The United States military
mission in Spain has been told
To sign no agreement governing
American marriages there until

The instructions were con-
tanned in two messages addressed
to Maj. Gen. August w. Kissner.
chief of the mission in Madrid.
The mission Is negotiating ad-
miniStrative agreements with
Spain to cover the anticipated
arrival there Of hundreds of
American airmen and seamen
who win man new United States
bases under construction in that
country.
Gen. Kissner was instructed to
send to Washington Immediately
all the latest drafts of the work
ing understandings with Spain.
He was told to forward such
documents through the Ameri-
can Embassy In Madrid and the
State Department.
Gen. Kissner yesterday in
formed the Air Force that he
had signed no agreement. The
new Pentagon message reminded
him that his superiors in Wash
ington must first approve any
thing relating to the conduct or
activities of American service
men. ..f,, @

Signers Of Petitions
Opposing Censure
Estimated al Million
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Organ-
izers of a petition opposing
censure of Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin. esti-
mated today a million or more
signatures had been received at
their headquarters here.
Retired Rear Admiral John
Crommelin, head of a commit
tee seeking 10 million names,
said various large cartons in his
Hotel Roosevelt ofiice were filled
with signed but uncounted petit
tions.
He estimated 10000 or more
signed petitions had been re-
ceived, each with space for so
signatures, and that this would
indicate more than a million
signers.
"That might be optimistic or
it might be conservative" he
said.
He said, however. the COM
mittee's work has been de-
centralized with branch Offices
opening across the country and
that there was no way of know
ing yet the overall total Of

McC Corthy Career Punctuoted
By Long Series OF Illnesses

l1eWSmen that he had visited the
sick man Wednesday night and
found him very seriously ILL"
Edward B. Williams, Senator
McCarthy's attorney reported:
i tried to see him this morn
ing and he was too sick for visi-
tors"
Senator Bridges, Republican
Of New Hampshire, another
close friend. told fellow Sena-
tors: "FIe is suffering from blood
poisoning throughout his system;
he's very sick"
Official Report Issued.
Reporters checked with an Of
ficer Of the executive department
in q position to demand an ac-
curate report from the Bethesda
naval doctors. His report was:
Senator McC Carthy has had no
fever at any time; he has a
slight elbow cut. a slight elbow
bruise, and nothing else"
Then came the official report
from DR.. George w. Calver, the
congressional physician, on
which the recess was based. It
broke into two parts: what DR..
Calver knew from his own medi-
cal check and what was told him
by an unidentified Bethesda as
sistant surgeon.
On his own, DR.. Calver said
Senator Mccarthy had "a lac
Grafton of the skin and soft
tissue about the right elbow with
considerable swelling and some
pain about the joint and run
ming down into the fingers" He
added that X-rays had showed
no fracture but "some roughness
OF the periosteum (the tissue
covering the bone) which could
possibly be due to infection" |"
From a telephone interview
with the Navy doctor, DR.. Calver
added the relayed opinion that
Senator Mccarthy has "a trau-
matte bursitis" which will re-
quire disqualification till Novem-
Der 20. The Navy man told him,
DR.. Calver said, that "if this
schedule is not followed, perma-
nent injury might result"
Series Of Illnesses Noted.
Cynics among Met Carthy critics
pointed out facts of other Nc
Carthy illnesses that were, per-
haps coincidentally, convenient
politically.
During the Tydings committee
uproar of April, 1850. when an
outcry was general for his fur
ther substantiation Of State De-
partment Communist charges,
the Wisconsin Senator Cancelled
a speaking program because Of
a sinus attack.
His July, 1852, operation came
just when Taft men, who wanted
his support, did not want him at
the Republican National Con-
vention.
In August, 1852, just before
his own election, he re-entered
Bethesda for a 'checkup" and a
series Of big-name Mccarthy
hackers took the Wisconsin cam
paign trail for the ailing candi-
date.

say. q. critically i'll man who

Is he master Of politically con-
venient illness2
With interest heightened by
the recess in the Senate's censure
debate until November 30 (when,
1t is hoped. he will be out of
the hospital and able to defend
himself) evidence is available
here to support either side Of
the medical debate.
For some months correspond
ents too regularly in contact
with the Senator to have noted
gradual change have been jolted
by editors queries as to: Whats
wrong with McCarthy?"
Basis of the inquiries have
been recent photographs show
ing physical changes more rapid
than would be expected in a man
who had his 45th birthday only
last Sunday. Since he came into
the Senate limelight seven years
ago. blotches have replaced color
on Senator McCarthy's face; his
sharp features have disappeared;
his eyes have lost their clearness
and his habitually rapid gait
has markedly slowed.
Really Sick, Welker Said.
For this reporter, the first tes-
timony of something possibly
seriously wrong came five weeks
ago from Senator Welker, Re-
publican, of Idaho, Senator Nc
Carthy's closest Senate support
er. He told touring political
writer's in Idaho that Joe is
really sick" and fatty predicted
that "he will not be able to take
the floor for the censure debate. I"
Senator Welker said Senator
Mccarthy was suffering from an
ailment of the esophagus and
that, at times of tension, the
tube contracted and closed. His
doctors, Senator Welker said,
feared that in some excitement
the spasm would be sufficient to
cause a collapse. Seemingly bear
ing out the Welker report is the
fact that on July "a. 1852, Sen
ator Mccarthy was operated on
ut the Bethesda Naval Hospital
for a hernia in the vicinity of
the esophagus.
Something Serious Hinted.
Further evidence of some
thing" serious in Senator Nc
Carthy's condition, and some
counter-testimony, was developed
I'M the chronology of reports by
which newsmen were told since
yesterday of Senator McCarthy's
current condition.
The first report Wednesday
afternoon from a Senator COM
mitted to compromise in the CEN
sure debate was that Senator
Mccarthy had been admitted to
Bethesda Hospital suffering
nervous prostration.p
Hospital spokesmen denied this
and said the Senator had suf-
fered an elbow injury. They said
the Senator would be out of the
hospital either Wednesday night
or Thursday.
Thursday morning there were
new reports:

Ask Road Spurs
The spOrtsmen decided to re-

mission to construct several new
road spurs leading from the Ocean
Highway to the beachfront fishing
grounds, inasmuch as four of the
original ones are now used bv the
military in connection with it's
summer firing maneuvers. This
leaves only three for use of fishing
parties north of Indian River In
let, and none between the Cullen
Bridge and Bethany Beach.
The remaining road spurs for
exclusive use of summer surf
casting fishermen, many of whom
set up overnight camps, are Tower
road, keybox Road, and Coin
Road. Coin Road marks the beach
front area where most of the Gov
eted 18th Century copper coins are
