!. Hoping for Early
Return Of Mccarthy
By james 7. Newton

Senators and others, anxious
TO complete unfinished business
and start some new projects of
the Senate Investigations sub
committee, last night were hop
ing for the temperance of Sem
ator Mccarthy when activities
are resumed at the Capitol Tues
day.
But there was no word as to
when the Wisconsin Senator
would return from the vacation
he started Is days ago. following
! the end of the Mccarthy Army
inquiry. He and Mrs. Mccarthy
left by private plane and they
have not been sighted since.
p Acting Chairman Mundt of the
! subcommittee wrote Chairman
Mccarthy last week to call q
meeting of the group at the ear
LEST possible moment to take up
G staff problems.
The three subcommittee Demo-
Gratis and Senator Potter, Rep1b-
1ican, of Michigan. are anxious
for a subcommittee meeting so
they can push demands for a
staff housekeeping" But they
and Senator Mundt are helpless,
since under Senate rules, only the
chairman can call committee
meeting.
Vacationing on Island.
Senator Mccarthy, who COM
planned all through the Army
Mccarthy row hearing that his
staff was ''immobilized" and di-
verified from the job Of exposing
Communists" has been doing a
bit Of immobilizing himself.
The Remember subcommittee
staff has been doing little more
than marking time since Senator
Mccarthy has been away. This,
rdespite the fact the Senator said
he was anxious to get at the
Communists in and out of Gov
: eminent who were holding a
razor over the Nations jugular
vein."
Senator Mccarthy is said to
be vacationing on an island
; owned by one of his rich Texas
oil friends off the Gulf coast of
Mexico. Aides said they have had
no direct contact with him. But
they have heard through inter-
mediaries that Senator Mccarthy
was having difficulty tearing
himself away from the quiet Of
the island.

The Rev. Francis j. Council,

has told Catholics that under
certain circumstances the obli-
cation of Government employees
to observe secrecy should yield
to the public good"
His comments on the issue
recently raised in the Army Nc
Carthy hearing appeared In an
article in the "Tydings." Los
Angeles Catholic archdiocesan
weekly.
Father Connell prefaced his
remarks on the issue by stating
the purpose of his article was
not to pass Judgment on the
problem from q standpoint of
civil legislation, but to PROFOUND
the principles of Catholic the
ology he believes are pertinent
to the issue.
Cites Theological Basis.
As quoted in the Catholic
Standard. archdiocesan paper Of
Washington. he said in part:
Catholic theology emphasizes
the strict binding force Of the
secrecy demanded of all who are
employed in governmental activ-
tiles or agencies"
Accordingly, those who hold
posts Of governmental employ
ment which provide them with
information Of a confidential
nature $50. would be guilty Of a
transgression of Gods law II
they divulged to unauthorized
persons any data pertaining to
the affairs of Government"
One exception to this. declares
Father Connell, is when the en-
ploye is aware that gravely
dishonest or subversive activities
are going on in his branch of
the public service.
Normally. this report should
be made to some authority in
his own department., he says,
"for good order and efficiency
demand that ordinarily each Of
our three branches Of Govern
ment =. manage it's own affairs
and correct any defects that may
occur in the sphere of its own
Jurisdiction"
Matter of Judgment.
However" Father Connell
adds. cit can happen that an en-
ploye in q branch Of Govern
ment is convinced that the sat
isfactory correction Of some Sc
rious abuse cannot reasonably
be expected within the scope of
his own department. In q
situation Of this nature the
Government employee may and
should bring the problem to the
attention of some person or per-
sons outside his own department
whom he judges competent and
willing to correct the dangerous
condition"
In making these comments,
Father Connell added the eau
ton that such a person base
his conscience on prudential and
objective reasons. not on UNI
founded suspicious, and above
all, not on personal ambitions or
on nolitical motives -

CHICAGO. May 17.-1t wasn't
bit like old times last night
when Joe Louis and Max
Schmeling got together.
For one thing, both parties
were much too friendly. For
another, they resembled only
lightly the two excellent fighters
who exchanged pulverizing ring
victories over one another in the
late '30s. .-
Louis, now a paunchy 40, and
Schmeling. 48 and mellow, got
together at a Chicago night club
in a visit sponsored by mutual
friends.
1t was the first time they had
met since Louis NEARLY killed.
Schmeling-the words. are Max's
defending his heavyweight
boxing title in June, 1888.
Two years before that, Schme-
ling, in a tremendous upset,
handed Louis his first profess
sional boxing defeat with a 18th
round knockout. Louis didn't
lose another fight until after he
announced his retirement as
champion in 1949.
There were frequent reports
before and after their second
fight that there was hard feel
ing between the two, supposedly
because Louis resented state
ments attributed to Schmeling
belittling Joe's race. If true,
there was no evidence of it last
night and both denied there ever
had been bad blood between
them.
I'VE were the victims of bad
propaganda" Schmeling said as
the two former champions posed
playfully with one another for
photographers. There never was
any bad feeling on my part"
Louis agreed. Were good
friends" he declared.
Both agreed on the reason

132 Pounds Likely
For Native Dancer
In Suburban Cap
BY the Asseeiofed Press

NEW YORK, May 17.-Native
Dancer, the jet-like gray from
Alfred Vanderbilt's stable. can
expect no mercy from the racing
handicappers from now on.
The manner In which he won
last Saturdays $39, 200 Metropol-
itan mile at Belmont Park Is
certain to mean only one thing
plenty Of weight every time he
faces the barrier. In fact, it
wouldn't be surprising to see
John B. Campbell, New York rae
ing secretary. assign him as much
as 132 pounds for the mile-and-
a-quarter Suburban Handicap at
Belmont May 81.
The Dancer picked up 100, the
heaviest he has carried in win
ming 20 Of 81 races, in the Metro
politan and proceeded to step the
mile in 1855.
The Vanderbilt flyer beat
Straight Face by only q neck.
But the time and the manner
in which he won converted a
lot of skeptics who thought
Native Dancer wouldn't be the
horse this year that he was as
q 3-year-old.
Campbell will issue the weights
for the Suburban May 26. Only
six horses have carried 100
pounds or more to victory in
the rich handicap since it was
first raced in 1884.
WhiSk Broom II set the much.
disputed track record of min
utes fiat in winning the 1918
renewal under 139. Other high
weight winners have been Grey
Lag, 1876; Equipoise. 1872; Devil
