An unprecedented challenge
to Observation-Disclosures one
that can curtail the right Of a
member of Congress hereafter
to express freely and without
fear Of intimidation his views
on public questions-has been
projected by the vote of the
Senate to create a special COM
mittee of six to consider GER
tain charges made by other
Senators against Senator Nc
Carthy.
The issue is not whether
what the Wisconsin Senator
has said in his speeches about
Gen. Marshall or any one else
was or was not meritorious,
but whether the Senate is
about to try a United States
Senator for conduct which it
has never heretofore prescribed
as a violation of it's rules.
The Supreme Court of the
United States has set aside as
unconstitutional many a law
passed by Congress, because it
did not specify standards for
the application of the law in
question.
What are the standards by
which the new Senate COM
mittee is to Judge the conduct
of the Wisconsin Senator, and
can a rule be applied now
which refers to acts allegedly
committed before the rule was
ever adopted?
If it be ethics that now are
to be defined, there is the
charge that Senator Mccarthy
received a fee for the prepara-
ton of a book on housing of
veterans, published by a hous-
ing company. Senator Full
bright says the fee was not
paid for comparable services"
Then what shall be said Of
those Senators who-as Sena-
tor Knowland pointed out in
the debate-have received fees
for public speaking in excess
Of those normally paid? Also,
what of the fact that labor
unions. trade associations and
corporations having business
with the Congress paid out
such huge fees to members of
Congress?
If it be unethical for a Sem
ator to accept a fee for writing
a book derived from informa-
ton received from his own COM
mittee or from executive agen-
cies of the Government, what
shall be said of the ethics of
the late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt who, while he was
in the White House, had pub
lished for private profit and

olate their oaths and the law
by encouraging them to give
him information which. It has
been argued. they should not
transmit. Conceding that d
Federal enploye should be
fired for doing it-and maybe

In risking his job for the public
welfare there any rule of
conduct by either house of
Congress which says the MEM
beers can not use In hearings
information Of any kind which
they receive? II so, it hasn't
been written yet anywhere in
the rules
The case is parallel to the
action Of the late President
Roosevelt when he wrote q
letter to a committee chair
man In the House and urged
that the Guffey Coal Act be
passed irrespective of any
doubts which members might
have as to the constitutional
ity of that bill. Was this ask
ing members of Congress to
violate the oaths in which they
promised ito support the Com
stitution." and, if not, is 1t
any different conduct from
that which is charged against
the Wisconsin Senator?
One Of the charges now has
blown up in the faces Of the.
accusers-the Army has just
suspended for the second time
Annie Lee Moss. whom Sena-
tor Mccarthy charged was a
Communist, and this time it
is stated some new informa-
ton has been uncovered by the
FBI. Supposing the resolution
of censure for his having made
the charge in the Moss case
had passed the Senate when
the anti-McC arthy Senators
were pressing for a vote last
week - would they today be
revoking their action? Could
they undo the damage done
the Wisconsin Senator by such
a resolution of censure inn
pugning his integrity and his
fidelity to his duty. as he sees
it. in trying to rid the Govern
ment Of Communists?
The select committee Of
Senators can make a report
promptly and briefly namely,
that it cannot try Senator
Mccarthy because there are
no rules of conduct covering
his speeches or alleged atti-
tudes in his committee hear
ings and that, if there are to
be rules, then all members
should be subject to them
hereafter and not retroactively.

The recent burning of

Latin America does not mean

It means only that their hot

dropped as soon as the emer-
