Their concern was this: The
Flanders resolution did not give
Senator Mccarthy his 'tday in
court" and 1t was just such con-
demnations without fair hearing
which was scored as .'McC Carthyism. .
They asked each other II they could
go to their constituents this fall and
say they had fought noble battle
against f'McCarthyism' If they
themselves used the tactics Of "Mc-.
Carthyism."
Independent Senator Wayne
Morse OF Oregon, long Mccarthy
foe. told the Senate the Flanders
resolution had two things wrong
with 1t. It contained no specific
charges or evidence to back up
charges, and it had not been con-
sidered by a committee.
Other Senators pointed out that
the Arny-McC Carthy hearings had
Investigated specific charges cover
ing only one phase of the Senator's
career and that the verdict in that
case was not yet in.

ed three charges In his opening
speech and said he had 80 more if
the Senate wanted to hear them.
The first three were:
. Senator Mccarthy had shown
contempt" for the Senate when he
refused to answer questions about
his personal finances, put to him
by the 1852 investigating committee.
. He had Compromised" the
honor of the Nation when he sent
Roy M. Cohn and g. David Schine,
former Mccarthy aides, to Europe
on the famous "junketeering gum
shoe" trip.
. He had contempt for people"
against whom he made unfounded
accusations.
Senator Mccarthy himself acted
mostly as bystander during the
debate. He did tell the Senate, hcw-
ever, that he would never quit "in-
vestigation Of corruption and COM
muniSm In Government"
Senate Republican leaders said
debate on Mccarthy would be per-
mitted to continue until the resolu-
ton was disposed of. It would not
be blocked to expedite the Presi-
dents legislative program.

France
Mendes-Frunce Tackles
North Africu, Domestic
Economy, EDO Problems

Travelling at the same sizzling
pace he set for himself in bringing
the Indo-China situation to q head,
freshman Premier Pierre Mendes-
France continued his series Of at
tackS on Frances staggering domes-
tic and international problems last
week.
BY Thursday he had obtained his
cabinets approval for a drastic over
haul Of the domestic economy. He
hopes to stimulate industrial and
agricultural production by a return
to unlimited competition. His plan,
If approved by the National AS
sembly. will end Frances days as a
dependent on American aid, M.
Mendes-France believes.
Saturday M. Mendes-F France as
saulted the North African colonial
problem with drastic decree giving
TuniSia much wider control of its
internal affairs. He flew to Tunis
himself to explain his plan. The aim
is to end nationalist terrorism in the
colony while still retaining Frances
advantages.
The Bey of Tunis was told he could
form another government, If he
wished, to negotiate with France on
the specific terms Of the new inter-
nal sovereignty. Defense and foreign
affairs will still be handled by the
French.
Also last week, France Joined the
United States and Britain in study
ing new Soviet proposal for more
top-level talk on a mutually agree
able European security system. The
Kremlin made the suggestion last
week end, apparently in the hope OF
disrupting M. Mendes- Frances plans
to get French decision on the
European Defense Community treaty
this month.
All indications were that the
Soviet proposal would be firmly
refused.
The United States Senate mean
while started new prodding action
to nudge the French along toward
decision on EDO. It authorized
President Eisenhower to give West
Germany complete sovereignty by
fall even If EDO is not ratified. Ap-
parently this Senate move avoids the
necessity of calling special Senate
session later in the fall. when it
would conflict with the election

Power Tolkfest, Debate on Censure Motion
Send Tired Senate on Lengthy Detour

Most persons in official Washing
ton had one thing uppermost on
their minds last week-adjournment
of Congress. It was, Of course,
supposed to have been the last week
of the 83d Congress. Adjournment
did not come, however. The Senate
filibuSter on the atomic energy bill
even made it questionable If the
lawmakers could go home at the
end Of the coming week.
Here was the situation as last
week ended:
. The House had virtually cleared
its calendar and was coasting to
finish.
o The Senate had at least four
major programs to approve or reject
and the Mccarthy Flanders issue to
settle.
. The White House was still in
sistent that Congress complete work
on the Presidents program land
President Eisenhower was using the
carrot and the whip to make his
point clear.

