Know|and Criticizes
Motion by Flanders
To Curb Mccarthy
Adoption Would Disrupt
Orderly Procedures of
Senote, He Declares
By Gould Lincoln

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland today criticized as "a
mistake" Senator Flanders reso-
luton to strip Senator Mccarthy
of his committee chairmanShipS
unless he "purged" himself of
financial charges brought
against him.
( Senator Knowland said in an
interview that adoption of the
Flanders proposal would open a
"veritable Pandora's Box" and
break down orderly procedures
in the Senate.
II told Senator Flanders, Re-
publican. of Vermont, it was a
mistake to introduce a resolution
of that kind in the Senate at
this time without any consulta-
ton with the leaders of that
body" Senator Knowland said.
II do not believe it is the pro-
cedure which should be followed.
I do not believe that the motion
is justified. 1t is contrary to the
usual procedures in the Senate
and opens the door to disruption
Of orderly Senate procedures.
Won't Predict Outcome.
While Senator Knowland was
unwilling to predict the fate of
the Flanders resolution, an i'm
preston prevailed at the Capitol
that there would not be sufficient
votes to put it through.
While many Democrats who
oppose Senator Mccarthy might
wish to support the resolution,
it was said, the probabilities are
that it would not receive support
from a sufficient number to as
sure its adoption. Furthermore,
It was suggested that chairmen
Of standing committees of the
Senate would be reluctant to vote
for such a proposition, since it
could cause them trouble in the
future.
Senator Mccarthy, Republic
can, of Wisconsin is chairman
of the Government Operations
Committee and it's Investigating
subcommittee.
Senator Knowland said he be-
lieved Senator Flanders should
have waited until after the pres
ent hearings in the Army-Mc-
Carthy row had been completed
and a report filed, before intro
Quoting his resolution to take
away Senator McCa1'thy's chair
manships.
Motion Offered.
In introducing the motion
yesterday, Senator Flanders said
Senator Mccarthy was in con-
tempt of the Senate because he
had ignored a Senate report
criticizing his receipt of $4,000
from the Lustron Corp, and
raising the question whether
money given him to fight Com
munists had been diverted to his
own personal use.
Senator Mccarthy called the
allegations "a smear"
It is Senator Flanders con-
tention that unless the Wis
conSin Senator is willing to
answer the charges and permit
a thorough investigation he
should not be allowed to con-
| tinue in his chairmanShips.

Young Wins Fight
To Control Central
By Broad Margin
MiIIion-Vote Advantage
Reported in Tally to
Be Released Monday
BY the Associatsd Press

NEW YORK, June 12.-The
future of the Nations second
biggest railroad, the New York
Central, lay today in the hands
of Robert r. Young, Texas-born
financier.
Mr.. Young won the bitter fight
for control by a margin Of 1870
900 shares out of the Central's
grand total Of 6.447,410. an au-
thoritative source who declined
to be named said yesterday.
The official results, which may
vary slightly from this figure,
are to be announced at 10 am.
Monday by the election inSpec-
tors at Albany, N. Y, where the
count of shares has been in
progress since the stockholders
meeting May 26.
But there was no doubt about
the outcome. In Los Angeles,
Mr.. Young's wealthy Texa S
friend, Clint w. Murchison, con-
firmed the victory.
Texans Are Chief Factors.
It was Mr.. Murchison who
with his fellow Texan, Sid W.
Richardson, bought the long
contested 100000 shares which
were the backbone Of Mr.
Young'S victory.
Eyes, we have won the Central
fight-the Young group, that is
said Mr.. Murchison, IT'S in the
bag, even without those SO0,O0O
shares"
No comment was available
from the defeated Central: board
headed by William White, Gen.
trail president.
Mr.. Young's likely choice tc
take over Mr.. Whites job as
president is Alfred E. Perlman
51-year-old executive vice preSi-
dent of the Denver & Rio Grande
Western Railroad.

powers of the East over the af-

Scored in Wall Street.
A breakdown of the count by
the unofficial source showed that
Mr.. Young increased his lead by
scoring heavily in his old stamp
ing grounds, Wall Street. He
carried the huge block of 2.750.-
600 shares held in brokers' names
by a margin of about Ia to l.
getting a plurality of roughly
475,0 900 shares. This margin in
cluded the 100000 shares Mr.
Young and his old-time asso-
ciate, Allan p. Kirby, own per-
Sonally.
Brokers hold this stock on be-
half of an estimated 10000 to
$1,000 individual owners.
On top Of this, Mr.. Young had
the 800, 900 shares owned in the
names of Mr.. MurchiSon and Mr.
Richardson. These two Texans
were among some $1,000 Other
stockholders.
Among the bulk Of these stock
holders, the source disclosed. Mr.
White was the favorite. Indi.
vidually, their proxies went fol
Mr.. White by 2 to / and by
shares Mr.. White led Mr.. Youne
in this group by 100000. But
this edge was completely erased
by the massive holdings of the
opposition.

