some character discolorations
which are not Smears. They may
be the outward evidence Of inner
corruption. Lady Macbeth found
this out when she was Smeared
with the blood of Duncan and
cried out, all the perfumes Of
Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand
THE Senator has quite EVIL
IDENTIFY placed himself in the con-
tempt Of his peers and will so
remain until he dry-cleans his
.smearS. He should be given a
reasonable length of time to
purge himself by this means be-
fore the Senate takes further
action.
Submits Motion.
ITO indicate what the action
should be. I am sending to the
desk at this time a motion which
will ask the clerk to read. dis
tinctly with q loud voice that the
: people may hear as the minister
is admonished to read in the
ancient English Prayer Book.
Senator Flanders then gave
the text of his motion as fol-
lows:
1T is moved that Senator Nc
Carthy be separated from the
Craftsmanship of the Senate Com
mittee on Government Opera
.tions and furthermore be pro-
hibited from being chairman or
vice chairman of any subcom-
mittee thereof"
1T is intended that this mo-
ton lie on the desk until suf-
flcient time has been given for
the Senator to purge himself of
contempt by answering specifl-
cally and in detail the charges
in the numerous questions which
! have read"
The scene at the hearings this
morning, when Senator Flanders
confronted Senator Mccarthy,
was as dramatic as his attack on
the Wisconsin legislator. The
note he handed Senator McCar-
thy read:
This is to inform you that I
plan to make another speech
concerning your activities in the
Senate this afternoon as soon
after the noon hour as I can get
the floor. If you so desire, ]
will be glad to have you pres
ent."
AS the 75-year-old Vermonter
walked away, Senator Mccarthy
shouted:
IF you have nothing but the
usual SmearS from the smear
sheets to tell us I'm not inter-
ested. But if you have some in
formation I think you should
come here, raise your right hand
and tell it under oath rather
than on the Senate floor"
Mundt Asks Retirement.
Chairman Mundt spoke up and
asked Senator Flanders to re
tire to the rear of the room
where the other spectators are
we can't have this sort of shoot
ing going on" He referred to
the feud between the two Sen
atorS.
II have no feud with Mr.. Elan
derS." Senator Mccarthy as
serted. II do not think this sort
of thing comes from viciousness
but rather from senility."
In speech last week, Sena-
tor Flanders bitterly assailed
Senator Mccarthy and his COM
mittee aides.
He said the Investigations
subcommittee had never gotten
to the heart of the matter in
the hearing or discovered the
motives that guided Senator
Mccarthy, Roy M. Cohn, COM
mittee counsel, or Pvt. G. David
Schine. former committee con-
sultant.
Senator FLINDERS said the
committee should find out what
hold Pvt. Schine has over Sen
ator Mccarthy and Mr.. Cohn.
He said the committee should
investigate relations between
Mr.. Cohn and Pvt. Schine.
Reads From Report.
Senator Flanders. in his
speech against Senator Nc
earthly, was referring to the
questions which were asked by
the Privileges and Elections SUBJ
committee in a report which il
prepared late in 1852. Control
of Congress changed soon after

made and no action by the entire
Senate Rules Committee was
taken. Senator Flanders read