FiEbuster

After 1870 hours and SO minutes
OF debate" ending last week, the
Senate had given at least q partial
yes" to the old question: Can a
filihnSter be broken when the ma
AjoritN decides to fight it out on
this line II it takes all summer?
This meeting Of the almost ire
sistihlc force and the relatively
manageable body took two weeks of
vital MSenate time, but it showed
that the majority can win, at least
under certain circumstances:
First. the majority must be tough,
and, second, the bill in question
must be basically acceptable to the
bulk of the Senators. The tough
ness was obvious last week. Ma
jority Leader William F. Knowland
Of California kept the Senate in
almost continuous day and night
sessions for the final week of the
debate. The takers. mostly North
ern liberals" and Southern IVA
State Senators, we're young and
strong as Senators 60. yet they
tired under the strain.
Brood Appeal Decisive
But 1t was the broad appeal Of
the bill that made victory possible.
The measure had two purposes:
To share atomic information with
other countries, and to promote
private development Of atomic pow
er in this country.
The INTERNATIONAL aspects of
the bill appealed to the filibusters
perhaps even more than to some
members of the Presidents own
party. And the domestic provisions
were approved by the Presenter
prising," conservative Senator's.
The filibuster was aimed at some
Of the domestic provisions. But
when the liberals" found they
could not have the international
provisions alone. they gave in and
accepted the whole bill substantially
as the President had requested.
This was what set of the dispute:
President Eisenhower had ordered
the Atomic Energy Commission to
negotiate long-term contract with
private utility companies to buy
private electric power. The COM
panies were to be subsidized. in eff

feet. through Government payment
OF some Of their taxes. The power
was not to be used by the Acc, how
ever. 1t was to be fed into Ten
nessee Valley Authority lines.
This power was intended to re-
place electricity sold by the IVA to
the Acc. iva, however, had
wanted to build its own steam-gen-
Grating plant and had looked to the
Acc sale as a good reason for ex-
panding its facilities.
The President did not want the
IVA to expand in that way. Hence
the TRANSMISSION of private power
into Twas public lines.
The f1libustering Senators wanted
to stop the shift in emphasis from
Government support of iva to pri-
vate power. They tried to bar such
move by amending the bill. But
they lost. Then they tried to talk
the domestic provisions Of the biIl
= to death. ~
Johnson Tips Scales
Their loss became inevitable when
Minority Leader Lyndon B. john
son Of Texas abandoned the liberals
and actively aided the majority in
seeking limits on debate.
The filibuster began to collapse
Monday even though the liberals
won two minor victories. Aided by
Senators who oppose limitation Of
debate on principle, they defeated a
move to apply cloture. It takes a
two-thirds majority to cut of de-
bate. Clotilre gained a majority, A
to AZ, but was well short of the "a
votes needed.
The second liberal victory was
on an amendment to ban special
tax relief to the private power COM
panies.
It was obvious the liberals could
gain no more, SO the filibuster fizzled.
Only fiareup was an all-night
speech by independent Senator
Wayne Morse of Oregon, who said
he resented Senator Knowland's
rough" tactics.
Passage came late Tuesday, 81 to
%. Only two Republicans were
among the bills opponents.
The House also approved It's ver-
sion of the atomic energy bill last
week after rejecting all Democratic
amendments. The two bills then
went to conference committee for
resolution of differences.

