Barrett Of Wyoming
Sees Peril in Move
To Censure Mccarthy
By Gornett D. Horner
Sior StnH Correspcndent

DENVER, Oct. 1l.-Senator
Barrett, Republican of Wyom-
ing, said today he thought it
would be a very dangerous
precedent" for the Senate to
censure Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican of Wisconsin.
Senator Barrett talked with re-
porters after conferring here
with President Eisenhower. He
said he reported to Gen. Eisen-
hover that in his Judgment Wy
oming "is going Republican" in
the November 2 elections.
The Senator told questioners
that, from what he reads in the
newspapers. majority of the
Senate thinks the unanimous
committee report recommending
censure of Senator Mccarthy
should be backed up.
But 1t looks to me like it is
going to call for a lot of clear
thinking before taking action, "
he said.
In discussing the Wyoming
political situation, Senator Bar
rett said he looks for Republican
Representative William Henry
Harrison to win by substantial
majority" his campaign for
the Senate against Joseph c.
OMahoney. former Democratic
Senator.
Aside from political and gov
ernment business. Gen. Eisen-
hover had appointments today
with three Denver friends-W. P.
Ellis, a businessman, and Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Six. Mr.. Six is
president of Continental Airlines
Mrs. Six is Ethel. Norman, of
Broadway and Hollywood musical

West Asks Russia
In u. n. 10 Clarity
Arms Cut Proposal
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 11-Britain's Selwyn Lloyd
today called upon Russia for an
early statement clarifying just
how far the Kremlin is prepared
to go in meeting Western condi-
tions for arms reduction and
atomic control.
The British Minister of State
said Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Andrei Y. VishinSky had
given some reason for hope in
his new proposals 10 days ago,
but had left many vital questions
unanswered.
Mr.. Lloyd was the first speaker
in the disarmament debate be-
fore the General Assembly's 60
nation Political Committee. He
was followed by French Delegate
Jules Moch who also appealed
for clarification of the Soviet
position.
Mr.. Lloyd specifically asked
Mr.. Vishinsky to state in plain
terms whether Russia is now
ready to accept an iron-clad
international inspection system
which would be in operation be-
fore an arms reduction or atomic
ban was put into effect.
Until such Qualification is
forthcoming. he said, I'VE must
be careful to be neither too pes
simistic nor to optimistic"
The Political Committee debate
is expected to continue about
two weeks.
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., said last
night in a televiSion interview
that the whole week would be
devoted to shooting well-planned
questions at the Russians to de-
termine if they really want dis
armament or whether their
proposal is lust in the realm
Of sound effect"
Mr.. Lodge said any Soviet dis
armament plan must be looked
at with the greatest care"

top leaders from the party who
voted against that treaty. A
$3.50 split in the party's deputies
on the EDO vote was one Of the
factors in its rejection in August.

emily anticipates a sizable back
ing from the Socialists and MRP,
no matter what their party COM
mands decide. The premier Is
certain Of solid opposition from
the Assembly's 100 Communists
and fellow travellers.
Premier Is Confident.
Mr.. Mendes-France voiced his
confident expectations yesterday
in a speech at Pont Saint
Pierre, in his native Normandy.
He told his audience - large
area of agreement has appeared"
in the Assembly debate on the
London agreements.
1T is particularly refreshing
to note not only that the debate
took place in an atmosphere Of
conciliation and dignity" the
Premier continued. "but also
and above all-that an impor-
tant majority has now appeared
which is ready to agree on an
issue which had so deeply di-
vided French opinion"
To pressure the deputies, MIR.
Mendes-France has made the
Assembly vote one Of confidence
in the entire policy Of his gov
ernment. That policy has put
particular emphasis on drastic
measures for French economic
recovery and the Premier backed
this up yesterday with an an
nouncement that production in
the four months of his PREMIER
ship exceeds his most optimistic
hopes.
Citing the 2-cent boost the
government made Saturday
night in the minimum legal
wage. Mr.. Mendes-France said
in a broadcast he favored free
collective bargaining but will
not tolerate that workers get too
low wages" E
Firms unable to pay the in
crease, he continued. will have
to turn to other production and
adapt Ito the present needs of
the nation" The government.
he added, will work still more
energetically to develop Frances

Anti-Eisenhower Congress
Democrat Aim, Nixon Says

LOS ANGELES. Oct. II (P.-
Vice President Nixon declared
yesterday that Adlai Stevenson
''like other Democratic leaders is
Offering destructive criticism ap-
parently because they have no
constructive suggestions to offer :"
Mr.. Nixon arrived for speech
at nearby San Pedro shortly after
Mr.. Stevenson, the 1852 Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee who
addressed a rally in the Holly
wood Bowl Saturday night. left
by plane for Phoenix. Ariz.
Mr.. Stevenson and others are
simply asking for the election of
an anti-Eisenhower Congress,
Mr.. Nixon said when asked by
newsmen for comment on Sat-
urday nights speech.
"He is following the pattern
OF Mr.. Mitchell (Stephen A.
Mitchell. chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committeel and
other Spokesmen for the Demo-
cratic Party who only offer
return to the policies that were
practiced under Harry S. Tru-
man and Dean Acheson.
due to the lack of any real
issues raised by the Democrats
and the fact that President
Eisenhower has presented the
issues as he sees them so clearly,
am confident that the Repub-
licans are on their way to VIC
tory"
Mr.. Stevenson, speaking before
q crowd estimated at $4,000, said
the real issue this fall "is whether
Congress will function more ef-
fectively under divided, quarrel
some Republican regime than it
Will under the proved leadership
Of the Democratic Party"

