tinuing new evidence for my origi-

retain his seat in the Senate"
Mccarthy Suing Benton.
Senator Benton, who is being
sued by Senator Mccarthy for 81
million, declared that the Wiscon-
sin Senator sis also trying to es-
tablish that presented my case
because of his self -professed cam
paign against communism.
THE fact is that only one of
the 10 case histories I cited to
show the pattern of fraud and
deceit which runs through his
Senate career-the one involving
his perjury-is significantly re-
lated to communism"
Senator Benton enumerated
these points:
l. Senator McCarthy's "lack of
integrity in taking $4,000 from
Lustron."
2. His hoax Of the Senate in
accusing Gen. Marshall of being
in a conspiracy so immense and
an infamy so black as to dwarf
any previous such venture in the
history of man."
3. His fraud and deceit" in the
Maryland election campaign of
Senator Butler, Republican.
4. His deception of the Senate
on the immunity question, his role
in the Malmedy investigation and
even such things as the kind of
people he employs"
Denies Improper Conduct.
In a letter to Senator Gillette
dated May 8, Senator Mccarthy
denied there was any improper
conduct" in selling a book to Lus-
tron while that corporation, now
defunct. had an RFC loan.
The Senator enclosed copy OF
his contract with Lustron. He said
he had worked hard to produce the
book on housing and to keep it up
to date for the benefit of veterans
trying to acquire their own homes
Senator Mccarthy pointed out
out that Lustron received $4,000
for the sale of this book with an
advertising pamphlet''-apparent-

Moscow 10 Help End
Deadlock in Korea
By John N. Hiehtower
Assoeioted Press Stoff Writer

United States officials are con-
sidering making an appeal to
Moscow to help bring about a
successful conclusion of the dead
locked Korean truce negotiations.
The step. if taken, probably
would be the first big diplomatic
move assigned to the new Ameri-
can Ambassador to the Soviet
Union, George F. Kennan, since
he arrived in Moscow.
The truce negotiations have
been tied up for many weeks over
the question of whether prisoners
of war should be forcibly re-
patriated.
The United Nations command
has told the Reds it will not COM
pei prisoners to go home. OF a
total of 10000 military and civil
ian prisoners held by United Ma
tions forces, 100000 have declared
they would resist repatriation.
Whether Moscow could exercise
"a decisive influence in getting the
Chinese and North Korean COM
mands to accept the U. N. decision
about repatriation is an open
question. but some responsible
authorities here feel an effort is
worth making in that direction.
The assumption among officials
here is that major Communist
policy decisions for the truce ne
Igotiations are at least checked
with Moscow and possibly are
made there.
American officials find two
slight grounds for encouragement
in the present situation. One is
that despite the tough attitude
Iof the U. N. negotiators the Com
munists have wanted to avoid
complete suspension Of the truce
talks. The other is that they have
not so far launched major prop
Iaganda campaign against the
United Nations proposal SUBJ
mitted on April %.

than the 1000 figures they had
turned over in December.
This amount fell about $4,000
short of what the Communists
were believed to hold. counting
all U. N. and South Korean pris-
oners.
Fate Hangs on One Question.
The North Korean prisoners of
war and the Chinese were all asked
one opening question during the
screening.
would you forcibly resist re-
tpatriation to Communist control?"
This question was put to each
of the Allied-held prisoners.
The question was asked by ITO
American officers who spoke Chi
nese and about 80 Korean en-
ployes of the United States Army.
Maj. Gen. Bryan I. Milburn,
Gen. Ridgway's personnel officer,
was in charge of the interviews.
If man gave a negative answer
to the first question, the interview
was over, Gen. Milburn said. No
more questions were asked.
If he said he would resist repa-
triation, he was asked six more
questions. all intended to persuade
him to go home.
The result was as big surprise
to the United Nations command as
it was to the Communists.
Only 5.100 of about 10000 Chi
nese soldiers said they would re-
turn and only $1,000 of 10000 Ko-
rean soldiers said they would
have any more to do with COM
munisrn. Another 1000 civilians
asked to go home making the total
10000.
The remainder said they would
kill themselves first:
So now the United Nations has
placed their 10000 figure on a
take it or leave it basis. First re-
ports indicate this stand is being
supported Fundamentally by the
lrest of the free world.

