicate the tfeat-
ment has been much better than that.
Low to Themselves
The die-hard Communist North
Koreans of Compound rs apparently
are a law unto themselves inside
their barbed-wire kingdom, enduring
few if any inspections or searches
for weapons by the guards. They
clearly have ample leisure to plot
any outrages they may choo4e to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-05-18

perpetrate. either on their captors
or their fellows.
While the Geneva convention pro-
vides for the separation of officers
from troops in prison camps. there
has been no such separation in Koje.
This, of course. has made the plot
ting much easier.
1t is doubtful if the average Amer
lean CT. let alone the average CT
prisoner. in Korea enjoys this privacy
and license. It seems obvious that
a drastic house-cleaning is in order
for the Koje command, right down to
the last private.
Different at the Front
This reporter can write from first
hand knowledge only about the
Marines and their experiences with
the enemy at the front in Korea.
When first captured, the ordinary
Chinese or North Korean trooper
is far from troublesome. He has
been through terrifying experience
before capture. He has been wit
ness to the death of many of his
friends. He is well content to be
out of the fighting.
One Chinese prisoner saw last
May in the Hangye area of central
Korea spent his first day in Marine
hands trying to sew blue-and-white
Nationalist emblem on his cap where
a tin red star had blossomed the
night before.

A speculative CLEAN entered Nc
Carthy's eye. IF made a mistake"
he said, lit was in not taking the
Harnischfeger offer. They're still
in business and I'd have made more
money that way"
Mccarthy added that the Har-
niSchfeger company still is inter-
ested, and is trying to get the
manuscript rights from the Lustron
receivers. They'd have my serv-
ices in keeping the manuscript up
to date until the end of 1882" he
added.
AS in many cases, this story of
I McCarthyS about the pamphlet
does not jibe in all respects with
the accounts of other parties to the
proceedings. Henry Harnischfeger,
vice president of the Harnischfeger
Corp, says the company's original
offer to Mccarthy was fiat $4,000
for all rights to the manuscript,
with no royalty payments involved.
He says further that his corpora
ton has not made any overtures to
the Lustron receivers for rights to
the Mccarthy article, and is not in
terested in taking over the manu-
script at this time.
McCorthyism'
Such d1screpancies-some larger,
some Smaller-make many of Joe
McCarthy'S statements difficult to
evaluate. 1t is this kind of thing,
applied to the field of political ideo-
logy, which his critics call INC
Carthyism."
To this epithet, Mccarthy takes
no particular umbrage. I'm my
State" he says, "McCarthyism
means fighting communism. Peo-
pie write in all the time saying
they wish there was more Nc
CarthyiSm."
In discussing himself, Mccarthy
frequently lapses into use of the
third person. 1t is difficult for
him to talk privately for many
minutes without barnyard language
getting into the conversation. One
listener clicked him at four un-
printables in just three minutes.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-05-18

with watching the activities of RFC.
No one disputes these facts. Nor
does any one deny that Mccarthy
sold 36-page manuscript to Lus-
iron for $4,000. There has been,
to be sure, some argument over
whether the Subject-matter had an
intrinsic value of about Is cents a
word. But this obviously is beside
the point.
What is germane to the inquiry is
this: Did Lustron buy the manu-,
script because the combinat ton Of
words plus by-line added up to $10,-s
900 worth of promotional literature?
Or did Mccarthy sandbag the cor
poration into paying fat price for
thin piece of writing? No posi-
tive answer to this question was ad-
duced by last weeks testimony.
Other Coses 81
Actually, of course, the meat Of
the charges against Mccarthy lie
in quite another field. Case No. /,
which the committee skipped over,
had to do with mis- famous 1905
Communists in the State Depart
ment." The other cases are these:
No. 3. McCarthy's "hoaxing" of
the Senate with the charge that
Gen. Marshall was party to a con-
spiracy and IAN infamy so black
as to dwarf any previous such
venture"
No. 4. McCarthy's statement
that Senator Tydings of Maryland
had forced him to make public
the names of officials whom Nc
Carthy had charged with cbmmu-
niSm.
No. S. McCarthy's part in the
dirty senatorial campaign in Mary
land which defeated Tydings.
Mccarthy accused Tydings of hav-
ing shielded Communists in the
Government. This, according to
Senator Benton, was the straw
that broke the camel's back and
caused him to file the charges.
No. 6. McCarthy's offers to re-
peat his statements about admin
istration Communists" in stu
alton where he was without sena-
torial immunity, and his subse-
quent reputation of those offers.
No. Z. McCarthy's asserted pos
session of an FBI chart which he
said, and FBI Chief J. Edgar
Hoover denied, had been sent to
the State Department.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-05-18

