Votes 10 Gust
Chavez, 81
But Senator Is
Expected to Win
Floor Showdown
By J. A. o'Leory

BY a party vote of to 4, the
Senate Rules Committee today
recommended the unseating of
Senator Chavez, Democrat. Of
New Mexico, because. of alleged
Irregularities in the 1852 cleo
ton in that State.
When the issue reaches the
Senate floor next week, however.
all indications are Senator
Chavez will win.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland announced the Cha
vez report will be brought up in
the Senate Monday for debate.
He hoped to get an agreement
to vote on it by 5 pm. Tuesday.
Although the Republicans
have a majority of one on COM
mitteeS, the Democrats outnum-
Der Republicans In the Senate,
48 to Al. and are counting on
the support Of several from
across the political aisle.
Hayden Motion Loses.
Senator Hayden. Democrat. of
Arizona offered an amendment
in committee to declare that
President Eisenhower did not re-
ceive the four electoral votes Of
New Mexico in 1852. His amend
ment was based on the theory
that since the presidential cleo
tors and senatorial candidates
were on the same ballots, they
would be as illegal in one respect
as IN another. The Hayden mo-
ton lost on a party vote.
Likewise, the five Republicans
rejected a substitute by Senator
Hennings, Democrat. Of Mis-
souri,. finding no evidence of
fraud. misdoing or improperly
attributable to Senator Chavez
or his agents.
Today's action grew out of a
contest filed against Senator
Chavez by his Republican oppo-
nent, former Secretary of War
Patrick j.. Hurley. In the 1852
count. Senator Chavez won by
5000 votes.
$4,000 Votes Questioned.
A three-man elections sub
committee was named to investi-
gate. The two Republicans.
Senators Barrett of Wyoming
and Potter of Michigan, re-
ported last week that 10000 of
the 247.000 votes cast in New
Mexico were subject to question.
The Republicans asserted that
$1,000 voters were deprived of
their right to secret ballot.
Other charges included altered
ballots. failure to observe the
voter-assistance laws and the al
legged illegal burning of $4,000
OollOIS.
Senator Hennings. the third
man on the subcommittee, will
answer these charges in a nil
nority report to be filed tomor-
row. He said in committee today
that 10 months of investigation
at a cost of over 100000 failed
to produce an evidence of wrong
doing by Senator Chavez.
If the Republicans should win,
which no one expects. the New
Mexico seat would become vacant
and a Republican Governor in
New Mexico could appoint a
Senator pending another election.

to take such steps as are neces-
sary to effectuate q 1862 treaty
without the fuIfillment Of cer-
tain things mentioned ii the

Secretary Dulles informed
Congress in q recent letter that
Il France fails to ratify the

treaty before the French Parlia-
ment recesses in August, it would
become advisable to take some
immediate action to restore SOW
ereignty to the West German
Republic. He suggested that this
might be done with an UNDER
standing that allied forces would
remain in Germany temporarily
and postpone the question or
rearming Germany without EDO.
The main purposes Of EDO
was to bring German n1anpoWer
into an integrated army with the
troops Of other European powers
instead Of reviving q separate
German army.
