"wholehearted support" to the
Vermonter's resolution.
Lehman Plans to Speak.
Senator Lehman said he would
speak later in support of the
Flanders resolution and cite, as
he has in the past, "the evils
and dangers Of McCarthyism. I"
In keeping with his intention
announced yesterday, Senator
Flanders deferred until July 80 a
call for a showdown vote on his
resolution. Senator Lehman
urged him not to extend his dead
line beyond that date, saying he
feared the resolution might be
"sidetracked" in the adjourn
ment rush.
Senate Majority Leader Know
land sat unsmiling in his seat as
Senator Flanders intoned the
words Of his speech and resolu-
ton. Earlier. the Californian
had dashed out at Senator Fland-
ers, saying the only reason action
had not been demanded today
was that those supporting the
resolution didn't have the votes.
Wants Roll Call Vote.
Senator Flanders plans to ask
a roll call vote on his resolution
when it is introduced. This, or
a decision to table the motion
would put each individual Sena-
tor on record for or against
Senator McCarthy-a course de-
voutly unwished for by most of
the members.
Senator Flanders, in his
speech, drew a parallel between
Hitler and Senator Mccarthy
and said the Wisconsin Repub-
lican was "just naturally going
that way"
The silence in the Senate
chamber and in the sparsely
filled galleries remained unbro-
ken as Senator Flanders called
on the Senate to choose the way
1t will go-"in the path and
under the influence" of Abraham
Lincoln or under the leadership
Of the junior Senator from Wis
conSin."
I'm the words of Joshua, who
led the children of Israel into
the Promised Land" Senator
Flanders added. "'Choose you
this who you would serve.'"
Gore Asks Quorum Call.
AS Senator Flanders rose to
speak, Senator Gore, Democrat.
of Tennessee asked for a quorum
call. He was acting minority
leader with Senate Democratic
Leader Johnson absent from the
floor.
AS the quorum call went on
and only a few Senators were
dribbling in. Senator Gore
sought to withdraw his request
for the quorum call.
This brought an immediate
objection from Senator Butler,
Republican, of Maryland, whose.
1850 election campaign received
strong support from Senator
Mccarthy. Senator Butler with
drew his objections, however, as
Senator Knowland walked up
the aisle to speak to him.
Seeks Bipartisan" Vote.
In postponing his efforts to
have the Senate censure Senator
Mccarthy, Senator Flanders had
said he wanted the vote to be
''as massive and bipartisan" as
possible and did not want to be
a party to delaying President
Eisenhower's legislative program.
He also said the delay was re-
quested by Senator Mcclellan,
who wanted to be present.
Senator Mccarthy had said he
hoped Senator Flanders would
do him the courtesy Of holding
up his speech until after the
subcommittee meeting on staff
problems.
While not directly saying so,
the Wisconsin Republican indi-
Gated he might take the floor
to reply to the proposal de-
scribed by Senator Flanders as
one representing IAN expression
of conscience of the Senate"
Senator Knowland, mean
while. charged that Senator
Flanders was under pressure
from the CLIO and Americans
for Democratic Action to delay
the formal motion because they
lacked the votes to go ahead.
Linked to Clio and ADA.
In a surprising linking Of the
rugged Vermont manufacturer
with the CLIO and the ADA, Sem
ator Knowland told reporters:
1.-THE Go and ADA have been
preserving Senator Flanders for
