Mccarthy To Be Given Dignified Senate Hearing

WASHINGTON, R-Sen. Full bright D-Ark) said Tuesday he would not object to discarding some accusations against Senator Mccarthy so long as the Senate gets chance to vote on whether the Wisconsin Republican has shown disregard for the whole orderly conduct of government" !"
 A six-member Senate commit tee decided Monday to give Me Carthy the right to cross-exam- inc witnesses in public hearings to begin Aug. 30 on accusations that his conduct has tended to bring the Senate into disrepute and merits formal censure.
 Members said the special group, headed by Sen. Watkins R-Utah), is aiming at 10-day hearing and mid-September report. The Senate might reconvene Oct. 1 to act on such a report.
 Watkins said the group, com- posed of three Republicans and three Democrats, hopes to conduct it's hearings much as court trial, with evidence limited to that which the committee holds is rel evant and with most hearsay tes- timony barred.
 "The testimony will have to be relevant" Watkins said. "It will have to be given by competent witnesses. We intend to conduct the hearings as judicial inquiry. The charges are rather grave. It is serious matter and we want to conduct the investigation in keep ing with the dignity of the Sen ate."

Balkan Nations Sign
 Military Pact Against Communist Aggression

BLED, Yugoslavia, R-Yugo- slavia, Turkey, Italy and Greece signed a military pact Monday aimed at welding a Balkan wall against any aggression by Russia or her Cominform satellites.
 The historic pact implements the Balkan friendship treaty that President Marshal Tito's govern ment signed in 1853 with her two neighbors who are members of the North Atlantic Alliance and brings Communist Yugoslavia a step closer to the Western orbit.
 It also links Yugoslavia indi- rectly with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, although she is not a NATO member.
 Cautiously worded, the pact pledges the three countries ale glance to the United Nations and protects Greek and Turkish obli- gations to NATO.

French Assembly Backs Premier Mendes-France's New Recovery Program

PARIS, R-The French Nation al Assembly Tuesday approved by massive majority Premier Pierre Mendes-France's economic and fi- nancial recovery program.
 The deputies not only gave Mendes-France a new vote of confidence but also accorded him large special powers to deal with Frances financial situation until March 31, 1855. U.
 It was another victory for the Premier who was given the Pre- miership almost two months ago on a three-fold program of reach ing truce in Indochina, working out a compromise on EDC and giving Frances economy a thor ough going over.
 The unofficial tally gave the vote as 362 to 90.
 The Communists, who had pre- viously supported Mendes-France, voted against him Tuesday. But he picked up the votes of many previously hostile members of the Popular Republican movement.

them with the news that some
body was trying to break in the
back door.
While the housekeeper tele-
phoned the police, the three
priests left the building by a

alley and surprised two men
working on the back door with
pinch bar, pliers and a set
of files.
They saw we were so deter
mined, that they didn't make
move" said Msgr. Hannah.

Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor

GENEVA, April 29.-The allies
today found themselves con-
fronted with an old and most
unsecret weapon. The Commu-
mist press offensive unleashed
here has added something new
to this Geneva conference.
If the various allied press Off
GERS are not worried about this
latest Red tactic, they ought to
be. In a series of three dramati-
cally staged press conferences
yesterday the Russians and Chi
nese Reds drew the largest au-
dience of the conference SO far
and neatly stole the headlines
from Secretary of State Dulles
in his opening speech.
It must be understood that
this is all very irregular. The
agreed procedure (although who
agreed to it is not entirely clearl
is for single press conference of
each delegation each day. There
is good deal of pickering over
the timing of these sessions. The
general idea, however, is that
they will all take place more or
less simultaneously after the
days meeting in the League of
Nations Building. Any briefings
in addition to these are supposed
to be strictly private and what's
said cannot be directly pinned on
the speaker.

At Reports of Schine Coddling

Hopes for Quick End to Hearing

The Presidents manner r
showed nothing but, complete
disgust and irritation. He said
he hoped the reporters would
excuse him from talking at all
on the subject. and his only hope
was that it all would be con-
cluded quickly.
At another point, Gen. Eisen-
hover was asked whether the
McCarthy-Army hearing was a
serious roadblock ito enactment
by Congress of his legislative
program.
Tells of Assurances.
The President said he always
had tried to be patient and that
congressional leaders had as
sured him the hearing would not
interfere with action on the pro-
gram and that the work of Con-
gress would not be delayed.
Gen. Eisenhower said, on a
similar subject of the Mccarthy
probes of communism, that he
had never intended to minimize
the danger of Communist in
filtration of the Government or
industrial plants. but that the
Government departments were
doing everything possible to un-
earth Reds and get rid of them.

The Communist performance
yesterday marked a flagrant de-
