of Vermont. today continued to
push for action Friday on his
move to censure Senator Nc
Carthy despite the setback given
the Senate legislative timetable
by the atomic energy filibuster.
The 73-year-old Vermonter.
the Senate's severest Republican
critic of Senator Mccarthy. said
there was no change in his plan
to introduce the cenSure resolu-
ton Friday. In an accompany
ing speech, he said he would cite
specific incidents" as to why
the Senate should condemn
Senator Mccarthy.
Senator Flanders said q Sena-
tor could not be neutral on his
Mccarthy motion, he would
have to vote yes, mo-. or dodge
It." And he added that "if q
Senator absents himself without
reason he viii be voting to
dodge" the issue.
Move TO Table Seen.
He said he had been assured
by Senate Democrats they will
not use the Mccarthy resolution
to prolong the session Of Con-
gress, and he saw no reason why
there shouldn't be a vote the
day it is introduced. Republican
leaders are expected to move to
table the Flanders motion, which
would be a move to kill 1t, and its
author has said he would con-
slider a vote on tabling as a vote
on the merits.
There was no immediate re-
action from the Senate Demo-
cratic Policy Committee to an
invitation to throw its weight
behind Senator Flanders mo-
ton. The invitation was made
public yesterday by the National
Committee for an Effective Con-
gress.
In a letter to Chairman Lynn
don B.. johnson Of Texas and
other members of the committee.
the group said:
Even If a natural diSdain In
clined you to overlook McCar-
thy's charge that yours is a
party of treason you could not
ignore his threat to the orderly
conduct of our Government"
Senator Mundt, Republican. of
South Dakota, said, meanwhile.
. that he would call a meeting Of
his subcommittee within a few
days to take UP the job of writ
ing a report on the 36-day Nc
Carthy-Army inquiry. He served
as chairman. replacing Senator
Mccarthy, of the Senate Inves-
legations Subcommittee for the
hearing on the bitter row.
Ray H. jenkins, special coun-
sci of the Mundt subcommittee
during the hearing, said at his
Knoxville (Tenn.) nome that he
had sent Senator Mundt a AT
page digest of hearing testimony,
and a balance sheet of pros
and cons of the Army-Mc-
Carthy row. He prepared these
as help to committee members
in writing their report.
Mccarthy Back in News.
Senator Mccarthy himself was
back in the news with defense
against charges that he had
abused witnesses in his various
investigations of alleged Com
munist inf1ltration.
He denied that he abused Brig.
Gen. Ralph w. Zwicker, deco
rated commander at Camp Kill
mer, N. j., last February. an
incident that touched off the
Army row. He described Gen.
Zwicker, whom he had been
quoted as saying was unfit to
wear a uniform, as zone OF the
most arrogant and insolent wit
nesses" ever to appear before
him.
Senator Mccarthy said that
he and his Investigations staff
were not through in their efforts
to prove they were not mistaken
in identifying as Communist
Mrs. Annie Lee Moss, colored
Pentagon clerk.
Mrs. Moss, who swore she was
not and never had been Com
munist, was suspended from a
job in the Pentagon code room.
She later was restored to a mon
sensitive" position, and the PEN
tagon said her case was still un-
der review. Senator Mccarthy
said Mrs. Moss had been named
a Red by "a very, very reliable
former agent of the FBI =. ;"
Repeats Old Charges.
Senator Mccarthy testified UNI,
der oath before Senate Rules
subcommittee which Is consider
ing proposals for a code Of OPP
erations. for Senate investiga-
tions. The group. headed by
Senator Jenner, Republican, OF
Indiana, will have recommends
tions but probably not until next
session.
The Wisconsin Republican also
took occasion to repeat and
strengthen some other old
charges he had made.
He branded as a Communist"
Miss Dorothy Kenyon, former
New York judge who later was
attached to a United Nations or
ganization.
Senator Mccarthy first
brought up her name in the 1850
Senate hearing on his charges
of Communist inf1ltration of the
State Department. At the time
he accused her Of having be-
: longed to % Communication
organizations. Yesterday he
raised the number to So.
"I didn't know them" he said
In reference to the 1850 hear
ing, that Kenyon was a Com
munist. I found out later from
two very reliable informants
that she was a Communist"
