Views Of Mccarthy Censure Action
70 the Editor 81 The Star:

On reading the Review Of The
Week." on August 8. Mccarthy Stalls
Congress" ! felt deep concern that
so many of our able Senators have
had their attention withdrawn from
the arena Of world affairs to have
become embroiled In such inconsequen-
tial issues as the censure move, neces-
sary as this now may be, so that it
detracts from the preservation Of our
foreign interests and hinders the exc
cution of government at home.
Indeed it Is ignominious that their
attention must be divided by one who
is forgetful Of the high trust he holds,
the dignity OF the Office he occupies,
his obligation to the voters whom he
represents, and his Animation to the
party of whom he seemed part. And
what Of the President sitting idly by,
confronted by a situation over which
he appears to have no control, and
which, at best, must be completely alien
to an Army man-insubordin Is
he reluctant to GUST this Grant bully?
No one must know better than Mr..
Eisenhower the reactions Of our allies,
and now that we have assumed leader
ship in world affairs, the little nations
and the large alike look to us for
inspiration and guidance. so 1t is inn
perative that we present q united
front.
Asia, cauldron Of insecurity and
seething with Red resentments. sits on
the fence waiting, watching, apprehen-
sively. What can we offer them If we
cannot stand firm and resolute at home?
We seek to impress the Asiatics and
win them over, yet we do not under
stand the need for psychological APP
proach and at times we tend to play
right into the Russians hands, for
not only are we at loggerheads with
our allies abroad, but we are con-
stantly wrangling and arguing amongst
ourselves at home.
How pleased the Communists must
be when the loud recriminations of
self-Styled patriot inadvertently aid
and abet their cause and earmark us
for contempt abroad, for such domestic
tensions at top level would never get
into the newspapers in Russia. Perhaps
little more discretion and strong-a arm
leadership within the Republican Party
would do more to re-establiSh our dam
aged prestige overseas than all the at
tempted ferenceS-premarked with
doom-abroad.

Carthyism" and thereby confusing our
citizenry and dividing our efforts in
exposing and Kidding this Nation of
communism? We have. by undue in
f1uences, accepted misinterpretation
of "McCarthyism." "McCarthyism" is
really an irate America fighting back
against the frustrating technical bar
riers. red tape. protocol and amenities
to expose and rid this Nation of the
most satanic menace that has ever
plagued our people.
To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln in
regard to slavery and the preservation
of the Union. I would say am for SEN
ator Mccarthy and "McCarthyism' or
any other person or ism If they bring
to the attention of the American people
the extreme danger of diabolical COM
munism and expose its members in and
out Of our Government and vital in
dustries and thereby preserve our
Union and way of life. I am for CEN
surfing Mccarthy and "McCarthyism"
or any other person or ism if thereby
we can better alert the American peo-
pie to the communistic danger and
expose them in high places and thereby
preserve the Union and our way of
life.
I am for exposing and getting rid Of
Communists and their system in our
country by any means short of cruelty
or gross injustice, and to my way of
thinking the breaking down of tech
meal barriers, red tape, protocol or
amenities are not gross injustices.

Senator Watkins committee should
not be faced with a difficult problem
in determining the validity of spe-
officially enumerated charges against
the Junior Senator from Wisconsin.
Even were the process of elimination
to delete some charges as being re-
dundant or beyond senatorial jurisdic-
ton, sufficient definite, irrefutable
facts remain which should determine
strong recommendation for senatorial
censure of this man who has chosen to
make himself headline news by fair
means or foul.
If he were only guilty of having ma
liciously and unjustly cast suspicion
upon Mrs. Anna Rosenberg for pur-
poseful, personal gain, this in itself
should be sufficient.
II he had only been responsible for
issuing deliberate, untruthfu state
ments concerning the fantastic num-
Der Of Communists in the State De-
partment, this in itself should be suf-
f1cient.
If he had been guilty of melting a
condition comparable to mass sub
versiveneSs among Government en-
ployes by requesting them to act as in
formers to him. in defiance of con-
trary admonition by the executive and
judicial orders, this in itself should be
sufficient.
