sellini, from these shores. His real
service to the country, however. has
been as chairman. and now ranking
Democrat, on the Commerce Com
mittee.
Q Frank Carlson, Kansas Repub-
lican, is a f1rst-termer, but is fairly
well known for his leadership in the
move to induce Gen. Eisenhower to
run for President. He still is q
friend Of Ike's.

lican, is South Dakotan and q
freshman. Washingtonians know
him for his Craftsmanship Of the Sem

Mississippi Democrat, a former cir

member Of the Southern bloc.

Public Hearings?
There were no instructions on
opening the hearings to the public.
The sentiment, however, seemed to
be for public attendance and press
coverage, but televiSion and news
reels were barred. The Senate had
learned its lesson on the televised
Mccarthy Army hearings. Hearings
would start in week or so.
Under terms of the resolution the
case against Senator Mccarthy
would be built around a series of
charges which were voiced by SEN
ator Flanders and, Senator y. Will

Mccarthy
Showdown in Senute
Seems Certuin as Six
Are Numed for Inquiry

After AZ years of debate over
the junior Senator from Wisconsin,
the Senate last week seemed headed
for a showdown. It was not certain,
Of course, that the Senate would
finish the job: nothing is sure in the
Senate. But at least leaders had
placed themselves in q position
where 1t would be almost as en-
barrassing to dodge as to vote.
The new Senate determination to
thresh out the Mccarthy issue
stemmed directly from q campaign
by Senator Ralph E. Flanders, Re
publican, Of Vermont, to run Joseph
r. Mccarthy, Republican, of Wis
conSin, out Of town.
Senator Flanders told the country,
In a series of speeches starting this
spring, that he liked neither Sena-
tor McCarthy'S methods nor his
aims. His Notwithstanding to
Mr.. Flanders-were a mixture of
slander, half truths, falsehoods and
evasions. His aims (Mr. Flanders
said) were to aggrandize himself by
dividing and frightening the Nation
and his party.
Senator Mccarthy snapped back
that Senator Flanders was the man
who was using the dishonest meth
ods-probably more out of senility
than viciousness.
Custer Move
First, the Vermonter demanded
Senator Mccarthy be relieved of
his post as chairman of the Gov
ernment Operations Committee. He
pushed hard for action on resolu-
/ tion to that effect until Senate
Majority Leader William Knowland
reluctantly agreed to let it come
; to the floor.
Then the resolution was modified
before it was called up 10 days ago.
t Senator Flanders said he would
settle for more modest goal-a
mere vote Of censure against Sen
ator Mccarthy.
When debate started the Senate
quickly split into three factions.
On either end of the spectrum were
about a dozen men, grimly for or
against the phrenetic Red hunter.
In the middle was a large group
which wanted fervently to have
nothing to do with the Mccarthy
issue or move against the Senator.
The "anti" Senators demanded a
quick. favorable vote on the Flanders
resolution even though they realized
they could not win. The "pro"
faction, who also wanted to vote
without delay, were confident the
Senate could vote down the Flanders
resolution.
In the middle, the cooler heads
Evening star., 1954-08-08

insisted that if Senator Mccarthy
were to be either hanged or vindi-
Gated, he first should receive q fair
trial.
Committee PIon
Majority Leader Knowland moved
to lay aside the Flanders resolution
and instead set up a special COM
mittee to investigate charges brought
against Senator Mccarthy. The
group would report its findings as
soon as possible.
Anti-McCarthy Senators promptly
accused Senator Knowland of try
ing to avert-not merely postpone
decision. Mr.. Knowland denied
the charge and agreed to modify
. his motion to instruct the committee

TheIssues

The key documents In the
Mccarthy issue were the censure
resolution offered by Senator
Flanders. and the Knowland
motion to set up q committee 20
study the Flanders resolution.
Senator Flanders wanted q
vote on this proposition:
Resolved, thot the conduct Of
the Senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
Mccarthy is unbeeomins member
Of the United Stotes Senate, 10 con-
troY to. senotorioI troditions, and

fore the Senate adjourns. He in
sisted there would be q prompt,
final decision.
This resolution was accepted by
the Senate. IS to IL. The dissenters
were three Republicans and nine
Democratic anti-McC Carthy diehards,
including Mr.. Flanders.
After the voting was over, leaders
in both parties continued to assure
doubters that the Senate really
would meet the Mccarthy issue.
Senator Knowland said the Senate
would be kept in session past the
new August IA adjournment date if