through two main channels, the
"honest broker" operations of AM
bassador Jefferson Caffrey In Cairo
and President Eisenhower's talks
with Prime Minister Churchill here
late in June.
The President was believed to
have supplied the clinching argu-
ment. He told Sir Winston enough
about the advances in atom and
hydrogen warfare to convince the
British that old strategic concepts
attaching great Importance to the
Suez Canal have been outdated.
Another factor reducing the i'm
portance of Suez was the recent
completion of the Turkey Pakistan
pact, which provides an anti-Soviet
defense line farther north. The
10000 British troops to be evacuated
also will be needed soon, 1t is felt,
for a strategic reserve force to be
stationed in the United Kingdom.
Until last week two main points
had held up the Suez settlement:
o Reactivation. The British wanted
q 10 to 20-year contract permitting
them to reactivate the Suez mill
tary base in case Turkey or any Of
the Arab states are attacked. Egypt
held out for shorter-term contract
and finally got one limited to seven
years.
Deactivation. Egypt Insisted de-
activation should take no more than
Is months from the time of signing
the agreement. After conSenting to
these terms last fall, Britain decided
later 1t would need more time. It
finally got 20 months. which will be
counted from the time detailed
agreements are signed.
The United States is now ex-
pected to begin talks with Egypt'S
army officer junta about military
and economic aid. subjects this
country would not discuss while its
principal ally, Great Britain, was
involved in the dispute over Suez,
Political reactions to the Suez
accord were mixed in both Egypt
and Britain, but the pact was
treated generally as q victory in
Egypt and an inevitable setback in
Britain. Strangers embraced on the
streets of Cairo.
Prime Minister Churchill was
chastised by group of his own
Conservative colleagues for doing
what he had once said he would
not do: Presiding over the disin.
tegration of the empire. But he
won House Of Commons approval
for his deal by the wide margin of
257 to 26.

District

Congress, rushing to get home and
start campaigning, acted swiftly last
week on several pieces Of legislation
for the District Of Columbia.
Biggest surprise was the ending
Of deadlocks on two measures in
volying transportation In the area.
Senate House conferees broke an
18-month stalemate by agreeing on
a. plan to set UP special regulatory
commission to control public transit
on an area wide basis. The break
came when Virginia, which opposes
such regulation, was exempted from
the measure.
Bridge Compromise
The other deadlock was over To-
cation of proposed bridge across
the Potomac River in downtown
Washington. Under prodding from
Chairman Francis Case of the Sen
ate District Committee, District Of
ficials and Federal planning ex-
perts compromised by deciding to
build two bridges. Cor details, see
metropolitan Scene" page A-30o
The transit commission bill, sired
by complaints about bus service in
suburban Virginia and Capital
Transit cutbacks in nearby Mary
land, was designed principally to
put regulation Of CTC on a sys-
tem-wide basis.
The regulatory commission would
be the first attempt to put an oper-
ational agency on such a basis, cut
ting across State lines here.
The three-man commission, to be
appointed by the President, would
take over all transit regulating pow
ers of the Districts Public Utilities
Commission as well as any local
powers Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The new Federal commission
would set streetcar and bus fares
in the District and nearby Mary
land. The bill is opposed, of course,
by the PUG, which would lose its
powers. and by the District Com
missioners. @
The House sent several minor bills
affecting the District to the White
House, including one to let the Dis
trict assessor hire assistants who
live IN the Virginia and Maryland
suburbs. 5
Three Bills Blocked
Three measures were blocked In
the House by Representative John
i. Mcmillan, Democrat, of South
Carolina, who complained the House
District Committee had passed them
without quorum present. He acted
after threats to attack q rider he
had added to one Of the bills.
The bill would have abolished
the Alley Dwelling Act, which viii
prohibit occupancy of all dwellings
including those which have re-
Gently been reconditioned in the

1855. The rider, part Of q bill once
vetoed by the President. would per-
NIT rebuilding of gasoline sta
ton at Massachusetts, and Wiscon-
sin avenues, now prohibited by Dis
etrict zoning.
The other two bills which were
blocked would revamp District traf-
fic laws and require that police
arrest books be kept open to in
spection as public records. The
arrest bill was designed to back
up present police policy in keeping
juvenile arrest records open. The
measures fate was complicated
when the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare asked that
juvenile arrest records be kept se-
cret.