Mundt Asks End
Of Cohn' sFeud
With Kennedy
Democrats Adviser
Says Mccarthy Aide
Threatened Jackson
By Allen DruY

Senator Mundt today de-
manded that two Senate Inves-
LEGATIONS subcommittee staff as
SistantS put an end to a bitter
personal feud which almost led
to a fist fight after yesterdays
session Of the Army Nice arthy
hearing.
The latest f1are-up occurred
when Roy M. Cohn, chief coun-
sci of the subcommittee, walked
up to Robert Kennedy, counsel
for the Democratic members of
the group. and threatened to
"get" Senator Jackson, Dem
ocrat. of Washington, because
the Senator ridiculed a plan for
anti-Communist psychological
warfare prepared by Pvt. G.
David Schine. A sharp verbal
exchange followed.
Senator Mundt, acting chair
man of the subcommittee, said
in an interview that there has
been "a feud going on for
a long time between Kennedy
and Cohn." He added:
Il don't know why and I don't
care why. 1t is something that
has no place in the hearings and
1t isn't going to have a place in
the hearings. They are just
popping off and they can stop
it,"
Possible Answer to Demand.
This statement by the acting
chairman seemed to be an an
Swer to Mr.. COINS demand that
he be given the right to ask ques-
tons Monday. He asserted this
procedure might develop the
true facts" about some of the
things Senator Jackson had said
during questioning of Senator
Mccarthy about Pvt. Schine.
Here are the accounts of the
Kennedy Cohn fracaS as given
by the two combatants:
AS Chairman Mundt recessed
the hearing, Mr.. Cohn left the
witnesS-stand where he was
seated beside Senator Mccarthy
and walked behind the commit
tee table where Mr.. Kennedy was
picking up his papers and pre-
pairing to leave.
According to Mr.. COINS ver-
sion. he asked Mr.. Kennedy if
he thought some one who had q
personal hatred for one of the
principals in the case should be
advising the Democratic mem
SerS. He said Mr.. Kennedy
turned away angrily.
This was not the same episode
seen and heard by half a dozen
newSmen. Nor did it conform to
Mr.. Kennedy'S version.
Kennedy's Version.
Mr.. Kennedy told it this way:
He came up to me as I was
picking up my papers and said,
You'd better tell Jackson we're
going to get him on Monday.
We're going to bring out stuff
on him being favorably inclined
to Communists. We're going to
bring out stuff that he has writ
ten favorable to communism
HE was mad. He was speak
ing as though something was
about to explode within him. He
was calm and speaking through
his teeth.
'Mr. Kennedy said he told Mr..
Cohn he had a hell of a nerve
to threaten me-
81 told him he had tried it
on the Army. and he had tried
it on the Democratic Senators
on the committee, and now he
was trying it on me. I told him
il he had any threats to make
to Senator Jackson to carry it
right to Senator jackson.
Shouldn't Be Adviser.
"He said I shouldn't be on the
committee advising the Demo-
Gratis as long as I had a personal
hatred for one of the principals.
He said, you hate me-

speaker, nor with the rightnesS
or wrongness of what he says.
It's simply that there are times
for talking and times for keeping
quiet. And to the extent that
the United States has an inter-
est in the present world crisis. a
gag for all top public Officials is
urgently indicated.
In the past few days state
ments by Mr.. Dulles and Presi-
dent Eisenhower have gone far
toward destroying the one small
reserve of bargaining power that
the allies had at Geneva. And In
the present French political
crisis these same statements
have complicated severely the
almost impossible struggle Tor
survival of a government heart
lily devoted to the goals OF Amer
lean foreign policy.
Ironically enough Mr.. Dulles
seems to be intent on destroying
the very thing which he worked
so frantically to create in the
last days before the opening OF
the Geneva Conference; the
situation Of potential strength
in Southeast Asia from which
the allies could bargain with
some hope of success. 1t can
scarcely be denied that the adj
ministration deliberately set out
| to sell the idea to the American
! public that Indo- China was vital
to American strategic interests
that the country. together with
its allies, should be ready to
fight to prevent the area from
falling under Communist domi-
nation.
Policy Reversal.
Today the machine is in re-
verse. Both the Secretary and
the President seem to be saying
now that the United States has
no intention of intervening in
Indo- China. And they are saying
it more clearly every day.
| Admittedly a good part of Mr.
Dulles original plan fell through
when the proposal of interven-
ton was cold-Shouldered by our
major allies. Perhaps, as has been
said, there was a certain element
of bluff in all that tough talk
Perhaps American intervention
in Indo-C China is in fact impos-
sible nilitarily, politically and
morally.
Admitting all these things, II
is still a mystery why Mr.. Dulle;

In practice, governments have

debate on Indo- China policies.
After his own resolution had
been rejected, Mr.. Laniel posed
the confidence question on re-

opposition resolutions. BY its vote
today, the Assembly agreed to
go ahead and consider these res
olutions, against the govern
ment's will.
Although the vote was on the
conduct of the Indo-China war.