reservations about the prospects
of a Korean truce at a final news
conference.
Mrs. Ridgway accompanied the
general for luncheon with En-
peror Hirohito and the Empress
Never before in history have
the responsibilities of an armed
force been heavier or more

troops. "Never before have these
responsibilities been more fully OF

He declined to predict at the
news conference whether a Ko-

only IL minutes. Eleven minutes
were taken up by debate on the

The delegates agreed only to
meet again today.
There was no sign Of a break

North Korean Gen. Nam II, chief

Mccarthy Denounces
Senate Group on Eve
OF Custer Hearings
By W. H. Shippen

Senator Mccarthy released a
blast at the powerful Senate Rules
Committee yesterday on the eve of
public hearings on motion to oust
him from the Senate.
The Wisconsin Republican &C
cused the committee of dishonest
evasion" for withholding action on
his resolution to investigate Sem
ator Benton, Democrat, of Con-
necticut, while subcommittee
goes ahead with plans to air Sem
Iator Benton's charges against him.
Senator Mccarthy gave report
ers copies of an exchange of let
ters with Senator Gillette, Demo-
crat of Iowa. Senator Gillette is
chairman of the Privileges and
Elections subcommittee which will
hold the hearings, opening to-
morrow.
Charges Dishonest Evasion.
"You and Benton are members
of the Rules Committee" Senator
Mccarthy wrote to Senator Gill
lette on May 7, land as you well
know, the Democrats have the
majority of the votes on that COM
mittee and can stall the Benton
case indefinitely without referring
it to your subcommittee.
II am sure you will agree that
this is most dishonest evasion
of a promise made to and relied
upon by the Senate"
Senator Mccarthy added that
the American people will get the
idea 'your subcommittee is being
dishonesty used as an arm of the
Democratic National Committee. ;
A letter of the same date from
Senator Gillette, which apparently
passed the Mccarthy letter in the
mails, notified Senator Mccarthy
of the hearing, and invited him to
appear at time most convenient
to you.'

Constantine Brown:

There was no national holi-
day bell-ringing or f1ag-f1ying in
Western Germany on the occa-
sion of the signing of the peace
contract with the Western ma
tions which gives the republic
an almost" completely sover-
eign status.
The so million Germans who
live within gunshot of the So
viet-occupied areas received the
news alphabetically, while most
of the politicians were in a
surly mood. Judging from the
editorials in German news
papers, including the always
pro-Allied journals in West Ber-
lin, the feeling is that the Bonn
regime has accepted new bur-
dens without obtaining the two
most cherished German wishes:
Unity and freedom from fear"
The Kremlin shadow hangs just
as heavily over Germany as 1t
does over Japan.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
decided to enter the coalition
of the Western free nations at
the risk of his popularity and
prestige at home because he
hopes for the best. He realizes
that 1t will take time before
Germany's western neighbor,
France. will agree to extend a
friendly hand unreservedly. But
having to choose between the
tempting propositions from
MoscoW-which he knows are
not sincere-and a limited
sovereignty along with the
friendship of the Western ma
tions, he chose the latter. He
hopes that Germany's new
friends soon will prove to his
Skeptical electorate that he has
not backed the wrong horse.
In the meantime. however, in
f1uential Senators in Washing
ton who believed only last week
that the ratification of the
peace contract would be a mere
formality are now wondering
what new commitments the ad-
ministration made to placate
the French and induce them to
withdraw the objections to the
signing of the peace contract
which they sprang at the
eleventh hour.
Extensive questioning of Sec
retary Acheson at hearings are
now unavoidable. President
Truman is expected to send the
Senate message asking for the
ratification of the full "pack-
age" which will consist of two
items: The peace contract and
the extension of the military re-
sponsibility of the NATO to
Germany. It is the latter which
will cause a good deal Of ques-