No. 8. McCarthy's promise to list
the names of 81 State Department
CommunistS-"a promise on which
he was forced to renege."
No. 9. McCarthy's allegedly false
statements about the Malmedy
massacre of American soldiers by
Germans during the Battle OF the
Bulge.
No. 10. McCarthy's continued
employment of "a man described
by Senate committee as mis-
administrative assistant who, while
in his employ, is charged with
committing perjury as well as
with other serious misdeeds."
When Benton issued these charges
last year, and when he testified on
them, he enjoyed the same immu-
nifty that had shielded McCarthys
extravagances. At McCarthy's chal-
lenge, however, Benton waived his
immunity. Mccarthy thereupon
slapped him with a So million suit
for libel, SANDER and conspiracy
court action which is likely to add
its own bit of excitement to the
political season.
Last week, however, it was Sena-
tor Bentons second charge which
occupied the spotlight.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-05-18

ample his senatorial campaign IN
Wisconsin in 1916, when he I'M
seated Bob La Toilette in the pri-
mary and went on to victory in
November. A circuit judge, Nc
Carthy did not bother to resign
from the bench before engaging in
the campaign. This incongruouS
mixing of partisan politics with
judicial impartiality. eventually
drew the Wisconsin bars official
censure. Mccarthy thought Moth
ing of it.
In financial matters also, his
foes assert, Mccarthy is less than
a paragon of virtue. They cite the
$4,000 Lustron deal, of course, and
the fact that he has had numerous
income tax troubles. His heavy
borrowings over period of years
also have brought some criticism
but, as Mccarthy says, sits none

To all aspersions, in fact, Joe
Mccarthy reacts with a mighty
shrug. In his office, along with his
framed copies of Americanism
awards and plaques from veterans
organizations, he mas a large sign
which quotes Abraham Lincoln as
follows:

less answer, all the attacks made

very best can; and I mean to keep
doing so until the end. If the end
brings me out all right what is said
against me won't amount to any
thing. If the end brings me out
wrong, 10 angels swearing I was
right would make no difference"
The Unworried Proemotist
To this extent, anyway, Joe Nc
Carthy is Lincolnesque. In other
respects, there can be little doubt
that the Wisconsin Senator is a
pragmatist, little worried about
the finer moralities of a situation.
While the Lustron deal hearings
were under way, he was asked
whether he thought the manuscript
sale was a mistake, whether he
would make such an arrangement
if he had to do it over again.
1.-TWO outfits wanted that article"
Mccarthy replied. Zone was Harm

Koje? And what was Gen. Dodd
doing in the entrance of their COM
pound without enough guards there
to protect him from presumably I'M
armed prisoners?
It does not appear that brutality
would be necessary to keep these
prisoners from rioting, committing
murder among themselves-or. in
deed. kidnapping American generals
and lieutenant colonies seemingly at
will.
It does appear that strict APP
plication of the rules governing pris-
oners of war might keep the minority
of trouble-makers in check.
Oriental Psychology
It is important for us to realize
that the Oriental attitude toward
prisoners of war is often quite diff
ferent from ours. This difference
can be illustrated by an incident
which occurred last summer. during
the fighting on the eastern front
north of Inje. ~.

a Korean Marine regiment attached.
was opposing strong North Korean

The Hunted

If the current hearings ever drive
Joe Mccarthy to the point where he
goes through the ceiling of his Sem
ate Office, he will end up directly
under the desk of Bill Benton. The
two antagonists are separated in
the Senate Office Building by a
single slab of masonry. The slab
serves Mccarthy as a ceiling and
Benton as a floor.
But to date there is no indication
that Mccarthy is likely to lose his
self-control. He is popularity as
sumed to have a low boiling point.
Actually, he has more than his
share of GOODNESS, virtue he &C
quired in the amateur fight ring,
where hothead is an early casu-
atty. On occasions when he goes
into a rage, Mccarthy usually is
bent on soaring the opposition. "A
natural-born bully" is the way one
of his critics puts it.
At AZ, Mccarthy not only looks
like a boxer; he acts like one. A
hulking man with beetling brows

The Hunter

Many earlier efforts had been
made to nail the hide of Joe Nc
Carthy to high board fence.
Shaming him had been tried often.
1t never worked. Backing him into
an unacceptable corner had seemed
like a good idea. He always man
aged to slip away. He had been
Investigated beforehand gone SCOT
free.
It fell to william Benton, Demo-
cratic junior Senator from Con-
necticut, to make the definitive
move against Mccarthy. Last year,
he filed a list of 10 charges and
demanded that the Senate GUST Nc
Carthy.
Benton, an advertising man
turned Fair Deal politician, used
both his advertising and political
knowledge to the fullest advantage
in preparing his charges. The 10
point list added up to the asser-
ton that Mccarthy was cheat,
a fraud and a liar. It accused
him of dipping the public, of hoax
ing the Senate, of enriching him.
self through his official position.
The bulk Of the charges boiled
down to the allegation that he
had stopped at nothing to dis
credit the Government of the
United States.
To Mccarthy, it was just another
Communist-engineered plot to put
the Kremlin'S greatest enemy out
of the way. Others saw the custer
move as an attempt by the admin
istration to shake Mccarthy off
its back. Still others interpreted
Benton's move as an honest effort
to rid the senatorial barrel of a
bad apple. And to dyed-in-t
wool Mccarthy haters, it seemed
a heaven-sent opportunity to fin
ish this character off, once and
for all.
Cose No. z
When the hearings got under way
last week, the subcommittee began
its inquiry with the second point of
Benton's indictment" This Case
No. 2 dealt with the Lustron Corp.
and a housing manuscript written
by Mccarthy. According to Ben
ton, it Illuminated the lack of
character, ethical standards and
integrity of Senator Mccarthy"
At the time of the Lustron deal,
late in 1913, that Ohio corporation
was struggling to get into produc-
ton and to find a market for pre-
fabricated homes. LuStron was do
ing business with the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation-it took
over $35 million in RFC money
before going broke. Mccarthy was
the vice chairman of a Senate
Housing subcommittee. He also was
q member of the Banking and Cur
reYcy Committee, which is charged
