Meanwhile, q move to kill the
censure charges against Senator
Mccarthy was brewing among
his Senate supporters.
Jenner Plans Move.
Senator Jenner, Republican,
Of Indiana, said he planned to
initiate q motionet to Quash the
charges.
The Jenner announcement
followed a speech in which the
Indianan asserted that "the
strategy Of censure was initiated
by the Communist conspiracy" /"
He said he had discussed his
proposal to quash, the charges
with other members and "the
ideas has q generally good re-
ception. Z
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
Of Michigan, predicted that the
Jenner move would fail He told
reporters that he believes most
members want to meet sQuarely
the issue Of whether Senator
McC Carthy should be rebuked.
He added that he hasn't made
up his mind on how he win vote

believe ! will be censured."
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said that he expected
the first test vote on the censure
issue to come on the Watkins
Committee resolution, rather
than on q substitute or a motion
to table.
Senator Knowland added that
he looked for the first vote
either late this week or early
next week. He said that he
expected introduction Of q mo-
ton to table only after there
had been q test on the censure
move.
Senator Jenner's motion would
be to shut of debate and give
Senators a chance to vote on
the parliamentary question of
tabling-and thus killing
censure resolution.
Senator Knowland also said
two. three or four discussions
are going on" about q compro-
mise on the censure charges.
Senator Bridges, Republican,
of New Hampshire, Senate Pres
ident pro tenn, said in q sep
arate interview that he expects
a compromise proposal to be
presented "by some one who has
not taken a position" adding
that he would make q speech
supporting 1t.
Neither Senator Knowland
nor Senator Bridges gave any
hint as to the nature of COM
promise proposals under discus
sion.
Talk Of q compromise received
an unexpected boost from Sem

committee.