The Work Load

The President laid out the work
load in his press conference. There
were six bills pending. he said. which
were important parts Of his program: :
Farm. The Senate had all its floor
action to be completed. Then its
farm bill would have to be recon-
ciled with the House-passed meas
ure. The dispute between the Pres
ident's flexible supports and the
existing high, rigid supports make
1t highly controversial bill.
Anti-C Communism. Two import
ant anti-Red measures, on wiretap-
ing and witness immunity. have
cleared one house. No great opti-
mism was voiced on the Hill for
final favorable decision on either.
however. And a number Of less
important Red bills had seen little
action of late.
Social security. The Senate need
ed to act, but quick clearance seemed
assured.
Foreign aid. The authorization
bill was virtually in the Presidents
pocket, needing only final vote
by the Senate-a vote blocked by
the Mccarthy debate. The appro-
priation bill had to wait for pas
sage of the authorization.
TaE reuision. This bill was sent
to the White House shortly after
the President spoke out.
Housing. This also was rushed to
the White House before the week
ended.
To get the rest of his program,
the President revealed a subtle plan
of awards and punishments. He
would make a few trips about the
country pumping for his .legisla-
tive program, he said. The tours
would take place during the cam
paigning season, but, he assured
the Nation, they woNld have nothing
to do with the elections.
On the other hand, he pointed
out, when he was in the State of
q campaigning Republican who was
an enthusiastic supporter Of his
program, he would certainly find
time to say a good word In the
candidates behalf.
A public pat on the back by the
popular President should be worth
votes in many close districts. And,
conversely, a cold shoulder should
lose votes. So the Presidents plans
for a speaking tour stood to gain
him support on Capitol Hill.
Evening star., 1954-08-01
Enthusiastically

The Mccarthy issue frequently
has brought the Senate's work to q
standstill, and last week 1t happened
again. The pending bill. foreign aid,
was laid aside on Friday and the
body turned to a resolution to s"con-
denim" Senator Joseph r. Mccarthy.
Republican, of Wisconsin for con-
duct "unbecoming a member Of the
United States Senate"
Here is the background on the
resolution:
Despite considerable talk about
Mccarthy in the past four and one
half years. there have been relatively
few attempts to "do something
about the free e-wheeling Red hunter.
There was the Tydings committee
investigation of Senator McCarthy's
charges in 1860, but the findings
were nconcluSive-and along party
lines.
Then attempts in 1851 and 1852
by Senator William Benton, Demo-
crat, of Connecticut to expel the
Wisconsinite fizzled when Senator
Mccarthy refused to testify before
an investigating committee.
Report Pending
This year the Senator and Army
officials were investigated by SUBJ
committee Of the Government OPP
erations Committee. But report
has not been filed.
Last week fourth major attempt
was made to slap down Mccarthy
but it looked like this latest try, too,
would finally wind up inconclusively.
This time Senator Ralph E.
Flanders, Republican, of Vermont
was the leader of the anti-McC Carthy
forces. He had introduced resolu-
ton to put the Senate on record as
condemning Senator Mccarthy.
Last week debate was opened on the
Flanders resolution.
From the start it was clear the
Vermont Republican would not
sweep to victory. There were sew
eral reasons. First, Senator Nc
Carthy had strong friends in the
Senate, men who approved both his
aims and methods. Second, other
Republicans believed he was an asset
to the party despite his methods.
Third. many Senators up for re-
election believed the Mccarthy fac
ton still could swing votes in the
home States. Fourth, several promi-
nent anti-McCarthy Senators be-
lieved the Flanders resolution was a
poor weapon.
While Senator Flanders spoke for
his resolution and Mccarthy sup
porters. including Everett M. Dirk
sen, Republican, Of Illinois, and
Herman Welker. Republican, Of
Idaho spoke against 1t. anti-Mc-
Carthy Senator's tried to find q
better way Of presenting their ease.