Their Views

AS council members, they often
have differed. Mrs. Werner is one
of two Democrats on the council.
Mr.. Gravelle one of five Republic
cans. Each stands on the plat
form of the party he represents.
Mrs. Werner said she opposed
Mr.. Gravelle's appointment from
the start. Now, she said, "he
wants to lick me-" She says the
council race isn't like running
for Congress: you don't have an
individual platform" She adds,
THE vote is important, and l
have done the best I can to use
it,"
AS a person, she said she stands
for honestly facing up to govern
mental needs of a rapidly ex-
panding population" She says
she believes present sources of
revenue-the real estate, income
and sales taxes-are adequate
to care for these needs if the
State will return to the county
a more equitable share"
She says she favors open meet
ingS and accuses Mr.. Gravelle of
wanting them closed. Her oppon-
ent, she says, should make his
proposals in open sessions where
he can be heard" She said she
refers to budget discussions, es-
pecially. She favors cutting the
suburban district tax and thinks
the county wastes a lot of
money" She says it can be done
more efficiently with less money,
proper management" .
Mr.. Gravelle likewise says he
favors eliminating waste and
getting rid of inefficiency' He
believes the council has done a
good job, but notes that Demo-
Gratis have "viciously criticized"
it. He adds, II assume they in
clude all seven of the members. !"
He points out that Mrs. Wer-
ner has served on the council for
four years, he considerably less.
He says he never knew of any
appropriation that came up in
Rockville that Mrs. Werner didn't
vote for" He asks, why doesn't
she defend the council against
her own party's criticisms?"
He admits his outSpokenness
on behalf of some issues and ex-
plains, What I have tried to
do is look out for interests of all
the people in Montgomery Coun-
ty and not just certain special
! interests" He says. Il will stand

Tremendous Swing
Toward Democrats
Seen by Stevenson
BY the Asseeisisd Press


ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex.
Oct. 11.-Adlai Stevenson said
last night he had noted q
tremendous swing toward the
Democratic Party and added:
"I think the Democrats will
win control of the House by 80
or 40 seats"
The 1852 Democratic presi-
Dental nominee said he could
not speculate on his party's
chances in the Senate in the
November election "as to the
numbers. but I think the Demo-
Gratis will take control"
He spoke at press confer
ence during a brief stop here on
his way to Taos, N. Mex, where
he plans to spend five days at
the ranch of Stephen A. Mitchell.
the Democratic national chair
man.
Before coming to Albuquerque
MIR. Stevenson told Arizona
Democrats attending a fund
raising dinner in Phoenix:
I'm addition to casting a
critical eye upon the Republican
Party. the voters should examine
the record of the Democratic
Party as the minority party in
Congress.
'"The Democrats not only
talked sense. but made sense
Especially is their record impress
sive in comparison to the Repub-
lcans as a minority"
The Democrats, he said. took
the lead in exposing deficiencies
of the new look in the defense
program" and fought staunchly
and in most parts successfully to
take the monopoly aspects out
of the Atomic Emery Act revi-
sion"

Gratis and Republicans are fight
ing out a vital Senate race along
the historic line of. Liberal Con-
servative cleavage.
Perhaps as nowhere else in
the Nation, the fundamental dis
pute between Liberals and Con-

battle between Democrat Paul

Senate term, and Republican
Joseph T. Meek, making his first
bid for public Office.
Charges and Countercharges.
For Senator Douglas regards
government as the economic
guardian of the people-as their
paternalistic champion.
And Mr.. Meek, for 20 years the
voice of Illinois retail merchants,
is the free enterprise, unfettered,
uncontrolled economy type of
Republican.
Senator Douglas cries out that
Mr.. Meek serves "the special
interests" And Mr.. Meek thun-
ders back that Douglas is a
Socialist" and medicine man
economist"
Then there are those other is
sues of peace and the pocket
book.
Wherever he goes throughout
the State, Mr.. Meek bears down
on the favorite G. o. P. theme
of peace and prosperity. People
are doing pretty well these days.
he says. and besides:
Nowhere in the world today
are guns killing American boys;
nowhere in the world are planes
shooting them down."
At coffee-hour talks, in street
corner speeches and in political
rally orations, he almost always
gets around to that-and to
pounding Senator Douglas as a
Socialist who wants to wreck
the Eisenhower administration"
and "have the Government take
over and run your lives"
He calls the Senator "Mr. Cap
ital IS of Socialism" the pink
professor" or Paul the planner.
He told one group of Republican
women that Senator Douglas
talks the Communist lingo" and
speaks the identical party
line"
Will Attack Boomerang?
This is all part of calcu-
lated plan. The question is
whether this line of attack will
make a martyr of Senator Doug
las and boomerang against Mr.
Meek. It's a gamble the Meek
forces are willing to take.
Mr.. Meek is so and looks
