Mccarthy Honored
AtMilWaukee Dinner,
Hits Appeasement'
sy the A.,oeiossd Pres.


- MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 13.-Fif-
teen hundred home state sup
porters of Senator Mccarthy.
Republican, of wise onsin,
cheered noisily for the Senator
tonight as he told them 1--WE are
In the midst Of q movement Of
massive appeasement."
1T is a movement Of people
who are not loyal to our coun-
try" the Senator told his adj
mirers at a testimonial dinner In
his honor.
q Senator Mccarthy spoke brief
~ after he was presented with
a scroll by Francis Summnicht,
president Of the Young Republi-
can Club Of Outagamie County.
the Senator's home county. Mr..
iSummnicht said the scroll con-
tanned 900 signatures Of persons
backing Senator Mccarthy.
Interrupted by Applause.
The Senator's talk was inter-
rupted frequently by applause
and shouts of "We want joe"
"A great many of my Repub-
lican friends say Don't expose
Z anything wrong in your own
party" Senator Mccarthy said,
"but I don't subscribe to that
s theory"
The Senate presently is con-
: sidering a censure motion against
Senator Mccarthy.
II know you are behind me
now." he told the dinner crowd.
, "I was in Constitution Hall Gin
Washington the other night and
there were there mothers of sons
missing in action in the Korean
war. Then realized how seri-
. Gus it was that we were wasting
time in the Senate, instead of
digging out what happened to
: these American boys"
Senator Mccarthy concluded:
'I want to state that regardless
Of what is done at this circus,
whether I am censured, or am
no longer chairman of my COM
mittee. I shall continue to do
this job as I can till I die"
Goldwater Praises Senator.
+ Senator Goldwater, Republi-
: can. of Arizona, the main
speaker, praised Senator Nc
:. Carthy as a great American who
seeks the truth. Then he urged
that Republicans and Democrats
get together as team for the
good of the Nation.
1--WE must realize" he said,
"that times have changed and
only by cleansing ourselves of
those who would split us can we
60 ahead as a great Nation.
Lets quit being pro-McC Carthy
or anti-McC Carthy, against the
President or for the President.
Nothing can come of such a
split. Let's get together as a
team"

would be by not censuring him.
He enters the chamber briskly
every morning, sometimes, as on
last Thursday, with the cheers Of
his partisans outside ringing in
his ears. He. sits at his desk
piled high with documentary
paraphernalia, his bulging brief
case on one side: his attorney,
Edward B. Williams, on the
other.
Seems Free Man.
The setting H liked hours for
the debate makes it possible for
him to appear in the guise Of a
man free to come and go at will.
The other evening as Senator
Watkins, who unhappily sits
next to him, was laboriously re-
affirming some legal point in the
resolution, Senator Mccarthy
was contentedly packing up his
briefcase, looking for all the
world like q businessman after
a hard but satisfying day at the
Office.
Senator Mccarthy has been
eagerly relieved of all irksome
gadf1y duties in the debate by
Senator Welker, who asks for
order and quorum calls and often
calls attention to the empty
chairs on the Democratic side of
the aisle.
Nor has the debate. except for
a broadside from Senator STEM
mis-, so far given Senator Nc
Carthy much cause for sdismay.
He has heard Senator Bricker
make a high-level presentation
of the dangers of narrow prece-
dent that might be set by a Nc
Carthy acensure. He has heard
Senator Goldwater say in effect
that a vote against Mccarthy is
a vote for the Communist cause.
Senator Capehart has asked:
who promoted Peress?"
Disdains Olive Branch.
Senator Mccarthy has been
preferred an olive branch by a
member of the committee, Sena-
tor Case. He airily took it as If
it were a free sample, nothing
more.
Senator Mccarthy gave a
striking demonstration of his de-
tachment the other day during
the speech by Senator Gold
water. in which he was desig-
mated as a victim of "spiteful
slanders" and "the major po-
litical obstacle to the Commu-
nists in America"
Senator Mccarthy interrupted
to say he had to rush off to col
lect yet another testimonial in
Wisconsin. He added, with some
condescension, that he hated to
leave before the completion of
what appears to be an excellent
speech"
Missed announcement.
Thus he missed announcement
by two members Of the commit
tee, Senators Carlson and Wat
kins, that they had had about
enough. -
" Senator Carlson said: I'VE can
certainly solve this problem
without the sacrifice Of the dig
nifty of this chamber.
But the way things have been
going. it sounded like q large
order.

Calls Delay "Aimless".
Today's Soviet note said the
purpose OF the November 30 con-
ference would be ito prevent
the complication Of the situa-
ton in Europe which increases
the danger Of war"
Delay In convening such q
conference" it said, would be
airnleSs because in December Of
this year some European coun-
tries will begin consideration Of
the ratification of the Paris
agreements. Such ratification
would complicate the whole Sit
uation In Europe to a great de-
gree and would undermine the
possibility of settling unsolved
European problems and in the
first place the German problem. "
The collective security system
which Russia has in mind. en-
bracing all European countries
as well as the United States.
would replace the system of de-
fense alliances which the West
has set up and would specifically
ban the integration Of a re-
armed West Germany in the sys-
tenn.
The note charged that the
Paris agreements provide Tor the
restoration of militarism in
West Germany"
See Atomic Threat.

