He'll 5hun Mccarthy,
Pledges Full Support
By the Associated Press

Senator Richard M. Nixon Of
California made it clear today he
will support Senator Joseph Nc
Carthy of Wisconsin for re-elec-
ton, if Senator Mccarthy is re-
nominated and asks such backing.
Senator Nixon, the Republican
vice presidential nominee. replied
to published reports that he would
shun Senator Mccarthy with
statement issued through his Of
flee. It said:
"I am going to assist in the
election of Republican members
of the House and Senate wherever
the opportunity presents. When
the voters pick a nominee, I will
accept the decision and abide by
1t in any State"
Clearly Applies to Mccarthy.
Aides made it clear this applies
to Senator Mccarthy. They said,
however, that any endorsement
Senator Nixon gives would not
necessarily mean he shares all of
Senator McCarthy's vNws.
Senator Nixon's statement came
after Senator A. S. (Mike) Mon
roney. Democrat, of Oklahoma,
called "incl edible" an assertion by
Senator Karl Mundt of South Da-
kota, that Gen Dwight D. Eisen-
hover the G. o. P. presidential
nominee, will support Senator Nc
Cartfy's bid for reelection.
Senator MundS is co-chairman
Of the Republican campaign
speakers bureau. Senator Mon
roney is chairman Of the Demo-
cratic speakers bureau.
Senator Mundt said N a radio
program (MBS' last night that
Gen. Eisenhower will Endorse and
campaign actively for Senator
Mccarthy, whose Connmunists-in-
Government charges have stirred
up a political storm.
Differs With "Times" Story.
Senator Nixon's associates en-
phasized the vice presidential can
didate will not take any Part in
party primaries, reserving his in
dorSement for candidates who
have been nominated and who
then ask his backing.
Senator Nixon has no Wiscon-
sin appearance scheduled before
the States September 9 primary
but expects to speak there later.
Senator Nixon's statement was
issued after the New York Times
had said the G. o. P. vice presi-
dental nominee will not indorse
Senator Mccarthy when he speaks
in Wisconsin during the campaign.
The Times Dispatch, by Will
liam S. White, had said that on
the contrary, Senator Nixon would
inferentially attack Senator Nc
Carthy.
Aid to KEN, Jenner.
On the radio program, Senator
Mundt also said that Gen. Eisen-
hover will also campaign for SEN
ators KEN of Missouri. Jenner Of
Indiana and Bricker Of Ohio, Re-
publicans who have not shared
Gen. Eisenhower's foreign policy
views.
Senator Monroney said he finds
1t impossible to believe that Gen.
Eisenhower would appear on the
same platform with Senator Nc
Carthy because of the latter's at
tacks on Gen. George c. Marshall,
who helped Gen. Eisenhower at
tain his five-Star generals rank.
Cites "Infamy" Charge.
The Oklahoma Senator noted
that in Senate speech Senator
Mccarthy had accused Gen. Mar
shall of participating in "a con-
spiracy of infamy so black that
when it is finally exposed, it's prin-
cipals shall be forever deserving of
the maledictions of all honest
men"
Either Senator Mundt hasn't
read this scurrilous attack on Gen.
EisenhoWer's friend and sponsor
or he fails to grant to his candi-
date any of the human loyalties
OF a friend for a friend" Senator
Monroney said.