Germany" the note added. "also
have the possibility of being
equipped with atomic weapons
which greatly increases the
threat of a destructive atomic
war In Europe,
Foreshadowing continued So
Wet vetoes OF Western proposals
on reunification Of Germany, the
note said:
Ratification of the London
and Paris agreements would
mean that the unification of
Germany by the carrying out of
free alderman elections would
become a victim of present plans
for restoring Germany"

MOSCOW, Nov. 13. The
Soviet government, seeking to
delay or prevent ratification of
the Paris agreements on rearm-
ing West Germany, renewed to-
day proposal for establishing
a European system of collec-
tive security.
The Russians said a conference
for this purpose should be held
either in Moscow or Paris on
November 30.
The proposal was made in q
note to the French government.
Copies were sent to other gov
ernments in Europe as well as
the United States. Communist
China was asked to send OBJ
servers.
Big 3 Now Meeting.
The note was dispatched while
representatives of the Western
Big Three were meeting in Lon
don to draft an answer to Rus
sia's October % note. In this,
the Soviets proposed calling q
Big Four conference this month
to discuss reunification of Ger
many and also to consider hold
ing conference on all-European
collective security.
President Eisenhower, Prime
Minister Churchill and other Of
f1cials of the three Western
countries already have made it
plain the October % bid will be
turned down. They contend
little good could come from such
a conference while the Paris
agreements calling for rearmed
and sovereign West Germany are
still to be ratified.
I'm addition. the West has
insisted that Russia meet two
conditions prior to a Big -Four

one of the sharpest thus far in

ton by the Senate.
Senator Watkins and Erwin,
as well as several other COM
mittee members who addressed
the Senate last Thursday or Fri
day, are known to be deeply an
gered by the speech Senator
Mccarthy released in advance
to the press but inserted in the
Congressional Record last We'd
nesday without delivering it on
the Senate floor. That was the
one calling the committee an
unwilling handmaiden" and
involuntary agent" of the Com
munist Party.
Hurt His Chances.
The statement, as we'll as the
way it was circulated by Sena-
tor Mccarthy, has done more
than almost anything else in
recent days to hurt the chances
of any compromise on the CEN
sure issue. several Senators told
The Star yesterday.
AS for compromise attempts
and specific proposals, Senators
Watkins and Erwin said yester-
day they have heard nothing
more than rumors, although
they suppose some such at
tempts are being made.
II have never had any one
approach me about a compro-
mise" the committee chairman
said.
Nobody has suggested a COM
promise to me-" Senator Erwin
reported in a separate interview
II have no personal knowledge OF
any concrete moves for a COM
promise. I do not believe any
tangible basis for a compromise
exists"
Sees No Compromise.
One Senator, requesting that
he not be quoted by name, said
he could mot conceive how any
compromise could be worked
out" He called attention to SEN
ator McCarthy's declaration ir
Milwaukee yesterday, and re.
portedly to friends on other oc-
casions, that he does not intenc

Gas Seepage Source
In Bethesda SOUGHT

Montgomery County authori-
ties today sought Federal help
in tracing the source of gasoline
leaking into the basement of a
Bethesda bowling alley.
Fire Marshal Charles H. Howe.
jr.. said the National Bureau Of
Standards will be asked to ana
lyze samples of gasoline squeezed
from 15-foot-deep clay borings
near the Bethesda Fort Alleys,
1851 Old Georgetown road. in
an attempt to identify the
source.

the street from the alley con-
Quoted pressure tests on their
tanks without disclosing any
leaks, Mr.. Howe said. The gaso-
line could be coming from as
far as a mile away, he believes.
Firemen said the bowling al-
ley building was safe after run
ming explosion meter tests in
the basement. All the alleys are
on the first floor.
The meter registered explosive
vapor in only one spot, over a
basement drain pipe. Bethesda
firemen, directly across from the
alley, have been flushing sewer
mains in the area to keep vapors
from collecting there.

Legislation Incorporating
National Airport Asked

The Commerce Department
yesterday asked Congress for
legislation to incorporate the
Washington National Airport,
as recommended by the Hoover
Commission on Governmental
reorganization.
Robert B. Murray, jr., Under
secretary of Commerce for
Transportation, who forwarded
the letter. said the change would
permit more efficient operation.
Like other Government agen-
cieS. the airport now operates
on an annual budget and turns
its income into the Treasury
MIR. Murray said it is difficult
for the airport to forecast the
needs of it's expanding business
q year in advance.
The proposed legislation would
permit the airport. under the
control of the Secretary of Com
merce, to deposit its receipts in
a special fund of its own at the
Treasury and to draw on it as
needed.

On II Acres Filed
For New Nike Bose

The Government filed a con-
demnation suit in Alexandria
Federal Court yesterday to
acquire 1927 acres near Fairfax

new Nike guided missile station
to protect Washington.
The, Army previously has an
nounced that ring of Nike in
Stallations are to be erected
around Washington. One al
ready is under construction at
Lorton. Va, and a mobile sta
tion will be located at Fort
Meade.
The site at Fairfax Station is
the first for which the Govern
ment has filed suit. Although the
condemnation suit did not specify
the use that was to be made OF
the property. an accompanying
map specified that it was a Nike
battery launching and control
area.
An Army spokesman ques-
toned about the map notation
said it was reasonable to pre-
sumo" that the property was to
be used for a Nike station.
Owners of the site are listed in
the condemnation suit as E.
